### API changes

- New APIs have been added to support client notification of file encoding and content type changes. Unfortuanatly this API was added too late in the release cycle for implementation to follow. It will be addressed soon after 3.0 ships. For more information see bug 59899

## What's new in this drop

(Massive update in build-notes takes into account all action between 2004-01-27 and 2004-05-20)

### API changes

- API in the `org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility` plug-in has been deprecated. See the Porting Guide for more details.
- As per the plan item (bug 37696) the `org.apache.xerces` plug-in has been removed from the Eclipse SDK builds.
- A new preference mechanism has been rolled out and the old preferences have been re-written in terms of the new APIs. See the `org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences` package in the `org.eclipse.core.runtime` plug-in for more details.
- Users are now able to build working sets rather than having to build the entire workspace. See the plan item bug report (bug 50816) for more details.
- The `org.eclipse.core.resources` API is no longer dependant on classes which reside in the compatibility layer. Only one method existed, `IProject#getPluginWorkingLocation(IPluginDescriptor)` and this has been replaced by `IProject#getWorkingLocation(String)`. See bug 59355 for details. Note that the implementation of the Resources plug-in still relies on the compatibility layer and the removal of this dependancy is an issue which will be addressed post-3.0.

## What's new in this drop

(Massive update in build-notes takes into account all action between 2003-10-08 and 2004-01-27)

### API changes

- Equinox work on new runtime has been merged into HEAD on dev.eclipse.org and is now apart of the regular (integration, nightly and milestone) builds. Check the Platform/Core team web site for more information as well as a porting guide for API changes. Note: as a result of the changes, some of the Runtime code has been refactored into a new project. (`org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility`) This is covered in the on-line documentation.
- Changes have been made to the concurrency model and Core now exposes a new job API for clients. Details can be found on the Platform/Core team web site and in the `org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs` package.
- The Auto-Refresh Plug-in (which was originally contributed to Core by Jed as a separate plug-in) has both been integrated into Core as well as been converted to use the new Jobs APIs. The `ResourcesPlugin.PREFS_AUTO_REFRESH` preference is exposed as a Work-in-progress preference in the Workbench preferences.

# Eclipse Platform Build Notes
Core

Eclipse SDK Build 20031008 (M4)

## What's new in this drop

### API changes

- Released early versions of new core runtime API (in the org.eclipse.core.runtime and org.eclipse.core.runtime.registry packages) for supporting dynamically installing plug-ins (without requiring restart), and registering listeners for changes in the plug-in registry. See plan item page for more info on this.
- Support was added for progress monitors that provide feedback when the current thread is blocked due to ongoing background activity. See the new type IProgressMonitorWithBlocking for more details.
- A new preference was added to the runtime plugin for specifying a performance setting (Platform.PREF_PLATFORM_PERFORMANCE). Users set the value of this preference depending on the speed of their computer. Any component can use this setting to determine if CPU-intensive features should be enabled. The platform job scheduler will use this value to decide how much concurrent background activity it will allow. This API is experimental and still under development.

Eclipse SDK Build 20030923

## What's new in this drop

### API changes

- Autobuild in the background!! When automatic build is enabled, it now runs in a background thread. This makes all workspace changing API more responsive. See plan item bug report 36957 for more details.
- New constant ResourcesPlugin.FAMILY_AUTO_BUILD for manipulating the background autobuild job. This allows clients to query or join a background autobuild in progress.
- New API on IResource to get or set the local file system time stamp. This uses an in-memory cache to greatly improve the performance of retrieving or changing the local time stamp. New methods are IResource.getLocalTimeStamp and IResource.setLocalTimeStamp. See API javadoc for more details.
- There have been various tweaks to the IJobManager API that caused breaking changes. Job.run has been made protected to prevent clients from calling it directly, and IJobManager.endRule now requires the scheduling rule to be specified as a parameter.

### Other highlights

- Several deadlock problems were fixed for this build. Please continue to enter bug reports against platform core if you see new deadlocks.

# Eclipse Platform Build Notes
Core

Eclipse SDK Build 20030811

## What's new in this drop

### API changes

- Added experimental API to IJobManager for applying a scheduling rule to a particular thread. This is a breaking change because it required adding a method to ISchedulingRule.
- Made API changes in resources plug-in to support scheduling rules. IResource now extends ISchedulingRule, so any resource handle can be used as a job scheduling rule. New API on IWorkspace allows running an IWorkspaceRunnable with a given scheduling rule applied. This will block until it is safe to run, and then batch the changes as in a normal IWorkspaceRunnable.

- Added `IncrementalProjectBuilder.needRebuild()` and `IncrementalProjectBuilder.hasBeenBuilt(IProject)` to help acommodate recent changes with building projects with cyclic dependancies.
- Added `IResourceProxy.getSessionProperty(QualifiedName)` so users don't have to request the underlying resource from the proxy in order to get access to a particular session property.
- Added `IWorkspace.isTreeLocked()` so clients can determine whether or not the workspace tree is locked for changes.
- Added API to `IWorkspaceDescription` for setting/getting the values to use for the number of iterations for building projects with cyclic dependancies. Also added a preference constant to `ResourcesPlugin` to aid with this.

Eclipse SDK Build 20021118

## What's new in this drop

Since we've been neglecting to update our build notes for the past little while, this file contains a multitude new APIs and functionality that we have added to the Platform/Core component and is not necessarily restricted to those changes between the 2002-11-15 and 2002-11-19 builds.

