Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Juno M1 simultaneous release and Eclipse

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The reason is that 4.2 is where all major
new feature development is happening in the Platform. The 3.8 version is
focused primarily on stability and bug fixes. I believe most projects contribute
their latest release to the release train each year.

Please don't hesitate to enter a bug
against Eclipse Platform if you are seeing a problem that occurs when running
your component on 4.2 that doesn't happen on 3.8. They should be fully
compatible, and unless you are using Platform internal code that has changed
between those releases, you should be able to run on either one.
