| − | * CDT 8.5 (Luna SR1)
| + | |
| − | RC1+1 Aug 18th 2014 Proposed feature freeze and branch point
| + | |
| − | RC2+1 Sept 1st 2014 Proposed joint test effort
| + | |
| − | RC3+1 Sept 8th 2014
| + | |
| − | RC4+1 Sept 15th 2014
| + | |
| − | Release Sept 26th 2014
| + | |
| − | * Content will be small but that is expected as SR1 has barely 2 months of development time.
| + | |
| − | * Marc K will email the list to propose the above release process: see email [https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg28003.html here]
| + | |
| − | * CDT 8.6 (Luna SR2)
| + | |
| − | RC1+1 Jan 19th 2015
| + | |
| − | RC2+1 Feb 2nd 2015
| + | |
| − | RC3+1 Feb 9th 2105
| + | |
| − | RC4+1 Feb 16th 2015
| + | |
| − | Release Feb 27th 2015
| + | |
| − | * CDT Logo: Plan is to use http://99designs.ca/ or https://www.designonclick.com/. Doug will take care of it and the Eclipse Foundation will finance it.
| + | |
| − | * Using target definitions does not always refresh.
| + | |
| − | ** Target definitions were updated recently to include mockito but it does not seem to work.
| + | |
| − | ** There is a bug in PDE that does not refresh the target def properly.
| + | |
| − | ** Workaround is to open the target def file in an editor and change its version at the top then save. Once refreshed, the version can be reverted.
| + | |
| − | * How should target defs be updated?
| + | |
| − | ** How to use the 'staging' target def vs the others?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * New UI
| + | |
| − | ** Progress seems to have stopped. Priorities might have shifted at Mentor.
| + | |
| − | ** Why not post the existing code in the hopes it could progress through other community members?
| + | |
| − | * [http://eclip.se/235747 Register grouping]
| + | |
| − | ** Next round of review completed
| + | |
| − | ** Targetted for CDT 8.6
| + | |
| − | * [http://eclip.se/439624 Per-element formatting for expressions and variables]
| + | |
| − | ** Feature is ready to be committed except for the refreshing issue when dealing with multiple sessions
| + | |
| − | ** Improvements mentioned by Mikhail (Marc K will open a bug: [http://eclip.se/441276 Bug 441276]):
| + | |
| − | *** Setting format should affect all children, probably not for complex structs but would be great for arrays
| + | |
| − | *** Should persistence be per-launch?
| + | |
| − | *** As was first experienced with CDI, some case for this feature are quite complicated. We propose to implement feature in a reasonable way so as to add value, but not to necessarily address each corner case; as long as it does not break normal behavior.
| + | |
| − | * Example plugin showing how to extend DSF-GDB
| + | |
| − | ** DSF-GDB was originally meant to be and example of how to use DSF. It has grown to be extended itself but does not provide an example of how to extend it.
| + | |
| − | ** Marc K will open a bug to track progress, suggestions and discussions
| + | |
| − | ** How to extend the view model elegantly? Does not seem to be a good way. Currently requires a lot of code duplication. We would like to improve that.
| + | |
| − | * Suggestion to support a Snapshot feature ''a la'' EDC.
| + | |
| − | ** Idea would be to be able to save a snapshot during a debug session and send it to someone else to examine.
| + | |
| − | ** Could be implemented relatively easily using core files as snapshots

| − | === Minutes ===
| |
| − | * Luna release
| |
| − | ** Coordinated testing was valuable and helped find bugs that would have gone unnoticed

| |
| − | ** Nightly job to run tests using GDB built from its own master branch and another for GDB's maintenance branch. This allows us to notify the GDB community of regressions that affect CDT before the GDB is released.
| |
| − |

| |
| − | ** Patch available to add a clone button to visualizer. Waiting for review.

| |
| − | ** Pin will be worked on to provide even better value for multiple visualizer views
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Stand-alone
| |
| − | ** -help now supported

| − | *** patch posted in bugzilla but will be posted to Gerrit | + | ** We discussed and approved only supporting GDB 7.1 and higher |
| − | *** do we need the first proposal too? It's value is to set a default type. Let's focus on first contribution and then discuss the original one.
