		446
		447	`These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC`

		466	`a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.`
		467	`It could also have been written as:`
		468	`PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)`
		469	`but NOT as:`
		470	`PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)`

		2417

		2440	`Debug information is created for both production and debug builds`
		2441	`Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the`
		2442	`executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner`
		2443	`as the main binary.`
		2444
		2445	`This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while`
		2446	`retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded`
		2447	`device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the`
		2448	`debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of`
		2449	`both worlds.`

		2465	`Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of`

		3107	`* jats label command - Renaming a label`
		3108	`Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is`
		3109	`based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB`

		3111
		3112	`* Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package`
		3113	`archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly`

		3137	`Major changes:`
		3138	`* New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies`
		3139	`This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be`
		3140	`consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies`
		3141	`the operation of maintain build files during development.`
		3142
		3143	`It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a`
		3144	`build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.`
		3145
		3146	`See: 'jats upddep -help' - For brief help`
		3147	`'jats upddep -man' - For full manual`
		3148

		3152	`jats upddep -rtag=6684`
		3153
		3154	`* MicroTec Compiler toolset`
		3155	`When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before`
		3156	`compiling the objects that go into the THX.`
		3157
		3158	`This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library`
		3159	`can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.`
		3160
		3161	`Minor changes:`
		3162
		3163	`Internal changes:`

		3169	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3170	`Major changes:`
		3171	`* Makefile directive helper function: If`
		3172	`Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the`
		3173	`outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in`
		3174	`all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the`
		3175	`remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument`
		3176	`stream.`
		3177
		3178	`Example:`
		3179
		3180	`SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS`

		3185	`* Makefile directive: InstallLibs`
		3186	`Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'`
		3187	`directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs`
		3188	`directive.`
		3189
		3190	`* GCC Toolkit`
		3191	`Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline`
		3192	`with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some`
		3193	`libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at`
		3194	`the point of termination.`
		3195
		3196	`* Jats save_build utility`
		3197	`Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file`
		3198	`under windows.`
		3199
		3200	`* Jats sandbox`
		3201	`ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that`

		3203	`in different sandboxes.`
		3204

		3219	`* jats label utility`
		3220	`Improved handling of the -file and -dir options`
		3221	`These options will now label the directory elements within the paths`
		3222	`specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.`
		3223	`This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.`
		3224
		3225	`Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels`

		3240
		3241	`* Solaris targets`
		3242	`Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32`
		3243	`It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only`
		3244	`available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one`
		3245	`machine type.`

		3269
		3270	`* Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds`
		3271	`All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)`
		3272	`This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared`
		3273	`libraries.`
		3274
		3275	`* Solaris builds`
		3276	`Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before`
		3277	`the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing`
		3278	`dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause`
		3279	`of the build failure.`
		3280
		3281
		3282	`Internal changes:`
		3283	`* Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program`

		3346	`Useful side effects include:`

		3398
309	dpurdie	3399	`The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered`
307	dpurdie	3400	`in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile`
309	dpurdie	3401	`to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.`

289	dpurdie	3591	`Version: 2.79.0000.cr Released: 10-Jun-09`
		3592	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3593	`Major changes:`
		3594	`* New Platform: DELPHI7`
		3595	`Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using`
		3596	`Borlands Delphi Version 7.`
		3597
		3598	`See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options`
		3599	`to the Prog and SharedLib directives.`
		3600
		3601	`This toolset has a number of limitations:`
		3602	`1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single`
		3603	`makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library`
		3604	`names cannot be changed.`
		3605
		3606	`2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated`
		3607	`artifacts is very simplistic.`
		3608
		3609	`Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the`
		3610	`name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.`
		3611	`ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );`
		3612	`Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'`
		3613
		3614	`Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk`
		3615	`file.`
		3616	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyPackage' );`
		3617	`will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file`
		3618	`MyPackage.dpk.`
		3619
		3620	`Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr`
		3621	`file.`
		3622	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyDll' );`
		3623	`will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file`
		3624	`MyDll.dpr.`
		3625
		3626	`Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr`
		3627	`file.`
		3628	`ie: Prog ( '*', 'MyProg' );`
		3629	`will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file`
		3630	`MyProg.dpr.`
		3631
		3632	`Minor changes:`
		3633	`* New EnvVar: DELPHI7`
		3634	`Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the`
		3635	`standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not`
		3636	`c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7`
		3637
		3638	`* BuildVersion directive`
		3639	`Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information`
		3640	`in a Delphi Unit.`
		3641
		3642	`Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.`
		3643	`If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files`
		3644	`will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will`
		3645	`'know' the location of the files.`
		3646
		3647	`* Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs`
		3648	`Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.`
		3649
		3650	`Internal Changes:`
		3651	`* ToolsetSHLD functions`
		3652	`Pass in the shared library version string as an argument`
		3653	`Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner`
		3654	`that is decoupled from the toolsets.`
		3655
		3656	`* Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries`
		3657	`merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets`
		3658	`and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.`

		3673	`Manager`
287	dpurdie	3674
		3675	`Minor changes:`
		3676	`* The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the`

277	dpurdie	3737
279	dpurdie	3738	`JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built`
		3739	`on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a`
		3740	`Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need`
281	dpurdie	3741	`not contain '!SOLARIS'`
279	dpurdie	3742
		3743	`This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not`

279	dpurdie	3760	`* Sandbox command`
		3761	`Added build, make, clean, clobber commands`
		3762
		3763	`Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the`

		3765
		3766	`* MCR Toolset`

		3789	`it contains 'jar' files.`
		3790
		3791	`Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT`
		3792
		3793	`Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow`
		3794	`environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'`
		3795
		3796	`* BuildVersion directive`

		4728	`* Jats Tool: CCbc2`
		4729	`Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two`

		4732	`process.`
		4733
		4734	`Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.`

		4742	`* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat`

		4790	`Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset`
		4791	`This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been`

		4795	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		4796	`If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make`

		4944	`Multiple Parent detection`
		4945	`A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the`

		4965	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4966	`Version: 2.71.0.cr Released: 10-Oct-07`
		4967	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4968	`Major changes:`
		4969	`Makefile generation and make recursion`
		4970	`Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by`
		4971	`which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.`
		4972
		4973	`Summary of changes:`
		4974	`- Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories`
		4975	`and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program that performs`
		4976	`the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for`
		4977	`flexibility.`
		4978
		4979	`The user interface remains identical: jats make ....`
		4980
		4981	`- Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text`
		4982	`file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the`
		4983	`interface directory and associated build information.`
		4984
		4985	`- Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.`
		4986	`On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less`
		4987	`than one second.`
		4988
		4989	`- Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent`
		4990	`building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for`
		4991	`each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every`
		4992	`makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity`
		4993	`testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the`
		4994	`toolset. It is an expensive operation.`
		4995
		4996	`- Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism`
		4997	`for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,`
		4998	`rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.`
		4999
		5000	`- Better makefile rebuilding`
		5001	`Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to`
		5002	`detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-`
		5003	`building them.`
		5004
		5005	`- Detection of build file changes`
		5006	`The make process will detect that the build file has been modified`
		5007	`and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It`
		5008	`does not prevent the 'make' operation.`
		5009
		5010	`- Quieter make output`
		5011	`The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.`
		5012
		5013
		5014	`Minor changes:`
		5015	`MakeAnt Directive`
		5016	`Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5`
		5017
		5018	`JATS command "debug" and "prod"`
		5019	`These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:`
		5020	`jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args`
		5021	`Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution`
		5022	`display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.`
		5023
		5024	`CSHARP toolset`
		5025	`Correctly detect missing compiler directories`

