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>

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>

104	<li class="new">The <tt>pacman</tt> source file for CMT now
105	includes a constraint on the version of Pacman.</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>

127	<li class="int">Improve the automatic preparation of CMT releases</li>

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

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>

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

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	<action>" syntax. One can directly use "cmt
350	<action>" 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>

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>

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>
