Major changes:
120
    * GCC Toolchain - Android NDK support
121
      Implemented SharedLibrary option - --NoVersionDll
122
      Implemented CompilerOptions - 'NoVersionDll'
123
 
4036 dpurdie 124
      Improved the process that creates symbolic links between a Shared
4034 dpurdie 125
      Libraries 'RealName' and its 'soname' and 'link name'
126
 
127
      Added support for a compiler to be provided through a package.
128
      Specifically implemented to allow Android
129
 
130
Minor changes:
131
    * BuildName directive
132
      Force '--RelaxedVersion' on COTS packages that have exactly 3 arguments.
133

------------------------------------------------------------------------
144
Major changes:
145
 
146
Minor changes:
147
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
148
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
149
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
150
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
151
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
152
 
153
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
154
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.
155
 
156
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3987 dpurdie 157
Version:  3.2.1000.cr                               Released: 16-Aug-2013

159
Major changes:
160
 
161
Minor changes:
162
    * Utility: update_release
163
      Added options:
164
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
165
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
166
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
167
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
168
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
169
      Report filter elements that are not used.
170
 
171
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
172
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
173
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
174
 
175
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
176
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
177
 
178
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3967 dpurdie 179
Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
180
------------------------------------------------------------------------
181
Major changes:
182
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
183
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
184
      intended to build deployed software.
185
 
186
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
187
      the DEVLINUX alias.
188
 
189
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
190
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
191
 
192
Minor changes:
193
    * Jats wrapper script
194
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
195
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
196
      Subversion instance of the command.
197
 
198
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
199
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
200
 
201
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
202
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
203
 
204
    * Utility: jats upddep
205
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
206
      file under windows.
207
 
208
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
209
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
210
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
211
 
212
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
213
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
214
 
215
    * GCC Toolchain
216
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.
217

3859 dpurdie 219
Version:  3.1.9000.cr                               Released: 21-Jun-13
220
------------------------------------------------------------------------
221
Major changes:
222
    * Jira Issue: JATS-274: Long view name causes legacy package to
223
                            fail to daemon build
224
      Create shorter viewnames when extracting Subversion workspace
225
 
3967 dpurdie 226
    * Documentation
3859 dpurdie 227
      Document the EnvVar ANT_HOME  
228

3832 dpurdie 231
------------------------------------------------------------------------
232
Major changes:
233
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
234
      Support for Intellect PAX.
235
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
236
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
237
 
238
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
239
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.
240
 
241
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3559 dpurdie 242
Version:  3.1.7000.cr                               Released: 03-May-13
243
------------------------------------------------------------------------
244
Major changes:
3564 dpurdie 245
    * New Platform: VSDEVRC
246
      Uses an MSP430G2553 processor, a member of the Texas Instruments MSP430
247
      family
3559 dpurdie 248
 
249
Minor changes:
250
    * Utility: jats sandbox
251
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
252
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
253
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
254
      line.
255
 
256
    * Jats Configuration
257
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
258
 
259
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
260
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
261
      and Linux.
262
 
263
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
264
      correctly rippled.
265
 
266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3347 dpurdie 267
Version:  3.1.6000.cr                               Released: 05-Apr-13
268
------------------------------------------------------------------------
269
Major changes:
270
 
271
Minor changes:
272
    * Jats Core
273
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
274
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
275
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
276
 
277
    * Utility: svnsave_build
278
      Used only by the build daemons.
279
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
280
 
281
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
282
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
283
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
284
 
285
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3045 dpurdie 286
Version:  3.1.5000.cr                               Released: 13-Feb-13 
287
------------------------------------------------------------------------
288
Major changes:
289
 
290
Minor changes:
291
    * svnrelease utility
292
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
293
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
294
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
295
 
296
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
297
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
298
      the named tag.
299
 
300
    * svnrelease utility
301
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
302
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.
303
 
304

311
      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
312
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
313
        covered by the makefile.
314
 
315
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
316
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
317
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
318
 
319
    * ALL Toolsets
320
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
321
 
322
    * Utility vcsdiff
323
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
324
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
325
      the default use of BeyondCompare.
326
 
327
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2764 dpurdie 328
Version:  3.1.3000.cr                               Released: 04-Jan-13

Major changes:
331
 
332
Minor changes:
333
    * Subversion Extraction
334
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
335
      directory of the tag.
336
 
337
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
338
      repository.
339
 
340
    * Subversion Support
341
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
342
      showing the user what to do.
343
 
344
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
345
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
346
      we have build support for this target.
347
 
348
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
349
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
350
 
351
Internal:
352
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
353
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
354
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
355
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

369
Major changes:
370
 
371
Minor changes:
372
    * Makefile generation
373
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
374
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
375
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
376
      of warnings.
377
 
378
    * Makefile Generation
379
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
380

------------------------------------------------------------------------
388
Major changes:
389
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
390
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
391
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
392
      these operations with a dedicated program.
393
 
394
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
395
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
396
      windows path scheme.
397
 
398
Minor changes:
399
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
400
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
401
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
402
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
403
 
404
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
405
        jats make clobber
406
      This operates as before.
407
 
408
    * Utility: escrow
409
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
410
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
411
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
412
 
413
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
414
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
415
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
416
 
417
    * Utility: svn : url
418
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
419
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
420
 
421
    * Utility: svn : import
422
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
423
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
424
 
425
    * Subversion Support
426
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
427
      showing the user what to do.
428
 
429
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
430
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
431
      repositories.

Minor changes:
438
    * Jats build
439
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
440
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
441
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
442
 
443
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 444
      command, with a sandbox.

466
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
467
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
468
      Modified two options:
469
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
470
                        The named branch must not exist
471
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
472
                        The named branch must exist
473
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

507
 
508
Major changes:
509
    * Jats Version Number
510
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

524
Major changes:
525
    * Subversion support
526
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
527
      SubVersion. Changes include:
528
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
529
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
530
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
531
 
532
Minor changes:
533
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
534
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
535
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
536
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
537
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
538
 
539
    * Utility: svnsave_build
540
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
541
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
542
 
543
    * Linux support utilities
544
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
545
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
546
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
551
Major changes:
552
    * Subversion Repository location
553
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
554
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
555
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
556
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
557
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
558
 
559
Minor changes:
560
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
561
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
562
 
563
    * Utility: svnrelease
564
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
565
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
566
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
567
 
568
    * Utility: svnsave_build
569
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
570
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
571
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
572
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
573
 
574
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
575
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
576
 
577
    * Utility: sandbox
578
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
579
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
580
 
581
      Subcommand: populate
582
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
583
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
584
      sandbox.
585
 
586
    * Subversion Support
587
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
588
      repository is not supported.
589
 
590
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
591
      a progress indication.
592
 
593
    * Jats Online Documentation
594
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
595
      online documentation.
596
 
597
    * Generated makefiles
598
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

675
Major changes:
676
 
677
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
678
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
679
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
680
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
681
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
682
 
683
    * C# Toolchain
684
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

      Redefined location of the Perth Subversion server AUPERASVN01
694
 
695
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
696
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
697
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
698
 
699
    * Utility ccrelease
700
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
701
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
702
 
703
    * Utility: svn
704
      Improved package import processing.
705
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
706

      ClearCase is supported on Windows.
711
 
712
    * Jats Utility: vcsdiff
713

733
Major changes:
734
 
735
Minor changes:
736
    * Command: jats clobber
737
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
738
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
739
 
740
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
741
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
742
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
743
 
744
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
745
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
746
 
377 dpurdie 747
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
748
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
749
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 750
 
751
    * jats svnlabel
752
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
753
 
754
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
755
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
756
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
757
 
758
    * Built Daemon support
759
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
760
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
761

764
------------------------------------------------------------------------
765
Major changes:
766
    * GCC Toolset
767
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
768
      New methodology is:
769
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
770
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
771
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
772
        as the main binary.
773
 
774
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
775
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
776
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
777
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
778
      both worlds.
779
 
780
Minor changes:
781
    * HTML Documentation
782
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
783
 
784
Internal changes:
785
    * Generated makefiles
786
      Removed the make_usage target as it is inaccessible. It was replaced by
787
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.

792
Major changes:
793
    * Jats Sandbox
794
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
795
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
796
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
797
 
798

912
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
913
 
914
    * jats build -noforce
915
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
916
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
917
      be forced.
918
 
919
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
920
 
921
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
922
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
923
 
924
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
925
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
926
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
927
 
928
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
929
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
930
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
931
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.

935
      provide a cleaner workspace name.

938
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.

941
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
942
      installed and can be used.

    * Toolset: CSharp
945
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
946
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
947
      character.
948
 
949
    * Toolset: SunWorks
950
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
951
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
952
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
953
      masking an error.
954
 
955
    * Toolset: Delphi7
956
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
957
      enhancement.

964
        - Return correct path to package
965
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
966
 
967
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
968
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
969
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
970
 
971
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
972
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
973
      packages.

    * make command: show
976
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
977
      'jats make show' command.
978
 
979
    * Utility: create_dpkg
980
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
981
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
982
 
983
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
984
      executed on Unix machines.

