		2184	`* New build target: UBUNTU12`
		2185	`This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not`
		2186	`intended to build deployed software.`
		2187
		2188	`UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in`

		2195	`* Jats wrapper script`
		2196	`The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that`

		2198	`Subversion instance of the command.`
		2199
		2200	`This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to`

		2774	`as the main binary.`
		2775
		2776	`This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while`
		2777	`retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded`
		2778	`device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the`

		3552	`These options will now label the directory elements within the paths`
		3553	`specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.`
		3554	`This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.`
		3555
		3556	`Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels`

		3569	`Example:`
		3570	`CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );`
		3571
		3572	`* Solaris targets`
		3573	`Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32`
		3574	`It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only`
		3575	`available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one`
		3576	`machine type.`

		3584	`project files.`
		3585
		3586	`* Build Directive BuildVersion.`

		3600
		3601	`* Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds`
		3602	`All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)`
		3603	`This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared`

		3605
		3606	`* Solaris builds`
		3607	`Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before`
		3608	`the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing`

		3688
313	dpurdie	3689	`* Perl Modules`
		3690	`Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS`

		3710
		3711	`Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that`

		3715	`* Jats core`
		3716	`Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow`

		3729
309	dpurdie	3730	`The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered`
307	dpurdie	3731	`in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile`
309	dpurdie	3732	`to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.`
307	dpurdie	3733

		3776
		3777	`* MOS builds`

		3840	`this occurs.`
		3841
		3842	`* The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.`
		3843	`This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'`

		3928
		3929	`See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options`
		3930	`to the Prog and SharedLib directives.`
		3931
		3932	`This toolset has a number of limitations:`
		3933	`1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single`
		3934	`makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library`
		3935	`names cannot be changed.`
		3936
		3937	`2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated`
		3938	`artifacts is very simplistic.`
		3939
		3940	`Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the`
		3941	`name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.`
		3942	`ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );`
		3943	`Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'`
		3944
		3945	`Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk`
		3946	`file.`
		3947	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyPackage' );`
		3948	`will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file`
		3949	`MyPackage.dpk.`
		3950
		3951	`Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr`
		3952	`file.`
		3953	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyDll' );`
		3954	`will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file`
		3955	`MyDll.dpr.`
		3956
		3957	`Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr`
		3958	`file.`
		3959	`ie: Prog ( '*', 'MyProg' );`
		3960	`will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file`
		3961	`MyProg.dpr.`
		3962
		3963	`Minor changes:`
		3964	`* New EnvVar: DELPHI7`
		3965	`Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the`

		3968
		3969	`* BuildVersion directive`
		3970	`Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information`
		3971	`in a Delphi Unit.`
		3972
		3973	`Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.`
		3974	`If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files`
		3975	`will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will`
		3976	`'know' the location of the files.`
		3977
		3978	`* Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs`
		3979	`Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.`
		3980
		3981	`Internal Changes:`
		3982	`* ToolsetSHLD functions`
		3983	`Pass in the shared library version string as an argument`
		3984	`Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner`
		3985	`that is decoupled from the toolsets.`
		3986
		3987	`* Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries`
		3988	`merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets`
		3989	`and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.`

		5021	`Version: 2.72.00000.cr Released: 11-Jan-08`
		5022	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5023	`Major changes:`
229	dpurdie	5024	`* Jats Release Mechanism`
		5025	`Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its`
		5026	`internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be`
		5027	`released using the 'standard' mechanism.`
		5028
		5029	`Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.`
		5030
		5031	`A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align`

		5033
		5034	`* Running Jats`
		5035	`Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.`

		5045	`* Perl Version Check`
		5046	`Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer`
		5047	`than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward`
		5048	`compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.`
		5049
		5050	`* Build Directive: BuildVersion`
		5051	`This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'`

		5053	`build.`
		5054
		5055	`* Jats Internals`

		5057	`Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.`
		5058
		5059	`* Jats Tool: CCbc2`
		5060	`Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two`
		5061	`packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views`
		5062	`and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the`
		5063	`process.`
		5064
		5065	`Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.`
		5066	`Only works under Windows.`

		5068	`Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.`
		5069

		5073	`* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat`
		5074	`Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported`
		5075	`into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.`
		5076
		5077	`* Jats eprog`
		5078	`Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current`
		5079	`directory.`

		5091	`* Jats Tool: create_dpkg`
		5092	`Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and`
		5093	`version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the`

		5095	`-pname=Package_Name`
		5096	`-pversion=Package_Version`
		5097
		5098	`Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without`

		5100	`-test`
		5101
		5102	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`

		5108
		5109	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5110	`Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared`
		5111	`libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable`
		5112	`programs are still supported.`

		5117	`Major changes:`
		5118
		5119	`Minor changes:`
		5120	`* WINCE toolsets`
		5121	`Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset`
		5122	`This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been`
		5123	`installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers`
		5124	`when header files cannot be found.`
		5125
		5126	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5127	`If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make`
		5128	`it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames`
		5129	`that are difficult to solve.`
		5130
		5131	`* MakePerlModule directive`
		5132	`Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed`
		5133	`to the the module builder.`

		5138	`-dirs=xxx options.`
		5139
		5140	`* Jats Tool: release`
		5141	`Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the`
		5142	`build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.`
		5143
		5144	`Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be`
		5145	`used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.`
		5146
		5147	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`
		5148	`Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be`
		5149	`uploaded to CodeStriker.`
		5150
		5151	`Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.`

		5196	`Minor changes:`
		5197	`* Makefile generation`

		5234	`available within the current build.`
		5235
		5236	`* jats makefiles`

		5238	`MakefileGenerate() directive are found.`
		5239
		5240	`If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.`
		5241	`pl, then it will be ignored.`
		5242
		5243	`* gcc toolset`
		5244	`SharedLibries.`

		5260	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5261	`Version: 2.71.1.cr Released: 16-Oct-07`
		5262	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5263	`Major changes:`
		5264
		5265	`Minor changes:`
		5266	`PackageLib directive`
		5267	`The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.`
		5268	`Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.`
		5269	`Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.`
		5270
		5271	`MakefileGenerate directive`
		5272	`This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,`
		5273	`and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.`
		5274
		5275	`Multiple Parent detection`
		5276	`A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the`
		5277	`build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is`
		5278	`normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this`
		5279	`condition will be treated as a warning.`
		5280
		5281	`Solaris Toolset`
		5282	`Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.`
		5283	`When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will`
		5284	`cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the`
		5285	`link.`
		5286
		5287	`Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the`
		5288	`misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an`
		5289	`indication that this is a bad thing to do.`
		5290
		5291	`Make and generation of subdirectories`
		5292	`Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.`
		5293	`This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency`
		5294	`file.`
		5295
		5296	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5297	`Version: 2.71.0.cr Released: 10-Oct-07`
		5298	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5299	`Major changes:`
		5300	`Makefile generation and make recursion`
		5301	`Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by`
		5302	`which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.`
		5303
		5304	`Summary of changes:`
		5305	`- Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories`
		5306	`and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program that performs`
		5307	`the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for`
		5308	`flexibility.`
		5309
		5310	`The user interface remains identical: jats make ....`
		5311
		5312	`- Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text`
		5313	`file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the`
		5314	`interface directory and associated build information.`
		5315
		5316	`- Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.`
		5317	`On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less`
		5318	`than one second.`
		5319
		5320	`- Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent`
		5321	`building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for`
		5322	`each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every`
		5323	`makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity`
		5324	`testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the`
		5325	`toolset. It is an expensive operation.`
		5326
		5327	`- Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism`
		5328	`for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,`
		5329	`rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.`
		5330
		5331	`- Better makefile rebuilding`
		5332	`Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to`
		5333	`detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-`
		5334	`building them.`
		5335
		5336	`- Detection of build file changes`
		5337	`The make process will detect that the build file has been modified`
		5338	`and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It`
		5339	`does not prevent the 'make' operation.`
		5340
		5341	`- Quieter make output`
		5342	`The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.`
		5343
		5344
		5345	`Minor changes:`
		5346	`MakeAnt Directive`
		5347	`Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5`
		5348
		5349	`JATS command "debug" and "prod"`
		5350	`These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:`
		5351	`jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args`
		5352	`Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution`
		5353	`display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.`
		5354
		5355	`CSHARP toolset`
		5356	`Correctly detect missing compiler directories`

