4003 dpurdie 150
Version:  3.2.2000.cr                               Released: 27-Aug-13
151
------------------------------------------------------------------------
152
Major changes:
153
 
154
Minor changes:
155
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
156
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
157
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
158
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
159
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
160
 
161
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
162
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.
163
 
164
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3987 dpurdie 165
Version:  3.2.1000.cr                               Released: 16-Aug-2013

167
Major changes:
168
 
169
Minor changes:
170
    * Utility: update_release
171
      Added options:
172
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
173
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
174
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
175
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
176
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
177
      Report filter elements that are not used.
178
 
179
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
180
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
181
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
182
 
183
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
184
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
185
 
186
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3967 dpurdie 187
Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
189
Major changes:
190
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
191
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
192
      intended to build deployed software.
193
 
194
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
195
      the DEVLINUX alias.
196
 
197
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
198
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
199
 
200
Minor changes:
201
    * Jats wrapper script
202
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
203
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
204
      Subversion instance of the command.
205
 
206
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
207
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
208
 
209
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
210
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
211
 
212
    * Utility: jats upddep
213
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
214
      file under windows.
215
 
216
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
217
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
218
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
219
 
220
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
221
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
222
 
223
    * GCC Toolchain
224
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.
225

Version:  3.1.9000.cr                               Released: 21-Jun-13
228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
229
Major changes:
230
    * Jira Issue: JATS-274: Long view name causes legacy package to
231
                            fail to daemon build
232
      Create shorter viewnames when extracting Subversion workspace
233
 
3967 dpurdie 234
    * Documentation
3859 dpurdie 235
      Document the EnvVar ANT_HOME  
236

3832 dpurdie 239
------------------------------------------------------------------------
240
Major changes:
241
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
242
      Support for Intellect PAX.
243
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
244
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
245
 
246
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
247
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.
248
 
249
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3559 dpurdie 250
Version:  3.1.7000.cr                               Released: 03-May-13
251
------------------------------------------------------------------------
252
Major changes:
3564 dpurdie 253
    * New Platform: VSDEVRC
254
      Uses an MSP430G2553 processor, a member of the Texas Instruments MSP430
255
      family
3559 dpurdie 256
 
257
Minor changes:
258
    * Utility: jats sandbox
259
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
260
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
261
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
262
      line.
263
 
264
    * Jats Configuration
265
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
266
 
267
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
268
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
269
      and Linux.
270
 
271
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
272
      correctly rippled.
273
 
274
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3347 dpurdie 275
Version:  3.1.6000.cr                               Released: 05-Apr-13
276
------------------------------------------------------------------------
277
Major changes:
278
 
279
Minor changes:
280
    * Jats Core
281
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
282
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
283
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
284
 
285
    * Utility: svnsave_build
286
      Used only by the build daemons.
287
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
288
 
289
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
290
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
291
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
292
 
293
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3045 dpurdie 294
Version:  3.1.5000.cr                               Released: 13-Feb-13 
295
------------------------------------------------------------------------
296
Major changes:
297
 
298
Minor changes:
299
    * svnrelease utility
300
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
301
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
302
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
303
 
304
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
305
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
306
      the named tag.
307
 
308
    * svnrelease utility
309
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
310
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.
311
 
312

      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
320
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
321
        covered by the makefile.
322
 
323
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
324
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
325
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
326
 
327
    * ALL Toolsets
328
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
329
 
330
    * Utility vcsdiff
331
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
332
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
333
      the default use of BeyondCompare.
334
 
335

342
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
343
      directory of the tag.
344
 
345
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
346
      repository.
347
 
348
    * Subversion Support
349
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
350
      showing the user what to do.
351
 
352
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
353
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
354
      we have build support for this target.
355
 
356
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
357
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
358
 
359
Internal:
360
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
361
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.

      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
363
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

377
Major changes:
378
 
379
Minor changes:
380
    * Makefile generation
381
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
382
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
383
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
384
      of warnings.
385
 
386
    * Makefile Generation
387
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

Version:  3.1.0000.cr                               Released: 08-Nov-12
2429 dpurdie 395
------------------------------------------------------------------------
396
Major changes:
397
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
398
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
399
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
400
      these operations with a dedicated program.
401
 
402
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
403
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
404
      windows path scheme.
405
 
406
Minor changes:
407
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
408
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
409
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
410
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
411
 
412
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
413
        jats make clobber
414
      This operates as before.
415
 
416
    * Utility: escrow
417
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
418
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
419
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
420
 
421
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
422
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
423
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
424
 
425
    * Utility: svn : url
426
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
427
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
428
 
429
    * Utility: svn : import
430
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
431
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
432
 
433
    * Subversion Support
434
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
435
      showing the user what to do.
436
 
437
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
438
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
439
      repositories.
440
 
441
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2078 dpurdie 442
Version:  3.0.5000.cr                               Released: 05-Oct-12

------------------------------------------------------------------------
444
 
445
Minor changes:
446
    * Jats build
447
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
448
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
449
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
450
 
451
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 452
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 453
 
454
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages

464
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
465
                 Can also display available branches.
466
 
2054 dpurdie 467
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
468
      Added '-keepgoing' option to allow the user to ignore errors

471
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
472
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
473
 
474
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
475
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
476
      Modified two options:
477
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
478
                        The named branch must not exist
479
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
480
                        The named branch must exist
481
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

515
 
516
Major changes:
517
    * Jats Version Number
518
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
519

520
      significantly.
521
 
522
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
532
Major changes:
533
    * Subversion support
534
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
535
      SubVersion. Changes include:
536
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
537
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
538
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
539
 
540
Minor changes:
541
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
542
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
543
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
544
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.

546
 
547
    * Utility: svnsave_build
548
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
549
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
550
 
551
    * Linux support utilities
552
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
553
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
554
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

558
------------------------------------------------------------------------
559
Major changes:
560
    * Subversion Repository location
561
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
562
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
563
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
564
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
565
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
566
 
567
Minor changes:
568
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
569
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
570
 
571
    * Utility: svnrelease
572
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
573
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
574
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
575
 
576
    * Utility: svnsave_build
577
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
578
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
579
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
580
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
581
 
582
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
583
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
584
 
585
    * Utility: sandbox
586
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
587
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
588
 
589
      Subcommand: populate
590
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
591
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
592
      sandbox.
593
 
594
    * Subversion Support
595
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
596
      repository is not supported.
597
 
598
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
599
      a progress indication.
600
 
601
    * Jats Online Documentation
602
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
603
      online documentation.
604
 
605
    * Generated makefiles
606
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

654
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 655
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 656
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
657
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
658
 
659
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 660
      Specialized platform for the VIX 'ITP' product.

682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
683
Major changes:
684
 
685
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
686
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
687
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
688
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
689
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
690
 
691
    * C# Toolchain
692
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

702
 
703
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
704
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
705
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
706
 
707
    * Utility ccrelease
708
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
709
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
710
 
711
    * Utility: svn
712
      Improved package import processing.
713
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
714

      ClearCase is supported on Windows.
719
 
720
    * Jats Utility: vcsdiff
721
      New Utility. Will diff two versions of a package. Supports
722
      mixed ClearCase and Subversion versions.

740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
741
Major changes:
742
 
743
Minor changes:
744
    * Command: jats clobber
745
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
746
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
747
 
748
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
749
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
750
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
751
 
752
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
753
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
754
 
377 dpurdie 755
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
756
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
757
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 758
 
759
    * jats svnlabel
760
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
761
 
762
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
763
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
764
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
765
 
766
    * Built Daemon support
767
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
768
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
769
 
770
------------------------------------------------------------------------
373 dpurdie 771
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
772
------------------------------------------------------------------------
773
Major changes:
774
    * GCC Toolset
775
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
776
      New methodology is:
777
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
778
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
779
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
780
        as the main binary.
781
 
782
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
783
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
784
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
785
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
786
      both worlds.
787
 
788
Minor changes:
789
    * HTML Documentation
790
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
791
 
792
Internal changes:
793
    * Generated makefiles
794
      Removed the make_usage target as it is inaccessible. It was replaced by
795
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.
796

920
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
921
 
922
    * jats build -noforce
923
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
924
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
925
      be forced.
926
 
927
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
928
 
929
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
930
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
931
 
932
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
933
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
934
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
935
 
936
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
937
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
938
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
939
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.

      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
943
      provide a cleaner workspace name.

945
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
946
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.

949
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
950
      installed and can be used.

952
    * Toolset: CSharp
953
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
954
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
955
      character.
956
 
957
    * Toolset: SunWorks
958
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
959
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
960
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
961
      masking an error.
962
 
963
    * Toolset: Delphi7
964
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
965
      enhancement.

972
        - Return correct path to package
973
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
974
 
975
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
976
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
977
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.

    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
980
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent

    * make command: show
984
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
985
      'jats make show' command.
986
 
987
    * Utility: create_dpkg
988
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
989
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
990
 
991
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
992
      executed on Unix machines.