		5119	`Minor changes:`
		5120	`* Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path`
		5121	`Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.`
		5122
		5123	`Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new`
		5124	`AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched`
		5125	`last.`
		5126
		5127	`For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:`

		5152	`Major changes:`
		5153
		5154	`Minor changes:`
		5155	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5156	`Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the`
		5157	`dependent packages.`
		5158
		5159	`* RunTest operation`

		5165	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5166	`Version: JATS_2.68.0 Released: 20-Aug-07`
		5167	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5168	`Major changes:`
		5169	`* Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)`
		5170
		5171	`It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and`
		5172	`javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was`
		5173	`normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages`
		5174	`were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search`
		5175	`path.`
		5176
		5177	`JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt`
		5178	`directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and`
		5179	`reproducible.`
		5180
		5181	`This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.`
		5182	`This is better than building incorrectly.`
		5183
		5184	`There are several aspects to the change`
		5185	`1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If`
		5186	`the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the`
		5187	`PATH then these will be used and report an error.`
		5188
		5189	`2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build`
		5190	`Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.`
		5191	`Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is`
		5192	`controlled separately.`
		5193
		5194	`Minor changes:`
		5195	`* Sanitize the PATH environment variable`
		5196	`Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched`
		5197	`Remove duplicates`
		5198	`Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH`
		5199
		5200	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5201	`Version: JATS_2.67.1 Released: 17-Aug-07`
		5202	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5203	`Major changes:`
		5204
		5205	`Minor changes:`
		5206	`* Makefile sanity test`
		5207	`Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are`
		5208	`not then run on a machine of a different type.`
		5209
		5210	`This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-`
		5211	`x86 machine.`
		5212
		5213	`* Correct bug in RunTest`
		5214	`RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory`
		5215
		5216	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5217	`Version: JATS_2.67.0 Released: 13-Aug-07`
		5218	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5219	`Major changes:`
		5220	`* RunTest directive`
		5221	`Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the`
		5222	`CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing`
		5223	`toolset specific test frameworks has been added.`
		5224
		5225	`Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.`
		5226	`The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option`
		5227	`--FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program`
		5228	`under test will be passed to the framework. program.`
		5229
		5230	`If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework`
		5231	`builder within the current toolset.`
		5232
		5233	`When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:`
		5234	`'--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.`
		5235
		5236	`With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit`
		5237	`will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile`
		5238	`containing the RunTest directive.`
		5239
		5240	`The Nunit Framework supports the following options:`
		5241	`--Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+`
		5242
		5243	`This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will`
		5244	`be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external`
		5245	`package or the components 'local' lib directory.`
		5246
		5247	`SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:`
		5248	`--NonJats This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a`
		5249	`P or D suffix.`
		5250	`--Jats (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will`
		5251	`select the correct library type for this build.`
		5252
		5253	`Minor changes:`
		5254	`* New Cache cleanup mechanism`
		5255	`When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within`
		5256	`the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to`
		5257	`the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are`
		5258	`frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.`
		5259
		5260	`* Save Build Utility`
		5261	`This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file`
		5262	`used in a ripple build.`
		5263
		5264	`The utility has been enhanced to detect a reserved checkout of the`
		5265	`build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.`
		5266
		5267	`* Release Utility`
		5268	`The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked`
		5269	`when an error is encountered.`
		5270
		5271	`This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be`
		5272	`unlocked if a build error occurs.`
		5273
		5274	`* Jats caching local copy of itself`
		5275	`Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message`
		5276	`being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.`
		5277
		5278	`* Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step`
		5279	`before the makefiles are created.`
		5280
		5281	`* TestProg directive`
		5282	`TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs`
		5283
		5284	`* Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with`
		5285	`a 'space' or '$' in the file name.`
		5286
		5287	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`

		5289	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5290	`Major changes:`
		5291	`* New build target`

		5293	`LMOS_LINUX_ETX - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target`
		5294
		5295	`These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.`
		5296	`DEVLINUX`
		5297	`LMOS_DEVLINUX`
		5298
		5299	`* Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]`
		5300	`Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file`
		5301	`transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.`
		5302
		5303	`Minor changes:`
		5304	`* Added utility class to provide directory searching`
		5305	`To be used in JATS and JATS support tools`
		5306
		5307	`* tweaks to the C# toolset`
		5308	`Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs`
		5309
		5310	`Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx`
		5311	`and .cs files.`
		5312
		5313	`Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right`
		5314	`thing.`
		5315
		5316	`* Microtec ColdFire compiler`
		5317	`Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a`
		5318	`local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control`
		5319	`were it places temp files.`
		5320
		5321	`Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected`
		5322	`interaction with other builds.`
		5323
		5324	`* Release utility command`
		5325	`Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create`
		5326	`multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique`
		5327	`component in the clearcase tag name.`

		5397	`* Tool: gen_msprojects`
		5398	`Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production`
		5399	`build.`
		5400
		5401	`Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod`
		5402
		5403	`* Tool: escrow`
		5404	`New features`
		5405	`Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but`

		5413	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5414	`Version: JATS_2.65.1 Released: 30-May-07`
		5415	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5416	`Major changes:`
		5417	`* Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended`
		5418	`through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce`
		5419	`the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.`
		5420
		5421	`* GenerateFiles`
		5422	`Added the options:`
		5423	`--UnknownPreq - Will force the recipe to be run every time`
		5424	`the generated files are required. May be used`
		5425	`when the dependancies are too complex to`
		5426	`describe. ie: Entire directory tree.`
		5427
		5428	`--AutoGenerate - Will not force the recipe to be run during the`
		5429	`'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates`
		5430	`source files. Allows recipes to be run very`
		5431	`late. ie: when the dependent files are actually`
		5432	`required.`
		5433
		5434
		5435	`Minor changes:`
		5436	`* GenerateFile directive`
		5437	`Added --Var(BuildRoot)`
		5438
		5439	`* GCC Toolset`
		5440	`Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent`
		5441	`on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to`
		5442	`be rebuilt.`
		5443
		5444	`* MakeAnt and MakeProject directives`
		5445	`Preserve the order in which projects are built.`
		5446

