Release Notes - Karaf - Version 2.1.0
New to this release of Apache Karaf is a JAAS Database Login Module, a way to store passwords in a secured way, a mechanism that allows a karaf application to distinguish between UserPrincipal and RolePrincipal without depending from the Karaf JAAS Module.
The shell console has been enhanced to be available in a plain non-OSGi environment and smart tab completion has been improved, along with various commands.
We have also resolved a number of outstanding issues, and improved support on OS X and IBM Java based systems. For more detail please see the change log below.
