Milestone Plans

For past milestones, see the Changelog.

As part of our 6-9 month roadmap, we are restructuring the underlying workspace model to support workspaces with multiple machines, dynamically deployed agents to make base images lighter, virtual file system so editors and IDEs can be notified of changes made by other clients, a new Chefile capability which provides a Vagrant-style workflow for Che workspaces, and consolidated support for an underlying database model.

##5.2.0 (latest) Milestone Details: https://github.com/eclipse/che/issues/3976

Primary Goals

Docker Compose Support in Chefiles: Multi-machine workspaces automatically generated from your repo.
Multi-Che Support: Easily run multiple Che instances on the same host.
File-Context Git Actions: File context menu for common git actions.
PHP Composer: Support for the popular PHP scaffolding utility.
Updated PHP Tutorial: Try all the new PHP intellisense and debugging.
Memory & Disk Checks on Startup: Resource checks when starting Che.
Networking Checks on Startup: Checks browser to workspace and server to workspace connectivity to avoid common network issues.
Improved CLI Output: More detail has been added to the info command plus you can generate a diagnostic snapshot for problems.
CPU Limiting for Docker Builds: Docker builds can be CPU intensive so they now carry CPU limits to prevent starving other workspaces.
Restart a Failed Workspace: You can now easily restart workspaces that didn’t start correctly the first time.
Python Intellisense: Syntax highlighting and hover-over help docs.
