55	Add the fix recommend by M. Franck to deal with extern c data on visual/windows.
56
57	<li class="new">Add a PEDANTIC option for building,e.g make PEDANTIC=1 which stops directly after detecting a missing file or target. It suposes to prevent from infinite loop.</li>
58
59	<li class="new">Add a new cmt command "relocate" which generates only setup scripts whithout regenerating makefiles.</li>
60
61	<li class="new">Add support for a <project> template in patterns.</li>
62
63
64	<li class="int">Remove only the specific makefiles depending on the platform, e.g. remove .make on linux and .nmake on windows during the cmt config command.</li>
65
66	<li class="bug">Do the exact mathing for tag during recursive checkout operation (thanks to David Chamont).</li>

102
103	<li class="new">Add a new standard macro definition
104	<tt>$(q)</tt> to hold a double quote. This is useful to
105	define symbol values that contin doublequotes so as they are
106	not filtered out by CMT. Typical usage is to cope with paths
107	containing spaces on Windows. Various fixes have been done
108	to improve the support of spaces in paths</li>
109
110	<li class="new">The <tt>pacman</tt> source file for CMT now
111	includes a constraint on the version of Pacman.</li>
112
113	<li class="bug">Added a mechanism to filter out bad items in
114	a PATH symbol. This was causing troubles at <tt>source

124	directories in CMTPATH</li>
125
126	<li class="bug">Added a protection against unexisting
127	makefile fragments when running the <tt>clean</tt> target.</li>
128
129	<li class="bug">The definition of standard macros was not
130	properly set when using the <tt>cmt broadcast</tt>
131	command. Thus environment variables where badly preset.</li>
132
133	<li class="int">Improve the automatic preparation of CMT releases</li>
134
135	<li class="int">The internal <tt>Makefile</tt> structure has

154	<li class="new">Package creation (either from the <tt>cmt
155	create</tt> or the <tt>cmt co</tt> commands is affected by
156	the specification of the structuring style or of the
157	structuring strategy.</li>
158
159	<li class="new">Introduce a new strategy structure_strategy
160	with only one value with/out_version_directory. This is
161	mostly useful when installed in a project file to condition
162	the behaviour of package creation afterwards</li>
163
164	<li class="new">Support dependency building using external
165	tools such as cpp -M. Fix the cmt_build_des.sh wrapper
166	script to properly format the command output.</li>
167

169	if the basic directory structure of the project is already
170	in place.</li>

187	<li class="bug">Protect against missing un/install targets</li>
188
189	<li class="bug">Fix a typo in cmt_uninstall_action.bat
190	resulting in bad management of make cleanup on Windows</li>
191
192	<li class="bug">When creating a parent-less project, link it
193	to exisiting top project(s) and upgrade strategies
194	accordingly. Avoid confusions when mixing explicit CMTPATH,
195	CMTPROJECTPATH and project files </li>

229	syntax. The Pacman package name is CMT.</li>
230
231	<li class="new">Extend the recursive checkout mechanism to
232	projects. The recursivity covers the use relationships
233	between projects and propagates to packges of a project when
234	the container package is specified in the project file.</li>
235
236	<li class="new">Add the cvssubprojects query command to
237	retrieve subprojects at a CVS repository level</li>
238
239	<li class="new">Add a container statement in project
240	file. The syntax is like use statements. It indicates that a
241	container-like package exists in the project. This is useful
242	for recursive checkout operations.</li>
243
244	<li class="int">Migrate to a new version of the CVS
245	pluggin. Now the protocol level is explicitly referenced
246	when sending CVS requests via the pluggin. The new protocol
247	gives the nature of the CVS module: is it a project or a
248	package. The protocol level is specified in a dedicated
249	macro in the CMT requirements file.</li>
250

274
275	<li class="new">Accept HEAD or head as a valid version tag for packages</li>
276
277	<li class="new">The path of CMT is removed from
278	CMTPATH. Packages aside CMT are no longer reachable by
279	default</li>
280
281	<li class="new">Major restructuring of the project
282	management and package localisation. The most important
283	parameter becomes the search path CMTPROJECTPATH for
284	projects. Then CMTPATH is deduced from the effective list of
285	used projects. Project files and the dependency graph
286	described by the project use statement becomes a central
287	mechanism.</li>
288
289	<li class="new">Introduce the management of releases for
290	projects. Release must exactly match</li>
291
292	<li class="new">Install a mechanism to detect unused tags
293	from arguments or CMTSITE. This is performed during the

