Orion/API Changelog

This page lists breaking changes that may impact consumers of Orion. It is maintained on a best-effort basis, and should not be taken as an exhaustive list.


Orion 9.0

Editor

  • bug 461222: The HTML and CSS content assist providers no longer ship compiled into built-editor.js and built-editor.min.js. This was done to reduce download size. The caller is now responsible for loading their desired content assist provider(s) and registering them with the editor.

Server

  • bug 461739: npm commands have been removed from the Orion Shell page. The org.eclipse.orion.server.npm bundle, which implemented the servlet that provided these commands, has been removed.

Orion 8.0

Internationalization (i18n)

  • The orion.i18n.message service has been removed.
  • Translation is no longer provided through the plugin registry. Message bundles cannot be installed at runtime by the user.
  • Any nls properties on services registered with a PluginProvider are ignored. Other NLS-related properties, such as nameKey, descriptionKey, etc, are also ignored.
  • Plugins are expected to perform translation themselves, using any appropriate strategy (such as RequireJS's 18n plugin, for example). Any user-facing labels or strings returned by services (such as validation error messages, or command labels) are now expected to be translated into the user's locale if possible. The Orion UI framework will no longer load message bundles nor look up strings on behalf of a plugin.


Node.js server

  • bug 427399: On the Orion Node.js server, the navigation menu no longer links to the Orion Shell page. Instead, a link is shown to the Terminal page, which provides access to a native PTY through a web shell.
    • The Terminal page is currently not supported for Node.js servers running on Windows.
