Changes in 2.1.0

Bndtools 2.1.0.REL

This page describes the changes since 2.0.0.REL.

It mainly describes the changes in Bndtools itself, not those in Bnd (which is used internally in Bndtools).

Notes

• Existing workspaces should update their cnf/buildrepo/biz.aQute.launcher to version 1.0.6 to fix issues with paths containing whitespace.
• We're deprecating running from a *.bnd file, which is why we're no longer showing the 'Run Requirement/Resolve' panel on the Run tab. Users are strongly advised to migrate their run settings into *.bndrun files
