[ecf-dev] Announcement: 0.6.0

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ECFers,

Version 0.6.0 of ECF is now available:  
http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/downloads.html

Note:  This release has a number of core API changes...primarily for 
method and class name consistency...both internal and with Eclipse 
conventions (e.g. 'makeID'->'createID').  Client code will need to be 
updated to use this version as old versions of methods were removed 
rather than deprecated (since we are still in provisional API stage).  I 
will detail the changes in the 0.6.0 New and Noteworthy as soon as 
possible. 

Note also that the 0.6.0 generic server *cannot* be used with old 
clients (wire protocol changed), so to use new 
ecftcp://ecf.eclipse.org:3282/server it will be necessary to update to 
the 0.6.0 client code.

It's my expectation that this will be the last backwardly-incompatible 
change in the ECF API before 1.0 release.

Thanks,

Scott
