Release Notes for Symbian Build System v2

next version

New Features:

- Add support for Cygwin 1.7.

- New support for cross-compiling win32 tools on Linux.  

  To enable it, use "sbs -c tools2.win32 -c tools2" on Linux

- New workaround to enable the Qt team to link their code against Symbian DLL's

- New prototype support for reading System Definition v3 files

version 2.12.2

Defect Fixes:

- SF Bug 1569 - excessive recompilation in incremental tracecompiler builds

- Better error messages for make-engine selection.

  e.g. "sbs -e arm" will now produce a useful error message rather than 

  a traceback. "arm" is a real variant but it's not a make engine.  In

  the past sbs would have tried to use it and would have failed with a

  complicated traceback. Also doesn't traceback for non-existent make engines.

- sbs_filter chose wrong embedded default python version. Set to 2.6.4 now.

- FilterCheck did not check files when run from sbs_filter

- Remove old references to python 2.5.2

- Escape filenames with special XML characters inside <member> tags

version 2.12.1

Defect Fixes:

- SF Bug 1494 - sbs --what does not report Trace Compiler output

- sbs -c winscw.tracecompiler uses wrong UID and doesn't generate traces

- SF Bug 1519 - Raptor output files may contain unescaped left angle brackets as XML character data

version 2.12.0

New Features:

- New 'Patchable Constants' target type: TARGETTYPE pdll

- Combine Linking and Postlinking into a single step - performance improvement.

- 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.  

Defect Fixes:

- fix for ARM9E + ARMV5 pre-processing confusion

- SF bug 1606: template_ext.flm wrongly creates dependencies to OTHER_CFG targets

- SF bug 1570: Adding then removing a capability can produce incorrect 

  result: e.g. ALL TCB -TCB becomes ALL -TCB but it should be just ALL

Other Changes:

- Default to using Python 2.6.4 on windows (no change in compatibility with 

  older versions of Python).
