94          <li class="new">The broadcast pattern as well as the standard macro &lt;cmtpath&gt; is now renamed &lt;package_cmtpath&gt; to avoid confusion with the CMTPATH variable on Windows.</li>

101        </ul>
102      </li>
103
104      <li>
105        <b>v1r14p20030620</b>
106        <ul>
107          <li class="new">introduce a generic "Unix" tag for all Unix platforms. Both Linux, HP-UX, LynxOS, alpha, ... do validate Unix</li>
108          <li class="new">hide the make_fragments declaration in private sections. This was not true previously. A make_fragment declaration installed in a private section will now be hidden to clients.</li>
109          <li class="bug">convert ${} into $() syntax for tag makefiles on Windows. This actually reverts to a feature of an old CMT version which had disappeared. This was causing a problem since the ${} syntax is not understood by nmake</li>
110          <li class="new">add a command "cmt show use_paths &lt;target&gt;" to display all possible paths to the target package. This is useful to understand how a given package is reached, for instance when it is desired to cut the use relationship and make it private somewhere in the graph.</li>
111          <li class="new">add a command "cmt show cycles" to display circular dependencies in the use graph.</li>
112          <li class="new">provide a binary RPM for CMT itself (only for redhat 7.2 distribution). It is downloadable from the usual Download page and provide a complete installation of CMT (including make fragments, binary, etc..). It is a relocatable RPM (install it using the --relocate option). (See the install WEB page for complete notice)</li>
113          <li class="new">Add an extended script to retrieve information about Linux version (cmt_linux_version.sh). It supports Redhat, Debian, Suse. It is used to compute the cmt_system_version macro (contributions from Clark McGrew and Wim Lavrijsen)</li>
114          <li class="bug">The setup scripts for Windows now use %TEMP% instead of %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% to store temporary files (contributions from Pere Mato and Florence Ranjard)</li>
115          <li class="new">Add the --public and --private global options for cmt commands, to control whether the use graph traverses or not the private sections:
116<pre>
117&gt; cmt --public ...
118</pre>
119       only sees public uses (default behavior for most commands but not for cmt broadcast and cmt show uses which traverse the private sub graphs)
120<pre>
121&gt; cmt --private ...
122</pre>   
123       forces the traversal of private subgraphs. This is already the default behavior for cmt show uses and for cmt broadcast, but can now be applied to any CMT command.</li>
124          <li class="bug">A global pattern specifying private sections did not really generate private definitions</li>
125        </ul>
