     <td class="content">
       The <code>org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ViewerComparator</code> now ignores decorations from a <code>DecoratingLabelProvider</code> during its sorting.
       For example, if the EGit team provider is used, it prepends "> " for changed files. This additional "> " is now ignored.
       <p>
       The goal of this change is to eliminate
       <code>java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general contract!</code>
       that could occur when label decorations were updated in the background.
       </p>
       <p>
       For now, you can disable this fix by setting the system property <code>eclipse.disable.fix.for.bug364735</code> to <code>true</code>.
       This temporary system property is planned to be removed unless issues with the new sorting are discovered.

     <td class="content">
       When bad code was calling <code>IProgressMonitor#setTaskName(String)</code> very frequently in a background job,
       the execution was heavily slowed down due to this reporting.
       A workaround has been added to the jobs framework that throttles processing of excessive task name updates.
