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