83	ATLAS "with_installarea"
84
85	build_strategy $(use_strategy)</pre>
86	</li>
87
88	<li class="new">Enable the package selection by native_version requirements:<pre>use foo -native_version=2.0</pre>
89	To activate this feature, it is necessary to execute the <tt>cmt config</tt> in all packages to
90	create for each eligible package a <tt>cmt/native_version.cmt</tt> file generated from the
91	<tt><package>_native_version macro</tt> and used for the package selection.

98	</li>
99
100	<li class="bug">Correct problems with the cxx pre-compiler parser for dealing with continuation
101	character, space, etc. This problem created in some case the missing dependencies problem with
102	previous releases (Thanks to Scott Snyder,
103	see <a href="http://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?23384">bug report</a>).

135	<li class="new">Add a new traversal mode for the cmtpath_pattern: <tt>cmtpath_pattern_revert</tt>. This is for constructing macro from current
136	project to projects used (Atlas's request).</li>
137	<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>

159
160	<li class="new">
161	Add a touch functionnality, e.g. <tt>cvs co -t package</tt>, during cvs checkout, this is mainly due that cvs keeps the file
162	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
163	to the checkout time.</li>
164
165	<li class="new"> Add the support on Linux/make for creating separate directory for libraries/constituents.
166	To be Atlas compliant, this strategy is not built by default you should called explicitely the STRUCTURED_OUTPUT option, e.g.
167	<tt>make STRUCTURED_OUTPUT=1</tt>. For more informations see the following <a href="http://trac.lal.in2p3.fr/CMT/ticket/10">Bug
168	report</a>.</li>
169
170	<li class="new"> Supress the n repeated entries in the CMTPATH after the first found occurence.</li>
171
172	<li class="int"> Add the cvs <tt>"-f"</tt> option which force cvs to ignore the user .cvsrc file during cvs
173	command execution. It appears to create problem with the cmtcvs plugin and empty directories
174	within cvs.</li>
175
176	<li class="int">Translate symlinks for the <tt>cmt show packages</tt> command.<li>
177
178	<li class="bug"> Bring a better support for the cmt checkout operation to bypass cvs weird behaviours, e.g. chekout
179	localy a directory whithout any files inside creates nothing.</li>
180
181	<li class="bug"> Correct problems when checkouting successively the same package with a different tag in the
182	<tt>without version directory</tt>mode.</li>
183
184	<li class="bug">Compute the project of the package when expanding the <project> template to fix packages with offset .</li>

200
201	<li class="new">Add a new standard macro definition
202	<tt>$(q)</tt> to hold a double quote. This is useful to
203	define symbol values that contin doublequotes so as they are
204	not filtered out by CMT. Typical usage is to cope with paths
205	containing spaces on Windows. Various fixes have been done
206	to improve the support of spaces in paths</li>
207
208	<li class="new">The <tt>pacman</tt> source file for CMT now
209	includes a constraint on the version of Pacman.</li>
210
211	<li class="bug">Added a mechanism to filter out bad items in
212	a PATH symbol. This was causing troubles at <tt>source

219	Windows</li>
220
221	<li class="bug">Added a protection against single level
222	directories in CMTPATH</li>
223
224	<li class="bug">Added a protection against unexisting
225	makefile fragments when running the <tt>clean</tt> target.</li>
226
227	<li class="bug">The definition of standard macros was not
228	properly set when using the <tt>cmt broadcast</tt>
229	command. Thus environment variables where badly preset.</li>
230
231	<li class="int">Improve the automatic preparation of CMT releases</li>
232
233	<li class="int">The internal <tt>Makefile</tt> structure has
234	been cleaned up to remove obsolete internal targets (leading

