Apache Karaf runtime 4.3.3 has been released. This release contains a bunch of fixes, dependency updates, and improvement. I will share some highlights in this release. You can download Apache Karaf runtime here: http://karaf.apache.org/download.html .

For JDK17 support, we did: new ASM version new JDK options at runtime new packages exported by Karaf Cleanly close SSH connection We identified an issue with the Karaf SSH connections. The SSH connections were not cleanly close, and we had to wait the timeout to close the socket. It means that we can have this state once the SSH client disconnects: $ netstat | grep 8101 tcp6 0 0 localhost:8101 localhost:47844 CLOSE_WAIT 4.3.3 fixes
