		<item title="Servers view initialization">
			<description>
			   The Servers view is no longer blocked from opening until the servers API
			   is done initializing. The Servers view now appears immediately and shows
			   the text "Initializing..." until servers have been loaded in the background.
			   <br/>
			   <br/>
			   This change is consistent with JDT's approach to background loading and will
			   allow perspectives containing the Servers view to appear immediately instead
			   of being blocked by workspaces with lots of servers or adopter extensions.

			<description>
			   The Servers view context menu has been improved for Eclipse consistency and
			   new options have been added, along with a Properties dialog.<br/>

		<item title="Publishing performance">
			<description>
			   A new binary format and removal of duplicate information have improved both
			   the size and performance of storing the publishing history file by 70-90%.
			   <!-- While it won't make much difference to the average user, t-->This improvement
			   will decrease workspace size and improve publishing performance for extremely
			   large applications.
