		2330	`* Makefile generation`
		2331	`Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error`

		2636	`This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.`

		2639	`Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.`

		2703	`Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.`
		2704
377	dpurdie	2705	`A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on`

375	dpurdie	2708

		2727	`Debug information is created for both production and debug builds`
		2728	`Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the`
		2729	`executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner`
		2730	`as the main binary.`
		2731
		2732	`This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while`
		2733	`retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded`
		2734	`device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the`
		2735	`debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of`
		2736	`both worlds.`

		3551	`Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.`
		3552
		3553	`* Jats save_build utility`
		3554	`Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file`
		3555	`under windows.`
		3556
		3557	`* Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds`
		3558	`All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)`
		3559	`This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared`
		3560	`libraries.`
		3561
		3562	`* Solaris builds`
		3563	`Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before`
		3564	`the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing`
		3565	`dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause`
		3566	`of the build failure.`
		3567
		3568
		3569	`Internal changes:`
		3570	`* Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program`

		3574	`PkgArchive topics.`

		3580	`* Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets`
		3581	`Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64`

		3633	`Useful side effects include:`
		3634
		3635	`JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included`

		3644
313	dpurdie	3645	`* Perl Modules`
		3646	`Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS`

		3663
		3664	`* Jats label utility`
		3665	`Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors`
		3666
		3667	`Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that`
		3668	`the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find`
		3669	`new files and folders to label - there should be none.`
		3670
		3671	`* Jats core`
		3672	`Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow`

		3685
309	dpurdie	3686	`The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered`
307	dpurdie	3687	`in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile`
309	dpurdie	3688	`to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.`
307	dpurdie	3689

		3718
		3719	`WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the`
		3720	`WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.`

		3723	`Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported`

		3732
		3733	`* MOS builds`

		3795	`as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if`
		3796	`this occurs.`
		3797
		3798	`* The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.`
		3799	`This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'`

		3802

		3815	`* Jats Command line and -java option`
		3816	`This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into`

		3883	`Borlands Delphi Version 7.`
		3884
		3885	`See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options`
		3886	`to the Prog and SharedLib directives.`
		3887
		3888	`This toolset has a number of limitations:`
		3889	`1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single`
		3890	`makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library`
		3891	`names cannot be changed.`
		3892
		3893	`2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated`
		3894	`artifacts is very simplistic.`
		3895
		3896	`Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the`
		3897	`name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.`
		3898	`ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );`
		3899	`Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'`
		3900
		3901	`Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk`
		3902	`file.`
		3903	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyPackage' );`
		3904	`will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file`
		3905	`MyPackage.dpk.`
		3906
		3907	`Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr`
		3908	`file.`
		3909	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyDll' );`
		3910	`will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file`
		3911	`MyDll.dpr.`
		3912
		3913	`Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr`
		3914	`file.`
		3915	`ie: Prog ( '*', 'MyProg' );`
		3916	`will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file`
		3917	`MyProg.dpr.`
		3918
		3919	`Minor changes:`
		3920	`* New EnvVar: DELPHI7`
		3921	`Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the`
		3922	`standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not`
		3923	`c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7`
		3924
		3925	`* BuildVersion directive`
		3926	`Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information`
		3927	`in a Delphi Unit.`
		3928
		3929	`Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.`
		3930	`If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files`
		3931	`will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will`
		3932	`'know' the location of the files.`
		3933
		3934	`* Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs`
		3935	`Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.`
		3936
		3937	`Internal Changes:`
		3938	`* ToolsetSHLD functions`
		3939	`Pass in the shared library version string as an argument`
		3940	`Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner`
		3941	`that is decoupled from the toolsets.`
		3942
		3943	`* Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries`
		3944	`merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets`
		3945	`and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.`

		3954
289	dpurdie	3955	`* Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password`

287	dpurdie	3957
289	dpurdie	3958	`NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order`

		3960	`Manager`
287	dpurdie	3961
		3962	`Minor changes:`

		4979	`Major changes:`
229	dpurdie	4980	`* Jats Release Mechanism`
		4981	`Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its`
		4982	`internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be`
		4983	`released using the 'standard' mechanism.`
		4984
		4985	`Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.`
		4986
		4987	`A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align`

		4989
		4990	`* Running Jats`
		4991	`Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.`

		5005
		5006	`* Build Directive: BuildVersion`
		5007	`This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'`

		5009	`build.`
		5010

		5013	`Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.`
		5014
		5015	`* Jats Tool: CCbc2`
		5016	`Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two`
		5017	`packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views`
		5018	`and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the`
		5019	`process.`
		5020
		5021	`Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.`

		5029	`* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat`
		5030	`Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported`

		5064
		5065	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5066	`Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared`

		5073	`Major changes:`
		5074
		5075	`Minor changes:`
		5076	`* WINCE toolsets`
		5077	`Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset`
		5078	`This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been`
		5079	`installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers`
		5080	`when header files cannot be found.`
		5081
		5082	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5083	`If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make`

		5085	`that are difficult to solve.`
		5086

		5095
		5096	`* Jats Tool: release`
		5097	`Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the`
		5098	`build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.`
		5099
		5100	`Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be`
		5101	`used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.`
		5102
		5103	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`
		5104	`Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be`

		5217	`Version: 2.71.1.cr Released: 16-Oct-07`

		5219	`Major changes:`
		5220
		5221	`Minor changes:`
		5222	`PackageLib directive`
		5223	`The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.`
		5224	`Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.`
		5225	`Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.`
		5226
		5227	`MakefileGenerate directive`
		5228	`This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,`

		5231	`Multiple Parent detection`
		5232	`A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the`

		5235	`condition will be treated as a warning.`
		5236
		5237	`Solaris Toolset`
		5238	`Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.`
		5239	`When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will`
		5240	`cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the`
		5241	`link.`
		5242
		5243	`Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the`
		5244	`misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an`
		5245	`indication that this is a bad thing to do.`
		5246
		5247	`Make and generation of subdirectories`
		5248	`Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.`
		5249	`This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency`
		5250	`file.`
		5251
		5252	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5253	`Version: 2.71.0.cr Released: 10-Oct-07`
		5254	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5255	`Major changes:`
		5256	`Makefile generation and make recursion`
		5257	`Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by`
		5258	`which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.`
		5259
		5260	`Summary of changes:`
		5261	`- Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories`
		5262	`and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program that performs`
		5263	`the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for`
		5264	`flexibility.`
		5265
		5266	`The user interface remains identical: jats make ....`
		5267
		5268	`- Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text`
		5269	`file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the`
		5270	`interface directory and associated build information.`
		5271
		5272	`- Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.`
		5273	`On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less`
		5274	`than one second.`
		5275
		5276	`- Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent`
		5277	`building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for`
		5278	`each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every`
		5279	`makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity`
		5280	`testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the`
		5281	`toolset. It is an expensive operation.`
		5282
		5283	`- Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism`
		5284	`for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,`
		5285	`rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.`
		5286
		5287	`- Better makefile rebuilding`
		5288	`Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to`
		5289	`detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-`
		5290	`building them.`
		5291
		5292	`- Detection of build file changes`
		5293	`The make process will detect that the build file has been modified`
		5294	`and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It`
		5295	`does not prevent the 'make' operation.`
		5296
		5297	`- Quieter make output`
		5298	`The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.`
		5299
		5300
		5301	`Minor changes:`
		5302	`MakeAnt Directive`
		5303	`Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5`
		5304
		5305	`JATS command "debug" and "prod"`
		5306	`These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:`
		5307	`jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args`
		5308	`Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution`
		5309	`display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.`
		5310
		5311	`CSHARP toolset`
		5312	`Correctly detect missing compiler directories`

		5325	`Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.`

		5406	`Minor changes:`
		5407	`* Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path`
		5408	`Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.`
		5409

