2.1 Development Effort - Milestone 4 (December 13, 2002)
Performance improvement, with a focus on startup time, space usage, and 
scalability. 
See PRs tagged with performance keyword and milestone 2.1 M4. 
Bug fixing - address P1 and P2 PRs 
Improvements to editor management (dealing with many open editors) 
add drop-down to the right of the tabs, showing all open editors 
drop-down replaces editors dialog 
drop-down has key binding (Ctrl+Shift+W) 
preference for amount of tab compression (none, low, medium, high) 
preference for tabs in single row vs. multiple 
preference for number of tabs visible (shows most recently used N) 
editors view, having same look and feel as the drop-down except in a view 
Refinement of UI for customizable keybindings 
UI changes for Flexible Project Structure (see the Core docs) 
Improvements to ordering and order stability in action sets (bugs 16282 and 18357) 
Preference to bring Tasks view to front when new problems found (bug 2066) 
Experimental work items (may not surface in the milestone build): 
Table of contents in wizards 
Investigate lazy update of views (bug 27084) 
Dropped items: 
Floating views (from M3). This investigation is paired with the work on 
cheat sheets, which has been defered until after 2.1.
