| <h2>1. <a name="doNotCheckExistence">New member flag IContainer#DO_NOT_CHECK_EXISTENCE</a></h2> |
| <p> |
| The new flag may be used in:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>IResource#accept(IResourceProxyVisitor, int)</li> |
| <li>IResource#accept(IResourceVisitor, int, int)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>to indicate whether the resource should be checked for existence. If the flag is not |
| specified (recommended) and the resource does not exist, CoreException will be thrown. |
| Children of the resource are never checked for existence.</p> |

| <h2>2. <a name="largeIcon">Large icons in product branding</a></h2> |
| <p> |
| The Eclipse executable on Windows now includes a larger 256x256 icon image. If you are using a PDE product build |
| or the p2 publisher to apply branding for your own product, you will now need to include a 256x256 image in the .ico |
| file you specify for your product or build. Note that the p2 branding tool does not support compressed PNG images, |
| so currently all of your branding images must be uncompressed bitmaps. |
