Eclipse Layout Kernel 0.1.0
Primary tabs
Release Date:
Friday, July 8, 2016
Deliverables:
The release consists of ELK features bundled in an update site (p2 repository and zip file for offline use). The update site contains two sets of features:
- Runtime library for end users.
- SDK feature for developers.
Compatibility:
This release is not compatible with previous versions of the project released when it was not part of Eclipse yet. There have been considerable architectural changes. After this release, another change will be implemented concerning the central graph data structure, breaking compatibility to the next release as well.
Internationalization:
This release is not completely localizable. Many UI strings have been externalized, but not all. No other languages other than English are provided.
Target Environments:
ELK uses Java 1.8 features. Other than that, it can run wherever Eclipse runs.
Themes:
Adapt to Eclipse
The first major theme of this release concerns the renaming efforts necessary to become an Eclipse project.
Refactoring
The second major theme concerns the refactoring of the core API. The whole architecture was simplified.
