24 :     proposal. None of them has been updated to reflect that. The Eclipse online
25 :     help for 3.0 gives the correct picture.</em></p>

40 :     <p>3.0 was released on June 26. The encoding story was changed since 3.0
41 :     M8 to allow setting the encoding for an individual resource. In the end
42 :     of the 3.0 cycle, a highly demanded feature was that resource change events
43 :     were issued when the encoding for files changed (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59899">59899</a>,
44 : rchaves 1.6 planned for 3.0.1). There is <a href="documents/plan_encoding_events.html">ongoing
45 :     work</a> on investigating how such feature can be provided. </p>
46 : rchaves 1.3 <p><em>February 23, 2004</em></p>
47 :     <p>A new version for the proposal has been released. Major changes include
48 :     the removal of support for setting the encoding for a specific file, folder-level
49 :     default encodings and encoding-change events. Part of the API proposed has
50 :     been released as part of the 3.0 M7 milestone build. There is ongoing work
51 :     on support from Runtime to determine the encoding for arbitrary input streams.</p>
