     6 New Features:

     7 fix for ARM9E + ARMV5 pre-processing confusion

     7 - New 'Patchable Constants' target type: TARGETTYPE pdll

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

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

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

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

    12     e.g.

    13 

    14   	sbs_filter --filters=FilterWhat < logfile.log 

    15 

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

    17     the matadata.)

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

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

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

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

    22 

    23 	"\epoc32\release\armv5\...."  

    24 

    25   If it's "..\myepocroot" then the output will be:

    26 

    27 	"..\myepocroot\epoc32\release\armv5".  

    28 

    29   If it's absolute then the what output will also be absolute.

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

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

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

    33   are generated. e.g.

    34 

    35 	sbs_filter --filters=FilterCheck < logfile.log 

    36 

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

    38   Requires pygame and PyOpenGL. e.g.

    39 

    40 	python timelines.py < filename.log

    41 

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

    43   in each type of recipe in the build. e.g.

    44 

    45 	python recipestats.py < filename.log > stats.csv

    46 

    47   The output is in CSV format.  

    48 

    49 Defect Fixes:

    50 - fix for ARM9E + ARMV5 pre-processing confusion

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

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

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

    54 

    55 Other Changes:

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

    57   older versions of Python).
