Mylyn 3.2

This Tasktop release includes all changes in the Mylyn 3.2 release. Highlights include:

  • Connector Discovery Wizard

    From the Add Task Repository dialog you can access the Connector Discovery wizard for simple installation of Mylyn extensions. To launch the Connector Discovery wizard, open the Task Repositories view and click the New Repository button. In the resulting dialog, click the "Install More Connectors..." button to launch Connector Discovery. The Connector Discovery Wizard is available when using the Tasktop Plugins with Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo).

  • Optimized Toolbar

    The Task Editor's toolbar has been updated. The most used actions are now located in the corners Activate (left) and Submit (right) with other repository actions available next to the Submit button in the toolbar. The Alt-S key-binding can now be used to submit changes in the task editor. The task type and id in the header can now be selected and copied.

  • Unified Local and Repository Editor

    The appearance of the editor for local and repository tasks has been streamlined and unified. The priority is now editable and located next to a more visually prominent summary field. Additionally, connector authors can now enable repositioning of the personal planning controls and notes to be folded into a new Private section within the repository task editor page itself. Information contained within the Private section is not submitted to the repository.

  • WikiText Enabled Local Tasks

    The local task editor and notes field in a Private section now support WikiText markup. In a local Task editor, click the Local label in the editor header to configure the wiki dialect.

  • Screen Capture Improvements

    The screen capture wizard supports improved basic image editing and has capabilities for importing images from files and the clipboard.

  • Improved Notifications

    Change notifications use a gradient for the background to improve their visual appearance.

  • Improved Tooltips

    Tooltips use a gradient for the background to improve their visual appearance.

  • Hidden Elements

    When packages are removed from your workspace, references to the missing elements remain in task contexts. The context page of the Task Editor now reveals these missing elements and can be used to remove them from the context (i.e. before attaching to a shared repository).