254	the specification of the structuring style or of the
255	structuring strategy.</li>
256
257	<li class="new">Introduce a new strategy structure_strategy
258	with only one value with/out_version_directory. This is
259	mostly useful when installed in a project file to condition
260	the behaviour of package creation afterwards</li>
261
262	<li class="new">Support dependency building using external
263	tools such as cpp -M. Fix the cmt_build_des.sh wrapper
264	script to properly format the command output.</li>
265
266	<li class="new">Perform the cmt checkout onto a project even
267	if the basic directory structure of the project is already
268	in place.</li>

270	<li class="new">When no current project is defined the
271	strategies are taken from the top project (eg obtained from
272	the CMTPATH)</li>

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

296	value is empty (avoid killing -I"")</li>
297
298	<li class="bug">Reset CMTPATH to empty when filling in
299	CMTPATH from projects (avoid confusions and
300	dupplications)</li>

327	syntax. The Pacman package name is CMT.</li>
328
329	<li class="new">Extend the recursive checkout mechanism to
330	projects. The recursivity covers the use relationships
331	between projects and propagates to packges of a project when
332	the container package is specified in the project file.</li>
333
334	<li class="new">Add the cvssubprojects query command to
335	retrieve subprojects at a CVS repository level</li>
336
337	<li class="new">Add a container statement in project
338	file. The syntax is like use statements. It indicates that a
339	container-like package exists in the project. This is useful
340	for recursive checkout operations.</li>
341
342	<li class="int">Migrate to a new version of the CVS
343	pluggin. Now the protocol level is explicitly referenced
344	when sending CVS requests via the pluggin. The new protocol
345	gives the nature of the CVS module: is it a project or a
346	package. The protocol level is specified in a dedicated
347	macro in the CMT requirements file.</li>

373	<li class="new">Accept HEAD or head as a valid version tag for packages</li>
374
375	<li class="new">The path of CMT is removed from
376	CMTPATH. Packages aside CMT are no longer reachable by
377	default</li>
378
379	<li class="new">Major restructuring of the project
380	management and package localisation. The most important
381	parameter becomes the search path CMTPROJECTPATH for
382	projects. Then CMTPATH is deduced from the effective list of
383	used projects. Project files and the dependency graph
384	described by the project use statement becomes a central
385	mechanism.</li>

388	projects. Release must exactly match</li>

440	<li class="new">${CMTROOT} is no longer an automatic part of
441	the CMTPATH. Nor the current package automatically defines
442	an entry in the CMTPATH search list. However a feature
443	partly compensates this evolution: the current project
444	(i.e. the current package area, where the developer stands)
445	is autmatically detected when its project file exists
446	(i.e. when its cmt/project.cmt file exists). For instance,
447	this suppresses the need to set CMTPATH when working in one
448	single project.</li>
449
450	<li class="new">The general cmt command parsing mechanism
451	has been revisited and now "actions" are considered as
452	extended cmt commands and no longer need the "cmt do
453	<action>" syntax. One can directly use "cmt
454	<action>" when the action does not conflict with
455	internal cmt commands.</li>

467	<li class="new">Revisit the production of dependency files,
468	to consider the changes made to the configuration in general
469	in addition to the usual source changes. This consists in
470	generating one stamp file per source, touched when its
471	contents change rather than when recomputing the
472	dependencies.</li>
473
474	<li class="bug">Better protections for CMTPATH entries</li>
475
476	<li class="int">Major internal restructuring of the CMT
477	package. Internal sources are now in ../source, ../src only
478	contains publicly exported configuration files, fragments
479	are in ../mgr/fragments. This is for constructing a really
480	autonomous binary kit for CMT (eg for Fink) (without needing
481	to export two kits)</li>

488	bundles on Darwin machines. This must now be done
489	explicitly.</li>

804	<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:
805	<pre>
806	> cmt --public ...
807	</pre>
808	only sees public uses (default behavior for most commands but not for cmt broadcast and cmt show uses which traverse the private sub graphs)
809	<pre>
810	> cmt --private ...
811	</pre>
812	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>
