[rap-dev] Development updates and RAP 3.1 RC4 candidate

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi RAP Developers,

like every year I've created just in time before RC4 the new maintenance branches in Git.

Everything related to the RAP 3.1 development is from now on done in the streams/3.1-maintenance branches. This includes possible changes for our Eclipse Neon release, but also the backports of potential bugfixes for future 3.1.x.

Based on the new branches, I've set up two new build jobs in our HIPP that are used to build our release from this branch:

  https://hudson.eclipse.org/rap/job/rap-3.1-runtime/ (RAP Runtime)
  https://hudson.eclipse.org/rap/job/rap-3.1-tools/ (RAP Tools)

Ongoing development, especially anything related to RAP 3.2 will be done in the master branches.

For Eclipse Neon I've prepared our last build candidate based on Platform RC4a. The necessary URLs and build details of our RAP 3.1 RC4 candidate:

RAP Runtime:
https://hudson.eclipse.org/rap/job/rap-3.1-runtime/3/

p2 repo at http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/3.1/RC4-20160607-1451

RAP Tools:
https://hudson.eclipse.org/rap/job/rap-3.1-tools/4/

p2 repo at http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/tools/3.1/RC4-20160607-1457

These are our last scheduled builds for RAP 3.1.0. I will be monitoring the different channels and inform if there are any rebuild requests caused by upstream projects. My intention is to contribute this build to Neon in a few hours.

Thanks,

Markus