      New option: --NoToolSet
1207
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
1208
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
1209
 
1210
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
1211
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
1212
      need toolset specific information.
1213
 
1214
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
1215
 
1216
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
1217
 
1218
Internal:
1219
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
1220
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
1221
      processing into jats.pl
1222
 
1223
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
1224
      a ClearCase site.

1323
Minor changes:
1324
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
1325
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
1326
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
1327
      resulting in multiple builds.
1328
 
1329
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
1330
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
1331
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
1332
 
1333

1334
 
1335
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
1336
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
1337
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

Major changes:
1343
 
1344
Minor changes:
1345
    * Jats label command
1346
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1347
      Not recommended for general use.
1348
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1349
      directories within the current view.
1350
 
1351
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1352
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1353
      elsewhere.
1354
 
1355
    * Jats save_build
1356
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1357
      the determination of a branch.
1358
 
1359
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1360
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1361
 
1362
    * Jats build
1363
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1364
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1365
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1366
 
1367
    * Borland6 toolset
1368
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1369
      to match the documented install location of:
1370
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1371
 
1372
    * Jats build
1373
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1374
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1375
      This is a very quick operation.
1376
 
1377
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1378
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1379
 
1380
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1381
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1382
      files are only recreated if need be.
1383
 
1384
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1385
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1386
      make the package.
1387
 
1388
    * Jats sandbox
1389
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1390
 
1391
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1392
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1393
 
1394
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1395
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1396
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1397
      is performed.
1398
 
1399
Internal:
1400
    * build.pl

Minor changes:
1436
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1437
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1438
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1439
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1440
 
1441
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1442
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1443
 
1444
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1445
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1446
      platform builds.
1447
 
1448
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1449
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1450
      directory tree.
1451
 
1452
    * New command: jats man
1453
      Produces full help on a specified item.
1454

1465
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1466
Major changes:
1467
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1468
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1469
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1470
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1471
 
1472
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1473
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1474
 
1475
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1476
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1477
 
1478
      Examples:
1479
            jats upddep -show
1480
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1481
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1482
 
1483
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1484
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1485
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1486
 
1487
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1488
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1489
 
1490
Minor changes:
1491
 
1492
Internal changes:
1493
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

1498
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1499
Major changes:
1500
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1501
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1502
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1503
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1504
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1505
      stream.
1506
 
1507
      Example:
1508
 
1509
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1510
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1511
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1512
                     );
1513
Minor changes:
1514
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1515
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1516
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1517
      directive.
1518
 
1519
    * GCC Toolkit
1520
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1521
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1522
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1523
      the point of termination.
1524
 
1525
    * Jats save_build utility
1526
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1527
      under windows.
1528
 
1529
    * Jats sandbox
1530
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1531
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1532
      in different sandboxes.
1533
 
1534
    * Jats release
1535
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1536

      directory.
1547
 
1548
    * jats label utility
1549
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1550
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1551
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1552
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1553
 
1554
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1565
        noExceptions            - Disable
1566
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1567
      Example:
1568
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1569
 
1570
    * Solaris targets
1571
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1572
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1573
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1574
      machine type.

1582
      project files.
1583
 
1584
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1585
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1586
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1587
 
1588

    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1600
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1601
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1602
      libraries.
1603
 
1604
    * Solaris builds
1605
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1606
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1607
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1608
      of the build failure.
1609
 
1610
 
1611
Internal changes:
1612
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1613
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1614
 
1615
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1616
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
1620
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1621
Major changes:
1622
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1623
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1624
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1625
      existing 32-bit builds.
1626
 
1627
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1628
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1629
 
1630
Minor changes:
1631
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1632
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1633
 
1634
    * Package searching
1635
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1636
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1637
 
1638
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1639
 
1640
    * jats help
1641
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1642
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1643
 
1644
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1645
      with one of:
1646
        jats -h
1647
        jats help jats
1648
 
1649
Internal:
1650
    * cmdfile utility
1651
      Added macros:
1652
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1653
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1654
 
1655
      Corrected
1656
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1657
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1658
 
1659
      Extended
1660
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1661
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1662
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1663
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Version:  2.80.4000.cr                               Released: 17-Dec-09
1667
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1668
Major changes:
1669
 
1670
Minor changes:
1671
 
1672
Internal changes
1673
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1674
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1675
      Useful side effects include:
1676
 
1677
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1678
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1679
 
1680
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1681
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1682
 
1683
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1684
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1685
        BuildPkgArchive
1686
 
313 dpurdie 1687
    * Perl Modules
1688
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1689
      release. This will:
1690
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1691
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1692
          reported by ERG.
1693
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1698
Major changes:
1699
 
1700
Minor changes:
1701
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1702
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1703
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1704
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1705
 
1706
    * Jats label utility
1707
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1708
 
1709
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1710
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1711
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1712
 
1713
    * Jats core
1714
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1715
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1716
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 1724
    * CSHARP toolset
1725
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1726
      This is now fixed.
1727
 
309 dpurdie 1728
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1729
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1730
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1731
 
1732
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1733
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
1734
 
1735

1740
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1741
    * Generating makefiles
1742
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1743
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1744
      an error.
1745
 
1746
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1747
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1748
 
1749
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1750
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 1751

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1756
Major changes:
1757
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1758
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1759
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1760
 
1761
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1762
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1763
 
1764
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1765
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1766
      Support includes
1767
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1768
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1769
 
1770
Minor changes:
1771
    * Build file processing
1772
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1773
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1774
 
1775
    * MOS builds
1776
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1777
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1778
 
1779
    * MOS builds
1780
      New 'known' product: PICP
1781
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1782
 
1783
    * GenerateFiles directive
1784
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1785
        under windows.
1786
 
1787
        .
1788
 
1789
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1790
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1791
 
1792
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1793
      to the output stream.
1794
 
1795
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1796
 
1797
    * Windows Shell
1798
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1799
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1800
 
1801
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1802
 
1803
    * H8S toolset
1804
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1805
 
1806
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1807
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1808
 
1809
Internal changes
1810
    * WinCe builds
1811
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1812
      content of the file.
1813
 
1814
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1815
 
1816
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1817
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
1818

1828
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1829
Major changes:
1830
 
1831
Minor changes:
1832
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1833
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1834
      Changes are transparent to users.
1835
 
1836
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1837
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1838
      this occurs.
1839
 
1840
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1841
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1842
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1843
      automated build framework.
1844
 
1845
    * jats sandbox command
1846
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1847
      'create' command.
1848
 
1849
    * jats command aliases. Added
1850
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1851
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

1855
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1856
Major changes:
1857
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1858
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1859
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1860
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1861
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1862
      will work as expected
1863
 
1864
Minor changes:
1865
    * VS2008 Toolset
1866
      Picking up incorrect config details
1867
      May result in a warning message.
1868
 
1869
    * gen_cots utility
1870
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1871
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1872
 
1873
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1874
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
1875
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths
1876

1921
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1922
Major changes:
1923
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1924
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1925
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1926
 
1927
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1928
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1929
 
1930
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1931
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1932
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1933
           names cannot be changed.
1934
 
1935
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1936
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1937
 
1938
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1939
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1940
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1941
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1942
 
1943
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1944
      file.
1945
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1946
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1947
      MyPackage.dpk.
1948
 
1949
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1950
      file.
1951
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1952
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1953
      MyDll.dpr.
1954
 
1955
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1956
      file.
1957
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1958
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1959
      MyProg.dpr.
1960
 
1961
Minor changes:
1962
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1963
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1964
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1965
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1966
 
1967
    * BuildVersion directive
1968
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1969
      in a Delphi Unit.
1970
 
1971
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1972
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1973
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1974
      'know' the location of the files.
1975
 
1976
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
1977
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
1978
 
1979
Internal Changes:
1980
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
1981
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
1982
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
1983
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
1984
 
1985
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
1986
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
1987
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1992
Major changes:
1993

      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2053
 
2054
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2055
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2056
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2057
 
2058

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2064
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2065
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2066
 
279 dpurdie 2067
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2068
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2069
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2070
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2071
 
2072
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2073
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2074
 
2075
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2076
 
2077
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2078
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2079
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2080
 
2081
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2082
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2083
        processed.
2084
 
2085
      Removed the '-delete' option
2086
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2087
 
277 dpurdie 2088
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2089
    * Sandbox command
2090
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2091
 
2092
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2093
      target from consideration in the build set.
2094
 
2095
    * MCR Toolset
2096
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2097
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2098
 
2099
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2100
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2101
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2102
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2103
 
2104
    * Jats run_test command
2105
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2106
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2107
 
2108
    * descpkg file
2109
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2110
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2111
 
2112
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2113
     Now contains build trace information
2114
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2115
 
2116
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2117
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2118
     it contains 'jar' files.
2119
 
2120
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2121
 
2122
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2123
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2124
 
2125
   * BuildVersion directive
2126
     Form:
2127
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2128
     now works as expected.
2129
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2130
 
2131
Internal Changes:
2132
 
2133
    * Error reporting mechanism
2134
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2135
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2136
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

2148
    then starts.
2149
 
2150
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2151
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2152
 
2153
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2154
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2155
    non-platform option.
2156
 
279 dpurdie 2157
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

2321
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2322
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2323
 
2324
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
2325
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward

      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
2336
      GenerateCab.
2337
 
2338

      windows.
2382
 
2383
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolsets
2384
      Made used of rpccpp. These platforms can now support the creation
2385
      of XDR based modules.
2386
 
2387
    * Jats GenerateFiles directive
2388
      New option '--PreDelete' will delete all generated files before
2389
      the generator process is run. This may be used in cases where the
2390
      generator process does not operate if the output files already exist,
2391
      such as the rpcgen utility.
2392
 
2393
    * Jats MakeAnt directive
2394
      Correct problem where unit_tests could not be run.

