| <td class="content"> |
| IContentAssistProcessor has a new extension interface IContentAssistProcessorExtension that allows to get context information for activation computation: |
| <ul> |
| <li><i>IContentAssistProcessorExtension.isCompletionProposalAutoActivation(char, ITextViewer, int)</i></li> |
| <li><i>IContentAssistProcessorExtension.isContextInformationAutoActivation(char, ITextViewer, int)</i></li> |

| <td class="title">Atomic IMarker creation API with attributes in IResource</td> |
| <td class="content"> |
| The <code>IResource.createMarker(type, attribute)</code> API has been created to allow atomic creation of markers. |
| Using this new API should be preferred, as this reduces the resource change notifications and is in general 2x faster as two separate calls to create marker and set attributes on it. |

| <td class="content"> |
| The <code>IncrementalProjectBuilder</code> API can optionally be extended by clients implementing the new <code>IIncrementalProjectBuilder2</code> interface that provides |
| a new <code>clean(Map<String, String>, IProgressMonitor)</code> method that will be called instead of the existing <code>clean(IProgressMonitor)</code>. |
| The new <code>clean</code> method passes the map of arguments from <code>IWorkspace.build()</code> or <code>IProject.build()</code> to the client for <code>clean</code> in the same way that it is done for the |
| <code>build</code> method. |

| <td class="content"> |
| New <code>org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Resource.setNonDisposeHandler</code> API |
| is added which allows to track not properly disposed SWT resources. |
| This API accepts a custom <code>Consumer<Error></code> callback to |
| receive detected errors. |
| <p> |
| Alternatively, <code>"org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Resource.reportNonDisposed"</code> |
| system property can be set to <code>true</code>. In this case, SWT will report |
| these errors to <code>stderr</code> without the need to modify application's |
| code. |

| <td class="content"> |
| As the usage of the com.ibm.icu plug-in is planned to be removed from the platform it has been removed from the org.eclipse.e4.rcp feature as e4 RCP applications do not require it since the 4.18 release. |
| It has been added to the org.eclipse.rcp features for now to ensure e3 applications which may use it and the Eclipse IDE to work correctly. |
| If you e4 RCP application uses it, you can include it in your custom feature. |

| <td class="content"> |
| Developers can now specify the maximum size of the SWT shell. The shell will not be resizable to a larger width or height than specified. |
| <ul> |
| <li>Use <i>setMaximumSize(width, height)</i> or <i>setMaximumSize(point)</i> to specify a maximum size for your shell. The shell will be resized if it's currently larger than the specified size.</li> |
| <li>Use <i>getMaximumSize()</i> to query the currently set maximum size.</li> |
