------------------------------------------------------------------------
161
Major changes:
162
 
163
Minor changes:
164
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
165
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
166
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
167
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
168
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
169
 
170
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
171
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.
172

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3987 dpurdie 174
Version:  3.2.1000.cr                               Released: 16-Aug-2013
175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
176
Major changes:
177
 
178
Minor changes:
179
    * Utility: update_release
180
      Added options:
181
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
182
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
183
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
184
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
185
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
186
      Report filter elements that are not used.
187
 
188
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
189
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
190
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
191
 
192
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
193
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
194
 
195
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3967 dpurdie 196
Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
197
------------------------------------------------------------------------
198
Major changes:
199
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
200
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
201
      intended to build deployed software.
202
 
203
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
204
      the DEVLINUX alias.
205
 
206
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
207
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
208
 
209
Minor changes:
210
    * Jats wrapper script
211
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
212
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
213
      Subversion instance of the command.
214
 
215
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
216
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
217
 
218
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
219
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
220
 
221
    * Utility: jats upddep
222
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
223
      file under windows.
224
 
225
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
226
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
227
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
228
 
229
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
230
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
231
 
232
    * GCC Toolchain
233
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.
234

237
------------------------------------------------------------------------
238
Major changes:
239
    * Jira Issue: JATS-274: Long view name causes legacy package to
240
                            fail to daemon build
241
      Create shorter viewnames when extracting Subversion workspace
242
 
3967 dpurdie 243

------------------------------------------------------------------------
249
Major changes:
250
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
251
      Support for Intellect PAX.
252
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
253
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
254
 
255
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
256
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.
257

    * New Platform: VSDEVRC
263
      Uses an MSP430G2553 processor, a member of the Texas Instruments MSP430
264
      family
3559 dpurdie 265
 
266
Minor changes:
267
    * Utility: jats sandbox
268
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
269
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
270
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
271
      line.
272
 
273
    * Jats Configuration
274
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
275
 
276
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
277
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
278
      and Linux.
279
 
280
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
281
      correctly rippled.
282
 
283

3347 dpurdie 284
Version:  3.1.6000.cr                               Released: 05-Apr-13
285
------------------------------------------------------------------------
286
Major changes:
287
 
288
Minor changes:
289
    * Jats Core
290
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
291
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
292
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
293
 
294
    * Utility: svnsave_build
295
      Used only by the build daemons.
296
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
297
 
298
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
299
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
300
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
301
 
302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3045 dpurdie 303
Version:  3.1.5000.cr                               Released: 13-Feb-13 
304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
305
Major changes:
306
 
307
Minor changes:
308
    * svnrelease utility
309
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
310
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
311
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
312
 
313
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
314
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
315
      the named tag.
316
 
317
    * svnrelease utility
318
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
319
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
330
        covered by the makefile.
331
 
332
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
333
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
334
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
335
 
336
    * ALL Toolsets
337
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
338
 
339
    * Utility vcsdiff
340
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
341
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
342
      the default use of BeyondCompare.
343

      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
352
      directory of the tag.
353

359
      showing the user what to do.
360
 
361
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
362
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
363
      we have build support for this target.
364
 
365
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
366
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
367
 
368
Internal:
369
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
370
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.

      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
392
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
393
      of warnings.
394
 
395
    * Makefile Generation
396
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
397
 
398
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil

Version:  3.1.0000.cr                               Released: 08-Nov-12
2429 dpurdie 404
------------------------------------------------------------------------
405
Major changes:
406
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
407
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
408
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
409
      these operations with a dedicated program.
410
 
411
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
412
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
413
      windows path scheme.
414
 
415
Minor changes:
416
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
417
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
418
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
419
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
420
 
421
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
422
        jats make clobber
423
      This operates as before.
424
 
425
    * Utility: escrow
426
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
427
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
428
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
429
 
430
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
431
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
432
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
433
 
434
    * Utility: svn : url
435
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
436
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
437
 
438
    * Utility: svn : import
439
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
440
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
441
 
442
    * Subversion Support
443
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
444
      showing the user what to do.
445
 
446
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
447
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
448
      repositories.
449

------------------------------------------------------------------------
453
 
454
Minor changes:
455
    * Jats build
456
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
457
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
458
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
459
 
460
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 461
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 462

473
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
474
                 Can also display available branches.
475
 
2054 dpurdie 476
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
477

        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
481
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
482
 
483
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
484
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
485
      Modified two options:
486
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
487
                        The named branch must not exist
488
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
489
                        The named branch must exist
490
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

524
 
525
Major changes:
526
    * Jats Version Number
527
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
528
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
529
      significantly.
530
 
531
Minor changes:

541
Major changes:
542
    * Subversion support
543
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
544
      SubVersion. Changes include:
545
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
546
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
547
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
548
 
549
Minor changes:
550
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
551
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
552
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
553
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
554
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
555
 
556
    * Utility: svnsave_build
557
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
558
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
559
 
560
    * Linux support utilities
561
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
562
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
563
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
568
Major changes:
569
    * Subversion Repository location
570
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
571
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
572
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
573
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
574
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
575
 
576
Minor changes:
577
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
578
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
579
 
580
    * Utility: svnrelease
581
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
582
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
583
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
584
 
585
    * Utility: svnsave_build
586
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
587
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
588
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
589
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
590
 
591
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
592
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
593
 
594
    * Utility: sandbox
595
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
596
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
597
 
598
      Subcommand: populate
599
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
600
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
601
      sandbox.
602
 
603
    * Subversion Support
604
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
605
      repository is not supported.
606
 
607
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
608
      a progress indication.
609
 
610
    * Jats Online Documentation
611
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
612
      online documentation.
613
 
614
    * Generated makefiles
615
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

------------------------------------------------------------------------
692
Major changes:
693
 
694
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
695
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
696
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
697
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
698
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
699
 
700
    * C# Toolchain
701
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

711
 
712
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
713
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
714
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
715
 
716
    * Utility ccrelease
717
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
718
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
719
 
720
    * Utility: svn
721
      Improved package import processing.
722
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

750
Major changes:
751
 
752
Minor changes:
753
    * Command: jats clobber
754
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
755
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
756
 
757
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
758
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
759
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
760
 
761
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
762
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
763
 
377 dpurdie 764
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
765
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
766
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 767
 
768
    * jats svnlabel
769
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
770
 
771
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
772
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
773
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
774
 
775
    * Built Daemon support
776
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
777
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
778

373 dpurdie 780
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
781
------------------------------------------------------------------------
782
Major changes:
783
    * GCC Toolset
784
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
785
      New methodology is:
786
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
787
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
788
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
789
        as the main binary.
790
 
791
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
792
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
793
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the

930
 
931
    * jats build -noforce
932
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
933
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
934
      be forced.
935
 
936
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
937
 
938
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
939
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
940
 
941
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
942
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
943
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
944
 
945
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
946
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
947
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
948
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.

952
      provide a cleaner workspace name.

955
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.

958
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
959
      installed and can be used.

    * Toolset: CSharp
962
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
963
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
964
      character.
965
 
966
    * Toolset: SunWorks
967
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
968
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
969
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
970
      masking an error.
971
 
972
    * Toolset: Delphi7
973
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
974
      enhancement.

982
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
983
 
984
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms

    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
989
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent

993
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
994
      'jats make show' command.
995
 
996
    * Utility: create_dpkg
997
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
998
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
999

Minor changes:
1203
    * Jats Sandbox operation
1204
      Don't remove .RUL files in sandbox testing of the build files
1205
 
1206
    * Jats MakeProject directive
1207
      Added --TargetDebug= and --TargetProd=  to allow the default target
1208
      of the project builds to be specified.
1209
 
1210
      Can be used in all targets that use a Visual Studio project or solution
1211
      to build a package.
1212
 
1213
    * MergeLibrary directive
1214
      New sub-option --InterfacePlain
1215
      This will allow the use of 3rd party libraries that do not have a P or D
1216
      suffix in the library name.
1217
 
1218
    * GenerateFiles directive
1219
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
1220
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
1221
 
1222
    * BuildPlatform
1223
      New option: --NoToolSet
1224
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
1225
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
1226
 
1227
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
1228
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
1229
      need toolset specific information.
1230
 
1231
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
1232
 
1233
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
1234
 
1235
Internal:
1236
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
1237
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
1238
      processing into jats.pl
1239
 
1240
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
1241
      a ClearCase site.