		5450	`Major changes:`
		5451	`* Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases`
		5452	`The database location, user and password have been made configurable via`
		5453	`environment variables.`
		5454
		5455	`Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being`
		5456	`moved.`
		5457
		5458	`This will affect users that:`
		5459	`1) Use tools that access RM or DM`
		5460	`Some tools that build deployable packages`
		5461
		5462	`2) Use the ABT system`
		5463	`The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide`
		5464	`the required configuration`
		5465
		5466	`If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on`
		5467	`the build machine then you will need to add the following environment`
		5468	`definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.`

		5500	`The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages`
		5501	`need to be converted.`
		5502
		5503	`* Building Linux Device Drivers`
		5504	`The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.`
		5505	`Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide`

		5566
		5567	`LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600`

		5570
		5571	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5572	`These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to`

		5574
		5575	`The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,`

		5581	`* New build platform: WINCE`
		5582	`This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.`
		5583	`Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for`
		5584	`consumption on all WINCE machines.`
		5585
		5586	`The current list of WINCE targets is:`

		5598	`The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.`
		5599
		5600	`* JATS makefile.pl`
		5601	`The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles`
		5602	`that contain packaging directives.`
		5603
		5604	`There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in`

		5606
		5607	`Minor changes:`
		5608	`* Directive: PackageFile`
		5609	`Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming`
		5610	`conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain`
		5611	`an '='.`
		5612
		5613	`Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead`
		5614	`of "--Subdir=etc".`
		5615
		5616	`* JATS Internal utility: cmdfile`
		5617	`Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that`
		5618	`provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.`
		5619
		5620	`This version will display the library search path with one item per line,`

		5623	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5624	`Version: JATS_2.63.0 Released: 5-Apr-07`
		5625	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5626	`Major changes:`
		5627
		5628	`* JATS release command`
		5629	`Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is`
		5630	`specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.`
		5631
		5632	`Rules are:`
		5633	`Modify a file: File will branch`
		5634	`Adding a file: Containing directory will not branch`
		5635	`File will be placed on a branch`
		5636	`Add a directory: Containing directory will not branch`
		5637	`New directory will branch`
		5638
		5639	`Minor changes:`
		5640	`* JATS release command`
		5641	`Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the`
		5642	`user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.`
		5643
		5644	`* JATS label command`
		5645	`Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label`
		5646	`is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.`
		5647
		5648	`* JATS make`
		5649	`Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and`
		5650	`Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package`
		5651	`was re-packaged.`
		5652
		5653	`* JATS escrow`
		5654	`Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.`
		5655	`Use jats escrow -help for details`
		5656
		5657	`* makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt`
		5658	`This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java`
		5659	`packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.`
		5660
		5661	`This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in`
		5662	`packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the`
		5663	`interface directory.`
		5664
		5665	`* build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive`
		5666	`Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.`
		5667	`Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'`
		5668	`directory as seen by the package.`
		5669
		5670	`Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10`
		5671
		5672	`* JAVA 6`
		5673	`JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y`
		5674	`environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.`
		5675
		5676	`The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5`
		5677	`and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.`
		5678
		5679	`The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables`
		5680
		5681	`* Jats command: vars`
		5682	`Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory`
		5683	`These indicate potential problems.`
		5684
		5685	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5686	`Version: JATS_2.62.4 Released: 20-Mar-07`
		5687	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5688	`Major changes:`
		5689	`* JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)`
		5690	`When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned`
		5691	`libarry is also created.`
		5692
		5693	`Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical`
		5694	`copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is`
		5695	`'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two`
		5696	`files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)`
		5697	`The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug`
		5698	`information contained within the file.`
		5699
		5700	`This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',`
		5701	`'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.`
		5702
		5703	`The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used`
		5704	`within the build environment and dpkg_archive.`
		5705
		5706	`* Building Perl Modules`
		5707	`Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the`
		5708	`documentation on the build machine.`
		5709
		5710	`Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.`
		5711
		5712	`Minor changes:`
		5713	`* jats create_dpkg`
		5714	`Added an option to create a built.generic file`
		5715	`This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.`
		5716
		5717	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5718	`Version: JATS_2.62.3 Released: 28-Feb-07`
		5719	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5720	`Major changes:`
		5721	`* JATS JAVA build target`
		5722	`The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the`
		5723	`default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.`
		5724
		5725	`Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar`
		5726	`JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.`
		5727	`Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this`
		5728	`is then picked up as the default version.`
		5729
		5730	`If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the`
		5731	`build.pl file.`
		5732
		5733	`Minor changes:`
		5734	`* jats release`
		5735	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH`
		5736	`Issue an error if it cannot be found.`
		5737	`This error indicates bad DevEnv setup`
		5738
		5739	`Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.`
		5740	`Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify`
		5741	`the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,`
		5742	`based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change`
		5743	`the name of the view.`
		5744
		5745	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5746	`Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.`
		5747
		5748	`* MOS Toolset`
		5749	`When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly`
		5750	`used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set`
		5751	`up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization`
		5752
		5753	`Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );`

		5759	`Major changes:`
		5760
		5761	`Minor changes:`
		5762	`* JATS environment`
		5763	`Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH`
		5764	`environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities`
		5765	`that are located in the Perl bin directory.`
		5766
		5767	`Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html`
		5768
		5769	`* Use of GENERIC platforms`
		5770	`Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform`
		5771	`specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because`
		5772	`they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need`
		5773	`to be packaged.`
		5774
		5775	`* Generated makefiles`
		5776	`Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.`
		5777
		5778	`* Generating MOS THX files`
		5779	`Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX`
		5780	`files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.`
		5781	`This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.`
		5782
		5783	`SharedLib ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );`
		5784
		5785	`* JATS release`
		5786	`Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix`

		5790
		5791	`* JATS Toolset`
		5792	`Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)`
		5793	`This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK`

		5799	`Major changes:`
		5800
		5801	`Minor changes:`
		5802	`* jats label`
		5803	`Added a -vob=name option`
		5804	`This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete`
		5805	`labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option`
		5806	`cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.`
		5807	`It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.`
		5808
		5809	`Added a -user=name option`
		5810	`This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the`
		5811	`label to the named user.`
		5812
		5813	`* jats release`
		5814	`Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner`
		5815	`Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.`
		5816
		5817	`* JATS build.pl`
		5818	`BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.`
		5819	`ie:`

		5828	`These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile`
		5829	`values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of`
		5830	`the makefile internals. ie:`
		5831	`--Var(BuildName)`
		5832	`will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)`
		5833	`-BuildName=MyPackage`
		5834
		5835	`The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.`
		5836
		5837	`* GenerateFiles`

		5846	`Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages`
		5847
		5848	`Internal changes:`
		5849	`* GenerateFiles`
		5850	`Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.`
		5851
		5852	`--Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an`
		5853	`external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.`