1203
 
1204
    * MergeLibrary directive
1205
      New sub-option --InterfacePlain
1206
      This will allow the use of 3rd party libraries that do not have a P or D
1207
      suffix in the library name.
1208
 
1209
    * GenerateFiles directive
1210
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
1211
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
1212
 
1213
    * BuildPlatform
1214
      New option: --NoToolSet
1215
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
1216
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
1217
 
1218
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
1219
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
1220
      need toolset specific information.
1221
 
1222
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
1223
 
1224
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
1225
 
1226
Internal:
1227
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
1228
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
1229
      processing into jats.pl
1230
 
1231
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
1232
      a ClearCase site.

1333
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
1334
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
1335
      resulting in multiple builds.
1336
 
1337
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
1338
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
1339
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
1340
 
1341

1342
 
1343
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
1344
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
1345

Major changes:
1351
 
1352
Minor changes:
1353
    * Jats label command
1354
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1355
      Not recommended for general use.
1356
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1357
      directories within the current view.
1358
 
1359
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1360
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1361
      elsewhere.
1362
 
1363
    * Jats save_build
1364
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1365
      the determination of a branch.
1366
 
1367
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1368
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1369
 
1370
    * Jats build
1371
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1372
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1373
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1374
 
1375
    * Borland6 toolset
1376
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1377
      to match the documented install location of:
1378
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1379
 
1380
    * Jats build
1381
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1382
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1383
      This is a very quick operation.
1384
 
1385
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1386
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1387
 
1388
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1389
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1390
      files are only recreated if need be.
1391
 
1392
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1393
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1394
      make the package.
1395
 
1396
    * Jats sandbox
1397
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1398
 
1399
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1400
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1401
 
1402
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1403
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1404
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1405
      is performed.
1406
 
1407
Internal:
1408
    * build.pl
1409

Minor changes:
1444
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1445
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1446
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1447
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1448
 
1449
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1450
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1451
 
1452
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1453
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1454
      platform builds.
1455
 
1456
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1457
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1458
      directory tree.
1459
 
1460
    * New command: jats man
1461
      Produces full help on a specified item.

1473
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1474
Major changes:
1475
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1476
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1477
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1478
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1479
 
1480
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1481
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1482
 
1483
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1484
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1485
 
1486
      Examples:
1487
            jats upddep -show
1488
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1489
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1490
 
1491
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1492
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1493
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1494
 
1495
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1496
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1497
 
1498
Minor changes:
1499
 
1500
Internal changes:
1501
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

1506
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1507
Major changes:
1508
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1509
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1510
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1511
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1512
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1513
      stream.
1514
 
1515
      Example:
1516
 
1517
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1518
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1519
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1520
                     );
1521
Minor changes:
1522
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1523
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1524
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1525
      directive.
1526
 
1527
    * GCC Toolkit
1528
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1529
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1530
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1531
      the point of termination.
1532
 
1533
    * Jats save_build utility
1534
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1535
      under windows.
1536
 
1537
    * Jats sandbox
1538
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1539
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1540
      in different sandboxes.
1541
 
1542
    * Jats release
1543
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1544

      directory.
1555
 
1556
    * jats label utility
1557
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1558
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1559
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1560
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1561
 
1562
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1573
        noExceptions            - Disable
1574
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1575
      Example:
1576
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1577
 
1578
    * Solaris targets
1579
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1580
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1581
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1582
      machine type.

      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1590
      project files.
1591
 
1592
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1593
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1594
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1595
 
1596
Minor changes:
1597

1598
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1599
 
1600
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1601
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1602
 
1603
    * Jats save_build utility
1604
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1605
      under windows.
1606
 
1607
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1608
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1609
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1610
      libraries.
1611
 
1612
    * Solaris builds
1613
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1614
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1615
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1616
      of the build failure.
1617
 
1618
 
1619
Internal changes:
1620
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1621
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1622
 
1623
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1624
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
1628
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1629
Major changes:
1630
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1631
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1632
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1633
      existing 32-bit builds.
1634
 
1635
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1636
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1637
 
1638
Minor changes:
1639
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1640
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1641
 
1642
    * Package searching
1643
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1644
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1645
 
1646
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1647
 
1648
    * jats help
1649
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1650
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1651
 
1652
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1653
      with one of:
1654
        jats -h
1655
        jats help jats
1656
 
1657
Internal:
1658
    * cmdfile utility
1659
      Added macros:
1660
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1661
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1662
 
1663
      Corrected
1664
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1665
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1666
 
1667
      Extended
1668
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1669
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1670
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1671
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Major changes:
1677
 
1678
Minor changes:
1679
 
1680
Internal changes
1681
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1682
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1683
      Useful side effects include:
1684
 
1685
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1686
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1687
 
1688
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1689
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1690
 
1691
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1692
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1693
        BuildPkgArchive
1694
 
313 dpurdie 1695
    * Perl Modules
1696
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1697
      release. This will:
1698
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1699
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1700
          reported by ERG.
1701
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Major changes:
1707
 
1708
Minor changes:
1709
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1710
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1711
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1712
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1713
 
1714
    * Jats label utility
1715
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1716
 
1717
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1718
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1719
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1720
 
1721
    * Jats core
1722
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1723
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1724
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1733
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1734
      This is now fixed.
1735
 
309 dpurdie 1736
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1737
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1738
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1739
 
1740
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1741
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

1748
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1749
    * Generating makefiles
1750
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1751
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1752
      an error.
1753
 
1754
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1755
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1756
 
1757
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1758
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1764
Major changes:
1765
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1766
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1767
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1768
 
1769
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1770
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1771
 
1772
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1773
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1774
      Support includes
1775
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1776
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1777
 
1778
Minor changes:
1779
    * Build file processing
1780
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1781
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1782
 
1783
    * MOS builds
1784
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1785
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1786
 
1787
    * MOS builds
1788
      New 'known' product: PICP
1789
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1790
 
1791
    * GenerateFiles directive
1792
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1793
        under windows.
1794
 
1795
        .
1796
 
1797
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1798
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1799
 
1800
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1801
      to the output stream.
1802
 
1803
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1804
 
1805
    * Windows Shell
1806
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1807
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1808
 
1809
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1810
 
1811
    * H8S toolset
1812
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1813
 
1814
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1815
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1816
 
1817
Internal changes
1818
    * WinCe builds
1819
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1820
      content of the file.
1821
 
1822
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1823
 
1824
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1825
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1837
Major changes:
1838
 
1839
Minor changes:
1840
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1841
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1842
      Changes are transparent to users.
1843
 
1844
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1845
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1846
      this occurs.
1847
 
1848
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1849
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1850
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1851
      automated build framework.
1852
 
1853
    * jats sandbox command
1854
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1855
      'create' command.
1856
 
1857
    * jats command aliases. Added
1858
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1859
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1864
Major changes:
1865
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1866
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1867
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1868
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1869
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1870
      will work as expected
1871
 
1872
Minor changes:
1873
    * VS2008 Toolset
1874
      Picking up incorrect config details
1875
      May result in a warning message.
1876
 
1877
    * gen_cots utility
1878
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1879
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1880
 
1881
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1882
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1930
Major changes:
1931
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1932
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1933
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1934
 
1935
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1936
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1937
 
1938
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1939
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1940
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1941
           names cannot be changed.
1942
 
1943
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1944
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1945
 
1946
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1947
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1948
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1949
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1950
 
1951
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1952
      file.
1953
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1954
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1955
      MyPackage.dpk.
1956
 
1957
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1958
      file.
1959
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1960
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1961
      MyDll.dpr.
1962
 
1963
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1964
      file.
1965
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1966
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1967
      MyProg.dpr.
1968
 
1969
Minor changes:
1970
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1971
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1972
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1973
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1974
 
1975
    * BuildVersion directive
1976
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1977
      in a Delphi Unit.
1978
 
1979
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1980
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1981
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1982
      'know' the location of the files.
1983
 
1984
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
1985
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
1986
 
1987
Internal Changes:
1988
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
1989
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
1990
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
1991
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
1992
 
1993
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
1994
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
1995
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000
Major changes:
2001
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2002
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2003
      information for purely C++ builds.
2004
 
289 dpurdie 2005
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2006
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2007
 
289 dpurdie 2008
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order

2010
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2011
 
2012
Minor changes:
2013

2057
      used in the build.
2058
 
2059
    * Escrow command
2060
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2061
 
2062
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2063
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2064
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2065
 
2066
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2067
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

277 dpurdie 2071
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2072
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2073
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2074
 
279 dpurdie 2075
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2076
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2077
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2078
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2079
 
2080
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2081
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2082
 
2083
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2084
 
2085
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2086
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2087
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2088
 
2089
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2090
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2091
        processed.
2092
 
2093
      Removed the '-delete' option
2094
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2095
 
277 dpurdie 2096
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2097
    * Sandbox command
2098
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2099
 
2100
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2101
      target from consideration in the build set.
2102
 
2103
    * MCR Toolset
2104
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2105
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2106
 
2107
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2108
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2109
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2110
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2111
 
2112
    * Jats run_test command
2113
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2114
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2115
 
2116
    * descpkg file
2117
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2118
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2119
 
