RELEASE NOTES - MIFCONV v3.1.7

RELEASED 10th July 2009 

SUPPORTS S60 3.2+

===============================================================================

Product Description:

====================

Mifconv is a Multi-Icon File (MIF) converter tool for generating MIF, MBM and 

MBG header files from SVGB, SVG and BMP sources. It can be called directly 

from the command line or from the PRJ_EXTENSIONS block in a component's 

bld.inf file, utilizing makefile templates during the build process.

Main Features:

==============

- Command line interface for calling Mifconv from custom makefiles

- Makefile templates for incremental building, supporting GNU make syntax for

  ABLD build system and FLM syntax for SBSv2 build system

- Generating MIF files from SVG/SVGB icon sources and BMP file ids

- Converting SVG to SVGB with the Svgtbinencode utility

- Generating MBM files with the Bmconv utility

- Generating icon id enumeration MBG header files from the given source files

===============================================================================

What's New in v3.1.7

====================

- Fix: MIF-file is created also when no input files are given.

- Fix: Correct build directory used with mifconv.flm.

- Fix: MBM-file is included in RELEASABLES macro in mifconv.flm.

- Fix: '/' is not a valid option prefix in Linux. Only '-' is allowed.

- Change: If SBS_BUILD_DIR environment variable is defined, it is used as 

  a base of temporary icon folder.

===============================================================================

Installation Notes:

===================

Mifconv is pre-installed in an SDK environment and does not contain any 

Symbian software counterparts. 

===============================================================================

System Requirements:

====================

Basic Requirements:

- Any S60 3.2 or higher RnD environment

===============================================================================

Compatibility Issues:

=====================

N/A

===============================================================================

Known Issues:

=============

- Depth parameter must always be given for each bitmap

- Heavier components, such as avkon2.mif, are not supported in ABLD build

  system due to restrictions in GNU make in the SDK

- If you don't specify TARGETFILE in the bld.inf at all but only a HEADERFILE,

  the MBM file will be generated to the header file directory

-------------------------------

- Fix: Supressed most of the "overriding commands for target..." warnings

- Fix: Directory separators in EPOCROOT environment variable and source-

  directories fixed in mifconv.exe. In some cases there were mixed '/' and '\'

  characters in a path.

- Change: Intermediate directory for SVGB files is unique for target component.

  For example: For target myicons.mif, intermediate directory would be:

  <EPOCROOT>/epoc32/build/s60/icons/myicons/

  a warning is printed to debug log.

not end with directory separator.

Version 3.1.1 - 6th February 2009
