RELEASED 21st June 2010

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

Product Description:

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

LibraryAnalyser is a command line tool that can be used to compare modified DSO

and LIB import library files to those in a baseline and to report any changes

that can affect binary compatibility. 

Main Features:

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

- Read symbol tables from import libaries and check binary compatibility by

  comparing symbol tables of two versions of same file

- Support for reading .dll files and .lib files or .dso files

- Generate a report file in XML format

- Allow specific changes in function signatures

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

What's New in v3.3.3.1

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

- SF related changes done - 

  - All Distribution policy files are deleted.

  - CSL arm tool chain related some executables are deleted from tsrc folder. Unit test will take the default CSL arm tool chain paths.

  - All the old libraries are deleted from test bench. Added new libraries from TB9.2.

  - Test bench updated for taking the space in path

  - For CI setup, makefile required for static analysis is added.

LibraryAnalyser is part of Compatibility Analyser tool suite. Please refer to

Compatibility Analyser documentation for details.

System Requirements:

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

Basic Requirements:

- Windows 2000 or XP with 256MB RAM

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

Compatibility Issues:

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

N/A

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

Known Issues:

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

- RVCT toolset slowness:

  If your installed RVCT toolset does not have a noce-locked 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 the --uselibs

  parameter or use the GCCE tool chain instead.

- C++Filt location when RVCT toolchain is used:

  When you use the RVCT toolchain, you must also specify a location to the

  c++filt tool since the RVCT toolchain does not provide that. It is

  recommended to use the cfilt.exe provided with LibraryAnalyser installed since

  it has been tested to work correctly. C++filt.exe provided by the Symbian/S60

  platform cannot be used since it is not compatible.
