                    ==================

  Overview
  --------

   New to this release of Apache Karaf is a JAAS Database Login Module, a way to store
 passwords in a secured way, a mechanism that allows a karaf application to distinguish 
 between UserPrincipal and RolePrincipal without depending from the Karaf JAAS Module. 
   The shell console has been enhanced to be available in a plain non-OSGi environment and
 smart tab completion has been improved, along with various commands. 
   We have also resolved a number of outstanding issues, and improved support on OS X and 
 IBM Java based systems. For more detail please see the change log below.