2405
Internal Changes:
2406
    * Resolved issues with JatsEnv modules that make it difficult to include
2407

2413
      Resolved issues with JatsCmd
2414
      Now takes an array of arguments.
2415
 
2416
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
2417
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
2418
      programs.
2419
 
2420
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
2421
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

2470
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
2471
      time.
2472
 
2473
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
2474
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

Internal Changes:
2489
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
2490
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2491
      Previously was being done at two places
2492
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2493
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
2494
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
2495
 
2496
    * JATS make: Command line
2497
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2498

2506
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
2507
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
2508
        + Consistent use of option parsing
2509

2532
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
2533
 
2534
    * FileUtils package.
2535
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
2536
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
2537
      Used functions within JATS.

2553
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
2554
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
2555
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2556
 
2557
Minor changes:
2558
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2559
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
2560

2569
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2570
 
2571
      New platforms:
2572
        CSHARP2005
2573
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2574
         Support extends to allow:
2575
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2576
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2577
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2578
 
2579
        VS2005
2580
         Support extends to allow:
2581
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2582
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2583
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2584
 
2585
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2586
      through a version selector:
2587
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2588
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2589
 
2590
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2591
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2592
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2593
 
2594
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2595
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2596
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2597
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2598
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2599
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2600
          under VS2005.
2601
 
2602
Minor changes:
2603
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

2606
 
2607
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2608
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2609
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2610
 
2611
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2612
 
2613
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2614
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2615
 
2616
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2617
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2618
      a minimal value of perl.
2619
 
2620
      Removed excessive require statements.
2621
 
2622
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2623
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2624
      Include JATS specific files for
2625
        1) Windows
2626
        2) Linux
2627
 
2628
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2629
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2630
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2631
      machines.
2632
 
2633
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2634
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2635
 
2636
    * JATS Environment

2638
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2639
 
2640
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2641
      wrapper scripts.
2642
 
2643
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2644
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2645
      Spell check help and code.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2698
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2699
  * New toolset and platform
2700
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2701
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2702
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2703
    this platform.
2704
 
2705
Minor changes:
2706
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2707
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2708
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2709
    work.
2710
 
2711
  * Jats utility: release
2712
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2713
    published to dpkg_archive.
2714
 
249 dpurdie 2715
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2716
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2717
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2718
    supported for ANT builds.
2719
 
2720
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2721
        releasemanager.releasename
2722
        releasemanager.projectname
2723
 
2724
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2725
    tagged data item of the form
2726
 
2727
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2728
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2729
 
2730
  * Mug File Generation
2731
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2732
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2733
 
2734
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2735
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2736
    required.
2737
 
2738
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2739
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2740
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2741
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2742
    the files in order to use them.
2743
 
2744
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2745
    locate the file.
2746
 
2747
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2748
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2749
 
2750
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2751
        * CSharp
2752
        * Properties
2753
        * WinRC
2754
 
2755
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2756
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2757
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2758
    Value is correctly assigned.

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
2762
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2763
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2764
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2765
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2766
 
2767
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2768
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2769
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2770
 
2771
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2772
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2773
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2774
 
2775
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2776
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2777
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2778
 
2779
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2780
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2781
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2782
    correct.
2783
 
2784
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2785
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2786
 
2787
Minor changes:
2788
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2789
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2790
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2791
 
2792
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2793
    This will simplify new user setup.
2794
 
2795
  * All Unix Toolsets
2796
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2797
    on unix systems
2798
 
2799
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2800
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2801
    on some Solaris Machines.
2802
 
2803
  * JATS -version=<version>
2804
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2805
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2806
 
2807

    * New platform: WCEPSION_500_emu [DEVI-047234]
245 dpurdie 2812
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 2813
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
2814
 
2815
Minor changes:
2816
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
2817
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
2818
 
2819
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
2820
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets
2821
 
2822
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
2823
      Does not work with LMOS
2824
 
2825
    * Readme.txt file
2826
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
2827
 
2828
    * Misc Cleanup
2829
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
2848
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
2849
 
2850
  * JATS builds
2851
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
2852
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
2853
    mode.
2854
 
2855
  * JATS makefiles
2856
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2857
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2858
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2859
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2860
                            SetList directive.
2861

2869
        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
2870
 
2871
  * JATS buildfile processing
2872
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
2873
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
2874
    of JATS.
2875
 
2876
  * JATS save_build utility
2877
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
2878
    which may be reserved.

    * Escrow tool
2896
      Creates a simple HTML file that details all the packages with a short
2897

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
2906
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
2907
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
2908
 
2909
    * MOS Toolset
2910
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
2911
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
2912
 
2913
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
2914
      can have production (PIC) components.
2915

      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
2924
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
2925
      Previously only worked on Windows

    * Extract/Release utility.
2960
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
2961
      that can handle spaces
2962
 
2963
    * MOS Compiler
2964
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2965
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
2966
 
2967
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2968
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
2969
      descpkg files to be copied.
2970
 
2971
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
2972
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
2973
 
2974
    * JATS ANT command
2975
      Better selection of the ant build file
2976
 
2977

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 2987
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
2988
 
2989
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
2990
      <project> field.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3004
Major changes:
3005
 
3006
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3007
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3008
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3009
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3010
 
3011
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3012
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3013
 
3014
    * Jats wrapper
3015
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3016
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3017

Version: 2.72.00000.cr                                Released: 11-Jan-08
3020
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3021
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3022
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3023
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3024
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3025
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3026
 
3027
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3028
 
3029
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3030
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3031
 
3032
    * Running Jats
3033
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3034
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3035
      This may affect some windows developers.
3036
 
3037
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3038
      Future versions will generate an error.
3039
 
3040
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3041
 
3042
Minor changes:
3043
    * Perl Version Check
3044
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3045
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3046
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3047
 
3048
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3049
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3050
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3051
      build.
3052
 
3053
    * Jats Internals
3054
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3055
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3056
 
3057
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3058
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3059
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3060
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3061
      process.
3062
 
3063
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3064
      Only works under Windows.
3065
 
3066
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3067
 
3068
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3069
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3070
 
3071
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3072
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3073
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3074
 
3075
    * Jats eprog
3076
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3077
      directory.
3078
 
3079
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3080
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3081
      build metrics.
3082
 
3083

3085
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3086
Major changes:
3087
 
3088
Minor changes:
3089
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3090
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3091
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3092
      automated build system. New options are:
3093
        -pname=Package_Name
3094
        -pversion=Package_Version
3095
 
3096
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3097
      transferring the package. New options are:
3098
        -test
3099
 
3100
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3101
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3102
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3103
 
3104
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3105
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3106
 
3107
    * Solaris Toolset
3108
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3109
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3110
      programs are still supported.
3111

3114
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3115
Major changes:
3116
 
3117
Minor changes:
3118
    * WINCE toolsets
3119
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3120
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3121
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3122
      when header files cannot be found.
3123
 
3124
    * GenerateFiles directive
3125
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3126
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3127
      that are difficult to solve.
3128
 
3129
    * MakePerlModule directive
3130
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3131
      to the the module builder.
3132
 
3133
    * Jats Tool: label
3134
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3135
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3136
      -dirs=xxx options.
3137
 
3138
    * Jats Tool: release
3139
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3140
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3141
 
3142
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3143
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3144
 
3145
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3146
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3147
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3148
 
3149
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3208
 
3209
    * Makefile generation
3210
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3211
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3212
 
3213
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics

      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3215
 
3216
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3217
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild

3225
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3226
 
3227
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3228
      inconsistent packages.
3229
 
3230
    * jats make help
3231
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3232
      available within the current build.
3233
 
3234
    * jats makefiles
3235
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3236
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3237
 
3238
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3239
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3240
 
3241
    * gcc toolset
3242
      SharedLibries.
3243
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3244
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3245
 
3246
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3247
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3248
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3249
 
3250
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3251
        New options:
3252
            --MultiScan
3253
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3254
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3255
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

3263
Minor changes:
3264
    PackageLib directive
3265
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3266
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3267
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3268
 
3269
    MakefileGenerate directive
3270
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3271
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3272
 
3273
    Multiple Parent detection
3274
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3275
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3276
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3277
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3278
 
3279
    Solaris Toolset
3280
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3281
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3282
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3283
    link.
3284
 
3285
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3286
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3287
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3288
 
3289
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3290
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3291
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3292
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3297
Major changes:
3298
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3299
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3300
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3301
 
3302
    Summary of changes:
3303
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3304
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3305
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3306
          flexibility.
3307
 
3308
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3309
 
3310
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3311
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3312
          interface directory and associated build information.
3313
 
3314
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3315
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3316
          than one second.
3317
 
3318
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3319
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3320
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3321
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3322
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3323
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3324
 
3325
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3326
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3327
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3328
 
3329
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3330
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3331
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3332
          building them.
3333
 
3334
        - Detection of build file changes
3335
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3336
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3337
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3338
 
3339
        - Quieter make output
3340
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3341
 
3342
 
3343
Minor changes:
3344
    MakeAnt Directive
3345
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3346
 
3347
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3348
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3349
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3350
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3351
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3352
 
3353
    CSHARP toolset
3354
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3355

3364
 
3365
    MakeAnt
3366
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3367
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3368
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3369
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3370

3383
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3384
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3385
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3386
 
3387
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3388
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3389
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3390
        package image being created.

