 <h1>Introduction</h1>

 <h2>What do the Dates Mean?</h2>

 <p>The supplied dates indicate when the API change was made, on the CVS
 trunk. From this you can generally tell whether the change should be
 present in a given build or not; for trunk builds, simply whether it
 was made before or after the change; for builds on a stabilization
 branch, whether the branch was made before or after the given date. In
 some cases corresponding API changes have been made both in the trunk
 and in an in-progress stabilization branch, if they were needed for a
 bug fix; this ought to be marked in this list.</p>

 <ul>

 <li>The <code>release41</code> branch was made on Apr 03 '05 for use in the NetBeans 4.1 release.
 Specification versions: 6.0 begins after this point.</li>

 <li>The <code>release40</code> branch was made on Nov 01 '04 for use in the NetBeans 4.0 release.
 Specification versions: 5.0 begins after this point.</li>

         These API specification versions may be used to indicate that a module
         requires a certain API feature in order to function. For example, if you
         see here a feature you need which is labelled <samp>1.20</samp>, your
         manifest should contain in its main attributes the line:
       </p>

             Allows to enumerate Elements matching passed <code>ElementFilter</code> according

             Added an overloaded method to Code Generator should to include the

             Proper textual order of members should be used

 <br>

 <p>
                 OpenIDE Text API dependencies are removed, affecting <code>ModificationResult.Difference</code>
                 API class, whose interface <b>changed</b> incompatibly. The class now returns
                 <code>java.swing.text.Position</code> instead of <code>org.openide.text.PositionRef</code>
                 for the start and end positions.
             </p>

 <p>
                 For binary compatibility, an additional module <code>java.source.compat8</code> was created,
                 which provides compatible method that still returns <code>PositionRef</code>

 <p>
                 Runtime compatibility remains, compile time compatibility is
                 mostly preserved too. It is however recommended to upgrade
                 dependencies of client modules. Try running
                 <code>ant fix-dependencies</code> in your Ant module.

	<br>

	<p>
	OpenIDE Text API dependencies are removed, affecting <code>ModificationResult.Difference</code>
	API class, whose interface <b>changed</b> incompatibly. The class now returns
	<code>java.swing.text.Position</code> instead of <code>org.openide.text.PositionRef</code>
	for the start and end positions.
	</p>

	<p>
	For binary compatibility, an additional module <code>java.source.compat8</code> was created,
	which provides compatible method that still returns <code>PositionRef</code>

	<p>
	Runtime compatibility remains, compile time compatibility is
	mostly preserved too. It is however recommended to upgrade
	dependencies of client modules. Try running
	<code>ant fix-dependencies</code> in your Ant module.
