Re: [platform-ui-dev] Breaking API changes need to be reviewed by PMC

[Randy Hudson <hudsonr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

What are the upcoming changes in action
architecture?  I'd like to add my concerns to a bugzilla if one exists.

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
