 Other highlights</h2>

 <ul>
 <li>
 An BasicTextEditorActionContributor now contributes three status fields
 into the window's status line. Each field is dedicated to show information
 of a particular category. The categories are defined in ITextEditorActionConstants.
 A new interface ITextEditorExtension has been introduced. On activation,
 implementing editors of this interface are informed about the status fields
 they can use to publish status information. AbstractTextEditor implements
 ITextEditorExtension. Subclasses of AbstractTextEditor can get access to
 the editor's current status fields using the method getStatusField(String
 category). By default, AbstractTextEditor publishes the following information:
 cursor position, input mode, reade only state of its input. Subclasses
 may change this behavior by overriding updateStatusField(String category)
 or callers of this method.</li>

 <li>
 The default text editor uses the feature described above and now provides
 status information.</li>
 </ul>

 <br>&nbsp; interface:&nbsp;&nbsp; IHoverInfoPresenter
 <br>&nbsp; change:&nbsp;&nbsp; removed interface
 <br>&nbsp; change type: breaking API change for implementers of IHoverInfoPresenter
 <h2>
 Other highlights</h2>
 For more information about the following issue please see JavaDoc of the
 classes
 <ul>
 <li>
 Complete rework of hover popups (previously a package private mechanism
 hidden from clients). There is now the concept of an IInformationControl
 and an IInformationControlCreator. Everywhere where floating windows are
 used to present some kind of information, now IInformationControl is used.
 More precise, the according component is equiped with an IInformationControlCreator
 and creates the IInformationControl instance when needed. So clients can
 set an IInformationControlCreator on a TextViewer and a SourceViewer. They&nbsp;
 use it&nbsp; to create the text hover window and the annotation bar hover
 window respectively. DefaultInformationControl&nbsp; is a StyledText-based
 default implementation of IInformationControl. Clients may implement IInformationControl
 directly and inject their custom information control creator.</li>

 <li>
 AbstractInformationControlManager and its subclasses abstractly&nbsp; implement
 the process of providing a SWT control with support for floating information
 windows. This covers layout, positioning, content, and visibility of the
 floating window. They offer a broad customization space such as layout
 strategies, colors, etc.</li>

 <li>
 TextViewer hovers, annotation bar hovers, additional info on completion
 proposals in the content assistant, etc. benefit from the new infrastructure.
 UI improvements are especially visible in the layout behavior.</li>

 <li>
 Introduced the concept of an information presenter. An information presenter
 shows information on a context derivved subject on request. See IInformationPresenter
 for details as well as SourceViewer and SourceViewerConfiguration for how
 to use it.</li>
 </ul>