		5411	`AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched`
		5412	`last.`
		5413
		5414	`For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:`
		5415
		5416	`1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl`
		5417	`or within any such directive with the --Local option`
		5418
		5419	`2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with`
		5420	`InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.`
		5421
		5422	`3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive`
		5423
		5424	`4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl`
		5425	`or within any such directive with the --Global option`
		5426
		5427	`5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive`

		5439	`Major changes:`
		5440
		5441	`Minor changes:`
		5442	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5443	`Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the`
		5444	`dependent packages.`
		5445
		5446	`* RunTest operation`
		5447	`Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.`

		5452	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5453	`Version: JATS_2.68.0 Released: 20-Aug-07`
		5454	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5455	`Major changes:`
		5456	`* Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)`
		5457
		5458	`It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and`
		5459	`javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was`
		5460	`normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages`
		5461	`were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search`
		5462	`path.`
		5463
		5464	`JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt`
		5465	`directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and`
		5466	`reproducible.`
		5467
		5468	`This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.`
		5469	`This is better than building incorrectly.`
		5470
		5471	`There are several aspects to the change`
		5472	`1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If`
		5473	`the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the`
		5474	`PATH then these will be used and report an error.`
		5475
		5476	`2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build`
		5477	`Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.`
		5478	`Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is`
		5479	`controlled separately.`
		5480
		5481	`Minor changes:`
		5482	`* Sanitize the PATH environment variable`
		5483	`Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched`
		5484	`Remove duplicates`
		5485	`Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH`
		5486
		5487	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5488	`Version: JATS_2.67.1 Released: 17-Aug-07`
		5489	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5490	`Major changes:`
		5491
		5492	`Minor changes:`
		5493	`* Makefile sanity test`
		5494	`Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are`
		5495	`not then run on a machine of a different type.`
		5496
		5497	`This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-`
		5498	`x86 machine.`
		5499
		5500	`* Correct bug in RunTest`
		5501	`RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory`
		5502
		5503	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5504	`Version: JATS_2.67.0 Released: 13-Aug-07`
		5505	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5506	`Major changes:`
		5507	`* RunTest directive`
		5508	`Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the`
		5509	`CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing`
		5510	`toolset specific test frameworks has been added.`
		5511
		5512	`Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.`
		5513	`The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option`
		5514	`--FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program`
		5515	`under test will be passed to the framework. program.`
		5516
		5517	`If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework`
		5518	`builder within the current toolset.`
		5519
		5520	`When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:`
		5521	`'--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.`
		5522
		5523	`With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit`
		5524	`will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile`
		5525	`containing the RunTest directive.`
		5526
		5527	`The Nunit Framework supports the following options:`
		5528	`--Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+`
		5529
		5530	`This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will`
		5531	`be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external`
		5532	`package or the components 'local' lib directory.`
		5533
		5534	`SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:`
		5535	`--NonJats This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a`
		5536	`P or D suffix.`
		5537	`--Jats (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will`
		5538	`select the correct library type for this build.`
		5539
		5540	`Minor changes:`
		5541	`* New Cache cleanup mechanism`
		5542	`When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within`
		5543	`the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to`
		5544	`the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are`
		5545	`frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.`
		5546
		5547	`* Save Build Utility`
		5548	`This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file`
		5549	`used in a ripple build.`
		5550
		5551	`The utility has been enhanced to detect a reserved checkout of the`
		5552	`build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.`
		5553
		5554	`* Release Utility`
		5555	`The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked`
		5556	`when an error is encountered.`
		5557
		5558	`This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be`
		5559	`unlocked if a build error occurs.`
		5560
		5561	`* Jats caching local copy of itself`
		5562	`Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message`
		5563	`being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.`
		5564
		5565	`* Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step`
		5566	`before the makefiles are created.`
		5567
		5568	`* TestProg directive`
		5569	`TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs`
		5570
		5571	`* Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with`
		5572	`a 'space' or '$' in the file name.`

		5576	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5577	`Major changes:`
		5578	`* New build target`
		5579	`LINUX_ETX - Support for Linux on an ETX board`
		5580	`LMOS_LINUX_ETX - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target`

		5583	`DEVLINUX`
		5584	`LMOS_DEVLINUX`

		5588	`transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.`
		5589
		5590	`Minor changes:`
		5591	`* Added utility class to provide directory searching`
		5592	`To be used in JATS and JATS support tools`

		5595	`Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs`
		5596
		5597	`Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx`
		5598	`and .cs files.`
		5599
		5600	`Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right`
		5601	`thing.`
		5602
		5603	`* Microtec ColdFire compiler`
		5604	`Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a`
		5605	`local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control`
		5606	`were it places temp files.`
		5607
		5608	`Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected`
		5609	`interaction with other builds.`
		5610
		5611	`* Release utility command`
		5612	`Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create`
		5613	`multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique`
		5614	`component in the clearcase tag name.`

		5703	`Major changes:`
		5704	`* Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended`
		5705	`through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce`
		5706	`the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.`
		5707
		5708	`* GenerateFiles`
		5709	`Added the options:`
		5710	`--UnknownPreq - Will force the recipe to be run every time`

