Code Fusion 1.1 Specification.

Some of the main goals of the 1.1 release are to implement features and bug fixes with minimal engineering and documentation changes.  Any larger changes in the engineering space will be more effective in the in Code Fusion X release.  The Code Fusion X release will be a release based on the code in devo, this has many enhancements, such as the Itcl3.0 upgrade. (Refer to the Code Fusion X document for more information.)
 
 

Main requirements:

1. Change all occurrences of Source-Navigator to Code Fusion.

This has been achieved by adding a new option, --enable-product-name, to the configure script. If the this option is not specified and --enable-production is specified then it will set the default product name to Code Fusion.  Another option will have to be added to allow the launch name to be changed, possibly --enable-exec-name=codefusion.  This will allow the user to launch Code Fusion (the product formally know as Source-Navigator) by typing 'codefusion' at a command line.
 
2. Add support for additional and cross compilation tool chains.
Support for cross compilation tool chains and additional tool chains must be written in the form of a toolchain specification using the snToolChain class.  Once this has been done, support must be added for configuring Code Fusion to use the required tool chains.  When building Code Fusion, it will include the native tool chain for the build platform by default and, if --target is specified, it will include the tool chain specified by --target..   Additional configuration option must be added to allow additional tool chains to be specified; --enable-toolchains= can be used to specify additional tool chains.   All tool chains specified must exist in Code Fusion.

Minor enhancements and features changes (with minimal documentation impact):

The removal of the default 'b' prefix on executable names. (Minor document change.)

Correct handling of "xterm -e". (Minor, if any documentation change.)

Recursive dependancy generation. (No documentation changes required.)

Adding support for building a shared libraries. (Minor, if any documentation impact.)

Additional information required or to be decided:

Which tool chains are we going to support? (palm pilot, third party tool chains?)

Measure current documentation impact and assess time/resource to handle farther changes.
(How much work can we do if it's only a minor docs impact?)