2120
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2121
     Now contains build trace information
2122
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2123
 
2124
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2125
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2126
     it contains 'jar' files.
2127
 
2128
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2129
 
2130
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2131
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2132
 
2133
   * BuildVersion directive
2134
     Form:
2135
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2136
     now works as expected.
2137
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2138
 
2139
Internal Changes:
2140
 
2141
    * Error reporting mechanism
2142
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2143
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2144
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

2156
    then starts.
2157
 
2158
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2159
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2160
 
2161
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2162
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2163
    non-platform option.
2164
 
279 dpurdie 2165
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

2304
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2305
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
2306

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
2320
 
2321
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
2322
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
2323
 
2324
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
2325

        define_source_file              (Default)
2328
 
2329
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2330
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2331
 
2332
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
2333
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
2334
      compatibility.
2335
 
2336
    * Jats directives: MakeProject

2340
            --InstallProg=list
2341
 
2342
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
2343
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
2344
      GenerateCab.
2345
 
2346
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags

2393
      of XDR based modules.
2394
 
2395
    * Jats GenerateFiles directive
2396
      New option '--PreDelete' will delete all generated files before
2397
      the generator process is run. This may be used in cases where the
2398
      generator process does not operate if the output files already exist,
2399
      such as the rpcgen utility.
2400
 
2401

2478
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
2479
      time.
2480
 
2481
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
2482
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

2495
 
2496
Internal Changes:
2497
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
2498
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2499
      Previously was being done at two places
2500
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2501
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
2502
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
2503
 
2504
    * JATS make: Command line
2505
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2506

2514
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
2515
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
2516
        + Consistent use of option parsing
2517

2540
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
2541
 
2542
    * FileUtils package.
2543
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.

2563
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2564
 
2565
Minor changes:
2566
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2567
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

2577
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2578
 
2579
      New platforms:
2580
        CSHARP2005
2581
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2582
         Support extends to allow:
2583
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2584
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2585
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2586
 
2587
        VS2005
2588
         Support extends to allow:
2589
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2590
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2591
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2592
 
2593
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2594
      through a version selector:
2595
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2596
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2597
 
2598
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2599
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2600
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2601
 
2602
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2603
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2604
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2605
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2606
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2607
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2608
          under VS2005.
2609
 
2610
Minor changes:
2611
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
2612
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
2613
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
2614
 
2615
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2616
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2617
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2618
 
2619
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2620
 
2621
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2622
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2623
 
2624
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2625
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2626
      a minimal value of perl.
2627
 
2628
      Removed excessive require statements.
2629
 
2630
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2631
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2632
      Include JATS specific files for
2633
        1) Windows
2634
        2) Linux
2635
 
2636
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2637
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2638
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2639
      machines.
2640
 
2641
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2642
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2643
 
2644
    * JATS Environment

      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2646
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2647
 
2648
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2649
      wrapper scripts.
2650
 
2651
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2652
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2653
      Spell check help and code.

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

    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2759
        * CSharp
2760
        * Properties
2761
        * WinRC
2762
 
2763
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2764
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2765
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2766
    Value is correctly assigned.

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
2770
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2771
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2772
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2773
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2774
 
2775
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2776
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2777
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2778
 
2779
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2780
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2781
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2782
 
2783
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2784
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2785
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2786
 
2787
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2788
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2789
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2790
    correct.
2791
 
2792
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2793
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2794
 
2795
Minor changes:
2796
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2797
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2798
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2799
 
2800
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2801
    This will simplify new user setup.
2802
 
2803
  * All Unix Toolsets
2804
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2805
    on unix systems
2806
 
2807
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2808
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2809
    on some Solaris Machines.
2810
 
2811
  * JATS -version=<version>
2812
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2813
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2814

      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
2822
 
2823
Minor changes:
2824
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
2825
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets

2834
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
2835
 
2836
    * Misc Cleanup
2837
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

2856
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
2857
 
2858
  * JATS builds
2859
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
2860
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
2861
    mode.
2862
 
2863
  * JATS makefiles
2864
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2865
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2866
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2867
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2868
                            SetList directive.
2869

        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
2878
 
2879
  * JATS buildfile processing
2880
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
2881
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
2882
    of JATS.
2883
 
2884
  * JATS save_build utility
2885
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
2886
    which may be reserved.

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
2914
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
2915
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
2916
 
2917
    * MOS Toolset
2918
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
2919
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
2920
 
2921
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

2929
 
2930
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
2931
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
2932
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
2933
      Previously only worked on Windows

    * Extract/Release utility.
2968
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
2969
      that can handle spaces
2970
 
2971
    * MOS Compiler
2972
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2973
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
2974
 
2975
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2976
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
2977
      descpkg files to be copied.
2978
 
2979
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
2980
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
2981
 
2982
    * JATS ANT command
2983
      Better selection of the ant build file
2984
 
2985
    * Build directive: BuildVersion
2986
      Extended the WinRc version file to allow the name of an icon to be
2987
      embedded in the .RC file.

    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
2996
 
2997
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
2998
      <project> field.
2999
 
3000

3013
 
3014
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3015
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3016
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3017
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3018
 
3019
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3020
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3021
 
3022
    * Jats wrapper
3023
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3024
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3025

3028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3029
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3030
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3031
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3032
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3033
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3034
 
3035
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3036
 
3037
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3038
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3039
 
3040
    * Running Jats
3041
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3042
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3043
      This may affect some windows developers.
3044
 
3045
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3046
      Future versions will generate an error.
3047
 
3048
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3049
 
3050
Minor changes:
3051
    * Perl Version Check
3052
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3053
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3054
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3055
 
3056
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3057
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3058
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3059
      build.
3060
 
3061
    * Jats Internals
3062
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3063
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3064
 
3065
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3066
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3067
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3068
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3069
      process.
3070
 
3071
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3072
      Only works under Windows.
3073
 
3074
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3075
 
3076
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3077
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3078
 
3079
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3080
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3081
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3082
 
3083
    * Jats eprog
3084
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3085
      directory.
3086
 
3087
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3088
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3089
      build metrics.
3090
 
3091

3094
Major changes:
3095
 
3096
Minor changes:
3097
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3098
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3099
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3100
      automated build system. New options are:
3101
        -pname=Package_Name
3102
        -pversion=Package_Version
3103
 
3104
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3105
      transferring the package. New options are:
3106
        -test
3107
 
3108
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3109
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3110
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3111
 
3112
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3113
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3114
 
3115
    * Solaris Toolset
3116
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3117
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3118
      programs are still supported.
3119

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3123
Major changes:
3124
 
3125
Minor changes:
3126
    * WINCE toolsets
3127
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3128
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3129
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3130
      when header files cannot be found.
3131
 
3132
    * GenerateFiles directive
3133
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3134
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3135
      that are difficult to solve.
3136
 
3137
    * MakePerlModule directive
3138
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3139
      to the the module builder.
3140
 
3141
    * Jats Tool: label
3142
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3143
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3144
      -dirs=xxx options.
3145
 
3146
    * Jats Tool: release
3147
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3148
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3149
 
3150
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3151
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3152
 
3153
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3154
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3155
      uploaded to CodeStriker.

3245
 
3246
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3247
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3248
 
3249
    * gcc toolset
3250
      SharedLibries.
3251
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3252
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3253
 
3254
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3255
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3256
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3257
 
3258
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3259
        New options:
3260
            --MultiScan
3261
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3262
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3263
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

3269
Major changes:
3270
 
3271
Minor changes:
3272
    PackageLib directive
3273
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3274
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3275
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3276
 
3277
    MakefileGenerate directive
3278
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3279
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3280
 
3281
    Multiple Parent detection
3282
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3283
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3284
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3285
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3286
 
3287
    Solaris Toolset
3288
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3289
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3290
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3291
    link.
3292
 
3293
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3294
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3295
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3296
 
3297
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3298
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3299
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3300
    file.

3304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3305
Major changes:
3306
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3307
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3308
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3309
 
3310
    Summary of changes:
3311
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3312
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3313
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3314
          flexibility.
3315
 
3316
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3317
 
3318
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3319
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3320
          interface directory and associated build information.
3321
 
3322
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3323
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3324
          than one second.
3325
 
3326
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3327
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3328
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3329
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3330
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3331
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3332
 
3333
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3334
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3335
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3336
 
3337
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3338
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3339
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3340
          building them.
3341
 
3342
        - Detection of build file changes
3343
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3344
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3345
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3346
 
3347
        - Quieter make output
3348
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3349
 
3350
 
3351
Minor changes:
3352
    MakeAnt Directive
3353
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3354
 
3355
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3356
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3357
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3358
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3359
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3360
 
3361
    CSHARP toolset
3362
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3363

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3371
    are generated.
3372
 
3373
    MakeAnt
3374
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3375
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3376
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3377
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3378
 
3379
    MCR platform

    MakeAnt directive extended
3390
    New option: --PackageBase
3391
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3392
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3393
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3394
 
3395
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3396
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3397
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3398
        package image being created.

