| <p>Before ECF 0.7.6 stable it was necessary for clients that created <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/org.eclipse.ecf.docs/api/org/eclipse/ecf/core/IContainer.html">IContainer</a> instances |
| (via <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/org.eclipse.ecf.docs/api/org/eclipse/ecf/core/ContainerFactory.html">ContainerFactory</a>), to call |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/org.eclipse.ecf.docs/api/org/eclipse/ecf/core/IContainer.html#dispose()">IContainer.dispose()</a> on their own when finished using |
| the IContainer. Now, however, ECF will call dispose() on all IContainer instances created via the ECF ContainerFactory to reclaim any system resources |
| used by the IContainer instance. Clients do not need to call IContainer.dispose() on any IContainer instances that they create via the ECF ContainerFactory. |
| Only if IContainer instances are created via some other means (e.g. directly via constructor), are clients then responsible for calling dispose()</p> |

| <p><br></p> |
| <p>The ECF core plugin (org.eclipse.ecf) has been made fully dynamic aware. |
| As plugins that extend ECF extension points are installed and uninstalled, the ECF extension |
| caches are automatically updated. So, for example, for the ECF container factory extension point, as extension plugins are |
| added the ECF ContainerFactory will automatically expose to clients the ability to create new types of IContainer instances.</p> |