		5856	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5857	`Version: JATS_2.61.3 Released: 14-Dec-06`
		5858	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5859	`Major changes:`
		5860	`* Caching JATS`
		5861	`Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local`
		5862	`drive. This is applicable to windows.`
		5863
		5864	`This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in`
		5865	`dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of`
		5866	`then using JATS across a slow(network) link.`
		5867
		5868	`The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.`
		5869	`Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be`
		5870	`effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.`
		5871
		5872	`Use: Build Machines and Windows Users`
		5873
		5874	`Minor changes:`
		5875	`* Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option`
		5876	`Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:`
		5877	`TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.`
		5878
		5879	`* jats build`
		5880	`If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache`
		5881	`packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package`
		5882	`processed by the build.`
		5883
		5884	`* jats build`
		5885	`Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the`
		5886	`makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating`
		5887	`makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error`
		5888	`message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users`
		5889	`from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.`
		5890
		5891	`* PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr`
		5892	`Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the`
		5893	`Path is not specified.`
		5894
		5895	`Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in`
		5896	`conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a`
		5897	`package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified`
		5898	`--Dir=$Pinc`
		5899	`but $Pinc is not defined.`
		5900
		5901	`* Purify and Purecov under Windows`
		5902	`Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the`
		5903	`Windows platform.`
		5904
		5905	`- OPTIONS=purecov`
		5906	`Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required`
		5907	`by 'purecov.`
		5908
		5909	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		5910	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows`
		5911
		5912	`- OPTIONS=purify`
		5913	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		5914	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.`
		5915	`Under WIndows this option does nothing.`

		5921	`Major changes:`
		5922	`* makefile.pl directive Platform`
		5923	`This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation`
		5924	`Example:`
		5925	`Platform ('!MOSCF');`
		5926	`Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF`
		5927	`This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');`
		5928
		5929	`Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have`
		5930	`been determined.`
		5931
		5932	`Minor changes:`
		5933	`* Added the ScanList directive.`
		5934	`This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be`
		5935	`located at build-time.`
		5936
		5937	`* Unix based systems`
		5938	`If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be`
		5939	`generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.`
		5940
		5941	`* MakeLinuxDriver`
		5942	`Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the`
		5943	`driver being built.`

		5973	`Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.`
		5974
		5975	`GenerateFiles.`
		5976	`Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does`

		5984
		5985	`* GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)`
		5986	`Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.`
		5987	`There are two mechanism:`
		5988
		5989	`Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl`
		5990	`the option can apply to all programs being built.`
		5991
		5992	`CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' ); - Generate static programs`
		5993	`CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' ); - Default`

		6003	`Major changes:`
		6004	`* SunWorks Toolset`
		6005	`Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library`
		6006	`Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries`

		6025	`Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset`
		6026	Removed the use of `uname`.
		6027
		6028	`* Added platforms`
		6029	`TP5600 ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )`
		6030	`TP5600_ARM9TDMI`
		6031	`TP5600_EMU`

		6045	`similar, but more pronounced, issue.`
		6046
		6047	`* Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)`
		6048	`New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS`

		6148
		6149	`Minor changes:`
		6150	`* WIN32 and WINCE toolsets`
		6151	`SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'`

		6188	`Initial release.`
		6189
		6190	`* Packaging directives`
		6191	`Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into`
		6192	`a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.`
		6193
		6194	`Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on`
		6195	`SOLARIS`
		6196	`WIN32`
		6197
		6198	`* Removal of support for badly formed packages`
		6199	`As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory`
		6200	`will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect`
		6201	`directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose`
		6202	`of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,`
		6203	`solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).`
		6204
		6205	`* Build Platform target name expansion facility`
		6206	`The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They`
		6207	`will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .`
		6208
		6209
		6210	`Minor changes:`
		6211	`* Utility: JATS LABEL`

		6214
		6215	`* Utility: JATS RELEASE`
		6216	`Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given`
		6217	`location`
		6218
		6219	`Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for`
		6220	`controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx`
		6221
		6222	`* Utility genrc`
		6223	`Added the company name to the copyright string`
		6224
		6225	`* Utility: jats_save_build`
		6226	`Added option: -new`
		6227	`This option forces the saved file only a new branch.`
		6228	`The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific`
		6229	`branch. Useful when branching an entire release.`
		6230
		6231	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6232	`Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.`
		6233	`Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.`
		6234
		6235	`* Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir`
		6236	`These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for`
		6237	`migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.`
		6238
		6239	`The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl`
		6240	`features - in a uniform manner.`
		6241
		6242
		6243	`Internal Changes:`
		6244	`* Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts`
		6245	`directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.`
		6246
		6247	`Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:`
		6248	`1) Platform information available at build time`
		6249	`2) Dynamic platform names`
		6250
		6251	`* Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform`
		6252	`The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the`
		6253	`machine on which the platform is invoked.`
		6254
		6255	`Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into`
		6256	`configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the`
		6257	`SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.`
		6258
		6259	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6260	`Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32`
		6261	`platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer`
		6262	`needed.`
		6263
		6264	`A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be`
		6265	`located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change`
		6266	`should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle`
		6267	`files from all of these.`

		6279	`Version: JATS_2.55.0 Released: 3-Aug-06`
		6280	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6281	`Major changes:`
		6282	`* Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used`
		6283	`Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of`
		6284	`JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.`
		6285
		6286	`The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.`
		6287
		6288	`JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up`
		6289	`the operations.`
		6290
		6291	`The version option MUST be the first option.`
		6292
		6293	`The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.`
		6294	`This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.`
		6295
		6296	`Example: jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build`
		6297
		6298	`* Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script`
		6299	`and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.`
		6300
		6301	`* Utility: create_dpkg`
		6302	`Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts`
		6303	`Extended the built-in help`

		6316	`Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from`
		6317	`the command line.`
		6318
		6319	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6320	`Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the`
		6321	`ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.`
		6322
		6323	`Internal Changes:`
		6324	`* Common Error Reporting`
		6325	`Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels`
		6326	`for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars`
		6327	`of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE`
		6328	`level.`
		6329
		6330	`Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is`
		6331	`displayed.`

