on May 13th, 2009Eclipse Galileo is Coming Soon!
It’s that time of year again… we’re getting close to release time at Eclipse!
This year we have a fancy new webpage and logo for Galileo:
We also have a Twitter Birdsnest for the Twitterati out there:
As a reminder, it’s possible to get involved with Galileo before it’s released by helping test Galileo! Eclipse committers appreciate the level of testing from our users, so why not help and do some testing!?
See you June 24th!
Oh also, Friends of Eclipse get access to Galileo earlier. So please donate!
btw, Galileo date is June 24th. I hope you aren’t planning to be late.
Thanks Ian, I made the correction
You should totally get a Gravatar while you’re here!
In some ways I think we should be promoting the community testing a lot sooner. The main reason, is that waiting until M7 and the RC1 candidates, makes it very difficult to fix any bugs that are found. The sooner we promote testing the better we can make the product.
David, we try to do this every year. This year we started to provide Galileo builds at M5.
I think this is something we can aim to improve next year.
Intellij IDEA has had some performance issues with v8.
Is Galileo going to make me want to not upgrade to v9?
Joe, that’s up to you, so why don’t you give Galileo a try yourself!?
Where can I find the changelog? I want to know what are the new features and enhancements of Galileo. I can’t find that information on eclipse.org.
Is a little hidden the improvements.
Here you can glimpse some of them: http://www.bigsoft.co.uk/blog/index.php/2008/12/10/eclipse-3-5-galileo-new-and-noteworthy
