 Product Description:

-Compatibility Analyser compares a set of files in two different versions of S60
+Compatibility Analyser compares a set of files in two different versions of Symbian
 releases against predefined Binary Compatibility (BC) criteria, and reports any
 changes that affect BC. The analysis is done on header files or import
-libraries of the platform. Preserving BC is central in S60 development to
-ensure that any executable that was built against an older version (for
-example, S60 5.0 platform) can be run without changes on a newer version of the
-platform (for example, S60 5.1 onwards). The comparison is made between a
-baseline version of an S60 release (for example, a Public SDK from Forum Nokia)

+baseline version of an Symbian release (for example, a Public SDK from Forum Nokia)
 and a newer, current SDK version that needs to be verified. Compatibility
 reports can be filtered so that they compare the found issues against a known
 issues file. This file (knownissues.xml) contains information on whether or not

-- Change: In HA:- Multiple threading logic is made configurable. By default it is disabled. 
-  "-usethread" is the param. If not mentioned in HA command option, threading logic will be disabled.
-- Checkbc.py supports Multiple thread using Config param.
-  For Public vs Rnd SDK analysis or for small no of header analysis (<3000), set the "USE_THREAD" in config_template as "true".
-  For Rnd vs Rnd sdk analysis or large no. of headers analysis, keep the "USE_THREAD" as "false" or empty.

-- Fix: In HA:- When issue reported as "file cannot be analysed", set the line No to 0 in report.

+- Change: In HA:- CA:Re-write the HandleExports() logic in HA to support both Symbian and Qt exported logic
+- Change: In HA:- QT: Rules implementation
+                      1) default arguement value change
+                      2) exported function analysis irrespective of its accessibility
+                      3)first time over loaded function
+- Change: In HA:- Symbian_os.hrh should be included for all round of compilation. Investigated and solved the issue.
+- Fix: In HA:- Symian Headers split issue : LineNumber Changes with issue file loc done.
+- Change: In LA:- RVCT-4 ToolChain support in Library Analyser.
+- Change: In CheckBC:- Implemented the logic to use the common data gloabal_data.xml file created.
+- Change: In CheckBC:- 5.2 platformdata file updated with TB9.2 wk02 2010 content along with QT dependency info.
+- Change: In CheckBC:- Validation of build target logic changed. Remove the build type option for ure/udeb. Only urel is supported
+- Fix: In CheckBC:- Validation of given SDK dir is needed while taking the DLLs from the respective release folder.

 Known Issues:
 =============
-N/A
-  
+- From TB9.2 onwards, the epoc32\include\mw\QT folder should be excluded using config_template file.
+  This is required because this Qt folder conttains all the duplicate header entries present in other folders like mw\Qtcore,mw\Qtgui,mw\QtSql etc.
+  The excluded param in config is EXCLUDE_DIR_HEADERS.
+  ex:- EXCLUDE_DIR_HEADERS =Qt
+- CA won't support Qt header analysis for SDK version < 5.2
+- Currently Qt headers are present by dafault in epoc32\include\mw in any TB9.2 sdk.
+  Changes in this location path may result in compilation errors for Qt headers. In that case, platform data file needs to be updated.
