Build Notes for TM M20120913-1100
Sep 13, 2012

• TM M20120913-1100 requires Eclipse 3.4 or later. Import/Export, Telnet and FTP require Java 1.5, the rest of RSE runs on Java 1.4. Platform Runtime is the minimum requirement for core RSE and Terminal. Discovery needs EMF.
• Highlights of Bugs fixed since TM 3.2.1:
  • RSE Paste to Local Files has been fixed for Vista and Windows 7 hosts [334006].
  • A number of fixes have been applied to the Terminal: resizing, ANSI escape sequence interpretation, color rendering, middle mouse button paste all work more reliably now [335408,335410,335411,335412,335413].
• At least 36 bugs were resolved: Use this query to show the list of bugs fixed since TM 3.2.1 [build notes].
• For details on checkins, see TM SearchCVS, the RSE CVS changelog, and the TM Core CVS changelog.
• For other questions, please check the TM and RSE FAQ as well as the TM 3.2 Known Issues and Workarounds.

The RSE User Documentation has a Tutorial that guides you through installation, first steps, connection setup and important tasks.

If you want to know more about future directions of the Target Management Project, developer documents, architecture or how to get involved, the online Getting Started page as well as the TM and RSE FAQ are the best places for you to get started.

No API changes are allowed in the TM 3.2.x maintenance stream. Therefore, TM 3.2.x is fully upward and backward compatible with TM 3.2, and can be fully exchanged for TM 3.2 in any product based on it. Take care of API specification updates though, where the TM 3.2.x API Docs have been updated to add clarifications or missing information compared to 3.2.

For the upcoming TM 3.3 release, only backward compatible API changes are planned, especially in order to support improved componentization and UI/Non-UI splitting. In the interest of improving the code base, though, please take care of API marked as @deprecated in the Javadoc. Such API is prime candidate to be removed in the future. Also, observe the API Tooling tags such as @noextend and @noimplement.
