   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 EDK_6930: Non-Compatible: jwang36
  82
  83       Class_BuildTool:
  84         1) Separate the AutoGen code for PCDs between module and its library instances.
  85            Only macros for module's PCDs will be put in AutoGen.h. Others will be put
  86            in AutoGen.c. This is intended to catch missed PCDs in inf file more easily.
  87         2) For better compatibile between C standards or C compiler, add type cast for
  88            PCD constants in AutoGen.h according to the PCD datum type.
  89         3) Add incremental generation capability for FV in GenFds tool.

  94
  95         Possible Impacts:
  96         1) If there're PCDs used in a module but not declared in the module's inf file,
  97            and occasionally they are declared in the library instances, there must be
  98            a build break. Adding necessary PCDs declarations in the module's inf file
  99            will solve it.

 383       Class_BuildTool:
 384         1) Added support of using PCD default value from DEC/INF file if one
 385            PCD is declared in INF file but not found in DSC file.
 386         2) Added support of breaking build if no library instance is found for
 387            a library class.
 388

 392
 393         Possible Impacts:
 394         1) All packages/platforms/modules, which have wrong library classes
 395            declared or have no library instance for some library classes, must be
 396            changed to make sure each library class declared in INF file has

 402       Class_BuildTool:
 403         1) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in edksetup.bat, unless
 404            "--nt32" switch is used.
 405         2) Added MAKE command in tools_def.txt. This is used to locate where
 406            the nmake.exe or make.exe is because it will not be in PATH any more.
 407         3) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in toolsetup.bat.
 408         4) Solved the hang issue of build.exe when error occurred or Ctrl+C is
 409            pressed.
 410         5) Passed "-v/-d/-q" command line option to GenFds.exe in makefile if
 411            it's used by build.exe.

 418         5) edksetup.bat
 419
 420         Possible Impacts:
 421         1) Nt32Pkg build needs to run vsvars32.bat before edksetup.bat or run
 422            edksetup.bat with "--nt32" option, like
 423
 424            edksetup.bat --nt32 newbuild
 425
 426         2) $(WORKSPACE)/Conf/tools_def.txt must be deleted before running
 427            edksetup.bat because of new tools_def.template. Otherwise the
 428            build.exe cannot find the nmake.exe to call.

 482
 483         Possible Impacts:
 484         1) To generate Apriori file in FV, insert APRIORI statement just before the INF or
 485         FILE statement list of the FV, For example:
 486         APRIORI PEI {
 487           INF  MdeModulePkg/Universal/PCD/Pei/Pcd.inf
 488           FILE PEIM = B7A5041A-78BA-49e3-B73B-54C757811FB6 {
 489                   SECTION PE32 = MyBinPkg\bin\ia32\PeimAfterPcd.efi
 490           }
 491           INF  IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Universal/StatusCode/Pei/PeiStatusCode.inf
 492         }
 493         2) To add binary file described by INF file into FV, only insert the INF statement
 494         into the INF statements list of that FV, like this:
 495
 496         INF RuleOverride=Test MdeModulePkg/Logo/Logo.inf
 497
 498         Specifying how to process the binary file by defining corresponding Rule like this:

 501            COMPRESS PI_STD {