3410
 
3411
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3412
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3413
 
3414
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3415
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3416
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3417
 
3418
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3419
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3420
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3450
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3451
 
3452
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3453
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3454
      last.
3455
 
3456
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3457
 
3458
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3459
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3460
 
3461
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3462
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3463
 
3464
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3465
 
3466
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3467
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3468
 
3469
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3470
 
3471
 
3472
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3473

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3497
Major changes:
3498
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3499
 
3500
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3501
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3502
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3503
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3504
      path.
3505
 
3506
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3507
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3508
      reproducible.
3509
 
3510
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3511
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3512
 
3513
      There are several aspects to the change
3514
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3515
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3516
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3517
 
3518
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3519
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3520
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3521
          controlled separately.
3522
 
3523
Minor changes:
3524
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3525
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3526
        Remove duplicates
3527
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3528

Minor changes:
3535
    * Makefile sanity test
3536
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3537
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3538
 
3539
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3540
      x86 machine.
3541
 
3542
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3543
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory

Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3548
Major changes:
3549
    * RunTest directive
3550
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3551
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3552
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3553
 
3554
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3555
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3556
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3557
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3558
 
3559
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3560
        builder within the current toolset.
3561
 
3562
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3563
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3564
 
3565
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3566
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3567
      containing the RunTest directive.
3568
 
3569
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3570
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3571
 
3572
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3573
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3574
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3575
 
3576
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3577
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3578
                            P or D suffix.
3579
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3580
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3581
 
3582
Minor changes:
3583
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3584
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3585
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3586
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3587
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3588
 
3589
    * Save Build Utility
3590
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3591
      used in a ripple build.
3592
 
3593
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3594
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3595
 
3596
    * Release Utility
3597
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3598
      when an error is encountered.
3599
 
3600
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3601
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3602
 
3603
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3604
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3605
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3606
 
3607
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3608
      before the makefiles are created.
3609
 
3610
    * TestProg directive
3611
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3612
 
3613
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3614
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3615
 
3616
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3617
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
3618
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3619
Major changes:
3620
    * New build target
3621
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3622
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3623
 
3624
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3625
            DEVLINUX
3626
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3627
 
3628
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3629
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3630
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3631
 
3632
Minor changes:
3633
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3634
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3635
 
3636
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3637
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3638
 
3639
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3640
      and .cs files.
3641
 
3642
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3643
      thing.
3644
 
3645
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3646
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3647
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3648
      were it places temp files.
3649
 
3650
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3651
      interaction with other builds.
3652
 
3653
    * Release utility command
3654
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3655
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3656
      component in the clearcase tag name.
3657

3673
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3674
 
3675
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3676
    as a Script.

Major changes:
3705
 
3706
Minor changes:
3707
  * WINCE Support
3708
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3709
 
3710
  * Removed the following targets
3711
        TP5600
3712
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3713
        TP5600_EMU
3714
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3715
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3716
 
3717
  * Deployment
3718
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3719
 
3720
  * build.pl
3721
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3722
 
3723
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3724
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3725
 
3726
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3727
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3728
    build.
3729
 
3730
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3731
 
3732
  * Tool: escrow
3733
     New features
3734
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3735
     are not in the SBOM.
3736
 
3737
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3738
 
3739
     Specify packages to be ignored.

3743
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3744
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3745
Major changes:
3746
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3747
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3748
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3749
 
3750
  * GenerateFiles
3751
    Added the options:
3752
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3753
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3754
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3755
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3756
 
3757
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3758
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3759
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3760
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3761
                                  required.
3762
 
3763
 
3764
Minor changes:
3765
  * GenerateFile directive
3766
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3767
 
3768
  * GCC Toolset
3769
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3770
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3771
    be rebuilt.
3772
 
3773
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3774
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3775
 
3776
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3777
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3778
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3779
Major changes:
3780
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3781
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3782
    environment variables.
3783
 
3784
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3785
            moved.
3786
 
3787
    This will affect users that:
3788
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3789
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3790
 
3791
        2) Use the ABT system
3792
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3793
           the required configuration
3794
 
3795
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3796
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3797
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3798
    Windows
3799
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3800
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3801
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3802
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3803
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3804
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3805
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3806
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3807
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3808
 
3809
 
3810
  * New build platforms
3811
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3812
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3813
 
3814
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3815
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3816
 
3817
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3818
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3819
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3820
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3821
 
3822
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3823
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3824
    release.
3825
 
3826
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3827
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3828
 
3829
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3830
    need to be converted.
3831
 
3832
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3833
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3834
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3835
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3836
    used for different targets platforms.
3837
 
3838
  * Sandbox support
3839
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3840
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3841
 
3842
    New command: jats sandbox ...

3849
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3850
Major changes:
3851
  * MakeAnt directive
3852
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3853
 
3854
    New options
3855
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3856
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3857
 
3858
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3859
    run_unit_tests phase.
3860
 
3861
  * Sandbox support
3862
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3863
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3864
 
3865
Minor changes:
3866
  * jats build
3867
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3868
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3869
 
3870
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3871
 
3872
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3873
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3874
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3875
 
3876
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3877
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3878
 
3879
  * JATS.BAT
3880
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3881
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3882
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3883
 
3884
  * jats label
3885
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3886
 
3887
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3888
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3889
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3890
Major changes:
3891
  * New build platform:
3892
        LMOS_TP5600
3893
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3894
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3895
 
3896
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3897
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3898
    describe the group of platforms.
3899
 
3900
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3901
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3902
    build these targets.
3903
 
3904
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3905
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3906
 
3907
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3908
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3909
 
3910
  * New build platform: WINCE
3911
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3912
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3913
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3914
 
3915
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3916
            WCEIT3000
3917
            WCEPA961
3918
            WCEPA962

3926
 
3927
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3928
 
3929
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3930
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3931
    that contain packaging directives.
3932
 
3933
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3934
    very unusual configurations.
3935
 
3936
Minor changes:
3937
  * Directive: PackageFile
3938
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3939
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3940
    an '='.
3941
 
3942
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3943
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3944
 
3945
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3946
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3947
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3948
 
3949
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3950
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3951

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3953
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3954
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3955
Major changes:
3956
 
3957
  * JATS release command
3958
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3959
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3960
 
3961
    Rules are:
3962
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3963
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3964
                            File will be placed on a branch
3965
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3966
                            New directory will branch
3967
 
3968
Minor changes:
3969
  * JATS release command
3970
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3971
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3972
 
3973
  * JATS label command
3974
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
3975
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
3976
 
3977
  * JATS make
3978
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
3979
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
3980
    was re-packaged.
3981
 
3982
  * JATS escrow
3983
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
3984
    Use jats escrow -help for details
3985
 
3986
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
3987
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
3988
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
3989
 
3990
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
3991
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
3992
    interface directory.
3993
 
3994
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
3995
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
3996
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
3997
    directory as seen by the package.
3998
 
3999
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4000
 
4001
  * JAVA 6
4002
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4003
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4004
 
4005
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4006
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4007
 
4008
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4009
 
4010
  * Jats command: vars
4011
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4012
    These indicate potential problems.
4013
 
4014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4015
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4017
Major changes:
4018
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4019
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4020
    libarry is also created.
4021
 
4022
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4023
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4024
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4025
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4026
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4027
    information contained within the file.
4028
 
4029
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4030
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4031
 
4032
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4033
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4034
 
4035
  * Building Perl Modules
4036
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4037
    documentation on the build machine.
4038
 
4039
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4040
 
4041
Minor changes:
4042
  * jats create_dpkg
4043
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4044
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4045
 
4046
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4047
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4048
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4049
Major changes:
4050
  * JATS JAVA build target
4051
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4052
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4053
 
4054
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4055
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4056
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4057
    is then picked up as the default version.
4058
 
4059
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4060
    build.pl file.
4061
 
4062
Minor changes:
4063
  * jats release
4064
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4065
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4066
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4067
 
4068
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4069
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4070
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4071
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4072
    the name of the view.
4073
 
4074
  * GenerateFiles directive
4075
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4076
 
4077
  * MOS Toolset
4078
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4079
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4080
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4081
 
4082
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4083
 
4084
 
4085
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4086
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4087
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4088
Major changes:
4089
 
