!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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