		5366
		5367	`MakeAnt`
		5368	`If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.`
		5369	`Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.`
		5370	`This is done through a better startup of ANT using the`
		5371	`org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.`
		5372

		5450	`Minor changes:`
		5451	`* Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path`
		5452	`Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.`
		5453
		5454	`Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new`
		5455	`AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched`
		5456	`last.`
		5457
		5458	`For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:`
		5459
		5460	`1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl`
		5461	`or within any such directive with the --Local option`

		5463	`2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with`

		5483	`Major changes:`
		5484
		5485	`Minor changes:`
		5486	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5487	`Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the`
		5488	`dependent packages.`
		5489
		5490	`* RunTest operation`
		5491	`Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.`

		5496	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5497	`Version: JATS_2.68.0 Released: 20-Aug-07`
		5498	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5499	`Major changes:`
		5500	`* Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)`
		5501
		5502	`It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and`
		5503	`javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was`
		5504	`normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages`
		5505	`were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search`
		5506	`path.`
		5507
		5508	`JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt`
		5509	`directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and`
		5510	`reproducible.`
		5511
		5512	`This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.`
		5513	`This is better than building incorrectly.`
		5514
		5515	`There are several aspects to the change`
		5516	`1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If`
		5517	`the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the`
		5518	`PATH then these will be used and report an error.`
		5519
		5520	`2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build`
		5521	`Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.`
		5522	`Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is`
		5523	`controlled separately.`
		5524
		5525	`Minor changes:`
		5526	`* Sanitize the PATH environment variable`
		5527	`Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched`
		5528	`Remove duplicates`
		5529	`Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH`
		5530
		5531	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5532	`Version: JATS_2.67.1 Released: 17-Aug-07`
		5533	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5534	`Major changes:`
		5535
		5536	`Minor changes:`
		5537	`* Makefile sanity test`
		5538	`Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are`
		5539	`not then run on a machine of a different type.`
		5540
		5541	`This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-`
		5542	`x86 machine.`
		5543
		5544	`* Correct bug in RunTest`
		5545	`RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory`
		5546
		5547	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5548	`Version: JATS_2.67.0 Released: 13-Aug-07`
		5549	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5550	`Major changes:`
		5551	`* RunTest directive`
		5552	`Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the`
		5553	`CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing`
		5554	`toolset specific test frameworks has been added.`
		5555
		5556	`Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.`
		5557	`The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option`
		5558	`--FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program`
		5559	`under test will be passed to the framework. program.`
		5560
		5561	`If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework`
		5562	`builder within the current toolset.`
		5563
		5564	`When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:`
		5565	`'--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.`
		5566
		5567	`With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit`
		5568	`will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile`
		5569	`containing the RunTest directive.`
		5570
		5571	`The Nunit Framework supports the following options:`
		5572	`--Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+`
		5573
		5574	`This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will`
		5575	`be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external`
		5576	`package or the components 'local' lib directory.`
		5577
		5578	`SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:`
		5579	`--NonJats This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a`
		5580	`P or D suffix.`
		5581	`--Jats (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will`
		5582	`select the correct library type for this build.`
		5583
		5584	`Minor changes:`
		5585	`* New Cache cleanup mechanism`
		5586	`When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within`
		5587	`the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to`
		5588	`the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are`
		5589	`frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.`
		5590
		5591	`* Save Build Utility`
		5592	`This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file`
		5593	`used in a ripple build.`
		5594
		5595	`The utility has been enhanced to detect a reserved checkout of the`
		5596	`build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.`
		5597
		5598	`* Release Utility`
		5599	`The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked`
		5600	`when an error is encountered.`
		5601
		5602	`This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be`
		5603	`unlocked if a build error occurs.`
		5604
		5605	`* Jats caching local copy of itself`
		5606	`Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message`
		5607	`being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.`
		5608
		5609	`* Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step`
		5610	`before the makefiles are created.`
		5611
		5612	`* TestProg directive`
		5613	`TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs`
		5614
		5615	`* Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with`
		5616	`a 'space' or '$' in the file name.`
		5617

		5620	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5621	`Major changes:`
		5622	`* New build target`
		5623	`LINUX_ETX - Support for Linux on an ETX board`
		5624	`LMOS_LINUX_ETX - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target`

		5627	`DEVLINUX`
		5628	`LMOS_DEVLINUX`

		5632	`transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.`
		5633
		5634	`Minor changes:`
		5635	`* Added utility class to provide directory searching`

		5639	`Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs`
		5640
		5641	`Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx`
		5642	`and .cs files.`
		5643
		5644	`Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right`
		5645	`thing.`
		5646
		5647	`* Microtec ColdFire compiler`
		5648	`Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a`
		5649	`local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control`
		5650	`were it places temp files.`
		5651
		5652	`Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected`
		5653	`interaction with other builds.`
		5654
		5655	`* Release utility command`
		5656	`Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create`
		5657	`multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique`
		5658	`component in the clearcase tag name.`

		5747	`Major changes:`
		5748	`* Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended`

		5750	`the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.`
		5751
		5752	`* GenerateFiles`
		5753	`Added the options:`
		5754	`--UnknownPreq - Will force the recipe to be run every time`

		5758
		5759	`--AutoGenerate - Will not force the recipe to be run during the`

		5834	`* Building Linux Device Drivers`
		5835	`The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.`
		5836	`Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide`
		5837	`the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be`
		5838	`used for different targets platforms.`

		5851	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5852	`Major changes:`
		5853	`* MakeAnt directive`
		5854	`Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.`
		5855
		5856	`New options`
		5857	`--AutoTest=<target> # Run as Automated unit test`
		5858	`--UnitTest=<target> # Run as Unit test`
		5859
		5860	`This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the`
		5861	`run_unit_tests phase.`
		5862
		5863	`* Sandbox support`
		5864	`Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox`
		5865	`Will remain undocumented until fully implemented`
		5866
		5867	`Minor changes:`
		5868	`* jats build`
		5869	`Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of`
		5870	`platforms that will be 'built'.`
		5871
		5872	`This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		5873
		5874	`This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is`
		5875	`available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific`
		5876	`platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600`
		5877
		5878	`* AVR_IAR Toolset`
		5879	`Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.`
		5880
		5881	`* JATS.BAT`
		5882	`Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that`
		5883	`the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both`
		5884	`the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.`
		5885

		5891	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5892	`Major changes:`
		5893	`* New build platform:`
		5894	`LMOS_TP5600`
		5895	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI`
		5896	`LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5897
		5898	`LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600`
		5899	`supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to`
		5900	`describe the group of platforms.`
		5901
		5902	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5903	`These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to`
		5904	`build these targets.`
		5905
		5906	`The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,`
		5907	`where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.`
		5908
		5909	`The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,`
		5910	`where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.`
		5911
		5912	`* New build platform: WINCE`
		5913	`This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.`
		5914	`Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for`
		5915	`consumption on all WINCE machines.`
		5916
		5917	`The current list of WINCE targets is:`
		5918	`WCEIT3000`
		5919	`WCEPA961`
		5920	`WCEPA962`
		5921	`WCEPCM7220`

