| − | == APIs ==
| + | |
| − | We certify that the public Scout APIs in this release are production quality.
| + | |
| − | As a significant amount of commercial customer applications are based on these APIs we evaluate/communicate changes accordingly.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Compatibility with Previous Releases ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Scout 8.0 ist not compatible with Scout 7.0 without migration.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | We try to make migration to new releases as easy as possible, however to keep our code clean and simple we need to change the API in new releases. There are no more API changes after milestone M6. API Compatibility rules are described in the [[Scout/Contribution_Guidelines|contribution guidelines]] in more detail.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To migrate from 7.0 to 8.0 please follow the instructions in the [http://eclipsescout.github.io/8.0/migration-guide.html Migration Guide].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == End-of-Life ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''TO VERIFY'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | With Scout release 8.0 the Java 7 support reaches end-of-life.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Ramp down Policy ==
| + | |
| − | We use daily builds. No API changes after M6, no new features after M7. In the RC phase only bugs marked P2 or higher or severity major or higher will be fixed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Target Environment ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === JRE ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | All of Eclipse Scout is "pure" Java code and has no direct dependence on the underlying operating system. The chief dependence is therefore on the Java Runtime (JRE) itself.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Scout 8.0 runtime no longer supports Java 7 and '''requires a Java 8 runtime''' (See: [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=521805 Bugzilla], [https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1088906/ Forum]).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The [http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Eclipse Scout SDK package] already only runs with Java >=8 [https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation/Java8Required since the Neon release].

| − | The supported browsers are listed in the [https://eclipsescout.github.io/7.1/technical-guide.html#browser-support Scout documentation].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Tested Platforms ===
| + | |
| − | We focus our testing on a handful of popular combinations (OS, HW Arch, Java VM, Eclipse platform); these are our reference platforms.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Scout undoubtedly runs fine in many operating environments beyond the reference platforms we test. However, since we do not systematically test them we cannot vouch for them. Problems encountered when running Scout on a non-reference platform that cannot be recreated on any reference platform will be given lower priority than problems with running Scout on a reference platform.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Scout 8.0 will be tested and validated on the following reference platforms:

| − | Eclipse Scout is no longer explicitly tested on 32bit architectures.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Build Process ==
| + | |
| − | Scout is built on [https://hudson.eclipse.org/scout/ Jenkins @ Eclipse].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Scout is using maven and tycho for building.
| + | |
| − | * Gerrit Jobs run build against lowest target platform with runtime unit tests
| + | |
| − | * Nightly Jobs run against all platforms with all unit tests
| + | |
| − | * Release Jobs can be parameterized for a specific tag and deploy to a specific updatesite
| + | |
| − | * Some tests currently still run only at BSI's infrastructure: Scout GUI tests using java.awt.Robot, because they need a fully-fledged desktop environment.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Scout Maven Artifacts uploaded to [http://repo.eclipse.org repo.eclipse.org] and [http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.eclipse.scout.rt%22 maven central].
