106	</li>
107
108	<li class="bug">Correct problems with the cxx pre-compiler parser for dealing with continuation
109	character, space, etc. This problem created in some case the missing dependencies problem with

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

168	<li class="new">
169	Add a touch functionnality, e.g. <tt>cvs co -t package</tt>, during cvs checkout, this is mainly due that cvs keeps the file
170	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
171	to the checkout time.</li>
172
173	<li class="new"> Add the support on Linux/make for creating separate directory for libraries/constituents.
174	To be Atlas compliant, this strategy is not built by default you should called explicitely the STRUCTURED_OUTPUT option, e.g.
175	<tt>make STRUCTURED_OUTPUT=1</tt>. For more informations see the following <a href="http://trac.lal.in2p3.fr/CMT/ticket/10">Bug

179
180	<li class="int"> Add the cvs <tt>"-f"</tt> option which force cvs to ignore the user .cvsrc file during cvs
181	command execution. It appears to create problem with the cmtcvs plugin and empty directories
182	within cvs.</li>
183
184	<li class="int">Translate symlinks for the <tt>cmt show packages</tt> command.<li>
185

187	localy a directory whithout any files inside creates nothing.</li>
188

210	<tt>$(q)</tt> to hold a double quote. This is useful to
211	define symbol values that contin doublequotes so as they are
212	not filtered out by CMT. Typical usage is to cope with paths
213	containing spaces on Windows. Various fixes have been done
214	to improve the support of spaces in paths</li>

217	includes a constraint on the version of Pacman.</li>

234
235	<li class="bug">The definition of standard macros was not
236	properly set when using the <tt>cmt broadcast</tt>
237	command. Thus environment variables where badly preset.</li>

263	structuring strategy.</li>
264
265	<li class="new">Introduce a new strategy structure_strategy
266	with only one value with/out_version_directory. This is
267	mostly useful when installed in a project file to condition
268	the behaviour of package creation afterwards</li>
269

335	syntax. The Pacman package name is CMT.</li>
336
337	<li class="new">Extend the recursive checkout mechanism to
338	projects. The recursivity covers the use relationships
339	between projects and propagates to packges of a project when
340	the container package is specified in the project file.</li>
341

343	retrieve subprojects at a CVS repository level</li>
344
345	<li class="new">Add a container statement in project
346	file. The syntax is like use statements. It indicates that a

348	for recursive checkout operations.</li>
349
350	<li class="int">Migrate to a new version of the CVS
351	pluggin. Now the protocol level is explicitly referenced
352	when sending CVS requests via the pluggin. The new protocol
353	gives the nature of the CVS module: is it a project or a

384	CMTPATH. Packages aside CMT are no longer reachable by
385	default</li>
386
387	<li class="new">Major restructuring of the project
388	management and package localisation. The most important
389	parameter becomes the search path CMTPROJECTPATH for
390	projects. Then CMTPATH is deduced from the effective list of
391	used projects. Project files and the dependency graph

450	an entry in the CMTPATH search list. However a feature

452	(i.e. the current package area, where the developer stands)
453	is autmatically detected when its project file exists
454	(i.e. when its cmt/project.cmt file exists). For instance,
455	this suppresses the need to set CMTPATH when working in one
456	single project.</li>
457

459	has been revisited and now "actions" are considered as
460	extended cmt commands and no longer need the "cmt do