		6347	`* IAR toolset`
		6348	`Added AT7272 support`
		6349

		6367	`Major changes:`
		6368
		6369	`Minor changes:`
		6370	`* Mictotec toolset`
		6371	`Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production`
		6372	`builds.`
		6373
		6374	`* JATS Core`
		6375	`Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an`
		6376	`auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their`
		6377	`behaviour.`
		6378
		6379	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6380	`Version: JATS_2.54.0 Released: 22-Jun-06`
		6381	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6382	`Major changes:`
		6383	`* Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.`
		6384	`Deployment package will be affected.`
		6385
		6386	`The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment`
		6387	`support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:`
		6388
		6389	`BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );`
		6390
		6391	`This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided`
		6392	`by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start`
		6393	`of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield`
		6394	`packages.`
		6395
		6396	`* Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS`
		6397	`The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex`
		6398	`and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.`
		6399
		6400	`This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'`
		6401	`the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'`
		6402
		6403	`Minor changes:`
		6404	`* SubDir directive`
		6405	`Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies`
		6406	`a directory from two different makefiles.`
		6407
		6408	`* Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend`
		6409	`If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated`
		6410	`dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence`
		6411	`of the file usage.`
		6412
		6413	`* New utility: jats_manifest`
		6414	`Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.`
		6415	`Beta Release: Windows only at the moment`
		6416
		6417	`* Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc`
		6418	`The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries`
		6419	`generated within the build and have been installed locally.`
		6420
		6421	`* Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script`
		6422	`This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.`
		6423	`In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and`
		6424	`will execute a JATS extended command.`
		6425
		6426
		6427	`Internal Changes:`
		6428	`* Code refactor`
		6429	`Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.`
		6430
		6431	`* Deployment utilities`
		6432	`The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file`
		6433	`Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.`
		6434	`The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and`
		6435	`the module can locate the file.`
		6436
		6437	`Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate`
		6438	`the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.`
		6439
		6440	`* JATS core`
		6441	`Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.`
		6442
		6443	`Better parsing of descpkg files.`
		6444
		6445	`* JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm`
		6446	`Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs`
		6447	`through the use of environment variables.`
		6448
		6449	`A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment`
		6450	`variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.`
		6451
		6452	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6453	`Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:`
		6454	`deployfiles - as used by the deployment system`
		6455	`tools/scripts - as used by perl based extensions`
		6456
		6457	`* Make environment`
		6458	`Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to`
		6459	`include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.`
		6460
		6461
		6462	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6463	`Version: JATS_2.53.2 Released: 13-Jun-06`
		6464	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6465	`Major changes:`
		6466	`* Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)`
		6467	`Added support for SILENT_MODE`
		6468
		6469
		6470	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6471	`Version: JATS_2.53.1 Released: Not release`
		6472	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6473
		6474	`Not Released.`
		6475	`This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis`
		6476	`for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.`
		6477
		6478
		6479	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6480	`Version: JATS_2.53.0 Released: 11-Apr-06`
		6481	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6482	`Major changes:`
		6483	`* Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access`
		6484	`The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been`
		6485	`radically replaced.`
		6486
		6487	`A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.`
		6488	`Usage:`
		6489	`jats etool test_rmconnection`
		6490
		6491	`The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle`
		6492	`Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with`
		6493	`this solution:`
		6494	`- Required the installation of two Perl Modules`
		6495	`- Required the installation of an Oracle client`
		6496	`- Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris`
		6497	`- Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline`
		6498
		6499	`The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin`
		6500	`client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in`
		6501	`order to work.`
		6502
		6503	`JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but`
		6504	`reduced functionality.`
		6505
		6506
		6507	`Minor changes:`
		6508	`* makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		6509	`Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.`
		6510	`This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.`
		6511
		6512	`* makefile.pl directive: SetList`
		6513	`Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists`
		6514	`within the makefiles.`
		6515	`Options:`
		6516	`--NoWarn Disable name clash warnings`
		6517	`--Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+ Add to list in selected projects`
		6518	`--Unique Add only if not already present`
		6519	`--Clear Clear list, before adding new items`
		6520	`--Append Append items to list (default)`
		6521	`-- Disable/Enable option parsing`
		6522	`Useage:`
		6523
		6524	`SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');`
		6525	`SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );`
		6526
		6527	`* Makefile.pl directive: RunTest`
		6528	`Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file`
		6529	`is not in the current directory.`
		6530
		6531	`* Jats Command: ant'`
		6532	`This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option`
		6533	`to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.`
		6534
		6535	`eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant`
		6536
		6537	`* TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support`
		6538	`Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next`
		6539	`generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version`
		6540	`of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr`
		6541
		6542	`* Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh`
		6543	`Added provision to process user command arguments.`
		6544	`Thus`
		6545
		6546	`set_WIN32.bat prog`
		6547
		6548	`will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog`
		6549

		6552	`Version: JATS_2.52.2 Released: 30-Mar-06`
		6553	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6554	`Major changes:`
		6555
		6556	`Minor changes:`
		6557	`* Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.`
		6558	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be`
		6559	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project`
		6560	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6561	`$(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always`
		6562
		6563	`* m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware`
		6564	`Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are`
		6565	`created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.`
		6566
		6567	`Internal changes:`
		6568	`* JATS toolsets`
		6569	`Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created`
		6570	`as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a`
		6571	`number of files, some which may be packaged.`
		6572
		6573	`Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now`
		6574	`they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.`
		6575
		6576	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6577	`Version: JATS_2.52.1 Released: 29-Mar-06`
		6578	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6579	`Major changes:`
		6580	`* Jats command: etool`
		6581	`Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment`
		6582	`tools to use the JATS core perl modules.`
		6583
		6584	`* Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer`
		6585	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be`
		6586	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt`
		6587	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6588	`$(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always`
		6589	`$ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always`
		6590
		6591	`Minor changes:`
		6592
		6593
		6594	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6595	`Version: JATS_2.52.0 Released: 27-Mar-06`
		6596	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6597	`Major changes:`
		6598	`* JATS environment variables`
		6599	`Added GBE_DPKG_STORE`
		6600	`Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow`
		6601	`read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be`
		6602	`searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,`
		6603	`will not publish packages in this repository.`
		6604
		6605	`Uses: Seed repository for a complete build`
		6606	`Remote repository`
		6607
		6608	`Added GBE_DPLY`
		6609	`Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the`
		6610	`placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.`
		6611
		6612	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6613	`Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.`
		6614	`Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This`
		6615	`created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by`
		6616	`the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.`
		6617
		6618	`The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be`
		6619	`processed once and it will be processed last.`
		6620
		6621
		6622	`Minor changes:`
		6623	`* JATS utility: build`
		6624	`* JATS utility: cache_dpkg`
		6625	`Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within`
		6626	`GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.`
		6627
		6628	`* JATS utility: gen_cots`
		6629	`Ensure label is not locked`
		6630	`Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package`
		6631	`that already exists in dpkg_archive.`
		6632
		6633	`* JATS directive: PackageFile`
		6634	`Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process`
		6635	`to a specific type of build.`
		6636
		6637	`* JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests`
		6638	`Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information`
		6639	`to be extracted and passed to generator programs.`
		6640	`ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)`
		6641
		6642	`Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as`
		6643	`sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.`
		6644	`ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)`
		6645
		6646	`* JATS utility: release`
		6647	`Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have`
		6648	`been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.`
		6649
		6650	`* JATS utility: label`
		6651	`Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,`
		6652	`when it is being created.`
		6653
		6654	`Internal Changes`
		6655	`* JATS utility: create_dpkg`
		6656	`Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.`
		6657
		6658	`Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use`
		6659	`to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.`
		6660
		6661	`* Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive`
		6662	`This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting`
		6663	`different results.`
		6664
		6665	`* ToolsetRequire directive`
		6666	`This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within`
		6667	`packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory`
		6668
		6669	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6670	`Version: JATS_2.51.0 Released: 15-Mar-06`

