| <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> |
| <pre>OpenIDE-Module-Module-Dependencies: org.openide.options > 1.20</pre> |

| <em>Apr 25 '01; affected top-level classes: <code>org.openide.options.ControlPanel</code></em> |
| <br> |
| Methods <code>ControlPanel.add(SystemOption)</code> and |
| <code>ControlPanel.remove(SystemOption)</code> are deprecated now. |
| <br> |
| <strong>Compatibility: </strong> |
| Their functionality can be obtained by using a declaration in a manifest |
| file. |

| <em>Feb 25 '00; affected top-level classes: <a href="./org/openide/options/ContextSystemOption.html"><code>ContextSystemOption</code></a></em> |
| <br> |
| Protected field <code>beanContext</code> has changed type. The previous |
| type was an inaccessible class, which was an API bug; it is now the |
| public superclass. |
| <br> |
| <strong>Compatibility: </strong> |
| Should be source-compatible. Binary-incompatible for subclasses of |
| <code>ContextSystemOption</code> directly accessing this field; but use |
| of this field is probably unnecessary as <code>addOption</code> and |
| <code>removeOption</code> are the normal public methods to manipulate |
| the children. As of May 22 '01 the field is |
| deprecated. |
