!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Notes for this ChangeLog.txt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
This log file is used to record two kinds of important information: | |
a) "Non-Compatible Changes": all non-compatible changes should be recorded. These info | |
will help the package user to merge this package; and some non-compatible changes | |
can also be added into release notes as news features when we release this package. | |
Normally Non-Compatible Changes contains the following types: | |
1) Package's external services were changed/updated | |
2) Package's common .h file is renamed, deleted, or the file path is changed. | |
3) The definition of package's common data structure is changed | |
... | |
b) "Important Compatible Changes": some important compatible changes can aslo be recorded | |
in this file, and we can add these updating into release notes when we release this | |
package. | |
Non-Compatible and Compatible example format: | |
========================================================================================== | |
EDK_0010: Non-Compatible: owner | |
Class_HFile: PPI A of MdePkg has been removed. | |
Code Change : | |
1) Removed the .h file: MdePkg\Include\Ppi\A.h | |
Possible Impacts: | |
1) All modules that used this PPI A should be updated. | |
========================================================================================== | |
EDK_0000: Compatible: owner | |
Class_BuildTool: with the EDK_0000 build.exe, the build performance is enhanced great. | |
Code Change : | |
1) BaseTools\Bin\Win32\build.exe | |
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! End of Notes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

========================================================================================== | |
EDK_r5418-5419: Non-Compatible: qhuang8 | |
Class_Library: Update EfiDriverLib in ECP to make it compatible with EDK1.01(EDK1117), | |
but the change itself is incompatible. | |
With this change, EFI1.10 drivers can be directly dropped | |
in and built in UEFI build mode. EfiLibInstallAllDriverProtocols2() and | |
INSTALL_ALL_DRIVER_PROTOCOLS_OR_PROTOCOLS2() are added to support UEFI driver | |
model protocols. Please replace all the occurrences of EfiLibInstallAllDriverProtocols | |
and INSTALL_ALL_DRIVER_PROTOCOLS with INSTALL_ALL_DRIVER_PROTOCOLS_OR_PROTOCOLS2 | |
in Edk 1.04 based source tree. | |
Code Change: | |
1) Edk\Foundation\Include\EfiCompNameSupport.h: | |
Add macro INSTALL_ALL_DRIVER_PROTOCOLS_OR_PROTOCOLS2(). | |
2) Edk\Foundation\Library\Dxe\EfiDriverLib\EfiDriverModelLib.c | |
Edk\Foundation\Library\Dxe\Include\EfiDriverLib.h | |
Update EfiLibInstallAllDriverProtocols() and add EfiLibInstallAllDriverProtocols2() | |
Possible impact: | |
1) If your "EDK style" code base is based on ECP r5417 or below, please replace all the | |
occurrences of EfiLibInstallAllDriverProtocols and INSTALL_ALL_DRIVER_PROTOCOLS with | |
INSTALL_ALL_DRIVER_PROTOCOLS_OR_PROTOCOLS2 | |
========================================================================================== | |
EDK_r4955: Non-Compatible: qhuang8 | |
Class_HFile: Update the Device Type Value of MEDIA_FV_DP & MEDIA_FV_FILEPATH_DP. | |
The definitions in MdePkg have already been updated in r4632. This will remove the | |
potential compatibility issues when native EDK II modules & EDK modules built with | |
ECP and run with EDK II core. | |
Code Change: | |
1) Reverse the value of MEDIA_FV_DP & MEDIA_FV_FILEPATH_DP to fix a UEFI errata. | |
Possible impact: | |
1) EDK I modules built with this update might not work with old EDK environment. | |
========================================================================================== | |
EDK_r4960: Non-Compatible: qhuang8 | |
Class_HFile: Remove the default value 0xE0000000 of EDKII_GLUE_PciExpressBaseAddress. | |
It now requires platform DSC file to specify it explicitly to avoid runtime issue | |
if they ever uses PciExpressLib in EDK GlueLib. | |
Unlike other default value in GlueLib, this value might not function for all real | |
platforms. | |
Code Change: | |
1) Replace 0xE0000000 to be PCD_EDKII_GLUE_PciExpressBaseAddress. | |
Possible impact: | |
1) If a platform ever uses PciExpressLib in Glue Lib. It needs to explictly specify | |
the value of PCD_EDKII_GLUE_PciExpressBaseAddress for their platform to function. | |
e.g. in EDK II DSC file to build EDK modules: | |
[BuildOptions] | |
*_*_*_CC_FLAGS = /D PCD_EDKII_GLUE_PciExpressBaseAddress=0xC0000000 | |
EDK_r7286: Compatible: qhuang8 | |
Class_HFile: Add several new UEFI definition to build with newest EFI shell source. | |
Code Change: | |
1) Add new UEFI Load File 2 protocol defininition. | |
2) Add MEDIA_RELATIVE_OFFSET_RANGE_DEVICE_PATH device path type. | |
Possible impact: | |
None. | |
EDK_r7342: No-Compatible: qwang12 | |
Rename module names in EdkCompatibility/Compatibility directory from ***To*** to ***On***. | |
For example, Fv2ToFvThunk is renamed to Fv2OnFvThunk. | |
AAAOnBBB means this module produce AAA Protocol/PPI based on BBB. This change improves the readability and | |
help developers to select correct thunk module to use. | |
Code Changes: | |
These module directory and module INF file name is updated: | |
DeviceIoToPciRootBridgeIoThunk -> DeviceIoToPciRootBridgeIoThunk | |
FrameworkHiiToUefiHiiThunk -> FrameworkHiiToUefiHiiThunk | |
Fv2ToFvThunk -> Fv2ToFvThunk | |
FvFileLoaderToLoadFileThunk -> FvFileLoaderToLoadFileThunk | |
FvToFv2Thunk -> FvToFv2Thunk | |
PciCfg2ToPciCfgThunk -> PciCfg2ToPciCfgThunk | |
PciCfgToPciCfg2Thunk -> PciCfgToPciCfg2Thunk | |
ReadOnlyVariable2ToReadOnlyVariableThunk -> ReadOnlyVariable2ToReadOnlyVariableThunk | |
ReadOnlyVariableToReadOnlyVariable2Thunk -> ReadOnlyVariableToReadOnlyVariable2Thunk | |
Uc2ToUcThunk -> Uc2ToUcThunk | |
UcToUc2Thunk -> UcToUc2Thunk | |
Possible Impact: | |
All DSC and FDF files that reference these module should be updated to use the new module directory | |
and file names. |
