Re: [mylyn-reviews-dev] Reviews M6: Please pardon our dust…
|
BW, if anyone would like to try out the new functionality, the relevant review is https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/11012. As the message says, it's "experimental", but it's getting pretty close. (And yes, it'll be broken into reasonable sized reviews when it's ready to be committed, so general comments only for now, please.)

This is all being heavily reengineered so it probably doesn't make sense to file more bugs against it.) Depending on your tolerance level, you may return to 1.1 for the time being and not install 2.0/M6 if you haven't yet.

(See http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/mylyn-reviews-dev/msg00679.html). But mea culpa -- in the push to keep things moving through review for EclipseCon, changes went in to M6 that probably should have waited. To make a house reno analogy, we replaced all the bathroom fixtures, but in the process "discovered" all of the pipes were corroded and didn't fit. So you can use the toilet, just don't flush! ;) (BTW, for those wondering "why didn't you make those changes on a separate dev branch?!": Given that *all* of the improvements we are making (including such things as the new Review Explorer and the editor integrations) that would have meant that there were basically *no changes* to the actual milestone releases, until we dumped everything on the community at RC1, which to my eyes sort of negates the whole point of the release train in the first place.)

The new remote API implementation will be finished and we'll have replaced all of the existing Gerrit connector bits, so we'll be on a new unified architecture, which will support all kinds of great stuff.