3418
 
3419
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3420
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3421
 
3422
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3423
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3424
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3425
 
3426
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3427
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3428
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3429

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3458
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3459
 
3460
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3461
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3462
      last.
3463
 
3464
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3465
 
3466
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3467
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3468
 
3469
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3470
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3471
 
3472
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3473
 
3474
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3475
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3476
 
3477
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3478
 
3479
 
3480
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3481

      dependent packages.
3495
 
3496

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3505
Major changes:
3506
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3507
 
3508
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3509
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3510
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3511
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3512
      path.
3513
 
3514
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3515
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3516
      reproducible.
3517
 
3518
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3519
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3520
 
3521
      There are several aspects to the change
3522
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3523
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3524
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3525
 
3526
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3527
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3528
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3529
          controlled separately.
3530
 
3531
Minor changes:
3532
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3533
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3534
        Remove duplicates
3535
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH

    * Makefile sanity test
3544

3545
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3546
 
3547
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3548
      x86 machine.
3549
 
3550
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3551
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3552
 
3553
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3554
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3555
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3556
Major changes:
3557
    * RunTest directive
3558
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3559
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3560
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3561
 
3562
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3563
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3564
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3565
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3566
 
3567
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3568
        builder within the current toolset.
3569
 
3570
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3571
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3572
 
3573
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3574
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3575
      containing the RunTest directive.
3576
 
3577
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3578
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3579
 
3580
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3581
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3582
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3583
 
3584
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3585
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3586
                            P or D suffix.
3587
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3588
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3589
 
3590
Minor changes:
3591
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3592
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3593
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3594
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3595
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3596
 
3597
    * Save Build Utility
3598
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3599
      used in a ripple build.
3600
 
3601
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3602
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3603
 
3604
    * Release Utility
3605
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3606
      when an error is encountered.
3607
 
3608
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3609
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3610
 
3611
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3612
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3613
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3614
 
3615
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3616
      before the makefiles are created.
3617
 
3618
    * TestProg directive
3619
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3620
 
3621
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3622
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3623
 
3624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3625
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
3626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3627
Major changes:
3628
    * New build target
3629
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3630
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3631
 
3632
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3633
            DEVLINUX
3634
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3635
 
3636
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3637
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3638
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3639
 
3640
Minor changes:
3641
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3642
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3643
 
3644
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3645
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3646
 
3647
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3648
      and .cs files.
3649
 
3650
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3651
      thing.
3652
 
3653
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3654
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3655
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3656
      were it places temp files.
3657
 
3658
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3659
      interaction with other builds.
3660
 
3661
    * Release utility command
3662
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3663
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3664
      component in the clearcase tag name.
3665

3675
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
3676
    libraries
3677
 
3678
Minor changes:
3679
  * Unit Tests
3680
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3681
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3682
 
3683
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3684
    as a Script.

Major changes:
3713
 
3714
Minor changes:
3715
  * WINCE Support
3716
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3717
 
3718
  * Removed the following targets
3719
        TP5600
3720
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3721
        TP5600_EMU
3722
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3723
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3724
 
3725
  * Deployment
3726
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3727
 
3728
  * build.pl
3729
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3730
 
3731
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3732
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3733
 
3734
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3735
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3736
    build.
3737
 
3738
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3739
 
3740
  * Tool: escrow
3741
     New features
3742
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3743
     are not in the SBOM.
3744
 
3745
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3746
 
3747
     Specify packages to be ignored.
3748

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3751
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3752
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3753
Major changes:
3754
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3755
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3756
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3757
 
3758
  * GenerateFiles
3759
    Added the options:
3760
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3761
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3762
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3763
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3764
 
3765
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3766
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3767
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3768
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3769
                                  required.
3770
 
3771
 
3772
Minor changes:
3773
  * GenerateFile directive
3774
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3775
 
3776
  * GCC Toolset
3777
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3778
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3779
    be rebuilt.
3780
 
3781
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3782
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3783
 
3784
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3785
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3786
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3787
Major changes:
3788
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3789
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3790
    environment variables.
3791
 
3792
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3793
            moved.
3794
 
3795
    This will affect users that:
3796
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3797
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3798
 
3799
        2) Use the ABT system
3800
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3801
           the required configuration
3802
 
3803
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3804
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3805
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3806
    Windows
3807
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3808
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3809
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3810
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3811
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3812
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3813
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3814
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3815
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3816
 
3817
 
3818
  * New build platforms
3819
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3820
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3821
 
3822
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3823
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3824
 
3825
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3826
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3827
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3828
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3829
 
3830
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3831
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3832
    release.
3833
 
3834
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3835
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3836
 
3837
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3838
    need to be converted.
3839
 
3840
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3841
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3842
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3843
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3844
    used for different targets platforms.
3845
 
3846
  * Sandbox support
3847
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3848
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3849
 
3850
    New command: jats sandbox ...

3856
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
3857
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3858
Major changes:
3859
  * MakeAnt directive
3860
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3861
 
3862
    New options
3863
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3864
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3865
 
3866
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3867
    run_unit_tests phase.
3868
 
3869
  * Sandbox support
3870
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3871
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3872
 
3873
Minor changes:
3874
  * jats build
3875
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3876
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3877
 
3878
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3879
 
3880
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3881
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3882
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3883
 
3884
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3885
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3886
 
3887
  * JATS.BAT
3888
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3889
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3890
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3891
 
3892
  * jats label
3893
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3894
 
3895
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3896
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3897
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3898
Major changes:
3899
  * New build platform:
3900
        LMOS_TP5600
3901
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3902
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3903
 
3904
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3905
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3906
    describe the group of platforms.
3907
 
3908
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3909
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3910
    build these targets.
3911
 
3912
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3913
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3914
 
3915
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3916
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3917
 
3918
  * New build platform: WINCE
3919
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3920
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3921
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3922
 
3923
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3924
            WCEIT3000
3925
            WCEPA961
3926
            WCEPA962
3927
            WCEPCM7220
3928
            WCEPSION_420
3929
            WCEPSPC_arm
3930
            WCEPSPC_emu
3931
            WCEX86A420
3932
            WCEX86A500
3933
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
3934
 
3935
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3936
 
3937
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3938
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3939
    that contain packaging directives.
3940
 
3941
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3942
    very unusual configurations.
3943
 
3944
Minor changes:
3945
  * Directive: PackageFile
3946
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3947
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3948
    an '='.
3949
 
3950
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3951
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3952
 
3953
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3954
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3955
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3956
 
3957
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3958
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3959
 
3960
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3961
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3962
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3963
Major changes:
3964
 
3965
  * JATS release command
3966
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3967
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3968
 
3969
    Rules are:
3970
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3971
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3972
                            File will be placed on a branch
3973
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3974
                            New directory will branch
3975
 
3976
Minor changes:
3977
  * JATS release command
3978
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3979
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3980
 
3981
  * JATS label command
3982
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
3983
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
3984
 
3985
  * JATS make
3986
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
3987
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
3988
    was re-packaged.
3989
 
3990
  * JATS escrow
3991
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
3992
    Use jats escrow -help for details
3993
 
3994
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
3995
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
3996
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
3997
 
3998
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
3999
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4000
    interface directory.
4001
 
4002
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4003
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4004
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4005
    directory as seen by the package.
4006
 
4007
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4008
 
4009
  * JAVA 6
4010
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4011
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4012
 
4013
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4014
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4015
 
4016
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4017
 
4018
  * Jats command: vars
4019
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4020
    These indicate potential problems.
4021
 
4022
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4023
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4024
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4025
Major changes:
4026
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4027
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4028
    libarry is also created.
4029
 
4030
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4031
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4032
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4033
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4034
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4035
    information contained within the file.
4036
 
4037
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4038
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4039
 
4040
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4041
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4042
 
4043
  * Building Perl Modules
4044
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4045
    documentation on the build machine.
4046
 
4047
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4048
 
4049
Minor changes:
4050
  * jats create_dpkg
4051
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4052
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4053
 
4054
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4055
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4056
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4057
Major changes:
4058
  * JATS JAVA build target
4059
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4060
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4061
 
4062
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4063
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4064
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4065
    is then picked up as the default version.
4066
 
4067
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4068
    build.pl file.
4069
 
4070
Minor changes:
4071
  * jats release
4072
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4073
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4074
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4075
 
4076
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4077
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4078
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4079
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4080
    the name of the view.
4081
 
4082
  * GenerateFiles directive
4083
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4084
 
4085
  * MOS Toolset
4086
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4087
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4088
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4089
 
4090
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4091
 
4092
 
4093
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4094
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4095
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4096
Major changes:
4097
 
4098
Minor changes:
4099
  * JATS environment
4100
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4101
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4102
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4103
 
4104
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4105
 
4106
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4107
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4108
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4109
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4110
    to be packaged.
4111
 
4112
  * Generated makefiles
4113
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4114
 
4115
  * Generating MOS THX files
4116
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4117
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4118
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4119
 
4120
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4121
 
4122
  * JATS release
4123
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4124
 
4125
  * JATS extract
4126
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4127
 