335

337	strategy to control the generation of ROOT or CONFIG
338	env. variables.</li>
339
340	<li class="new">Change default build strategy to <tt>without_installarea</tt></li>
341
342	<li class="new">${CMTROOT} is no longer an automatic part of
343	the CMTPATH. Nor the current package automatically defines
344	an entry in the CMTPATH search list. However a feature
345	partly compensates this evolution: the current project
346	(i.e. the current package area, where the developer stands)
347	is autmatically detected when its project file exists
348	(i.e. when its cmt/project.cmt file exists). For instance,
349	this suppresses the need to set CMTPATH when working in one
350	single project.</li>
351
352	<li class="new">The general cmt command parsing mechanism
353	has been revisited and now "actions" are considered as
354	extended cmt commands and no longer need the "cmt do
355	<action>" syntax. One can directly use "cmt
356	<action>" when the action does not conflict with
357	internal cmt commands.</li>
358
359	<li class="new">Command line arguments are transmitted to
360	"actions" now through the new standard "cmt_args" macro</li>
361
362	<li class="bug">Really force the settings of all
363	Env. variables before running internal cmmands through
364	broadcast, run or do commands.</li>
365
366	<li class="new">The "cmt run" command transmits all its
367	arguments to the launched action</li>
368
369	<li class="new">Revisit the production of dependency files,
370	to consider the changes made to the configuration in general
371	in addition to the usual source changes. This consists in
372	generating one stamp file per source, touched when its
373	contents change rather than when recomputing the
374	dependencies.</li>
375
376	<li class="bug">Better protections for CMTPATH entries</li>
377
378	<li class="int">Major internal restructuring of the CMT
379	package. Internal sources are now in ../source, ../src only
380	contains publicly exported configuration files, fragments
381	are in ../mgr/fragments. This is for constructing a really
382	autonomous binary kit for CMT (eg for Fink) (without needing
383	to export two kits)</li>
384
385	<li class="bug">Now produce the last revision date of the
386	CMT documentation. Insert the complete version tag rather
387	than just the base version tag.</li>
388
389	<li class="new">Suppress the systematic production of
390	bundles on Darwin machines. This must now be done
391	explicitly.</li>
392
393	<li class="bug">The algorithm for commpressing paths with
394	../ patterns now takes into account the presence of ${xxx}
395	expressions that cannot be reduced. It also better handle
396	various patterns that used to produce failures.</li>
397
398	<li class="bug">A global checking of the configuration is
399	performed first when running Make</li>
400
401	<li class="new">Incompatible major ids in the version
402	numbers are now managed like the minor id, ie. the decision
403	is taken in a similar way. The usual error message is
404	displayed but this is no longer fatal, and a decision is
405	taken</li>

582	<tt>make QUICK=1</tt> option is used</li>
583
584	<li class="new">New <i>action</i> concept to support
585	simplified shell action definition. Action is an extension
586	of the generic symbol mechanism (like macros), thus defining
587	an action uses the same syntax as macros. Actions are
588	triggered with <tt>make</tt> or <tt>cmt do</tt></li>
589
590	<li class="new"><i>public</i> and <i>private</i> section can be ended by a
591	new keyword <tt>end_public</tt> <tt>end_private</tt>. Ending

593	most recent opening keyword</li>
594
595	<li class="new">Can use a pattern name as a plain CMT
596	keyword. I.e. the <tt>apply_pattern</tt> keyword is optional
597	except to resolve ambiguities</li>
598
599	<li class="int">Generate part of the standard macros before
600	reading the requirements file</li>

635	<li class="new">Provide a generic pacman manifest file for
636	CMT. All instances of the "<version>" pattern need to be
637	substituted by the effective version of CMT to make it a
638	real pacman file as follows:

683	<ul>
684	<li class="bug">Trailing slashes on offset specification in use statement were causing troubles. Now they are properly handled.</li>
685	<li class="new">The broadcast pattern as well as the standard macro <cmtpath> is now renamed <package_cmtpath> to avoid confusion with the CMTPATH variable on Windows.</li>

696	<b>v1r14p20030620</b>
697	<ul>
698	<li class="new">introduce a generic "Unix" tag for all Unix platforms. Both Linux, HP-UX, LynxOS, alpha, ... do validate Unix</li>
699	<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>
700	<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>
701	<li class="new">add a command "cmt show use_paths <target>" 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>
702	<li class="new">add a command "cmt show cycles" to display circular dependencies in the use graph.</li>
703	<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>
704	<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>
705	<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>
706	<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:
707	<pre>
708	> cmt --public ...
709	</pre>
710	only sees public uses (default behavior for most commands but not for cmt broadcast and cmt show uses which traverse the private sub graphs)
711	<pre>
712	> cmt --private ...
713	</pre>
714	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>
715	<li class="bug">A global pattern specifying private sections did not really generate private definitions</li>