1251
      libraries or header files.
1252
 
1253
    * New tool update_release
1254
      Extracts current package version list from Deployment Manager SBom(s)

1314
      files for Production and Debug builds.
1315
 
1316
Minor changes:
1317
    * Jats sandbox command

    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
1342
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
1343
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
1344
      resulting in multiple builds.
1345
 
1346
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
1347
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
1348
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
1349
 
1350
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
1351
 
1352
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
1353
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
1354
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

1360
 
1361
Minor changes:
1362
    * Jats label command
1363
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1364
      Not recommended for general use.
1365
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1366
      directories within the current view.
1367
 
1368
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1369
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1370
      elsewhere.
1371
 
1372
    * Jats save_build
1373
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1374
      the determination of a branch.
1375
 
1376
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1377
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1378
 
1379
    * Jats build
1380
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1381
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1382
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1383
 
1384
    * Borland6 toolset
1385
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1386
      to match the documented install location of:
1387
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1388
 
1389
    * Jats build
1390
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1391
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1392
      This is a very quick operation.
1393
 
1394
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1395
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1396
 
1397
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1398
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1399
      files are only recreated if need be.
1400
 
1401
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1402
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1403
      make the package.
1404
 
1405
    * Jats sandbox
1406
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1407
 
1408
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1409
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1410
 
1411
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1412
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1413
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1414
      is performed.
1415
 
1416
Internal:
1417
    * build.pl
1418

Minor changes:
1453
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1454
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1455
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1456
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1457
 
1458
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1459
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1460
 
1461
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1462
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1463
      platform builds.
1464
 
1465
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1466
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1467
      directory tree.
1468
 
1469
    * New command: jats man
1470
      Produces full help on a specified item.

1482
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1483
Major changes:
1484
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1485
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1486
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1487
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1488
 
1489
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1490
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1491
 
1492
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1493
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1494
 
1495
      Examples:
1496
            jats upddep -show
1497
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1498
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1499
 
1500
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1501
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1502
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1503
 
1504
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1505
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1506
 
1507
Minor changes:
1508
 
1509
Internal changes:
1510
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

1515
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1516
Major changes:
1517
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1518
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1519
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1520
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1521
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1522
      stream.
1523
 
1524
      Example:
1525
 
1526
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1527
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1528
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1529
                     );
1530
Minor changes:
1531
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1532
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1533
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1534
      directive.
1535
 
1536
    * GCC Toolkit
1537
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1538
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1539
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1540
      the point of termination.
1541
 
1542
    * Jats save_build utility
1543
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1544
      under windows.
1545
 
1546
    * Jats sandbox
1547
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1548
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1549
      in different sandboxes.
1550
 
1551
    * Jats release
1552
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1553

319 dpurdie 1563
      directory.
1564
 
1565
    * jats label utility
1566
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1567
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1568
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1569
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1570
 
1571
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1582
        noExceptions            - Disable
1583
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1584
      Example:
1585
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1586
 
1587
    * Solaris targets
1588
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1589
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1590
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1591
      machine type.

1598
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1599
      project files.
1600
 
1601
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1602
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1603
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1604
 
1605
Minor changes:
1606
    * Added more internal documentation
1607
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1608
 
1609
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1610
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1611
 
1612
    * Jats save_build utility
1613
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1614
      under windows.
1615
 
1616
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1617
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1618
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1619
      libraries.
1620
 
1621
    * Solaris builds
1622
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1623
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1624
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1625
      of the build failure.
1626
 
1627
 
1628
Internal changes:
1629
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1630
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1631
 
1632
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1633
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
1637
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1638
Major changes:
1639
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1640
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1641
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1642
      existing 32-bit builds.
1643
 
1644
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1645
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1646
 
1647
Minor changes:
1648
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1649
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1650
 
1651
    * Package searching
1652
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1653
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1654
 
1655
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1656
 
1657
    * jats help
1658
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1659
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1660
 
1661
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1662
      with one of:
1663
        jats -h
1664
        jats help jats
1665
 
1666
Internal:
1667
    * cmdfile utility
1668
      Added macros:
1669
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1670
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1671
 
1672
      Corrected
1673
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1674
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1675
 
1676
      Extended
1677
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1678
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1679
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1680
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1685
Major changes:
1686
 
1687
Minor changes:
1688
 
1689
Internal changes
1690
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1691
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1692
      Useful side effects include:
1693
 
1694
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1695
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1696
 
1697
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1698
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1699
 
1700
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1701
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1702
        BuildPkgArchive
1703
 
313 dpurdie 1704
    * Perl Modules
1705
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1706
      release. This will:
1707
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1708
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1709
          reported by ERG.
1710
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

1715
Major changes:
1716
 
1717
Minor changes:
1718
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1719
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1720
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1721
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1722
 
1723
    * Jats label utility
1724
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1725
 
1726
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1727
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1728
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1729
 
1730
    * Jats core
1731
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1732
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1733
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1742
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1743
      This is now fixed.
1744
 
309 dpurdie 1745
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1746
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1747
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1748
 
1749
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1750
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

1757
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1758
    * Generating makefiles
1759
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1760
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1761
      an error.
1762
 
1763
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1764
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1765
 
1766
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1767
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1773
Major changes:
1774
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1775
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1776
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1777
 
1778
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1779
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1780
 
1781
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1782
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1783
      Support includes
1784
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1785
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1786
 
1787
Minor changes:
1788
    * Build file processing
1789
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1790
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1791
 
1792
    * MOS builds
1793
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1794
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1795
 
1796
    * MOS builds
1797
      New 'known' product: PICP
1798
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1799
 
1800
    * GenerateFiles directive
1801
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1802
        under windows.
1803
 
1804
        .
1805
 
1806
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1807
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1808
 
1809
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1810
      to the output stream.
1811
 
1812
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1813
 
1814
    * Windows Shell
1815
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1816
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1817
 
1818
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1819
 
1820
    * H8S toolset
1821
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1822
 
1823
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1824
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1825
 
1826
Internal changes
1827
    * WinCe builds
1828
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1829
      content of the file.
1830
 
1831
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1832
 
1833
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1834
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1846
Major changes:
1847
 
1848
Minor changes:
1849
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1850
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1851
      Changes are transparent to users.
1852
 
1853
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1854
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1855
      this occurs.
1856
 
1857
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1858
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1859
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1860
      automated build framework.
1861
 
1862
    * jats sandbox command
1863
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1864
      'create' command.
1865
 
1866
    * jats command aliases. Added
1867
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1868
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1873
Major changes:
1874
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1875
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1876
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1877
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1878
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1879
      will work as expected
1880
 
1881
Minor changes:
1882
    * VS2008 Toolset
1883
      Picking up incorrect config details
1884
      May result in a warning message.
1885
 
1886
    * gen_cots utility
1887
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1888
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1889
 
1890
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1891
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

1939
Major changes:
1940
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1941
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1942
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1943
 
1944
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1945
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1946
 
1947
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1948
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1949
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1950
           names cannot be changed.
1951
 
1952
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1953
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1954
 
1955
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1956
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1957
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1958
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1959
 
1960
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1961
      file.
1962
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1963
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1964
      MyPackage.dpk.
1965
 
1966
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1967
      file.
1968
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1969
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1970
      MyDll.dpr.
1971
 
1972
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1973
      file.
1974
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1975
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1976
      MyProg.dpr.
1977
 
1978
Minor changes:
1979
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1980
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1981
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1982
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1983
 
1984
    * BuildVersion directive
1985
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1986
      in a Delphi Unit.
1987
 
1988
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1989
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1990
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1991
      'know' the location of the files.
1992
 
1993
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
1994
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
1995
 
1996
Internal Changes:
1997
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
1998
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
1999
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2000
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2001
 
2002
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2003
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2004
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2009
Major changes:
2010
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds

2012
      information for purely C++ builds.
2013
 
289 dpurdie 2014

2066
      used in the build.
2067
 
2068

2069
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2070
 
2071
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2072
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2073
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2074
 
2075
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2076

277 dpurdie 2080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2081
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2082
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2083
 
279 dpurdie 2084
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2085
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2086
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2087
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2088
 
2089
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2090
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2091
 
2092
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2093
 
2094
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2095
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2096
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2097
 
2098
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2099
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2100
        processed.
2101
 
2102
      Removed the '-delete' option
2103
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2104
 
277 dpurdie 2105
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2106
    * Sandbox command
2107
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2108
 
2109
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2110
      target from consideration in the build set.
2111
 
2112
    * MCR Toolset
2113
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2114
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2115
 
2116
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2117
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2118
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2119
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2120
 
2121
    * Jats run_test command
2122
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2123
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2124
 
2125
    * descpkg file
2126
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2127
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2128
 
2129
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2130
     Now contains build trace information
2131
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2132
 
2133
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2134
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2135
     it contains 'jar' files.
2136
 
2137
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2138
 
2139
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2140
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2141
 
2142
   * BuildVersion directive
2143
     Form:
2144
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2145
     now works as expected.
2146
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2147
 
2148
Internal Changes:
2149
 
2150
    * Error reporting mechanism
2151
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2152
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2153
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

2165
    then starts.
2166
 
2167
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2168
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2169
 
2170
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2171
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2172
    non-platform option.
2173
 
279 dpurdie 2174
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

2313
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2314
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
2329
 
2330
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
2331
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
2332
 
