Ramp Down Plan

• TM 2.0 Ramp down Plan for Europa, based on Europa Simultaneous Release#Milestones and Release Candidates
  • RC1 -- Fri May 25 (5 work days) -- May 30: Release Review Slide Decks due
  • RC2 -- Tue Jun 5 (6 work days)
  • RC3 -- Thu Jun 14 (7 work days; Martin vacation 12-Jun til 21-Jun!)
  • RC4 -- Thu Jun 21 (5 work days)
  • EUROPA -- Jun 29
• 1-committer-review recommended for RC1, required afterwards.
• If there are any risky fixes, make them as early as possible, less risky fixes later
• Reviewing assigned bugs regarding priority and potential to defer past 2.0: Individual committers, DaveD+Martin, or Martin alone?
• Avoid breaking API changes from now on (though we can still break API if absolutely necessary)

Bugs and open work to be discussed

• Current Priorities: Fix bugs by Priority
  • Javier: Some FTP related bugs; What else are you comfortable? User docs and ISV docs for Discovery?
  • DaveD: Translation / Menmonics stuff, 187647 Persistence in Metadata
    • 153632 incorrect filterpool for dstore - are we really converging to a single filter pool?
  • DaveM: Refresh related bugs; single filter pool?
  • Martin: Need to bring Releng scripts up to latest for Orbit; Review and release Telnet fixes; 172650 Capabilities; 176461 expand-to-level; 186315 EFS problematic URIs;
    • 170910 Integrate Terminalview -- OK to defer past 2.0?
    • Would like to Rename org.eclipse.rse.eclipse.filesystem to org.eclipse.rse.efs -- OK?
    • API: Would like to add some "throws" clauses to ISystemRegistry and others to ensure that nobody expects it to show messages (necessary when it is to go into non-UI in the future) -- OK?
    • EFS: Copy(), Move(); minimal plugin activations; UI/Non-UI
  • Kushal: Single "Encoding" control on the Host (for all subsystems)
• Bugzilla: Severity Major, hi-priority

Plan for the TM Future

Here's a rough outline as a discussion start

• TM 2.0.1 with Europa (in autumn) or slightly earlier
  • Work on unittests, isv docs over the summer in HEAD
  • Fork off from mainline in autumn
• Will the next TM release be TM 2.1 or TM 3.0?
  • We'd probably need 3.0 for further UI/Non-UI, API Polish, finalizing terminal API
  • What about IBM/Symbian/WR requirements?
  • We could shoot for a 3.0 but strive to keep API changes small and potentially have a compatibility plugin
  • Add in next release:
    • User actions, Launch Actions, VLM Lab Manager, IPxAct data, Connection Groups
  • Integrate in next release:
    • WebDAV, Team Sync, Wicked Shell, JArchive
  • Potentially move to Platform + 0 level --> move CDT Launcher to CDT Project

Vacation, Away

• DaveD travelling this week, but that shouldn't affect anything
• Monday May 28 - Pentecost Monday in Austria, Memorial Day in US (public holiday)
