	<release_deliverables>
        <html:div>An EMF Diff/Merge deliverable contains a diff/merge engine and a sample GUI. The release deliverables have the same form as is found in most Eclipse projects:
            <html:ul>
                <html:li>An update site providing access to all the plug-ins, sources and documentation;</html:li>
                <html:li>A downloadable archive of this update site.</html:li>
            </html:ul>

                        <html:li>Robustness and performance. Although the tool has been extensively used in certain usage scenarios (versioning, model refactoring), experiments in different scenarios are expected to lead to improvements and fixes.</html:li>
                        <html:li>GUI integrability. A few experiments have been made where EMF Diff/Merge GUI elements are integrated into a third-party application. The GUI code can be improved so that integration be simpler.</html:li>
                        <html:li>Openness. EMF Diff/Merge currently has its own relation-style difference model. Integration into, e.g., existing model repositories requires the ability to deal with third-party, action-style difference models.</html:li>