		5927	`WCEX86A500_SOM4455`
		5928
		5929	`The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.`
		5930
		5931	`* JATS makefile.pl`
		5932	`The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles`
		5933	`that contain packaging directives.`
		5934
		5935	`There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in`
		5936	`very unusual configurations.`
		5937
		5938	`Minor changes:`
		5939	`* Directive: PackageFile`
		5940	`Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming`
		5941	`conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain`
		5942	`an '='.`
		5943
		5944	`Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead`
		5945	`of "--Subdir=etc".`
		5946
		5947	`* JATS Internal utility: cmdfile`
		5948	`Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that`
		5949	`provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.`
		5950
		5951	`This version will display the library search path with one item per line,`
		5952	`rather than all items on one, very long, line.`

		5954	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5955	`Version: JATS_2.63.0 Released: 5-Apr-07`
		5956	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5957	`Major changes:`
		5958
		5959	`* JATS release command`
		5960	`Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is`
		5961	`specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.`
		5962
		5963	`Rules are:`
		5964	`Modify a file: File will branch`
		5965	`Adding a file: Containing directory will not branch`
		5966	`File will be placed on a branch`
		5967	`Add a directory: Containing directory will not branch`
		5968	`New directory will branch`
		5969
		5970	`Minor changes:`
		5971	`* JATS release command`
		5972	`Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the`
		5973	`user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.`
		5974
		5975	`* JATS label command`
		5976	`Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label`
		5977	`is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.`
		5978
		5979	`* JATS make`
		5980	`Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and`
		5981	`Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package`
		5982	`was re-packaged.`
		5983
		5984	`* JATS escrow`
		5985	`Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.`
		5986	`Use jats escrow -help for details`
		5987
		5988	`* makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt`
		5989	`This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java`
		5990	`packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.`
		5991
		5992	`This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in`
		5993	`packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the`
		5994	`interface directory.`
		5995
		5996	`* build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive`
		5997	`Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.`
		5998	`Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'`
		5999	`directory as seen by the package.`
		6000
		6001	`Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10`
		6002
		6003	`* JAVA 6`
		6004	`JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y`
		6005	`environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.`
		6006
		6007	`The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5`
		6008	`and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.`
		6009
		6010	`The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables`
		6011
		6012	`* Jats command: vars`
		6013	`Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory`
		6014	`These indicate potential problems.`
		6015
		6016	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6017	`Version: JATS_2.62.4 Released: 20-Mar-07`
		6018	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6019	`Major changes:`
		6020	`* JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)`
		6021	`When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned`
		6022	`libarry is also created.`
		6023
		6024	`Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical`
		6025	`copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is`
		6026	`'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two`
		6027	`files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)`
		6028	`The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug`
		6029	`information contained within the file.`
		6030
		6031	`This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',`
		6032	`'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.`
		6033
		6034	`The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used`
		6035	`within the build environment and dpkg_archive.`
		6036
		6037	`* Building Perl Modules`
		6038	`Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the`
		6039	`documentation on the build machine.`
		6040
		6041	`Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.`
		6042
		6043	`Minor changes:`
		6044	`* jats create_dpkg`
		6045	`Added an option to create a built.generic file`
		6046	`This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.`
		6047
		6048	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6049	`Version: JATS_2.62.3 Released: 28-Feb-07`
		6050	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6051	`Major changes:`
		6052	`* JATS JAVA build target`
		6053	`The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the`
		6054	`default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.`
		6055
		6056	`Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar`
		6057	`JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.`
		6058	`Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this`
		6059	`is then picked up as the default version.`
		6060
		6061	`If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the`
		6062	`build.pl file.`
		6063
		6064	`Minor changes:`
		6065	`* jats release`
		6066	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH`
		6067	`Issue an error if it cannot be found.`
		6068	`This error indicates bad DevEnv setup`
		6069
		6070	`Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.`
		6071	`Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify`
		6072	`the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,`
		6073	`based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change`
		6074	`the name of the view.`
		6075
		6076	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		6077	`Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.`
		6078
		6079	`* MOS Toolset`
		6080	`When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly`
		6081	`used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set`
		6082	`up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization`
		6083
		6084	`Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );`
		6085

		6088	`Version: JATS_2.62.2 Released: 15-Feb-07`
		6089	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6090	`Major changes:`
		6091
		6092	`Minor changes:`
		6093	`* JATS environment`
		6094	`Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH`
		6095	`environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities`
		6096	`that are located in the Perl bin directory.`
		6097
		6098	`Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html`
		6099
		6100	`* Use of GENERIC platforms`
		6101	`Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform`
		6102	`specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because`
		6103	`they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need`
		6104	`to be packaged.`
		6105
		6106	`* Generated makefiles`
		6107	`Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.`
		6108
		6109	`* Generating MOS THX files`
		6110	`Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX`
		6111	`files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.`
		6112	`This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.`
		6113
		6114	`SharedLib ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );`
		6115
		6116	`* JATS release`
		6117	`Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix`
		6118
		6119	`* JATS extract`
		6120	`New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'`
		6121
		6122	`* JATS Toolset`
		6123	`Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)`
		6124	`This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK`
		6125
		6126
		6127	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6128	`Version: JATS_2.62.1 Released: 18-Jan-07`
		6129	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6130	`Major changes:`
		6131
		6132	`Minor changes:`
		6133	`* jats label`
		6134	`Added a -vob=name option`
		6135	`This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete`
		6136	`labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option`
		6137	`cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.`
		6138	`It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.`
		6139
		6140	`Added a -user=name option`
		6141	`This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the`
		6142	`label to the named user.`
		6143
		6144	`* jats release`
		6145	`Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner`
		6146	`Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.`
		6147
		6148	`* JATS build.pl`
		6149	`BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.`
		6150	`ie:`
		6151	`BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');`
		6152

		6154	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6155	`Version: JATS_2.62.0 Released: 22-Dec-06`
		6156	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6157	`Major changes:`
		6158	`* GenerateFiles and RunTest directives`
		6159	`These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile`
		6160	`values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of`
		6161	`the makefile internals. ie:`
		6162	`--Var(BuildName)`
		6163	`will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)`
		6164	`-BuildName=MyPackage`
		6165
		6166	`The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.`
		6167
		6168	`* GenerateFiles`
		6169	`Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase`
		6170	`This allows external scripts to cleanup.`
		6171
		6172	`* BuildPlatforms`
		6173	`Restored operation of the --Uses option`
		6174
		6175	`Minor changes:`
		6176	`* GCC Toolset`
		6177	`Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages`
		6178
		6179	`Internal changes:`
		6180	`* GenerateFiles`
		6181	`Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.`
		6182
		6183	`--Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an`
		6184	`external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.`
		6185
		6186
		6187	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6188	`Version: JATS_2.61.3 Released: 14-Dec-06`
		6189	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6190	`Major changes:`
		6191	`* Caching JATS`
		6192	`Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local`
		6193	`drive. This is applicable to windows.`
		6194
		6195	`This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in`
		6196	`dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of`
		6197	`then using JATS across a slow(network) link.`
		6198
		6199	`The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.`
		6200	`Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be`
		6201	`effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.`
		6202
		6203	`Use: Build Machines and Windows Users`
		6204
		6205	`Minor changes:`
		6206	`* Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option`
		6207	`Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:`
		6208	`TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.`
		6209
		6210	`* jats build`
		6211	`If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache`
		6212	`packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package`
		6213	`processed by the build.`
		6214
		6215	`* jats build`
		6216	`Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the`
		6217	`makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating`
		6218	`makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error`
		6219	`message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users`
		6220	`from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.`
		6221
		6222	`* PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr`
		6223	`Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the`
		6224	`Path is not specified.`
		6225
		6226	`Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in`
		6227	`conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a`
		6228	`package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified`
		6229	`--Dir=$Pinc`
		6230	`but $Pinc is not defined.`
		6231
		6232	`* Purify and Purecov under Windows`
		6233	`Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the`
		6234	`Windows platform.`
		6235
		6236	`- OPTIONS=purecov`
		6237	`Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required`
		6238	`by 'purecov.`
		6239
		6240	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		6241	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows`
		6242
		6243	`- OPTIONS=purify`
		6244	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		6245	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.`
		6246	`Under WIndows this option does nothing.`

