<h1>Eclipse Project 4.3 M2 - New and Noteworthy</h1>

<tr id="detached-sash">
<td class="title">Detached windows with sash</td>
<td class="content">
When you detach a view or editor into its own separate window, it now
has all the capabilities of a normal workbench window. They now support multiple stacks of
views separated by sashes with arbitrary layouts. The detached parts will remain synchronized
with the master window that they were detached from. This is especially handy for people developing
with two or more monitors, so they can spread views across several monitors and keep them synchronized.
