Changelog


Version 1.1.1 (17 June 2004):
- Changed project directory structure and build.xml to conform with the
  OSCAR guidelines for OBR
- Moved manifest.mf, metadata.dtd and metadata.xml to the res directory
- Added system properties (see above)
- Removed the util package
- Added the possibility of receiving a ServiceReference along with the service in bind and unbind methods. This is useful to be able to access the service properties. The bind and unbind methods that receive ServiceReferences must receive them as the first parameter.
- Changed license to BSD


Version 1.1 (16 Jan 2004)
- Changes in the component descriptor file (old syntax still supported)
  <instance> --> <component>
  <service interface="..."> --> <provides service="...">
- Removed swing dependency (EventListenerList from swing was used in version 1.0)
- Moved classes from the common package to the servicebinder package. Classes concerned are:
   Lifecycle
   InstanceReference
- Removed factory support including
   Factory interface
   GenericFactory class
- Lifecycle method activate is now called before services are registered (activation was necessary before services could be provided)
- Lifecycle method deactivate is now called after services are unregistered (this was done before unregistration previously)

NOTE: this version does not support factories. Support for factories will come back again in next release (1.2)