4128
  * JATS Toolset
4129
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4130
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4131
 
4132
 
4133
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4134
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4135
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4136
Major changes:
4137
 
4138
Minor changes:
4139
  * jats label
4140
    Added a -vob=name option
4141
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4142
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4143
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4144
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4145
 
4146
    Added a -user=name option
4147
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4148
    label to the named user.
4149
 
4150
  * jats release
4151
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4152
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4153
 
4154
  * JATS build.pl
4155
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4156
    ie:
4157
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4158

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4161
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4162
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4163
Major changes:
4164
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4165
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4166
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4167
    the makefile internals. ie:
4168
        --Var(BuildName)
4169
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4170
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4171
 
4172
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4173
 
4174
  * GenerateFiles
4175
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4176
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4177
 
4178
  * BuildPlatforms
4179
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4180
 
4181
Minor changes:
4182
  * GCC Toolset
4183
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4184
 
4185
Internal changes:
4186
  * GenerateFiles
4187
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4188
 
4189
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4190
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4191
 
4192
 
4193
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4194
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4195
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4196
Major changes:
4197
  * Caching JATS
4198
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4199
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4200
 
4201
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4202
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4203
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4204
 
4205
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4206
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4207
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4208
 
4209
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4210
 
4211
Minor changes:
4212
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4213
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4214
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4215
 
4216
  * jats build
4217
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4218
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4219
    processed by the build.
4220
 
4221
  * jats build
4222
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4223
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4224
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4225
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4226
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4227
 
4228
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4229
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4230
    Path is not specified.
4231
 
4232
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4233
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4234
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4235
        --Dir=$Pinc
4236
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4237
 
4238
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4239
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4240
    Windows platform.
4241
 
4242
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4243
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4244
            by 'purecov.
4245
 
4246
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4247
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4248
 
4249
        - OPTIONS=purify
4250
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4251
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4252
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4253

4256
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
4257
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4258
Major changes:
4259
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4260
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4261
    Example:
4262
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4263
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4264
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4265
 
4266
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4267
    been determined.
4268
 
4269
Minor changes:
4270
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4271
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4272
    located at build-time.
4273
 
4274
  * Unix based systems
4275
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4276
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4277
 
4278
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4279
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4280
    driver being built.
4281
 
4282
 
4283
------------------------------------------------------------------------

4287
 
4288
 
4289
Minor changes:
4290
  * jats_rewrite tool
4291
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
4292
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
4293
 
4294
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
4295
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4296
 
4297
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4298
    dependancy information within a package.
4299
 
4300
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4301
    messages.
4302
 
4303
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4304
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
4305
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4306
Major changes:
4307
  * makefile.pl directives
4308
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
4309
 
4310
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4311
 
4312
    GenerateFiles.
4313
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4314
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4315
                      be run on every invocation.
4316
 
4317
 
4318
Minor changes:
4319
  * Added the jats version command
4320
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
4321
 
4322
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
4323
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4324
  There are two mechanism:
4325
 
4326
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4327
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4328
 
4329
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4330
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4331
 
4332
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4333
  default.
4334
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
4335
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
4336
 
4337

4339
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4340
Major changes:
4341
  * SunWorks Toolset
4342
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4343
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4344
    It is based on machine type.
4345
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4346
 
4347
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4348
 
4349
Minor changes:
4350
  * Perl DBI interface
4351
    Removed the message showing database connection
4352
 
4353
  * JATS internal library
4354
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
4355
 
4356
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4357
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
4358
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4359
Major changes:
4360
  * GCC Toolset
4361
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
4362
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
4363
    Removed the use of `uname`.
4364
 
4365
  * Added platforms
4366
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
4367
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4368
    TP5600_EMU
4369
 
4370
Minor changes:
4371
  * descpkg file reader
4372
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
4373
    field separator.
4374
 
4375
  * JATS eprog command
4376
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4377
 
4378
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4379
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4380
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4381
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4382
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4383
 
4384
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4385
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4386
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4387
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4388
 
4389
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4390
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
4391

4402
 
4403
 
4404
Minor changes:
4405
  * JATS wrapper script
4406
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4407
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4408
    to setup links to system programs.
4409

Major changes:
4429
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4430
    Added CompileOptions
4431
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4432
        no_misalign         - Default
4433
 
4434
        multithread         - Default
4435
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
4436
 
4437
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4438
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
4439
 
4440
        prod_no_optimise
4441
        prod_no_debuginfo

        debug_debuginfo
4449
 
4450
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4451
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4452
    Theses are:
4453
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4454
        SOLARIS_AMD
4455
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4456
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4457
 
4458
Minor changes:
4459
  * AT3232 toolset
4460
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
4461
 
4462
  * Jats build

4468
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4469
Major changes:
4470
 
4471
Minor changes:
4472
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4473
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4474
    messages
4475
 
4476
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4477
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4478
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4479
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4480
 
4481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4482
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
4483
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4484
Major changes:
4485
 
4486
Minor changes:
4487
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4488
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4489
    library without creating the body of the library:
4490
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4491
 
4492
 
4493
  * MOS toolsets
4494
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4495
    library without creating the body of the library:
4496
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4497
 
4498
  * JATS BIN directories
4499
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4500
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4501
    using autoconf.
4502
 
4503
  * Generate directive
4504
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4505
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4506
 
4507
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4508
 
4509
 
4510
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4511
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4512
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4513
Major changes:
4514
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4515
    Initial release.
4516
 
4517
Minor changes:
4518
 
4519
 
4520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4521
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4522
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4523
Major changes:
4524
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4525
    Initial release.
4526
 
4527
  * Packaging directives
4528
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4529
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4530
 
4531
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4532
        SOLARIS
4533
        WIN32
4534
 
4535
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4536
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4537
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4538
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4539
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4540
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4541
 
4542
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4543
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4544
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4545
 
4546
 
4547
Minor changes:
4548
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4549
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4550
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4551
 
4552
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4553
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4554
    location
4555
 
4556
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4557
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4558
 
4559
  * Utility genrc
4560
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4561
 
4562
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4563
    Added option: -new
4564
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4565
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4566
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4567
 
4568
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4569
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4570
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4571
 
4572
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4573
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4574
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4575
 
4576
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4577
   features - in a uniform manner.
4578
 
4579
 
4580
Internal Changes:
4581
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4582
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4583
 
4584
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4585
        1) Platform information available at build time
4586
        2) Dynamic platform names
4587
 
4588
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4589
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4590
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4591
 
4592
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4593
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4594
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4595
 
4596
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4597
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4598
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4599
    needed.
4600
 
4601
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4602
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4603
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4604
    files from all of these.
4605
 
4606
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4607
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
4608
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4609
Major changes:
4610
 
4611
Minor changes:
4612
  * WinCE toolset
4613
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4614
 
4615
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4616
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4617
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4618
Major changes:
4619
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4620
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4621
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4622
 
4623
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4624
 
4625
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4626
    the operations.
4627
 
4628
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4629
 
4630
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4631
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4632
 
4633
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4634
 
4635
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4636
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4637
 
4638
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4639
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4640
    Extended the built-in help
4641
    Added useful error messages
4642
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4643
 
4644
  * WinCE toolset
4645
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4646
 
4647
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4648
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4649
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4650
 
4651
Minor changes:
4652
  * JATS wrapper script
4653
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4654
    the command line.
4655
 
4656
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4657
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4658
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4659
 
4660
Internal Changes:
4661
  * Common Error Reporting
4662
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4663
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4664
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4665
    level.
4666
 
4667
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4668
    displayed.
4669
 
4670
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4671
 
4672
  * Added JatsSystem module
4673
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4674
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4675
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

4677
Major changes:
4678
 
4679
Minor changes:
4680
  * BR Compiler toolset
4681
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4682
    .def files to include other files.
4683
 
4684
  * IAR toolset
4685
    Added AT7272 support
4686
 
4687
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4688
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4689
 
4690
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4691
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4692
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4693
Major changes:
4694
 
4695
Minor changes:
4696
  * BR Compiler toolset
4697
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4698
    use.
4699
 
4700
 
4701
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4702
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4703
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4704
Major changes:
4705
 
4706
Minor changes:
4707
  * Mictotec toolset
4708
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4709
    builds.
4710
 
4711
  * JATS Core
4712
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4713
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4714
    behaviour.
4715
 
4716
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4717
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4718
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4719
Major changes:
4720
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4721
    Deployment package will be affected.
4722
 
4723
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4724
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4725
 
4726
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4727
 
4728
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4729
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4730
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4731
    packages.
4732
 
4733
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4734
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4735
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4736
 
4737
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4738
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4739
 
4740
Minor changes:
4741
  * SubDir directive
4742
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4743
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4744
 
4745
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4746
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4747
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4748
    of the file usage.
4749
 
4750
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4751
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4752
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4753
 
4754
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4755
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4756
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4757
 
4758
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4759
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4760
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4761
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4762
 
4763
 
4764
Internal Changes:
4765
  * Code refactor
4766
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4767
 
4768
  * Deployment utilities
4769
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4770
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4771
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4772
    the module can locate the file.
4773
 
