Dear Spring community,
I'm pleased to announce that Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGi(tm) Service Platforms (formerly known as Spring OSGi) 1.1.0 RC1 has been released.

Downloads | JavaDocs | Reference Documentation | FAQ | Changelog

The first release candidate in the 1.1.x branch, RC1 introduces :

* integration with SpringSource Bundle Repository
* event notifications for rebinding OSGi service importers
* support for custom locations for Spring powered bundles
* pluggable mechanism for determining service dependencies
* event notification regarding the pre-refresh dependency activities
* dedicated exceptions for invalid importer proxy usage
* access to the native OSGi ServiceReference for OSGi importers
* support for S2AP Web-ContextPath header

RC1 is expected to be the only candidate before the 1.1.0 final release.

Please see the reference documentation and changelog for more information.

Feedback on new and existing features is appreciated.

Maven users, please note that this release is not published in the central maven repository. Instead, it is published on Amazon's S3 service, just like all Spring Portfolio milestones. To use it, add the following repository to your POM:

<repository>
   <id>spring-milestone</id>
   <name>Spring Milestone Repository</name>
   <url>http://maven.springframework.org/milestone</url>
</repository>
