3.0 release of the ATL project, of the Eclipse M2M Project.
</div><h2><a name="release_deliverables">Release Deliverables</a></h2><p>
The release deliverables have the same form as is found in most
Eclipse projects, namely:
<ul>
<li>ATL source code release, available as versions tagged
"R3_0" in the project's CVS repository.</li>
<li>M2M ATL SDK (includes runtime and tooling components,
with sources and documentation) (downloadable and update site).
</li>
<li>M2M ATL runtime binary distribution (downloadable and
update site).</li>
<li>M2M ATL examples (downloadable and update site).
</li>
<li>M2T ATL tests (downloadable and update site).</li>
</ul>
</p><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="release_milestones">Release Milestones</a></h2><p>Release milestones occur at roughly 6 week intervals
and follow the Platform release milestone by the Galileo-established
+2 delta interval.
ATL will synchronize its release milestones with
the
Galileo release schedule until the M4 date.

ATL produce maintenance releases to align with the Ganymede
Service
Releases
which includes the Eclipse Platform's 3.4.1
and 3.4.2
releases. Maintenance releases will only be published if they
contain new fixes.
</div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="target_environments">Target Environments</a></h2><div>
In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets
reasonably
current versions of the underlying operating environments.
The ATL
project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which
are
mostly "pure" Java. The 3.5 release of the Eclipse Platform
Project
is written and compiled against version 1.4 of the Java
Platform
APIs, and targeted to run on version 1.4 of the Java Runtime
Environment, Standard Edition. ATL will target the same Java version
as the platform.
</div><h3>Internationalization</h3>
<div>
The Eclipse Platform is designed as the basis for
internationalized
products. The user interface elements provided by
the Eclipse SDK
components, including dialogs and error messages, are
externalized.
The English strings are provided as the default
resource bundles. As
a result, the ATL project will provide English
strings in its
default bundles and be localized to a subset of those
locales
offered by the Platform. This plan will be updated to
indicate which
locales will be provided and the time frame for
availability.
</div>
<p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="compatibility">Compatibility with Previous Releases</a></h2><div>We plan to change the API in the ATL 3.0 release but the
ATL language compatibility will be preserved.</div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="themes_and_priorities">Themes and Priorities</a></h2><h3>ATL 3.0 new features</h3><div>
