Re: [che-dev] Enhancements in 6.13.0

[Thomas Mäder <tmader@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Not marked as an enhancement, but with https://github.com/eclipse/che/pull/10863, we get support for gradle projects and modern java (Java 10 is the currently supported version, I believe)

Hi everyone from EclipseCon Europe!

It's release time again, and I just queries the pull requests tagged

"kind/enhancement" in the 6.13.0 release.

I would like to call out 3-4 areas where we have made a significant user

impact for the 6.13.0 release notes, and I need your help in

understanding the user value of many of these enhancements. This was

very useful to me for the 6.12 release, and I hope it will be again this

time.

Please reply here with a short summary - and also, please tell me if

there are other significant improvements which are *not* in this list

for some reason - it's possible my query did not catch everything

noteworthy.

My high-level impressions reading these are:

* WS.next and IDE.next: Update Theia image, enable remote plug-ins, add

exec plug-in (what does this plug-in do?), improvements related to

running sidecars in workspaces, enable DAP with debug-nodejs in Theia

* Performance enhancement: Enable a config option for image pulling

policy to use local cache by default

* Observability: Improvements to information available in logging (I

think this is what the plugin-broker logging and LogRunnable PRs are about?)

These release notes will also feature the Che presence at EclipseCon Europe.

Thanks,

Dave.
