All existing Orion plugins created prior to 3.0 are still compatible with this release. The plugin and service registry has been submitted as a specification within the OSGi community. If substantial changes occur there, it may impact compatibility in the future however these changes wil be well documented along with how to modify existing code to the changes.
Orion supports i18N capabilities in the UI and in the Editor. During the 3.0 release cycle, it was tested by an IBM Global Verification Team (GVT), defects were entered and fixed during the release. Orion also provides an i18N message catalog tool to assist with identifying Strings and placing them in message catalogs for translation. Orion currently is only deployed with English translations. There is still editor work to be done for full Bidi support. Bidi is supported however there is some functionality still missing.
Orion has two platforms to consider during a release. One is the supported Server configurations, and the second is the supported Client Browsers.
