<li>TM @buildId@ <b>requires Eclipse 3.3M6 or later</b>. Platform Runtime is the minimum
requirement for core RSE and Terminal. Discovery needs EMF, and the Remotecdt
integration needs CDT.</li>
<li>Added a <b>milestone update site</b> for TM 2.0 milestone builds at
<a href="http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/updates/milestones">http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/updates/milestones</a>.

<li><b>Added a Telnet Subsystem</b>. It can be activated by selecting the new
system type "Telnet Only (Experimental)". The telnet subsystem is currently
still experimental because of problems when passing invalid credentials, or
opening multiple telnet shells simultaneously.

<p>An important part of the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/development/tm_project_plan_2_0.html">Target Management 2.0 Project Plan</a>
is to harden the APIs which were provisional by RSE 1.0. Naturally, this requires
API changes, and especially moving lots of classes which we cannot guarantee to
support in the future into internal packages.</p>
<p>As of TM 2.0 M6, most of this work has been completed, and the list of breaking
API changes is found below with migration info. But although we had planned for
API freeze with M6, there are still few more cleanup changes that we would like
to take the opportunity and bring into TM 2.0. Most of these will be made shortly
after M6, or they will be introduced in a backward compatible manner.
At any rate, we will avoid breaking API changes after M7, or the earlierst
possible integration build up to M7. 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 for TM 2.0.</p>

