Compatibility:
The GEF4 1.0.0 components include various incompatible changes compared to the GEF4 0.2.0 (Mars.1) release, as laid out in detail in GEF/New and Noteworthy/4.0.
Draw2d 3.11.0, GEF (MVC) 3.11.0, and Zest 1.7.0 are binary compatible with the previous 3.10.1 (Mars.1) release, all API remains unchanged.
Internationalization:
Draw2d 3.10.100, GEF (MVC) 3.11.0, and Zest 1.7.0 consistently externalize all strings for internationalization. The GEF4 components do only partly externalize strings for internationalization.
Target Environments:
The components provided within this release are designed for the following Java target environment:
- GEF4 Common - JavaSE-1.7
- GEF4 Geometry - JavaSE-1.7
- GEF4 Graph - J2SE-1.7
- GEF4 Layout - J2SE-1.7
- GEF4 DOT - JavaSE-1.7
- GEF4 FX - JavaSE-1.7
- GEF4 MVC - JavaSE-1.7
- GEF4 Zest - JavaSE-1.7
- GEF4 Cloudio - JavaSE-1.7
- Draw2d - J2SE-1.4
- GEF (MVC) - J2SE-1.4
- Zest - J2SE-1.4
All GEF4 components are developed to be backwards compatible with Eclipse Luna and Mars, as this is the first official major release of those components (and adopters may still be bound to Luna or Mars).
Testing is performed with J2SE 1.7 and 1.8 on Eclipse Luna, Eclipse Mars, and Eclipse Neon respectively.