4090
Minor changes:
4091
  * JATS environment
4092
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4093
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4094
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4095
 
4096
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4097
 
4098
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4099
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4100
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4101
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4102
    to be packaged.
4103
 
4104
  * Generated makefiles
4105
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4106
 
4107
  * Generating MOS THX files
4108
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4109
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4110
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4111
 
4112
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4113
 
4114
  * JATS release
4115
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4116
 
4117
  * JATS extract
4118
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4119
 
4120
  * JATS Toolset
4121
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4122
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4123
 
4124

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4126
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4127
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4128
Major changes:
4129
 
4130
Minor changes:
4131
  * jats label
4132
    Added a -vob=name option
4133
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4134
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4135
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4136
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4137
 
4138
    Added a -user=name option
4139
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4140
    label to the named user.
4141
 
4142
  * jats release
4143
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4144
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4145
 
4146
  * JATS build.pl
4147
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4148
    ie:
4149
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4150

4153
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4154
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4155
Major changes:
4156
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4157
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4158
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4159
    the makefile internals. ie:
4160
        --Var(BuildName)
4161
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4162
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4163
 
4164
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4165
 
4166
  * GenerateFiles
4167
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4168
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4169
 
4170
  * BuildPlatforms
4171
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4172
 
4173
Minor changes:
4174
  * GCC Toolset
4175
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4176
 
4177
Internal changes:
4178
  * GenerateFiles
4179
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4180
 
4181
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4182
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4183
 
4184
 
4185
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4186
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4187
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4188
Major changes:
4189
  * Caching JATS
4190
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4191
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4192
 
4193
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4194
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4195
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4196
 
4197
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4198
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4199
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4200
 
4201
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4202
 
4203
Minor changes:
4204
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4205
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4206
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4207
 
4208
  * jats build
4209
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4210
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4211
    processed by the build.
4212
 
4213
  * jats build
4214
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4215
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4216
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4217
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4218
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4219
 
4220
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4221
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4222
    Path is not specified.
4223
 
4224
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4225
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4226
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4227
        --Dir=$Pinc
4228
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4229
 
4230
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4231
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4232
    Windows platform.
4233
 
4234
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4235
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4236
            by 'purecov.
4237
 
4238
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4239
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4240
 
4241
        - OPTIONS=purify
4242
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4243
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4244
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4245

4248
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
4249
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4250
Major changes:
4251
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4252
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4253
    Example:
4254
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4255
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4256
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4257
 
4258
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4259
    been determined.
4260
 
4261
Minor changes:
4262
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4263
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4264
    located at build-time.
4265
 
4266
  * Unix based systems
4267
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4268
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4269
 
4270
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4271
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4272
    driver being built.
4273
 
4274
 
4275

4280
 
4281
Minor changes:
4282
  * jats_rewrite tool
4283
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
4284
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
4285
 
4286
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
4287
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4288
 
4289
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4290
    dependancy information within a package.
4291
 
4292
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4293
    messages.
4294
 
4295
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4296
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4298
Major changes:
4299
  * makefile.pl directives
4300
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
4301
 
4302
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4303
 
4304
    GenerateFiles.
4305
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4306
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4307
                      be run on every invocation.
4308
 
4309
 
4310
Minor changes:
4311
  * Added the jats version command
4312
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
4313
 
4314
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
4315
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4316
  There are two mechanism:
4317
 
4318
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4319
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4320
 
4321
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4322
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4323
 
4324
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4325
  default.
4326
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
4327
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
4328

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4332
Major changes:
4333
  * SunWorks Toolset
4334
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4335
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4336
    It is based on machine type.
4337
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4338
 
4339
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4340
 
4341
Minor changes:
4342
  * Perl DBI interface
4343
    Removed the message showing database connection
4344
 
4345
  * JATS internal library
4346
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
4347
 
4348

4349
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
4350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4351
Major changes:
4352
  * GCC Toolset
4353
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
4354
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
4355
    Removed the use of `uname`.
4356
 
4357
  * Added platforms
4358
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
4359
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4360
    TP5600_EMU
4361
 
4362
Minor changes:
4363
  * descpkg file reader
4364
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
4365
    field separator.
4366
 
4367
  * JATS eprog command
4368
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4369
 
4370
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4371
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4372
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4373
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4374
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4375
 
4376
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4377
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4378
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4379
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4380
 
4381
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4382
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
4383

4394
 
4395
 
4396
Minor changes:
4397
  * JATS wrapper script
4398
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4399
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4400
    to setup links to system programs.
4401

Major changes:
4421
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4422
    Added CompileOptions
4423
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4424
        no_misalign         - Default
4425
 
4426
        multithread         - Default
4427
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking

  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4430
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
4431
 
4432

4441
 
4442
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4443
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4444
    Theses are:
4445
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4446
        SOLARIS_AMD
4447
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4448
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4449
 
4450
Minor changes:
4451
  * AT3232 toolset
4452
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

4461
Major changes:
4462
 
4463
Minor changes:
4464
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4465
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4466
    messages
4467
 
4468
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4469
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4470
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4471
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4472
 
4473
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4474
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
4475
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4476
Major changes:
4477
 
4478
Minor changes:
4479
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4480
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4481
    library without creating the body of the library:
4482
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4483
 
4484
 
4485
  * MOS toolsets
4486
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4487
    library without creating the body of the library:
4488
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4489
 
4490
  * JATS BIN directories
4491
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4492
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4493
    using autoconf.
4494
 
4495
  * Generate directive
4496
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4497
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4498
 
4499
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4500

4503
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4504
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4505
Major changes:
4506
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4507
    Initial release.
4508
 
4509
Minor changes:
4510
 
4511
 
4512
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4513
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4514
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4515
Major changes:
4516
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4517
    Initial release.
4518
 
4519
  * Packaging directives
4520
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4521
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4522
 
4523
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4524
        SOLARIS
4525
        WIN32
4526
 
4527
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4528
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4529
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4530
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4531
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4532
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4533
 
4534
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4535
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4536
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4537
 
4538
 
4539
Minor changes:
4540
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4541
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4542
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4543
 
4544
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4545
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4546
    location
4547
 
4548
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4549
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4550
 
4551
  * Utility genrc
4552
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4553
 
4554
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4555
    Added option: -new
4556
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4557
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4558
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4559
 
4560
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4561
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4562
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4563
 
4564
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4565
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4566
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4567
 
4568
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4569
   features - in a uniform manner.
4570
 
4571
 
4572
Internal Changes:
4573
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4574
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4575
 
4576
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4577
        1) Platform information available at build time
4578
        2) Dynamic platform names
4579
 
4580
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4581
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4582
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4583
 
4584
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4585
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4586
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4587
 
4588
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4589
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4590
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4591
    needed.
4592
 
4593
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4594
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4595
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4596
    files from all of these.
4597

4601
Major changes:
4602
 
4603
Minor changes:
4604
  * WinCE toolset
4605
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4606
 
4607
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4608
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4609
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4610
Major changes:
4611
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4612
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4613
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4614
 
4615
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4616
 
4617
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4618
    the operations.
4619
 
4620
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4621
 
4622
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4623
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4624
 
4625
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4626
 
4627
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4628
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4629
 
4630
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4631
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4632
    Extended the built-in help
4633
    Added useful error messages
4634
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4635
 
4636
  * WinCE toolset
4637
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4638
 
4639
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4640
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4641
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4642
 
4643
Minor changes:
4644
  * JATS wrapper script
4645
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4646
    the command line.
4647
 
4648
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4649
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4650
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4651
 
4652
Internal Changes:
4653
  * Common Error Reporting
4654
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4655
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4656
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4657
    level.
4658
 
4659
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4660
    displayed.
4661
 
4662
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4663
 
4664
  * Added JatsSystem module
4665
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4666
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4667
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

4669
Major changes:
4670
 
4671
Minor changes:
4672
  * BR Compiler toolset
4673
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4674
    .def files to include other files.
4675
 
4676
  * IAR toolset
4677
    Added AT7272 support
4678
 
4679
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4680
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4681
 
4682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4683
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4684
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4685
Major changes:
4686
 
4687
Minor changes:
4688
  * BR Compiler toolset
4689
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4690
    use.
4691
 
4692
 
4693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4694
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4695
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4696
Major changes:
4697
 
4698
Minor changes:
4699
  * Mictotec toolset
4700
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4701
    builds.
4702
 
4703
  * JATS Core
4704
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4705
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4706
    behaviour.
4707
 
4708
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4709
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4710
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4711
Major changes:
4712
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4713
    Deployment package will be affected.
4714
 
4715
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4716
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4717
 
4718
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4719
 
4720
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4721
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4722
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4723
    packages.
4724
 
4725
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4726
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4727
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4728
 
4729
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4730
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4731
 
4732
Minor changes:
4733
  * SubDir directive
4734
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4735
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4736
 
4737
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4738
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4739
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4740
    of the file usage.
4741
 
4742
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4743
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4744
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4745
 
4746
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4747
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4748
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4749
 
4750
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4751
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4752
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4753
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4754
 
4755
 
4756
Internal Changes:
4757
  * Code refactor
4758
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4759
 
4760
  * Deployment utilities
4761
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4762
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4763
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4764
    the module can locate the file.
4765
 
