        Release notes
        #############
        
        iPOPO 0.5
        *********
        
        API Changes
        ===========
        
        Framework
        ---------
        
        * ``BundleContext.install_bundle()`` now returns the ``Bundle`` object instead
          of the bundle ID.
          ``BundleContext.get_bundle()`` has been updated to accept both IDs and
          ``Bundle`` objects in order to keep a bit of compatibility
        
        * ``Framework.get_symbolic_name()`` now returns *pelix.framework* instead of
          *org.psem2m.pelix*
        
        * ``ServiceEvent.get_type()`` is renamed ``get_kind()``. The other name is
          still available but is declared deprecated (a warning is logged on its first
          use).
        
        
        Shell
        -----
        
        * Shell command methods now take an ``IOHandler`` object in parameter instead
          of input and output file-like streams.
          This hides the compatibility tricks between Python 2 and 3 and simplifies the
          output formatting.
        
        
        Additions
        =========
        
        Project
        -------
        
        * Added this "release notes" page to the web site
        
        Framework
        ---------
        
        * ``BundleContext.install_visiting(path, visitor)``:
        
          * Visits the given path and installs the found modules if the visitor accepts
            them
        
        * ``BundleContext.install_package(path)`` (*experimental*):
        
          * Installs all the modules found in the package at the given path
          * Based on ``install_visiting()``
        
        
        iPOPO
        -----
        
        * Components with a ``pelix.ipopo.auto_restart`` property set to *True* are
          automatically re-instantiated after their bundle has been updated.
        
        
        Services
        --------
        
        * Remote Services: use services of a distant Pelix instance
        
          * Multicast discovery
          * XML-RPC transport (not fully usable)
          * JSON-RPC transport (based on a patched version of jsonrpclib)
        
        * EventAdmin: send events (a)synchronously
        
        iPOPO 0.4
        *********
        
        Version 0.4 fixes many bugs and provides new features:
        
        Pelix
        =====
        
        * ``create_framework()`` utility method
        * The framework has been refactored, allowing more efficient services and
          events handling
        
        iPOPO
        =====
        
        * A component can provide multiple services
        * A service controller can be injected for each provided service, to
          activate or deactivate its registration
        * Dependency injection and service providing mechanisms have been refactored,
          using a basic handler concept.
        
        Services
        ========
        
        * Added a HTTP service component, using the concept of *servlet*
        * Added an extensible shell, interactive and remote, simplifying the usage
          of a framework instance
        
        iPOPO 0.3
        *********
        
        Packages have been renamed. As the project goes public, it may not have
        relations to isandlaTech projects anymore.
