+ As per the Target Management
+plan,
+we reached API Freeze for RSE 1.0M4.
+In fact we have reviewed and documented all relevant APIs, and they
+have proven useful in earlier proprietary versions of RSE.
+Yet, due to a lack of public feedback so far we still want to
+declare the APIs provisional for now.
+This means, that we reserve the right to change any API after RSE 1.0
+in a not backward compatible way. All such API changes will be voted on
+by committers on the
+dsdp-tm-dev developer mailing list, and documented in a migration guide
+for future releases.
+Currently, we see the following areas for potential API changes:
+
+ - Classes and Interfaces that are not meant for public use will be
+ moved to packages tagged as internal. This will apply
+ particularly to the "implementation" plugins for the ssh, ftp and
+ local subsystems (these do not define any new APIs anyways).
+ - The IConnectorService interface may be slightly modified
+ in order to allow for better UI / Non-UI separation.
+ - Some more RSE Model classes may be moved from the UI plugin to the
+ non-UI core plugin.
+
+If you want to start programming against RSE APIs now, best let us know
+about your endeavours and keep yourself up-to-date. Stay in contact with
+the
+dsdp-tm-dev developer mailing list, and give feedback to make the
+APIs better.