4766
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4767
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4768
 
4769
  * JATS core
4770
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4771
 
4772
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4773
 
4774
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4775
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4776
    through the use of environment variables.
4777
 
4778
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4779
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4780
 
4781
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4782
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4783
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4784
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4785
 
4786
  * Make environment
4787
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4788
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4789

Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4794
Major changes:
4795
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4796
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4797
 
4798

Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4801
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4802
 
4803
Not Released.
4804
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4805
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4806
 
4807
 
4808
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4809
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4810
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4811
Major changes:
4812
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4813
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4814
    radically replaced.
4815
 
4816
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4817
    Usage:
4818
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4819
 
4820
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4821
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4822
    this solution:
4823
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4824
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4825
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4826
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4827
 
4828
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4829
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4830
    order to work.
4831
 
4832
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4833
    reduced functionality.
4834
 
4835
 
4836
Minor changes:
4837
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4838
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4839
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4840
 
4841
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4842
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4843
    within the makefiles.
4844
        Options:
4845
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4846
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4847
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4848
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4849
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4850
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4851
        Useage:
4852
 
4853
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4854
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4855
 
4856
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4857
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4858
    is not in the current directory.
4859
 
4860
  * Jats Command: ant'
4861
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4862
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4863
 
4864
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4865
 
4866
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4867
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4868
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4869
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4870
 
4871
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4872
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4873
    Thus
4874
 
4875
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4876
 
4877
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4878
 
4879

4881
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4882
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4883
Major changes:
4884
 
4885
Minor changes:
4886
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4887
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4888
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4889
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4890
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4891
 
4892
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4893
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4894
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4895
 
4896
Internal changes:
4897
  * JATS toolsets
4898
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4899
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4900
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4901
 
4902
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4903
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4904
 
4905
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4906
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4907
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4908
Major changes:
4909
  * Jats command: etool
4910
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4911
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4912
 
4913
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4914
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4915
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4916
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4917
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4918
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4919
 
4920
Minor changes:
4921
 
4922
 
4923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4924
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4925
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4926
Major changes:
4927
  * JATS environment variables
4928
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4929
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4930
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4931
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4932
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4933
 
4934
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4935
              Remote repository
4936
 
4937
    Added GBE_DPLY
4938
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4939
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4940
 
4941
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4942
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4943
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4944
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4945
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4946
 
4947
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4948
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4949
 
4950
 
4951
Minor changes:
4952
  * JATS utility: build
4953
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4954
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4955
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4956
 
4957
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4958
    Ensure label is not locked
4959
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4960
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4961
 
4962
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4963
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4964
    to a specific type of build.
4965
 
4966
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
4967
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
4968
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
4969
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
4970
 
4971
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
4972
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
4973
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
4974
 
4975
  * JATS utility: release
4976
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
4977
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
4978
 
4979
  * JATS utility: label
4980
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
4981
    when it is being created.
4982
 
4983
Internal Changes
4984
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
4985
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
4986
 
4987
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
4988
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
4989
 
4990
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
4991
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
4992
    different results.
4993
 
4994
  * ToolsetRequire directive
4995
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
4996
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
4997
 
4998
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5001
Major changes:
5002
 
5003
  * MCR toolset
5004
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5005
 
5006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5007
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5009
Major changes:
5010
  * WIN32 utilities
5011
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5012
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5013
 
5014
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5015
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5016
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5017
 
5018
Minor changes:
5019
  * BuildVersion
5020
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5021
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5022
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5023
 
5024
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5025
 
5026
  * Unix Builds
5027
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5028
    library or a shared library.
5029
 
5030
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5031
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5032
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5033
    start with 'lib'.
5034
 
5035
  * BuildPkgArchive
5036
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5037
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5038
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5039
 
5040
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5041
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5042
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5043
Major changes:
5044
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5045
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5046
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5047
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5048
    being manually maintained.
5049
 
5050
 
5051
Minor changes:
5052
  * MakeAnt directive
5053
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5054
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5055
    supports ANT builds.
5056
 
5057
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5058
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5059
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5060
 
5061
  * Label utility
5062
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5063
    files to be labeled.
5064
 
5065
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5066
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5067
    on Solaris.
5068
 
5069
  * Generated makefiles
5070
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5071
    nothing.
5072
 
5073
  * MOS Toolset
5074
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5075
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5076
    modules.
5077
 
5078
  * Utility: gen_cots
5079
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5080
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5081
 
5082
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5083
 
5084
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5085
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5086
 
5087
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5088
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5090
Major changes:
5091
  None
5092
 
5093
Minor changes:
5094
  * DEVI addressed
5095
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5096
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5097
 
5098
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5099
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5100
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5101
 
5102
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5103
 
5104
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5105
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5106
 
5107
  * RunTest directive
5108
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5109
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5110
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5111
 
5112
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5113
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5114
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5115
    packaged under JATS
5116
 
5117
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5118
          supported within JATS.
5119
 
5120
  * Jats utility wrapper
5121
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5122
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5123
 
5124
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5125
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5126
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5127
 
5128
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5129
    Eg: jats ant
5130
 
5131
  * Jats utility wrapper
5132
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5133
 
5134
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5135
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5136
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5137
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5138
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5139
 
5140
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5141
    expect a build.pl file.
5142
 
5143
  * Jats utility wrapper
5144
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5145
 
5146
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5147
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5148
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5149
 
5150
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5151
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5152
 
5153
  * Build files
5154
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5155
    ERG extensions.
5156
 
5157

5159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5160
Major changes:
5161
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5162
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5163
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5164
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5165
 
5166
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5167
 
5168
Minor changes:
5169
  * None

5172
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5174
Major changes:
5175
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5176
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5177
    ie:
5178
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5179
 
5180
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5181
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5182
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5183
    environments are compatible.
5184
 
5185
 
5186
Minor changes:
5187
  * BuildName option
5188
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5189
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5190
 
5191
  * jats.bat
5192
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5193
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5194
 
5195
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5196
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5197
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5198
Major changes:
5199
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5200
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5201
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5202
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5203
 
5204
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5205
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5206
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5207
 
5208
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5209
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5210
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5211
 
5212
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5213
    transferred.
5214
 
5215
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5216
    See notes below.
5217
 
5218
  * WIN32 toolset
5219
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5220
    correctly.
5221
 
5222
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5223
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5224
 
5225
  * BuildVersion
5226
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5227
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5228
    other langauges as needed.
5229
 
5230
 
5231
Minor changes:
5232
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5233
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5234
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5235
    version strings.
5236
 
5237
  * GenerateFiles directive
5238
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5239
    package or an imported package.
5240
 
5241
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5242
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5243
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5244
 
5245
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5246
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5247
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5248
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5249
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5250
 
5251
Internal Changes
5252
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5253
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5254
    of utilities.
5255
 
5256
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5257
    functions.
5258
 
5259
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5260
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5262
Major changes:
5263
  * Generated makefiles
5264
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5265
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5266
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5267
 
5268
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5269
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5270
    incorrectly processing:
5271
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5272
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5273
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5274
    confused.
5275
 
5276
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5277
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5278
    The construct
5279
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5280
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5281
    then it works.
5282
 
5283
  * MakeAnt directive
5284
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5285
 
5286
    This option has the following effects
5287
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5288
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5289
 
5290
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5291
           early - in the generated files phase.
5292
 
5293
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5294
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5295
 
5296
 
5297
Minor changes:
5298
  * JATS post-installation script
5299
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5300
 
5301
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5302
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5303
    windows.
5304
 
5305
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5306
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5307
 
5308
  * Jats wrapper script
5309
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5310
        1) Contain spaces
5311
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5312
 
5313
  * Toolset
5314
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5315
 
5316
  * JAVA toolset
5317
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5318
    directive:
5319
 
5320
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5321
 
5322
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5323
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5324
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5325
 
5326
  * GCC Toolset
5327
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5328
 
5329
  * Makefile generation
5330
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5331
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5332
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5333
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5334
    package could not be used.
5335
 
5336
  * Unit Tests
5337
    The following environment variables are set:
5338
 
5339
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5340
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5341
 
5342
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5343
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5344
 
5345
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5346
 
5347
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5348
 
5349
 
5350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5351
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5352
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5353
Major changes:
5354
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5355
 
5356
    Special features of this toolset.
5357
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5358
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5359
       incorporated within the target image.
5360
 
5361
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5362
       --Set=Name=Value
5363
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5364
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5365
 
5366
       --Ref=name
5367
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5368
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5369
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5370
                will be taken from the build version number.
5371
 
5372
Minor changes:
5373
  * MOS Toolset
5374
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5375
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5376
    packaged.
5377
 
5378
  * Src directive
5379
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5380
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5381
    specifier.
5382
 
5383
  * WIN32 runtime support
5384
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5385
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5386
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5387
 
5388
Internal:
5389
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5390
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5391
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5392
 
5393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5394
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5395
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5396
Major changes:
5397
    * BuildAlias directive
5398
      Added options.
5399
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5400
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5401
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5402
                          targets.
5403
      Eg:
5404
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5405
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5406
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5407
 
