Description Steffen Pingel CLA 2008-05-22 00:15:06 EDT 
Notes are currently stored in the task list and kept in memory. This has performance implications if the large amounts of text are kept in the notes. It would beneficial to store notes in a separate file on disk and load it on demand (i.e. when the task editor is opened).
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2008-05-22 00:55:16 EDT 
Removed getNotes() and setNotes() from ITask. 

Mylyn currently supports using notes in the commit comment which now requires team.ui to use tasks.core internals. I am not sure if that support makes sense or if that feature can be removed?

Is notes still saved in task list xml and backed up as before? It would be really shame to lose all the notes that been created on various tasks.
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2008-05-30 04:04:07 EDT 
Yes, notes are still saved in the task list. The only thing that has changed is that the API for accessing notes has been removed.
