| <p><b>Updating</b>: If using a version prior to 2.0, must upgrade to 2.0 |
| before installing Mylyn 2.2.</p> |
| |
| <!-- |
| |
| <p><b>Update Notes</b> <br> |
| - We recommend using the Eclipse 3.3M7 release due to the |
| numerous UI improvements (see Eclipse 3.3 only items below).<br> |
| - 2.0M2 and later releases will reset your task activity |
| timings (Mylyn now uses a new and much more robust timing mechanism).<br> |
| - The offline task data cache will be reset, so submit outgoing changes before |
| updating.<br> |
| - 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> |
| - Trac xml-rpc users: you will |
| <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn_FAQ#Trac_Connector">need the |
| latest</a> XmlRpcPlugin.<br> </p> |
| |
| <p><b>Mylar -> 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. 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>XPlanner:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The XPlanner connector now allows using Mylyn's automatic |
| time tracking to be incorporated in the actual time setting for |
| an XPlanner task. The XPlanner Task editor actions section has a |
| checkbox that allows the user to turn automatic time tracking on |
| or off (default is off). There are also options for allowing the |
| automatically tracked time to be added to or replace the current |
| actual time (default is adding -- actual update is done when the |
| Submit button is pressed), and rounding the automatically |
| tracked time to the nearest half hour (default is to round). The |
| user still has the option of putting in actual time manually, |
| however, if automatic actual time tracking is enabled, the last |
| entered user value will be overridden with the latest tracked |
| time.<br> |

| </i>and choose <i>Screenshot</i> as the attachment source. |
| You can then use the <i>Capture</i> button one or more times in |
| order to grab your entire desktop. In order to only submit a |
| part of the desktop, create a crop rectangle by dragging the mouse, |

| disabling all editor management (which restores |