<ul>
<li>TM @buildId@ Breaking API Changes
<ul>
<!--
<li><b>Cleaned up ISystemRegistry</b> - removed or changed signature of several methods [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=175680">175680</a>].</li>
-->
<li><b>Moved RSESystemTypeAdapter.createNewHostInstance() to IRSESystemType.createNewHostInstance()</b>.
This was necessary in order to support moving SystemHostPool from UI to Core,
which is a blocking prerequisite for future enhanced UI/Non-UI separation.
Migration: Extenders of RSESystemTypeAdapter will need to change their code
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=176211">176211</a>].</li>
</ul></li>
<li>TM 2.0M7 Breaking API Changes
<ul>
<li><b>Moved some more classes</b>, like the dstore miners, ISubSystemConfigurationAdapter,
or Terminal API classes (which have been marked provisional).
These changes can simply be picked up by running "organize imports" on client code
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180649">180649</a>]
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186748">186748</a>]
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186134">186134</a>].</li>
<li><b>Moved the subsystemConfigurations and keystoreProviders extension points</b>
to org.eclipse.rse.core in order to better support UI/non-UI separation
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186523">186523</a>]
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186525">186525</a>].</li>
<li><b>Removed the remoteSystemsViewPreferencesActions and
dynamicPopupMenuExtensions extension points</b>
since the same can now be achieved with standard org.eclipse.ui extension points
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=185552">185552</a>]
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=185554">185554</a>].</li>
<li>Fixed incorrect usage of <b>IRSESystemType.getAdapter()</b>. This change is
important to <b>consider manually since it does not break the build</b> -
see the bug entry for details
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186779">186779</a>].</li>
<li>Made <b>IRemoteFileSubSystem forward exceptions</b> rather than handling itself
by opening dialogs
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=183824">183824</a>].</li>
<li><b>Unify Singleton Access Methods</b> to use getInstance() in most cases
in order to achieve better API consistency
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177523">177523</a>].</li>
<li><b>Added IProgressMonitor parameter</b> to all long-running IRemoteFileSubSystem
methods. Clients need to pass in a NullProgressMonitor in all these methods now.
Moved the <b>IProgressMonitor parameter last</b> in all methods for consistency.
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=184322">184322</a>]
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186128">186128</a>].</li>
<li><b>Use IRSESystemType</b> instead of String systemTypeName everywhere -
this is the prerequisite for allowing system type labels to be translated
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180688">180688</a>].</li>
<li><b>Move SysteRegistry's Event Interface to non-UI</b> and split ISystemRegistryUI
from ISystemRegistry - See the bug entries for migration docs
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168975">168975</a>]
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186773">186773</a>].</li>
<li><b>Dont implement interfaces just for Constants</b> - See the bug
entry for migration docs
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=183165">183165</a>].</li>
</ul></li>
<li>TM 2.0M6a Breaking API Changes
<ul>
<li><b>Making more classes "internal"</b>: Lots of more packages and classes were tagged as
discouraged access (moved to "internal").
For migration, just "Organize Imports" and search for alternative ways of doing things
in case you end up with imports from "internal" packages.
For details, see [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=170922">170922</a>].</li>
<li><b>Refactored IConnectorService</b> and moved to Core for beter UI / Non-UI separation.
Most notably, the concept of a CredentialsProvider was added.
That work is not quite complete yet, but the bulk of the work has been done. For detailed
migration info, see [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168977">168977</a>].</li>
<li><b>Renamed getAdapter(Object) -&gt; getViewAdapter(Object)</b> on several classes.
For migration, same renaming may need to be done in client code.
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175150">175150</a>].</li>
<li><b>Dont implement constant interfaces</b> just to bring constants into namespace.
As an effect of this, some classes that clients can derive from do not "see" some constants any more. For
migration, these constants will need to be qualified with the interface that they come from.
For details, see
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=180562">180562</a>].</li>
<li><b>Streams are now part of IFileService and IRemoteFileSubSystem</b>. Supporting Streams was
important for the EFS integration and is a more modern and flexible way to download and upload.
Thus Streams are now mandatory, and extenders must ensure that they implement getInputStream()
and getOutputStrem() properly in their own file services and subsystems.
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=162954">162954</a>] and
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=179850">179850</a>].</li>
<li><b>IHost.getSystemType() now returns an IRSESystemType</b> instead of a String.
More similar changes will follow, in order to move from system type Strings to
IDs and translatable / externalizable labels. For migration, client code can
replace <tt>getSystemType()</tt> by <tt>getSystemType().getName()</tt>.
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175262">175262</a>].</li>
<li><b>Support Menu Configuration in RSESystemTypeAdapter</b> [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=161195">161195</a>].</li>
<li><b>The RSE Communications Daemon has been removed</b> since it was never quite properly
supported in Open Source [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180602">180602</a>].</li>
<li><b>The org.eclipse.rse.logging</b> plugin has been removed, functionality is now
in the core and UI plugins, respectively
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=170920">170920</a>].</li>
</ul></li>
<li>TM 2.0M5 Breaking API Changes
<ul>
<li><b>Modified Extension Point subsystemConfigurations</b> to reference system types by ID rather than
by name. Client code needs to use the <b><i>systemTypeIds</i></b> tag now rather than <samp>systemTypes</samp>
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=162081">162081</a>].</li>
<li><b>Removed Extension Points for Popup Menus and Property Pages:</b> The RSE-specific extension points
<samp>org.eclipse.rse.ui.propertyPages</samp> and <samp>org.eclipse.rse.ui.popupMenus</samp> were removed
because newer Eclipse versions have all required functionality in the base extension points already.
Example code, tutorials and ISV docs were updated and have the required information for how to migrate
to the new extension points. [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=172651">172651</a>].</li>
<li><b>Moved extension point</b> <samp>org.eclipse.rse.ui.archiveHandlers</samp> to
<samp><a href="http://dsdp.eclipse.org/help/latest/topic/org.eclipse.rse.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_rse_services_archivehandlers.html">org.eclipse.rse.services.archiveHandlers</a></samp>
[<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=173871">173871</a>].
<li><b>newConnectionWizards:</b> The old <samp>newConnectionWizardDelegates</samp> extension point
has been replaced by a new <samp><a href="http://dsdp.eclipse.org/help/latest/topic/org.eclipse.rse.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_rse_ui_newConnectionWizards.html">newConnectionWizards</a></samp>
extension point for more flexibility [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=173772">173772</a>].</li>
<li><b>Deep Filtering:</b> The SystemView now supports Context Information for queries of multiple filters to the same remote elements.
That is, the SystemViewElementAdapter.getChildren() method can know the filer context in which a query is made.
This is necessary in order to properly support "deep filtering" by file types. An API change was required
to get this implemented: <b>Existing code needs to change</b> two method signatures in classes deriving from
AbstractSystemViewAdapter. For details, see [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=170627">170627</a>].</li>
<li><b>Making classes internal:</b> Many classes have been made internal, and PDE support for generating
warnings of discourage access has been enabled. Client code should not have used the classes which are
now internal anyways; but if you do, just running "organize imports" should make your code compile again.
For details, see [<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=170922">170922</a>].</li>
