In an
effort to accurately follow the Eclipse Version Numbering
guidelines*, the Dali version number for Helios is being changed from
"3.0" to "2.3" to correspond with the largest version increment
experienced in the Dali plugins (2.2 -> 2.3). Plugin versions as
always continue to be governed by the guidelines.
This change does not indicate any loss of planned functionality. Dali
2.3 is still adding comprehensive support for JPA 2.0 and support for
EclipseLink 2.x, but due to the fact that no *Public*
API has been broken from the previous version, it is technically
incorrect to increment the major version segment of the overall Dali
feature since no single plugin has incremented its major segment.
Feature version numbers will be changed in code and 3.0 bugs will be
migrated to corresponding 2.3 buckets. Project metadata and the
project plan will also be updated, as well as bug queries that point to
3.0 bugzilla entries.
Let me know if you have any question about this. From what I can
deduce, this should not be problematic from a technical
(install/update) perspective, assuming that previous 3.0 milestones are
not published or maintained on future production repositories.
I plan to make these changes for the upcoming M5.