5408
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5409
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5410
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5411
 
5412
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5413
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5414
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5415
 
5416
 
5417
Minor changes:
5418
  * Label utility
5419
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5420
    build.pl file
5421
 
5422
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5423
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5424
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5425
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5426
    --FilterIn option.
5427
 
5428
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5429
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5430
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5431
 
5432
  * Location of descpkg file
5433
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5434
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5435
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5436
 
5437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5438
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5439
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5440
Major changes:
5441
  * RunTest directive
5442
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5443
    Additional options
5444
      --CopyIn=file
5445
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5446
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5447
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5448
        the test area.
5449
 
5450
    Additional operations
5451
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5452
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5453
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5454
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5455
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5456
    Allows flags:
5457
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5458
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5459
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5460
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5461
 
5462
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5463
    existence is tested.
5464
 
5465
  * Packaging Directives
5466
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5467
    such as LMOS.
5468
 
5469
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5470
 
5471
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5472
 
5473
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5474
 
5475
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5476
 
5477
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5478
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5479
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5480
 
5481
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5482
 
5483
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5484
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5485
 
5486
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5487
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5488
 
5489
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5490
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5491
 
5492
Minor changes:
5493
  * Script directive
5494
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5495
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5496
 
5497
  * JATS environment
5498
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5499
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5500
    the JATS wrapper script.
5501
 
5502
  * Label utility
5503
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5504
    There are three modes of operation:
5505
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5506
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5507
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5508
 
5509
 
5510
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5511
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5512
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5513
Major changes:
5514
 
5515
Minor changes:
5516
  * label utility
5517
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5518
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5519
 
5520
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5521
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5522
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5523
      --ProgLoader=name
5524
 
5525
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5526
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5527
    Options to do this are:
5528
        --TreeDir=name
5529
        --FilterOut=regexp
5530
        --FilterIn=regexp
5531
        --StripDir
5532
 
5533
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5534
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5535
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5536
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5537
 
5538
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5539
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5540
 
5541
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5542
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5543
 
5544
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5545
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5546
 
5547
 
5548
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5549
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5550
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5551
Major changes:
5552
    * Make commands
5553
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5554
 
5555
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5556
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5557
 
5558
    * Label utility
5559
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5560
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5561
 
5562
Minor changes:
5563
    * Toolsets
5564
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5565
      variables and overrides.
5566
 
5567
      The make_init target is always run.
5568
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5569
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5570
 
5571
    * Deployment
5572
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5573
      with deployment operations.
5574
 
5575
    * Release utility
5576
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5577
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5578
      restricted by options within the build.
5579
 
5580
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5581
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5582
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5583
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5584
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5585
 
5586
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5587
      directives.
5588
 
5589
    * MakeProject directive
5590
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5591
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5592
 
5593
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5594
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5595
      is preserved.
5596
 
5597
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5598
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5599
      statements.
5600
 
5601
    * Mugfile generation
5602
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5603
      be placed in the target package.
5604
 
5605
 
5606
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5607
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5608
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5609
Major changes:
5610
    * BuildVersion directive
5611
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5612
      number as well as a patch number.
5613
 
5614
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5615
      number.
5616
 
5617
Minor changes:
5618
    * AddFlags directives
5619
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5620
      duplicate flags being added.
5621
 
5622
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5623
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5624
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5625
 
5626
    * Mug File Generation
5627
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5628
 
5629
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5630
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5631
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5632
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5633
     directory.
5634
 
5635
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5636
     reproducible.
5637

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5639
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5640
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5641
Major changes:
5642
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5643
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5644
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5645
      longer a list of directories.
5646
 
5647
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5648
      done within the toolset.
5649
 
5650
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5651
 
5652
    * JATS environment variables
5653
      Redefined variable
5654
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5655
                          Previously was a list that included the
5656
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5657
 
5658
      New variable
5659
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5660
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5661
 
5662
 
5663
Minor changes:
5664
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5665
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5666
      target platforms to be extracted.
5667
 
5668
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5669
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5670
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5671
 
5672
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5673
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5674
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5675
 
5676
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5677
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5678
 
5679
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5680
      Support ANT based XML files
5681
 
5682
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5683
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5684
      structure.
5685
 
5686
    * makefile.pl's
5687
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5688
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5689
 
5690
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5691
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5692
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5693
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5694
 
5695
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5696
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5697
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5698
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5699
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5700
      -- Auto.
5701
 
5702
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5703
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5704
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5705
 
5706
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5707
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5708
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5709
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5710
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5711
 
5712
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5713
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5714
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5715
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5716
      installed on the machine.
5717
 
5718
    * WINCE Targets
5719
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5720
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5721
 
5722
 
5723
 
5724
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5725
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5726
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5727
Major changes:
5728
    * WIN32 platforms
5729
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5730
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5731
      and installed packages.
5732
 
5733
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5734
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5735
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5736
 
5737
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5738
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5739
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5740
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5741
      searched when looking for libraries.
5742
 
5743
Minor changes:
5744
    * GenerateFiles directive
5745
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5746
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5747
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5748
                          and drive letter
5749
 
5750
    * Src directive
5751
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5752
      directory of a package.
5753
 
5754
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5755
 
5756
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5757
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5758
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5759
 
5760
    * jats_rewrite utility
5761
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5762
 
5763
 
5764
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5765
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5766
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5767
Major changes:
5768
    * SunWorks production builds
5769
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5770
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5771
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5772
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5773
      compiler documentation.
5774
 
5775
    * MOS Toolset
5776
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5777
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5778
 
5779
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5780
 
5781
Minor changes:
5782
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5783
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5784
      This should not affect current users.
5785
 
5786
    * Mugfile generation
5787
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5788
      specified.
5789
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5790
 
5791
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5792
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5794
Major changes:
5795
    MOS Toolset
5796
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5797
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5798
 
5799
Minor changes:
5800
    * Jats wrapper script
5801
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5802
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5803
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5804
 
5805
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5806
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5807
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5808
      may be suspect.
5809
 
5810
    * GenerateFiles directive
5811
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5812
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5813
 
5814
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5815
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5816
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5817
Major changes:
5818
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5819
      build.xml files.
5820
 
5821
Minor changes:
5822
    * WIN32 toolset.
5823
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5824
 
5825
    * MakeAnt
5826
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5827
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5828
 
5829
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5830
 
5831
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5832
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5833
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5834
 
5835
    * MakeAnt directive
5836
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5837
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5838
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5839
 
5840
      Recommended usage:
5841
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5842
 
5843
Internal Changes
5844
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5845

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5849
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5850
Major changes:
5851
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5852
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5853
      files packaged into the release.
5854
 
5855
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5859
 
5860
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5861
      The recommended platform is:
5862
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5863
 
5864
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5865
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5866
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5867
      components.
5868
 
5869
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

5873
 
5874
Minor changes:
5875
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5876
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5877
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5878
      by the package to be accessed.
5879
 
5880
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5881
      application or visual studio.
5882
 
5883
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5884
      and the JATS Core path.
5885
 
5886
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5887
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5888
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5889
 
5890
    * MOS Toolset
5891
      Add support for the TPT device
5892
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5893
 
5894
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5895
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5896
 
5897
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5898
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5899
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5900
 
5901
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5902
 
5903
Internal Changes
5904
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5905
      in jats.pl
5906
 
5907
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5908
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5909
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5910
Major changes:
5911
    * JATS wrapper script
5912
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5913
 
5914
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5915
 
5916
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5917
 
5918
Minor changes:
5919
    * Deployment support
5920
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5921
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5922
 
5923
    * 'build'
5924
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5925
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5926
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5927
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5928
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5929
 
5930
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5931
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5932
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5933
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5934
                                      the link phase.
5935
 
5936
    * BuildPkgArchive
5937
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5938
      Previously these were ignored.
5939
      Minor code cleanup
5940
 
5941
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5942
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5943
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5944
 
5945
    * SOLARIS targets
5946
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5947
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5948
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5949
 
5950
    * MugFile generation
5951
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5952
      included in the final package.
5953
 
5954
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5955
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5956
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5957
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5958
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5959
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5960
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5961
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5962
 
5963
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5964
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5965
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5966
            --Option=(some_text)
5967
            --Option=[some_text]
5968
            --Option={some_text}
5969
 
5970
Internal Changes
5971
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5972
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5973
      code.

