The Knopflerfish team is pleased to announce the release of Knopflerfish 5.1 now available for download from the Knopflerfish web site.

Knopflerfish version 5.1 is the first minor release of Knopflerfish  implemented according to the OSGi Release 5 specification and includes several minor enhancements as well as all bug fixes made since KF 5.0 was released. The 5.1 release also includes fixed related to Java 8 and Knopflerfish 5.1 passes all tests on Java 7 and 8, as well as older Java versions, and embedded Java profiles.

The new key features in Knopflerfish OSGi 5.1 are:

• CM's persistent storage has been made more robust and fault resilient
• HTTP Server now handles chunked transfer encoding correctly
• Minor fixes in SCR
• Repository Commands supports -r flag which recursively finds and installs dependencies
• Plus many more minor fixes and enhancements.
