Changes in v1.0

Interface Enhancements

added auto-configuration feature to simplify setup - just drag-n-drop directories
added preference to change where temp files are created
added warning dialog/option for removal of build products
added option to skip data collection (build command step) for troubleshooting long-running conversions

Conversion Engine

added support for "master" object files (object files composed of multiple object files)
added support for .ads and .adb files (for initial Ada support)
added shell script phase to certain dylib targets to create symlinks
cp tool now supports multiple-source single-destination (previously only single-source single-destination)
external libraries without "lib" prefix are added to ldflags (Project Builder wasn't handling these correctly)
external libraries with "lib" prefix are added to the "External Libraries" group, rather than "Linked Libraries", to indicate libraries used in imported targets but external to the project.
fixed various bugs when paths contained spaces
for reliability, changed the way project-local static libs are linked to (now using direct reference instead of -l flag)
removed adding of system include paths to projects (/usr/include and /usr/local/include)
fixed problems resulting from using gcc instead of g++ when using real tools
fixed mishandling of object files without .o or .lo suffix
added -mdynamic-no-pic/-fpic conflict detection/resolution

Changes in v1.0b2

Enhancements

added more informative error messages for common problems (for example, when not setting valid parameters)
added external library support. If a library can't be found from parsing commands, ConvertMake will try to find it on disk, and if found put it in the "Linked Libraries" group.
made undefined targets a warning instead of unrecoverable error
added support for "cp" tool to track copied libraries and object files

Bug Fixes

added handling of .cc file extension (now handles .cxx, .cpp, .cp, .cc, .c, .C, .mm, .M, and .m)
added handling of gcc option "--static" (previously only handled "-static")
minor appearance fixes (source tree controls layout, error dialog shadow problem)
handle growing/expanding static library archives (e.g. ar -q)
