| <td class="title">Detached windows with sash</td> |
| <td class="content"> |
| When you detach a view or editor into its own separate window, it now |
| has all the capabilities of a normal workbench window. They now support multiple stacks of |
| views separated by sashes with arbitrary layouts. The detached parts will remain synchronized |
| with the master window that they were detached from. This is especially handy for people developing |
| with two or more monitors, so they can spread views across several monitors and keep them synchronized. |