		5714
		5715	`--AutoGenerate - Will not force the recipe to be run during the`

		5838	`Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that`
		5839	`the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both`
		5840	`the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.`
		5841
		5842	`* jats label`
		5843	`Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB`
		5844
		5845	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5846	`Version: JATS_2.64.0 Released: 16-Apr-07`
		5847	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5848	`Major changes:`
		5849	`* New build platform:`
		5850	`LMOS_TP5600`
		5851	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI`
		5852	`LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5853
		5854	`LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600`
		5855	`supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to`
		5856	`describe the group of platforms.`
		5857
		5858	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5859	`These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to`
		5860	`build these targets.`
		5861
		5862	`The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,`
		5863	`where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.`
		5864
		5865	`The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,`
		5866	`where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.`
		5867
		5868	`* New build platform: WINCE`
		5869	`This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.`
		5870	`Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for`
		5871	`consumption on all WINCE machines.`
		5872
		5873	`The current list of WINCE targets is:`
		5874	`WCEIT3000`
		5875	`WCEPA961`
		5876	`WCEPA962`
		5877	`WCEPCM7220`
		5878	`WCEPSION_420`
		5879	`WCEPSPC_arm`
		5880	`WCEPSPC_emu`
		5881	`WCEX86A420`
		5882	`WCEX86A500`
		5883	`WCEX86A500_SOM4455`
		5884
		5885	`The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.`
		5886
		5887	`* JATS makefile.pl`
		5888	`The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles`
		5889	`that contain packaging directives.`
		5890
		5891	`There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in`
		5892	`very unusual configurations.`
		5893
		5894	`Minor changes:`
		5895	`* Directive: PackageFile`
		5896	`Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming`
		5897	`conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain`
		5898	`an '='.`
		5899
		5900	`Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead`
		5901	`of "--Subdir=etc".`
		5902
		5903	`* JATS Internal utility: cmdfile`
		5904	`Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that`
		5905	`provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.`
		5906
		5907	`This version will display the library search path with one item per line,`
		5908	`rather than all items on one, very long, line.`
		5909
		5910	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5911	`Version: JATS_2.63.0 Released: 5-Apr-07`
		5912	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5913	`Major changes:`
		5914
		5915	`* JATS release command`
		5916	`Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is`
		5917	`specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.`
		5918
		5919	`Rules are:`
		5920	`Modify a file: File will branch`
		5921	`Adding a file: Containing directory will not branch`
		5922	`File will be placed on a branch`
		5923	`Add a directory: Containing directory will not branch`
		5924	`New directory will branch`
		5925
		5926	`Minor changes:`
		5927	`* JATS release command`
		5928	`Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the`
		5929	`user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.`
		5930
		5931	`* JATS label command`
		5932	`Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label`
		5933	`is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.`
		5934
		5935	`* JATS make`
		5936	`Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and`
		5937	`Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package`
		5938	`was re-packaged.`
		5939
		5940	`* JATS escrow`
		5941	`Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.`
		5942	`Use jats escrow -help for details`
		5943
		5944	`* makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt`
		5945	`This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java`
		5946	`packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.`
		5947
		5948	`This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in`
		5949	`packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the`
		5950	`interface directory.`
		5951
		5952	`* build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive`
		5953	`Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.`
		5954	`Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'`
		5955	`directory as seen by the package.`
		5956
		5957	`Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10`
		5958
		5959	`* JAVA 6`
		5960	`JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y`
		5961	`environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.`
		5962
		5963	`The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5`
		5964	`and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.`
		5965
		5966	`The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables`
		5967
		5968	`* Jats command: vars`
		5969	`Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory`
		5970	`These indicate potential problems.`
		5971
		5972	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5973	`Version: JATS_2.62.4 Released: 20-Mar-07`
		5974	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5975	`Major changes:`
		5976	`* JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)`
		5977	`When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned`
		5978	`libarry is also created.`
		5979
		5980	`Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical`
		5981	`copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is`
		5982	`'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two`
		5983	`files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)`
		5984	`The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug`
		5985	`information contained within the file.`
		5986
		5987	`This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',`
		5988	`'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.`
		5989
		5990	`The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used`
		5991	`within the build environment and dpkg_archive.`
		5992
		5993	`* Building Perl Modules`
		5994	`Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the`
		5995	`documentation on the build machine.`
		5996
		5997	`Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.`
		5998
		5999	`Minor changes:`
		6000	`* jats create_dpkg`
		6001	`Added an option to create a built.generic file`
		6002	`This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.`
		6003
		6004	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6005	`Version: JATS_2.62.3 Released: 28-Feb-07`
		6006	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6007	`Major changes:`
		6008	`* JATS JAVA build target`
		6009	`The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the`
		6010	`default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.`
		6011
		6012	`Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar`
		6013	`JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.`
		6014	`Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this`
		6015	`is then picked up as the default version.`
		6016
		6017	`If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the`
		6018	`build.pl file.`
		6019
		6020	`Minor changes:`
		6021	`* jats release`
		6022	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH`
		6023	`Issue an error if it cannot be found.`
		6024	`This error indicates bad DevEnv setup`
		6025
		6026	`Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.`
		6027	`Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify`
		6028	`the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,`
		6029	`based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change`
		6030	`the name of the view.`
		6031
		6032	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		6033	`Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.`
		6034
		6035	`* MOS Toolset`
		6036	`When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly`
		6037	`used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set`
		6038	`up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization`
		6039
		6040	`Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );`
		6041
		6042
		6043	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6044	`Version: JATS_2.62.2 Released: 15-Feb-07`
		6045	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6046	`Major changes:`
		6047
		6048	`Minor changes:`
		6049	`* JATS environment`
		6050	`Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH`
		6051	`environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities`
		6052	`that are located in the Perl bin directory.`
		6053
		6054	`Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html`
		6055
		6056	`* Use of GENERIC platforms`
		6057	`Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform`
		6058	`specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because`
		6059	`they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need`
		6060	`to be packaged.`
		6061
		6062	`* Generated makefiles`
		6063	`Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.`
		6064
		6065	`* Generating MOS THX files`
		6066	`Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX`
		6067	`files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.`
		6068	`This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.`
		6069
		6070	`SharedLib ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );`
		6071
		6072	`* JATS release`
		6073	`Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix`
		6074
		6075	`* JATS extract`
		6076	`New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'`
		6077
		6078	`* JATS Toolset`
		6079	`Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)`
		6080	`This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK`
		6081
		6082
		6083	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6084	`Version: JATS_2.62.1 Released: 18-Jan-07`
		6085	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6086	`Major changes:`
		6087
		6088	`Minor changes:`
		6089	`* jats label`
		6090	`Added a -vob=name option`
		6091	`This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete`
		6092	`labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option`
		6093	`cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.`
		6094	`It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.`
		6095
		6096	`Added a -user=name option`
		6097	`This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the`
		6098	`label to the named user.`
		6099
		6100	`* jats release`
		6101	`Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner`
		6102	`Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.`
		6103
		6104	`* JATS build.pl`
		6105	`BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.`
		6106	`ie:`
		6107	`BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');`
		6108
		6109
		6110	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6111	`Version: JATS_2.62.0 Released: 22-Dec-06`
		6112	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6113	`Major changes:`
		6114	`* GenerateFiles and RunTest directives`
		6115	`These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile`
		6116	`values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of`
		6117	`the makefile internals. ie:`
		6118	`--Var(BuildName)`
		6119	`will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)`
		6120	`-BuildName=MyPackage`
		6121
		6122	`The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.`
		6123
		6124	`* GenerateFiles`
		6125	`Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase`
		6126	`This allows external scripts to cleanup.`
		6127
		6128	`* BuildPlatforms`
		6129	`Restored operation of the --Uses option`
		6130
		6131	`Minor changes:`
		6132	`* GCC Toolset`
		6133	`Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages`
		6134
		6135	`Internal changes:`
		6136	`* GenerateFiles`
		6137	`Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.`
		6138
		6139	`--Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an`
		6140	`external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.`
		6141
		6142
		6143	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6144	`Version: JATS_2.61.3 Released: 14-Dec-06`
		6145	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6146	`Major changes:`
		6147	`* Caching JATS`
		6148	`Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local`
		6149	`drive. This is applicable to windows.`
		6150
		6151	`This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in`
		6152	`dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of`
		6153	`then using JATS across a slow(network) link.`
		6154
		6155	`The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.`
		6156	`Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be`
		6157	`effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.`
		6158
		6159	`Use: Build Machines and Windows Users`
		6160
		6161	`Minor changes:`
		6162	`* Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option`
		6163	`Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:`
		6164	`TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.`
		6165
		6166	`* jats build`
		6167	`If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache`
		6168	`packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package`
		6169	`processed by the build.`
		6170
		6171	`* jats build`
		6172	`Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the`
		6173	`makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating`
		6174	`makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error`
		6175	`message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users`
		6176	`from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.`
		6177
		6178	`* PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr`
		6179	`Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the`
		6180	`Path is not specified.`
		6181
		6182	`Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in`
		6183	`conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a`
		6184	`package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified`
		6185	`--Dir=$Pinc`
		6186	`but $Pinc is not defined.`
		6187
		6188	`* Purify and Purecov under Windows`
		6189	`Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the`
		6190	`Windows platform.`
		6191
		6192	`- OPTIONS=purecov`
		6193	`Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required`
		6194	`by 'purecov.`
		6195
		6196	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		6197	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows`
		6198
		6199	`- OPTIONS=purify`
		6200	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		6201	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.`
		6202	`Under WIndows this option does nothing.`
		6203

		6206	`Version: JATS_2.61.2 Released: 27-Nov-06`
		6207	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6208	`Major changes:`
		6209	`* makefile.pl directive Platform`
		6210	`This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation`
		6211	`Example:`
		6212	`Platform ('!MOSCF');`
		6213	`Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF`
		6214	`This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');`
		6215
		6216	`Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have`
		6217	`been determined.`
		6218
		6219	`Minor changes:`
		6220	`* Added the ScanList directive.`
		6221	`This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be`
		6222	`located at build-time.`
		6223
		6224	`* Unix based systems`
		6225	`If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be`
		6226	`generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.`
		6227
		6228	`* MakeLinuxDriver`
		6229	`Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the`
		6230	`driver being built.`

