<ul>
<li>Added a <b>milestone update site</b> for RSE 2.0 milestone builds at
<a href="http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/updates/milestones">http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/updates/milestones</a>.
Builds on this site are tested against the latest Eclipse Platform 3.3 Milestones
only. Update jars are currently packed but unsigned, until the fix for Platform bug
<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168594">168594</a>
is available as a milestone (supposedly 3.3M5). Contributions to the Europa
coordinated release are served from this site.<br/>
The official TM update site will continue serving RSE 1.0 stream updates only,
which are compatible with Eclipse 3.2.x, until RSE 2.0 is released.</li>
As per [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175241">], the RSE Core feature references
this update site os when you install an RSE 2.0 milestone, you can "check for updates" to get the next
one or add components from the site.</li>
<li><b>Terminal</b>: [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168893">168893</a>]

Use rxtx-2.1 (gnu.io) for serial line support instead of javax.comm. See the new
<a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.tm.core/terminal/org.eclipse.tm.terminal.serial/README.txt?root=DSDP_Project&view=co">README</a> for installing RXTX.</li>
<li>A <b>Shell Processes</b> subsystem is now available for Linux, to show Processes through an SSH or other contributed Shell channel.
This is important enabling technology, since it shows how to add functionality in one subsystem, by re-using another subsystem.
Thanks to Montavista for this contribution. [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=159522">159522</a>]
<li><b>Read-only</b> and <b>Last-modified</b> properties on remote file systems are now supported by API,
so copying files across systems can keep these attributes. A new Preference setting governs the transfer
of timestamps. Also, IRemoteFileService now has API to get streams for remote files, thus allowing to
download only parts of a huge remote file. See [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=170926">170926</a>] for details.

<p>As per the Target Management

we reached API Freeze for RSE 1.0.</p>
<p>In fact we have reviewed and documented all relevant APIs, and they
have proven useful in earlier proprietary versions of RSE.<br/>
Yet, due to a lack of public feedback so far we still want to
<b>declare the APIs provisional for now</b>.</p>
<p><b>We are committed to not introducing any incompatible
API changes on the RSE 1.0 maintenance stream (1.0.x).</b><br/>

in a not backward compatible way.<br/>
All such API changes will be voted on
<p>An important part of the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/development/tm_project_plan_2_0.html">Target Management 2.0 Project Plan</a>
is to harden the APIs which were provisional by RSE 1.0. Naturally, this requires
API changes, and especially moving lots of classes which we cannot guarantee to
support in the future into internal packages.</p>
<p>We are committed to not introducing any incompatible
API changes on the RSE 1.0 maintenance stream (1.0.x), but we need to

by committers on the <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/dsdp-tm-dev">

for future releases.</p>

<p>Currently, we see the following areas for more potential API changes:
<ul>
<li>Classes and Interfaces that are not meant for public use will be
moved to packages tagged as <tt>internal</tt>. This will apply
particularly to the "implementation" plugins for the ssh, ftp and
local subsystems (these do not define any new APIs anyways).</li>
<li>The <tt>IConnectorService</tt> interface may be slightly modified
in order to allow for better UI / Non-UI separation.</li>
<li>Some more RSE Model classes may be moved from the UI plugin to the
non-UI core plugin.</li>
</ul>

about your endeavours and keep yourself up-to-date. Stay in contact with

The following lists those API changes that are not backward compatible and require
user attention. A short hint on what needs to change is given directly in the list.
More information can be found in the associated bugzilla items.
<ul>
<li><b>Modified Extension Point subsystemConfigurations</b> to reference system types by ID rather than
by name. Client code needs to use the <b><i>systemTypeIds</i></b> tag now rather than <samp>systemTypes</samp>
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=162081">162081</a>].
<li><b>Removed Extension Points for Popup Menus and Property Pages:</b> The RSE-specific extension points
<samp>org.eclipse.rse.ui.propertyPages</samp> and <samp>org.eclipse.rse.ui.popupMenus</samp> were removed
because newer Eclipse versions have all required functionality in the base extension points already.
Example code, tutorials and ISV docs were updated and have the required information for how to migrate
to the new extension points. [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=172651">172651</a>]
<li><b>Moved extension point</b> <samp>org.eclipse.rse.ui.archiveHandlers</samp> to <samp><b>org.eclipse.rse.services.archiveHandlers</b></samp>
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=173871">173871</a>].
<li><b>Deep Filtering:</b> The SystemView now supports Context Information for queries of multiple filters to the same remote elements.
That is, the SystemViewElementAdapter.getChildren() method can know the filer context in which a query is made.
This is necessary in order to properly support "deep filtering" by file types. An API change was required
to get this implemented: <b>Existing code needs to change</b> two method signatures in classes deriving from
AbstractSystemViewAdapter. See [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=170627">170627</a>] for details.
<li><b>Making classes internal:</b> Many classes have been made internal, and PDE support for generating
warnings of discourage access has been enabled. Client code should not have used the classes which are
now internal anyways; but if you do, just running "organize imports" should make your code compile again.
See [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=170922">170922</a>] for details.
