iPOPO v0.5.5 has been released !

About iPOPO
===========

iPOPO is a service-oriented component model (SOCM) framework for Python, inspired from the Java project iPOJO and from the OSGi specification.

What's new in 0.5.5
===================

Major change : the iPOPO project is now released under the Apache License 2.0 (instead of GPLv3).

This version introduces the iPOPO handlers: they allow to create new decorators and to add some behavior to components instances.

New features:

    Added a context pelix.utilities.use_service(bundle_context, service_reference), like the use_ipopo(bundle_context) added in the previous release
    Added iPOPO handlers
    get_*_service_reference*() methods have a default LDAP filter set to None. Only the service specification is required, event if set to None.
    Added the ConfigurationAdmin service : a white board pattern persistent configuration service
    Added the FileInstall service : watches for changes in folders