4774
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4775
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4776
 
4777
  * JATS core
4778
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4779
 
4780
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4781
 
4782
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4783
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4784
    through the use of environment variables.
4785
 
4786
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4787
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4788
 
4789
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4790
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4791
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4792
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4793
 
4794
  * Make environment
4795
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4796
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4797
 
4798

Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4801
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4802
Major changes:
4803
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4804
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4805
 
4806

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4808
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4809
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4810
 
4811
Not Released.
4812
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4813
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4814
 
4815
 
4816
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4817
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4819
Major changes:
4820
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4821
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4822
    radically replaced.
4823
 
4824
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4825
    Usage:
4826
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4827
 
4828
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4829
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4830
    this solution:
4831
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4832
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4833
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4834
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4835
 
4836
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4837
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4838
    order to work.
4839
 
4840
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4841
    reduced functionality.
4842
 
4843
 
4844
Minor changes:
4845
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4846
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4847
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4848
 
4849
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4850
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4851
    within the makefiles.
4852
        Options:
4853
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4854
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4855
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4856
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4857
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4858
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4859
        Useage:
4860
 
4861
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4862
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4863
 
4864
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4865
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4866
    is not in the current directory.
4867
 
4868
  * Jats Command: ant'
4869
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4870
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4871
 
4872
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4873
 
4874
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4875
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4876
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4877
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4878
 
4879
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4880
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4881
    Thus
4882
 
4883
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4884
 
4885
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4886
 
4887

4889
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4890
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4891
Major changes:
4892
 
4893
Minor changes:
4894
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4895
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4896
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4897
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4898
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4899
 
4900
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4901
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4902
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4903
 
4904
Internal changes:
4905
  * JATS toolsets
4906
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4907
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4908
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4909
 
4910
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4911
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4912
 
4913
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4914
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4915
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4916
Major changes:
4917
  * Jats command: etool
4918
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4919
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4920
 
4921
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4922
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4923
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4924
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4925
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4926
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4927
 
4928
Minor changes:
4929
 
4930
 
4931
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4932
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4933
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4934
Major changes:
4935
  * JATS environment variables
4936
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4937
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4938
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4939
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4940
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4941
 
4942
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4943
              Remote repository
4944
 
4945
    Added GBE_DPLY
4946
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4947
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4948
 
4949
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4950
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4951
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4952
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4953
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4954
 
4955
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4956
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4957
 
4958
 
4959
Minor changes:
4960
  * JATS utility: build
4961
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4962
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4963
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4964
 
4965
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4966
    Ensure label is not locked
4967
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4968
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4969
 
4970
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4971
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4972
    to a specific type of build.
4973
 
4974
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
4975
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
4976
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
4977
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
4978
 
4979
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
4980
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
4981
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
4982
 
4983
  * JATS utility: release
4984
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
4985
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
4986
 
4987
  * JATS utility: label
4988
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
4989
    when it is being created.
4990
 
4991
Internal Changes
4992
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
4993
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
4994
 
4995
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
4996
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
4997
 
4998
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
4999
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5000
    different results.
5001
 
5002
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5003
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5004
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5005
 
5006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5007
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5009
Major changes:
5010
 
5011
  * MCR toolset
5012
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5013
 
5014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5015
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5017
Major changes:
5018
  * WIN32 utilities
5019
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5020
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5021
 
5022
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5023
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5024
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5025
 
5026
Minor changes:
5027
  * BuildVersion
5028
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5029
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5030
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5031
 
5032
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5033
 
5034
  * Unix Builds
5035
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5036
    library or a shared library.
5037
 
5038
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5039
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5040
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5041
    start with 'lib'.
5042
 
5043
  * BuildPkgArchive
5044
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5045
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5046
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5047
 
5048
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5049
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5050
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5051
Major changes:
5052
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5053
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5054
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5055
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5056
    being manually maintained.
5057
 
5058
 
5059
Minor changes:
5060
  * MakeAnt directive
5061
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5062
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5063
    supports ANT builds.
5064
 
5065
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5066
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5067
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5068
 
5069
  * Label utility
5070
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5071
    files to be labeled.
5072
 
5073
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5074
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5075
    on Solaris.
5076
 
5077
  * Generated makefiles
5078
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5079
    nothing.
5080
 
5081
  * MOS Toolset
5082
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5083
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5084
    modules.
5085
 
5086
  * Utility: gen_cots
5087
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5088
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5089
 
5090
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5091
 
5092
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5093
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5094
 
5095
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5096
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5097
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5098
Major changes:
5099
  None
5100
 
5101
Minor changes:
5102
  * DEVI addressed
5103
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5104
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5105
 
5106
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5107
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5108
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5109
 
5110
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5111
 
5112
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5113
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5114
 
5115
  * RunTest directive
5116
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5117
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5118
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5119
 
5120
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5121
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5122
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5123
    packaged under JATS
5124
 
5125
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5126
          supported within JATS.
5127
 
5128
  * Jats utility wrapper
5129
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5130
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5131
 
5132
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5133
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5134
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5135
 
5136
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5137
    Eg: jats ant
5138
 
5139
  * Jats utility wrapper
5140
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5141
 
5142
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5143
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5144
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5145
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5146
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5147
 
5148
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5149
    expect a build.pl file.
5150
 
5151
  * Jats utility wrapper
5152
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5153
 
5154
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5155
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5156
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5157
 
5158
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5159
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5160
 
5161
  * Build files
5162
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5163
    ERG extensions.
5164
 
5165

  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5170
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5171
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5172
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5173
 
5174
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5175
 
5176
Minor changes:
5177
  * None
5178
 
5179
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5180
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5181
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5182
Major changes:
5183
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5184
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5185
    ie:
5186
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5187
 
5188
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5189
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5190
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5191
    environments are compatible.
5192
 
5193
 
5194
Minor changes:
5195
  * BuildName option
5196
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5197
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5198
 
5199
  * jats.bat
5200
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5201
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5202
 
5203
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5204
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5206
Major changes:
5207
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5208
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5209
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5210
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5211
 
5212
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5213
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5214
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5215
 
5216
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5217
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5218
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5219
 
5220
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5221
    transferred.
5222
 
5223
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5224
    See notes below.
5225
 
5226
  * WIN32 toolset
5227
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5228
    correctly.
5229
 
5230
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5231
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5232
 
5233
  * BuildVersion
5234
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5235
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5236
    other langauges as needed.
5237
 
5238
 
5239
Minor changes:
5240
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5241
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5242
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5243
    version strings.
5244
 
5245
  * GenerateFiles directive
5246
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5247
    package or an imported package.
5248
 
5249
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5250
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5251
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5252
 
5253
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5254
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5255
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5256
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5257
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5258
 
5259
Internal Changes
5260
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5261
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5262
    of utilities.
5263
 
5264
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5265
    functions.
5266
 
5267
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5268
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5270
Major changes:
5271
  * Generated makefiles
5272
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5273
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5274
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5275
 
5276
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5277
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5278
    incorrectly processing:
5279
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5280
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5281
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5282
    confused.
5283
 
5284
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5285
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5286
    The construct
5287
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5288
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5289
    then it works.
5290
 
5291
  * MakeAnt directive
5292
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5293
 
5294
    This option has the following effects
5295
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5296
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5297
 
5298
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5299
           early - in the generated files phase.
5300
 
5301
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5302
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5303
 
5304
 
5305
Minor changes:
5306
  * JATS post-installation script
5307
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5308
 
5309
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5310
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5311
    windows.
5312
 
5313
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5314
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5315
 
5316
  * Jats wrapper script
5317
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5318
        1) Contain spaces
5319
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5320
 
5321
  * Toolset
5322
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5323
 
5324
  * JAVA toolset
5325
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5326
    directive:
5327
 
5328
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5329
 
5330
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5331
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5332
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5333
 
5334
  * GCC Toolset
5335
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5336
 
5337
  * Makefile generation
5338
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5339
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5340
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5341
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5342
    package could not be used.
5343
 
5344
  * Unit Tests
5345
    The following environment variables are set:
5346
 
5347
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5348
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5349
 
5350
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5351
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5352
 
5353
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5354
 
5355
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5356
 
5357
 
5358
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5359
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5360
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5361
Major changes:
5362
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5363
 
5364
    Special features of this toolset.
5365
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5366
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5367
       incorporated within the target image.
5368
 
5369
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5370
       --Set=Name=Value
5371
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5372
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5373
 
5374
       --Ref=name
5375
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5376
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5377
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5378
                will be taken from the build version number.
5379
 
5380
Minor changes:
5381
  * MOS Toolset
5382
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5383
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5384
    packaged.
5385
 
5386
  * Src directive
5387
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5388
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5389
    specifier.
5390
 
5391
  * WIN32 runtime support
5392
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5393
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5394
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5395
 
5396
Internal:
5397
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5398
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5399
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5400
 
5401
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5402
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5403
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5404
Major changes:
5405
    * BuildAlias directive
5406
      Added options.
5407
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5408
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5409
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5410
                          targets.
5411
      Eg:
5412
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5413
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5414
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5415
 
