| <p:introduction> |
| <div> |
| TCF (Target Communication Framework) is a vendor-neutral, |
| lightweight, extensible network protocol mainly for |
| communicating with embedded systems (targets). |
| Applications of TCF include system discovery and configuration, |
| file system browsing, process launching, debugging, data transfer, |
| and more. |
| On top of the protocol specification, which is the core of TCF, |
| the project includes a plain-C implementation of a lightweight |
| extendable target agent, Java client API (usable stand-alone |
| or on top of Eclipse), Python and Lua client APIs, complete |
| debugger UI implementation in Eclipse, integration with CDT, |
| Target Explorer, documentation and usage examples. |
| </div> |
| </p:introduction> |
| <p:release_deliverables> |
| <div> |
| The TCF project delivers the Java protocol framework |
| and exemplary tools as Eclipse plugins in the form of a |
| p2 repository, as well as an exemplary C agent, Python |
| and Lua bindings in the form of source code available |
| from the project's git repositories. |

| <p:target_environments> |
| <div> |
| For release 1.0, the tools run with Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) and related dependencies (CDT, TM/RSE). |
| All tools have been tested on Eclipse 3.8 and 4.2 (Juno) as well. |
| Our plug-ins require Java >= 6.0. |
| </div> |
| <div> |
| The exemplary C agent runs on Linux (full-featured) and Windows (with limitations in debugging) |
| but has been ported to other operating systems successfully. |
| </div> |
| <internationalization> |
| <div> |
| The tools aim to have all strings externalized so as to |
| facilitate internationalization. Mapfiles have been |
| submitted to the Eclipse Babel Project for translation. |
| </div> |

| <p:compatibility_with_previous_releases> |
| <div> |
| <p><strong>TCF Protocol Compatibility:</strong> |
| The TCF 1.0 protocol is binary compatible on the wire with previous releases. New features have been added in a |
| discoverable fashion, extending older versions of the protocol. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>API Compatibility:</strong> |
| The 1.0 release is not compatible with previous 0.x releases due to a namespace refactoring. |
| Moving forward, we intend to keep any changes API compatible. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Binary (plug-in) Compatibility:</strong> |
| We have no binary compatibility issues to discuss for 1.0. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Source Compatibility:</strong> |
| We have no source compatibility issues to discuss for 1.0. |
| </p> |

| <p:themes_and_priorities> |
| <p:preamble> |
| <div>The core theme of TCF 1.0 is making it ready for graduation. |
| </div> |
| </p:preamble> |
| <p:theme name="API refactoring for 1.0"> |
| <p:description> |
| <div> |
| While the functionality of TCF API's has matured over the years, |
| its namespace is not appropriate for graduation. |
| TCF API should be refactored into its own TCF namespace for |
| graduation. |

| Our primary platform for TCF 1.0 will be Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo), yet full test runs will be performed on Eclipse 3.8 and 4.2 and defects will be fixed as they are found. |
| Thanks to Eclipse compatibility rules of engagement, our features will likely "Just Work" on a 3.8 base. |