2333
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
2334

        define_source_file              (Default)
2337
 
2338
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2339
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2340
 
2341
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
2342
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
2343
      compatibility.
2344
 
2345

2349
            --InstallProg=list
2350
 
2351
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
2352
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
2353
      GenerateCab.
2354
 
2355
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags

Internal Changes:
2368
    * These utility 'gen_winrc' now uses module used by the BuildVersion
2369
      directive to created the resource file.
2370
 
2371
      The BuildVersion.pm module has been modified to allows it to be used in

2573
 
2574
Minor changes:
2575
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2576
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

2591
         Support extends to allow:
2592
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2593
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2594
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2595
 
2596
        VS2005
2597
         Support extends to allow:
2598
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2599
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2600
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2601
 
2602
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2603
      through a version selector:
2604
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2605
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2606
 
2607
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2608
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2609
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2610
 
2611
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2612
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2613
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2614
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2615
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2616
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2617
          under VS2005.
2618
 
2619
Minor changes:
2620
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
2625
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2626
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2627
 
2628
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2629
 
2630
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2631
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2632
 
2633
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2634
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2635
      a minimal value of perl.
2636
 
2637
      Removed excessive require statements.
2638
 
2639

        1) Windows
2643
        2) Linux
2644
 
2645
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2646
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2647
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2648
      machines.
2649
 
2650
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2651

2655
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2656
 
2657
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2658
      wrapper scripts.
2659
 
2660
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2661
      Correct problem with location of build files.

    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2758
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2759
    the files in order to use them.
2760
 
2761
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2762
    locate the file.
2763
 
2764
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2765
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2766
 
2767
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2768
        * CSharp
2769
        * Properties
2770
        * WinRC
2771
 
2772
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2773
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2774
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2775
    Value is correctly assigned.

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
2779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2780
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2781
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2782
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2783
 
2784
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2785
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2786
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2787
 
2788
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2789
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2790
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2791
 
2792
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2793
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2794
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2795
 
2796
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2797
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2798
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2799
    correct.
2800
 
2801
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2802
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2803
 
2804
Minor changes:
2805
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2806
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2807
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2808
 
2809
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2810
    This will simplify new user setup.
2811
 
2812
  * All Unix Toolsets
2813
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2814
    on unix systems
2815
 
2816
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2817
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2818
    on some Solaris Machines.
2819
 
2820
  * JATS -version=<version>
2821
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2822
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2823
 
2824

    * New platform: WCEPSION_500_emu [DEVI-047234]
245 dpurdie 2829
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 2830
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
2831
 
2832
Minor changes:
2833
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
2834
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
2835
 
2836
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
2837
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets

2839
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
2840
      Does not work with LMOS
2841
 
2842
    * Readme.txt file
2843
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
2844
 
2845
    * Misc Cleanup
2846
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats
2847
      Move PostInstall script into the BUILD directory.

  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
2854
    Force compiler option -nOj
2855
    The default compiler option (-Oj) has been seen to cause problems with some
2856
    code. Problem reported/analysed by rparker and thunter.

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
2865
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
2866
 
2867
  * JATS builds
2868
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
2869
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
2870
    mode.
2871
 
2872
  * JATS makefiles
2873
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2874
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2875
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2876
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2877
                            SetList directive.
2878
 
2879

2886
        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
2887
 
2888
  * JATS buildfile processing
2889
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
2890
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
2891
    of JATS.
2892
 
2893
  * JATS save_build utility
2894
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
2895
    which may be reserved.
2896
 
2897

    Displays the correct 'Source Path' in the Release Manager Information.
2900
    Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only
2901
 
2902
  * JATS sandbox (experimental)
2903

2911
 
2912
    * Escrow tool
2913
      Creates a simple HTML file that details all the packages with a short
2914
      description.

Minor changes:
239 dpurdie 2922
    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
2923
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
2924
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
2925
 
2926
    * MOS Toolset
2927
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
2928
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
2929
 
2930
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
2931
      can have production (PIC) components.
2932

      The extractfiles option will now duplicate empty directories
2938
 
2939
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
2940
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
2941
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
2942
      Previously only worked on Windows

231 dpurdie 2975
Minor changes:
235 dpurdie 2976
    * Extract/Release utility.
2977
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
2978
      that can handle spaces
2979
 
2980
    * MOS Compiler
2981
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2982
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
2983
 
2984
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2985
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
2986
      descpkg files to be copied.
2987
 
2988
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
2989
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
2990
 
2991
    * JATS ANT command
2992
      Better selection of the ant build file
2993
 
2994
    * Build directive: BuildVersion
2995
      Extended the WinRc version file to allow the name of an icon to be
2996
      embedded in the .RC file.

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 3004
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
3005
 
3006
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
3007
      <project> field.
3008
 
3009
    * CCdiff utility
3010
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
3011
 
3012
    * Escrow utility
3013
      Quote 'path' in the generated extraction commands
3014
      Allow escrow to be based on a single Release Manager package
3015
 
3016
    * Minor Perl-10 tweaks

3020
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3021
Major changes:
3022
 
3023
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3024
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3025
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3026
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3027
 
3028
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3029
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3030
 
3031
    * Jats wrapper
3032
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3033
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3034
 
3035

Version: 2.72.00000.cr                                Released: 11-Jan-08
3037
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3038
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3039
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3040
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3041
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3042
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3043
 
3044
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3045
 
3046
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3047
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3048
 
3049
    * Running Jats
3050
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3051
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3052
      This may affect some windows developers.
3053
 
3054
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3055
      Future versions will generate an error.
3056
 
3057
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3058
 
3059
Minor changes:
3060
    * Perl Version Check
3061
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3062
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3063
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3064
 
3065
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3066
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3067
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3068
      build.
3069
 
3070
    * Jats Internals
3071
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3072
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3073
 
3074
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3075
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3076
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3077
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3078
      process.
3079
 
3080
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3081
      Only works under Windows.
3082
 
3083
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3084
 
3085
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3086
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3087
 
3088
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3089
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3090
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3091
 
3092
    * Jats eprog
3093
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3094
      directory.
3095
 
3096
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3097
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3098
      build metrics.
3099

3102
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3103
Major changes:
3104
 
3105
Minor changes:
3106
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3107
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3108
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3109
      automated build system. New options are:
3110
        -pname=Package_Name
3111
        -pversion=Package_Version
3112
 
3113
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3114
      transferring the package. New options are:
3115
        -test
3116
 
3117
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3118
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3119
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3120
 
3121
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3122
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3123
 
3124
    * Solaris Toolset
3125
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3126
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3127
      programs are still supported.
3128

3131
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3132
Major changes:
3133
 
3134
Minor changes:
3135
    * WINCE toolsets
3136
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3137
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3138
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3139
      when header files cannot be found.
3140
 
3141
    * GenerateFiles directive
3142
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3143
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3144
      that are difficult to solve.
3145
 
3146
    * MakePerlModule directive
3147
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3148
      to the the module builder.
3149
 
3150
    * Jats Tool: label
3151
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3152
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3153
      -dirs=xxx options.
3154
 
3155
    * Jats Tool: release
3156
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3157
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3158
 
3159
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3160
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3161
 
3162
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3163
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3164
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3165
 
3166
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3232
 
3233
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'

3243
 
3244
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3245
      inconsistent packages.
3246
 
3247
    * jats make help
3248
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3249
      available within the current build.
3250
 
3251
    * jats makefiles
3252
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3253
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3254
 
3255
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3256
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3257
 
3258
    * gcc toolset
3259
      SharedLibries.
3260
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3261
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3262
 
3263
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3264
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3265
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3266
 
3267
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3268
        New options:
3269
            --MultiScan
3270
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3271
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3272
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

3278
Major changes:
3279
 
3280
Minor changes:
3281
    PackageLib directive
3282
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3283
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3284
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3285
 
3286
    MakefileGenerate directive
3287
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3288
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3289
 
3290
    Multiple Parent detection
3291
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3292
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3293
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3294
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3295
 
3296
    Solaris Toolset
3297
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3298
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3299
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3300
    link.
3301
 
3302
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3303
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3304
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3305
 
3306
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3307
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3308
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3309
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3314
Major changes:
3315
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3316
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3317
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3318
 
3319
    Summary of changes:
3320
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3321
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3322
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3323
          flexibility.
3324
 
3325
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3326
 
3327
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3328
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3329
          interface directory and associated build information.
3330
 
3331
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3332
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3333
          than one second.
3334
 
3335
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3336
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3337
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3338
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3339
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3340
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3341
 
3342
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3343
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3344
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3345
 
3346
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3347
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3348
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3349
          building them.
3350
 
3351
        - Detection of build file changes
3352
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3353
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3354
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3355
 
3356
        - Quieter make output
3357
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3358
 
3359
 
3360
Minor changes:
3361
    MakeAnt Directive
3362
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3363
 
3364
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3365
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3366
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3367
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3368
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3369
 
3370
    CSHARP toolset
3371
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3372

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3380
    are generated.
3381
 
3382
    MakeAnt
3383
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3384
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3385
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3386
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3387
 
3388
    MCR platform

    New option: --PackageBase
3400
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3401
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3402
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3403
 
3404
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3405
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3406
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3407
        package image being created.