		6251	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6252	`Major changes:`
		6253	`* makefile.pl directive Platform`
		6254	`This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation`
		6255	`Example:`
		6256	`Platform ('!MOSCF');`
		6257	`Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF`
		6258	`This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');`
		6259
		6260	`Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have`
		6261	`been determined.`
		6262
		6263	`Minor changes:`
		6264	`* Added the ScanList directive.`
		6265	`This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be`
		6266	`located at build-time.`
		6267
		6268	`* Unix based systems`
		6269	`If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be`
		6270	`generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.`
		6271
		6272	`* MakeLinuxDriver`
		6273	`Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the`
		6274	`driver being built.`

		6476	`Version: JATS_2.56.2 Released: 28-Aug-06`
		6477	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6478	`Major changes:`
		6479
		6480	`Minor changes:`
		6481	`* WIN32 and WINCE toolsets`
		6482	`SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'`

		6518	`* Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64`
		6519	`Initial release.`
		6520
		6521	`* Packaging directives`
		6522	`Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into`
		6523	`a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.`
		6524
		6525	`Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on`
		6526	`SOLARIS`
		6527	`WIN32`
		6528
		6529	`* Removal of support for badly formed packages`
		6530	`As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory`
		6531	`will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect`
		6532	`directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose`
		6533	`of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,`
		6534	`solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).`
		6535
		6536	`* Build Platform target name expansion facility`
		6537	`The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They`
		6538	`will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .`
		6539
		6540
		6541	`Minor changes:`

		6544	`Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.`
		6545
		6546	`* Utility: JATS RELEASE`
		6547	`Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given`
		6548	`location`
		6549
		6550	`Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for`
		6551	`controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx`
		6552
		6553	`* Utility genrc`
		6554	`Added the company name to the copyright string`
		6555
		6556	`* Utility: jats_save_build`
		6557	`Added option: -new`
		6558	`This option forces the saved file only a new branch.`
		6559	`The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific`
		6560	`branch. Useful when branching an entire release.`
		6561
		6562	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6563	`Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.`
		6564	`Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.`
		6565
		6566	`* Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir`
		6567	`These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for`
		6568	`migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.`
		6569
		6570	`The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl`
		6571	`features - in a uniform manner.`
		6572
		6573
		6574	`Internal Changes:`
		6575	`* Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts`
		6576	`directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.`
		6577
		6578	`Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:`
		6579	`1) Platform information available at build time`
		6580	`2) Dynamic platform names`
		6581
		6582	`* Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform`
		6583	`The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the`
		6584	`machine on which the platform is invoked.`
		6585
		6586	`Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into`
		6587	`configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the`
		6588	`SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.`
		6589
		6590	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6591	`Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32`
		6592	`platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer`
		6593	`needed.`
		6594
		6595	`A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be`
		6596	`located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change`
		6597	`should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle`
		6598	`files from all of these.`

		6610	`Version: JATS_2.55.0 Released: 3-Aug-06`
		6611	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6612	`Major changes:`
		6613	`* Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used`
		6614	`Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of`
		6615	`JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.`
		6616
		6617	`The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.`
		6618
		6619	`JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up`
		6620	`the operations.`
		6621
		6622	`The version option MUST be the first option.`
		6623
		6624	`The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.`
		6625	`This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.`
		6626
		6627	`Example: jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build`
		6628
		6629	`* Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script`
		6630	`and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.`
		6631
		6632	`* Utility: create_dpkg`
		6633	`Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts`
		6634	`Extended the built-in help`

		6636	`Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism`
		6637

		6639	`Added support for the WCEPA962 target.`
		6640
		6641	`* M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware`

		6643	`are used in the creation of bootstraps.`
		6644
		6645	`Minor changes:`
		6646	`* JATS wrapper script`
		6647	`Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from`
		6648	`the command line.`
		6649
		6650	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6651	`Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the`
		6652	`ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.`
		6653
		6654	`Internal Changes:`
		6655	`* Common Error Reporting`
		6656	`Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels`
		6657	`for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars`
		6658	`of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE`
		6659	`level.`
		6660
		6661	`Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is`
		6662	`displayed.`
		6663
		6664	`Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.`
		6665

		6703	`builds.`
		6704
		6705	`* JATS Core`
		6706	`Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an`
		6707	`auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their`
		6708	`behaviour.`

		6710	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6711	`Version: JATS_2.54.0 Released: 22-Jun-06`

		6713	`Major changes:`
		6714	`* Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.`
		6715	`Deployment package will be affected.`
		6716
		6717	`The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment`
		6718	`support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:`
		6719
		6720	`BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );`
		6721
		6722	`This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided`
		6723	`by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start`
		6724	`of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield`
		6725	`packages.`
		6726
		6727	`* Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS`
		6728	`The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex`
		6729	`and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.`
		6730
		6731	`This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'`
		6732	`the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'`
		6733
		6734	`Minor changes:`
		6735	`* SubDir directive`
		6736	`Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies`
		6737	`a directory from two different makefiles.`
		6738
		6739	`* Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend`
		6740	`If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated`
		6741	`dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence`
		6742	`of the file usage.`
		6743
		6744	`* New utility: jats_manifest`
		6745	`Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.`
		6746	`Beta Release: Windows only at the moment`
		6747
		6748	`* Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc`
		6749	`The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries`
		6750	`generated within the build and have been installed locally.`
		6751
		6752	`* Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script`
		6753	`This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.`
		6754	`In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and`
		6755	`will execute a JATS extended command.`
		6756
		6757
		6758	`Internal Changes:`
		6759	`* Code refactor`
		6760	`Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.`
		6761
		6762	`* Deployment utilities`
		6763	`The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file`
		6764	`Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.`
		6765	`The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and`
		6766	`the module can locate the file.`
		6767
		6768	`Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate`
		6769	`the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.`
		6770
		6771	`* JATS core`
		6772	`Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.`
		6773
		6774	`Better parsing of descpkg files.`
		6775
		6776	`* JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm`
		6777	`Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs`
		6778	`through the use of environment variables.`
		6779
		6780	`A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment`
		6781	`variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.`
		6782
		6783	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6784	`Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:`
		6785	`deployfiles - as used by the deployment system`
		6786	`tools/scripts - as used by perl based extensions`
		6787
		6788	`* Make environment`
		6789	`Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to`
		6790	`include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.`
		6791
		6792
		6793	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6794	`Version: JATS_2.53.2 Released: 13-Jun-06`
		6795	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6796	`Major changes:`
		6797	`* Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)`
		6798	`Added support for SILENT_MODE`
		6799
		6800
		6801	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6802	`Version: JATS_2.53.1 Released: Not release`
		6803	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6804
		6805	`Not Released.`
		6806	`This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis`
		6807	`for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.`
		6808
		6809
		6810	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6811	`Version: JATS_2.53.0 Released: 11-Apr-06`
		6812	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6813	`Major changes:`
		6814	`* Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access`
		6815	`The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been`
		6816	`radically replaced.`
		6817
		6818	`A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.`
		6819	`Usage:`
		6820	`jats etool test_rmconnection`
		6821
		6822	`The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle`
		6823	`Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with`
		6824	`this solution:`
		6825	`- Required the installation of two Perl Modules`
		6826	`- Required the installation of an Oracle client`
		6827	`- Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris`
		6828	`- Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline`
		6829
		6830	`The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin`
		6831	`client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in`
		6832	`order to work.`
		6833
		6834	`JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but`
		6835	`reduced functionality.`
		6836
		6837
		6838	`Minor changes:`
		6839	`* makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		6840	`Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.`
		6841	`This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.`
		6842
		6843	`* makefile.pl directive: SetList`
		6844	`Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists`
		6845	`within the makefiles.`
		6846	`Options:`
		6847	`--NoWarn Disable name clash warnings`
		6848	`--Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+ Add to list in selected projects`
		6849	`--Unique Add only if not already present`
		6850	`--Clear Clear list, before adding new items`
		6851	`--Append Append items to list (default)`
		6852	`-- Disable/Enable option parsing`
		6853	`Useage:`
		6854
		6855	`SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');`
		6856	`SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );`
		6857
		6858	`* Makefile.pl directive: RunTest`
		6859	`Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file`
		6860	`is not in the current directory.`
		6861
		6862	`* Jats Command: ant'`
		6863	`This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option`
		6864	`to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.`
		6865
		6866	`eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant`
		6867
		6868	`* TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support`
		6869	`Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next`
		6870	`generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version`
		6871	`of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr`
		6872
		6873	`* Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh`
		6874	`Added provision to process user command arguments.`
		6875	`Thus`
		6876
		6877	`set_WIN32.bat prog`
		6878
		6879	`will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog`
		6880

