   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.

 148
 149       Class_BuildTool:
 150         1) Separate the AutoGen code for PCDs between module and its library instances.
 151            Only macros for module's PCDs will be put in AutoGen.h. Others will be put
 152            in AutoGen.c. This is intended to catch missed PCDs in inf file more easily.
 153         2) For better compatibile between C standards or C compiler, add type cast for
 154            PCD constants in AutoGen.h according to the PCD datum type.
 155         3) Add incremental generation capability for FV in GenFds tool.

 163            and occasionally they are declared in the library instances, there must be
 164            a build break. Adding necessary PCDs declarations in the module's inf file
 165            will solve it.

 550         1) To generate Apriori file in FV, insert APRIORI statement just before the INF or
 551         FILE statement list of the FV, For example:
 552         APRIORI PEI {
 553           INF  MdeModulePkg/Universal/PCD/Pei/Pcd.inf
 554           FILE PEIM = B7A5041A-78BA-49e3-B73B-54C757811FB6 {

 558         }
 559         2) To add binary file described by INF file into FV, only insert the INF statement
 560         into the INF statements list of that FV, like this:
