!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!               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.

EDK_7529: Non-Compatible: jwang36

      Class_BuildTool:
        1) Use FAMILY defined in *_TAGNAME_*_*_FAMILY as the toolchain family
        2) Force file name case check in Windows
        3) Consolidate file/path operations
        4) Support binary file type in build_rule.txt
        5) Generate $(FILE_TYPES) macro only when it's used in build_rule.txt
        6) Use build_rule.txt to solve customized build for USER_DEFINED module

           updated with the change in new build_rule.template.
        2) The case of file path must be the same as in file system, or the build
           will break.

EDK_7159: Non-Compatible: jwang36

      Class_BuildTool:
        1) Re-fine and fully test the mechanism of getting over the long command
           line limitation

        1) /trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe
        1) /trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe

        Possible Impacts:
        1) The local version build_rule.txt must be updated with changes in build_rule.template
        2) Use "build -s" to pass "-s" switch to "make" tool to do silent "make".
           To suppress all message from stdout, use "build -q" instead.
        3) To get over the long command line limitation, use "@$(<FILE_TYPE>S_LIST)"
           in the place of ${src} for those commands encountering such kind of
           problem.

==========================================================================================
EDK_6930: Non-Compatible: jwang36

      Class_BuildTool:
        1) Separate the AutoGen code for PCDs between module and its library instances.
           Only macros for module's PCDs will be put in AutoGen.h. Others will be put
           in AutoGen.c. This is intended to catch missed PCDs in inf file more easily.
        2) For better compatibile between C standards or C compiler, add type cast for
           PCD constants in AutoGen.h according to the PCD datum type.
        3) Add incremental generation capability for FV in GenFds tool.

        Code Change :
        1) /trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe

           and occasionally they are declared in the library instances, there must be
           a build break. Adding necessary PCDs declarations in the module's inf file
           will solve it.

        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.

      Class_BuildTool:
        1) Added support of Capsule generation from FDF file.

        Code Change :

        Possible Impacts:
        1) To generate capsule, insert [Capsule] section after [FV] sections and specifying
        what FV will be put into capsule, For example:
        [Capsule.Fob]
        CAPSULE_GUID = 3B6686BD-0D76-4030-B70E-B5519E2FC5A0

      Class_BuildTool:
        1) Added support of Apriori file generation from FDF file.
        2) Added support of INF that describes binary files to put binary into FV.
        3) Fixed single FV/FD generation error when specifying -i/-r option in GenFds.


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

        Possible Impacts:
        1) To generate Apriori file in FV, insert APRIORI statement just before the INF or
        FILE statement list of the FV, For example:
        APRIORI PEI {
          INF  MdeModulePkg/Universal/PCD/Pei/Pcd.inf
          FILE PEIM = B7A5041A-78BA-49e3-B73B-54C757811FB6 {
                  SECTION PE32 = MyBinPkg\bin\ia32\PeimAfterPcd.efi
          }
          INF  IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Universal/StatusCode/Pei/PeiStatusCode.inf
        }
        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
             }
           }
         }

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

        Possible Impacts:
        1) All platform's FDF file, if any, must be changed to new format.
          a) PCD format is changed from old PcdName to new PcdTokenSpaceGuid.PcdName,
             for example PcdWinNtFdBaseAddress in old FDF file will be replaced

          b) Rule format adds binary file type and file postfix name support,
             and doesn't require the full file path. Examples for Peim and AcpiTable module:
          Old Peim Rule:
          [Rule.Common.PEIM]
          FILE PEIM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
             PEI_DEPEX Optional        $(INF_OUTPUT)/$(MODULE_NAME).Depex
             PE32                      $(INF_OUTPUT)/$(MODULE_NAME).efi
             UI Optional               $(MODULE_NAME)
             VERSION Optional          BUILD_NUM=$(BUILD_NUMBER) $(INF_VERSION)

            FILE PEIM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
               PEI_DEPEX PEI_DEPEX Optional        |.Depex
               PE32      PE32                      |.efi
               UI       STRING="$(MODULE_NAME)" Optional
               VERSION  STRING="$(INF_VERSION)" Optional BUILD_NUM=$(BUILD_NUMBER)
            }

          Old AcpiTable Rule:
          [Rule.Common.DXE_DRIVER.ACPITABLE]
            FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
              RAW                    $(INF_OUTPUT)/Madt.acpi
              RAW                    $(INF_OUTPUT)/Fadt.acpi
              RAW                    $(INF_OUTPUT)/Facs.acpi

              RAW                    $(INF_OUTPUT)/Dsdt.aml
            }
          New AcpiTable Rule:
          [Rule.Common.DXE_DRIVER.ACPITABLE]
            FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
              RAW ACPI |.acpi
