Re: [wtp-dev] Notice that preliminary support for HTML5 will be in WTP S

My bad. The IP Log review is *not* required.

Carry on.

If I'm reading the bug correctly, the HTML5 support comes from a
non-committer contribution. Even with a service release, you'll still
need to have your IP Log reviewed/updated.

Does this change come with any additions/changes in API?

We (the WTP PMC and Source Editing Project) wanted to be sure to
communicate well to
the community that our upcoming service release will contain
preliminary source editing
support for HTML5.  See bug 292415.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=292415

We wanted to announce this on this mailing list since, to some, this
will appear to be a "new feature" in
a service release.  While it is admittedly a large addition, there
are no new bundles, no new Eclipse
Features, nor any new or changed APIs.  From an HTML point of view,
this is merely a new content model
(set of valid HTML elements and attributes) to code and validate
against. So, we concluded it fit within the
bounds of a "service release".
      

It's still a new feature.  As prior, only HTML 4.x was supported, now
HTML 5 is supported.   I think we could
argue semantics on this one if we wanted to.  Of course we could have
argued semantics on the PsychoPath Processor
service release support JDK 1.4 as well, I guess.

I think it is a good thing to include, but think we really blurred
what we call a feature in this case.
