| [mylyn-dev] feature freeze and API update |
We have reached the feature freeze for the 3.2 release. All planned API enhancements have been completed. I have attached a list of API changes since 3.2M2 below. We'll update the porting guide for Mylyn 3.2 in the next few weeks and post more detailed information how integrators can take advantage of new features in Mylyn 3.2. The API will be fully backwards compatible with 3.1 and 3.0. I have created this bug to track progress: 278726: update porting guide for 3.2 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=278726 Committers, I'll be submitting the IP log for Galileo tomorrow. That means patches from non-committers must not be applied to head until after the release. Please post here first in case you need an exception. I encourage every committer to go through their list of unresolved bugs scheduled for 3.2 and put all feature enhancements on the backlog (bugs marked as P1/P2 and scheduled for ---) or bump them to the next milestone as appropriate. We are planning to publish the 3.2RC1 build along with a New & Noteworthy tomorrow. Integrators, please note that all all internal classes and methods marked as deprecated are candidates for removal prior to the release. If you rely on deprecated internals it is recommended to use the documented replacement instead or file a bug stating that you require a particular method or class.
