-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Notes for this ChangeLog.txt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-This log file is used to record two kinds of important information:
- a) "Non-Compatible Changes": all non-compatible changes should be recorded. These info
- will help the package user to merge this package; and some non-compatible changes
- can also be added into release notes as news features when we release this package.
- Normally Non-Compatible Changes contains the following types:
- 1) Package's external services were changed/updated
- 2) Package's common .h file is renamed, deleted, or the file path is changed.
- 3) The definition of package's common data structure is changed
- ...
-
- b) "Important Compatible Changes": some important compatible changes can aslo be recorded
- in this file, and we can add these updating into release notes when we release this
- package.
-
-Non-Compatible and Compatible example format:
-==========================================================================================
-EDK_0010: Non-Compatible: owner

-
- Possible Impacts:
- 1) All modules that used this PPI A should be updated.
-
-==========================================================================================
-EDK_0000: Compatible: owner
-
- Class_BuildTool: with the EDK_0000 build.exe, the build performance is enhanced great.
-
- Code Change :
- 1) BaseTools\Bin\Win32\build.exe
-
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! End of Notes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-==========================================================================================
-EDK_4096: Non-Compatible: jwang36
-
- Class_BuildTool:
- 1) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in edksetup.bat, unless
- "--nt32" switch is used.
- 2) Added MAKE command in tools_def.txt. This is used to locate where
- the nmake.exe or make.exe is because it will not be in PATH any more.
- 3) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in toolsetup.bat.
- 4) Solved the hang issue of build.exe when error occurred or Ctrl+C is
- pressed.
- 5) Passed "-v/-d/-q" command line option to GenFds.exe in makefile if
- it's used by build.exe.
-
- Code Change :
- 1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe
- 2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
- 3) BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template
- 4) BaseTools/toolsetup.bat
- 5) edksetup.bat
-
- Possible Impacts:
- 1) Nt32Pkg build needs to run vsvars32.bat before edksetup.bat or run
- edksetup.bat with "--nt32" option, like
-
- edksetup.bat --nt32 newbuild
-
- 2) $(WORKSPACE)/Conf/tools_def.txt must be deleted before running
- edksetup.bat because of new tools_def.template. Otherwise the
- build.exe cannot find the nmake.exe to call.

-
-
- Code Change :
- 1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe
- 2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
-
- Possible Impacts:

- }
- 2) To add binary file described by INF file into FV, only insert the INF statement
- into the INF statements list of that FV, like this:
-
- INF RuleOverride=Test MdeModulePkg/Logo/Logo.inf
-
- Specifying how to process the binary file by defining corresponding Rule like this:
- [Rule.Common.Base.Test]
- FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
- COMPRESS PI_STD {
- GUIDED {
- RAW BIN |.bmp
- }