		6679	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6680	`Major changes:`
		6681	`* WIN32 utilities`
		6682	`Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)`
		6683	`with versions from the GNUWin32 project.`
		6684
		6685	`The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories`
		6686	`under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the`
		6687	`same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).`
		6688
		6689	`Minor changes:`
		6690	`* BuildVersion`
		6691	`The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file`
		6692	`will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'`
		6693	`program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.`
		6694
		6695	`The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.`
		6696
		6697	`* Unix Builds`
		6698	`Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static`
		6699	`library or a shared library.`
		6700
		6701	`JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred`
		6702	`when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix`
		6703	`systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already`
		6704	`start with 'lib'.`
		6705
		6706	`* BuildPkgArchive`
		6707	`Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if`
		6708	`they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source`
		6709	`package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.`
		6710
		6711	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6712	`Version: JATS_2.49.0 Released: 10-Feb-06`
		6713	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6714	`Major changes:`
		6715	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6716	`Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target`
		6717	`THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get`
		6718	`regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was`
		6719	`being manually maintained.`
		6720
		6721
		6722	`Minor changes:`
		6723	`* MakeAnt directive`
		6724	`Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset`
		6725	`that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset`
		6726	`supports ANT builds.`
		6727
		6728	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6729	`Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where`
		6730	`there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.`
		6731
		6732	`* Label utility`
		6733	`Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified`
		6734	`files to be labeled.`

		6737	`Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly`
		6738	`on Solaris.`
		6739
		6740	`* Generated makefiles`
		6741	`Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to`
		6742	`nothing.`
		6743
		6744	`* MOS Toolset`
		6745	`Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.`
		6746	`This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised`
		6747	`modules.`
		6748
		6749	`* Utility: gen_cots`
		6750	`This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry`
		6751	`and then check it in under clearcase.`
		6752
		6753	`JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.`

227	dpurdie	6768
		6769	`* Utility: release (cbuild)`
		6770	`Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching`
		6771	`rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:`
		6772
		6773	`jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH`
		6774
		6775	`will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating`
		6776	`a patch for Sydney Legacy work.`
		6777
		6778	`* RunTest directive`
		6779	`The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have`
		6780	`been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to`
		6781	`test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.`
		6782
		6783	`* PackageFile, Option --DirTree`
		6784	`Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the`
		6785	`--DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be`
		6786	`packaged under JATS`
		6787
		6788	`Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not`
		6789	`supported within JATS.`
		6790
		6791	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6792	`Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the`
		6793	`sanitized environment provided by JATS.`
		6794
		6795	`The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's`
		6796	`PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the`
		6797	`JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.`
		6798
		6799	`Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2`
		6800	`Eg: jats ant`
		6801
		6802	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6803	`Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )`
		6804
5710	dpurdie	6805	`This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file`
227	dpurdie	6806	`called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called`
		6807	`<ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the`
		6808	`<ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the`
		6809	`<ProjectName>.xml file.`
		6810
5710	dpurdie	6811	`If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will`
227	dpurdie	6812	`expect a build.pl file.`
		6813
		6814	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6815	`Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.`
		6816
		6817	`* Jats utility: create_dpkg`
		6818	`Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within`
		6819	`the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.`
		6820
		6821	`* Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)`
		6822	`Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.`
		6823
		6824	`* Build files`
		6825	`Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with`
5710	dpurdie	6826	`VIX extensions.`

		6828	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6829	`Version: JATS_2.47.0 Released: 20-Dec-05`
		6830	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6831	`Major changes:`
		6832	`* BuildVersion directive in build.pl`
		6833	`Correct a problem in the generation of version.c`
		6834	`The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing`
		6835	`space when the 'array' mode was selected.`
		6836
		6837	`This may cause module validation to fail.`
		6838
		6839	`Minor changes:`
		6840	`* None`
		6841
		6842	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6843	`Version: JATS_2.46.0 Released: 08-Dec-05`
		6844	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6845	`Major changes:`
		6846	`* BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives`
		6847	`Added option --Uses=NAME`
		6848	`ie:`
		6849	`BuildProduct ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5', 'MOSCF' );`
		6850
		6851	`This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5`
		6852	`headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the`
		6853	`OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build`
		6854	`environments are compatible.`
		6855
		6856
		6857	`Minor changes:`
		6858	`* BuildName option`
		6859	`Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames`
5710	dpurdie	6860	`that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).`
227	dpurdie	6861
		6862	`* jats.bat`
		6863	`Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined`
		6864	`It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.`
		6865
		6866	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6867	`Version: JATS_2.45.0 Released: 29-Nov-05`
		6868	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6869	`Major changes:`
		6870	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6871	`The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified`
		6872	`so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly`
		6873	`speeds up multiple 'build' operations.`
		6874
		6875	`If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then`
		6876	`this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are`
		6877	`considered as under development and are subject to change.`
		6878
		6879	`If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be`
		6880	`installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to`
		6881	`be transferred into the 'interface' directory.`
		6882
		6883	`A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been`
		6884	`transferred.`
		6885
		6886	`* Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.`
		6887	`See notes below.`
		6888
		6889	`* WIN32 toolset`
		6890	`Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate`
		6891	`correctly.`
		6892
		6893	`Export the complete library search path into the build environment`
		6894	`for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.`
		6895
		6896	`* BuildVersion`
		6897	`Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#`
		6898	`The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for`
		6899	`other langauges as needed.`
		6900
		6901
		6902	`Minor changes:`
		6903	`* Utility: gen_winrc.pl`
		6904	`Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.`
		6905	`This information will be available to be placed into the generation`
		6906	`version strings.`
		6907
		6908	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		6909	`Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local`
		6910	`package or an imported package.`
		6911
		6912	`* Toolsets: MOS_MRI`
		6913	`Generate an error if required tools are not found.`
		6914	`Previously this condition would generate a warning.`
		6915
		6916	`* BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives`
		6917	`Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check`
		6918	`was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same`
		6919	`version to be included. This could result in badly formed`
		6920	`makefiles and strange error messages.`
		6921
		6922	`Internal Changes`
		6923	`* Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common`
		6924	`directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite`
		6925	`of utilities.`
		6926
		6927	`Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting`
		6928	`functions.`
		6929
		6930	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6931	`Version: JATS_2.44.0 Released: 18-Nov-05`
		6932	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6933	`Major changes:`
		6934	`* Generated makefiles`
		6935	`Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE`
		6936	`cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure`
		6937	`that sed did not process its arguments.`
		6938
		6939	`This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts`
		6940	`within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was`
		6941	`incorrectly processing:`
		6942	`sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'`
		6943	`The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was`
		6944	`then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally`
		6945	`confused.`
		6946
		6947	`NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a`
		6948	`breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).`
		6949	`The construct`
		6950	`-D__SOURCE__=\"name\"`
		6951	`was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,`
		6952	`then it works.`
		6953
		6954	`* MakeAnt directive`
		6955	`Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile`
		6956
		6957	`This option has the following effects`
		6958	`1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and`
		6959	`can be used installed and manipulated.`
		6960
		6961	`2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done`
		6962	`early - in the generated files phase.`
		6963
		6964	`Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java`
		6965	`component needs to generate a header file early.`
		6966
		6967
		6968	`Minor changes:`
		6969	`* JATS post-installation script`
		6970	`Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.`
		6971
		6972	`* Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix`
		6973	`systems. Thus .h and .H files will considered header files in`
		6974	`windows.`
		6975
		6976	`* Build.pl rewrite tool`
		6977	`Handle all variants of BuildName`
		6978
		6979	`* Jats wrapper script`
		6980	`Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable`
		6981	`1) Contain spaces`
		6982	`2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped`
		6983
		6984	`* Toolset`
		6985	`Added a 'LINUX' platform.`
		6986
		6987	`* JAVA toolset`
		6988	`Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following`
		6989	`directive:`
		6990
		6991	`includeAntRuntime="off"'`
		6992
		6993	`This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to`
		6994	`the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's`
		6995	`version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.`
		6996
		6997	`* GCC Toolset`
		6998	`Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian`
		6999
		7000	`* Makefile generation`
		7001	`When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS`
		7002	`has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.`
		7003	`Previously JATS would use the package name found within the`
		7004	`descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the`
		7005	`package could not be used.`
		7006
		7007	`* Unit Tests`
		7008	`The following environment variables are set:`
		7009
		7010	`GBE_TYPE - The type of build. Debug or production. This`
		7011	`will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'`
		7012
		7013	`GBE_HOST - The host machine we are running on.`
		7014	`This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'`
		7015
		7016	`These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.`
		7017
		7018	`* New makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		7019
		7020
		7021	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7022	`Version: JATS_2.43.0 Released: 01-Nov-05`
		7023	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7024	`Major changes:`
		7025	`* New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.`
		7026
		7027	`Special features of this toolset.`
		7028	`1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file`
		7029	`This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be`
		7030	`incorporated within the target image.`
		7031
		7032	`2) Prog directive extensions:`
		7033	`--Set=Name=Value`
		7034	`The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.`
		7035	`This allows the location of program segments to be set`
		7036
		7037	`--Ref=name`
		7038	`The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used`
		7039	`to provide information that will be placed within the`
		7040	`THX header. The version number will be ignored. It`
		7041	`will be taken from the build version number.`
		7042
		7043	`Minor changes:`
		7044	`* MOS Toolset`
		7045	`Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.`
		7046	`Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or`
		7047	`packaged.`
		7048
		7049	`* Src directive`
		7050	`No generates a warning if no source files are located within the`
		7051	`directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform`
		7052	`specifier.`
		7053
		7054	`* WIN32 runtime support`
		7055	`Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.`
		7056	`1) od - dump files in octal and other formats`
		7057	`2) cmp - compare two files byte by byte`
		7058
		7059	`Internal:`
		7060	`Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"`
		7061	`dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program`
		7062	`generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.`
		7063
		7064	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7065	`Version: JATS_2.42.0 Released: 19-Oct-05`

