Milestone 11 (not yet released)
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in this release:
|
||||
|
||||
- New C++ compilers: IBM xlf, HP aCC, HP CXX, Intel fortran compiler.
|
||||
- New tools: Qt4 support, MS message compiler and IDL compiler.
|
||||
- New main targets: 'notfile' and 'cast'.
|
||||
|
||||
- Core changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Only one file required at top level of a project, named Jamroot.
|
||||
- Jamfiles can now contain project-specific help messages.
|
||||
- "Indirect conditional requirements" introduced
|
||||
(http://tinyurl.com/mn3jp)
|
||||
- Strip suffix in main target names when computing names of generated
|
||||
files (URL)
|
||||
- The 'source-location' project attribute can contain
|
||||
several directories.
|
||||
- Usage requirements are propagated not only direct dependents,
|
||||
but to indirect dependents.
|
||||
|
||||
- Command line option changes (see http://tinyurl.com/zbycz)
|
||||
- New option --build-dir
|
||||
- The --clean option cleans only target below the current directory,
|
||||
not globally.
|
||||
- New --clean-all option was added.
|
||||
- New option --debug-building
|
||||
- Running "bjam some_directory" works even if there's no Jamfile
|
||||
in the current directory.
|
||||
|
||||
- Toolset improvements:
|
||||
- Assembling support with gcc, borland and msvc.
|
||||
- Support amd64/ia64 cross-compiling with msvc.
|
||||
- Improved, registry-based autodetection for msvc.
|
||||
- Serialize execution of gcc.link actions
|
||||
- Precompiled headers supported on MSVC
|
||||
(Need documentation)
|
||||
|
||||
- New features <warnings> and <warnings-as-errors>
|
||||
- The 'glob' rule accepts wildcards in directory names.
|
||||
- The 'stage' rule was renamed to 'install'
|
||||
(the old name still available for compatibility)
|
||||
- The <tag> feature can accept user-defined function as value
|
||||
(URL)
|
||||
- The 'install' rule can install a directory hierarchy preserving relative
|
||||
paths.
|
||||
- The 'install' rule no longer allows to change library
|
||||
name during install.
|
||||
- The Jamfile referred via 'use-project' may declare project id different
|
||||
from the one in 'use-project'.
|
||||
- The 'using' rule now searches the directory of containing Jamfile.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The following bugs were fixed:
|
||||
|
||||
- The <library> feature was ignored for static linking
|
||||
- Fix #include scanning for C files.
|
||||
- Child projects were sometimes loaded before parent projects.
|
||||
- Fix project references with absolute paths on Windows.
|
||||
- The <dependency> feature was ignored for 'install' targets.
|
||||
- A generator having the same type in sources and targets was causing hang.
|
||||
- Use 'icpc' command for Intel, fixing errors with 8.1 and higher.
|
||||
- Generation of PS files with the FOP tool really produces .PS files.
|
||||
- No dependency scanning was done for C files.
|
||||
- The 'constant' and 'path-constant' rules did not accept multi-element
|
||||
value.
|
||||
- Don't pass -fcoalesce-templates to gcc on OSX 10.4
|
||||
- Fix static lib suffix on OSX.
|
||||
- Fix rpath setting on Intel/Linux.
|
||||
- The 'install' rule don't unnecessary scans #includes in installed
|
||||
headers.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Developer visible changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Ability to customize type's prefix depending on build properties.
|
||||
- Generator's 'run' method can return usage-requirements.
|
||||
- Main target rule is automatically declared for each new target type.
|
||||
- 'Link incompatible' feature attribute was removed
|
||||
- Generators no longer bypass unhandled sources, they just ignore them.
|
||||
- If there are several applicable generators, immediately report ambiguity.
|
||||
Provide a way to explicitly resolve conflicts between generators.
|
||||
- The 'flags' rule can match absense of feature.
|
||||
- Great improvement in response files handling
|
||||
- The 'toolset.flags' rules allows value-less feature to signify
|
||||
absense of this feature (fix hack-hack).
|
||||
- Automatically declare main target rule for each declared target type.
|
||||
- When inheriting types, inherit generators for the base type, as opposed
|
||||
to using various hacks to invoke base generators when needed.
|
||||
- Improve diagnostic for "duplicate actual target" and generator ambiguity.
