| <b><font color="#CC3333">Key Features and Goals</font></b> - The main goals |
| of NetBeans release 3.3 are: |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>Performance</b> improvement (most frequent negative feedback). <a href="http://performance.netbeans.org/">Read more.</a></li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <b>Stability</b> - The amount of open bugs should be lower than in 3.2, |
| when it was released. The final criteria were discussed on nbdev and they are: |
| <ul> |
| <li> <b>Beta quality</b> - |
| <ul> |
| <li> All known P1 bug resolved.</li> |
| <li> The backward compatibility of settings/project bugs resolved</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li> <b>Final Release Quality</b> -</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li> Beta quality criteria.</li> |
| <li> All known P1/P2 bug resolved. </li> |
| <li> The total number of open bugs defects not higher than 400. (This criterion is based on the requirement to release with 20% less open defects than there were at the time of the NB 3.2 release.)</li> |
| </ul> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <li><b>MDR</b> (Metadata repository) - as an experimental module</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| <b>Projects</b> implementation (see http://projects.netbeans.org/ps/index.html) |
| and major project will be based on new Projects (Java module, JSP, ...) - this feature was postponed - it will be implemented in NetBeans 4.0</li> |
| </ul> |