		7069	`Added options.`
		7070	`--Define - Does not create implicit platforms`
		7071	`--Target - Redeclares the alais as the list of all`
		7072	`platforms that are based on a given target or`
		7073	`targets.`
		7074	`Eg:`
		7075	`BuildAlias ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );`
		7076	`BuildProduct ( 'GAK', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );`
		7077	`BuildProduct ( 'PCP', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );`
		7078
		7079	`Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's`
		7080	`that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of`
		7081	`'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.`
		7082
		7083	`Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.`
		7084	`The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the`
		7085	`specification of all the LMOS targets.`
		7086
		7087
		7088	`Minor changes:`
		7089	`* Label utility`
		7090	`Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one`
		7091	`build.pl file`
		7092
		7093	`* Package directives. PackageFile.`
		7094	`Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn`

		7097	`--FilterIn option.`
		7098
		7099	`* jats release (cbuilder) utility`
		7100	`Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.`
		7101	`The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.`
		7102
		7103	`* Location of descpkg file`
		7104	`All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was`
		7105	`created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it`
		7106	`can be done within any makefile.pl.`

		7113	`Extended the options and operation of RunTest`
		7114	`Additional options`
		7115	`--CopyIn=file`
		7116	`This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before`
		7117	`the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This`
		7118	`allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into`
		7119	`the test area.`
		7120
		7121	`Additional operations`
		7122	`The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of`
		7123	`transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms`
		7124	`--File(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a known file`
		7125	`--Local(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a file that has been Installed`

		7153
		7154	`The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.`
		7155	`This may not be sutable for all packages.`
		7156
		7157	`Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be`
		7158	`set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:`

		7167
		7168	`* JATS environment`
		7169	`Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase`
		7170	`COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in`

		7248	`The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further`
		7249	`restricted by options within the build.`
		7250
		7251	`* PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl`
		7252	`The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a`
		7253	`problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the`
		7254	`list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the`
		7255	`list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.`
		7256
		7257	`Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these`
		7258	`directives.`
		7259
		7260	`* MakeProject directive`
		7261	`If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed`
		7262	`because 'make' stops when a command fails.`
		7263
		7264	`The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the`
		7265	`log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command`
		7266	`is preserved.`
		7267
		7268	`* Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl`
		7269	`Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'`
		7270	`statements.`
		7271
		7272	`* Mugfile generation`
		7273	`Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to`
		7274	`be placed in the target package.`
		7275

		7280	`Major changes:`
		7281	`* BuildVersion directive`
		7282	`The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build`
		7283	`number as well as a patch number.`
		7284
		7285	`The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build`
		7286	`number.`
		7287
		7288	`Minor changes:`
		7289	`* AddFlags directives`
		7290	`Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of`
		7291	`duplicate flags being added.`
		7292
		7293	`* GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)`
		7294	`Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS`
		7295	`loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.`
		7296
		7297	`* Mug File Generation`
		7298	`Added support to allow load files to include other load files.`
		7299
		7300	`* 'cbuild' or 'release' command`
		7301	`Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the`
		7302	`problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been`
		7303	`labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root`
		7304	`directory.`
		7305
		7306	`The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT`
		7307	`reproducible.`

		7336	`Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various`
		7337	`target platforms to be extracted.`
		7338
		7339	`Better support for Product families. This is only an issue`
		7340	`for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of`
		7341	`libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.`
		7342
		7343	`* Utility: release (cbuilder)`

		7361	`Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );`
		7362	`GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",`
		7363	`'--Prereq(infile)',`

		7369	`be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to`
5710	dpurdie	7370	`the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as`
227	dpurdie	7371	`-- Auto.`
		7372
		7373	`* Added a new make target: run_unit_tests`
		7374	`This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive`
		7375	`unit tests within an automated framework.`
		7376
		7377	`* Make run_test and run_unit_test operation`
		7378	`The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to`
		7379	`include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well`

		7381	`locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.`
		7382
		7383	`* WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6`
		7384	`The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer`
		7385	`imported from the users environment as the environment is`
		7386	`indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are`
		7387	`installed on the machine.`
		7388
		7389	`* WINCE Targets`
		7390	`The name of the SDK is case sensitive.`

		7403
		7404	`* Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the`
		7405	`generation of debug information so that the linker does not`