		6882	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6883	`Version: JATS_2.52.2 Released: 30-Mar-06`
		6884	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6885	`Major changes:`
		6886
		6887	`Minor changes:`
		6888	`* Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.`
		6889	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be`
		6890	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project`
		6891	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6892	`$(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always`
		6893
		6894	`* m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware`
		6895	`Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are`
		6896	`created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.`
		6897
		6898	`Internal changes:`
		6899	`* JATS toolsets`
		6900	`Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created`
		6901	`as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a`
		6902	`number of files, some which may be packaged.`
		6903
		6904	`Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now`
		6905	`they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.`
		6906
		6907	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6908	`Version: JATS_2.52.1 Released: 29-Mar-06`
		6909	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6910	`Major changes:`
		6911	`* Jats command: etool`
		6912	`Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment`
		6913	`tools to use the JATS core perl modules.`
		6914
		6915	`* Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer`
		6916	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be`
		6917	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt`
		6918	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6919	`$(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always`
		6920	`$ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always`
		6921
		6922	`Minor changes:`
		6923
		6924
		6925	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6926	`Version: JATS_2.52.0 Released: 27-Mar-06`
		6927	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6928	`Major changes:`
		6929	`* JATS environment variables`
		6930	`Added GBE_DPKG_STORE`
		6931	`Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow`
		6932	`read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be`
		6933	`searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,`
		6934	`will not publish packages in this repository.`
		6935
		6936	`Uses: Seed repository for a complete build`
		6937	`Remote repository`
		6938
		6939	`Added GBE_DPLY`
		6940	`Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the`
		6941	`placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.`
		6942
		6943	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6944	`Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.`
		6945	`Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This`
		6946	`created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by`
		6947	`the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.`
		6948
		6949	`The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be`
		6950	`processed once and it will be processed last.`
		6951
		6952
		6953	`Minor changes:`
		6954	`* JATS utility: build`
		6955	`* JATS utility: cache_dpkg`
		6956	`Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within`
		6957	`GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.`
		6958
		6959	`* JATS utility: gen_cots`
		6960	`Ensure label is not locked`
		6961	`Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package`
		6962	`that already exists in dpkg_archive.`
		6963
		6964	`* JATS directive: PackageFile`
		6965	`Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process`
		6966	`to a specific type of build.`
		6967
		6968	`* JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests`
		6969	`Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information`
		6970	`to be extracted and passed to generator programs.`
		6971	`ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)`
		6972
		6973	`Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as`
		6974	`sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.`
		6975	`ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)`
		6976
		6977	`* JATS utility: release`
		6978	`Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have`
		6979	`been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.`
		6980
		6981	`* JATS utility: label`
		6982	`Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,`
		6983	`when it is being created.`
		6984
		6985	`Internal Changes`
		6986	`* JATS utility: create_dpkg`
		6987	`Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.`
		6988
		6989	`Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use`
		6990	`to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.`
		6991
		6992	`* Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive`
		6993	`This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting`
		6994	`different results.`
		6995
		6996	`* ToolsetRequire directive`
		6997	`This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within`
		6998	`packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory`
		6999
		7000	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7001	`Version: JATS_2.51.0 Released: 15-Mar-06`
		7002	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7003	`Major changes:`
		7004
		7005	`* MCR toolset`

		7007
		7008	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7009	`Version: JATS_2.50.0 Released: 15-Feb-06`
		7010	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7011	`Major changes:`
		7012	`* WIN32 utilities`
		7013	`Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)`
		7014	`with versions from the GNUWin32 project.`
		7015
		7016	`The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories`
		7017	`under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the`
		7018	`same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).`
		7019
		7020	`Minor changes:`
		7021	`* BuildVersion`
		7022	`The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file`
		7023	`will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'`
		7024	`program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.`
		7025
		7026	`The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.`
		7027
		7028	`* Unix Builds`
		7029	`Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static`
		7030	`library or a shared library.`
		7031
		7032	`JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred`
		7033	`when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix`
		7034	`systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already`
		7035	`start with 'lib'.`
		7036
		7037	`* BuildPkgArchive`
		7038	`Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if`
		7039	`they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source`
		7040	`package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.`
		7041
		7042	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7043	`Version: JATS_2.49.0 Released: 10-Feb-06`
		7044	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7045	`Major changes:`
		7046	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		7047	`Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target`
		7048	`THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get`
		7049	`regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was`
		7050	`being manually maintained.`
		7051
		7052
		7053	`Minor changes:`
		7054	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7055	`Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset`
		7056	`that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset`
		7057	`supports ANT builds.`
		7058
		7059	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		7060	`Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where`
		7061	`there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.`
		7062
		7063	`* Label utility`
		7064	`Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified`
		7065	`files to be labeled.`
		7066
		7067	`* Build. Parsing descpkg files`
		7068	`Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly`
		7069	`on Solaris.`
		7070
		7071	`* Generated makefiles`
		7072	`Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to`
		7073	`nothing.`
		7074
		7075	`* MOS Toolset`
		7076	`Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.`
		7077	`This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised`
		7078	`modules.`
		7079
		7080	`* Utility: gen_cots`
		7081	`This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry`
		7082	`and then check it in under clearcase.`
		7083
		7084	`JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.`
		7085
		7086	`* Utilty cache_dpkg`
		7087	`Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.`
		7088

