[platform-update-dev] Update UI 3.0 - early access

["Dejan Glozic" <dejan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We have released the new experimental Update UI into the today's
integration build (I20030506) that is likely to be promoted into the M1
stable build. A document describing the rational behind the redesign as
well as brief explanation (with screenshots) is available off the Update
development resources:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-update-home/doc/working/ui-redesign/ui-redesign.html

Use it as a starting point, but feel free to click your way around and tell
us if it is better, worse or pretty much the same as the old one. The
document also contains a link to a set of test scenarios modified to work
with the new UI - it is a great way to explore it because all the sites and
features are on us :-).

Old UI is still working and available but we plan to phase it out by M2.
There are one or two things that you can do with the old that cannot be
done with the new UI. By M2, the opposite will be true, so there will be no
reason to keep it around.
