|
||||
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:

||||
|
||||
Possible Impacts:
|
||||

|
||||
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.

||||

||||
}

||||
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:
|
||||
|
