| <p><b>Current status</b></p> |
| <p><em>July 12, 2004</em></p> |
| <p>3.0 was released on June 26. The encoding story was changed since 3.0 |
| M8 to allow setting the encoding for an individual resource. In the end |
| of the 3.0 cycle, a highly demanded feature was that resource change events |
| were issued when the encoding for files changed (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59899">59899</a>, |
| planned for 3.0.1). There is <a href="../../documents/plan_encoding_events.html">ongoing |
| work</a> on investigating how such feature can be provided. </p> |
| <p><em>February 23, 2004</em></p> |
| <p>A new version for the proposal has been released. Major changes include |
| the removal of support for setting the encoding for a specific file, folder-level |
| default encodings and encoding-change events. Part of the API proposed has |
| been released as part of the 3.0 M7 milestone build. There is ongoing work |
| on support from Runtime to determine the encoding for arbitrary input streams.</p> |
| <p><em>June 10, 2003</em></p> |
| <p><a href="../../documents/old_plan_encoding_intro.html">Original</a> proposal was made available. </p> |
| <p>Gathering feedback from the community.</p> |
