<p><b>Updating</b>:&nbsp; If using a version prior to 2.0, upgrade to 2.0
before installing Mylyn 2.3.</p>
<!--
<p><b>Update Notes</b> <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - We recommend using the Eclipse 3.3M7 release due to the
numerous UI improvements (see Eclipse 3.3 only items below).<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - 2.0M2 and later releases will reset your task activity
timings (Mylyn now uses a new and much more robust timing mechanism).<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - The offline task data cache will be reset, so submit outgoing changes before
updating.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - If upgrading from a 0.x version, first update to Mylyn 1.0
and see the corresponding <a href="http://eclipse.org/mylyn/doc/new-1.0.html">
update notes</a>.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - Trac xml-rpc users: you will
<a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn_FAQ#Trac_Connector">need the
latest</a> XmlRpcPlugin.<br>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Mylar -&gt; Mylyn Migration</b></p>
<ul>
<li>No uninstall necessary during the update, the old plug-ins will
automatically be disabled.</li>
<li>Can delete all old plug-ins/features either manually or via the Update
Manager.</li>
<li>All Mylyn preferences will need to be reset.&nbsp; If you set a custom
data directory this will need to be reset on start.</li>
<li>Project to Task Repository associations will need to be reset.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>UI Cleanup</b></p>
<p>The following things have moved into the Sandbox either because they are not
at the 2.0 quality level or because they are experimental features.</p>
<ul>
<li>Pause Context Capture</li>
<li>Active Task on open</li>
<li>Synchronize view style overlays</li>
<li>Task Activity report</li>
<li>Legend moved to view menu</li>

<p align="right"><b>Task Scheduling Streamlining</b></p>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="70%">
<p align="left">The task scheduling facility has a subtle but
fundamental improvement in order to prevent the &quot;red Monday&quot;
phenomenon where large portions of the Task List would turn red, and
during busy times would stay that way.&nbsp; In order to address
this, we have clarified and simplified the split between the two kinds of dates
supported:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left"><i>Scheduled Dates</i>: these are soft dates at a day
level of granularity with no notion of&nbsp; becoming overdue.&nbsp; A task
scheduled for <i>Today</i> will show up blue will continue
to be blue tomorrow if not done today.&nbsp;</p></li>
<li>
<p align="left"><i>Due Dates</i>: these are hard dates with a time and
date level of granularity.&nbsp; A task that has a due date set&nbsp;has
a clock appear in it's upper-left corner and will turn red when
past that date.</p></li>
</ul>
<p align="left">
To facilitate managing the tasks that you want to see when focused
but that you do not correspond to a specific day, you can
now schedule a task for &quot;someday this week&quot; by selecting <i>This
Week</i> in the <i>Schedule for</i> menu.&nbsp; This task will stay
visible for the current week and will continue to be visible in
future weeks.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<img border="0" src="images/2.3/tasklist-scheduling.png"><p class="MsoPlainText">
The most noticeable difference in this release is that tasks that are past their
<i>Scheduled Date</i> will no longer turn red. This change can be reverted to the old scheme via <i>Window -&gt;
Preferences -&gt; General -&gt; Appearance -&gt; Colors and Fonts</i> or via
the Mylyn UI Overview visible from the <i>Task List</i> menu.
However, we recommend using new scheme because it reduces the amount
of visual noise and makes overdue tasks stand out. Note that for
repository tasks, <i>Due
Dates</i> need to be supported by the server (e.g. for Bugzilla the Time Tracking feature must be enabled on the server).<p class="MsoPlainText">

If you notice a large number of tasks in an<i> Unmatched</i>
container, you have the following options:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left">Update your queries so that the unmatched tasks
are matched by a query.&nbsp; For example, if querying per

don't drop into the <i>Unmatched</i> container.</p></li>

repository task, use <i>Task Editor -&gt; Attachments -&gt; Attach File...
</i>and choose <i>Screenshot</i> as the attachment source.&nbsp;
You can then use the <i>Capture</i> button one or more times in
order to grab your entire desktop.&nbsp; In order to only submit a
part of the desktop, create a crop rectangle by dragging the mouse,
then submit the screenshot.&nbsp; Use the<i> Fit image </i>button in

Screenshots are attached in the JPEG format.</p>
