Release Notes for Symbian Build System v2

Next version

- Combine Linking and Postlinking into a single step

- New 'Patchable Constants' target type: TARGETTYPE pdll

- Support exit codes from next version of the trace compiler which will issue them

- New sbs_filter script and batchfile to ease the use of sbs_filter.py.  

    Allows filters to be executed over a log after a build has been done.

    e.g.

  	sbs_filter --filters=FilterWhat < logfile.log 

    (This runs a "--what" without regenerating any makefiles or reparsing

    the matadata.)

- New (beta) FilterWhatComp filter.  Simulates abld log output for

   use with parse_what.pl for packing up zips by component.  Whatcomp output

   uses the incoming epocroot value.  i.e. if epocroot is relative then so is

   the what output.  e.g. if EPOCROOT=\   then the output will be of the form

   "\epoc32\release\armv5\...."  If it's "..\myepocroot" then the output will

   be "..\myepocroot\epoc32\release\armv5".  If it's absolute then the what

   output will also be absolute.

- New FilterCheck filter.  This can be used with sbs_filter to perform the 

   equivalent of --check using the log output from a build.  It is more

   efficient than --check because the metadata is not parsed and no makefiles

   are generated. e.g.

  	sbs_filter --filters=FilterCheck < logfile.log 

- New (beta) graphical build visualisation tool (bin/timelines.py). Requires pygame

   and PyOpenGL. e.g.  python timelines.py < filename.log

- New (beta) log analyser (recipestats.py) for recording the total time spent in 

   each type of recipe in the build. e.g. python recipestats.py < filename.log > stats.csv

   The output is in CSV format.