		7090	`Version: JATS_2.48.0 Released: 24-Jan-06`
		7091	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7092	`Major changes:`
		7093	`None`
		7094
		7095	`Minor changes:`
		7096	`* DEVI addressed`
		7097	`DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource`
5710	dpurdie	7098	`DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource`
227	dpurdie	7099
		7100	`* Utility: release (cbuild)`
		7101	`Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching`
		7102	`rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:`
		7103
		7104	`jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH`
		7105
		7106	`will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating`
		7107	`a patch for Sydney Legacy work.`
		7108
		7109	`* RunTest directive`
		7110	`The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have`
		7111	`been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to`
		7112	`test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.`
		7113
		7114	`* PackageFile, Option --DirTree`
		7115	`Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the`
		7116	`--DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be`
		7117	`packaged under JATS`
		7118
		7119	`Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not`
		7120	`supported within JATS.`
		7121
		7122	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7123	`Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the`
		7124	`sanitized environment provided by JATS.`
		7125
		7126	`The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's`
		7127	`PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the`
		7128	`JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.`
		7129
		7130	`Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2`
		7131	`Eg: jats ant`
		7132
		7133	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7134	`Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )`
		7135
5710	dpurdie	7136	`This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file`
227	dpurdie	7137	`called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called`
		7138	`<ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the`
		7139	`<ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the`
		7140	`<ProjectName>.xml file.`
		7141
5710	dpurdie	7142	`If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will`
227	dpurdie	7143	`expect a build.pl file.`
		7144
		7145	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7146	`Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.`
		7147
		7148	`* Jats utility: create_dpkg`
		7149	`Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within`
		7150	`the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.`
		7151
		7152	`* Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)`
		7153	`Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.`
		7154
		7155	`* Build files`
		7156	`Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with`
5710	dpurdie	7157	`VIX extensions.`
227	dpurdie	7158

		7160	`Version: JATS_2.47.0 Released: 20-Dec-05`
		7161	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7162	`Major changes:`
		7163	`* BuildVersion directive in build.pl`
		7164	`Correct a problem in the generation of version.c`
		7165	`The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing`
		7166	`space when the 'array' mode was selected.`
		7167
		7168	`This may cause module validation to fail.`
		7169
		7170	`Minor changes:`

		7172
		7173	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7174	`Version: JATS_2.46.0 Released: 08-Dec-05`
		7175	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7176	`Major changes:`
		7177	`* BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives`
		7178	`Added option --Uses=NAME`
		7179	`ie:`
		7180	`BuildProduct ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5', 'MOSCF' );`
		7181
		7182	`This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5`
		7183	`headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the`
		7184	`OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build`
		7185	`environments are compatible.`
		7186
		7187
		7188	`Minor changes:`
		7189	`* BuildName option`
		7190	`Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames`
5710	dpurdie	7191	`that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).`
227	dpurdie	7192
		7193	`* jats.bat`
		7194	`Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined`
		7195	`It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.`

		7197	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7198	`Version: JATS_2.45.0 Released: 29-Nov-05`
		7199	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7200	`Major changes:`
		7201	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		7202	`The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified`
		7203	`so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly`
		7204	`speeds up multiple 'build' operations.`
		7205
		7206	`If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then`
		7207	`this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are`
		7208	`considered as under development and are subject to change.`
		7209
		7210	`If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be`
		7211	`installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to`
		7212	`be transferred into the 'interface' directory.`
		7213
		7214	`A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been`
		7215	`transferred.`
		7216
		7217	`* Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.`
		7218	`See notes below.`
		7219
		7220	`* WIN32 toolset`
		7221	`Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate`
		7222	`correctly.`
		7223
		7224	`Export the complete library search path into the build environment`
		7225	`for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.`
		7226
		7227	`* BuildVersion`
		7228	`Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#`
		7229	`The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for`
		7230	`other langauges as needed.`
		7231
		7232
		7233	`Minor changes:`
		7234	`* Utility: gen_winrc.pl`
		7235	`Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.`
		7236	`This information will be available to be placed into the generation`
		7237	`version strings.`
		7238
		7239	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		7240	`Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local`
		7241	`package or an imported package.`
		7242
		7243	`* Toolsets: MOS_MRI`
		7244	`Generate an error if required tools are not found.`
		7245	`Previously this condition would generate a warning.`
		7246
		7247	`* BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives`
		7248	`Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check`
		7249	`was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same`
		7250	`version to be included. This could result in badly formed`
		7251	`makefiles and strange error messages.`
		7252
		7253	`Internal Changes`
		7254	`* Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common`
		7255	`directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite`
		7256	`of utilities.`
		7257
		7258	`Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting`
		7259	`functions.`
		7260
		7261	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7262	`Version: JATS_2.44.0 Released: 18-Nov-05`
		7263	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7264	`Major changes:`
		7265	`* Generated makefiles`
		7266	`Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE`
		7267	`cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure`
		7268	`that sed did not process its arguments.`
		7269
		7270	`This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts`
		7271	`within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was`
		7272	`incorrectly processing:`
		7273	`sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'`
		7274	`The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was`
		7275	`then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally`
		7276	`confused.`
		7277
		7278	`NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a`
		7279	`breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).`
		7280	`The construct`
		7281	`-D__SOURCE__=\"name\"`
		7282	`was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,`
		7283	`then it works.`
		7284
		7285	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7286	`Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile`
		7287
		7288	`This option has the following effects`
		7289	`1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and`
		7290	`can be used installed and manipulated.`
		7291
		7292	`2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done`
		7293	`early - in the generated files phase.`
		7294
		7295	`Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java`
		7296	`component needs to generate a header file early.`
		7297
		7298
		7299	`Minor changes:`
		7300	`* JATS post-installation script`
		7301	`Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.`
		7302
		7303	`* Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix`
		7304	`systems. Thus .h and .H files will considered header files in`
		7305	`windows.`
		7306
		7307	`* Build.pl rewrite tool`
		7308	`Handle all variants of BuildName`
		7309
		7310	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7311	`Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable`
		7312	`1) Contain spaces`
		7313	`2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped`
		7314
		7315	`* Toolset`
		7316	`Added a 'LINUX' platform.`
		7317
		7318	`* JAVA toolset`
		7319	`Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following`
		7320	`directive:`
		7321
		7322	`includeAntRuntime="off"'`
		7323
		7324	`This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to`
		7325	`the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's`
		7326	`version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.`
		7327
		7328	`* GCC Toolset`
		7329	`Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian`
		7330
		7331	`* Makefile generation`
		7332	`When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS`
		7333	`has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.`
		7334	`Previously JATS would use the package name found within the`
		7335	`descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the`
		7336	`package could not be used.`
		7337
		7338	`* Unit Tests`
		7339	`The following environment variables are set:`
		7340
		7341	`GBE_TYPE - The type of build. Debug or production. This`
		7342	`will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'`
		7343
		7344	`GBE_HOST - The host machine we are running on.`
		7345	`This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'`
		7346
		7347	`These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.`
		7348
		7349	`* New makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		7350
		7351
		7352	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7353	`Version: JATS_2.43.0 Released: 01-Nov-05`
		7354	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7355	`Major changes:`
		7356	`* New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.`
		7357
		7358	`Special features of this toolset.`
		7359	`1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file`
		7360	`This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be`
		7361	`incorporated within the target image.`
		7362
		7363	`2) Prog directive extensions:`
		7364	`--Set=Name=Value`
		7365	`The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.`
		7366	`This allows the location of program segments to be set`
		7367
		7368	`--Ref=name`
		7369	`The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used`
		7370	`to provide information that will be placed within the`
		7371	`THX header. The version number will be ignored. It`
		7372	`will be taken from the build version number.`
		7373
		7374	`Minor changes:`
		7375	`* MOS Toolset`
		7376	`Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.`
		7377	`Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or`
		7378	`packaged.`
		7379
		7380	`* Src directive`
		7381	`No generates a warning if no source files are located within the`
		7382	`directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform`
		7383	`specifier.`
		7384
		7385	`* WIN32 runtime support`
		7386	`Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.`
		7387	`1) od - dump files in octal and other formats`
		7388	`2) cmp - compare two files byte by byte`
		7389
		7390	`Internal:`
		7391	`Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"`
		7392	`dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program`
		7393	`generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.`
		7394
		7395	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7396	`Version: JATS_2.42.0 Released: 19-Oct-05`
		7397	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7398	`Major changes:`
		7399	`* BuildAlias directive`
		7400	`Added options.`
		7401	`--Define - Does not create implicit platforms`
		7402	`--Target - Redeclares the alais as the list of all`
		7403	`platforms that are based on a given target or`
		7404	`targets.`
		7405	`Eg:`
		7406	`BuildAlias ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );`
		7407	`BuildProduct ( 'GAK', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );`
		7408	`BuildProduct ( 'PCP', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );`
		7409
		7410	`Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's`
		7411	`that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of`
		7412	`'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.`
		7413
		7414	`Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.`
		7415	`The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the`
		7416	`specification of all the LMOS targets.`
		7417
		7418
		7419	`Minor changes:`
		7420	`* Label utility`
		7421	`Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one`
		7422	`build.pl file`
		7423
		7424	`* Package directives. PackageFile.`
		7425	`Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn`
		7426	`needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.`
		7427	`Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the`
		7428	`--FilterIn option.`
		7429
		7430	`* jats release (cbuilder) utility`
		7431	`Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.`
		7432	`The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.`
		7433
		7434	`* Location of descpkg file`
		7435	`All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was`
		7436	`created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it`
		7437	`can be done within any makefile.pl.`
		7438
		7439	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7440	`Version: JATS_2.41.0 Released: 27-Sep-05`
		7441	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7442	`Major changes:`
		7443	`* RunTest directive`
		7444	`Extended the options and operation of RunTest`
		7445	`Additional options`
		7446	`--CopyIn=file`
		7447	`This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before`
		7448	`the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This`
		7449	`allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into`
		7450	`the test area.`
		7451
		7452	`Additional operations`
		7453	`The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of`
		7454	`transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms`
		7455	`--File(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a known file`
		7456	`--Local(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a file that has been Installed`
		7457	`--PackageBase(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a Package`
		7458	`Allows flags:`
		7459	`--dir - directory part of the pathname`
		7460	`--file - file part of the pathname`
		7461	`--abspath - as an absolute path`
		7462	`--absdrive - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)`
		7463
		7464	`Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their`
		7465	`existence is tested.`
		7466
		7467	`* Packaging Directives`
		7468	`Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets`
		7469	`such as LMOS.`
		7470
		7471	`PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');`
		7472
		7473	`Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32`

