+========================================================================
+RELEASE NOTE FOR APPDEP, 2.2
+========================================================================
+
+Product Description:
+====================
+AppDep is a command line tool that can be used to resolve static
+dependency information of a component within a Symbian OS build (either
+platform or custom). The tool generates a cache file by reading the data
+from all binaries and import libraries within a release, by using an
+external compiler tool set. The use of a cache file is a fast way to make
+a dependency review, such as what dependencies a binary has, and functions
+and ordinals used in a binary, and to generate dependency lists to a
+component or a function. The tool can also be used to view the properties
+of a binary.
+
+Features:
+=========
+- Generates a cache file appdep-cache-symbol-tables.txt which contain
+ symbol tables of all import libraries within a release
+- Generates a cache file appdep-cache-dependencies.txt which contain
+ dependency information of all binaries within a release
+- Reading data from AppDep generated cache files or from platform
+ generated StaticDependencies.txt
+- Include SIS files under analysis
+- Support for defining multiple target types
+- Support for reading binaries from a release or a debug build
+- Support for reading .lib files or .dso files
+- Display properties of a file
+- Print all static dependencies of a component
+- Print all components that depends on a component
+- Print all functions used by a component
+- Print all components that are using a function
+
+Fixed issues:
+=============
+- Added support for components that include "-" character in the middle of the component name i.e. now
+ also imported function lines of format '27 imports from libdbus-utils{000a0000}[20010154].dll' are parsed
+ correctly from dump created by elftran.exe.
+- Fixed issue 'command '-showfunctions' may report functions with same ordinal twice' which was due to duplicate
+ import function instances found from cache file. Now the possible duplicate import function instances are detected
+ during cache creation and only one import function instance is stored.
+
+Enhancements:
+=============
+- Appdep now scans *.agt and *.fxt files as binaries
+- Changed tool to use elftran.exe instead petran.exe for GCCE and RVCT toolchains (petran.exe is still used for GCC).
+
+New Features:
+=============
+
+System Requirements:
+====================
+Basic Requirements:
+- Windows 2000
+- External RVCT or GCCE tool chain installed when Symbian OS 9.x is
+ being used
+- Symbian OS development environment installed including all related
+ import libraries (.lib or .dso)
+
+Compatibility Issues:
+=====================
+N/A
+
+Known Issues:
+=============
+
+RVCT toolset slowness
+---------------------
+- If your installed RVCT toolset does not have a fixed license, it will
+ get a license for each import library every time. This may cause the
+ cache generation become very slow. If this is causing problems, try
+ --uselibs parameter or use GCCE tool chain instead.
+
+C++filt location when RVCT toolchain is used
+--------------------------------------------
+- When you RVCT toolchain, you must also specify a location to C++filt
+ tool since RVCT toolchain does not provide that. It is recommended to
+ use the cfilt.exe provided with AppDep installed since it has been
+ tested to work correctly. C++filt.exe provided by the platform cannot
+ be used since it is not compatible.
