Overview

This release is the first GA release of ServiceMix Kernel. A few bugs and enhancements have been done
to the Kernel since the second release candidate. The most two important fixes from a user point of view
are SMX4KNL-70 which makes sure the bundles provided in the distribution are used first instead of the ones
from the user's local maven repository and SMX4KNL-77 which allows artifacts in the /deploy folder to be
started when the needed dependencies have been installed successfully (the previous behavior was to fail
if there were missing bundles when the artifact is processed).
