3.2.0
The 3.2.0 release of Linux Tools is a minor release which will be contributed as part of Luna SR2. The Linux Tools project normally offers minor releases in the SR1 and SR2 release periods. This minor release contains a number of bug-fixes and a few enhancements such as: modifications to support gcov/gprof under Windows, support for profiling projects with linked files, and a number of LTTng additions.
The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".
Ongoing work to integrate with tracing and profiling toolkits will enable us to have more extensible frameworks with exemplary implementations.
Despite being user-focused, we have a few components which provide extension points:
our profiling tool framework whose use is demonstrated by all of our profiling integration plug-ins: Gcov, Gprof, Perf, OProfile and Valgrind
our ChangeLog plugin which allows for extensible parsers, formatters, and editors. The extensibility of formatters is demonstrated by our RPM .spec editor
our libhover component. This plugin provides an extension point that defines a common documentation format for C library hover help
our LTTng component. This plugin provides an extension point to integrate any type of trace and an extension point for producing UML2 sequence diagrams from traces. Following SR2, our LTTng component will be moving to its own Tracing project.
There are no security issues.
Our project aims to conform to the Eclipse user interface guidelines.
All of our user interface components support keyboard navigation.
We support interactivity of our Valgrind charts and intend on further increasing our accessibility.
All of our strings are externalized but we currently have no language packs
Our strings are registered in Babel for use by translators
We have no end-of-life issues to discuss at this time.

Our project has a strong relationship with the various Linux distributions (Fedora, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu, etc.) with many using our eclipse-build project's output for their Eclipse SDK packages
The majority of our project's interactions occur on IRC (#eclipse-linux) and our mailing list (linuxtools-dev@eclipse.org)
We have a centralized update site and use eclipse.org bugzilla for all of our planning and bug tracking
We make use of our newsgroup for user feedback
Our project members often speak at conferences such as EclipseCon, the Red Hat Summit, etc.
Our team members maintain the following blogs:
