5.0.0-M3 Milestone Overview

[bmicklea]

Milestone Overview

This is a feature release which includes:

• New stack editor in the user dashboard
• Expanded workspace configuration in the dashboard
• Smoothing and simplifying of the user interface
• Support for the Codenvy/Microsoft/RedHat language server protocol standard
• Upgrade to Orion 12
• Consolidated database

Upgrade and Migration

This is a pre-GA milestone in the new Che 5 stream.

Due to a fundamental model change that allows us to deliver multi-machine support, it will only be possible to migrate 4.7.2 workspaces to 5.0.0 at GA (users who wish to try 5.0.0 milestone releases today will have to create new workspaces).

Docker Image Tags
While 5.0 is pre-GA the :latest tags on our Docker images will continue to point to 4.7.1. We will also create a new 5.0.0-latest tag to make it easier to try each 5.0.0 milestone release.

For more information about our development process please see our development process page.

Schedule

This release is an internal-only release which will not be shipped or marketed. This will allow us to address any bugs found in post-release testing in the 5.0.0-M4 release before shipping.