5976
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
5977
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5978
Major changes:
5979
    * JATS wrapper script
5980
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
5981
 
5982
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
5983
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
5984
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
5985
      other components.
5986
 
5987
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
5988
 
5989
    * JATS
5990
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
5991
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
5992
 
5993
    * Build operations
5994
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
5995
      if required packages are built against different versions of
5996
      packages.
5997
 
5998
    * Make operations
5999
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6000
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6001
 
6002
Minor changes:
6003
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6004
      deployment builds.
6005
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6006
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6007
 
6008
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6009
 
6010
    * build.pl
6011
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6012
        processed. Allows
6013
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6014
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6015
        production.
6016
 
6017
    * MOS toolset
6018
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6019
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6020
 
6021
    * create_dpkg utility
6022
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6023
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6024
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6025
      progress of the build.
6026
 
6027
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6028
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6029
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6030
      system.
6031
 
6032
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6033
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6035
Major changes:
6036
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6037
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6038
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6039
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6040
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6041
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6042
 
6043
    * WCEX86A500 target
6044
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6045
 
6046
    * MOS Toolsets
6047
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6048
      the compiler.
6049
 
6050
    * RunTest directive
6051
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6052
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6053
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6054
 
6055
Minor changes:
6056
    * JATS BUILD
6057
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6058
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6059
      highlight bad settings.
6060
 
6061
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6062
      access to extensions.
6063
 
6064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6065
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6067
Major changes:
6068
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6069
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6070
 
6071
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6072
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6073
      under unix.
6074
 
6075
Minor changes:
6076
    * label utility
6077
      Added options to:
6078
        o Delete a label
6079
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6080
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6081
 
6082
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6083
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6084
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6085
      Package directives.
6086
 
6087
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6088
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6089
      system.
6090
 
6091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6092
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6093
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6094
Major changes:
6095
    * MOS Toolset
6096
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6097
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6098
 
6099
    * WIN32 Toolset
6100
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6101
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6102
      list.
6103
 
6104
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6105
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6106
 
6107
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6108
 
6109
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6110
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6111
 
6112
 
6113
Minor changes:
6114
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6115
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6116
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6117
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6118
      corrected.
6119
 
6120
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6121
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6122
 
6123
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6124
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6125
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6126
 
6127
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6128
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6129
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6130
Major changes:
6131
    * WIN32 Toolset
6132
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6133
      use with multithreaded modes.
6134
 
6135
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6136
      --OnlyProd.
6137
 
6138
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6139
      within the makefile.pl.
6140
 
6141
Minor changes:
6142
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6143
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6144
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6145
      platforms.
6146
 
6147
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6148
 
6149
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6150
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6151
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6152
Major changes:
6153
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6154
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6155
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6156
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6157
 
6158
    * Preliminary Support
6159
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6160
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6161
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6162
 
6163
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6164
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6165
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6166
 
6167
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6168
      building. The default build will build both.
6169
 
6170
Minor changes:
6171
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6172
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6173
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6174
 
6175
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6176
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6177
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6178
 
6179
 
6180
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6181
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6182
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6183
Major changes:
6184
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6185
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6186
      or all.
6187
 
6188
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6189
      the library or program.
6190
 
6191
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6192
 
6193
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6194
      library or any debug files.
6195
 
6196
    * GenerateFiles
6197
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6198
 
6199
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6200
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6201
 
6202
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6203
              The filename of the prereq file
6204
 
6205
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6206
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6207
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6208
 
6209
 
6210
Minor changes:
6211
    * create_dpkg utility
6212
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6213
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6214
      the package has been altered.
6215
 
6216
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6217
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

6219
Major changes:
6220
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6221
      This is a WINCE target
6222
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6223
 
6224
    * New toolset
6225
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6226
 
6227
    * Modified toolset
6228
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6229
 
6230
    * Modified toolset
6231
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6232
 
6233
Minor changes:
6234
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6235
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6236
 
6237
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6238
 
6239
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6240
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6241
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6242
 
6243
      The change allows the construct
6244
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6245
      to be replaced by the simpler
6246
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6247
 
6248
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6249
      specified name.    
6250

6269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6270
Major changes:
6271
    * The "package.pl" file.
6272
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6273
      package name being taken from the build name
6274
 
6275
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6276
      package Build Name.
6277
 
6278
Minor changes:
6279
    * create_dpkg utility

    * Dependancy generator
6289
      Correct two common situations
6290
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6291
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6292
           ansi, but is often done.
6293
 
6294
    * GCC toolset
6295
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6296
      being created in the correct place.
6297
 
6298
    * jats "label"
6299
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6300
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6301
 
6302
 
6303
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6304
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6305
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6306
Major changes:
6307
 
6308
Minor changes:
6309
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6310
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6311
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6312
 
6313
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6314
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6315
 
6316
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6317
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the

6323
Major changes:
6324
    * Support for solaris_i386
6325
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6326
      binaries for this target.
6327
 
6328
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6329
      with the GCC compiler.
6330
 
6331
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6332
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6333
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6334
 
6335
Minor changes:
6336
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6337
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6338
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6339
 
6340
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6341
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6346
Major changes:
6347
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6348
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6349
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6350
 
6351
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6352
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6353
 
6354
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6355
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6356
      with either " or ' characters.
6357
 
6358
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6359
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6360
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6361
 
6362
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6363
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6364
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6365
 
6366
    * Jats wrapper
6367
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6368
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6369
      further commands.
6370
 
6371
Minor changes:
6372
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6373
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6374
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6375
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6376

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6378
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6379
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6380
Major changes:
6381
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6382
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6383
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6384
 
6385
      These options operation affect all components within the
6386
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6387
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6388
 
6389
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6390
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6391
 
6392
Minor changes:
6393
 
6394
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6395
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6397
Major changes:
6398
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6399
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6400
 
6401
Minor changes:
6402
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6403
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6404
 
6405
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6406
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6407
 
6408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6409
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6410
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6411
Major changes:
6412
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6413
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6414
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6415
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6416
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6417
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6418
      installed.
6419
 
6420
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6421
      libraries that depend on each other.
6422
 
6423
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6424
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6425
 
6426
Minor changes:
6427
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6428
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6429
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6430
 
6431
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6432
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6433
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6434
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6435
 
6436
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6437
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6438
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6439
Major changes:
6440
 
6441
Minor changes:
6442
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6443
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6444
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6445
      file.
6446
 
6447
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6448
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6449
 
6450
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6451
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6452
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6453
 
6454
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6455
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6456
 
6457
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6458
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6459
 
6460
    * WinCE toolsets
6461
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6462
      compiler specific libraries.
6463
 
6464
    * SOLARIS toolset
6465
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6466
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6467
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6468
 
6469
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6470
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6471
      cleaned up.
6472
 
6473
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6474
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6475
 
6476
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6477
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6478
      with either " or ' characters.
6479
 
6480
 
6481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6482
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6483
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6484
Major changes:
6485
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6486
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6487
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6488
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6489
 
6490
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6491
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6492
 
6493
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6494
      user.
6495
 
6496
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6497
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6498
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6499
 
6500
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6501
      for the   -Gf option.
6502
 
6503
Minor changes:
6504
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6505
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6506
 
6507
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6508
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6509
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6510
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6511
 
6512
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6513
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6514
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6515
Major changes:
6516
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6517
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6518
 
6519
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6520
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6521
      data addresses for the board.
6522
 
6523
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6524
 
6525
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6526
 
6527
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6528
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6529
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6530
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6531
         PackageFile
6532
 
6533
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6534
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6535
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6536
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6537
 
6538
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6539
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6540
      to be installed and packaged.
6541
 
6542
Minor changes:
6543
 
6544
    * cache_dpkg utility
6545
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6546
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6547
 
6548
    * label utility
6549
      New option -auto to create and label
6550
 
6551
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6552
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6553
 
6554
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6555
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6556
      directory. ie:
6557
 
6558
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6559
 
6560
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6561
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6562
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6563
 
6564
 
6565
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6566
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6568
Major changes:
6569
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6570
 
6571
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6572
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6573
 
6574
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6575
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6576
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6577
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6578
 
6579
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6580
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6581
      compilation.
6582
 
6583
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6584
 
6585
Minor changes:
6586
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6587
      one is being produced.
6588
 
6589
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6590
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6591
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6592
 
6593
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6594
 
6595
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6596
 
6597
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6598
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6599
 
6600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6601
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6602
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6603
Major changes:
6604
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6605
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6606
 
6607
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6608
 
6609
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6610
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6611
      same directory
6612
 
6613
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6614
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6615
      documenattion.
6616
 
6617
Minor changes:
6618
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6619
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6620
 
6621
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6622
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6623
 
6624
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6625
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6626
 
6627
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6628
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6629
 
6630
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6631
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6632
      be exempt from this test.
6633
 
6634
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6635
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6636
 
6637
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6638
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6639
 
6640
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6641
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6642
      does.
6643
 
6644
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6645
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6646
 
6647
 
6648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6649
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6651
Major changes:
6652
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6653
 
6654
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6655
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6656
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6657
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6658
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6659
 
6660
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6661
      operations.
6662
 
6663
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6664
 
6665
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6666
 
6667
Minor changes
6668
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6669
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6670
 
6671
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6672
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6673
      directory is not added to the library path.
6674
 
6675
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6676
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6677
 
6678
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6679
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6680
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6681
 
6682
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6683
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6684
      specific flags.
6685
 
6686
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6687
 
6688
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6689
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6690
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6691
 
6692
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6693
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6694
      JATS.
6695
 
6696
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6697
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6698
 
6699
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6700
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6701
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6702
 
6703
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6704
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6705
 
6706
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6707
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6708
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6709
 
6710
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6711
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6712
 
6713
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6714
 
6715
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6716
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6717
 
6718
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6719
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6720
      objects.
6721
 
6722
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6723
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6724
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6725
      build defendants.