		7477	`Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys`
		7478
		7479	`* JAVA 1.4 and 1.5`
		7480	`Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify`
		7481	`the version of Java to be used to build a package.`
		7482
		7483	`BuildPlatforms ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );`
		7484
		7485	`The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.`
		7486	`This may not be sutable for all packages.`
		7487
		7488	`Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be`
		7489	`set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:`
		7490
		7491	`JAVA_HOME_1_4`
		7492	`JAVA_HOME_1_5`
		7493
		7494	`Minor changes:`
		7495	`* Script directive`

		7497	`These scripts are now always marked as executable.`
		7498
		7499	`* JATS environment`
		7500	`Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase`
		7501	`COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in`
		7502	`the JATS wrapper script.`
		7503
		7504	`* Label utility`
		7505	`Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.`
		7506	`There are three modes of operation:`
		7507	`1) -nocheckout Checked out files are not labeled`
		7508	`2) -checkout Only checked out files are labeled`
		7509	`3) Neither All files are labeled.`

		7520	`This options retains the locked state of a label.`
		7521
		7522	`* AVR_IAR toolset`
		7523	`Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be`
		7524	`added to a program as it is created. The option is:`
		7525	`--ProgLoader=name`
		7526
		7527	`* Package directives. PackageFile`
		7528	`Added support for packaging of directory trees.`

		7532	`--FilterIn=regexp`
		7533	`--StripDir`
		7534
		7535	`Only a single directory can be specified.`
		7536	`Multiple filters are allowed.`
		7537	`The directories must be within the current directory. It is not`
		7538	`possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.`
		7539
		7540	`The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.`
		7541	`The filters are regular expressions. Examples:`
		7542
		7543	`'--FilterIn=\.h$' - Select all files ending with .h`
		7544	`'--FilterOut=MyHeader.h' - Except this one`
		7545
		7546	`The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the`
		7547	`files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.`
		7548
		7549
		7550	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7551	`Version: JATS_2.39.0 Released: 14-Sep-05`
		7552	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7553	`Major changes:`
		7554	`* Make commands`
		7555	`Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.`
		7556
		7557	`The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools`

		7567	`variables and overrides.`
		7568

		7572
		7573	`* Deployment`
		7574	`Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction`
		7575	`with deployment operations.`
		7576
		7577	`* Release utility`
		7578	`Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.`
		7579	`The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further`
		7580	`restricted by options within the build.`
		7581
		7582	`* PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl`
		7583	`The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a`
		7584	`problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the`
		7585	`list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the`
		7586	`list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.`
		7587
		7588	`Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these`
		7589	`directives.`
		7590
		7591	`* MakeProject directive`
		7592	`If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed`
		7593	`because 'make' stops when a command fails.`
		7594
		7595	`The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the`
		7596	`log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command`
		7597	`is preserved.`

		7599	`* Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl`
		7600	`Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'`
		7601	`statements.`

		7619	`Minor changes:`
		7620	`* AddFlags directives`
		7621	`Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of`
		7622	`duplicate flags being added.`
		7623
		7624	`* GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)`
		7625	`Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS`
		7626	`loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.`
		7627
		7628	`* Mug File Generation`
		7629	`Added support to allow load files to include other load files.`
		7630
		7631	`* 'cbuild' or 'release' command`
		7632	`Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the`
		7633	`problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been`
		7634	`labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root`
		7635	`directory.`
		7636
		7637	`The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT`
		7638	`reproducible.`

		7645	`Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.`
		7646	`Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no`
		7647	`longer a list of directories.`
		7648
		7649	`Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now`
		7650	`done within the toolset.`

		7667	`Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various`
		7668	`target platforms to be extracted.`
		7669
		7670	`Better support for Product families. This is only an issue`
		7671	`for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of`
		7672	`libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.`
		7673
		7674	`* Utility: release (cbuilder)`
		7675	`Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests`
		7676	`Units tests will still be run by default.`

		7877	`* Support for Windows DLLs`
		7878	`When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is`

		7881
		7882	`The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the`
		7883	`application or visual studio.`

		7927	`force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as`

		7961	`If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what`

		7964
		7965	`* GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl`
		7966	`Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for`

		8167	`BuildArgument ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );`
		8168
		8169	`These options limit processing to either Production or Debug`
		8170	`building. The default build will build both.`
		8171
		8172	`Minor changes:`
		8173	`* Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate`
		8174	`a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats`
		8175	`directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.`
		8176
		8177	`* WCEX86A420 toolset`

		8185	`Major changes:`
		8186	`* PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]`
		8187	`option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug`
		8188	`or all.`
		8189
		8190	`This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with`
		8191	`the library or program.`
		8192
		8193	`Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );`
		8194
		8195	`Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub`
		8196	`library or any debug files.`
		8197
		8198	`* GenerateFiles`

		8205	`The filename of the prereq file`
		8206
		8207	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if`
		8208	`the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to`
		8209	`the build command, will prevent this behaviour.`
		8210
		8211
		8212	`Minor changes:`
		8213	`* create_dpkg utility`
		8214	`Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow`

		8238
		8239	`The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.`
		8240
		8241	`* Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		8242	`GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles`
		8243	`to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.`
		8244
		8245	`The change allows the construct`

		8295
		8296	`* GCC toolset`
		8297	`Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not`

