<p><b>API Contract Compatibility:</b> GEF 3.2 is upwards contract-compatible
|
|
|
131 |
with GEF 3.0 except for those areas noted in
|
|
|
132 |
<a href="#BreakingAPI">Breaking API Changes</a>. Downward contract compatibility
|
|
|
133 |
is not supported. There is no guarantee that compliance with 3.2 APIs would
|
|
|
134 |
ensure compliance with 3.0 APIs. Refer to <i><a href="http://eclipse.org/eclipse/development/java-api-evolution.html">Evolving

|
|
135 |
Java-based APIs</a></i> for a discussion of the kinds of API changes that
|
|
|
136 |
maintain contract compatibility.</p>
|
|
|
137 |
<p><b>Binary (plug-in) Compatibility:</b> GEF 3.2 is upwards binary-compatible
|
|
|
138 |
with GEF 3.0 except in those areas noted in
|
|
|
139 |
<a href="#BreakingAPI">Breaking API Changes</a>. Downward plug-in

144 |
<p><b>Non-compliant usage of API's</b>: All non-API methods and classes, and
|
|
|
145 |
everything in a package with "internal" in its name, are
|
|
|
146 |
considered implementation details which may vary between operating environment
|
|
|
147 |
and are subject to change without notice. Client plug-ins that directly depend
|
|
|
148 |
on anything other than what is specified in the API are inherently
|
|
|
149 |
unsupportable and receive no guarantees about compatibility within a single
|
|
|
150 |
release or across releases. Refer to <i><a href="http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-API%20use/eclipse-api-usage-rules.html">How
|

to Use the Eclipse API</a></i> for information about how to write compliant

plug-ins. </p>

<h2>3. <a name="BreakingAPI"></a>API Changes</h2>
|
|
|
154 |
<h4>Deprecated API that was removed in 3.2</h4>
|
|
|
155 |
<ul>
|
|
|
156 |
<li>The fields <code>viewer</code> and <code>contents</code> were removed from <code>ScalableRootEditPart</code> and <code>FreeformGraphicalRootEditPart</code>.
|
|
|
157 |
(Bug 111102)</li>
|
|
|
158 |
</ul>
|
|
|
159 |
<h4>API Behavior Changes</h4>
|
|
|
160 |
<ul>
|
|
|
161 |
<li><code>BorderLayout</code> has been changed to vertically stretch the central figure (it used to center it before). (Bug 113008)</li>
|
|
|
162 |
<li><code>TextFlow#getFirstOffsetForLine(int)</code> and <code>TextFlow#getLastOffsetForLine(int)</code> now expect the given int argument to be the exact baseline value. (Bug 113700)</li>
|
|
|
163 |
</ul>
|
|
|
164 |
<h4>Breaking API Changes</h4>
|
|
|
165 |
<ul>
|
|
|
166 |
<li>None</li>
|

<h2>4. <a name="Known Issues"></a>Known Issues</h2>
|
|
|
169 |
<h4>Printing</h4>
|
|
|
170 |
<blockquote>
|
|
|
171 |
<p>Some fonts scale differently on the printer than they do on the screen. This
|
|
|
172 |
may result in printed text appearing wider than the same text on the screen.
|
|
|
173 |
Clients can use margins to ensure that extra space is available to the figure
|
|
|
174 |
when printing.</p>
|
|
|
175 |
<p>Printing may not be implemented by SWT on some platforms.</p>
|
|
|
176 |
</blockquote>
|
|
|
177 |
<p><b>Mirrored mode (Right to Left)</b></p>
|
|
|
178 |
<blockquote>
|
|
|
179 |
<p>Printing figures that are on a mirrored (right-to-left) control may not work
|
|
|
180 |
with some printer drivers.</p>
|
|
|
181 |
<p dir="ltr">Advanced graphics might not work in mirrored mode. Bug
