48	<ul>
49	<li class="new">Add support for wildcarded project dependencies which Allow CMTPROJECTPATH overrides, e.g.: use project v*.</li>
50	<li class="new">Support for the author keyword at the project level and the corresponding command is <tt>cmt show project_author</tt>
51	to obtain it from command line.</li>
52	<li class="new">Extend the strategy syntax for supporting variable, e.g.:
53	<pre>
54	macro use_strategy "without_installarea" \
55	ATLAS "with_installarea"
56
57	build_strategy $(use_strategy)
58	</pre>
59	</li>
60	<li class="new">Add a option to bypass the <tt>cmt config</tt> step after the cvs checkout: <tt>cmt co -no_config ...</tt>.</li>
61	<li class="new">Add a new traversal mode for the cmtpath_pattern: <tt>cmtpath_pattern_revert</tt>. This is for constructing macro from current
62	project to projects used (Atlas's request).</li>
63	<li class="bug">Disable warning about tags,e.g. CMTSITE. To re-enable them you should use cmt with the <tt>-warnings</tt> option.</li>
64	<li class="int">Introduce the pre-compiler __APPLE__ macro for removing compilation warnings.</li>

85
86	<li class="new">
87	Add a touch functionnality, e.g. <tt>cvs co -t package</tt>, during cvs checkout, this is mainly due that cvs keeps the file
88	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
89	to the checkout time.</li>
90
91	<li class="new"> Add the support on Linux/make for creating separate directory for libraries/constituents.
92	To be Atlas compliant, this strategy is not built by default you should called explicitely the STRUCTURED_OUTPUT option, e.g.
93	<tt>make STRUCTURED_OUTPUT=1</tt>. For more informations see the following <a href="http://trac.lal.in2p3.fr/CMT/ticket/10">Bug
94	report</a>.</li>
95
96	<li class="new"> Supress the n repeated entries in the CMTPATH after the first found occurence.</li>
97
98	<li class="int"> Add the cvs <tt>"-f"</tt> option which force cvs to ignore the user .cvsrc file during cvs
99	command execution. It appears to create problem with the cmtcvs plugin and empty directories
100	within cvs.</li>
101
102	<li class="int">Translate symlinks for the <tt>cmt show packages</tt> command.<li>
103
104	<li class="bug"> Bring a better support for the cmt checkout operation to bypass cvs weird behaviours, e.g. chekout
105	localy a directory whithout any files inside creates nothing.</li>
106
107	<li class="bug"> Correct problems when checkouting successively the same package with a different tag in the
108	<tt>without version directory</tt>mode.</li>
109
110	<li class="bug">Compute the project of the package when expanding the <project> template to fix packages with offset .</li>

126
127	<li class="new">Add a new standard macro definition
128	<tt>$(q)</tt> to hold a double quote. This is useful to
129	define symbol values that contin doublequotes so as they are
130	not filtered out by CMT. Typical usage is to cope with paths
131	containing spaces on Windows. Various fixes have been done
132	to improve the support of spaces in paths</li>
133
134	<li class="new">The <tt>pacman</tt> source file for CMT now
135	includes a constraint on the version of Pacman.</li>
136
137	<li class="bug">Added a mechanism to filter out bad items in
138	a PATH symbol. This was causing troubles at <tt>source

143
144	<li class="bug">Better support of release-less projects on
145	Windows</li>
146
147	<li class="bug">Added a protection against single level
148	directories in CMTPATH</li>
149
150	<li class="bug">Added a protection against unexisting
151	makefile fragments when running the <tt>clean</tt> target.</li>
152
153	<li class="bug">The definition of standard macros was not
154	properly set when using the <tt>cmt broadcast</tt>
155	command. Thus environment variables where badly preset.</li>
156
157	<li class="int">Improve the automatic preparation of CMT releases</li>
158
159	<li class="int">The internal <tt>Makefile</tt> structure has

180	the specification of the structuring style or of the
181	structuring strategy.</li>
182
183	<li class="new">Introduce a new strategy structure_strategy
184	with only one value with/out_version_directory. This is
185	mostly useful when installed in a project file to condition
186	the behaviour of package creation afterwards</li>
187
188	<li class="new">Support dependency building using external
189	tools such as cpp -M. Fix the cmt_build_des.sh wrapper
190	script to properly format the command output.</li>
191
192	<li class="new">Perform the cmt checkout onto a project even
193	if the basic directory structure of the project is already
194	in place.</li>

