<ul>
<li>TM @buildId@ <b>requires Eclipse 3.3 later for the SSH component</b>.
Other components may work with earlier Eclipse versions, but these have not been tested.
Platform Runtime is the minimum requirement for core RSE and Terminal.
Discovery needs EMF, and the RemoteCDT integration needs CDT.</li>
<li>Important Bug Fixes, Enhancements and API changes:<ul>
<li><b>Permissions, Owner and Group</b> of remote files on DStore, SSH and FTP connections
can now be shown in the Property sheet and the Table view. There is also a new
Property page to modify Permissions, Owner and Group if that is supported by the
file service. New API was introduced to support this
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=209593">209593</a>].</li>
<li><b>Lazy Loading of Filter Pools</b> accounts for improved RSE startup time
and decreased memory footprint due to fewer plugins being loaded
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=197036">197036</a>].</li>
<li>The RSE "<b>Link with Editor</b>" action has been fixed. A new <tt>IViewLinker</tt>
API as well as extensions to the <tt>ISystemTree</tt> API were made to get this done
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=187711">187711</a>].</li>
<li><b>Filters</b> are now <b>connection-private</b> by default
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=160403">160403</a>].</li>
<li><b>SSH Keepalive</b> added to avoid connections time out. The keepalive is
hardcoded to 5 minutes for now and will be made user-configurable in the future
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=155026">155026</a>].</li>
<li>A <b>Connection Timeout Preference</b> has been added for dstore
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=216596">216596</a>].</li>
<li>In the optional <b>Terminal Input Field</b>, field assist (Ctrl+Space) has been
added to easily access commands that were entered previously
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=211659">211659</a>].</li>
<li>API: <b>SystemRegistry</b> is now accessible for non-UI plugins without starting
RSEUIPlugin before (there still is a dependency into SWT only, which we hope
to remove with the next milestone)
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=215820">215820</a>].</li>
<li>API: <b>Nested Property Sets</b> are now supported for more complex descriptions
of hosts
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=217715">217715</a>].</li>
<li>Several smaller bug fixes have been made for search results, archive
handling, and thread-safety.</li>

<p>For the upcoming TM 3.0 release, some API changes will be inevitable,
especially in order to support improved componentization and UI/Non-UI splitting.
Although we completed a great deal of API cleanup for TM 2.0, we decided
to still mark all API as <i>provisional</i> since we expect more work to do.
If anyhow possible, we will avoid breaking API changes after TM 2.0, but please
be prepared for future changes, and especially take care of API marked as
<b>@deprecated</b> in the Javadoc.
Such API is prime candidate to be removed in the future. All
API changes will be voted by committers on the
<a href="https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/dsdp-tm-dev">
dsdp-tm-dev</a> developer mailing list, and documented in a migration guide
for future releases. Early migration information can also be found right
in the bug reports. Look for those that are tagged [api][breaking].</p>

The following lists those API changes that are not backward compatible and require
user attention. A short hint on what needs to change is given directly in the list.
More information can be found in the associated bugzilla items.
<ul>
<li>TM @buildId@ Breaking API Changes [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product=Target+Management&target_milestone=3.0+M5&resolution=FIXED&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=api&cmdtype=doit">query</a>]
<ul>
<li><b>Removed</b> <tt>IServiceSubSystem</tt> and related types in order to simplify the code, and allow better lazy initialization.
<tt>ISubSystem.getServiceType()</tt> is now used to know whether a given subsystem
is based on a service or not. Implementers of IServiceSubSystem need to implement ISubSystem now; code that tested for <tt>instanceof IServiceSubSystem</tt>
needs to use the dynamic check now
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=217556">217556</a>].</li>
<li><b>Removed</b> <tt>ISystemProfile#createHost(IRSESystemType, String, String, String)</tt>. Deprecated some other methods related
to filter or host creation, in order to support lazy initialization of filter pools.
Replacement methods are mentioned in the deprecation text
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=197036">197036</a>].</li>
<li>Made the <b>TerminalConnectorId mandatory</b> in terminal connector plugin.xml,
because it is essentially API allowing to talk to a given connector
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=199285">199285</a>].</li>
<li><b>Removed</b> deprecated <tt>ISystemViewInputProvider#getShell()</tt>
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=218524">218524</a>].</li>
<li><b>Moved</b> some methods from <tt>ISystemRegistry</tt> into <tt>ISystemRegistryUI</tt>
in order to facilitate moving SystemRegistry implementation to non-UI. Making this change
also required <b>adding an SWT dependency for rse.core</b>, which we hope to get rid
again later. The SystemRegistry logfile can now be found in the <tt>rse.core</tt> plugin rather
than the <tt>rse.ui</tt> plugin
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=215820">215820</a>].</li>
<li><b>IRSESystemType.isEnabled()</b> has been added instead of <tt>RSESystemTypeAdapter.isEnabled()</tt>,
in order to provide enablement info to non-UI plugins as well. The adapter method has been made
final in order to warn extenders that they need to move their code to non-UI.
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=218655">218655</a>].</li>

<li>TM 3.0M4 Breaking API Changes

IRemoteObjectResolver.getObjectWithAbsoluteName()</a></b>
now takes an additional <tt>IProgressMonitor</tt> parameter, in order to support cancellation of deferred queries.
The old method has been deprecated and will be removed for 3.0. Especially custom <b>Subsystem</b> implementations will need to
be changed to implement the new method instead of the old one
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=211472">211472</a>].</li>
<li><b><a href="http://dsdp.eclipse.org/help/latest/topic/org.eclipse.rse.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/rse/services/files/IFileService.html#getOutputStream(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20boolean,%20int,%20org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor)">
IFileService.getOutputStream()</a></b>
now takes an additional <tt>int options</tt> parameter, in order to support opening streams which append
to existing files. This was required in order to properly fulfill the EFS APIs. The corresponding old
method has been deprecated and will be removed for 3.0. Custom File Service implementations should be
changed to implement the new method instead of the old one
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=208778">208778</a>].</li>

from <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=207178">bug 207178</a>.
Clients of IRemoteFileSubSystem and IFileService need to be changed, though the change
is simple and compiler will mark error positions
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=209552">209552</a>].</li>
<li><b>Archive Handler API</b> has been changed to support background operation and cancellation.
To facilitate this, an additional ISystemOperationMonitor interface was added as last parameter
of most method calls in

[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=160775">160775</a>].</li>

</ul></li>
<li>TM 3.0M3 Breaking API Changes
<ul>
<li><b>Optimized IFileService for multi-queries</b>. This is not a breaking API change for clients
that extend <a href="http://dsdp.eclipse.org/help/latest/topic/org.eclipse.rse.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/rse/services/files/AbstractFileService.html"><tt>AbstractFileService</tt></a>
rather than implementing IFileService directly. But the
now deprecated methods <tt>getFiles()</tt>, <tt>getFolders()</tt> and <tt>getFilesAndFolders()</tt>
may be removed soon in favor of the new list() API
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=207178">207178</a>].</li>
<li><b>Changed ISubSystem#checkIsConnected()</b> to accept an IProgressMonitor argument
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=207095">207095</a>].</li>
<li><b>Changed the <tt>mountPathMappers</tt> extension point:</b>
<a href="http://dsdp.eclipse.org/help/latest/topic/org.eclipse.rse.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/rse/files/ui/resources/ISystemMountPathMapper.html"><tt>ISystemMountPathMapper</a>#getWorkspaceMappingFor()</tt></b>
has been changed to accept an additional parameter of type
