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

 b) "Important Compatible Changes": some important compatible changes can aslo be recorded
    in this file, and we can add these updating into release notes when we release this
    package.

EDK_4251: Non-Compatible: jwang36

      Class_BuildTool:
        1) Changed MYTOOLS to use Visual Studio Team Suite for IA32 and X64. IPF is still use WINDKK.
        2) Re-generated build.exe and GenFds.exe to incorporate new changes of build tools
        3) Enabled multi-thread build mode by default (can be disabled by using "-n 0" option or changing

        1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
        2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe
        3) BaseTools/Conf/target.template
        4) BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template

        Possible Impacts:
        1) Install Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Edition.

==========================================================================================
EDK_4190: Non-Compatible: jwang36

      Class_BuildTool:
        1) Added support of using PCD default value from DEC/INF file if one
				PCD is declared in INF file but not found in DSC file.
				2) Added support of breaking build if no library instance is found for
				a library class.
 
        Code Change :
        1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe
        2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe

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

==========================================================================================
EDK_4096: Non-Compatible: jwang36

      Class_BuildTool:
        1) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in edksetup.bat, unless
				"--nt32" switch is used.
				2) Added MAKE command in tools_def.txt. This is used to locate where
				the nmake.exe or make.exe is because it will not be in PATH any more.
				3) Removed the calling of vsvars32.bat in toolsetup.bat.
				4) Solved the hang issue of build.exe when error occurred or Ctrl+C is
				pressed.
				5) Passed "-v/-d/-q" command line option to GenFds.exe in makefile if
				it's used by build.exe.
 
        Code Change :
        1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe
        2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
        3) BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template
        4) BaseTools/toolsetup.bat
				5) edksetup.bat

        Possible Impacts:
        1) Nt32Pkg build needs to run vsvars32.bat before edksetup.bat or run
				edksetup.bat with "--nt32" option, like

						edksetup.bat --nt32 newbuild

				2) $(WORKSPACE)/Conf/tools_def.txt must be deleted before running
				edksetup.bat because of new tools_def.template. Otherwise the
				build.exe cannot find the nmake.exe to call.

        FILE statement list of the FV, For example:
        APRIORI PEI {
          INF  MdeModulePkg/Universal/PCD/Pei/Pcd.inf
          FILE PEIM = B7A5041A-78BA-49e3-B73B-54C757811FB6 {

          }
          INF  IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Universal/StatusCode/Pei/PeiStatusCode.inf
        }
        2) To add binary file described by INF file into FV, only insert the INF statement
        into the INF statements list of that FV, like this:
        
        INF RuleOverride=Test MdeModulePkg/Logo/Logo.inf
        
        Specifying how to process the binary file by defining corresponding Rule like this:
        [Rule.Common.Base.Test]
         FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
           COMPRESS PI_STD {
             GUIDED {
