		2668	`The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.`
		2669	`May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been`
		2670	`masking an error.`

		3235
		3236	`* GCC Toolkit`
		3237	`Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline`
		3238	`with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some`

		3320
		3321	`* Solaris builds`
		3322	`Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before`

		3640	`* New Platform: DELPHI7`
		3641	`Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using`
		3642	`Borlands Delphi Version 7.`
		3643
		3644	`See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options`
		3645	`to the Prog and SharedLib directives.`
		3646
		3647	`This toolset has a number of limitations:`
		3648	`1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single`
		3649	`makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library`
		3650	`names cannot be changed.`
		3651
		3652	`2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated`
		3653	`artifacts is very simplistic.`
		3654
		3655	`Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the`
		3656	`name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.`
		3657	`ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );`
		3658	`Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'`
		3659
		3660	`Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk`
		3661	`file.`
		3662	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyPackage' );`
		3663	`will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file`

		3665
		3666	`Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr`
		3667	`file.`
		3668	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyDll' );`
		3669	`will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file`
		3670	`MyDll.dpr.`
		3671
		3672	`Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr`
		3673	`file.`
		3674	`ie: Prog ( '*', 'MyProg' );`
		3675	`will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file`
		3676	`MyProg.dpr.`
		3677
		3678	`Minor changes:`
		3679	`* New EnvVar: DELPHI7`
		3680	`Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the`

		3687
		3688	`Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.`
		3689	`If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files`

		3692
		3693	`* Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs`
		3694	`Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.`

		3696	`Internal Changes:`
		3697	`* ToolsetSHLD functions`
		3698	`Pass in the shared library version string as an argument`
		3699	`Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner`
		3700	`that is decoupled from the toolsets.`
		3701
		3702	`* Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries`
		3703	`merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets`
		3704	`and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.`

		3719	`Manager`
287	dpurdie	3720
		3721	`Minor changes:`
		3722	`* The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the`
		3723	`environment. This only affects the build daemons.`
		3724
		3725	`* updatenodespec utility`

277	dpurdie	3783
279	dpurdie	3784	`JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built`
		3785	`on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a`
		3786	`Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need`
281	dpurdie	3787	`not contain '!SOLARIS'`
279	dpurdie	3788
		3789	`This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not`

		3802	`Removed the '-delete' option`
		3803	`Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.`
		3804
277	dpurdie	3805	`Minor changes:`
279	dpurdie	3806	`* Sandbox command`
		3807	`Added build, make, clean, clobber commands`
		3808
		3809	`Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the`
		3810	`target from consideration in the build set.`
		3811
		3812	`* MCR Toolset`
		3813	`This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error`

		3835	`it contains 'jar' files.`
		3836
		3837	`Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT`
		3838
		3839	`Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow`
		3840	`environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'`

		4495
		4496	`Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the`

		4740	`Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its`

		4774	`* Jats Tool: CCbc2`
		4775	`Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two`

		4778	`process.`
		4779
		4780	`Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.`

		4836	`Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset`
		4837	`This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been`

		4841	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		4842	`If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make`

		4976	`Version: 2.71.1.cr Released: 16-Oct-07`
		4977	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4978	`Major changes:`
		4979
		4980	`Minor changes:`
		4981	`PackageLib directive`
		4982	`The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.`
		4983	`Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.`
		4984	`Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.`
		4985
		4986	`MakefileGenerate directive`
		4987	`This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,`
		4988	`and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.`
		4989
		4990	`Multiple Parent detection`
		4991	`A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the`
		4992	`build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is`
		4993	`normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this`
		4994	`condition will be treated as a warning.`
		4995
		4996	`Solaris Toolset`
		4997	`Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.`
		4998	`When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will`
		4999	`cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the`
		5000	`link.`
		5001
		5002	`Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the`
		5003	`misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an`
		5004	`indication that this is a bad thing to do.`
		5005
		5006	`Make and generation of subdirectories`
		5007	`Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.`
		5008	`This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency`

		5010
		5011	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5012	`Version: 2.71.0.cr Released: 10-Oct-07`
		5013	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5014	`Major changes:`
		5015	`Makefile generation and make recursion`
		5016	`Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by`
		5017	`which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.`
		5018
		5019	`Summary of changes:`
		5020	`- Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories`
		5021	`and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program that performs`
		5022	`the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for`
		5023	`flexibility.`
		5024
		5025	`The user interface remains identical: jats make ....`
		5026
		5027	`- Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text`
		5028	`file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the`
		5029	`interface directory and associated build information.`
		5030
		5031	`- Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.`
		5032	`On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less`
		5033	`than one second.`
		5034
		5035	`- Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent`
		5036	`building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for`
		5037	`each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every`
		5038	`makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity`
		5039	`testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the`
		5040	`toolset. It is an expensive operation.`
		5041
		5042	`- Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism`
		5043	`for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,`
		5044	`rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.`
		5045
		5046	`- Better makefile rebuilding`
		5047	`Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to`
		5048	`detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-`
		5049	`building them.`
		5050
		5051	`- Detection of build file changes`
		5052	`The make process will detect that the build file has been modified`
		5053	`and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It`
		5054	`does not prevent the 'make' operation.`
		5055
		5056	`- Quieter make output`
		5057	`The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.`
		5058
		5059
		5060	`Minor changes:`
		5061	`MakeAnt Directive`
		5062	`Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5`
		5063
		5064	`JATS command "debug" and "prod"`
		5065	`These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:`
		5066	`jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args`
		5067	`Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution`
		5068	`display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.`
		5069
		5070	`CSHARP toolset`
		5071	`Correctly detect missing compiler directories`

		5163	`Major changes:`
		5164
		5165	`Minor changes:`
		5166	`* Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path`
		5167	`Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.`
		5168
		5169	`Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new`
		5170	`AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched`
		5171	`last.`
		5172
		5173	`For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:`

		5199
		5200	`Minor changes:`

		5204
		5205	`* RunTest operation`

		5211	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5212	`Version: JATS_2.68.0 Released: 20-Aug-07`
		5213	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5214	`Major changes:`
		5215	`* Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)`
		5216
		5217	`It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and`
		5218	`javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was`
		5219	`normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages`
		5220	`were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search`
		5221	`path.`
		5222
		5223	`JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt`
		5224	`directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and`
		5225	`reproducible.`
		5226
		5227	`This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.`
		5228	`This is better than building incorrectly.`
		5229
		5230	`There are several aspects to the change`
		5231	`1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If`
		5232	`the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the`
		5233	`PATH then these will be used and report an error.`
		5234
		5235	`2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build`
		5236	`Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.`
		5237	`Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is`
		5238	`controlled separately.`
		5239
		5240	`Minor changes:`
		5241	`* Sanitize the PATH environment variable`
		5242	`Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched`
		5243	`Remove duplicates`
		5244	`Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH`
		5245
		5246	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5247	`Version: JATS_2.67.1 Released: 17-Aug-07`
		5248	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5249	`Major changes:`
		5250
		5251	`Minor changes:`
		5252	`* Makefile sanity test`
		5253	`Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are`
		5254	`not then run on a machine of a different type.`
		5255
		5256	`This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-`
		5257	`x86 machine.`
		5258
		5259	`* Correct bug in RunTest`
		5260	`RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory`
		5261
		5262	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5263	`Version: JATS_2.67.0 Released: 13-Aug-07`
		5264	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5265	`Major changes:`
		5266	`* RunTest directive`
		5267	`Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the`
		5268	`CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing`
		5269	`toolset specific test frameworks has been added.`
		5270
		5271	`Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.`
		5272	`The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option`
		5273	`--FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program`
		5274	`under test will be passed to the framework. program.`
		5275
		5276	`If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework`
		5277	`builder within the current toolset.`
		5278
		5279	`When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:`
		5280	`'--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.`
		5281
		5282	`With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit`
		5283	`will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile`
		5284	`containing the RunTest directive.`
		5285
		5286	`The Nunit Framework supports the following options:`
		5287	`--Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+`
		5288
		5289	`This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will`
		5290	`be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external`
		5291	`package or the components 'local' lib directory.`
		5292
		5293	`SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:`
		5294	`--NonJats This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a`
		5295	`P or D suffix.`
		5296	`--Jats (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will`
		5297	`select the correct library type for this build.`
		5298
		5299	`Minor changes:`
		5300	`* New Cache cleanup mechanism`
		5301	`When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within`
		5302	`the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to`
		5303	`the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are`
		5304	`frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.`
		5305
		5306	`* Save Build Utility`
		5307	`This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file`
		5308	`used in a ripple build.`
		5309
		5310	`The utility has been enhanced to detect a reserved checkout of the`
		5311	`build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.`
		5312
		5313	`* Release Utility`
		5314	`The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked`
		5315	`when an error is encountered.`
		5316
		5317	`This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be`
		5318	`unlocked if a build error occurs.`
		5319
		5320	`* Jats caching local copy of itself`
		5321	`Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message`
		5322	`being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.`
		5323
		5324	`* Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step`
		5325	`before the makefiles are created.`
		5326
		5327	`* TestProg directive`
		5328	`TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs`
		5329
		5330	`* Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with`
		5331	`a 'space' or '$' in the file name.`
		5332

		5339	`LMOS_LINUX_ETX - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target`
		5340
		5341	`These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.`
		5342	`DEVLINUX`
		5343	`LMOS_DEVLINUX`
		5344
		5345	`* Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]`
		5346	`Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file`
		5347	`transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.`
		5348
		5349	`Minor changes:`
		5350	`* Added utility class to provide directory searching`
		5351	`To be used in JATS and JATS support tools`
		5352
		5353	`* tweaks to the C# toolset`
		5354	`Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs`
		5355
		5356	`Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx`
		5357	`and .cs files.`
		5358
		5359	`Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right`
		5360	`thing.`
		5361
		5362	`* Microtec ColdFire compiler`
		5363	`Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a`
		5364	`local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control`
		5365	`were it places temp files.`
		5366
		5367	`Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected`
		5368	`interaction with other builds.`
		5369
		5370	`* Release utility command`
		5371	`Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create`
		5372	`multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique`
		5373	`component in the clearcase tag name.`

		5422
		5423	`Minor changes:`
		5424	`* WINCE Support`
		5425	`Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.`
		5426
		5427	`* Removed the following targets`
		5428	`TP5600`
		5429	`TP5600_ARM9TDMI`
		5430	`TP5600_EMU`
		5431	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI`

		5434	`* Deployment`
		5435	`Simplify access to build information during deployment`
		5436
		5437	`* build.pl`
		5438	`Better error check on a packages version number.`
		5439
		5440	`The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather`
		5441	`than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.`
		5442
		5443	`* Tool: gen_msprojects`
		5444	`Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production`
		5445	`build.`
		5446
		5447	`Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod`

		5459	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5460	`Version: JATS_2.65.1 Released: 30-May-07`
		5461	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5462	`Major changes:`
		5463	`* Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended`
		5464	`through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce`
		5465	`the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.`
		5466
		5467	`* GenerateFiles`
		5468	`Added the options:`
		5469	`--UnknownPreq - Will force the recipe to be run every time`
		5470	`the generated files are required. May be used`
		5471	`when the dependancies are too complex to`
		5472	`describe. ie: Entire directory tree.`
		5473
		5474	`--AutoGenerate - Will not force the recipe to be run during the`
		5475	`'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates`
		5476	`source files. Allows recipes to be run very`
		5477	`late. ie: when the dependent files are actually`
		5478	`required.`
		5479
		5480
		5481	`Minor changes:`
		5482	`* GenerateFile directive`
		5483	`Added --Var(BuildRoot)`
		5484
		5485	`* GCC Toolset`
		5486	`Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent`
		5487	`on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to`
		5488	`be rebuilt.`
		5489
		5490	`* MakeAnt and MakeProject directives`
		5491	`Preserve the order in which projects are built.`
		5492

		5494	`Version: JATS_2.65.0 Released: 16-May-07`
		5495	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5496	`Major changes:`
		5497	`* Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases`
		5498	`The database location, user and password have been made configurable via`
		5499	`environment variables.`
		5500
		5501	`Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being`
		5502	`moved.`
		5503
		5504	`This will affect users that:`
		5505	`1) Use tools that access RM or DM`
		5506	`Some tools that build deployable packages`
		5507
		5508	`2) Use the ABT system`
		5509	`The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide`
		5510	`the required configuration`
		5511
		5512	`If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on`
		5513	`the build machine then you will need to add the following environment`
		5514	`definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.`
		5515	`Windows`

		5538
		5539	`Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms`
		5540	`of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future`
		5541	`release.`
		5542
		5543	`The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to`
		5544	`LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU`
		5545
		5546	`The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages`
		5547	`need to be converted.`
		5548
		5549	`* Building Linux Device Drivers`
		5550	`The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.`
		5551	`Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide`
		5552	`the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be`
		5553	`used for different targets platforms.`

		5568	`* MakeAnt directive`
		5569	`Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.`
		5570
		5571	`New options`
		5572	`--AutoTest=<target> # Run as Automated unit test`
		5573	`--UnitTest=<target> # Run as Unit test`
		5574
		5575	`This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the`

		5577
		5578	`* Sandbox support`
		5579	`Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox`

		5581
		5582	`Minor changes:`
		5583	`* jats build`
		5584	`Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of`
		5585	`platforms that will be 'built'.`
		5586
		5587	`This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		5588
		5589	`This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is`

		5597	`Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that`
		5598	`the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both`

		5600
		5601	`* jats label`
		5602	`Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB`

		5611	`LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5612
		5613	`LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600`
		5614	`supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to`
		5615	`describe the group of platforms.`
		5616
		5617	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5618	`These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to`
		5619	`build these targets.`
		5620
		5621	`The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,`
		5622	`where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.`
		5623
		5624	`The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,`
		5625	`where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.`
		5626
		5627	`* New build platform: WINCE`
		5628	`This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.`
		5629	`Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for`
		5630	`consumption on all WINCE machines.`
		5631
		5632	`The current list of WINCE targets is:`
		5633	`WCEIT3000`

		5642	`WCEX86A500_SOM4455`
		5643
		5644	`The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.`
		5645
		5646	`* JATS makefile.pl`
		5647	`The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles`
		5648	`that contain packaging directives.`
		5649
		5650	`There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in`
		5651	`very unusual configurations.`
		5652
		5653	`Minor changes:`
		5654	`* Directive: PackageFile`
		5655	`Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming`
		5656	`conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain`
		5657	`an '='.`
		5658
		5659	`Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead`
		5660	`of "--Subdir=etc".`
		5661
		5662	`* JATS Internal utility: cmdfile`
		5663	`Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that`
		5664	`provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.`
		5665
		5666	`This version will display the library search path with one item per line,`
		5667	`rather than all items on one, very long, line.`
		5668
		5669	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5670	`Version: JATS_2.63.0 Released: 5-Apr-07`
		5671	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5672	`Major changes:`
		5673
		5674	`* JATS release command`
		5675	`Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is`
		5676	`specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.`
		5677
		5678	`Rules are:`
		5679	`Modify a file: File will branch`
		5680	`Adding a file: Containing directory will not branch`
		5681	`File will be placed on a branch`
		5682	`Add a directory: Containing directory will not branch`
		5683	`New directory will branch`
		5684
		5685	`Minor changes:`
		5686	`* JATS release command`
		5687	`Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the`
		5688	`user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.`
		5689
		5690	`* JATS label command`
		5691	`Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label`
		5692	`is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.`
		5693
		5694	`* JATS make`
		5695	`Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and`
		5696	`Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package`
		5697	`was re-packaged.`
		5698
		5699	`* JATS escrow`
		5700	`Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.`
		5701	`Use jats escrow -help for details`
		5702
		5703	`* makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt`
		5704	`This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java`
		5705	`packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.`
		5706
		5707	`This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in`
		5708	`packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the`
		5709	`interface directory.`
		5710
		5711	`* build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive`
		5712	`Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.`
		5713	`Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'`
		5714	`directory as seen by the package.`
		5715
		5716	`Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10`
		5717
		5718	`* JAVA 6`
		5719	`JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y`
		5720	`environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.`
		5721
		5722	`The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5`
		5723	`and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.`
		5724
		5725	`The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables`
		5726
		5727	`* Jats command: vars`
		5728	`Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory`
		5729	`These indicate potential problems.`
		5730
		5731	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5732	`Version: JATS_2.62.4 Released: 20-Mar-07`
		5733	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5734	`Major changes:`
		5735	`* JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)`
		5736	`When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned`
		5737	`libarry is also created.`
		5738
		5739	`Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical`
		5740	`copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is`
		5741	`'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two`
		5742	`files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)`
		5743	`The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug`
		5744	`information contained within the file.`
		5745
		5746	`This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',`
		5747	`'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.`
		5748
		5749	`The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used`
		5750	`within the build environment and dpkg_archive.`
		5751
		5752	`* Building Perl Modules`
		5753	`Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the`
		5754	`documentation on the build machine.`
		5755
		5756	`Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.`
		5757
		5758	`Minor changes:`
		5759	`* jats create_dpkg`
		5760	`Added an option to create a built.generic file`
		5761	`This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.`
		5762
		5763	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5764	`Version: JATS_2.62.3 Released: 28-Feb-07`
		5765	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5766	`Major changes:`
		5767	`* JATS JAVA build target`
		5768	`The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the`
		5769	`default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.`
		5770
		5771	`Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar`
		5772	`JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.`
		5773	`Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this`
		5774	`is then picked up as the default version.`
		5775
		5776	`If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the`
		5777	`build.pl file.`
		5778
		5779	`Minor changes:`
		5780	`* jats release`
		5781	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH`
		5782	`Issue an error if it cannot be found.`
		5783	`This error indicates bad DevEnv setup`
		5784
		5785	`Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.`
		5786	`Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify`
		5787	`the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,`
		5788	`based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change`
		5789	`the name of the view.`
		5790
		5791	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5792	`Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.`
		5793
		5794	`* MOS Toolset`
		5795	`When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly`
		5796	`used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set`
		5797	`up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization`
		5798
		5799	`Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );`

		5805	`Major changes:`
		5806
		5807	`Minor changes:`
		5808	`* JATS environment`
		5809	`Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH`
		5810	`environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities`
		5811	`that are located in the Perl bin directory.`
		5812
		5813	`Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html`
		5814
		5815	`* Use of GENERIC platforms`
		5816	`Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform`
		5817	`specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because`
		5818	`they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need`
		5819	`to be packaged.`
		5820
		5821	`* Generated makefiles`
		5822	`Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.`
		5823
		5824	`* Generating MOS THX files`
		5825	`Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX`
		5826	`files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.`
		5827	`This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.`
		5828
		5829	`SharedLib ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );`
		5830
		5831	`* JATS release`
		5832	`Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix`
		5833
		5834	`* JATS extract`
		5835	`New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'`
		5836
		5837	`* JATS Toolset`
		5838	`Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)`
		5839	`This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK`

		5844	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5845	`Major changes:`
		5846
		5847	`Minor changes:`
		5848	`* jats label`
		5849	`Added a -vob=name option`
		5850	`This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete`
		5851	`labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option`
		5852	`cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.`
		5853	`It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.`
		5854
		5855	`Added a -user=name option`
		5856	`This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the`
		5857	`label to the named user.`
		5858
		5859	`* jats release`
		5860	`Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner`
		5861	`Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.`
		5862
		5863	`* JATS build.pl`
		5864	`BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.`
		5865	`ie:`
		5866	`BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');`

		5870	`Version: JATS_2.62.0 Released: 22-Dec-06`
		5871	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5872	`Major changes:`
		5873	`* GenerateFiles and RunTest directives`
		5874	`These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile`
		5875	`values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of`
		5876	`the makefile internals. ie:`
		5877	`--Var(BuildName)`
		5878	`will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)`
		5879	`-BuildName=MyPackage`
		5880
		5881	`The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.`
		5882
		5883	`* GenerateFiles`
		5884	`Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase`
		5885	`This allows external scripts to cleanup.`
		5886
		5887	`* BuildPlatforms`
		5888	`Restored operation of the --Uses option`
		5889
		5890	`Minor changes:`
		5891	`* GCC Toolset`
		5892	`Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages`
		5893
		5894	`Internal changes:`
		5895	`* GenerateFiles`
		5896	`Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.`
		5897
		5898	`--Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an`
		5899	`external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.`

		5901
		5902	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5903	`Version: JATS_2.61.3 Released: 14-Dec-06`
		5904	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5905	`Major changes:`
		5906	`* Caching JATS`
		5907	`Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local`
		5908	`drive. This is applicable to windows.`
		5909
		5910	`This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in`
		5911	`dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of`
		5912	`then using JATS across a slow(network) link.`
		5913
		5914	`The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.`
		5915	`Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be`
		5916	`effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.`
		5917
		5918	`Use: Build Machines and Windows Users`
		5919
		5920	`Minor changes:`
		5921	`* Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option`
		5922	`Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:`
		5923	`TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.`
		5924
		5925	`* jats build`
		5926	`If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache`
		5927	`packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package`
		5928	`processed by the build.`
		5929
		5930	`* jats build`
		5931	`Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the`
		5932	`makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating`
		5933	`makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error`
		5934	`message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users`
		5935	`from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.`
		5936
		5937	`* PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr`
		5938	`Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the`
		5939	`Path is not specified.`
		5940
		5941	`Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in`
		5942	`conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a`
		5943	`package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified`
		5944	`--Dir=$Pinc`
		5945	`but $Pinc is not defined.`
		5946
		5947	`* Purify and Purecov under Windows`
		5948	`Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the`
		5949	`Windows platform.`
		5950
		5951	`- OPTIONS=purecov`
		5952	`Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required`
		5953	`by 'purecov.`
		5954
		5955	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		5956	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows`
		5957
		5958	`- OPTIONS=purify`
		5959	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		5960	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.`
		5961	`Under WIndows this option does nothing.`

		5967	`Major changes:`
		5968	`* makefile.pl directive Platform`
		5969	`This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation`
		5970	`Example:`
		5971	`Platform ('!MOSCF');`
		5972	`Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF`
		5973	`This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');`
		5974
		5975	`Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have`
		5976	`been determined.`
		5977
		5978	`Minor changes:`
		5979	`* Added the ScanList directive.`
		5980	`This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be`
		5981	`located at build-time.`
		5982
		5983	`* Unix based systems`
		5984	`If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be`
		5985	`generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.`
		5986
		5987	`* MakeLinuxDriver`
		5988	`Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the`
		5989	`driver being built.`

		6019	`Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.`
		6020
		6021	`GenerateFiles.`
		6022	`Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does`
		6023	`not generate any tangible results. The command will`
		6024	`be run on every invocation.`

		6033	`There are two mechanism:`
		6034
		6035	`Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl`
		6036	`the option can apply to all programs being built.`
		6037
		6038	`CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' ); - Generate static programs`
		6039	`CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' ); - Default`

		6049	`Major changes:`
		6050	`* SunWorks Toolset`
		6051	`Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library`
		6052	`Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries`

		6071	`Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset`
		6072	Removed the use of `uname`.
		6073
		6074	`* Added platforms`

		6239
		6240	`Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on`
		6241	`SOLARIS`
		6242	`WIN32`
		6243
		6244	`* Removal of support for badly formed packages`
		6245	`As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory`
		6246	`will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect`
		6247	`directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose`
		6248	`of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,`
		6249	`solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).`
		6250
		6251	`* Build Platform target name expansion facility`
		6252	`The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They`

		6263	`location`
		6264
		6265	`Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for`

		6267
		6268	`* Utility genrc`
		6269	`Added the company name to the copyright string`
		6270
		6271	`* Utility: jats_save_build`
		6272	`Added option: -new`
		6273	`This option forces the saved file only a new branch.`
		6274	`The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific`
		6275	`branch. Useful when branching an entire release.`
		6276
		6277	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6278	`Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.`
		6279	`Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.`
		6280
		6281	`* Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir`
		6282	`These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for`
		6283	`migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.`
		6284
		6285	`The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl`
		6286	`features - in a uniform manner.`
		6287
		6288
		6289	`Internal Changes:`
		6290	`* Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts`
		6291	`directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.`
		6292
		6293	`Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:`
		6294	`1) Platform information available at build time`
		6295	`2) Dynamic platform names`
		6296
		6297	`* Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform`
		6298	`The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the`
		6299	`machine on which the platform is invoked.`
		6300
		6301	`Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into`
		6302	`configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the`
		6303	`SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.`
		6304
		6305	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6306	`Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32`
		6307	`platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer`
		6308	`needed.`
		6309
		6310	`A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be`
		6311	`located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change`
		6312	`should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle`
		6313	`files from all of these.`

		6316	`Version: JATS_2.55.1 Released: 17-Aug-06`
		6317	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6318	`Major changes:`
		6319
		6320	`Minor changes:`
		6321	`* WinCE toolset`
		6322	`Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan`
		6323
		6324	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6325	`Version: JATS_2.55.0 Released: 3-Aug-06`
		6326	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6327	`Major changes:`
		6328	`* Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used`
		6329	`Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of`
		6330	`JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.`
		6331
		6332	`The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.`
		6333
		6334	`JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up`
		6335	`the operations.`
		6336
		6337	`The version option MUST be the first option.`
		6338
		6339	`The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.`
		6340	`This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.`
		6341
		6342	`Example: jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build`
		6343
		6344	`* Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script`
		6345	`and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.`
		6346
		6347	`* Utility: create_dpkg`
		6348	`Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts`
		6349	`Extended the built-in help`
		6350	`Added useful error messages`
		6351	`Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism`
		6352
		6353	`* WinCE toolset`
		6354	`Added support for the WCEPA962 target.`
		6355
		6356	`* M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware`
		6357	`Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files`
		6358	`are used in the creation of bootstraps.`
		6359
		6360	`Minor changes:`
		6361	`* JATS wrapper script`
		6362	`Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from`
		6363	`the command line.`
		6364
		6365	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6366	`Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the`
		6367	`ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.`
		6368
		6369	`Internal Changes:`
		6370	`* Common Error Reporting`
		6371	`Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels`
		6372	`for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars`
		6373	`of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE`
		6374	`level.`
		6375
		6376	`Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is`
		6377	`displayed.`
		6378
		6379	`Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.`
		6380
		6381	`* Added JatsSystem module`
		6382	`Common code for accessing system commands`
		6383	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6384	`Version: JATS_2.54.3 Released: 17-Jul-06`
		6385	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6386	`Major changes:`
		6387
		6388	`Minor changes:`
		6389	`* BR Compiler toolset`
		6390	`Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows`
		6391	`.def files to include other files.`
		6392
		6393	`* IAR toolset`
		6394	`Added AT7272 support`
		6395
		6396	`* Tool: jats_manifest`
		6397	`Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms`
		6398
		6399	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6400	`Version: JATS_2.54.2 Released: 12-Jul-06`
		6401	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6402	`Major changes:`
		6403
		6404	`Minor changes:`
		6405	`* BR Compiler toolset`
		6406	`Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in`
		6407	`use.`
		6408
		6409
		6410	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6411	`Version: JATS_2.54.1 Released: 29-Jun-06`
		6412	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6413	`Major changes:`
		6414
		6415	`Minor changes:`
		6416	`* Mictotec toolset`
		6417	`Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production`
		6418	`builds.`
		6419
		6420	`* JATS Core`
		6421	`Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an`
		6422	`auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their`
		6423	`behaviour.`
		6424
		6425	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6426	`Version: JATS_2.54.0 Released: 22-Jun-06`
		6427	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6428	`Major changes:`
		6429	`* Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.`
		6430	`Deployment package will be affected.`
		6431
		6432	`The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment`
		6433	`support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:`
		6434
		6435	`BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );`
		6436
		6437	`This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided`
		6438	`by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start`
		6439	`of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield`
		6440	`packages.`
		6441
		6442	`* Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS`
		6443	`The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex`
		6444	`and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.`
		6445
		6446	`This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'`
		6447	`the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'`
		6448
		6449	`Minor changes:`
		6450	`* SubDir directive`
		6451	`Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies`
		6452	`a directory from two different makefiles.`
		6453
		6454	`* Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend`
		6455	`If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated`
		6456	`dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence`
		6457	`of the file usage.`
		6458
		6459	`* New utility: jats_manifest`
		6460	`Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.`
		6461	`Beta Release: Windows only at the moment`
		6462
		6463	`* Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc`
		6464	`The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries`
		6465	`generated within the build and have been installed locally.`
		6466
		6467	`* Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script`
		6468	`This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.`
		6469	`In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and`
		6470	`will execute a JATS extended command.`
		6471
		6472
		6473	`Internal Changes:`
		6474	`* Code refactor`
		6475	`Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.`
		6476
		6477	`* Deployment utilities`
		6478	`The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file`
		6479	`Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.`
		6480	`The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and`
		6481	`the module can locate the file.`
		6482
		6483	`Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate`
		6484	`the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.`
		6485
		6486	`* JATS core`
		6487	`Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.`
		6488
		6489	`Better parsing of descpkg files.`
		6490
		6491	`* JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm`
		6492	`Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs`
		6493	`through the use of environment variables.`
		6494
		6495	`A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment`
		6496	`variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.`
		6497
		6498	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6499	`Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:`
		6500	`deployfiles - as used by the deployment system`
		6501	`tools/scripts - as used by perl based extensions`
		6502
		6503	`* Make environment`
		6504	`Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to`
		6505	`include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.`
		6506
		6507
		6508	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6509	`Version: JATS_2.53.2 Released: 13-Jun-06`
		6510	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6511	`Major changes:`
		6512	`* Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)`
		6513	`Added support for SILENT_MODE`
		6514
		6515
		6516	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6517	`Version: JATS_2.53.1 Released: Not release`
		6518	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6519
		6520	`Not Released.`
		6521	`This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis`
		6522	`for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.`
		6523
		6524
		6525	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6526	`Version: JATS_2.53.0 Released: 11-Apr-06`
		6527	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6528	`Major changes:`
		6529	`* Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access`
		6530	`The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been`
		6531	`radically replaced.`
		6532
		6533	`A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.`
		6534	`Usage:`
		6535	`jats etool test_rmconnection`
		6536
		6537	`The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle`
		6538	`Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with`
		6539	`this solution:`
		6540	`- Required the installation of two Perl Modules`
		6541	`- Required the installation of an Oracle client`
		6542	`- Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris`
		6543	`- Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline`
		6544
		6545	`The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin`
		6546	`client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in`
		6547	`order to work.`
		6548
		6549	`JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but`
		6550	`reduced functionality.`
		6551
		6552
		6553	`Minor changes:`
		6554	`* makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		6555	`Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.`
		6556	`This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.`
		6557
		6558	`* makefile.pl directive: SetList`
		6559	`Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists`
		6560	`within the makefiles.`
		6561	`Options:`
		6562	`--NoWarn Disable name clash warnings`
		6563	`--Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+ Add to list in selected projects`
		6564	`--Unique Add only if not already present`
		6565	`--Clear Clear list, before adding new items`
		6566	`--Append Append items to list (default)`
		6567	`-- Disable/Enable option parsing`
		6568	`Useage:`
		6569
		6570	`SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');`
		6571	`SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );`
		6572
		6573	`* Makefile.pl directive: RunTest`
		6574	`Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file`
		6575	`is not in the current directory.`
		6576
		6577	`* Jats Command: ant'`
		6578	`This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option`
		6579	`to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.`
		6580
		6581	`eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant`
		6582
		6583	`* TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support`
		6584	`Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next`
		6585	`generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version`
		6586	`of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr`
		6587
		6588	`* Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh`
		6589	`Added provision to process user command arguments.`
		6590	`Thus`
		6591
		6592	`set_WIN32.bat prog`
		6593
		6594	`will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog`
		6595
		6596
		6597	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6598	`Version: JATS_2.52.2 Released: 30-Mar-06`
		6599	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6600	`Major changes:`
		6601
		6602	`Minor changes:`
		6603	`* Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.`
		6604	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be`
		6605	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project`
		6606	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6607	`$(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always`
		6608
		6609	`* m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware`
		6610	`Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are`
		6611	`created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.`
		6612
		6613	`Internal changes:`
		6614	`* JATS toolsets`
		6615	`Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created`
		6616	`as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a`
		6617	`number of files, some which may be packaged.`
		6618
		6619	`Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now`
		6620	`they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.`
		6621
		6622	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6623	`Version: JATS_2.52.1 Released: 29-Mar-06`
		6624	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6625	`Major changes:`
		6626	`* Jats command: etool`
		6627	`Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment`
		6628	`tools to use the JATS core perl modules.`
		6629
		6630	`* Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer`
		6631	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be`
		6632	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt`
		6633	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6634	`$(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always`
		6635	`$ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always`
		6636
		6637	`Minor changes:`
		6638
		6639
		6640	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6641	`Version: JATS_2.52.0 Released: 27-Mar-06`
		6642	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6643	`Major changes:`
		6644	`* JATS environment variables`
		6645	`Added GBE_DPKG_STORE`
		6646	`Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow`
		6647	`read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be`
		6648	`searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,`
		6649	`will not publish packages in this repository.`
		6650
		6651	`Uses: Seed repository for a complete build`
		6652	`Remote repository`
		6653
		6654	`Added GBE_DPLY`
		6655	`Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the`
		6656	`placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.`
		6657
		6658	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6659	`Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.`
		6660	`Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This`
		6661	`created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by`
		6662	`the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.`
		6663
		6664	`The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be`
		6665	`processed once and it will be processed last.`
		6666
		6667
		6668	`Minor changes:`
		6669	`* JATS utility: build`
		6670	`* JATS utility: cache_dpkg`
		6671	`Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within`
		6672	`GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.`
		6673
		6674	`* JATS utility: gen_cots`
		6675	`Ensure label is not locked`
		6676	`Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package`
		6677	`that already exists in dpkg_archive.`
		6678
		6679	`* JATS directive: PackageFile`
		6680	`Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process`
		6681	`to a specific type of build.`
		6682
		6683	`* JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests`
		6684	`Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information`
		6685	`to be extracted and passed to generator programs.`
		6686	`ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)`
		6687
		6688	`Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as`
		6689	`sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.`
		6690	`ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)`
		6691
		6692	`* JATS utility: release`
		6693	`Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have`
		6694	`been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.`
		6695
		6696	`* JATS utility: label`
		6697	`Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,`
		6698	`when it is being created.`
		6699
		6700	`Internal Changes`
		6701	`* JATS utility: create_dpkg`
		6702	`Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.`
		6703
		6704	`Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use`
		6705	`to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.`
		6706
		6707	`* Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive`
		6708	`This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting`
		6709	`different results.`
		6710
		6711	`* ToolsetRequire directive`
		6712	`This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within`
		6713	`packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory`
		6714
		6715	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6716	`Version: JATS_2.51.0 Released: 15-Mar-06`
		6717	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6718	`Major changes:`
		6719
		6720	`* MCR toolset`
		6721	`Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files`
		6722
		6723	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6724	`Version: JATS_2.50.0 Released: 15-Feb-06`
		6725	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6726	`Major changes:`
		6727	`* WIN32 utilities`
		6728	`Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)`
		6729	`with versions from the GNUWin32 project.`
		6730
		6731	`The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories`
		6732	`under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the`
		6733	`same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).`
		6734
		6735	`Minor changes:`
		6736	`* BuildVersion`
		6737	`The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file`
		6738	`will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'`
		6739	`program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.`
		6740
		6741	`The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.`
		6742
		6743	`* Unix Builds`
		6744	`Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static`
		6745	`library or a shared library.`
		6746
		6747	`JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred`
		6748	`when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix`
		6749	`systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already`
		6750	`start with 'lib'.`
		6751
		6752	`* BuildPkgArchive`
		6753	`Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if`
		6754	`they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source`
		6755	`package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.`
		6756
		6757	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6758	`Version: JATS_2.49.0 Released: 10-Feb-06`
		6759	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6760	`Major changes:`
		6761	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6762	`Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target`
		6763	`THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get`
		6764	`regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was`
		6765	`being manually maintained.`
		6766
		6767
		6768	`Minor changes:`
		6769	`* MakeAnt directive`
		6770	`Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset`
		6771	`that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset`
		6772	`supports ANT builds.`
		6773
		6774	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6775	`Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where`
		6776	`there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.`
		6777
		6778	`* Label utility`
		6779	`Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified`
		6780	`files to be labeled.`
		6781
		6782	`* Build. Parsing descpkg files`
		6783	`Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly`
		6784	`on Solaris.`
		6785
		6786	`* Generated makefiles`
		6787	`Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to`
		6788	`nothing.`
		6789
		6790	`* MOS Toolset`
		6791	`Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.`
		6792	`This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised`
		6793	`modules.`
		6794
		6795	`* Utility: gen_cots`
		6796	`This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry`
		6797	`and then check it in under clearcase.`
		6798
		6799	`JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.`
		6800
		6801	`* Utilty cache_dpkg`

		6805	`Version: JATS_2.48.0 Released: 24-Jan-06`
		6806	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6807	`Major changes:`
		6808	`None`
		6809
		6810	`Minor changes:`
		6811	`* DEVI addressed`
		6812	`DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource`
5710	dpurdie	6813	`DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource`
227	dpurdie	6814
		6815	`* Utility: release (cbuild)`
		6816	`Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching`
		6817	`rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:`
		6818
		6819	`jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH`
		6820
		6821	`will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating`
		6822	`a patch for Sydney Legacy work.`
		6823
		6824	`* RunTest directive`
		6825	`The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have`
		6826	`been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to`
		6827	`test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.`
		6828
		6829	`* PackageFile, Option --DirTree`
		6830	`Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the`
		6831	`--DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be`
		6832	`packaged under JATS`
		6833
		6834	`Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not`
		6835	`supported within JATS.`
		6836
		6837	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6838	`Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the`
		6839	`sanitized environment provided by JATS.`
		6840
		6841	`The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's`
		6842	`PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the`
		6843	`JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.`
		6844
		6845	`Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2`
		6846	`Eg: jats ant`
		6847
		6848	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6849	`Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )`
		6850
5710	dpurdie	6851	`This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file`
227	dpurdie	6852	`called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called`
		6853	`<ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the`
		6854	`<ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the`
		6855	`<ProjectName>.xml file.`
		6856
5710	dpurdie	6857	`If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will`
227	dpurdie	6858	`expect a build.pl file.`
		6859
		6860	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6861	`Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.`
		6862
		6863	`* Jats utility: create_dpkg`
		6864	`Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within`
		6865	`the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.`
		6866
		6867	`* Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)`
		6868	`Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.`
		6869
		6870	`* Build files`
		6871	`Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with`
5710	dpurdie	6872	`VIX extensions.`
227	dpurdie	6873
		6874	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6875	`Version: JATS_2.47.0 Released: 20-Dec-05`
		6876	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6877	`Major changes:`
		6878	`* BuildVersion directive in build.pl`
		6879	`Correct a problem in the generation of version.c`
		6880	`The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing`
		6881	`space when the 'array' mode was selected.`
		6882
		6883	`This may cause module validation to fail.`
		6884
		6885	`Minor changes:`
		6886	`* None`
		6887
		6888	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6889	`Version: JATS_2.46.0 Released: 08-Dec-05`
		6890	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6891	`Major changes:`
		6892	`* BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives`
		6893	`Added option --Uses=NAME`
		6894	`ie:`
		6895	`BuildProduct ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5', 'MOSCF' );`
		6896
		6897	`This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5`
		6898	`headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the`
		6899	`OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build`
		6900	`environments are compatible.`
		6901
		6902
		6903	`Minor changes:`
		6904	`* BuildName option`
		6905	`Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames`
5710	dpurdie	6906	`that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).`
227	dpurdie	6907
		6908	`* jats.bat`
		6909	`Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined`
		6910	`It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.`
		6911
		6912	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6913	`Version: JATS_2.45.0 Released: 29-Nov-05`
		6914	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6915	`Major changes:`
		6916	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6917	`The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified`
		6918	`so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly`
		6919	`speeds up multiple 'build' operations.`
		6920
		6921	`If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then`
		6922	`this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are`
		6923	`considered as under development and are subject to change.`
		6924
		6925	`If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be`
		6926	`installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to`
		6927	`be transferred into the 'interface' directory.`
		6928
		6929	`A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been`
		6930	`transferred.`
		6931
		6932	`* Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.`
		6933	`See notes below.`
		6934
		6935	`* WIN32 toolset`
		6936	`Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate`
		6937	`correctly.`
		6938
		6939	`Export the complete library search path into the build environment`
		6940	`for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.`
		6941
		6942	`* BuildVersion`
		6943	`Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#`
		6944	`The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for`
		6945	`other langauges as needed.`
		6946
		6947
		6948	`Minor changes:`
		6949	`* Utility: gen_winrc.pl`
		6950	`Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.`
		6951	`This information will be available to be placed into the generation`
		6952	`version strings.`
		6953
		6954	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		6955	`Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local`
		6956	`package or an imported package.`
		6957
		6958	`* Toolsets: MOS_MRI`
		6959	`Generate an error if required tools are not found.`
		6960	`Previously this condition would generate a warning.`
		6961
		6962	`* BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives`
		6963	`Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check`
		6964	`was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same`
		6965	`version to be included. This could result in badly formed`
		6966	`makefiles and strange error messages.`
		6967
		6968	`Internal Changes`
		6969	`* Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common`
		6970	`directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite`
		6971	`of utilities.`
		6972
		6973	`Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting`
		6974	`functions.`
		6975
		6976	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6977	`Version: JATS_2.44.0 Released: 18-Nov-05`
		6978	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6979	`Major changes:`
		6980	`* Generated makefiles`
		6981	`Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE`
		6982	`cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure`
		6983	`that sed did not process its arguments.`
		6984
		6985	`This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts`
		6986	`within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was`
		6987	`incorrectly processing:`
		6988	`sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'`
		6989	`The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was`
		6990	`then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally`
		6991	`confused.`
		6992
		6993	`NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a`
		6994	`breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).`
		6995	`The construct`
		6996	`-D__SOURCE__=\"name\"`
		6997	`was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,`
		6998	`then it works.`
		6999
		7000	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7001	`Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile`
		7002
		7003	`This option has the following effects`
		7004	`1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and`
		7005	`can be used installed and manipulated.`
		7006
		7007	`2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done`
		7008	`early - in the generated files phase.`
		7009
		7010	`Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java`
		7011	`component needs to generate a header file early.`
		7012
		7013
		7014	`Minor changes:`
		7015	`* JATS post-installation script`
		7016	`Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.`
		7017
		7018	`* Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix`
		7019	`systems. Thus .h and .H files will considered header files in`
		7020	`windows.`
		7021
		7022	`* Build.pl rewrite tool`
		7023	`Handle all variants of BuildName`
		7024
		7025	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7026	`Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable`
		7027	`1) Contain spaces`
		7028	`2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped`
		7029
		7030	`* Toolset`
		7031	`Added a 'LINUX' platform.`
		7032
		7033	`* JAVA toolset`
		7034	`Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following`
		7035	`directive:`
		7036
		7037	`includeAntRuntime="off"'`
		7038
		7039	`This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to`
		7040	`the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's`
		7041	`version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.`
		7042
		7043	`* GCC Toolset`
		7044	`Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian`
		7045
		7046	`* Makefile generation`
		7047	`When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS`
		7048	`has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.`
		7049	`Previously JATS would use the package name found within the`
		7050	`descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the`
		7051	`package could not be used.`
		7052
		7053	`* Unit Tests`
		7054	`The following environment variables are set:`
		7055
		7056	`GBE_TYPE - The type of build. Debug or production. This`
		7057	`will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'`
		7058
		7059	`GBE_HOST - The host machine we are running on.`
		7060	`This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'`
		7061
		7062	`These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.`
		7063
		7064	`* New makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		7065
		7066
		7067	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`

		7069	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7070	`Major changes:`
		7071	`* New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.`
		7072
		7073	`Special features of this toolset.`
		7074	`1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file`
		7075	`This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be`
		7076	`incorporated within the target image.`
		7077
		7078	`2) Prog directive extensions:`
		7079	`--Set=Name=Value`
		7080	`The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.`
		7081	`This allows the location of program segments to be set`
		7082
		7083	`--Ref=name`
		7084	`The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used`
		7085	`to provide information that will be placed within the`
		7086	`THX header. The version number will be ignored. It`
		7087	`will be taken from the build version number.`
		7088
		7089	`Minor changes:`
		7090	`* MOS Toolset`
		7091	`Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.`
		7092	`Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or`
		7093	`packaged.`
		7094
		7095	`* Src directive`
		7096	`No generates a warning if no source files are located within the`
		7097	`directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform`
		7098	`specifier.`
		7099
		7100	`* WIN32 runtime support`
		7101	`Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.`
		7102	`1) od - dump files in octal and other formats`
		7103	`2) cmp - compare two files byte by byte`
		7104
		7105	`Internal:`
		7106	`Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"`
		7107	`dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program`
		7108	`generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.`

		7113	`Major changes:`
		7114	`* BuildAlias directive`
		7115	`Added options.`
		7116	`--Define - Does not create implicit platforms`
		7117	`--Target - Redeclares the alais as the list of all`
		7118	`platforms that are based on a given target or`
		7119	`targets.`
		7120	`Eg:`
		7121	`BuildAlias ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );`
		7122	`BuildProduct ( 'GAK', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );`
		7123	`BuildProduct ( 'PCP', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );`
		7124
		7125	`Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's`
		7126	`that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of`
		7127	`'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.`
		7128
		7129	`Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.`
		7130	`The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the`
		7131	`specification of all the LMOS targets.`
		7132
		7133
		7134	`Minor changes:`
		7135	`* Label utility`

		7143	`--FilterIn option.`
		7144
		7145	`* jats release (cbuilder) utility`
		7146	`Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.`
		7147	`The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.`
		7148
		7149	`* Location of descpkg file`
		7150	`All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was`
		7151	`created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it`
		7152	`can be done within any makefile.pl.`

		7159	`Extended the options and operation of RunTest`
		7160	`Additional options`
		7161	`--CopyIn=file`
		7162	`This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before`
		7163	`the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This`
		7164	`allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into`
		7165	`the test area.`
		7166
		7167	`Additional operations`
		7168	`The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of`
		7169	`transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms`
		7170	`--File(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a known file`

		7199
		7200	`The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.`
		7201	`This may not be sutable for all packages.`
		7202
		7203	`Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be`

		7238	`Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be`
		7239	`added to a program as it is created. The option is:`
		7240	`--ProgLoader=name`
		7241
		7242	`* Package directives. PackageFile`
		7243	`Added support for packaging of directory trees.`
		7244	`Options to do this are:`
		7245	`--TreeDir=name`
		7246	`--FilterOut=regexp`
		7247	`--FilterIn=regexp`
		7248	`--StripDir`
		7249
		7250	`Only a single directory can be specified.`
		7251	`Multiple filters are allowed.`
		7252	`The directories must be within the current directory. It is not`
		7253	`possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.`
		7254
		7255	`The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.`
		7256	`The filters are regular expressions. Examples:`
		7257
		7258	`'--FilterIn=\.h$' - Select all files ending with .h`
		7259	`'--FilterOut=MyHeader.h' - Except this one`
		7260
		7261	`The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the`
		7262	`files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.`
		7263
		7264
		7265	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7266	`Version: JATS_2.39.0 Released: 14-Sep-05`
		7267	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7268	`Major changes:`
		7269	`* Make commands`
		7270	`Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.`
		7271
		7272	`The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools`
		7273	`sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter`
		7274
		7275	`* Label utility`
		7276	`Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.`
		7277	`Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.`
		7278
		7279	`Minor changes:`
		7280	`* Toolsets`
		7281	`Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable`
		7282	`variables and overrides.`
		7283
		7284	`The make_init target is always run.`
		7285	`This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide`
		7286	`compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.`
		7287
		7288	`* Deployment`
		7289	`Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction`
		7290	`with deployment operations.`
		7291
		7292	`* Release utility`
		7293	`Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.`
		7294	`The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further`
		7295	`restricted by options within the build.`
		7296
		7297	`* PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl`
		7298	`The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a`
		7299	`problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the`
		7300	`list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the`
		7301	`list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.`
		7302
		7303	`Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these`
		7304	`directives.`
		7305
		7306	`* MakeProject directive`
		7307	`If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed`
		7308	`because 'make' stops when a command fails.`
		7309
		7310	`The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the`
		7311	`log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command`
		7312	`is preserved.`
		7313
		7314	`* Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl`
		7315	`Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'`
		7316	`statements.`
		7317
		7318	`* Mugfile generation`
		7319	`Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to`
		7320	`be placed in the target package.`

		7331	`The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build`
		7332	`number.`
		7333
		7334	`Minor changes:`
		7335	`* AddFlags directives`
		7336	`Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of`
		7337	`duplicate flags being added.`
		7338
		7339	`* GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)`
		7340	`Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS`
		7341	`loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.`
		7342
		7343	`* Mug File Generation`
		7344	`Added support to allow load files to include other load files.`
		7345
		7346	`* 'cbuild' or 'release' command`
		7347	`Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the`
		7348	`problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been`
		7349	`labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root`
		7350	`directory.`
		7351
		7352	`The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT`
		7353	`reproducible.`
		7354
		7355	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7356	`Version: JATS_2.37.0 Released: 22-Aug-05`

		7362	`longer a list of directories.`
		7363
		7364	`Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now`
		7365	`done within the toolset.`

		7368
		7369	`* JATS environment variables`

		7371	`GBE_DPKG - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive`
		7372	`Previously was a list that included the`
		7373	`dpkg_archive cache.`
		7374
		7375	`New variable`
		7376	`GBE_DPKG_CACHE - Optional directory for a local cache of`

		7382	`Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various`
		7383	`target platforms to be extracted.`
		7384
		7385	`Better support for Product families. This is only an issue`
		7386	`for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of`
		7387	`libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.`
		7388
		7389	`* Utility: release (cbuilder)`

		7401	`structure.`
		7402
		7403	`* makefile.pl's`
		7404	`GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools`
		7405	`to be generated within the same script. Example:`
		7406
		7407	`Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );`
		7408	`GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",`
		7409	`'--Prereq(infile)',`

		7411
		7412	`RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can`
		7413	`be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These`
		7414	`tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will`
		7415	`be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to`
5710	dpurdie	7416	`the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as`
227	dpurdie	7417	`-- Auto.`
		7418
		7419	`* Added a new make target: run_unit_tests`
		7420	`This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive`
		7421	`unit tests within an automated framework.`
		7422
		7423	`* Make run_test and run_unit_test operation`
		7424	`The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to`
		7425	`include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well`
		7426	`as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to`
		7427	`locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.`
		7428
		7429	`* WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6`
		7430	`The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer`
		7431	`imported from the users environment as the environment is`
		7432	`indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are`
		7433	`installed on the machine.`
		7434
		7435	`* WINCE Targets`
		7436	`The name of the SDK is case sensitive.`

		7449
		7450	`* Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the`
		7451	`generation of debug information so that the linker does not`

		7453
		7454	`* UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)`
		7455	`Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to`
		7456	`interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into`
		7457	`the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being`
		7458	`searched when looking for libraries.`
		7459
		7460	`Minor changes:`
		7461	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		7462	`New sub-options to filename generation commands`
		7463	`--abspath - provide the named file with an absolute path`
		7464	`--absdrive - provide the named file with an absolute path`
		7465	`and drive letter`
		7466
		7467	`* Src directive`
		7468	`Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root`
		7469	`directory of a package.`
		7470
		7471	`Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );`
		7472
		7473	`Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is`

		7484	`Major changes:`
		7485	`* SunWorks production builds`
		7486	`Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler`
		7487	`optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:`
		7488	`cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld`
		7489	`The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the`
		7490	`compiler documentation.`

		7497
		7498	`Minor changes:`
		7499	`* Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under`
		7500	`windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.`
		7501	`This should not affect current users.`
		7502
		7503	`* Mugfile generation`
		7504	`Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be`
		7505	`specified.`
		7506	`"--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"`

		7515
		7516	`Minor changes:`
		7517	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7518	`Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe`
		7519	`scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes`
		7520	`that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.`
		7521
		7522	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive`
		7523	`Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft`

		7551
		7552	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7553	`Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of`
		7554	`ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in`
		7555	`conjunction with the JAVA target`

		7592	`* Support for Windows DLLs`
		7593	`When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is`
		7594	`created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used`
		7595	`by the package to be accessed.`
		7596
		7597	`The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the`
		7598	`application or visual studio.`

		7641	`Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to`
		7642	`force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as`
		7643	`BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of`
		7644	`sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed`
		7645	`in a known directory structure within the sandbox.`
		7646
		7647	`* WINCE and WIN32 Toolset`
		7648	`Options for Program and Shared Library construction`

		7665	`of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc`
		7666
		7667	`* MugFile generation`
		7668	`Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be`

		7673	`Multiple platforms should be specified as:`
		7674	`Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );`
		7675	`with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace`
		7676	`If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what`
		7677	`was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest`
		7678	`solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.`
		7679
		7680	`* GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl`
		7681	`Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for`

		7701	`to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by`
		7702	`other components.`
		7703
		7704	`Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.`
		7705

		7743
		7744	`* New utility - jats_save_build.pl`

		7835	`corrected.`
		7836
		7837	`* JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate`

		7870	`* Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.`
		7871	`The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward`

		7873	`SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.`
		7874
		7875	`* Preliminary Support`
		7876	`Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are`

		7883
		7884	`These options limit processing to either Production or Debug`
		7885	`building. The default build will build both.`
		7886
		7887	`Minor changes:`
		7888	`* Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate`

		7921
		7922	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if`
		7923	`the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to`
		7924	`the build command, will prevent this behaviour.`
		7925
		7926
		7927	`Minor changes:`
		7928	`* create_dpkg utility`

		8174	`Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries`
		8175	`in the same manner at Shared Libraries.`
		8176
		8177	`* WinCE toolsets`
		8178	`Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve`
		8179	`compiler specific libraries.`
		8180
		8181	`* SOLARIS toolset`
		8182	`Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line`
		8183	`with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with`
		8184	`OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.`
		8185
		8186	`Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared`
		8187	`libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being`
		8188	`cleaned up.`
		8189
		8190	`* Microtec tools set (MOS)`
		8191	`Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args`
		8192
		8193	`* jats_rewriter.pl`
		8194	`Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments`
		8195	`with either " or ' characters.`
		8196
		8197
		8198	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8199	`Version: JATS_2.11.0 Released: 15-Mar-05`
		8200	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8201	`Major changes:`
		8202	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		8203	`The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area`
		8204	`The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform`
		8205	`specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories`
		8206
		8207	`Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process`
		8208	`of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.`
		8209
		8210	`* Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the`
		8211	`user.`
		8212
		8213	`* MOS Microtec Toolset`
		8214	`Always present an absolute filename to the compiler`
		8215	`Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress`
		8216
		8217	`This will remove error messages about the path being too long`
		8218	`for the -Gf option.`
		8219
		8220	`Minor changes:`
		8221	`* SOLARIS Toolset`
		8222	`Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line`
		8223
		8224	`* Win32 and WinCE Toolset`
		8225	`Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or`
		8226	`the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to`
		8227	`figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.`
		8228
		8229	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8230	`Version: JATS_2.10.0 Released: 11-Mar-05`
		8231	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8232	`Major changes:`
		8233	`* Extended BuildName to accept the form`
		8234	`BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );`
		8235
		8236	`* MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.`
		8237	`Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and`
		8238	`data addresses for the board.`
		8239
		8240	`BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );`
		8241
		8242	`Will set the code,data address for the debugable image`
		8243
		8244	`* Extended the PackageXxxxx options`
		8245	`1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy`
		8246	`Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the`
		8247	`"platform" name. Only useful within the context of the`
		8248	`PackageFile`
		8249
		8250	`2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile`
		8251	`directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the`
		8252	`platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a`
		8253	`suffix. In practice this is the logical use.`
		8254
		8255	`* Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been`
		8256	`discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files`
		8257	`to be installed and packaged.`
		8258
		8259	`Minor changes:`
		8260
		8261	`* cache_dpkg utility`
		8262	`If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache`
		8263	`entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.`
		8264
		8265	`* label utility`
		8266	`New option -auto to create and label`
		8267
		8268	`* Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files`
		8269	`This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names`
		8270
		8271	`* The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument`
		8272	`This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root`
		8273	`directory. ie:`
		8274
		8275	`BuildDirTree ( '', 'pkg' );`
		8276
		8277	`* Fixed DEVIM 00019520`
		8278	`The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to`
		8279	`the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.`
		8280
		8281
		8282	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8283	`Version: JATS_2.9.0 Released: 28-Feb-05`
		8284	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8285	`Major changes:`
		8286	`* First release for Back Office and Front Office use.`
		8287
		8288	`* Added the jats tool jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.`
		8289	`To be used by the nightly build process.`
		8290
		8291	`* Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.`
		8292	`The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the`
		8293	`compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete`
		8294	`the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.`
		8295
		8296	`The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's`
		8297	`interface directory and to remove all temp files before each`
		8298	`compilation.`
		8299
		8300	`This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.`
		8301
		8302	`Minor changes:`
		8303	`* The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if`
		8304	`one is being produced.`
		8305
		8306	`* Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"`
		8307	`option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better`
		8308	`job of cleaning the workspace.`
		8309
		8310	`* Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS`
		8311
		8312	`* Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive`
		8313
		8314	`* Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.`
		8315	`This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.`
		8316
		8317	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8318	`Version: JATS_2.8.0 Released: 17-Feb-05`
		8319	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8320	`Major changes:`
		8321	`* Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be`
		8322	`installed in order for the compilers to work.`
		8323
		8324	`* New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220`
		8325
		8326	`* All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile`
		8327	`This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the`
		8328	`same directory`
		8329
		8330	`* Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag`
		8331	`_DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the`
		8332	`documenattion.`
		8333
		8334	`Minor changes:`
		8335	`* Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings`
		8336	`Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match`
		8337
		8338	`* Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with`
		8339	`spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.`
		8340
		8341	`* Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.`
		8342	`Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB`
		8343
		8344	`* Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display`
		8345	`when the verbose option had not been selected`
		8346
		8347	`* Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files`
		8348	`would prevent the execution of the command. This command should`
		8349	`be exempt from this test.`
		8350
		8351	`* Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE`
		8352	`platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.`
		8353
		8354	`* The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build`
		8355	`clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.`
		8356
		8357	`Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be`
		8358	`removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"`
		8359	`does.`
		8360
		8361	`* The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will`
		8362	`not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.`
		8363
		8364
		8365	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8366	`Version: JATS_2.7.0 Released: 09-Feb-05`
		8367	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8368	`Major changes:`
		8369	`* First release with support for the DAFBR compiler`
		8370
		8371	`* Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:`
		8372	`--Interface - Pull lib from Interface directory`
		8373	`--Local - Pull lib from Local directory (default)`
		8374	`--SubDir=pathname - Pull lib from a subdirectory`
		8375	`Note: xxxx,pathname still works`
		8376
		8377	`* Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling`
		8378	`operations.`
		8379
		8380	`* Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.`
		8381
		8382	`* Added this manual ChangeLog file`
		8383
		8384	`Minor changes`
		8385	`* Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to`
		8386	`be run in a controlled environment from the command line.`
		8387
		8388	`* Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various`
		8389	`toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the`
		8390	`directory is not added to the library path.`
		8391
		8392	`Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will`
		8393	`not add the xxxx/lib to the path.`
		8394
		8395	`* cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.`
		8396	`The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search`
		8397	`first in an attempt to speed up the process.`
		8398
		8399	`* The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not`
		8400	`begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler`
		8401	`specific flags.`
		8402
		8403	`* The use of linker flags will issue a warning.`
		8404
		8405	`* Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been`
		8406	`determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions`
		8407	`such they are available to the common makefile.pl.`
		8408
		8409	`* Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify`
		8410	`a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of`
		8411	`JATS.`
		8412
		8413	`* Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that`
		8414	`caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.`
		8415
		8416	`* The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS`
		8417	`projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full`
		8418	`pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.`
		8419
		8420	`* The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to`
		8421	`the initial DLL or EXE.`
		8422
		8423	`* Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may`
		8424	`fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created`
		8425	`since the "generate" phase was not being run.`
		8426
		8427	`Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated`
		8428	`and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive`
		8429
		8430	`* JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.`
		8431
		8432	`* The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.`
		8433	`Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.`
		8434
		8435	`* Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if`
		8436	`the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's`
		8437	`objects.`
		8438
		8439	`* Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make`
		8440	`command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in`
		8441	`that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always`
		8442	`build defendants.`
