Description Dani Megert CLA 2003-02-25 04:41:04 EST
Build 2.1 RC1

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.runtime 2 4 Feb 25, 2003 10:26:30.31
!MESSAGE The platform's authorization database file format has changed.  Cached
authorization information will be lost.

This is only shown in the .log. The user is not informed.

The README should inform the user about this: security aware users which are
asked for a password at a place where they haven't for a long time could be worried.

Do you mean 1.0 to 2.1 migration? The format of the Core keyring file changed 
in 2.0 but has not changed since. I only get this message when 2.1 is launched 
on a 1.0 workspace.

2.0 -> 2.1.

How did you test it?

Test Case:
1. Download 2.0 (Thu, 27 Jun 2002 -- 18:35 (-0400))
http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-2.0-200206271835/index.php
2. Install
3. Start Eclipse
4. Add repository connection to dev.eclipse.org with your account
5. shutdown - observe: no .log
6. Download 2.1 RC1 (Fri, 21 Feb 2003 -- 15:57 (-0500))
http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/S-RC1-200302211557/index.php
7. Install
8. Start Eclipse with -data <workspace_2_0>
9. Expand HEAD from of the repository connection 
Observe:
- you have to re-enter the password
- this .log is created (which was not there before I started 2.1):

Comment 3 Michael Valenta CLA 2003-02-26 09:41:48 EST
I tested 2.0.2->2.1. I will test 2.0 to 2.1 to verify. Probably wouldn't hurt 
to have it in the readme anyway since it happens on 1.0 to 2.1
Comment 4 Michael Valenta CLA 2003-04-04 10:24:25 EST
Thsi was added to the 2.1 readme