5416
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5417
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5418
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5419
 
5420
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5421
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5422
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5423
 
5424
 
5425
Minor changes:
5426
  * Label utility
5427
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5428
    build.pl file
5429
 
5430
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5431
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5432
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5433
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5434
    --FilterIn option.
5435
 
5436
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5437
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5438
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5439
 
5440
  * Location of descpkg file
5441
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5442
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5443
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5444
 
5445
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5446
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5447
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5448
Major changes:
5449
  * RunTest directive
5450
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5451
    Additional options
5452
      --CopyIn=file
5453
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5454
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5455
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5456
        the test area.
5457
 
5458
    Additional operations
5459
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5460
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5461
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5462
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5463
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5464
    Allows flags:
5465
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5466
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5467
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5468
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5469
 
5470
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5471
    existence is tested.
5472
 
5473
  * Packaging Directives
5474
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5475
    such as LMOS.
5476
 
5477
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5478
 
5479
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5480
 
5481
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5482
 
5483
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5484
 
5485
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5486
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5487
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5488
 
5489
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5490
 
5491
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5492
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5493
 
5494
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5495
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5496
 
5497
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5498
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5499
 
5500
Minor changes:
5501
  * Script directive
5502
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5503
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5504
 
5505
  * JATS environment
5506
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5507
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5508
    the JATS wrapper script.
5509
 
5510
  * Label utility
5511
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5512
    There are three modes of operation:
5513
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5514
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5515
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5516
 
5517
 
5518
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5519
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5521
Major changes:
5522
 
5523
Minor changes:
5524
  * label utility
5525
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5526
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5527
 
5528
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5529
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5530
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5531
      --ProgLoader=name
5532
 
5533
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5534
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5535
    Options to do this are:
5536
        --TreeDir=name
5537
        --FilterOut=regexp
5538
        --FilterIn=regexp
5539
        --StripDir
5540
 
5541
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5542
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5543
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5544
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5545
 
5546
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5547
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5548
 
5549
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5550
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5551
 
5552
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5553
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5554
 
5555
 
5556
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5557
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5558
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5559
Major changes:
5560
    * Make commands
5561
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5562
 
5563
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5564
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5565
 
5566
    * Label utility
5567
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5568
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5569
 
5570
Minor changes:
5571
    * Toolsets
5572
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5573
      variables and overrides.
5574
 
5575
      The make_init target is always run.
5576
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5577
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5578
 
5579
    * Deployment
5580
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5581
      with deployment operations.
5582
 
5583
    * Release utility
5584
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5585
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5586
      restricted by options within the build.
5587
 
5588
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5589
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5590
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5591
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5592
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5593
 
5594
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5595
      directives.
5596
 
5597
    * MakeProject directive
5598
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5599
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5600
 
5601
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5602
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5603
      is preserved.
5604
 
5605
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5606
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5607
      statements.
5608
 
5609
    * Mugfile generation
5610
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5611
      be placed in the target package.
5612
 
5613
 
5614
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5615
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5616
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5617
Major changes:
5618
    * BuildVersion directive
5619
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5620
      number as well as a patch number.
5621
 
5622
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5623
      number.
5624
 
5625
Minor changes:
5626
    * AddFlags directives
5627
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5628
      duplicate flags being added.
5629
 
5630
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5631
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5632
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5633
 
5634
    * Mug File Generation
5635
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5636
 
5637
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5638
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5639
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5640
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5641
     directory.
5642
 
5643
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5644
     reproducible.
5645
 
5646
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5647
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5649
Major changes:
5650
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5651
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5652
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5653
      longer a list of directories.
5654
 
5655
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5656
      done within the toolset.
5657
 
5658
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5659
 
5660
    * JATS environment variables
5661
      Redefined variable
5662
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5663
                          Previously was a list that included the
5664
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5665
 
5666
      New variable
5667
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5668
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5669
 
5670
 
5671
Minor changes:
5672
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5673
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5674
      target platforms to be extracted.
5675
 
5676
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5677
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5678
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5679
 
5680
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5681
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5682
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5683
 
5684
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5685
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5686
 
5687
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5688
      Support ANT based XML files
5689
 
5690
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5691
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5692
      structure.
5693
 
5694
    * makefile.pl's
5695
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5696
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5697
 
5698
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5699
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5700
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5701
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5702
 
5703
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5704
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5705
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5706
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5707
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5708
      -- Auto.
5709
 
5710
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5711
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5712
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5713
 
5714
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5715
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5716
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5717
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5718
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5719
 
5720
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5721
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5722
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5723
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5724
      installed on the machine.
5725
 
5726
    * WINCE Targets
5727
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5728
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5729
 
5730
 
5731
 
5732
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5733
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5734
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5735
Major changes:
5736
    * WIN32 platforms
5737
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5738
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5739
      and installed packages.
5740
 
5741
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5742
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5743
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5744
 
5745
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5746
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5747
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5748
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5749
      searched when looking for libraries.
5750
 
5751
Minor changes:
5752
    * GenerateFiles directive
5753
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5754
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5755
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5756
                          and drive letter
5757
 
5758
    * Src directive
5759
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5760
      directory of a package.
5761
 
5762
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5763
 
5764
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5765
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5766
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5767
 
5768
    * jats_rewrite utility
5769
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5770
 
5771
 
5772
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5773
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5774
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5775
Major changes:
5776
    * SunWorks production builds
5777
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5778
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5779
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5780
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5781
      compiler documentation.
5782
 
5783
    * MOS Toolset
5784
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5785
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5786
 
5787
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5788
 
5789
Minor changes:
5790
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5791
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5792
      This should not affect current users.
5793
 
5794
    * Mugfile generation
5795
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5796
      specified.
5797
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5798
 
5799
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5800
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5801
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5802
Major changes:
5803
    MOS Toolset
5804
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5805
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5806
 
5807
Minor changes:
5808
    * Jats wrapper script
5809
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5810
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5811
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5812
 
5813
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5814
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5815
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5816
      may be suspect.
5817
 
5818
    * GenerateFiles directive
5819
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5820
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5821
 
5822
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5823
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5824
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5825
Major changes:
5826
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5827
      build.xml files.
5828
 
5829
Minor changes:
5830
    * WIN32 toolset.
5831
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5832
 
5833
    * MakeAnt
5834
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5835
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5836
 
5837
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5838
 
5839
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5840
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5841
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5842
 
5843
    * MakeAnt directive
5844
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5845
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5846
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5847
 
5848
      Recommended usage:
5849
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5850
 
5851
Internal Changes
5852
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5853

5856
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5857
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5858
Major changes:
5859
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5860
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5861
      files packaged into the release.
5862
 
5863
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5867
 
5868
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5869
      The recommended platform is:
5870
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5871
 
5872
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5873
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5874
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5875
      components.
5876
 
5877
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

5881
 
5882
Minor changes:
5883
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5884
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5885
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5886
      by the package to be accessed.
5887
 
5888
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5889
      application or visual studio.
5890
 
5891
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5892
      and the JATS Core path.
5893
 
5894
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5895
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5896
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5897
 
5898
    * MOS Toolset
5899
      Add support for the TPT device
5900
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5901
 
5902
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5903
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5904
 
5905
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5906
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5907
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5908
 
5909
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5910
 
5911
Internal Changes
5912
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5913
      in jats.pl
5914
 
5915
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5916
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5918
Major changes:
5919
    * JATS wrapper script
5920
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5921
 
5922
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5923
 
5924
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5925
 
5926
Minor changes:
5927
    * Deployment support
5928
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5929
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5930
 
5931
    * 'build'
5932
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5933
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5934
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5935
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5936
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5937
 
5938
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5939
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5940
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5941
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5942
                                      the link phase.
5943
 
5944
    * BuildPkgArchive
5945
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5946
      Previously these were ignored.
5947
      Minor code cleanup
5948
 
5949
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5950
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5951
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5952
 
5953
    * SOLARIS targets
5954
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5955
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5956
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5957
 
5958
    * MugFile generation
5959
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5960
      included in the final package.
5961
 
5962
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5963
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5964
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5965
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5966
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5967
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5968
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5969
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5970
 
5971
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5972
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5973
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5974
            --Option=(some_text)
5975
            --Option=[some_text]
5976
            --Option={some_text}
5977
 
5978
Internal Changes
5979
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5980
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5981
      code.
5982

5984
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
5985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5986
Major changes:
5987
    * JATS wrapper script
5988
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
5989
 
5990
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
5991
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
5992
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
5993
      other components.
5994
 
5995
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
5996
 
5997
    * JATS
5998
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
5999
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6000
 
6001
    * Build operations
6002
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6003
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6004
      packages.
6005
 
6006
    * Make operations
6007
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6008
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6009
 
6010
Minor changes:
6011
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6012
      deployment builds.
6013
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6014
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6015
 
6016
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6017
 
6018
    * build.pl
6019
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6020
        processed. Allows
6021
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6022
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6023
        production.
6024
 
6025
    * MOS toolset
6026
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6027
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6028
 