		6260	`Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.`
		6261
		6262	`GenerateFiles.`
		6263	`Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does`

		6274	`There are two mechanism:`
		6275
		6276	`Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl`
		6277	`the option can apply to all programs being built.`
		6278

		6332	`similar, but more pronounced, issue.`
		6333
		6334	`* Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)`
		6335	`New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS`
		6336	`The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232`

		6432	`Version: JATS_2.56.2 Released: 28-Aug-06`
		6433	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6434	`Major changes:`
		6435
		6436	`Minor changes:`
		6437	`* WIN32 and WINCE toolsets`
		6438	`SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'`
		6439	`library without creating the body of the library:`

		6441
		6442

		6463	`Major changes:`
		6464	`* Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64`
		6465	`Initial release.`
		6466

		6470	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6471	`Version: JATS_2.56.0 Released: 18-Aug-06`
		6472	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6473	`Major changes:`
		6474	`* Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64`
		6475	`Initial release.`
		6476
		6477	`* Packaging directives`
		6478	`Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into`
		6479	`a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.`
		6480
		6481	`Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on`
		6482	`SOLARIS`
		6483	`WIN32`
		6484
		6485	`* Removal of support for badly formed packages`
		6486	`As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory`
		6487	`will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect`
		6488	`directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose`
		6489	`of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,`
		6490	`solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).`
		6491
		6492	`* Build Platform target name expansion facility`
		6493	`The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They`
		6494	`will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .`
		6495
		6496
		6497	`Minor changes:`
		6498	`* Utility: JATS LABEL`
		6499	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.`
		6500	`Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.`
		6501
		6502	`* Utility: JATS RELEASE`
		6503	`Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given`
		6504	`location`
		6505
		6506	`Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for`
		6507	`controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx`
		6508
		6509	`* Utility genrc`
		6510	`Added the company name to the copyright string`
		6511
		6512	`* Utility: jats_save_build`
		6513	`Added option: -new`
		6514	`This option forces the saved file only a new branch.`
		6515	`The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific`
		6516	`branch. Useful when branching an entire release.`
		6517
		6518	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6519	`Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.`
		6520	`Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.`
		6521
		6522	`* Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir`
		6523	`These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for`
		6524	`migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.`
		6525
		6526	`The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl`
		6527	`features - in a uniform manner.`
		6528
		6529
		6530	`Internal Changes:`
		6531	`* Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts`
		6532	`directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.`
		6533
		6534	`Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:`
		6535	`1) Platform information available at build time`
		6536	`2) Dynamic platform names`
		6537
		6538	`* Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform`
		6539	`The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the`
		6540	`machine on which the platform is invoked.`
		6541
		6542	`Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into`
		6543	`configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the`
		6544	`SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.`
		6545
		6546	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6547	`Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32`
		6548	`platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer`
		6549	`needed.`
		6550
		6551	`A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be`
		6552	`located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change`
		6553	`should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle`
		6554	`files from all of these.`

		6566	`Version: JATS_2.55.0 Released: 3-Aug-06`
		6567	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6568	`Major changes:`
		6569	`* Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used`
		6570	`Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of`
		6571	`JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.`
		6572
		6573	`The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.`
		6574
		6575	`JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up`
		6576	`the operations.`
		6577
		6578	`The version option MUST be the first option.`
		6579
		6580	`The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.`
		6581	`This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.`
		6582
		6583	`Example: jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build`
		6584
		6585	`* Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script`
		6586	`and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.`
		6587
		6588	`* Utility: create_dpkg`
		6589	`Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts`
		6590	`Extended the built-in help`
		6591	`Added useful error messages`
		6592	`Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism`
		6593
		6594	`* WinCE toolset`
		6595	`Added support for the WCEPA962 target.`
		6596
		6597	`* M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware`
		6598	`Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files`
		6599	`are used in the creation of bootstraps.`
		6600
		6601	`Minor changes:`
		6602	`* JATS wrapper script`
		6603	`Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from`
		6604	`the command line.`
		6605
		6606	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6607	`Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the`
		6608	`ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.`
		6609
		6610	`Internal Changes:`
		6611	`* Common Error Reporting`
		6612	`Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels`
		6613	`for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars`
		6614	`of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE`
		6615	`level.`
		6616
		6617	`Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is`
		6618	`displayed.`
		6619
		6620	`Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.`
		6621
		6622	`* Added JatsSystem module`
		6623	`Common code for accessing system commands`

		6635	`Added AT7272 support`
		6636
		6637	`* Tool: jats_manifest`
		6638	`Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms`

		6654	`Major changes:`
		6655

		6659	`builds.`
		6660
		6661	`* JATS Core`
		6662	`Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an`
		6663	`auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their`
		6664	`behaviour.`
		6665
		6666	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6667	`Version: JATS_2.54.0 Released: 22-Jun-06`
		6668	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6669	`Major changes:`
		6670	`* Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.`
		6671	`Deployment package will be affected.`
		6672
		6673	`The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment`
		6674	`support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:`
		6675
		6676	`BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );`
		6677
		6678	`This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided`
		6679	`by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start`
		6680	`of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield`
		6681	`packages.`
		6682
		6683	`* Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS`
		6684	`The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex`
		6685	`and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.`
		6686
		6687	`This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'`
		6688	`the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'`
		6689
		6690	`Minor changes:`
		6691	`* SubDir directive`
		6692	`Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies`
		6693	`a directory from two different makefiles.`
		6694
		6695	`* Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend`
		6696	`If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated`
		6697	`dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence`
		6698	`of the file usage.`
		6699
		6700	`* New utility: jats_manifest`
		6701	`Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.`
		6702	`Beta Release: Windows only at the moment`
		6703
		6704	`* Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc`
		6705	`The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries`
		6706	`generated within the build and have been installed locally.`
		6707
		6708	`* Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script`
		6709	`This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.`
		6710	`In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and`
		6711	`will execute a JATS extended command.`
		6712
		6713
		6714	`Internal Changes:`
		6715	`* Code refactor`
		6716	`Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.`
		6717
		6718	`* Deployment utilities`
		6719	`The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file`
		6720	`Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.`
		6721	`The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and`
		6722	`the module can locate the file.`
		6723
		6724	`Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate`
		6725	`the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.`
		6726
		6727	`* JATS core`
		6728	`Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.`
		6729
		6730	`Better parsing of descpkg files.`
		6731
		6732	`* JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm`
		6733	`Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs`
		6734	`through the use of environment variables.`
		6735
		6736	`A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment`
		6737	`variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.`
		6738
		6739	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6740	`Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:`
		6741	`deployfiles - as used by the deployment system`
		6742	`tools/scripts - as used by perl based extensions`
		6743
		6744	`* Make environment`
		6745	`Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to`
		6746	`include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.`

		6765
		6766	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6767	`Version: JATS_2.53.0 Released: 11-Apr-06`
		6768	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6769	`Major changes:`
		6770	`* Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access`
		6771	`The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been`
		6772	`radically replaced.`
		6773
		6774	`A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.`
		6775	`Usage:`
		6776	`jats etool test_rmconnection`
		6777
		6778	`The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle`
		6779	`Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with`
		6780	`this solution:`
		6781	`- Required the installation of two Perl Modules`
		6782	`- Required the installation of an Oracle client`
		6783	`- Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris`
		6784	`- Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline`
		6785
		6786	`The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin`
		6787	`client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in`
		6788	`order to work.`
		6789
		6790	`JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but`
		6791	`reduced functionality.`
		6792
		6793
		6794	`Minor changes:`
		6795	`* makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		6796	`Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.`
		6797	`This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.`
		6798
		6799	`* makefile.pl directive: SetList`
		6800	`Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists`
		6801	`within the makefiles.`
		6802	`Options:`
		6803	`--NoWarn Disable name clash warnings`
		6804	`--Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+ Add to list in selected projects`
		6805	`--Unique Add only if not already present`
		6806	`--Clear Clear list, before adding new items`
		6807	`--Append Append items to list (default)`
		6808	`-- Disable/Enable option parsing`
		6809	`Useage:`
		6810
		6811	`SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');`
		6812	`SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );`
		6813
		6814	`* Makefile.pl directive: RunTest`
		6815	`Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file`
		6816	`is not in the current directory.`
		6817
		6818	`* Jats Command: ant'`
		6819	`This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option`
		6820	`to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.`
		6821
		6822	`eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant`
		6823
		6824	`* TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support`
		6825	`Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next`
		6826	`generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version`
		6827	`of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr`
		6828
		6829	`* Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh`
		6830	`Added provision to process user command arguments.`
		6831	`Thus`
		6832
		6833	`set_WIN32.bat prog`
		6834
		6835	`will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog`
		6836
		6837
		6838	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6839	`Version: JATS_2.52.2 Released: 30-Mar-06`
		6840	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6841	`Major changes:`
		6842
		6843	`Minor changes:`
		6844	`* Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.`
		6845	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be`
		6846	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project`
		6847	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6848	`$(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always`
		6849
		6850	`* m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware`
		6851	`Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are`
		6852	`created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.`
		6853
		6854	`Internal changes:`
		6855	`* JATS toolsets`
		6856	`Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created`
		6857	`as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a`
		6858	`number of files, some which may be packaged.`
		6859
		6860	`Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now`
		6861	`they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.`
		6862
		6863	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6864	`Version: JATS_2.52.1 Released: 29-Mar-06`
		6865	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6866	`Major changes:`
		6867	`* Jats command: etool`
		6868	`Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment`
		6869	`tools to use the JATS core perl modules.`
		6870
		6871	`* Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer`
		6872	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be`
		6873	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt`
		6874	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6875	`$(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always`
		6876	`$ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always`
		6877
		6878	`Minor changes:`
		6879
		6880
		6881	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6882	`Version: JATS_2.52.0 Released: 27-Mar-06`
		6883	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6884	`Major changes:`
		6885	`* JATS environment variables`
		6886	`Added GBE_DPKG_STORE`
		6887	`Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow`
		6888	`read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be`
		6889	`searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,`
		6890	`will not publish packages in this repository.`
		6891
		6892	`Uses: Seed repository for a complete build`
		6893	`Remote repository`
		6894
		6895	`Added GBE_DPLY`
		6896	`Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the`
		6897	`placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.`
		6898
		6899	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6900	`Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.`
		6901	`Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This`
		6902	`created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by`
		6903	`the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.`
		6904
		6905	`The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be`
		6906	`processed once and it will be processed last.`
		6907
		6908
		6909	`Minor changes:`
		6910	`* JATS utility: build`
		6911	`* JATS utility: cache_dpkg`
		6912	`Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within`
		6913	`GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.`
		6914
		6915	`* JATS utility: gen_cots`
		6916	`Ensure label is not locked`
		6917	`Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package`
		6918	`that already exists in dpkg_archive.`
		6919
		6920	`* JATS directive: PackageFile`
		6921	`Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process`
		6922	`to a specific type of build.`
		6923
		6924	`* JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests`
		6925	`Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information`
		6926	`to be extracted and passed to generator programs.`
		6927	`ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)`
		6928
		6929	`Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as`
		6930	`sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.`
		6931	`ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)`
		6932
		6933	`* JATS utility: release`
		6934	`Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have`
		6935	`been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.`
		6936
		6937	`* JATS utility: label`
		6938	`Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,`
		6939	`when it is being created.`
		6940
		6941	`Internal Changes`
		6942	`* JATS utility: create_dpkg`
		6943	`Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.`
		6944
		6945	`Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use`
		6946	`to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.`
		6947
		6948	`* Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive`
		6949	`This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting`
		6950	`different results.`
		6951
		6952	`* ToolsetRequire directive`
		6953	`This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within`
		6954	`packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory`
		6955
		6956	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6957	`Version: JATS_2.51.0 Released: 15-Mar-06`
		6958	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6959	`Major changes:`
		6960
		6961	`* MCR toolset`
		6962	`Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files`
		6963
		6964	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6965	`Version: JATS_2.50.0 Released: 15-Feb-06`
		6966	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6967	`Major changes:`
		6968	`* WIN32 utilities`
		6969	`Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)`
		6970	`with versions from the GNUWin32 project.`
		6971
		6972	`The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories`
		6973	`under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the`
		6974	`same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).`
		6975
		6976	`Minor changes:`
		6977	`* BuildVersion`
		6978	`The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file`
		6979	`will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'`
		6980	`program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.`
		6981
		6982	`The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.`
		6983
		6984	`* Unix Builds`
		6985	`Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static`
		6986	`library or a shared library.`
		6987
		6988	`JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred`
		6989	`when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix`
		6990	`systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already`
		6991	`start with 'lib'.`
		6992
		6993	`* BuildPkgArchive`
		6994	`Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if`
		6995	`they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source`
		6996	`package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.`
		6997
		6998	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6999	`Version: JATS_2.49.0 Released: 10-Feb-06`
		7000	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7001	`Major changes:`
		7002	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		7003	`Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target`
		7004	`THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get`
		7005	`regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was`
		7006	`being manually maintained.`
		7007
		7008
		7009	`Minor changes:`
		7010	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7011	`Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset`
		7012	`that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset`
		7013	`supports ANT builds.`
		7014
		7015	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		7016	`Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where`
		7017	`there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.`
		7018
		7019	`* Label utility`
		7020	`Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified`
		7021	`files to be labeled.`
		7022
		7023	`* Build. Parsing descpkg files`
		7024	`Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly`
		7025	`on Solaris.`
		7026
		7027	`* Generated makefiles`
		7028	`Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to`
		7029	`nothing.`
		7030
		7031	`* MOS Toolset`
		7032	`Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.`
		7033	`This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised`
		7034	`modules.`
		7035
		7036	`* Utility: gen_cots`
		7037	`This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry`
		7038	`and then check it in under clearcase.`
		7039
		7040	`JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.`
		7041
		7042	`* Utilty cache_dpkg`
		7043	`Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.`

		7046	`Version: JATS_2.48.0 Released: 24-Jan-06`
		7047	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7048	`Major changes:`
		7049	`None`
		7050
		7051	`Minor changes:`
		7052	`* DEVI addressed`
		7053	`DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource`
5710	dpurdie	7054	`DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource`
227	dpurdie	7055
		7056	`* Utility: release (cbuild)`
		7057	`Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching`
		7058	`rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:`
		7059
		7060	`jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH`
		7061
		7062	`will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating`
		7063	`a patch for Sydney Legacy work.`
		7064
		7065	`* RunTest directive`
		7066	`The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have`
		7067	`been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to`
		7068	`test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.`
		7069
		7070	`* PackageFile, Option --DirTree`
		7071	`Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the`
		7072	`--DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be`
		7073	`packaged under JATS`
		7074
		7075	`Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not`
		7076	`supported within JATS.`
		7077
		7078	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7079	`Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the`
		7080	`sanitized environment provided by JATS.`
		7081
		7082	`The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's`
		7083	`PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the`
		7084	`JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.`
		7085
		7086	`Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2`
		7087	`Eg: jats ant`
		7088
		7089	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7090	`Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )`
		7091
5710	dpurdie	7092	`This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file`
227	dpurdie	7093	`called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called`
		7094	`<ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the`
		7095	`<ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the`
		7096	`<ProjectName>.xml file.`
		7097
5710	dpurdie	7098	`If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will`
227	dpurdie	7099	`expect a build.pl file.`
		7100
		7101	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7102	`Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.`
		7103
		7104	`* Jats utility: create_dpkg`
		7105	`Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within`
		7106	`the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.`
		7107
		7108	`* Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)`
		7109	`Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.`
		7110
		7111	`* Build files`
		7112	`Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with`
5710	dpurdie	7113	`VIX extensions.`
227	dpurdie	7114

		7116	`Version: JATS_2.47.0 Released: 20-Dec-05`
		7117	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7118	`Major changes:`
		7119	`* BuildVersion directive in build.pl`
		7120	`Correct a problem in the generation of version.c`
		7121	`The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing`
		7122	`space when the 'array' mode was selected.`
		7123
		7124	`This may cause module validation to fail.`
		7125
		7126	`Minor changes:`
		7127	`* None`
		7128
		7129	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7130	`Version: JATS_2.46.0 Released: 08-Dec-05`
		7131	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7132	`Major changes:`
		7133	`* BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives`
		7134	`Added option --Uses=NAME`
		7135	`ie:`
		7136	`BuildProduct ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5', 'MOSCF' );`
		7137
		7138	`This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5`
		7139	`headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the`
		7140	`OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build`
		7141	`environments are compatible.`
		7142
		7143
		7144	`Minor changes:`
		7145	`* BuildName option`
		7146	`Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames`
5710	dpurdie	7147	`that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).`
227	dpurdie	7148
		7149	`* jats.bat`
		7150	`Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined`
		7151	`It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.`
		7152
		7153	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7154	`Version: JATS_2.45.0 Released: 29-Nov-05`
		7155	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7156	`Major changes:`
		7157	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		7158	`The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified`
		7159	`so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly`
		7160	`speeds up multiple 'build' operations.`
		7161
		7162	`If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then`
		7163	`this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are`
		7164	`considered as under development and are subject to change.`
		7165
		7166	`If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be`
		7167	`installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to`
		7168	`be transferred into the 'interface' directory.`
		7169
		7170	`A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been`
		7171	`transferred.`
		7172
		7173	`* Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.`
		7174	`See notes below.`
		7175
		7176	`* WIN32 toolset`
		7177	`Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate`
		7178	`correctly.`
		7179
		7180	`Export the complete library search path into the build environment`
		7181	`for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.`
		7182
		7183	`* BuildVersion`
		7184	`Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#`
		7185	`The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for`
		7186	`other langauges as needed.`
		7187
		7188
		7189	`Minor changes:`
		7190	`* Utility: gen_winrc.pl`
		7191	`Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.`
		7192	`This information will be available to be placed into the generation`
		7193	`version strings.`
		7194
		7195	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		7196	`Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local`
		7197	`package or an imported package.`
		7198
		7199	`* Toolsets: MOS_MRI`
		7200	`Generate an error if required tools are not found.`
		7201	`Previously this condition would generate a warning.`
		7202
		7203	`* BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives`
		7204	`Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check`
		7205	`was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same`
		7206	`version to be included. This could result in badly formed`
		7207	`makefiles and strange error messages.`
		7208
		7209	`Internal Changes`
		7210	`* Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common`
		7211	`directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite`
		7212	`of utilities.`
		7213
		7214	`Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting`
		7215	`functions.`

		7222	`Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE`
		7223	`cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure`
		7224	`that sed did not process its arguments.`
		7225
		7226	`This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts`
		7227	`within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was`
		7228	`incorrectly processing:`
		7229	`sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'`
		7230	`The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was`
		7231	`then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally`
		7232	`confused.`
		7233
		7234	`NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a`
		7235	`breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).`
		7236	`The construct`
		7237	`-D__SOURCE__=\"name\"`
		7238	`was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,`
		7239	`then it works.`
		7240
		7241	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7242	`Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile`
		7243
		7244	`This option has the following effects`
		7245	`1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and`
		7246	`can be used installed and manipulated.`
		7247
		7248	`2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done`
		7249	`early - in the generated files phase.`
		7250
		7251	`Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java`
		7252	`component needs to generate a header file early.`
		7253
		7254
		7255	`Minor changes:`
		7256	`* JATS post-installation script`
		7257	`Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.`
		7258
		7259	`* Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix`
		7260	`systems. Thus .h and .H files will considered header files in`
		7261	`windows.`
		7262
		7263	`* Build.pl rewrite tool`
		7264	`Handle all variants of BuildName`
		7265
		7266	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7267	`Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable`
		7268	`1) Contain spaces`
		7269	`2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped`
		7270
		7271	`* Toolset`
		7272	`Added a 'LINUX' platform.`
		7273
		7274	`* JAVA toolset`
		7275	`Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following`
		7276	`directive:`
		7277
		7278	`includeAntRuntime="off"'`
		7279
		7280	`This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to`
		7281	`the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's`
		7282	`version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.`
		7283
		7284	`* GCC Toolset`
		7285	`Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian`
		7286
		7287	`* Makefile generation`
		7288	`When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS`
		7289	`has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.`
		7290	`Previously JATS would use the package name found within the`
		7291	`descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the`
		7292	`package could not be used.`
		7293
		7294	`* Unit Tests`
		7295	`The following environment variables are set:`
		7296
		7297	`GBE_TYPE - The type of build. Debug or production. This`
		7298	`will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'`
		7299
		7300	`GBE_HOST - The host machine we are running on.`
		7301	`This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'`
		7302
		7303	`These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.`
		7304
		7305	`* New makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		7306
		7307
		7308	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`

		7311	`Major changes:`
		7312	`* New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.`
		7313
		7314	`Special features of this toolset.`
		7315	`1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file`
		7316	`This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be`
		7317	`incorporated within the target image.`
		7318
		7319	`2) Prog directive extensions:`
		7320	`--Set=Name=Value`
		7321	`The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.`
		7322	`This allows the location of program segments to be set`
		7323
		7324	`--Ref=name`
		7325	`The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used`
		7326	`to provide information that will be placed within the`
		7327	`THX header. The version number will be ignored. It`
		7328	`will be taken from the build version number.`
		7329
		7330	`Minor changes:`
		7331	`* MOS Toolset`
		7332	`Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.`
		7333	`Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or`
		7334	`packaged.`
		7335
		7336	`* Src directive`
		7337	`No generates a warning if no source files are located within the`
		7338	`directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform`
		7339	`specifier.`
		7340
		7341	`* WIN32 runtime support`
		7342	`Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.`
		7343	`1) od - dump files in octal and other formats`
		7344	`2) cmp - compare two files byte by byte`
		7345
		7346	`Internal:`
		7347	`Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"`
		7348	`dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program`
		7349	`generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.`
		7350
		7351	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7352	`Version: JATS_2.42.0 Released: 19-Oct-05`
		7353	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7354	`Major changes:`
		7355	`* BuildAlias directive`
		7356	`Added options.`
		7357	`--Define - Does not create implicit platforms`
		7358	`--Target - Redeclares the alais as the list of all`
		7359	`platforms that are based on a given target or`
		7360	`targets.`
		7361	`Eg:`
		7362	`BuildAlias ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );`
		7363	`BuildProduct ( 'GAK', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );`
		7364	`BuildProduct ( 'PCP', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );`
		7365
		7366	`Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's`
		7367	`that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of`
		7368	`'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.`
		7369
		7370	`Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.`
		7371	`The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the`
		7372	`specification of all the LMOS targets.`
		7373
		7374
		7375	`Minor changes:`
		7376	`* Label utility`
		7377	`Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one`
		7378	`build.pl file`
		7379
		7380	`* Package directives. PackageFile.`
		7381	`Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn`
		7382	`needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.`
		7383	`Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the`
		7384	`--FilterIn option.`
		7385
		7386	`* jats release (cbuilder) utility`
		7387	`Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.`
		7388	`The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.`
		7389
		7390	`* Location of descpkg file`
		7391	`All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was`
		7392	`created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it`
		7393	`can be done within any makefile.pl.`
		7394
		7395	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7396	`Version: JATS_2.41.0 Released: 27-Sep-05`
		7397	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7398	`Major changes:`
		7399	`* RunTest directive`
		7400	`Extended the options and operation of RunTest`
		7401	`Additional options`
		7402	`--CopyIn=file`
		7403	`This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before`
		7404	`the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This`
		7405	`allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into`
		7406	`the test area.`
		7407
		7408	`Additional operations`
		7409	`The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of`
		7410	`transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms`
		7411	`--File(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a known file`
		7412	`--Local(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a file that has been Installed`
		7413	`--PackageBase(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a Package`
		7414	`Allows flags:`
		7415	`--dir - directory part of the pathname`
		7416	`--file - file part of the pathname`
		7417	`--abspath - as an absolute path`
		7418	`--absdrive - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)`
		7419
		7420	`Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their`
		7421	`existence is tested.`
		7422
		7423	`* Packaging Directives`
		7424	`Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets`
		7425	`such as LMOS.`
		7426
		7427	`PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');`
		7428

		7435	`* JAVA 1.4 and 1.5`
		7436	`Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify`
		7437	`the version of Java to be used to build a package.`
		7438
		7439	`BuildPlatforms ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );`
		7440
		7441	`The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.`
		7442	`This may not be sutable for all packages.`
		7443
		7444	`Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be`
		7445	`set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:`
		7446
		7447	`JAVA_HOME_1_4`
		7448	`JAVA_HOME_1_5`
		7449
		7450	`Minor changes:`
		7451	`* Script directive`

		7453	`These scripts are now always marked as executable.`
		7454
		7455	`* JATS environment`
		7456	`Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase`
		7457	`COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in`
		7458	`the JATS wrapper script.`
		7459
		7460	`* Label utility`
		7461	`Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.`
		7462	`There are three modes of operation:`
		7463	`1) -nocheckout Checked out files are not labeled`
		7464	`2) -checkout Only checked out files are labeled`

		7478	`* AVR_IAR toolset`
		7479	`Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be`
		7480	`added to a program as it is created. The option is:`
		7481	`--ProgLoader=name`
		7482
		7483	`* Package directives. PackageFile`
		7484	`Added support for packaging of directory trees.`
		7485	`Options to do this are:`
		7486	`--TreeDir=name`
		7487	`--FilterOut=regexp`
		7488	`--FilterIn=regexp`
		7489	`--StripDir`
		7490
		7491	`Only a single directory can be specified.`
		7492	`Multiple filters are allowed.`
		7493	`The directories must be within the current directory. It is not`
		7494	`possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.`
		7495
		7496	`The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.`
		7497	`The filters are regular expressions. Examples:`
		7498
		7499	`'--FilterIn=\.h$' - Select all files ending with .h`
		7500	`'--FilterOut=MyHeader.h' - Except this one`
		7501
		7502	`The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the`
		7503	`files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.`
		7504
		7505
		7506	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7507	`Version: JATS_2.39.0 Released: 14-Sep-05`
		7508	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7509	`Major changes:`
		7510	`* Make commands`
		7511	`Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.`
		7512

		7523	`variables and overrides.`
		7524

		7528
		7529	`* Deployment`
		7530	`Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction`
		7531	`with deployment operations.`
		7532
		7533	`* Release utility`
		7534	`Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.`
		7535	`The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further`
		7536	`restricted by options within the build.`
		7537
		7538	`* PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl`
		7539	`The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a`
		7540	`problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the`
		7541	`list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the`
		7542	`list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.`
		7543
		7544	`Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these`
		7545	`directives.`
		7546
		7547	`* MakeProject directive`
		7548	`If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed`
		7549	`because 'make' stops when a command fails.`
		7550
		7551	`The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the`
		7552	`log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command`
		7553	`is preserved.`
		7554
		7555	`* Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl`
		7556	`Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'`
		7557	`statements.`

		7573	`number.`
		7574
		7575	`Minor changes:`
		7576	`* AddFlags directives`
		7577	`Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of`
		7578	`duplicate flags being added.`
		7579
		7580	`* GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)`
		7581	`Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS`
		7582	`loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.`
		7583
		7584	`* Mug File Generation`
		7585	`Added support to allow load files to include other load files.`
		7586
		7587	`* 'cbuild' or 'release' command`
		7588	`Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the`
		7589	`problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been`
		7590	`labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root`
		7591	`directory.`
		7592
		7593	`The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT`
		7594	`reproducible.`

		7601	`Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.`
		7602	`Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no`
		7603	`longer a list of directories.`
		7604
		7605	`Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now`
		7606	`done within the toolset.`

		7623	`Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various`
		7624	`target platforms to be extracted.`
		7625
		7626	`Better support for Product families. This is only an issue`
		7627	`for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of`
		7628	`libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.`
		7629
		7630	`* Utility: release (cbuilder)`
		7631	`Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests`
		7632	`Units tests will still be run by default.`

		7655	`tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will`
		7656	`be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to`
5710	dpurdie	7657	`the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as`
227	dpurdie	7658	`-- Auto.`
		7659

		7668	`locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.`
		7669
		7670	`* WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6`
		7671	`The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer`

		7673	`indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are`
		7674	`installed on the machine.`
		7675
		7676	`* WINCE Targets`
		7677	`The name of the SDK is case sensitive.`

		7700
		7701	`Minor changes:`

		7713
		7714	`Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is`

		7738
		7739	`Minor changes:`
		7740	`* Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under`
		7741	`windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.`
		7742	`This should not affect current users.`

		7758	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7759	`Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe`

		7762
		7763	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive`
		7764	`Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft`

		7792
		7793	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7794	`Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of`

		7833	`* Support for Windows DLLs`
		7834	`When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is`

		7916	`with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace`
		7917	`If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what`

		7919	`solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.`
		7920
		7921	`* GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl`
		7922	`Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for`
		7923	`embedded brackets. Now allow`

		7942	`to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by`
		7943	`other components.`

		7973	`production.`
		7974

		7998	`The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not`

		8164	`the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to`
		8165	`the build command, will prevent this behaviour.`
		8166
		8167
		8168	`Minor changes:`
		8169	`* create_dpkg utility`
		8170	`Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow`
		8171	`utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that`
		8172	`the package has been altered.`

		8193	`builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.`
		8194
		8195	`The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.`
		8196
		8197	`* Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		8198	`GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles`
		8199	`to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.`
		8200
		8201	`The change allows the construct`
		8202	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS`
		8203	`to be replaced by the simpler`
		8204	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS`

		8247	`Correct two common situations`
		8248	`1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored`

		8250	`ansi, but is often done.`
		8251
		8252	`* GCC toolset`
		8253	`Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not`
		8254	`being created in the correct place.`
		8255
		8256	`* jats "label"`
		8257	`The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not`

		8323
		8324	`* Jats wrapper`

		8327	`further commands.`
		8328

		8339	`* WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions`
		8340	`NoPDB - Disable the generation of PDBs`
		8341	`PDB - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).`
		8342
		8343	`These options operation affect all components within the`

		8352	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8353	`Version: JATS_2.14.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`

		8362
		8363	`* The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the`
		8364	`production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.`

		8366	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8367	`Version: JATS_2.13.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		8368	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8369	`Major changes:`
		8370	`* Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged`
		8371	`the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The`
		8372	`implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can`
		8373	`"installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.`
		8374	`The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as`
		8375	`this is the order in which the libraries will be created and`
		8376	`installed.`
		8377
		8378	`This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared`
		8379	`libraries that depend on each other.`
		8380
		8381	`This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not`
		8382	`generate separate stub libraries to link against.`
		8383
		8384	`Minor changes:`
		8385	`* WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets`
		8386	`Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files`
		8387	`in the "local" and "interface" directory.`
		8388
		8389	`* The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the`
		8390	`first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a`
		8391	`"src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation`
		8392	`of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.`
		8393
		8394	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8395	`Version: JATS_2.12.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		8396	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8397	`Major changes:`
		8398
		8399	`Minor changes:`
		8400	`* Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive`
		8401	`Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction`
		8402	`with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another`
		8403	`file.`
		8404
		8405	`* Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when`
		8406	`a soft link is used to redirect to the package.`
		8407
		8408	`* Win32 and WinCE toolsets`
		8409	`Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.`
		8410	`CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );`
		8411
		8412	`Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of`
		8413	`a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"`
		8414
		8415	`Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries`
		8416	`in the same manner at Shared Libraries.`
		8417
		8418	`* WinCE toolsets`
		8419	`Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve`
		8420	`compiler specific libraries.`
		8421
		8422	`* SOLARIS toolset`
		8423	`Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line`
		8424	`with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with`
		8425	`OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.`
		8426
		8427	`Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared`
		8428	`libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being`
		8429	`cleaned up.`
		8430
		8431	`* Microtec tools set (MOS)`
		8432	`Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args`
		8433
		8434	`* jats_rewriter.pl`
		8435	`Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments`
		8436	`with either " or ' characters.`

		8439	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8440	`Version: JATS_2.11.0 Released: 15-Mar-05`
		8441	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8442	`Major changes:`
		8443	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		8444	`The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area`
		8445	`The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform`
		8446	`specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories`
		8447
		8448	`Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process`
		8449	`of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.`
		8450
		8451	`* Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the`
		8452	`user.`
		8453
		8454	`* MOS Microtec Toolset`
		8455	`Always present an absolute filename to the compiler`
		8456	`Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress`
		8457
		8458	`This will remove error messages about the path being too long`
		8459	`for the -Gf option.`
		8460
		8461	`Minor changes:`
		8462	`* SOLARIS Toolset`
		8463	`Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line`
		8464
		8465	`* Win32 and WinCE Toolset`
		8466	`Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or`
		8467	`the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to`
		8468	`figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.`
		8469
		8470	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8471	`Version: JATS_2.10.0 Released: 11-Mar-05`
		8472	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8473	`Major changes:`
		8474	`* Extended BuildName to accept the form`
		8475	`BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );`
		8476
		8477	`* MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.`
		8478	`Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and`
		8479	`data addresses for the board.`
		8480
		8481	`BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );`
		8482
		8483	`Will set the code,data address for the debugable image`
		8484
		8485	`* Extended the PackageXxxxx options`
		8486	`1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy`
		8487	`Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the`
		8488	`"platform" name. Only useful within the context of the`
		8489	`PackageFile`
		8490
		8491	`2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile`
		8492	`directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the`
		8493	`platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a`
		8494	`suffix. In practice this is the logical use.`
		8495
		8496	`* Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been`
		8497	`discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files`
		8498	`to be installed and packaged.`
		8499
		8500	`Minor changes:`
		8501
		8502	`* cache_dpkg utility`
		8503	`If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache`
		8504	`entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.`
		8505
		8506	`* label utility`
		8507	`New option -auto to create and label`
		8508
		8509	`* Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files`
		8510	`This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names`
		8511
		8512	`* The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument`
		8513	`This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root`
		8514	`directory. ie:`
		8515
		8516	`BuildDirTree ( '', 'pkg' );`
		8517
		8518	`* Fixed DEVIM 00019520`
		8519	`The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to`
		8520	`the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.`
		8521
		8522
		8523	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8524	`Version: JATS_2.9.0 Released: 28-Feb-05`
		8525	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8526	`Major changes:`
		8527	`* First release for Back Office and Front Office use.`
		8528
		8529	`* Added the jats tool jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.`
		8530	`To be used by the nightly build process.`
		8531
		8532	`* Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.`
		8533	`The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the`
		8534	`compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete`
		8535	`the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.`
		8536
		8537	`The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's`
		8538	`interface directory and to remove all temp files before each`
		8539	`compilation.`
		8540
		8541	`This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.`
		8542
		8543	`Minor changes:`
		8544	`* The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if`
		8545	`one is being produced.`
		8546
		8547	`* Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"`
		8548	`option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better`
		8549	`job of cleaning the workspace.`
		8550
		8551	`* Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS`
		8552
		8553	`* Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive`
		8554
		8555	`* Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.`
		8556	`This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.`
		8557
		8558	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8559	`Version: JATS_2.8.0 Released: 17-Feb-05`
		8560	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8561	`Major changes:`
		8562	`* Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be`
		8563	`installed in order for the compilers to work.`
		8564
		8565	`* New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220`
		8566
		8567	`* All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile`
		8568	`This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the`
		8569	`same directory`
		8570
		8571	`* Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag`
		8572	`_DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the`
		8573	`documenattion.`
		8574
		8575	`Minor changes:`
		8576	`* Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings`
		8577	`Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match`
		8578
		8579	`* Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with`
		8580	`spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.`
		8581
		8582	`* Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.`
		8583	`Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB`
		8584
		8585	`* Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display`
		8586	`when the verbose option had not been selected`
		8587
		8588	`* Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files`
		8589	`would prevent the execution of the command. This command should`
		8590	`be exempt from this test.`
		8591
		8592	`* Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE`
		8593	`platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.`
		8594
		8595	`* The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build`
		8596	`clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.`
		8597
		8598	`Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be`
		8599	`removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"`
		8600	`does.`
		8601
		8602	`* The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will`
		8603	`not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.`
		8604
		8605
		8606	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8607	`Version: JATS_2.7.0 Released: 09-Feb-05`

		8609	`Major changes:`
		8610	`* First release with support for the DAFBR compiler`
		8611
		8612	`* Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:`
		8613	`--Interface - Pull lib from Interface directory`
		8614	`--Local - Pull lib from Local directory (default)`
		8615	`--SubDir=pathname - Pull lib from a subdirectory`
		8616	`Note: xxxx,pathname still works`
		8617
		8618	`* Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling`
		8619	`operations.`
		8620
		8621	`* Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.`

		8625	`Minor changes`
		8626	`* Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to`
		8627	`be run in a controlled environment from the command line.`
		8628
		8629	`* Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various`
		8630	`toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the`
		8631	`directory is not added to the library path.`
		8632
		8633	`Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will`
		8634	`not add the xxxx/lib to the path.`
		8635
		8636	`* cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.`
		8637	`The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search`
		8638	`first in an attempt to speed up the process.`
		8639
		8640	`* The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not`
		8641	`begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler`
		8642	`specific flags.`
		8643
		8644	`* The use of linker flags will issue a warning.`
		8645
		8646	`* Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been`
		8647	`determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions`
		8648	`such they are available to the common makefile.pl.`
		8649
		8650	`* Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify`
		8651	`a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of`
		8652	`JATS.`
		8653
		8654	`* Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that`
		8655	`caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.`
		8656
		8657	`* The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS`
		8658	`projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full`
		8659	`pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.`
		8660
		8661	`* The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to`
		8662	`the initial DLL or EXE.`
		8663
		8664	`* Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may`
		8665	`fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created`
		8666	`since the "generate" phase was not being run.`
		8667
		8668	`Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated`
		8669	`and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive`
		8670
		8671	`* JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.`
		8672
		8673	`* The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.`
		8674	`Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.`
		8675
		8676	`* Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if`
		8677	`the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's`
		8678	`objects.`
		8679
		8680	`* Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make`
		8681	`command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in`
		8682	`that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always`
		8683	`build defendants.`