3427
 
3428
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3429
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3430
 
3431
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3432
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3433
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3434
 
3435
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3436
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3437
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3467
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3468
 
3469
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3470
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3471
      last.
3472
 
3473
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3474
 
3475
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3476
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3477
 
3478
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3479
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3480
 
3481
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3482
 
3483
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3484
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3485
 
3486
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3487
 
3488
 
3489
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3490

      dependent packages.
3504
 
3505
    * RunTest operation

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3514
Major changes:
3515
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3516
 
3517
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3518
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3519
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3520
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3521
      path.
3522
 
3523
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3524
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3525
      reproducible.
3526
 
3527
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3528
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3529
 
3530
      There are several aspects to the change
3531
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3532
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3533
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3534
 
3535
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3536
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3537
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3538
          controlled separately.
3539
 
3540
Minor changes:
3541
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3542
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3543
        Remove duplicates
3544

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3548
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3549
Major changes:
3550
 
3551
Minor changes:
3552
    * Makefile sanity test
3553
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3554
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3555
 
3556
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3557
      x86 machine.
3558
 
3559
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3560
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3561
 
3562
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3563
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3564
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3565
Major changes:
3566
    * RunTest directive
3567
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3568
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3569
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3570
 
3571
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3572
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3573
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3574
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3575
 
3576
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3577
        builder within the current toolset.
3578
 
3579
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3580
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3581
 
3582
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3583
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3584
      containing the RunTest directive.
3585
 
3586
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3587
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3588
 
3589
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3590
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3591
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3592
 
3593
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3594
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3595
                            P or D suffix.
3596
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3597
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3598
 
3599
Minor changes:
3600
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3601
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3602
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3603
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3604
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3605
 
3606
    * Save Build Utility
3607
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3608
      used in a ripple build.
3609
 
3610
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3611
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3612
 
3613
    * Release Utility
3614
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3615
      when an error is encountered.
3616
 
3617
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3618
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3619
 
3620
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3621
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3622
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3623
 
3624
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3625
      before the makefiles are created.
3626
 
3627
    * TestProg directive
3628
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3629
 
3630
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3631
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3632

Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
3635
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3636
Major changes:
3637
    * New build target
3638
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3639
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3640
 
3641
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3642
            DEVLINUX
3643
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3644
 
3645
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3646
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3647
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3648
 
3649
Minor changes:
3650
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3651
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3652
 
3653
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3654
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3655
 
3656
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3657
      and .cs files.
3658
 
3659
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3660
      thing.
3661
 
3662
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3663
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3664
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3665
      were it places temp files.
3666
 
3667
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3668
      interaction with other builds.
3669
 
3670
    * Release utility command
3671
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3672
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3673
      component in the clearcase tag name.

3679
  * Support for building CSHARP code
3680
    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
3681
 
3682
    Supports the handling of .resx files
3683
 
3684
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
3685
    libraries
3686
 
3687
Minor changes:
3688
  * Unit Tests
3689
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3690
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3691
 
3692
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3693
    as a Script.

Minor changes:
3724
  * WINCE Support
3725
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3726
 
3727
  * Removed the following targets
3728
        TP5600
3729
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3730
        TP5600_EMU
3731
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3732
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3733
 
3734
  * Deployment
3735
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3736
 
3737
  * build.pl
3738
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3739
 
3740
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3741
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3742
 
3743
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3744
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3745
    build.
3746
 
3747
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3748
 
3749
  * Tool: escrow
3750
     New features
3751
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3752
     are not in the SBOM.
3753
 
3754
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3755
 
3756
     Specify packages to be ignored.

3760
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3761
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3762
Major changes:
3763
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3764
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3765
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3766
 
3767
  * GenerateFiles
3768
    Added the options:
3769
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3770
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3771
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3772
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3773
 
3774
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3775
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3776
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3777
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3778
                                  required.
3779
 
3780
 
3781
Minor changes:
3782
  * GenerateFile directive
3783
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3784
 
3785
  * GCC Toolset
3786
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3787
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3788
    be rebuilt.
3789
 
3790
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3791
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3792
 
3793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3794
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3795
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3796
Major changes:
3797
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3798
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3799
    environment variables.
3800
 
3801
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3802
            moved.
3803
 
3804
    This will affect users that:
3805
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3806
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3807
 
3808
        2) Use the ABT system
3809
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3810
           the required configuration
3811
 
3812
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3813
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3814
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3815
    Windows
3816
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3817
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3818
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3819
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3820
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3821
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3822
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3823
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3824
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3825
 
3826
 
3827
  * New build platforms
3828
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3829
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3830
 
3831
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3832
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3833
 
3834
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3835
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3836
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3837
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3838
 
3839
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3840
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3841
    release.
3842
 
3843
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3844
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3845
 
3846
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3847
    need to be converted.
3848
 
3849
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3850
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3851
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3852
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3853
    used for different targets platforms.
3854
 
3855
  * Sandbox support
3856
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3857
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3858
 
3859
    New command: jats sandbox ...

3866
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3867
Major changes:
3868
  * MakeAnt directive
3869
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3870
 
3871
    New options
3872
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3873
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3874
 
3875
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3876
    run_unit_tests phase.
3877
 
3878
  * Sandbox support
3879
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3880
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3881
 
3882
Minor changes:
3883
  * jats build
3884
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3885
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3886
 
3887
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3888
 
3889
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3890
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3891
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3892
 
3893
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3894
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3895
 
3896
  * JATS.BAT
3897
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3898
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3899
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3900
 
3901
  * jats label
3902
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3903
 
3904
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3905
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3906
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3907
Major changes:
3908
  * New build platform:
3909
        LMOS_TP5600
3910
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3911
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3912
 
3913
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3914
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3915
    describe the group of platforms.
3916
 
3917
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3918
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3919
    build these targets.
3920
 
3921
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3922
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3923
 
3924
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3925
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3926
 
3927
  * New build platform: WINCE
3928
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3929
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3930
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3931
 
3932
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3933
            WCEIT3000
3934
            WCEPA961
3935
            WCEPA962
3936
            WCEPCM7220
3937
            WCEPSION_420
3938
            WCEPSPC_arm
3939
            WCEPSPC_emu
3940
            WCEX86A420
3941
            WCEX86A500
3942
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
3943
 
3944
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3945
 
3946
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3947
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3948
    that contain packaging directives.
3949
 
3950
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3951
    very unusual configurations.
3952
 
3953
Minor changes:
3954
  * Directive: PackageFile
3955
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3956
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3957
    an '='.
3958
 
3959
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3960
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3961
 
3962
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3963
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3964
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3965
 
3966
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3967
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3968
 
3969
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3970
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3971
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3972
Major changes:
3973
 
3974
  * JATS release command
3975
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3976
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3977
 
3978
    Rules are:
3979
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3980
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3981
                            File will be placed on a branch
3982
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3983
                            New directory will branch
3984
 
3985
Minor changes:
3986
  * JATS release command
3987
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3988
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3989
 
3990
  * JATS label command
3991
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
3992
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
3993
 
3994
  * JATS make
3995
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
3996
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
3997
    was re-packaged.
3998
 
3999
  * JATS escrow
4000
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4001
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4002
 
4003
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4004
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4005
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4006
 
4007
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4008
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4009
    interface directory.
4010
 
4011
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4012
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4013
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4014
    directory as seen by the package.
4015
 
4016
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4017
 
4018
  * JAVA 6
4019
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4020
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4021
 
4022
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4023
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4024
 
4025
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4026
 
4027
  * Jats command: vars
4028
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4029
    These indicate potential problems.
4030
 
4031
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4032
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4033
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4034
Major changes:
4035
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4036
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4037
    libarry is also created.
4038
 
4039
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4040
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4041
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4042
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4043
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4044
    information contained within the file.
4045
 
4046
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4047
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4048
 
4049
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4050
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4051
 
4052
  * Building Perl Modules
4053
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4054
    documentation on the build machine.
4055
 
4056
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4057
 
4058
Minor changes:
4059
  * jats create_dpkg
4060
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4061
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4062
 
4063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4064
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4065
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4066
Major changes:
4067
  * JATS JAVA build target
4068
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4069
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4070
 
4071
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4072
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4073
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4074
    is then picked up as the default version.
4075
 
4076
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4077
    build.pl file.
4078
 
4079
Minor changes:
4080
  * jats release
4081
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4082
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4083
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4084
 
4085
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4086
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4087
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4088
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4089
    the name of the view.
4090
 
4091
  * GenerateFiles directive
4092
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4093
 