6029
    * create_dpkg utility
6030
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6031
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6032
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6033
      progress of the build.
6034
 
6035
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6036
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6037
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6038
      system.
6039
 
6040
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6041
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6042
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6043
Major changes:
6044
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6045
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6046
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6047
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6048
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6049
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6050
 
6051
    * WCEX86A500 target
6052
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6053
 
6054
    * MOS Toolsets
6055
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6056
      the compiler.
6057
 
6058
    * RunTest directive
6059
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6060
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6061
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6062
 
6063
Minor changes:
6064
    * JATS BUILD
6065
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6066
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6067
      highlight bad settings.
6068
 
6069
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6070
      access to extensions.
6071
 
6072
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6073
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6075

6076
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6077
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6078
 
6079
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6080
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6081
      under unix.
6082
 
6083
Minor changes:
6084
    * label utility
6085
      Added options to:
6086
        o Delete a label
6087
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6088
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6089
 
6090
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6091
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6092
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6093
      Package directives.
6094
 
6095
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6096
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6097
      system.
6098
 
6099
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6100
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6101
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6102
Major changes:
6103
    * MOS Toolset
6104
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6105
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6106
 
6107
    * WIN32 Toolset
6108
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6109
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6110
      list.
6111
 
6112
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6113
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6114
 
6115
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6116
 
6117
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6118
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6119
 
6120
 
6121
Minor changes:
6122
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6123
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6124
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6125
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6126
      corrected.
6127
 
6128
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6129
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6130
 
6131
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6132
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6133
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6134
 
6135
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6136
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6137
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6138
Major changes:
6139
    * WIN32 Toolset
6140
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6141
      use with multithreaded modes.
6142
 
6143
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6144
      --OnlyProd.
6145
 
6146
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6147
      within the makefile.pl.
6148
 
6149
Minor changes:
6150
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6151
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6152
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6153
      platforms.
6154
 
6155
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6156
 
6157

6158
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6160
Major changes:
6161
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6162
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6163
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6164
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6165
 
6166
    * Preliminary Support
6167
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6168
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6169
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6170
 
6171
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6172
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6173
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6174
 
6175
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6176
      building. The default build will build both.
6177
 
6178
Minor changes:
6179
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6180
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6181
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6182
 
6183
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6184
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6185
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6186
 
6187
 
6188
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6191
Major changes:
6192
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6193
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6194
      or all.
6195
 
6196
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6197
      the library or program.
6198
 
6199
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6200
 
6201
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6202
      library or any debug files.
6203
 
6204
    * GenerateFiles
6205
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6206
 
6207
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6208
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6209
 
6210
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6211
              The filename of the prereq file
6212
 
6213
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6214
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6215
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6216
 
6217
 
6218
Minor changes:
6219
    * create_dpkg utility
6220
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6221
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6222
      the package has been altered.
6223

6227
Major changes:
6228
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6229
      This is a WINCE target
6230
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6231
 
6232
    * New toolset
6233
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6234
 
6235
    * Modified toolset
6236
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6237
 
6238
    * Modified toolset
6239
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6240
 
6241
Minor changes:
6242
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6243
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6244
 
6245
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6246
 
6247
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6248
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6249
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6250
 
6251
      The change allows the construct
6252
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6253
      to be replaced by the simpler
6254
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6255
 
6256
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6257
      specified name.    
6258

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6278
Major changes:
6279
    * The "package.pl" file.
6280
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6281
      package name being taken from the build name
6282
 
6283
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6284
      package Build Name.
6285
 
6286
Minor changes:
6287
    * create_dpkg utility

    * Dependancy generator
6297
      Correct two common situations
6298
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6299
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6300
           ansi, but is often done.
6301
 
6302
    * GCC toolset
6303
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6304
      being created in the correct place.
6305
 
6306
    * jats "label"
6307
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6308
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6309
 
6310
 
6311

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6314
Major changes:
6315
 
6316
Minor changes:
6317
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6318
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6319
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6320
 
6321
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6322
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6323
 
6324
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6325
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6326

6331
Major changes:
6332
    * Support for solaris_i386
6333
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6334
      binaries for this target.
6335
 
6336
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6337
      with the GCC compiler.
6338
 
6339
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6340
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6341
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6342
 
6343
Minor changes:
6344
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6345
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6346
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6347
 
6348
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6349
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6354
Major changes:
6355
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6356
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6357
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6358
 
6359
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6360
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6361
 
6362
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6363
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6364
      with either " or ' characters.
6365
 
6366
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6367

6373
 
6374
    * Jats wrapper
6375
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6376
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6377
      further commands.
6378
 
6379
Minor changes:
6380
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6381
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6382
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6383
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6384
 
6385
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6386
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6387
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6388
Major changes:
6389
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6390
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6391
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6392
 
6393
      These options operation affect all components within the
6394
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6395
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6396
 
6397
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6398
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6399
 
6400
Minor changes:
6401
 
6402
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6403
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6404
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6405
Major changes:
6406
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6407
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6408
 
6409
Minor changes:
6410
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6411
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6412
 
6413
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6414
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6415
 
6416
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6417
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6418
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6419
Major changes:
6420
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6421
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6422
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6423
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6424
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6425
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6426
      installed.
6427
 
6428
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6429
      libraries that depend on each other.
6430
 
6431
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6432
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6433
 
6434
Minor changes:
6435
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6436
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6437
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6438
 
6439
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6440
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6441
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6442
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6443
 
6444
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6445
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6446
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6447
Major changes:
6448
 
6449
Minor changes:
6450
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6451
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6452
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6453
      file.
6454
 
6455
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6456
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6457
 
6458
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6459
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6460
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6461
 
6462
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6463
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6464
 
6465
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6466
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6467
 
6468
    * WinCE toolsets
6469
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6470
      compiler specific libraries.
6471
 
6472
    * SOLARIS toolset
6473
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6474
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6475
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6476
 
6477
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6478
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6479
      cleaned up.
6480
 
6481
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6482
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6483
 
6484
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6485
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6486
      with either " or ' characters.
6487
 
6488
 
6489
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6490
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6491
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6492
Major changes:
6493
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6494
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6495
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6496
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6497
 
6498
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6499
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6500
 
6501
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6502
      user.
6503
 
6504
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6505
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6506
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6507
 
6508
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6509
      for the   -Gf option.
6510
 
6511
Minor changes:
6512
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6513
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6514
 
6515
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6516
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6517
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6518
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6519
 
6520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6521
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6522
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6523
Major changes:
6524
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6525
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6526
 
6527
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6528
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6529
      data addresses for the board.
6530
 
6531
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6532
 
6533
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6534
 
6535
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6536
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6537
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6538
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6539
         PackageFile
6540
 
6541
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6542
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6543
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6544
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6545
 
6546
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6547
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6548
      to be installed and packaged.
6549
 
6550
Minor changes:
6551
 
6552
    * cache_dpkg utility
6553
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6554
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6555
 
6556
    * label utility
6557
      New option -auto to create and label
6558
 
6559
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6560
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6561
 
6562
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6563
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6564
      directory. ie:
6565
 
6566
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6567
 
6568
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6569
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6570
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6571
 
6572
 
6573
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6574
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6576
Major changes:
6577
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6578
 
6579
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6580
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6581
 
6582
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6583
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6584
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6585
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6586
 
6587
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6588
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6589
      compilation.
6590
 
6591
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6592
 
6593
Minor changes:
6594
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6595
      one is being produced.
6596
 
6597
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6598
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6599
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6600
 
6601
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6602
 
6603
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6604
 
6605
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6606
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6607
 
6608
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6609
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6611
Major changes:
6612
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6613
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6614
 
6615
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6616
 
6617
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6618
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6619
      same directory
6620
 
6621
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6622
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6623
      documenattion.
6624
 
6625
Minor changes:
6626
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6627
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6628
 
6629
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6630
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6631
 
6632
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6633
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6634
 
6635
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6636
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6637
 
6638
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6639
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6640
      be exempt from this test.
6641
 
6642
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6643
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6644
 
6645
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6646
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6647
 
6648
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6649
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6650
      does.
6651
 
6652
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6653
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6654
 
6655
 
6656
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6657
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6658
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6659
Major changes:
6660
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6661
 
6662
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6663
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6664
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6665
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6666
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6667
 
6668
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6669
      operations.
6670
 
6671
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6672
 
6673
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6674
 
6675
Minor changes
6676
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6677
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6678
 
6679
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6680
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6681
      directory is not added to the library path.
6682
 
6683
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6684
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6685
 
6686
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6687
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6688
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6689
 
6690
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6691
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6692
      specific flags.
6693
 
6694
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6695
 
6696
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6697
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6698
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6699
 
6700
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6701
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6702
      JATS.
6703
 
6704
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6705
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6706
 
6707
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6708
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6709
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6710
 
6711
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6712
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6713
 
6714
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6715
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6716
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6717
 
6718
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6719
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6720
 
6721
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6722
 
6723
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6724
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6725
 
6726
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6727
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6728
      objects.
6729
 
6730
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6731
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6732
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6733
      build defendants.
