| <p>The overall themes for this release are detailed below:<br> |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li style="font-weight: bold;">Built to last</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Message catalog clean-up</span><br> |
| The CVS message catalogs are a big mess. There are many un-used keys and |
| key names are too long. They need to be cleaned up.<br> |
| </li> |
| <li><span style="font-weight: bold;"><font class="indexsub">[>3.1]</font>CVS |
| Client APIs </span><br> |
| Many plug-in developers are already using internal CVS operations, most |
| of the classes we can make public and then have snippets. We could also |
| provide snippets for using the CVS plug-in.<br> |
| </li> |
| <li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Memory usage of CVS meta information</span><br> |
| The CVS plug-in caches information about resources shared with CVS in memory. |
| The cache is to support responsive decorators and operations. Also, most |
| action enablement is based on this cached information. <br> |
| </li> |
| <li><span style="font-weight: bold;"><img src="../images/ok.gif" height="10" width="10"> |
| </span><span |
| style="font-weight: bold;">Performance tests</span> <br> |
| for CVS for regressions and comparison with command line client.<br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <li style="font-weight: bold;">Simple to use</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li><img src="../images/ok.gif" height="10" width="10"> Commit sets</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li> support for outgoing changes (Bug 23765 The Team:Commit... dialog |
| is modal). This is related to support for change sets, but can be done |
| independently if a generic API is not created for 3.1.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li><img src="../images/ok.gif" height="10" width="10"> Usability with CVS |
| error messages (provide detailed english explanations and workarounds instead |
| of log messages) |
| <ul> |
| <li>also investigate showing the output of the CVS log in the error dialogs.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Ignoring resources made easier. |
| <ul> |
| <li>Many people simply want to say, I don't want this to show up anymore.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li><img src="../images/progress.gif" height="5" width="14">File types - prompting |
| when unknown on add, other usability improvements.</li> |
| <li><font class="indexsub">[>3.1]</font> Improve support for actions that |
| could work with multiselected resources |
| <ul> |
| <li>sharing https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9478</li> |
| <li>patching creating across projects</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li><span style="font-weight: bold;"><img src="../images/ok.gif" height="10" width="10"></span>author |
| and comment directly in compare editor (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=11426)</li> |
| <li><font class="indexsub">[>3.1]</font>drag-and-drop /copy and paste (synchronize |
| view...?) |
| <ul> |
| <li>https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=50101 (paste cvs location |
| as shown on most websites)</li> |
| <li><span style="font-weight: bold;"><img src="../images/ok.gif" height="10" width="10"></span>copy/drag+drop |
| resource names from sync view</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li><font class="indexsub">[>3.1]</font> Label decorations for easier use |
| with mixed tags, branches, versions (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=66958)</li> |
| <li>SSH2</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Key export wizard can be improved.</li> |
| <li>We could instead add a key creation wizard that would allow</li> |
| <li>Enable pserver over ssh connection method.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li><font class="indexsub">[>3.1]</font> Watch/Edit</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Mostly so that we get good coverage of validateEdit, we should self-host |
| using this feature</li> |
| <li>To make it more usable, the server query could be run in a separate |
| thread so that typing is not affected by the validate call. This may however |
| be a problem for refactorings?</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li><span style="font-weight: bold;"><img src="../images/ok.gif" height="10" width="10"></span> |
| Annotate </li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Annotate command forces the user into the CVS perspective. This is not |
| nice.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li><font class="indexsub">[>3.1]</font> Patch support improvements<br> |
| </li> |