4094
  * MOS Toolset
4095
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4096
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4097
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4098
 
4099
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4100
 
4101
 
4102
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4103
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4104
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4105
Major changes:
4106
 
4107
Minor changes:
4108
  * JATS environment
4109
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4110
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4111
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4112
 
4113
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4114
 
4115
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4116
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4117
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4118
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4119
    to be packaged.
4120
 
4121
  * Generated makefiles
4122
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4123
 
4124
  * Generating MOS THX files
4125
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4126
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4127
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4128
 
4129
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4130
 
4131
  * JATS release
4132
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4133
 
4134
  * JATS extract
4135
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4136
 
4137
  * JATS Toolset
4138
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4139
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4140
 
4141
 
4142
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4143
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4144
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4145
Major changes:
4146
 
4147
Minor changes:
4148
  * jats label
4149
    Added a -vob=name option
4150
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4151
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4152
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4153
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4154
 
4155
    Added a -user=name option
4156
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4157
    label to the named user.
4158
 
4159
  * jats release
4160
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4161
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4162
 
4163
  * JATS build.pl
4164
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4165
    ie:
4166
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4167
 
4168

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4170
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4171
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4172
Major changes:
4173
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4174
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4175
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4176
    the makefile internals. ie:
4177
        --Var(BuildName)
4178
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4179
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4180
 
4181
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4182
 
4183
  * GenerateFiles
4184
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4185
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4186
 
4187
  * BuildPlatforms
4188
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4189
 
4190
Minor changes:
4191
  * GCC Toolset
4192
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4193
 
4194
Internal changes:
4195
  * GenerateFiles
4196
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4197
 
4198
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4199
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4200
 
4201
 
4202
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4203
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4204
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4205
Major changes:
4206
  * Caching JATS
4207
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4208
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4209
 
4210
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4211
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4212
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4213
 
4214
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4215
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4216
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4217
 
4218
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4219
 
4220
Minor changes:
4221
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4222
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4223
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4224
 
4225
  * jats build
4226
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4227
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4228
    processed by the build.
4229
 
4230
  * jats build
4231
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4232
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4233
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4234
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4235
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4236
 
4237
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4238
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4239
    Path is not specified.
4240
 
4241
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4242
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4243
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4244
        --Dir=$Pinc
4245
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4246
 
4247
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4248
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4249
    Windows platform.
4250
 
4251
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4252
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4253
            by 'purecov.
4254
 
4255
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4256
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4257
 
4258
        - OPTIONS=purify
4259
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4260
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4261
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4262

4265
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
4266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4267
Major changes:
4268
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4269
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4270
    Example:
4271
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4272
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4273
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4274
 
4275
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4276
    been determined.
4277
 
4278
Minor changes:
4279
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4280
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4281
    located at build-time.
4282
 
4283
  * Unix based systems
4284
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4285
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4286
 
4287
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4288
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4289
    driver being built.
4290
 
4291
 
4292
------------------------------------------------------------------------

4295
Major changes:
4296
 
4297
 
4298
Minor changes:
4299
  * jats_rewrite tool
4300
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
4301
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
4302
 
4303
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
4304
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4305
 
4306
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4307
    dependancy information within a package.
4308
 
4309
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4310
    messages.
4311
 
4312
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4313
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
4314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4315
Major changes:
4316
  * makefile.pl directives
4317
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
4318
 
4319
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4320
 
4321
    GenerateFiles.
4322
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4323
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4324
                      be run on every invocation.
4325
 
4326
 
4327
Minor changes:
4328
  * Added the jats version command
4329
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
4330
 
4331
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
4332
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4333
  There are two mechanism:
4334
 
4335
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4336
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4337
 
4338
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4339
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4340
 
4341
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4342
  default.
4343
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
4344
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

4348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4349
Major changes:
4350
  * SunWorks Toolset
4351
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4352
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4353
    It is based on machine type.
4354
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4355
 
4356
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4357
 
4358
Minor changes:
4359
  * Perl DBI interface
4360
    Removed the message showing database connection
4361
 
4362
  * JATS internal library
4363
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
4364
 
4365
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4366
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
4367
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4368
Major changes:
4369
  * GCC Toolset
4370
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
4371
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
4372

4376
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4377
    TP5600_EMU
4378
 
4379
Minor changes:
4380
  * descpkg file reader
4381
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
4382
    field separator.
4383
 
4384
  * JATS eprog command
4385
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4386
 
4387
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4388
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4389
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4390
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4391
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4392
 
4393
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4394
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4395
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4396
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4397
 
4398
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4399
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

4411
 
4412
 
4413
Minor changes:
4414
  * JATS wrapper script
4415
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4416
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4417
    to setup links to system programs.
4418

Major changes:
4438
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4439
    Added CompileOptions
4440
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4441
        no_misalign         - Default
4442
 
4443
        multithread         - Default
4444
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
4445
 
4446
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4447
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
4448
 
4449

        debug_debuginfo
4458
 
4459
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4460
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4461
    Theses are:
4462
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4463
        SOLARIS_AMD
4464
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4465
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4466
 
4467
Minor changes:
4468
  * AT3232 toolset
4469
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

4478
Major changes:
4479
 
4480
Minor changes:
4481
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4482
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4483
    messages
4484
 
4485
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4486
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4487
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4488
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4489
 
4490
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4491
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
4492
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4493
Major changes:
4494
 
4495
Minor changes:
4496
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4497
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4498
    library without creating the body of the library:
4499
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4500
 
4501
 
4502
  * MOS toolsets
4503
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4504
    library without creating the body of the library:
4505
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4506
 
4507
  * JATS BIN directories
4508
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4509
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4510
    using autoconf.
4511
 
4512
  * Generate directive
4513
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4514
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4515
 
4516
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4517
 
4518

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4520
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4521
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4522
Major changes:
4523
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4524
    Initial release.
4525
 
4526
Minor changes:
4527
 
4528
 
4529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4530
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4531
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4532
Major changes:
4533
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4534
    Initial release.
4535
 
4536
  * Packaging directives
4537
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4538
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4539
 
4540
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4541
        SOLARIS
4542
        WIN32
4543
 
4544
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4545
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4546
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4547
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4548
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4549
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4550
 
4551
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4552
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4553
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4554
 
4555
 
4556
Minor changes:
4557
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4558
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4559
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4560
 
4561
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4562
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4563
    location
4564
 
4565
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4566
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4567
 
4568
  * Utility genrc
4569
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4570
 
4571
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4572
    Added option: -new
4573
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4574
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4575
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4576
 
4577
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4578
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4579
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4580
 
4581
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4582
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4583
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4584
 
4585
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4586
   features - in a uniform manner.
4587
 
4588
 
4589
Internal Changes:
4590
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4591
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4592
 
4593
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4594
        1) Platform information available at build time
4595
        2) Dynamic platform names
4596
 
4597
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4598
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4599
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4600
 
4601
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4602
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4603
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4604
 
4605
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4606
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4607
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4608
    needed.
4609
 
4610
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4611
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4612
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4613
    files from all of these.
4614

4616
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

4618
Major changes:
4619
 
4620
Minor changes:
4621
  * WinCE toolset
4622
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4623
 
4624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4625
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4627
Major changes:
4628
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4629
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4630
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4631
 
4632
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4633
 
4634
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4635
    the operations.
4636
 
4637
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4638
 
4639
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4640
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4641
 
4642
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4643
 
4644
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4645
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4646
 
4647
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4648
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4649
    Extended the built-in help
4650
    Added useful error messages
4651
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4652
 
4653
  * WinCE toolset
4654
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4655
 
4656
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4657
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4658
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4659
 
4660
Minor changes:
4661
  * JATS wrapper script
4662
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4663
    the command line.
4664
 
4665
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4666
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4667
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4668
 
4669
Internal Changes:
4670
  * Common Error Reporting
4671
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4672
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4673
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4674
    level.
4675
 
4676
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4677
    displayed.
4678
 
4679
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4680
 
4681
  * Added JatsSystem module
4682
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4684
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

Major changes:
4687
 
4688
Minor changes:
4689
  * BR Compiler toolset
4690
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4691
    .def files to include other files.
4692
 
4693
  * IAR toolset
4694
    Added AT7272 support
4695
 
4696
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4697
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4698
 
4699
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4700
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06

4702
Major changes:
4703
 
4704
Minor changes:
4705
  * BR Compiler toolset
4706
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4707
    use.
4708
 
4709
 
4710
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4711
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4712
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4713
Major changes:
4714
 
4715
Minor changes:
4716
  * Mictotec toolset
4717
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4718
    builds.
4719
 
4720
  * JATS Core
4721
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4722
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4723
    behaviour.
4724
 
4725
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4726
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4727
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4728
Major changes:
4729
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4730
    Deployment package will be affected.
4731
 
4732
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4733
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4734
 
4735
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4736
 
4737
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4738
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4739
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4740
    packages.
4741
 
