55
56 <li class="new">
57 Add a touch functionnality, e.g. <tt>cvs co -t package</tt>, during cvs checkout, this is mainly due that cvs keeps the file
58 timestamps so that build tools, i.d. make, can not recognize it as "new". The "best" default behaviour is for it to set the filestamp
59 to the checkout time.</li>
60
61 <li class="new"> Add the support on Linux/make for creating separate directory for libraries/constituents.
62 To be Atlas compliant, this strategy is not built by default you should called explicitely the STRUCTURED_OUTPUT option, e.g.
63 <tt>make STRUCTURED_OUTPUT=1</tt>. For more informations see the following <a href="http://trac.lal.in2p3.fr/CMT/ticket/10">Bug
64 report</a>.</li>
65
66 <li class="new"> Supress the n repeated entries in the CMTPATH after the first found occurence.</li>
67
68 <li class="int"> Add the cvs <tt>"-f"</tt> option which force cvs to ignore the user .cvsrc file during cvs
69 command execution. It appears to create problem with the cmtcvs plugin and empty directories
70 within cvs.</li>
71
72 <li class="int">Translate symlinks for the <tt>cmt show packages</tt> command.<li>
73
74 <li class="bug"> Bring a better support for the cmt checkout operation to bypass cvs weird behaviours, e.g. chekout
75 localy a directory whithout any files inside creates nothing.</li>
76
77 <li class="bug"> Correct problems when checkouting successively the same package with a different tag in the
78 <tt>without version directory</tt>mode.</li>
79
80 <li class="bug">Compute the project of the package when expanding the <project> template to fix packages with offset .</li>

96
97 <li class="new">Add a new standard macro definition
98 <tt>$(q)</tt> to hold a double quote. This is useful to
99 define symbol values that contin doublequotes so as they are
100 not filtered out by CMT. Typical usage is to cope with paths
101 containing spaces on Windows. Various fixes have been done
102 to improve the support of spaces in paths</li>
103
104 <li class="new">The <tt>pacman</tt> source file for CMT now
105 includes a constraint on the version of Pacman.</li>
106
107 <li class="bug">Added a mechanism to filter out bad items in
108 a PATH symbol. This was causing troubles at <tt>source
109 setup</tt> time</li>

116
117 <li class="bug">Added a protection against single level

119
120 <li class="bug">Added a protection against unexisting
121 makefile fragments when running the <tt>clean</tt> target.</li>
122
123 <li class="bug">The definition of standard macros was not
124 properly set when using the <tt>cmt broadcast</tt>
125 command. Thus environment variables where badly preset.</li>
126
127 <li class="int">Improve the automatic preparation of CMT releases</li>
128
129 <li class="int">The internal <tt>Makefile</tt> structure has

149 create</tt> or the <tt>cmt co</tt> commands is affected by
150 the specification of the structuring style or of the
151 structuring strategy.</li>
152
153 <li class="new">Introduce a new strategy structure_strategy
154 with only one value with/out_version_directory. This is
155 mostly useful when installed in a project file to condition
156 the behaviour of package creation afterwards</li>
157
158 <li class="new">Support dependency building using external
159 tools such as cpp -M. Fix the cmt_build_des.sh wrapper
160 script to properly format the command output.</li>
161
162 <li class="new">Perform the cmt checkout onto a project even
163 if the basic directory structure of the project is already
164 in place.</li>
165
166 <li class="new">When no current project is defined the
167 strategies are taken from the top project (eg obtained from
168 the CMTPATH)</li>
169
170 <li class="new">The include_dirs statement can now be hidden
171 in a private section.</li>

173 <li class="new">The include_dirs statement now accepts a
174 macro reference as its value</li>

182
183 <li class="bug">Fix a typo in cmt_uninstall_action.bat
184 resulting in bad management of make cleanup on Windows</li>
185
186 <li class="bug">When creating a parent-less project, link it
187 to exisiting top project(s) and upgrade strategies
188 accordingly. Avoid confusions when mixing explicit CMTPATH,
189 CMTPROJECTPATH and project files </li>
190

