-      <p>
-          The org.eclipse.search bundle has been split into core and ui bundles. This will allow headless extenders to make use of the text search engine. 
-           </p>
+        <p>
+        The API method <code>org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ColumnViewer.setDisplayIncrementally(int incrementSize)</code> was added to
+        JFace. If <code>incrementSize</code> is set to some positive value, the viewer will initially show 
+        no more than this number of child elements per parent element.
+        Additionally, the viewer provides a mechanism for a user to show more elements, if available, as needed.
+        This API solves the problem with UI hangs in case a viewer tries to display a very large number of child elements per parent element.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+        This feature is currently implemented in <code>org.eclipse.jface.viewers.TableViewer</code> 
+        and <code>org.eclipse.jface.viewers.TreeViewer</code> but is not enabled by default;
+        <code>incrementSize</code> is <code>0</code> by default.
+        Each concrete viewer implementation is responsible to enable this feature if needed.
+        </p>
+        <p>Note that even though this feature is designed to be backwards compatible API,
+        there remains the possibility of regressions when converting existing viewer to use
+        the new API. Please fully test your code when enabling this functionality!

       <td class="content">
-      <p>
-          The org.eclipse.ui.ide.undo package in the org.eclipse.ui.ide bundle has been migrated into the core platform and is now available in the org.eclipse.core.resources.undo.snapshot package and it's internal counterpart. This has allowed JDT to move significant portions of their refactor and proposal logic into bundles more suited to a headless environment.

+        <ul>
+          <li>
+            <code>org.eclipse.osgi.services</code><br/>
+            Its content has been replaced by the official OSGi bundles published to Maven-Central and it only re-exports these <code>org.osgi.service.*</code> bundles.
+            Consumers are already encouraged to replace their requirements on the bundle <code>org.eclipse.osgi.services</code> with imports of the actual required <code>org.osgi.service.*</code> packages.
+            This allows the OSGi runtime to choose any suitable, available provider of the package.
+          </li>
+          <li>
+            <code>org.eclipse.equinox.device</code><br/>
+            This implementation of the <code>org.osgi.service.device</code> service is not known to have any users and did not receive updates in the past.
+            It is deprecated for removal from future releases without replacement.
+            In case there are users after all, they can continue to use past releases, use an alternative implementation, or get in contact with the Equinox team.
