<h1>Target Management 3.3 - New and Noteworthy</h1>

release has been on solidifying and hardening existing functionality,
so there are not too many new features to mention. Still, here are
some of the more noteworthy things you'll find in TM 3.3 (June 22, 2011)
which is now available for <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/tm/downloads/index.php" target="_top">download</a>.
See the <a href="readme_tm_3.3.html">TM 3.3 release notes</a> for details
on bugs fixed, known issues, noteworthy new API and other changes.</p>