221
222 <li class="new">Fill in a pacman cache for CMT using pacman3
223 syntax. The Pacman package name is CMT.</li>
224
225 <li class="new">Extend the recursive checkout mechanism to
226 projects. The recursivity covers the use relationships
227 between projects and propagates to packges of a project when
228 the container package is specified in the project file.</li>
229
230 <li class="new">Add the cvssubprojects query command to
231 retrieve subprojects at a CVS repository level</li>
232
233 <li class="new">Add a container statement in project
234 file. The syntax is like use statements. It indicates that a
235 container-like package exists in the project. This is useful
236 for recursive checkout operations.</li>
237
238 <li class="int">Migrate to a new version of the CVS
239 pluggin. Now the protocol level is explicitly referenced
240 when sending CVS requests via the pluggin. The new protocol
241 gives the nature of the CVS module: is it a project or a
242 package. The protocol level is specified in a dedicated
243 macro in the CMT requirements file.</li>
244
245 <li class="bug">Fix the production of shared libraries on CYGWIN</li>
246
247 <li class="bug">Fix ambiguities between physical paths and
248 logical paths in PATH variables management</li>

268
269 <li class="new">Accept HEAD or head as a valid version tag for packages</li>
270
271 <li class="new">The path of CMT is removed from
272 CMTPATH. Packages aside CMT are no longer reachable by
273 default</li>
274
275 <li class="new">Major restructuring of the project
276 management and package localisation. The most important
277 parameter becomes the search path CMTPROJECTPATH for
278 projects. Then CMTPATH is deduced from the effective list of
279 used projects. Project files and the dependency graph
280 described by the project use statement becomes a central
281 mechanism.</li>
282
283 <li class="new">Introduce the management of releases for
284 projects. Release must exactly match</li>
285
286 <li class="new">Install a mechanism to detect unused tags
287 from arguments or CMTSITE. This is performed during the
288 setup generation</li>

331 strategy to control the generation of ROOT or CONFIG
332 env. variables.</li>

335
336 <li class="new">${CMTROOT} is no longer an automatic part of
337 the CMTPATH. Nor the current package automatically defines
338 an entry in the CMTPATH search list. However a feature
339 partly compensates this evolution: the current project
340 (i.e. the current package area, where the developer stands)
341 is autmatically detected when its project file exists
342 (i.e. when its cmt/project.cmt file exists). For instance,
343 this suppresses the need to set CMTPATH when working in one
344 single project.</li>
345
346 <li class="new">The general cmt command parsing mechanism
347 has been revisited and now "actions" are considered as
348 extended cmt commands and no longer need the "cmt do
349 &lt;action&gt;" syntax. One can directly use "cmt
350 &lt;action&gt;" when the action does not conflict with
351 internal cmt commands.</li>
352
353 <li class="new">Command line arguments are transmitted to
354 "actions" now through the new standard "cmt_args" macro</li>
355
356 <li class="bug">Really force the settings of all
357 Env. variables before running internal cmmands through
358 broadcast, run or do commands.</li>
359
360 <li class="new">The "cmt run" command transmits all its
361 arguments to the launched action</li>
362
363 <li class="new">Revisit the production of dependency files,
364 to consider the changes made to the configuration in general
365 in addition to the usual source changes. This consists in
366 generating one stamp file per source, touched when its
367 contents change rather than when recomputing the
368 dependencies.</li>
369
370 <li class="bug">Better protections for CMTPATH entries</li>
371
372 <li class="int">Major internal restructuring of the CMT
373 package. Internal sources are now in ../source, ../src only
374 contains publicly exported configuration files, fragments
375 are in ../mgr/fragments. This is for constructing a really
376 autonomous binary kit for CMT (eg for Fink) (without needing
377 to export two kits)</li>
378
379 <li class="bug">Now produce the last revision date of the
380 CMT documentation. Insert the complete version tag rather
381 than just the base version tag.</li>
382
383 <li class="new">Suppress the systematic production of
384 bundles on Darwin machines. This must now be done
385 explicitly.</li>
386
387 <li class="bug">The algorithm for commpressing paths with
388 ../ patterns now takes into account the presence of ${xxx}
389 expressions that cannot be reduced. It also better handle
390 various patterns that used to produce failures.</li>
391
392 <li class="bug">A global checking of the configuration is
393 performed first when running Make</li>
394
395 <li class="new">Incompatible major ids in the version
396 numbers are now managed like the minor id, ie. the decision
397 is taken in a similar way. The usual error message is
398 displayed but this is no longer fatal, and a decision is
399 taken</li>

429 expand model to support model files freely formatted. This
430 implied securing the user defined model elements by the
