Some amendments to API specifications are worth noticing, and may require changes in client code even though they are binary compatible. More information can be found in the associated bugzilla items:

• Method DefaultFileServiceCodePageConverter#convertFileFromRemoteEncoding() can now throw a RuntimeException when a remote file cannot be transcoded to the requested encoding without data loss [279014].
• Methods IService.initService() and ISubSystem.initializeSubSystem can now throw a SystemMessageException on error. As per the Java API compatibility guide, this is not strictly a change breaking binary compatibility, but it does break source compatibility. In other words, you'll need to update your sources when you recompile, though old compiled bundles will continue to run [272882].
• The TerminalState.OPENED state has been removed. This was provisional "internal" API, so this change does not constitute an official API change. Still, in order to properly support all update scenarios for consumers of the previous provisional API, the bundle version of org.eclipse.tm.terminal has been moved up to 3.0.0 [262996].
• The SshShellService, SshHostShell, TelnetShellService, TelnetHostShell and related classes have been removed and replaced by a generic Terminal-to-HostShell adapter which can re-use the functionality across the Telnet and SSH plugins. In order to ensure proper version computing on update, the following plugin versinos were changed:
  • org.eclipse.rse.services.ssh changed from 2.1.0 to 3.0.0
  • org.eclipse.rse.services.telnet changed from 1.1.0 to 2.0.0
  These changes do not indicate breaking public API since the removed classes were actually never API, but consumers should be aware of the probably unexpected major version bump, which was required due to the internal version dependency structure [261478].
