+<h2>5. <a name="builtinOSGiConsole">Built-in Equinox OSGi console removed</a></h2>
+<p><strong>What is affected:</strong> Usage of the built-in Equinox OSGi console
+</p>
+<p><strong>Description:</strong>
+Since the 3.0 release the Equinox Framework implementation has provided an OSGi console
+implementation. This console is useful for debugging the OSGi environment. The 4.2 release
+disabled the built-in OSGi console included in the Equinox Framework
+(see <a href="../4.2/incompatibilities.html#osgiconsole">4.2 incompatibilities</a>).
+The 4.4 release has removed the built-in OSGi console completely from the Equinox Framework
+implementation.
+</p>
+<p><strong>Action required:</strong> In order to use the OSGi console, it is necessary to install
+the console bundle itself - org.eclipse.equinox.console and
+the three Gogo bundles - org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime,
+org.apache.felix.gogo.command, org.apache.felix.gogo.shell.
+Documentation for the Equinox console is available at
+<a href="../../guide/console_shell.htm"><b>Console Shell</b></a>. The configuration property
+<code>osgi.console.enable.builtin</code> no longer has any effect.