216	<li class="bug">When creating a parent-less project, link it
217	to exisiting top project(s) and upgrade strategies
218	accordingly. Avoid confusions when mixing explicit CMTPATH,
219	CMTPROJECTPATH and project files </li>

253	syntax. The Pacman package name is CMT.</li>
254
255	<li class="new">Extend the recursive checkout mechanism to
256	projects. The recursivity covers the use relationships
257	between projects and propagates to packges of a project when
258	the container package is specified in the project file.</li>
259
260	<li class="new">Add the cvssubprojects query command to
261	retrieve subprojects at a CVS repository level</li>
262
263	<li class="new">Add a container statement in project
264	file. The syntax is like use statements. It indicates that a
265	container-like package exists in the project. This is useful
266	for recursive checkout operations.</li>
267
268	<li class="int">Migrate to a new version of the CVS
269	pluggin. Now the protocol level is explicitly referenced
270	when sending CVS requests via the pluggin. The new protocol
271	gives the nature of the CVS module: is it a project or a
272	package. The protocol level is specified in a dedicated
273	macro in the CMT requirements file.</li>

302	CMTPATH. Packages aside CMT are no longer reachable by
303	default</li>
304
305	<li class="new">Major restructuring of the project
306	management and package localisation. The most important
307	parameter becomes the search path CMTPROJECTPATH for
308	projects. Then CMTPATH is deduced from the effective list of
309	used projects. Project files and the dependency graph
310	described by the project use statement becomes a central
311	mechanism.</li>

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

365
366	<li class="new">${CMTROOT} is no longer an automatic part of
367	the CMTPATH. Nor the current package automatically defines
368	an entry in the CMTPATH search list. However a feature
369	partly compensates this evolution: the current project
370	(i.e. the current package area, where the developer stands)
371	is autmatically detected when its project file exists
372	(i.e. when its cmt/project.cmt file exists). For instance,
373	this suppresses the need to set CMTPATH when working in one
374	single project.</li>
375
376	<li class="new">The general cmt command parsing mechanism
377	has been revisited and now "actions" are considered as
378	extended cmt commands and no longer need the "cmt do
379	<action>" syntax. One can directly use "cmt
380	<action>" when the action does not conflict with
381	internal cmt commands.</li>
382
383	<li class="new">Command line arguments are transmitted to
384	"actions" now through the new standard "cmt_args" macro</li>

387	Env. variables before running internal cmmands through
388	broadcast, run or do commands.</li>
389
390	<li class="new">The "cmt run" command transmits all its
391	arguments to the launched action</li>
392
393	<li class="new">Revisit the production of dependency files,
394	to consider the changes made to the configuration in general
395	in addition to the usual source changes. This consists in
396	generating one stamp file per source, touched when its
397	contents change rather than when recomputing the
398	dependencies.</li>
399
400	<li class="bug">Better protections for CMTPATH entries</li>
401
402	<li class="int">Major internal restructuring of the CMT
403	package. Internal sources are now in ../source, ../src only
404	contains publicly exported configuration files, fragments
405	are in ../mgr/fragments. This is for constructing a really
406	autonomous binary kit for CMT (eg for Fink) (without needing
407	to export two kits)</li>
408
409	<li class="bug">Now produce the last revision date of the
410	CMT documentation. Insert the complete version tag rather
411	than just the base version tag.</li>

414	bundles on Darwin machines. This must now be done
415	explicitly.</li>
416
417	<li class="bug">The algorithm for commpressing paths with
418	../ patterns now takes into account the presence of ${xxx}
419	expressions that cannot be reduced. It also better handle
420	various patterns that used to produce failures.</li>
421

423	performed first when running Make</li>
424
425	<li class="new">Incompatible major ids in the version
426	numbers are now managed like the minor id, ie. the decision
427	is taken in a similar way. The usual error message is

723	<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>
724	<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>
725	<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>
726	<li class="new">add a command "cmt show cycles" to display circular dependencies in the use graph.</li>
727	<li class="new">provide a binary RPM for CMT itself (only for redhat 7.2 distribution).

(See the install WEB page for complete notice)</li>
728	<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>
729	<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>
730	<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:
731	<pre>
732	> cmt --public ...
733	</pre>
734	only sees public uses (default behavior for most commands but not for cmt broadcast and cmt show uses which traverse the private sub graphs)
735	<pre>
736	> cmt --private ...
737	</pre>
738	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>
