<li><b>The experimental EFS Feature has been made official</b>, and functionality moved
into RSE Core. Thus EFS support is no separate download any more but comes with RSE.
EFS works best with SSH connections. FTP and dstore should work as well, but have not yet
received the same amount of testing. For more details, see the
<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=170916">EFS Plan Item [170916]</a>.
To bring remote resources into your workspace, there are several options:<ol>
<li>In a normal workspace project, choose <b>"New Folder", "Advanced", "Link to folder in
file system"</b>, then select the RSE file system and browse to a remote folder. This is
the preferred and most stable method of working with remote resources for now.
One big advantage of this approach is that it works for any kind of project nature,
including CDT, JDT etc. and can thus be used very well to test other kinds of
EFS integration issues to be done (along the lines of Eclipse Platform
<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=154126">Plan Item [154126]</a>).</li>
<li>Create a new project, on the location page disable "workspace", choose "rse" as file
system and browse to a remote folder. Works only if a .project file does not yet exist
at the chosen remote location. One disadvantage of this approach is that when
quitting and re-starting workbench, the project will be shown closed. You need to switch
to the RSE perspective, then open the project on each re-start of Eclipse. This will
be fixed by bug [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=181460">181460</a>].</li>
<li>In RSE, browse to any remote folder and choose "right-click" > "Create Remote Project".
This will create an EFS based "plain" project with the name of the remote folder in
your workspace. It will have no specific nature assigned, and creation may fail (e.g
when a .project file is already there; or a project of the requested name already exists).
This 3rd approach of creating an EFS project exists for convenience for now, and may be removed
in the future.</li>
</ol></li>
<li><b>Copy&Paste, Drag&Drop to Project Explorer</b> are finally fixed
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=153652">153652</a>].
Same support for Windows Explorer is still on the list
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=181458">181458</a>].</li>
<li>Lots of <b>Improved API and Flexibility</b> especially for system types, action contributions,
dynamic system types and the New Connection Wizard. See below for details on breaking API
changes. As part of the improved New Connection Wizard,
the <b>Default System Type Preference has been removed</b>
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=164413">164413</a>].</li>
<li><b>Apache Commons.Net and ORO</b> are now distributed as single-jar bundles. The separate commons.net and ORO features
have been removed. The bundles are now directly included in the RSE FTP feature only.</li>
<li><b>SystemRemoteResourceDialog.setPreSelection()</b> now works correctly [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174944">174944</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
change the API for TM 2.0 in a not backward compatible way.<br/>
All such API changes are voted on
by committers on the <a href="https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/dsdp-tm-dev">
<p>As of TM 2.0 M6, most of this work has been completed, and the list of breaking
API changes is found below with migration info. But although we had planned for
API freeze with M6, there are still few more cleanup changes that we would like
to take the opportunity and bring into TM 2.0. Most of these will be made shortly
after M6, or they will be introduced in a backward compatible manner.
At any rate, we will avoid breaking API changes after M7, or the earlierst
possible integration build up to M7. But please be prepared for future changes,
and especially take care of API marked as <b>@deprecated</b> in the Javadoc.
Such API is prime candidate to be removed for TM 2.0.</p>

<li>TM 2.0M6 API Changes
<ul>
<li><b>Making more classes "internal"</b>: Lots of more packages and classes were tagged as
discouraged access (moved to "internal").
For migration, just "Organize Imports" and search for alternative ways of doing things
in case you end up with imports from "internal" packages.
For details, see [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=170922">170922</a>].</li>
<li><b>Refactored IConnectorService</b> and moved to Core for beter UI / Non-UI separation.
Most notably, the concept of a CredentialsProvider was added.
That work is not quite complete yet, but the bulk of the work has been done. For detailed
migration info, see [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168977">168977</a>].</li>
<li><b>Renamed getAdapter(Object) -&gt; getViewAdapter(Object)</b> on several classes.
For migration, same renaming may need to be done in client code.
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175150">175150</a>].</li>
<li><b>Dont implement constant interfaces</b> just to bring constants into namespace.
As an effect of this, some classes that clients can derive from do not "see" some constants any more. For
migration, these constants will need to be qualified with the interface that they come from.
For details, see
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=180562">180562</a>].</li>
<li><b>Streams are now part of IFileService and IRemoteFileSubSystem</b>. Supporting Streams was
important for the EFS integration and is a more modern and flexible way to download and upload.
Thus Streams are now mandatory, and extenders must ensure that they implement getInputStream()
and getOutputStrem() properly in their own file services and subsystems.

<li><b>IHost.getSystemType() now returns an IRSESystemType</b> instead of a String.
More similar changes will follow, in order to move from system type Strings to
IDs and translatable / externalizable labels. For migration, client code can
replace <tt>getSystemType()</tt> by <tt>getSystemType().getName()</tt>.