### API changes

- In order to help with sorting markers by their creation time, we added a timestamp to markers. See: IMarker.getCreationTime() for more details.
- Linked Resources - New API has been added to support the creation and manipulation of linked resources. Full details can be found in the proposals on the Top Ten Issues page on dev.eclipse.org.
- Path Variables - We added support for workspace path variables. These can be used in conjunction with linked resources (described above). See the following classes/methods for more information: IWorkspace.getPathVariableManager, IPathVariableManager, IPathVariableChangeListener, IPathVariableChangeEvent.
- Build Order Computation - The algorithm to calculate the default project build order in the workspace has changed. The new API for this method is: IWorkspace.computeProjectOrder. The old method (IWorkspace.computePrerequisiteOrder) has been deprecated.
- We added basic line information to plug-in model objects. This is set by the parser when they are read from the plugin.xml file. See PluginModelObject.getStartLine() for more details.

### Other highlights

- Classloader Properties - We added some classloader performance enhancement. They are described in this document.

- Added new constants BootLoader.OS_MACOSX and BootLoader.WS_CARBON. See the BootLoader class for more details.

### Other highlights

- The non-API class org.eclipse.core.launcher.UIMain has been removed. Code previously calling this class can reference org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main since UIMain was a wrapper to call Main with the workbench application, and now the application will be picked up from the primary feature.

Eclipse SDK Build 20020430

## What's new in this drop

### API changes

- Added a new constant (PREF_ENCODING) and API (ResourcesPlugin.getEncoding()) to help with persistence of the encoding type to use when reading text files. See org.eclipse.core.resources.ResourcesPlugin and the Platform/UI build notes for details.
- Added new API IWorkspace.loadProjectDescription(IPath) which loads a project description file from a .project file on disk. The resulting description file can be used to create the project via the IProject.create APIs. This method is useful for discovering the name of a project from a .project file. See IWorkspace.loadProjectDescription for more details.
- Added API for IPluginDescriptor.find to match the API Plugin.find. These methods are functionally equivalent except the method on IPluginDescriptor does not require the plugin to be activated. Also note that the resulting URL is NEVER a platform: URL and thus does not need to be resolved via Platform.resolve. (although calling #resolve will be a no-op and not cause any harm) See IPluginDescriptor for more details.
- Added new API IResource.isSynchronized(int) which will return a boolean value indicating whether or not the given resource is considered to be synchronized with the local file system to the given depth. See IResource.isSychronized for more information.

## What's new in this drop

### API changes

### Other highlights

- Support for automatically adding the /fragments directory to a plugin's class path has been removed.
What this means:
- Fragments are now able to live as siblings of their plugins. That is, they both can reside in the same /plugins directory.
- Fragments living in the /fragments directory will NOT automatically be found when running.

How to fix your fragments:
- Move your fragments from <eclipseInstall>/fragments/ to <eclipseInstall>/plugins/.
- Nothing else should be necessary to make this work. (e.g. you do NOT need to rename the fragment.xml file).

- Signalling a project move by #beginMoveProject/#endMoveProject does not work. (clients must call #movedProjectSubTree)
- A project move fail if the resources are out of sync with the local file system and the force flag is false. (Note that it does NOT try to move all in-sync resources)

- The project description file has been moved from the project metadata area to the project content area into a file called ".project". Current limitations:

- If #setContents is called on the .project file the changes are reflected in the project description in memory during the next resource change notification.
- If new content is discovered for the .project file from a #refreshLocal the changes are reflected in the project description in memory during the next resource change notification.

### Other highlights

- Plugin registry caching has been enabled by default. On startup, a registy cache is checked against the plugin and fragment files on disk. If it is determined that there are no changes then the cache is used rather than parsing the XML files. If the user does not want to use the registry cache mechanism, then there is a command line argument "-noregistrycache" which can be used to enforce parsing of the XML files.

### API changes

- Added org.eclipse.core.boot.BootLoader.getOSArch(). This method returns the string name of the current system architecture. The value is a user-defined string if the architecture is specified on the command line, otherwise it is the value returned by java.lang.System.getProperty("os.arch").

## What's new in this drop

### API changes

- 5039 IFile.create with force true does not handle case variants

- The compromise is that methods that create files and folders on disk will return
a special status constant in the CoreException if a case variant collision is
detected. This constant is IResourceStatus.CASE_VARIANT_EXISTS. The idea is
that at least this allows the programmatic detection of this case, so
appropriate handling can be written.

### Other highlights

- None.

Eclipse SDK Build 207 - November 1, 2001

## What's new in this drop

### API changes

- 5158 Core extensions are a mess?

- Released documentation fixes to our repository. No change in code, no change required by clients.

- 3041 magic 'aux' name not handled by refactoring (1GEUO7L)

- Added platform specific resource name validation checks to IWorkspace#validateName. The given refactoring case still doesn't give pretty results (big error dialog), but there's no more walkbacks. The API comment was updated.

- 5002 API IncrementalProjectBuilder#build should mention how to handle cancel

- Added a line in the javadoc recommending how cancelation should be handled.

### Other highlights

- 3048 resource name != file name? (1GF2SPG)

- This restriction has been removed. It is now legal to create resource names involving semi-colons and commas.

### API changes

- 3133 API - clarify IProjectDescription.setLocation (1GKS62X)
Added the following paragraph:
* This operation maps the root folder of the project to the exact location
* provided. For example, if the location for project named "P" is set
* to the path c:\my_plugins\Project1, the file resource at workspace path
* /P/index.html would be stored in the local file system at
* c:\my_plugins\Project1\index.html.
