   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
  16     package.

  81 basetools_7009: Non-Compatible: jwang36
  82
  83       Class_BuildTool:
  84         1) Search value of Guid/Protocol/PPI in inf file only in the same category in dec file.
  85         2) Pass all files in a module's directory to StrGather for R8 modules.
  86
  87         Code Change :
  88         1) /trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe

  91         1) Those inf files in which the PPI/Protocol/Guid are put in incorrect
  92            section will encounter build break.
  93
  94 ==========================================================================================
  95 EDK_6930: Non-Compatible: jwang36
  96
  97       Class_BuildTool:
  98         1) Separate the AutoGen code for PCDs between module and its library instances.
  99            Only macros for module's PCDs will be put in AutoGen.h. Others will be put
 100            in AutoGen.c. This is intended to catch missed PCDs in inf file more easily.
 101         2) For better compatibile between C standards or C compiler, add type cast for
 102            PCD constants in AutoGen.h according to the PCD datum type.
 103         3) Add incremental generation capability for FV in GenFds tool.

 110         1) If there're PCDs used in a module but not declared in the module's inf file,
 111            and occasionally they are declared in the library instances, there must be
 112            a build break. Adding necessary PCDs declarations in the module's inf file
 113            will solve it.

 397       Class_BuildTool:
 398         1) Added support of using PCD default value from DEC/INF file if one
 399            PCD is declared in INF file but not found in DSC file.
 400         2) Added support of breaking build if no library instance is found for
 401            a library class.
 402
 403         Code Change :

 405         2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
 406
 407         Possible Impacts:
 408         1) All packages/platforms/modules, which have wrong library classes
 409            declared or have no library instance for some library classes, must be
 410            changed to make sure each library class declared in INF file has

 416       Class_BuildTool:
 417         1) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in edksetup.bat, unless
 418            "--nt32" switch is used.
 419         2) Added MAKE command in tools_def.txt. This is used to locate where
 420            the nmake.exe or make.exe is because it will not be in PATH any more.
 421         3) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in toolsetup.bat.
 422         4) Solved the hang issue of build.exe when error occurred or Ctrl+C is
 423            pressed.
 424         5) Passed "-v/-d/-q" command line option to GenFds.exe in makefile if
 425            it's used by build.exe.
 426
 427         Code Change :

 431         4) BaseTools/toolsetup.bat
 432         5) edksetup.bat
 433
 434         Possible Impacts:
 435         1) Nt32Pkg build needs to run vsvars32.bat before edksetup.bat or run
 436            edksetup.bat with "--nt32" option, like
 437
 438            edksetup.bat --nt32 newbuild
 439
 440         2) $(WORKSPACE)/Conf/tools_def.txt must be deleted before running
 441            edksetup.bat because of new tools_def.template. Otherwise the
 442            build.exe cannot find the nmake.exe to call.

 475
 476         Possible Impacts:
 477         1) To generate capsule, insert [Capsule] section after [FV] sections and specifying
 478         what FV will be put into capsule, For example:
 479         [Capsule.Fob]
 480         CAPSULE_GUID = 3B6686BD-0D76-4030-B70E-B5519E2FC5A0

 496
 497         Possible Impacts:
 498         1) To generate Apriori file in FV, insert APRIORI statement just before the INF or
 499         FILE statement list of the FV, For example:
 500         APRIORI PEI {
 501           INF  MdeModulePkg/Universal/PCD/Pei/Pcd.inf
 502           FILE PEIM = B7A5041A-78BA-49e3-B73B-54C757811FB6 {
 503                   SECTION PE32 = MyBinPkg\bin\ia32\PeimAfterPcd.efi
 504           }
 505           INF  IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Universal/StatusCode/Pei/PeiStatusCode.inf
 506         }
 507         2) To add binary file described by INF file into FV, only insert the INF statement
 508         into the INF statements list of that FV, like this:
 509
 510         INF RuleOverride=Test MdeModulePkg/Logo/Logo.inf
 511
 512         Specifying how to process the binary file by defining corresponding Rule like this:
 513         [Rule.Common.Base.Test]
 514          FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
 515            COMPRESS PI_STD {
