== Maemo Eclipse Integration 2nd Edition project released several prereleases ==

* With Alpha 1 release middle of November 2008 true development process for all Maemo Eclipse Integration components started with Garage open source projects using agile development process
* With Alpha 2 release end of February 2009 a lot of new features were added to the Maemo Eclipse Integration components. Initial support for Windows host PC was implemented. All but Maemo Mica Eclipse plugin framework products were released in Maemo Garage. Mica framework will be release in future when framework will be stable enough to be usable also for other than just ESbox and Pluthon Maemo Eclipse plugin development
* With Beta 1 release (week 21 middle of May) major upgrades for many generic Eclipse components were introduced, a lot of new functionality of all components were implemented, good support for Windows host PCs and initial support for Mac OS X host PCs were introduced for PC Connectivity, Mica Eclipse plugin framework was released as separate product, first integration effort to support Fremantle development environment was done, SDK Virtual Images were updated to Ubuntu Intrepid level.
* With Beta 2 release (week 27 beginning of July) usable support for Fremantle development environment, good support for Mac OS X for Maemo PC Connectivity, Mica plugin framework refactored and cleaned up, Maemo Flasher-3.5 beta Tools released and integrated to Eclipse, localization support added to the ESbox, first Windows and Mac OS X configuration tools for PC Connectivity released, a lot of stability fixes for existing components and also some new functionality.
* With Prefinal release (week 37 middle of September) much improved support for Fremantle SDK development environment and new N900 device, improved support for Windows and Mac OS X as host PC, Mica plugin framework ready for third party plugin development, more automatic configuration of host PC for PC Connectivity using ZeroConf (Avahi) and DHCP, Samba support to enable disk mounts between Maemo device and Windows host PCs, Eclipse installation wizard for automated Maemo SDK Virtual Image installation, a lot of stability fixes for existing components and functionality.

=== Maemo Eclipse Integration release versioning schema for Eclipse plugins ===

Eclipse Integration project, version numbers for plugin releases are composed of four (4) segments: 3 integers and a string respectively named major.minor.service.qualifier. The page <http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Version_Numbering> describes guidelines for the first three segments, which relate to API promises in official supported releases. These rules do not apply to intermediate builds, however, so we will hold the major.minor.service segments at "2.0.0", indicating an API break from Eclipse Integration v1.

Based on this, we will follow this convention in the whole version number:

* "R<version>" indicates fully tested and stable official release, released according to the following schedule. 
* "<version>M or I or N" indicates that release is not fully tested official release but some prerelease.

The page <http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/build_types.html> describes, somewhat roughly, the versioning of intermediate releases. Based on this, we will follow this convention in the qualifier segment:

* "M<number>" indicates milestones, which are integration tested and stable, released according to the following schedule. 
* "I<date>" indicates integration builds, which are developer tested, released every two weeks as sprint artifacts. 
* "N<date>", if used, indicates nightly builds, which are untested and unstable.

=== Eclipse Integration Subprojects ===
* ESbox project: http://esbox.garage.maemo.org/
* Pluthon project: http://pluthon.garage.maemo.org/
* Mica project: http://mica.garage.maemo.org/
* PC Connectivity project: http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/
* SDK Virtual Image project: http://maemovmware.garage.maemo.org/
* Maemo Flasher-3.5 Tools (no Garage project because flasher is closed binary)

== New features in Final release (R2.0.0, w52 2009) ==

Eclipse Final release was done about one month AFTER final Fremantle 5.0 SDK and N900 releases.

'''Notice''' especially that Final release replaced old Eclipse Integration 1st Edition release and all 2nd Edition prereleases meaning that support for those releases was discontinued and deliverables and documentation were removed.

Eclipse Integration components now support the latest Debian based Linuxes, Windows XP with SP3, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard with x86/32bit architectures. Support for Windows 7 and Windows Vista with SP2 is only at beta level because their support is based on Cygwin 1.7 which has only beta version available.

Support for other than above listed operating systems has not been tested but should be possible if chosen operating system supports Eclipse IDE, if similar functionality for Host PC Connectivity is available for that operating system (for example most Linuxes like Fedora have that) and if operating system is able to run Maemo SDK Virtual Image (in practice supports either QEMU, VMWare or VirtualBox).

== Alpha 3 release was skipped (2.0.0M3, wk14 2009) ==

'''Notice:''' Maemo Eclipse Integration 2nd Edition Alpha 3 release was optional. Plan was that Alpha 3 release will be done but published (and announced) only if the quality level is good enough (equal or better than for Alpha 2). Because many basic Eclipse components (like Eclipse IDE itself, CDT, RSE, pyDev etc) were updated for Alpha 3 release it was not possible to have good enough quality for this release in given time schedule (about one month between Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 releases) and project decided to skip Alpha 3 release and target to have first Beta release out with good quality and with final versions of standard Eclipse components (no more major version updates for final). Beta 1 release planned for week 20 is not optional :).
