Release:
2.2.0
Description:
As in most of the last releases most work has happened in the runtime space (~80 bugzilla entries solved) with new exiciting features developed
- Support for Maximizing e4 elements (as of today only MPartStacks are supported)
- Support for DS-component.xml in a plain Java environment
- Move Text-Editing API forward
- Declarative configuration of Text-Editor framework with JSON instead of a DSL
At the tooling space (~15 bugzilla entries solved) there've been major new features for
- l10n DSL who supports now embedding other bundles directly to inherit all properties
- gmod DSL who supports serialization/deserialization of object graphs with gson
API Certification:
The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".
Non-Code Aspects:
All documentation is maintained at our wiki and kept in sync with the API.
Communities:
Our central components of interaction are:
- Bugzilla to collect feature requests, bug reports
- Gerrit to track contributions
- The newsgroup to provide support (in total 181 messages since 2.1.0)
We've been receiving remarkable contributions in this release (eg the min/max feature was contributed from an external developer)
