[platform-ui-dev] Breaking API changes need to be reviewed by PMC
|
Team, please make note of the following, from the latest planning meeting
notes.
API *evolution*:
- no unintentional API changes
- every change needs to be pre-described
- what is the change
- how to deal with it
- motivation
- PMC must sign off on all breaking changes based on that description
- Jim is the initial contact
- no breaking changes after Christmas
The main area of breaking API changes in Platform UI will be due to the
RCP work, but there will be other areas, e.g. changes to the action
architecture.
Jim can help us with any API review.
The cut-off for API changes is actually earlier than Christmas. From the
R3.0 plan:
Friday October 10, 2003 - Milestone 4 (3.0 M4) - initial API freeze -
stable build reflecting progress
Friday November 21, 2003 - Milestone 5 (3.0 M5) - APIs frozen - stable
build reflecting progress
Thanks,
Nick
