<p><b>Updating</b>: If using a version prior to 2.0, must upgrade to 2.0
before installing Mylyn 2.2.</p>
<!--
<p><b>Update Notes</b> <br>
- We recommend using the Eclipse 3.3M7 release due to the
numerous UI improvements (see Eclipse 3.3 only items below).<br>
- 2.0M2 and later releases will reset your task activity
timings (Mylyn now uses a new and much more robust timing mechanism).<br>
- The offline task data cache will be reset, so submit outgoing changes before
updating.<br>
- If upgrading from a 0.x version, first update to Mylyn 1.0
and see the corresponding <a href="http://eclipse.org/mylyn/doc/new-1.0.html">
update notes</a>.<br>
- Trac xml-rpc users: you will
<a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn_FAQ#Trac_Connector">need the
latest</a> XmlRpcPlugin.<br> </p>
<p><b>Mylar -> Mylyn Migration</b></p>
<ul>
<li>No uninstall necessary during the update, the old plug-ins will
automatically be disabled.</li>
<li>Can delete all old plug-ins/features either manually or via the Update
Manager.</li>
<li>All Mylyn preferences will need to be reset. If you set a custom
data directory this will need to be reset on start.</li>
<li>Project to Task Repository associations will need to be reset.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>UI Cleanup</b></p>
<p>The following things have moved into the Sandbox either because they are not
at the 2.0 quality level or because they are experimental features.</p>
<ul>
<li>Pause Context Capture</li>
<li>Active Task on open</li>
<li>Synchronize view style overlays</li>
<li>Task Activity report</li>
<li>Legend moved to view menu</li>

<p>XPlanner:</p>
<ul>
<li>The XPlanner connector now allows using Mylyn's automatic
time tracking to be incorporated in the actual time setting for
an XPlanner task. The XPlanner Task editor actions section has a
checkbox that allows the user to turn automatic time tracking on
or off (default is off). There are also options for allowing the
automatically tracked time to be added to or replace the current
actual time (default is adding -- actual update is done when the
Submit button is pressed), and rounding the automatically
tracked time to the nearest half hour (default is to round). The
user still has the option of putting in actual time manually,
however, if automatic actual time tracking is enabled, the last
entered user value will be overridden with the latest tracked
time.<br>

also be used to invoke this action, and will additionally inspect the contents of

The slider <i>Context</i> tab on the Task Editor can now be used to
view all elements still present in the workspace that have at any
point been a part of the task context. This can be useful for
pruning the task context before sharing it, for example, in order to
remove private files that have been accessed. In addition,
removing large numbers of elements from the task context is now
instant.

This is now made explicit in the UI of views including the <i>Package

corresponding actions getting grayed out. Doing so also ensures
that the view cannot be put into an inconsistent state by having
some of it's filters enabled when in Focused mode. When Focus
is toggled off or the task is deactivated the manual linking and
filtering will be re-enabled and restored to their previous state.<p class="MsoPlainText">

<p class="MsoPlainText">A frequent new user confusion of the
Task-Focused UI was the fact that files are automatically removed
from the task context when they are closed. This facility will now
show a popup the first time it is invoked, and prompt that it can disabled
via the preferences. Previously it could only be disabled by
disabling all editor management (which restores
editors and ensures that elements whose interest had decayed have
their editors closed, preventing open editor bloat). However,
removing files from context on close is still recommended because it
ensures that the open editors match the task context.<p class="MsoPlainText">
