36 : johna 1.13 <p>October 20, 2003 (M4 milestone) - Most existing background activity has
37 :     been moved to use the jobs API. New feature work (such as quick diff) is also
38 :     using jobs extensively. The UI now gives feedback when a modal operation
39 :     is blocked due to conflicts with a background operation, and the user is able to
40 :     cancel when in this state. A dynamic team has been setup to address the remaining
41 :     responsiveness issues for the M5 milestone.
42 :     </p>
43 : johna 1.6 <p>
44 : johna 1.10 July 14, 2003 - Several clients are now using the job manager for background
45 :     activity, including the UI decorator and various debug threads. The CVS/Team
46 :     component is using jobs in a "work in progress" mode that has to be enabled
47 :     from preference pages. This includes background filling of the repository view,
48 :     background update of live sync view, and background CVS operations such as checkout.
49 :     The UI progress indicator needs to be manually enabled by hard-coding the preference
50 :     "showProgressIndicator=true" in the org.eclipse.ui.workbench preference store.
51 :     In branch "Bug_36957", org.eclipse.core.resources now uses background jobs for
52 :     building, resource change notification, and workspace snapshot (incremental save).
53 :     Search and JDT core components are actively working on moving to job manager API.
54 :     <p>
55 : johna 1.8 June 24, 2003 - The additional support from the Workbench team for the responsive UI work
56 : johna 1.7 has been released to HEAD. It appears in Nightly builds starting with N20030624 and will be
57 :     included in the July 1 integration build. Many bug fixes and API refinements have been
58 :     released to the job manager infrastructure in org.eclipse.core.runtime in HEAD.</p>
59 :     <p>
60 : johna 1.8 June 4, 2003 - Implementation of core job manager API has been released to the 3.0 HEAD stream.
61 : johna 1.4 This API is still experimental, and is not currently used by any components in the
62 :     platform. There is ongoing work in branch "Bug_36957" in both core and UI
63 :     that is beginning to use this API.</p>