4742
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4743
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4744
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4745
 
4746
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4747
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4748
 
4749
Minor changes:
4750
  * SubDir directive
4751
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4752
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4753
 
4754
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4755
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4756
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4757
    of the file usage.
4758
 
4759
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4760
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4761
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4762
 
4763
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4764
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4765
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4766
 
4767
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4768
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4769
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4770
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4771
 
4772
 
4773
Internal Changes:
4774
  * Code refactor
4775
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4776
 
4777
  * Deployment utilities
4778
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4779
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4780
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4781
    the module can locate the file.
4782
 
4783
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4784
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4785
 
4786
  * JATS core
4787
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4788
 
4789
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4790
 
4791
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4792
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4793
    through the use of environment variables.
4794
 
4795
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4796
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4797
 
4798
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4799
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4800
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4801
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4802
 
4803
  * Make environment
4804
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4805
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4806
 
4807

4809
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4810
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4811
Major changes:
4812
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4813
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4814
 
4815
 
4816
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4817
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4819
 
4820
Not Released.
4821
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4822
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4823
 
4824
 
4825
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4826
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4827
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4828
Major changes:
4829
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4830
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4831
    radically replaced.
4832
 
4833
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4834
    Usage:
4835
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4836
 
4837
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4838
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4839
    this solution:
4840
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4841
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4842
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4843
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4844
 
4845
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4846
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4847
    order to work.
4848
 
4849
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4850
    reduced functionality.
4851
 
4852
 
4853
Minor changes:
4854
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4855
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4856
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4857
 
4858
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4859
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4860
    within the makefiles.
4861
        Options:
4862
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4863
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4864
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4865
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4866
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4867
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4868
        Useage:
4869
 
4870
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4871
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4872
 
4873
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4874
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4875
    is not in the current directory.
4876
 
4877
  * Jats Command: ant'
4878
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4879
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4880
 
4881
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4882
 
4883
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4884
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4885
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4886
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4887
 
4888
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4889
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4890
    Thus
4891
 
4892
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4893
 
4894
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4895
 
4896
 
4897
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4898
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4899
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4900
Major changes:
4901
 
4902
Minor changes:
4903
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4904
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4905
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4906
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4907
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4908
 
4909
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4910
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4911
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4912
 
4913
Internal changes:
4914
  * JATS toolsets
4915
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4916
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4917
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4918
 
4919
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4920
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4921
 
4922
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4923
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4924
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4925
Major changes:
4926
  * Jats command: etool
4927
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4928
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4929
 
4930
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4931
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4932
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4933
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4934
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4935
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4936
 
4937
Minor changes:
4938
 
4939
 
4940
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4941
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4942
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4943
Major changes:
4944
  * JATS environment variables
4945
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4946
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4947
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4948
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4949
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4950
 
4951
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4952
              Remote repository
4953
 
4954
    Added GBE_DPLY
4955
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4956
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4957
 
4958
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4959
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4960
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4961
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4962
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4963
 
4964
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4965
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4966
 
4967
 
4968
Minor changes:
4969
  * JATS utility: build
4970
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4971
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4972
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4973
 
4974
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4975
    Ensure label is not locked
4976
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4977
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4978
 
4979
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4980
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4981
    to a specific type of build.
4982
 
4983
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
4984
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
4985
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
4986
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
4987
 
4988
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
4989
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
4990
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
4991
 
4992
  * JATS utility: release
4993
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
4994
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
4995
 
4996
  * JATS utility: label
4997
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
4998
    when it is being created.
4999
 
5000
Internal Changes
5001
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5002
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5003
 
5004
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5005
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5006
 
5007
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5008
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5009
    different results.
5010
 
5011
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5012
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5013
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5014
 
5015
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5016
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5017
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5018
Major changes:
5019
 
5020
  * MCR toolset
5021
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5022
 
5023
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5024
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5025
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5026
Major changes:
5027
  * WIN32 utilities
5028
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5029
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5030
 
5031
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5032
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5033
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5034
 
5035
Minor changes:
5036
  * BuildVersion
5037
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5038
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5039
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5040
 
5041
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5042
 
5043
  * Unix Builds
5044
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5045
    library or a shared library.
5046
 
5047
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5048
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5049
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5050
    start with 'lib'.
5051
 
5052
  * BuildPkgArchive
5053
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5054
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5055
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5056
 
5057
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5058
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5060
Major changes:
5061
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5062
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5063
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5064
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5065
    being manually maintained.
5066
 
5067
 
5068
Minor changes:
5069
  * MakeAnt directive
5070
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5071
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5072
    supports ANT builds.
5073
 
5074
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5075
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5076
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5077
 
5078
  * Label utility
5079
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5080
    files to be labeled.
5081
 
5082
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5083
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5084
    on Solaris.
5085
 
5086
  * Generated makefiles
5087
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5088
    nothing.
5089
 
5090
  * MOS Toolset
5091
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5092
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5093
    modules.
5094
 
5095
  * Utility: gen_cots
5096
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5097
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5098
 
5099
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5100
 
5101
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5102
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5103
 
5104
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5105
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5106
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5107
Major changes:
5108
  None
5109
 
5110
Minor changes:
5111
  * DEVI addressed
5112
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5113
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5114
 
5115
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5116
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5117
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5118
 
5119
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5120
 
5121
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5122
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5123
 
5124
  * RunTest directive
5125
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5126
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5127
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5128
 
5129
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5130
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5131
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5132
    packaged under JATS
5133
 
5134
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5135
          supported within JATS.
5136
 
5137
  * Jats utility wrapper
5138
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5139
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5140
 
5141
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5142
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5143
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5144
 
5145
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5146
    Eg: jats ant
5147
 
5148
  * Jats utility wrapper
5149
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5150
 
5151
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5152
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5153
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5154
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5155
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5156
 
5157
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5158
    expect a build.pl file.
5159
 
5160
  * Jats utility wrapper
5161
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5162
 
5163
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5164
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5165
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5166
 
5167
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5168
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5169
 
5170
  * Build files
5171
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5172
    ERG extensions.
5173
 
5174

5175
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5176
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5177
Major changes:
5178
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5179
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5180
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5181
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5182
 
5183
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5184
 
5185
Minor changes:
5186
  * None
5187
 
5188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5189
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5191
Major changes:
5192
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5193
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5194
    ie:
5195
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5196
 
5197
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5198
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5199
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5200
    environments are compatible.
5201
 
5202
 
5203
Minor changes:
5204
  * BuildName option
5205
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5206
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5207
 
5208
  * jats.bat
5209
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5210
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5211
 
5212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5213
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5214
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5215
Major changes:
5216
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5217
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5218
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5219
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5220
 
5221
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5222
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5223
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5224
 
5225
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5226
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5227
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5228
 
5229
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5230
    transferred.
5231
 
5232
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5233
    See notes below.
5234
 
5235
  * WIN32 toolset
5236
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5237
    correctly.
5238
 
5239
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5240
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5241
 
5242
  * BuildVersion
5243
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5244
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5245
    other langauges as needed.
5246
 
5247
 
5248
Minor changes:
5249
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5250
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5251
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5252
    version strings.
5253
 
5254
  * GenerateFiles directive
5255
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5256
    package or an imported package.
5257
 
5258
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5259
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5260
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5261
 
5262
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5263
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5264
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5265
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5266
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5267
 
5268
Internal Changes
5269
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5270
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5271
    of utilities.
5272
 
5273
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5274
    functions.
5275
 
5276
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5277
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5278
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5279
Major changes:
5280
  * Generated makefiles
5281
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5282
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5283
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5284
 
5285
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5286
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5287
    incorrectly processing:
5288
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5289
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5290
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5291
    confused.
5292
 
5293
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5294
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5295
    The construct
5296
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5297
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5298
    then it works.
5299
 
5300
  * MakeAnt directive
5301
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5302
 
5303
    This option has the following effects
5304
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5305
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5306
 
5307
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5308
           early - in the generated files phase.
5309
 
5310
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5311
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5312
 
5313
 
5314
Minor changes:
5315
  * JATS post-installation script
5316
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5317
 
5318
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5319
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5320
    windows.
5321
 
5322
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5323
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5324
 
5325
  * Jats wrapper script
5326
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5327
        1) Contain spaces
5328
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5329
 
5330
  * Toolset
5331
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5332
 
5333
  * JAVA toolset
5334
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5335
    directive:
5336
 
5337
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5338
 
5339
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5340
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5341
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5342
 
5343
  * GCC Toolset
5344
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5345
 
5346
  * Makefile generation
5347
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5348
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5349
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5350
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5351
    package could not be used.
5352
 
5353
  * Unit Tests
5354
    The following environment variables are set:
5355
 
5356
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5357
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5358
 
5359
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5360
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5361
 
5362
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5363
 
5364
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5365
 
5366
 
5367
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5368
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5369
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5370
Major changes:
5371
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5372
 
