75 Add a touch functionnality, e.g. <tt>cvs co -t package</tt>, during cvs checkout, this is mainly due that cvs keeps the file
76 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
77 to the checkout time.</li>
78
79 <li class="new"> Add the support on Linux/make for creating separate directory for libraries/constituents.
80 To be Atlas compliant, this strategy is not built by default you should called explicitely the STRUCTURED_OUTPUT option, e.g.
81 <tt>make STRUCTURED_OUTPUT=1</tt>. For more informations see the following <a href="http://trac.lal.in2p3.fr/CMT/ticket/10">Bug
82 report</a>.</li>
83
84 <li class="new"> Supress the n repeated entries in the CMTPATH after the first found occurence.</li>
85
86 <li class="int"> Add the cvs <tt>"-f"</tt> option which force cvs to ignore the user .cvsrc file during cvs
87 command execution. It appears to create problem with the cmtcvs plugin and empty directories
88 within cvs.</li>
89
90 <li class="int">Translate symlinks for the <tt>cmt show packages</tt> command.<li>
91
92 <li class="bug"> Bring a better support for the cmt checkout operation to bypass cvs weird behaviours, e.g. chekout
93 localy a directory whithout any files inside creates nothing.</li>
94
95 <li class="bug"> Correct problems when checkouting successively the same package with a different tag in the
96 <tt>without version directory</tt>mode.</li>

115 <li class="new">Add a new standard macro definition
116 <tt>$(q)</tt> to hold a double quote. This is useful to
117 define symbol values that contin doublequotes so as they are
118 not filtered out by CMT. Typical usage is to cope with paths
119 containing spaces on Windows. Various fixes have been done
120 to improve the support of spaces in paths</li>

140
141 <li class="bug">The definition of standard macros was not
142 properly set when using the <tt>cmt broadcast</tt>

167 create</tt> or the <tt>cmt co</tt> commands is affected by
168 the specification of the structuring style or of the
169 structuring strategy.</li>
170
171 <li class="new">Introduce a new strategy structure_strategy
172 with only one value with/out_version_directory. This is
173 mostly useful when installed in a project file to condition
174 the behaviour of package creation afterwards</li>
175
176 <li class="new">Support dependency building using external
177 tools such as cpp -M. Fix the cmt_build_des.sh wrapper
178 script to properly format the command output.</li>
179
180 <li class="new">Perform the cmt checkout onto a project even
181 if the basic directory structure of the project is already
182 in place.</li>
183
184 <li class="new">When no current project is defined the
185 strategies are taken from the top project (eg obtained from
186 the CMTPATH)</li>
187
188 <li class="new">The include_dirs statement can now be hidden
189 in a private section.</li>

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

202 resulting in bad management of make cleanup on Windows</li>
203
204 <li class="bug">When creating a parent-less project, link it
205 to exisiting top project(s) and upgrade strategies
206 accordingly. Avoid confusions when mixing explicit CMTPATH,
207 CMTPROJECTPATH and project files </li>
208

210 value is empty (avoid killing -I"")</li>

213 CMTPATH from projects (avoid confusions and
214 dupplications)</li>

241 syntax. The Pacman package name is CMT.</li>
242
243 <li class="new">Extend the recursive checkout mechanism to
244 projects. The recursivity covers the use relationships
245 between projects and propagates to packges of a project when
246 the container package is specified in the project file.</li>
247
248 <li class="new">Add the cvssubprojects query command to
249 retrieve subprojects at a CVS repository level</li>
250
251 <li class="new">Add a container statement in project
252 file. The syntax is like use statements. It indicates that a
253 container-like package exists in the project. This is useful
254 for recursive checkout operations.</li>
255
256 <li class="int">Migrate to a new version of the CVS
257 pluggin. Now the protocol level is explicitly referenced
258 when sending CVS requests via the pluggin. The new protocol
259 gives the nature of the CVS module: is it a project or a
260 package. The protocol level is specified in a dedicated
261 macro in the CMT requirements file.</li>

288
289 <li class="new">The path of CMT is removed from
290 CMTPATH. Packages aside CMT are no longer reachable by
291 default</li>
292
293 <li class="new">Major restructuring of the project
294 management and package localisation. The most important
295 parameter becomes the search path CMTPROJECTPATH for
296 projects. Then CMTPATH is deduced from the effective list of
297 used projects. Project files and the dependency graph
298 described by the project use statement becomes a central
299 mechanism.</li>

302 projects. Release must exactly match</li>

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

353
354 <li class="new">${CMTROOT} is no longer an automatic part of
355 the CMTPATH. Nor the current package automatically defines
356 an entry in the CMTPATH search list. However a feature
357 partly compensates this evolution: the current project
358 (i.e. the current package area, where the developer stands)
359 is autmatically detected when its project file exists
360 (i.e. when its cmt/project.cmt file exists). For instance,
361 this suppresses the need to set CMTPATH when working in one
362 single project.</li>
363
364 <li class="new">The general cmt command parsing mechanism
365 has been revisited and now "actions" are considered as
366 extended cmt commands and no longer need the "cmt do
367 &lt;action&gt;" syntax. One can directly use "cmt
368 &lt;action&gt;" when the action does not conflict with
369 internal cmt commands.</li>
370
371 <li class="new">Command line arguments are transmitted to
372 "actions" now through the new standard "cmt_args" macro</li>

375 Env. variables before running internal cmmands through
376 broadcast, run or do commands.</li>
377
378 <li class="new">The "cmt run" command transmits all its
379 arguments to the launched action</li>
380
381 <li class="new">Revisit the production of dependency files,
382 to consider the changes made to the configuration in general
383 in addition to the usual source changes. This consists in
384 generating one stamp file per source, touched when its
385 contents change rather than when recomputing the
386 dependencies.</li>
387
388 <li class="bug">Better protections for CMTPATH entries</li>
389
390 <li class="int">Major internal restructuring of the CMT
391 package. Internal sources are now in ../source, ../src only
392 contains publicly exported configuration files, fragments
393 are in ../mgr/fragments. This is for constructing a really
394 autonomous binary kit for CMT (eg for Fink) (without needing
395 to export two kits)</li>
396
397 <li class="bug">Now produce the last revision date of the
398 CMT documentation. Insert the complete version tag rather
399 than just the base version tag.</li>
400
401 <li class="new">Suppress the systematic production of
402 bundles on Darwin machines. This must now be done
403 explicitly.</li>
404
405 <li class="bug">The algorithm for commpressing paths with
406 ../ patterns now takes into account the presence of ${xxx}
407 expressions that cannot be reduced. It also better handle
408 various patterns that used to produce failures.</li>
409
410 <li class="bug">A global checking of the configuration is
411 performed first when running Make</li>
412
413 <li class="new">Incompatible major ids in the version
414 numbers are now managed like the minor id, ie. the decision
415 is taken in a similar way. The usual error message is
416 displayed but this is no longer fatal, and a decision is
417 taken</li>

711 <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>
712 <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>
713 <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>

719<pre>
720&gt; cmt --public ...

723<pre>
724&gt; cmt --private ...

726 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>