		7407
		7408	`* UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)`
		7409	`Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to`
		7410	`interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into`
		7411	`the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being`
		7412	`searched when looking for libraries.`
		7413
		7414	`Minor changes:`
		7415	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		7416	`New sub-options to filename generation commands`
		7417	`--abspath - provide the named file with an absolute path`
		7418	`--absdrive - provide the named file with an absolute path`
		7419	`and drive letter`
		7420
		7421	`* Src directive`
		7422	`Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root`
		7423	`directory of a package.`
		7424
		7425	`Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );`
		7426
		7427	`Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is`

		7454	`windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.`
		7455	`This should not affect current users.`

		7470	`Minor changes:`
		7471	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7472	`Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe`

		7475
		7476	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive`
		7477	`Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft`

		7505
		7506	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7507	`Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of`
		7508	`ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in`
		7509	`conjunction with the JAVA target`

		7546	`* Support for Windows DLLs`
		7547	`When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is`

		7596	`force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as`

		7600
		7601	`* WINCE and WIN32 Toolset`

		7620
		7621	`* MugFile generation`

		7627	`Multiple platforms should be specified as:`
		7628	`Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );`
		7629	`with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace`
		7630	`If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what`
		7631	`was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest`
		7632	`solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.`
		7633
		7634	`* GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl`
		7635	`Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for`

		7656	`other components.`

		7686	`production.`
		7687

		7711	`The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not`

		7828
		7829	`* Preliminary Support`
		7830	`Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are`

		7875
		7876	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if`

		8135	`* SOLARIS toolset`
		8136	`Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line`

		8183	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8184	`Version: JATS_2.10.0 Released: 11-Mar-05`
		8185	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8186	`Major changes:`
		8187	`* Extended BuildName to accept the form`
		8188	`BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );`
		8189
		8190	`* MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.`
		8191	`Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and`
		8192	`data addresses for the board.`
		8193
		8194	`BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );`
		8195
		8196	`Will set the code,data address for the debugable image`
		8197
		8198	`* Extended the PackageXxxxx options`
		8199	`1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy`
		8200	`Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the`
		8201	`"platform" name. Only useful within the context of the`
		8202	`PackageFile`
		8203
		8204	`2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile`
		8205	`directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the`
		8206	`platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a`
		8207	`suffix. In practice this is the logical use.`
		8208
		8209	`* Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been`
		8210	`discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files`
		8211	`to be installed and packaged.`
		8212
		8213	`Minor changes:`
		8214
		8215	`* cache_dpkg utility`
		8216	`If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache`
		8217	`entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.`
		8218
		8219	`* label utility`
		8220	`New option -auto to create and label`
		8221
		8222	`* Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files`
		8223	`This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names`
		8224
		8225	`* The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument`
		8226	`This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root`
		8227	`directory. ie:`
		8228
		8229	`BuildDirTree ( '', 'pkg' );`
		8230
		8231	`* Fixed DEVIM 00019520`
		8232	`The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to`
		8233	`the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.`
		8234
		8235
		8236	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8237	`Version: JATS_2.9.0 Released: 28-Feb-05`
		8238	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8239	`Major changes:`
		8240	`* First release for Back Office and Front Office use.`
		8241
		8242	`* Added the jats tool jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.`
		8243	`To be used by the nightly build process.`
		8244
		8245	`* Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.`
		8246	`The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the`
		8247	`compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete`
		8248	`the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.`
		8249
		8250	`The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's`
		8251	`interface directory and to remove all temp files before each`
		8252	`compilation.`
		8253
		8254	`This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.`
		8255
		8256	`Minor changes:`
		8257	`* The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if`
		8258	`one is being produced.`
		8259
		8260	`* Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"`
		8261	`option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better`
		8262	`job of cleaning the workspace.`
		8263
		8264	`* Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS`
		8265
		8266	`* Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive`
		8267
		8268	`* Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.`
		8269	`This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.`
		8270
		8271	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8272	`Version: JATS_2.8.0 Released: 17-Feb-05`
		8273	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8274	`Major changes:`
		8275	`* Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be`
		8276	`installed in order for the compilers to work.`
		8277
		8278	`* New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220`
		8279
		8280	`* All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile`
		8281	`This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the`
		8282	`same directory`
		8283
		8284	`* Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag`
		8285	`_DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the`
		8286	`documenattion.`
		8287
		8288	`Minor changes:`
		8289	`* Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings`
		8290	`Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match`
		8291
		8292	`* Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with`
		8293	`spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.`
		8294
		8295	`* Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.`
		8296	`Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB`
		8297
		8298	`* Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display`
		8299	`when the verbose option had not been selected`
		8300
		8301	`* Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files`
		8302	`would prevent the execution of the command. This command should`
		8303	`be exempt from this test.`
		8304
		8305	`* Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE`
		8306	`platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.`
		8307
		8308	`* The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build`
		8309	`clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.`
		8310
		8311	`Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be`
		8312	`removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"`
		8313	`does.`
		8314
		8315	`* The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will`
		8316	`not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.`
		8317
		8318
		8319	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8320	`Version: JATS_2.7.0 Released: 09-Feb-05`
		8321	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8322	`Major changes:`
		8323	`* First release with support for the DAFBR compiler`
		8324
		8325	`* Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:`
		8326	`--Interface - Pull lib from Interface directory`
		8327	`--Local - Pull lib from Local directory (default)`
		8328	`--SubDir=pathname - Pull lib from a subdirectory`
		8329	`Note: xxxx,pathname still works`
		8330
		8331	`* Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling`
		8332	`operations.`
		8333
		8334	`* Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.`
		8335
		8336	`* Added this manual ChangeLog file`
		8337
		8338	`Minor changes`
		8339	`* Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to`
		8340	`be run in a controlled environment from the command line.`
		8341
		8342	`* Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various`
		8343	`toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the`
		8344	`directory is not added to the library path.`
		8345
		8346	`Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will`
		8347	`not add the xxxx/lib to the path.`
		8348
		8349	`* cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.`
		8350	`The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search`
		8351	`first in an attempt to speed up the process.`
		8352
		8353	`* The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not`
		8354	`begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler`
		8355	`specific flags.`
		8356
		8357	`* The use of linker flags will issue a warning.`
		8358
		8359	`* Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been`
		8360	`determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions`
		8361	`such they are available to the common makefile.pl.`
		8362
		8363	`* Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify`
		8364	`a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of`
		8365	`JATS.`
		8366
		8367	`* Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that`
		8368	`caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.`
		8369
		8370	`* The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS`
		8371	`projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full`
		8372	`pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.`
		8373
		8374	`* The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to`
		8375	`the initial DLL or EXE.`
		8376
		8377	`* Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may`
		8378	`fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created`
		8379	`since the "generate" phase was not being run.`
		8380
		8381	`Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated`
		8382	`and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive`
		8383
		8384	`* JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.`
		8385
		8386	`* The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.`
		8387	`Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.`
		8388
		8389	`* Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if`
		8390	`the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's`
		8391	`objects.`
		8392
		8393	`* Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make`
		8394	`command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in`
		8395	`that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always`
		8396	`build defendants.`