5373
    Special features of this toolset.
5374
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5375
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5376
       incorporated within the target image.
5377
 
5378
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5379
       --Set=Name=Value
5380
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5381
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5382
 
5383
       --Ref=name
5384
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5385
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5386
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5387
                will be taken from the build version number.
5388
 
5389
Minor changes:
5390
  * MOS Toolset
5391
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5392
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5393
    packaged.
5394
 
5395
  * Src directive
5396
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5397
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5398
    specifier.
5399
 
5400
  * WIN32 runtime support
5401
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5402
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5403
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5404
 
5405
Internal:
5406
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5407
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5408
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5409
 
5410
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5411
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5412
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5413
Major changes:
5414
    * BuildAlias directive
5415
      Added options.
5416
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5417
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5418
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5419
                          targets.
5420
      Eg:
5421
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5422
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5423
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5424
 
5425
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5426
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5427
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5428
 
5429
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5430
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5431
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5432
 
5433
 
5434
Minor changes:
5435
  * Label utility
5436
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5437
    build.pl file
5438
 
5439
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5440
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5441
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5442
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5443
    --FilterIn option.
5444
 
5445
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5446
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5447
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5448
 
5449
  * Location of descpkg file
5450
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5451
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5452
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5453
 
5454
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5455
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5456
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5457
Major changes:
5458
  * RunTest directive
5459
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5460
    Additional options
5461
      --CopyIn=file
5462
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5463
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5464
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5465
        the test area.
5466
 
5467
    Additional operations
5468
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5469
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5470
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5471
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5472
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5473
    Allows flags:
5474
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5475
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5476
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5477
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5478
 
5479
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5480
    existence is tested.
5481
 
5482
  * Packaging Directives
5483
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5484
    such as LMOS.
5485
 
5486
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5487
 
5488
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5489
 
5490
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5491
 
5492
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5493
 
5494
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5495
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5496
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5497
 
5498
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5499
 
5500
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5501
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5502
 
5503
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5504
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5505
 
5506
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5507
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5508
 
5509
Minor changes:
5510
  * Script directive
5511
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5512
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5513
 
5514
  * JATS environment
5515
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5516
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5517
    the JATS wrapper script.
5518
 
5519
  * Label utility
5520
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5521
    There are three modes of operation:
5522
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5523
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5524
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5525
 
5526

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5528
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5530
Major changes:
5531
 
5532
Minor changes:
5533
  * label utility
5534
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5535
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5536
 
5537
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5538
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5539
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5540
      --ProgLoader=name
5541
 
5542
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5543
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5544
    Options to do this are:
5545
        --TreeDir=name
5546
        --FilterOut=regexp
5547
        --FilterIn=regexp
5548
        --StripDir
5549
 
5550
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5551
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5552
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5553
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5554
 
5555
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5556
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5557
 
5558
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5559
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5560
 
5561
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5562
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5563
 
5564
 
5565
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5566
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5568
Major changes:
5569
    * Make commands
5570
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5571
 
5572
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5573
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5574
 
5575
    * Label utility
5576
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5577
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5578
 
5579
Minor changes:
5580
    * Toolsets
5581
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5582
      variables and overrides.
5583
 
5584
      The make_init target is always run.
5585
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5586
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5587
 
5588
    * Deployment
5589
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5590
      with deployment operations.
5591
 
5592
    * Release utility
5593
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5594
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5595
      restricted by options within the build.
5596
 
5597
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5598
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5599
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5600
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5601
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5602
 
5603
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5604
      directives.
5605
 
5606
    * MakeProject directive
5607
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5608
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5609
 
5610
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5611
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5612
      is preserved.
5613
 
5614
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5615
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5616
      statements.
5617
 
5618
    * Mugfile generation
5619
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5620
      be placed in the target package.
5621
 
5622
 
5623
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5624
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5625
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5626
Major changes:
5627
    * BuildVersion directive
5628
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5629
      number as well as a patch number.
5630
 
5631
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5632
      number.
5633
 
5634
Minor changes:
5635
    * AddFlags directives
5636
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5637
      duplicate flags being added.
5638
 
5639
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5640
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5641
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5642
 
5643
    * Mug File Generation
5644
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5645
 
5646
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5647
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5648
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5649
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5650
     directory.
5651
 
5652
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5653
     reproducible.
5654
 
5655
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5656
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5658
Major changes:
5659
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5660
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5661
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5662
      longer a list of directories.
5663
 
5664
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5665
      done within the toolset.
5666
 
5667
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5668
 
5669
    * JATS environment variables
5670
      Redefined variable
5671
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5672
                          Previously was a list that included the
5673
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5674
 
5675
      New variable
5676
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5677
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5678
 
5679
 
5680
Minor changes:
5681
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5682
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5683
      target platforms to be extracted.
5684
 
5685
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5686
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5687
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5688
 
5689
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5690
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5691
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5692
 
5693
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5694
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5695
 
5696
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5697
      Support ANT based XML files
5698
 
5699
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5700
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5701
      structure.
5702
 
5703
    * makefile.pl's
5704
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5705
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5706
 
5707
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5708
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5709
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5710
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5711
 
5712
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5713
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5714
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5715
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5716
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5717
      -- Auto.
5718
 
5719
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5720
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5721
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5722
 
5723
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5724
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5725
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5726
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5727
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5728
 
5729
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5730
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5731
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5732
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5733
      installed on the machine.
5734
 
5735
    * WINCE Targets
5736
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5737
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5738
 
5739
 
5740
 
5741
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5742
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5743
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5744
Major changes:
5745
    * WIN32 platforms
5746
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5747
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5748
      and installed packages.
5749
 
5750
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5751
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5752
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5753
 
5754
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5755
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5756
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5757
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5758
      searched when looking for libraries.
5759
 
5760
Minor changes:
5761
    * GenerateFiles directive
5762
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5763
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5764
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5765
                          and drive letter
5766
 
5767
    * Src directive
5768
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5769
      directory of a package.
5770
 
5771
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5772
 
5773
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5774
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5775
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5776
 
5777
    * jats_rewrite utility
5778
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5779
 
5780
 
5781
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5782
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5783
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5784
Major changes:
5785
    * SunWorks production builds
5786
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5787
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5788
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5789
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5790
      compiler documentation.
5791
 
5792
    * MOS Toolset
5793
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5794
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5795
 
5796
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5797
 
5798
Minor changes:
5799
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5800
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5801
      This should not affect current users.
5802
 
5803
    * Mugfile generation
5804
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5805
      specified.
5806
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5807
 
5808
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5809
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5810
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5811
Major changes:
5812
    MOS Toolset
5813
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5814
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5815
 
5816
Minor changes:
5817
    * Jats wrapper script
5818
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5819
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5820
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5821
 
5822
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5823
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5824
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5825
      may be suspect.
5826
 
5827
    * GenerateFiles directive
5828
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5829
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5830
 
5831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5832
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5833
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5834
Major changes:
5835
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5836
      build.xml files.
5837
 
5838
Minor changes:
5839
    * WIN32 toolset.
5840
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5841
 
5842
    * MakeAnt
5843
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5844
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5845
 
5846
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5847
 
5848
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5849
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5850
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5851
 
5852
    * MakeAnt directive
5853
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5854
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5855
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5856
 
5857
      Recommended usage:
5858
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5859
 
5860
Internal Changes
5861
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5862

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5866
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5867
Major changes:
5868
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5869
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5870
      files packaged into the release.
5871
 
5872
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5876
 
5877
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5878
      The recommended platform is:
5879
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5880
 
5881
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5882
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5883
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5884
      components.
5885
 
5886
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

5890
 
5891
Minor changes:
5892
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5893
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5894
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5895
      by the package to be accessed.
5896
 
5897
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5898
      application or visual studio.
5899
 
5900
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5901
      and the JATS Core path.
5902
 
5903
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5904
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5905
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5906
 
5907
    * MOS Toolset
5908
      Add support for the TPT device
5909
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5910
 
5911
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5912
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5913
 
5914
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5915
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5916
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5917
 
5918
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5919
 
5920
Internal Changes
5921
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5922
      in jats.pl
5923
 
5924
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5925
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5926
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5927
Major changes:
5928
    * JATS wrapper script
5929
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5930
 
5931
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5932
 
5933
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5934
 
5935
Minor changes:
5936
    * Deployment support
5937
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5938
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5939
 
5940
    * 'build'
5941
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5942
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5943
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5944
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5945
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5946
 
5947
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5948
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5949
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5950
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5951
                                      the link phase.
5952
 
5953
    * BuildPkgArchive
5954
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5955
      Previously these were ignored.
5956
      Minor code cleanup
5957
 
5958
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5959
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5960
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5961
 
5962
    * SOLARIS targets
5963
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5964
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5965
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5966
 
5967
    * MugFile generation
5968
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5969
      included in the final package.
5970
 
