Release

0.1

Description

The first release of Handly at Eclipse is primarily focused on taking a stable code contribution from 1C LLC and releasing it from Eclipse. This release will be the basis for introducing Handly to the open source community.

Architectural Issues

There is no declared API in this release as both the API and the API policy may still evolve. Separation between API and internal code does exist. Documentation is improving.

Non-Code Aspects

This release brings Handly a fully functional PMI-based website [1], automated CBI-based build [2], an architectural overview [3], the contributor guide [4], and committer FAQ [5]. As well, a basic exemplary implementation is provided in Handly Examples.

Communities

Talk at XtextCON on May 27, 2014 [1]. All discussion happens on open channels of developer mailing list [2], adopter forum [3] and bugzilla [4]. The project lead's blog posts on topics surrounding Handly [5] are syndicated to Planet Eclipse.

Looking for community feedback and an initial adopter at Eclipse.
