Important Bug Fixes, Enhancements and API changes:
-- API: Several SystemMessages and Shared Resource Strings have been moved
- from RSEUIPlugin to non-UI

-- A new downloadable package is now available for the RSE User Actions framework

+ package in Incubation status. Thanks to Radoslav Gerganov for contributing this new

- Tgz and tar.gz files are now supported by the DSore and Local archive handlers.
Thanks to Johnson Ma for contributing this new functionality

-- API: RSE Early Startup and initialization behavior was improved. New API was added
- for clients to register initialization handlers, or to query when initialization is
- complete

- The optional terminal input line is now resizeable
+ [196447].
+- Performance: Fewer plugins are now activated when RSE starts up, because the
+ code that loads UI Adapters for the core services being used now loads those
+ adapters more lazily. For some extenders of RSE, this might mean that they need
+ to manually provide for loading their adapters when needed. For details, see the
+ final comments on bug
+ [218304].
+- API: Streamed remote shell and Terminal access is now supported by API.
+
IAdaptable is used to convert the old API into the new one. This
+ will enable RSE Terminal integrations, and provide better performance and
+ consumability. At the same time, the RSE Services was cleaned up and made
+ implement IAdaptable in general
+ [170910]
+ [226262].
+- API: RSE Early Startup and initialization behavior was improved. The
+
org.eclipse.rse.core.modelInitializers
+ extension point was added for clients to register code that needs to be executed
+ when the RSE Model is initialized. For clients, new API was added to
+ RSECorePlugin
+ in order to
+ query
+ when initialization is complete, or to
+ wait
+ until initialization completes a given phase, or to get
+ notified
+ when initialization passes a given phase

+ [224313].
+API: Added API to support running the dstore server in multi-threaded mode,
+ where many clients can share a single remote process to save resources

+- RSE UI Adapter Loading has been made more lazy. This means, that contributors
+ of RSE subsystems, which provide core services and UI adapters in separate plugins, may

+- Several SystemMessages and Shared Resource Strings have been moved to different packages in order
+ to allow better integration with other Eclipse projects and better UI/Non-UI splitting.

SimpleSystemMessage class has been added to create System Messages out

AbstractService

+- ISystemNewConnectionWizardPage was moved from Core to non-UI, and replaced
