Fw: [platform-debug-dev] Flexible Debug Platform Development Plan for 3.

[Darin Wright <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We have merged the new "flexible
platform" support back to HEAD for tomorrow's I-build. Development
now continues in HEAD. The internal APIs will be in flux for most of M4,
and we'll hope to have some documentation for interested parties in early
M5.

Subject	[platform-debug-dev] Flexible Debug Platform Development Plan for        3.2 M4

Debug Developers,

During the course of 3.2 milestone 4, the debug platform will be 
undergoing a significant overhaul in order to integrate changes for the
following plan item (support for flexible hierarchy, pluggable update,
asynchronous viewers, etc):

        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=106205

Our goal is to release the new platform support to HEAD for the Nov 22
integration build. In order to minimize impact on nightly builds, our plan
to develop and release the new support is as follows:

* Version HEAD today (v1), and release this to the next integration build
(Nov 8)
* Merge our prototype implementation of the flexible debug platform into
HEAD and version it (v2)
* Start a new branch for continued development on the flexible debug 
platform
* Revert HEAD to (v1), for nightly builds and critical fixes

Main stream development of the debug  platform will be done in the
branch. 
Only critical fixes will be released to HEAD, and any fixes released to
HEAD must also be placed in the development branch, to ease future 
merging. The new branch will tentatively be named "flexible_platform".
