   4 This log file is used to record two kinds of important information:
   5  a) "Non-Compatible Changes": all non-compatible changes should be recorded. These info
   6     will help the package user to merge this package; and some non-compatible changes
   7     can also be added into release notes as news features when we release this package.
   8     Normally Non-Compatible Changes contains the following types:
   9       1) Package's external services were changed/updated
  10       2) Package's common .h file is renamed, deleted, or the file path is changed.
  11       3) The definition of package's common data structure is changed
  12       ...
  13
  14  b) "Important Compatible Changes": some important compatible changes can aslo be recorded
  15     in this file, and we can add these updating into release notes when we release this

  82
  83       Class_BuildTool:

  85            line limitation
  86         2) Change the -s option of build from "SpawnMode" to be "SilentMode"
  87         3) Change the prototype of PeiCoreEntryPoint in AutoGen-ed code
  88         4) Remove CalcDeps module since it's no longer needed.
  89         5) Remove "-k", "-g" and "-l" switches from build
  90         6) Remove MULTIPLE_THREAD in target.template. Use MAX_CONCURRENT_THREAD_NUMBER
  91            to get the same functionality.
  92
  93         Code Change :
  94         1) /trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe
  95         1) /trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
  96
  97         Possible Impacts:
  98         1) The local version build_rule.txt must be updated with changes in build_rule.template
  99         2) Use "build -s" to pass "-s" switch to "make" tool to do silent "make".
 100            To suppress all message from stdout, use "build -q" instead.
 101         3) To get over the long command line limitation, use "@$(<FILE_TYPE>S_LIST)"
 102            in the place of ${src} for those commands encountering such kind of
 103            problem.
 104
 105 basetools_7009: Non-Compatible: jwang36
 106
 107       Class_BuildTool:
 108         1) Search value of Guid/Protocol/PPI in inf file only in the same category in dec file.

 116            section will encounter build break.
 117
 118 ==========================================================================================
 119 EDK_6930: Non-Compatible: jwang36
 120
 121       Class_BuildTool:
 122         1) Separate the AutoGen code for PCDs between module and its library instances.
 123            Only macros for module's PCDs will be put in AutoGen.h. Others will be put
 124            in AutoGen.c. This is intended to catch missed PCDs in inf file more easily.
 125         2) For better compatibile between C standards or C compiler, add type cast for
 126            PCD constants in AutoGen.h according to the PCD datum type.
 127         3) Add incremental generation capability for FV in GenFds tool.

 133         Possible Impacts:
 134         1) If there're PCDs used in a module but not declared in the module's inf file,
 135            and occasionally they are declared in the library instances, there must be
 136            a build break. Adding necessary PCDs declarations in the module's inf file
 137            will solve it.

 440       Class_BuildTool:
 441         1) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in edksetup.bat, unless
 442            "--nt32" switch is used.
 443         2) Added MAKE command in tools_def.txt. This is used to locate where
 444            the nmake.exe or make.exe is because it will not be in PATH any more.
 445         3) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in toolsetup.bat.
 446         4) Solved the hang issue of build.exe when error occurred or Ctrl+C is
 447            pressed.
 448         5) Passed "-v/-d/-q" command line option to GenFds.exe in makefile if

 456         5) edksetup.bat
 457
 458         Possible Impacts:
 459         1) Nt32Pkg build needs to run vsvars32.bat before edksetup.bat or run
 460            edksetup.bat with "--nt32" option, like
 461
 462            edksetup.bat --nt32 newbuild
 463
 464         2) $(WORKSPACE)/Conf/tools_def.txt must be deleted before running
 465            edksetup.bat because of new tools_def.template. Otherwise the
 466            build.exe cannot find the nmake.exe to call.

 521         Possible Impacts:
 522         1) To generate Apriori file in FV, insert APRIORI statement just before the INF or
 523         FILE statement list of the FV, For example:
 524         APRIORI PEI {
 525           INF  MdeModulePkg/Universal/PCD/Pei/Pcd.inf
 526           FILE PEIM = B7A5041A-78BA-49e3-B73B-54C757811FB6 {
 527                   SECTION PE32 = MyBinPkg\bin\ia32\PeimAfterPcd.efi
 528           }
 529           INF  IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Universal/StatusCode/Pei/PeiStatusCode.inf
 530         }
 531         2) To add binary file described by INF file into FV, only insert the INF statement
 532         into the INF statements list of that FV, like this:
 533
 534         INF RuleOverride=Test MdeModulePkg/Logo/Logo.inf
 535
 536         Specifying how to process the binary file by defining corresponding Rule like this:

 538          FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
 539            COMPRESS PI_STD {
