[ecf-dev] ECF 3.0 branch and update
|
Hi Folks,
Today, Ted K and I created a new branch: Release_3_0. We also set our
build to use this branch.
Between now and Galileo release, *only* the following changes may occur
on the Release_3_0 branch
a) documentation
b) critical bug fixes (after required review)
HEAD is now available for changes that are intended for after Galileo
(i.e. ECF 3.1 or later). *But* since we haven't yet jointly decided
what next year's versioning and release timing will be, please do not
introduce API breaking changes until we figure out what our planned
releases will be next year (i.e. major release or minor releases only,
etc). I would like to have a discussion about versioning for next year
at ECF's next conference call (next Tuesday, June 9).
Also, FYI, we've made our final contribution to the platform/p2 build
and so the 11 ECF plugins contributed for the platform will not be built
again before Galileo. If you have any desired changes to these 11
plugins (see [1] for list), please bring up for discussion here before
applying *any* change.
Note that the Galileo repo will *not* include the ECF filetransfer
bundles...rather these bundles should be gotten from the platform. If
this affects any consumers of ECF negatively, please make it known here
and we'll figure something out.
The ECF 3.0/Galileo release review will be next Wed, June 10 at 1500 UTC
(see [2]). Please attend if you can. ECF has submitted it's IP log and
had it approved, and is ready for the review.
I'm looking forward to a really excellent and exciting ECF 3.0 community
release for Galileo. Committers and contributors...please keep up the
good work on finding/fixing bugs and creating documentation. Everything
that's done now will make usage and adoption that much easier later.
Thanksinadvance to the entire Eclipse community!
Scott
