Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Info Center for Neon.3

Jonah, Fred,

even for Platform a.k.a. as Eclipse SDK this isn't true anymore. We had new features in 4.6.1 and 4.6.2.

http://help.eclipse.org/should always point to the latest release, but we should also keep help centers for older releases like http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp. I don't think we should manage help centers for each update release though.

Hi Fred,

> I tend to agree. Service releases *should* not add new features or
introduce breaking changes, but mostly fix bugs.

Can you confirm the "*should*" applies only to the platform? AFAIK the
whole idea of changing from SRx style to .x style was to acknowledge
that .x releases did indeed add new features. Projects such as CDT do
release new features in .x releases. (An example for CDT is the new
debugger console in Neon.2)

Thanks,
Jonah
