[mylyn-dev] Re: feature freeze and API update

[Steffen Pingel <steffen.pingel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 3.2RC1 release has been postponed until tomorrow to integrate the
changes for this bug:

 274790: [api] provide a submit button in the task editor header
 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=274790

We were able to resolve the outstanding problems that were previously
blocking the addition of the submit button to the header of the Task
Editor. The API and features documented on the bug above will be
available in 3.2RC1. The change is fully backwards compatible and the
submit button will not be displayed unless a flag on
AbstractTaskEditorPage is set explicitly. More detailed information
will be posted in the porting guide.

The New & Noteworthy and release announcement will follow soon.

Steffen
