The new key features in Knopflerfish Pro 5.1 are:
- Support for starting from a single jar that includes all jars, xargs and property files needed to start the entire system
- Knopflerfish framework can now be executed in read only mode, i.e. no files are written by the framework. This assumes bundles are installed as reference file URLs
- UserAdmin is completely self-contained, i.e. no dependencies on KF specific bundles
- CM's persistent storage has been made more robust and fault resilient
- HTTP Server now handles chunked transfer encoding correctly
- Minor fixes in SCR
- Repository Commands supports -r flag which recursively finds and installs dependencies
- Corrects issues in DMT Admin
- New bundle icons for Appmanager and UI Packages, making it easier to spot them in the KF desktop