		8299
		8300	`* jats "label"`

		8371	`further commands.`
		8372
		8373	`Minor changes:`

		8410	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8411	`Version: JATS_2.13.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		8412	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8413	`Major changes:`
		8414	`* Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged`
		8415	`the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The`
		8416	`implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can`
		8417	`"installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.`
		8418	`The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as`
		8419	`this is the order in which the libraries will be created and`
		8420	`installed.`
		8421
		8422	`This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared`
		8423	`libraries that depend on each other.`
		8424
		8425	`This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not`
		8426	`generate separate stub libraries to link against.`
		8427
		8428	`Minor changes:`
		8429	`* WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets`
		8430	`Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files`
		8431	`in the "local" and "interface" directory.`
		8432
		8433	`* The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the`
		8434	`first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a`
		8435	`"src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation`
		8436	`of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.`

		8438	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8439	`Version: JATS_2.12.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`

		8441	`Major changes:`
		8442
		8443	`Minor changes:`
		8444	`* Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive`
		8445	`Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction`
		8446	`with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another`
		8447	`file.`
		8448
		8449	`* Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when`
		8450	`a soft link is used to redirect to the package.`
		8451
		8452	`* Win32 and WinCE toolsets`
		8453	`Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.`
		8454	`CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );`
		8455
		8456	`Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of`
		8457	`a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"`
		8458
		8459	`Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries`
		8460	`in the same manner at Shared Libraries.`
		8461
		8462	`* WinCE toolsets`
		8463	`Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve`
		8464	`compiler specific libraries.`
		8465
		8466	`* SOLARIS toolset`
		8467	`Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line`
		8468	`with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with`
		8469	`OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.`
		8470
		8471	`Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared`
		8472	`libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being`
		8473	`cleaned up.`
		8474
		8475	`* Microtec tools set (MOS)`
		8476	`Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args`

		8484	`Version: JATS_2.11.0 Released: 15-Mar-05`
		8485	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8486	`Major changes:`
		8487	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		8488	`The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area`
		8489	`The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform`
		8490	`specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories`
		8491
		8492	`Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process`
		8493	`of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.`
		8494
		8495	`* Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the`
		8496	`user.`
		8497
		8498	`* MOS Microtec Toolset`
		8499	`Always present an absolute filename to the compiler`
		8500	`Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress`
		8501
		8502	`This will remove error messages about the path being too long`
		8503	`for the -Gf option.`
		8504
		8505	`Minor changes:`
		8506	`* SOLARIS Toolset`
		8507	`Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line`
		8508
		8509	`* Win32 and WinCE Toolset`
		8510	`Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or`
		8511	`the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to`
		8512	`figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.`
		8513
		8514	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8515	`Version: JATS_2.10.0 Released: 11-Mar-05`
		8516	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8517	`Major changes:`
		8518	`* Extended BuildName to accept the form`
		8519	`BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );`
		8520
		8521	`* MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.`
		8522	`Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and`
		8523	`data addresses for the board.`
		8524
		8525	`BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );`
		8526
		8527	`Will set the code,data address for the debugable image`
		8528
		8529	`* Extended the PackageXxxxx options`
		8530	`1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy`
		8531	`Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the`
		8532	`"platform" name. Only useful within the context of the`
		8533	`PackageFile`
		8534
		8535	`2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile`
		8536	`directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the`
		8537	`platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a`
		8538	`suffix. In practice this is the logical use.`
		8539
		8540	`* Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been`
		8541	`discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files`
		8542	`to be installed and packaged.`
		8543
		8544	`Minor changes:`
		8545
		8546	`* cache_dpkg utility`
		8547	`If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache`
		8548	`entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.`
		8549
		8550	`* label utility`
		8551	`New option -auto to create and label`
		8552
		8553	`* Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files`
		8554	`This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names`
		8555
		8556	`* The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument`
		8557	`This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root`
		8558	`directory. ie:`
		8559
		8560	`BuildDirTree ( '', 'pkg' );`
		8561
		8562	`* Fixed DEVIM 00019520`
		8563	`The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to`
		8564	`the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.`

		8573	`* Added the jats tool jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.`
		8574	`To be used by the nightly build process.`
		8575
		8576	`* Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.`
		8577	`The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the`
		8578	`compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete`
		8579	`the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.`
		8580
		8581	`The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's`
		8582	`interface directory and to remove all temp files before each`
		8583	`compilation.`
		8584
		8585	`This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.`
		8586
		8587	`Minor changes:`
		8588	`* The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if`
		8589	`one is being produced.`
		8590
		8591	`* Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"`
		8592	`option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better`
		8593	`job of cleaning the workspace.`
		8594
		8595	`* Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS`
		8596
		8597	`* Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive`
		8598
		8599	`* Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.`
		8600	`This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.`

		8603	`Version: JATS_2.8.0 Released: 17-Feb-05`
		8604	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8605	`Major changes:`
		8606	`* Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be`
		8607	`installed in order for the compilers to work.`
		8608
		8609	`* New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220`
		8610
		8611	`* All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile`
		8612	`This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the`
		8613	`same directory`
		8614
		8615	`* Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag`
		8616	`_DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the`
		8617	`documenattion.`
		8618
		8619	`Minor changes:`
		8620	`* Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings`
		8621	`Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match`
		8622
		8623	`* Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with`
		8624	`spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.`
		8625
		8626	`* Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.`
		8627	`Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB`
		8628
		8629	`* Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display`
		8630	`when the verbose option had not been selected`
		8631
		8632	`* Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files`
		8633	`would prevent the execution of the command. This command should`
		8634	`be exempt from this test.`
		8635
		8636	`* Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE`
		8637	`platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.`
		8638
		8639	`* The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build`
		8640	`clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.`
		8641
		8642	`Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be`
		8643	`removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"`
		8644	`does.`
		8645
		8646	`* The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will`
		8647	`not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.`
		8648
		8649
		8650	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8651	`Version: JATS_2.7.0 Released: 09-Feb-05`
		8652	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8653	`Major changes:`
		8654	`* First release with support for the DAFBR compiler`
		8655
		8656	`* Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:`
		8657	`--Interface - Pull lib from Interface directory`
		8658	`--Local - Pull lib from Local directory (default)`
		8659	`--SubDir=pathname - Pull lib from a subdirectory`
		8660	`Note: xxxx,pathname still works`
		8661
		8662	`* Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling`
		8663	`operations.`
		8664
		8665	`* Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.`
		8666
		8667	`* Added this manual ChangeLog file`
		8668
		8669	`Minor changes`
		8670	`* Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to`
		8671	`be run in a controlled environment from the command line.`
		8672
		8673	`* Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various`
		8674	`toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the`
		8675	`directory is not added to the library path.`
		8676
		8677	`Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will`
		8678	`not add the xxxx/lib to the path.`
		8679
		8680	`* cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.`
		8681	`The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search`
		8682	`first in an attempt to speed up the process.`
		8683
		8684	`* The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not`
		8685	`begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler`
		8686	`specific flags.`
		8687
		8688	`* The use of linker flags will issue a warning.`
		8689
		8690	`* Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been`
		8691	`determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions`
		8692	`such they are available to the common makefile.pl.`
		8693
		8694	`* Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify`
		8695	`a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of`
		8696	`JATS.`
		8697
		8698	`* Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that`
		8699	`caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.`
		8700
		8701	`* The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS`
		8702	`projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full`
		8703	`pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.`
		8704
		8705	`* The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to`
		8706	`the initial DLL or EXE.`
		8707
		8708	`* Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may`
		8709	`fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created`
		8710	`since the "generate" phase was not being run.`
		8711
		8712	`Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated`
		8713	`and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive`
		8714
		8715	`* JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.`
		8716
		8717	`* The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.`
		8718	`Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.`
		8719
		8720	`* Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if`
		8721	`the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's`
		8722	`objects.`
		8723
		8724	`* Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make`
		8725	`command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in`
		8726	`that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always`
		8727	`build defendants.`
