EGit/New and Noteworthy/6.0

EGit

Prerequisites

EGit 6.0 requires Java 11 to run. Previous versions required a minimum of Java 1.8.

The minimum Eclipse platform for EGit 6.0 is Eclipse 2020-09 (4.17). While previous versions could be installed on any Eclipse since Neon.3, EGit 6.0 will not install on Eclipse platforms older than Eclipse 2020-09. (Eclipse 2020-09 was the first Eclipse version that also required Java 11 to run.)

The last EGit version that uses Java 1.8 and that can be installed on Eclipse platforms as old as Neon.3 was EGit 5.13. There will be no new features in the EGit 5.x series.
