| [orion-dev] Updates to plugin registry |
I'm working on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336186 and as part of that work just pushed a change that updates the underlying plugin registry. The reason I'm sending a note to the dev list is that although the change is API friendly it unfortunately is not protocol compatible meaning existing plugins will not work against what's in HEAD. We're genuinely trying to minimize the number of times we make these types of changes and unfortunately knew this was coming but were not ready for M5 -- primarily my fault -- sorry.
This is likely not a problem for those who are not self hosting on HEAD however if you are, you should make sure your plugin is updated to use the current version of "plugin.js" from orion.client.core or else if you're using a copy of http://eclipse.org/e4/resources/orion/orion-plugin.js instead use http://eclipse.org/e4/resources/orion/orion-plugin-HEAD.js . Again the change is API compatible so you should not otherwise need to modify your plugin.
