# What's new in version 4?
+## new Thread model

DependencyManager 4.0 has been significantly reworked to improve support for
concurrency. The following principles form the basis of the new concurrency
model in DM4.
* All external events that influence the state of dependencies are recorded
and given to the serial executor of the component. We record whatever data
comes in, so when the actual job is run by the serial executor, we still have
access to the original data without having to access other sources whose state
might have changed since.

Here, all components will be handled by Executors provided by the
ComponentExecutorFactory, except those having a package starting with
"org.apache.felix.dependencymanager.samples.tpool" (because the threadpool is
itself defined using the Dependency Manager API).
+You will find a full description of the new thread model in the
[Reference](../reference/thread-model.html) section.

+## New features

In addition, some new features have been implemented in dependency manager:
* Auto Config Iterable fields: AutoConfig dependencies can be applied on
Iterable<Service> fields in order to be able to traverse currently injected
services safely. The Iterable must be parameterized with the Service type. See
org.apache.felix.dependencymanager.samples/src/org/apache/felix/dependencymanager/samples/dictionary/api/Spellcheck.java
for an example.

Some of the samples require that you configure some pids or factory pids from
Web Console, which can be accessed using
