BTW, there wasn't a convenience distro release for Felix framework
1.8.1, which only contained a few specific fixes. If you want to use
that version, just download the org.apache.felix.main-1.8.1.jar file and
replace bin/felix.jar with it.
Look at the change log to see if it is worthwhile for you; if not, just
wait for the next release.
