| API Change Report: |
| |
| A tool to generate a report of API status changes between two ICU4C releases. |
| (ICU4J has a builtin change report generator) |
| |
| Requirements: |
| - Everything needed to build ICU4C from a command line (UNIX) environment |
| - Doxygen (for generating docs) |
| - Java JDK 1.5+ |
| - Apache Ant |
| - Xalan/Xerces ( put the jars in the lib/ directory ) - the built in version to Java doesn't seem to work properly. |
| |
| To use the utility: |
| 1. setup ICU |
| (put the two ICU releases on your machine ^_^ ) |
| run 'configure' in both releases (or runConfigureICU) |
| Doxygen must be found during configure. |
| 2. create a Makefile.local with just these two lines: |
| OLD_ICU=/xsrl/E/icu-1.0 |
| NEW_ICU=/xsrl/E/icu-6.8 |
| ( where these are the paths to the parent of 'source', etc) |
| 3. Build the API docs |
| make |
| 4. This will create an 'APIChangeReport.html' in this directory. Check it over, then check it in. |