5971
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5972
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5973
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5974
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5975
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5976
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5977
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5978
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5979
 
5980
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5981
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5982
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5983
            --Option=(some_text)
5984
            --Option=[some_text]
5985
            --Option={some_text}
5986
 
5987
Internal Changes
5988
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5989
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5990
      code.
5991

5993
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
5994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5995
Major changes:
5996
    * JATS wrapper script
5997
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
5998
 
5999
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6000
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6001
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6002
      other components.
6003
 
6004
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6005
 
6006
    * JATS
6007
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6008
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6009
 
6010
    * Build operations
6011
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6012
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6013
      packages.
6014
 
6015
    * Make operations
6016
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6017
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6018
 
6019
Minor changes:
6020
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6021
      deployment builds.
6022
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6023
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6024
 
6025
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6026
 
6027
    * build.pl
6028
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6029
        processed. Allows
6030
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6031
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6032
        production.
6033
 
6034
    * MOS toolset
6035
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6036
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6037
 
6038
    * create_dpkg utility
6039
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6040
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6041
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6042
      progress of the build.
6043
 
6044
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6045
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6046
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6047
      system.
6048
 
6049

6050
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6052
Major changes:
6053
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6054
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6055
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6056
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6057
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6058
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6059
 
6060
    * WCEX86A500 target
6061
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6062
 
6063
    * MOS Toolsets
6064
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6065
      the compiler.
6066
 
6067
    * RunTest directive
6068
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6069
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6070
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6071
 
6072
Minor changes:
6073
    * JATS BUILD
6074
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6075
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6076
      highlight bad settings.
6077
 
6078
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6079
      access to extensions.
6080
 
6081
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6082
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6083
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6084
Major changes:
6085
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6086
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6087
 
6088
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6089
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6090
      under unix.
6091
 
6092
Minor changes:
6093
    * label utility
6094
      Added options to:
6095
        o Delete a label
6096
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6097
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6098
 
6099
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6100
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6101
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6102
      Package directives.
6103
 
6104
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6105
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6106
      system.
6107
 
6108
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6109
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6110
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6111
Major changes:
6112
    * MOS Toolset
6113
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6114
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6115
 
6116
    * WIN32 Toolset
6117
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6118
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6119
      list.
6120
 
6121
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6122
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6123
 
6124
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6125
 
6126
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6127
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6128
 
6129
 
6130
Minor changes:
6131
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6132
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6133
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6134
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6135
      corrected.
6136
 
6137
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6138
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6139
 
6140
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6141
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6142
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6143
 
6144
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6145
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6146
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6147
Major changes:
6148
    * WIN32 Toolset
6149
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6150
      use with multithreaded modes.
6151
 
6152
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6153
      --OnlyProd.
6154
 
6155
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6156
      within the makefile.pl.
6157
 
6158
Minor changes:
6159
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6160
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6161
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6162
      platforms.
6163
 
6164
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6165
 
6166
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6167
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6168
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6169
Major changes:
6170
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6171
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6172
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6173
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6174
 
6175
    * Preliminary Support
6176
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6177
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6178
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6179
 
6180
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6181
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6182
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6183
 
6184
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6185
      building. The default build will build both.
6186
 
6187
Minor changes:
6188
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6189
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6190
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6191
 
6192
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6193
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6194
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6195
 
6196
 
6197
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6198
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6199
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6200
Major changes:
6201
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6202
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6203
      or all.
6204
 
6205
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6206
      the library or program.
6207
 
6208
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6209
 
6210
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6211
      library or any debug files.
6212
 
6213
    * GenerateFiles
6214
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6215
 
6216
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6217
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6218
 
6219
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6220
              The filename of the prereq file
6221
 
6222
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6223
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6224
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6225
 
6226
 
6227
Minor changes:
6228
    * create_dpkg utility
6229
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6230
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6231
      the package has been altered.
6232
 
6233
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6234
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

6236
Major changes:
6237
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6238
      This is a WINCE target
6239
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6240
 
6241
    * New toolset
6242
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6243
 
6244
    * Modified toolset
6245
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6246
 
6247
    * Modified toolset
6248
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6249
 
6250
Minor changes:
6251
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6252
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6253
 
6254
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6255
 
6256
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6257
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6258
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6259
 
6260
      The change allows the construct
6261
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6262
      to be replaced by the simpler
6263
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6264
 
6265
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6266
      specified name.    
6267

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6287
Major changes:
6288
    * The "package.pl" file.
6289
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6290
      package name being taken from the build name
6291
 
6292
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6293
      package Build Name.
6294
 
6295
Minor changes:
6296
    * create_dpkg utility
6297
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists

6305
    * Dependancy generator
6306
      Correct two common situations
6307
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6308
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6309
           ansi, but is often done.
6310
 
6311
    * GCC toolset
6312
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6313
      being created in the correct place.
6314
 
6315
    * jats "label"
6316
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6317
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6318
 
6319
 
6320

Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6322
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6323
Major changes:
6324
 
6325
Minor changes:
6326
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6327
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6328
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6329
 
6330
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6331
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6332
 
6333
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6334
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6335
      package was not being transferred.
6336
 
6337

6340
Major changes:
6341
    * Support for solaris_i386
6342
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6343
      binaries for this target.
6344
 
6345
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6346
      with the GCC compiler.
6347
 
6348
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6349
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6350
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6351
 
6352
Minor changes:
6353
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6354
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6355
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6356
 
6357
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6358
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6359

6361
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6363
Major changes:
6364
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6365
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6366
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6367
 
6368
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6369
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6370
 
6371
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6372
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6373
      with either " or ' characters.
6374
 
6375
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6376
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6377
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6378
 
6379
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6380
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6381
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6382
 
6383
    * Jats wrapper
6384
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6385
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6386
      further commands.
6387
 
6388
Minor changes:
6389
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6390
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6391
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6392
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6393
 
6394
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6395
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6397
Major changes:
6398
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6399
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6400
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6401
 
6402
      These options operation affect all components within the
6403
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6404
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6405
 
6406
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6407
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6408
 
6409
Minor changes:
6410
 
6411
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6412
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6413
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6414
Major changes:
6415
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6416
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6417
 
6418
Minor changes:
6419
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6420
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6421
 
6422
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6423
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6424
 
6425
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6426
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6427
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6428
Major changes:
6429
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6430
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6431
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6432
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6433
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6434
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6435
      installed.
6436
 
6437
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6438
      libraries that depend on each other.
6439
 
6440
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6441
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6442
 
6443
Minor changes:
6444
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6445
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6446
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6447
 
6448
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6449
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6450
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6451
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6452
 
6453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6454
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6455
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6456
Major changes:
6457
 
6458
Minor changes:
6459
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6460
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6461
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6462
      file.
6463
 
6464
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6465
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6466
 
6467
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6468
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6469
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6470
 
6471
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6472
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6473
 
6474
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6475
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6476
 
6477
    * WinCE toolsets
6478
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6479
      compiler specific libraries.
6480
 
6481
    * SOLARIS toolset
6482
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6483
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6484
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6485
 
6486
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6487
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6488
      cleaned up.
6489
 
6490
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6491
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6492
 
6493
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6494
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6495
      with either " or ' characters.
6496
 
6497
 
6498
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6499
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6500
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6501
Major changes:
6502
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6503
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6504
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6505
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6506
 
6507
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6508
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6509
 
6510
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6511
      user.
6512
 
6513
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6514
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6515
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6516
 
6517
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6518
      for the   -Gf option.
6519
 
6520
Minor changes:
6521
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6522
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6523
 
6524
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6525
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6526
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6527
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6528
 
6529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6530
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6531
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6532
Major changes:
6533
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6534
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6535
 
6536
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6537
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6538
      data addresses for the board.
6539
 
6540
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6541
 
6542
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6543
 
6544
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6545
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6546
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6547
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6548
         PackageFile
6549
 
6550
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6551
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6552
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6553
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6554
 
6555
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6556
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6557
      to be installed and packaged.
6558
 
6559
Minor changes:
6560
 
6561
    * cache_dpkg utility
6562
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6563
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6564
 
6565
    * label utility
6566
      New option -auto to create and label
6567
 
6568
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6569
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6570
 
6571
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6572
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6573
      directory. ie:
6574
 
6575
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6576
 
6577
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6578
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6579
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6580
 
6581
 
6582
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6583
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6584
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6585
Major changes:
6586
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6587
 
6588
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6589
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6590
 
6591
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6592
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6593
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6594
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6595
 
6596
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6597
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6598
      compilation.
6599
 
6600
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6601
 
6602
Minor changes:
6603
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6604
      one is being produced.
6605
 
6606
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6607
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6608
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6609
 
6610
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6611
 
6612
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6613
 
6614
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6615
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6616
 
6617
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6618
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6619
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6620
Major changes:
6621
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6622
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6623
 
6624
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6625
 
6626
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6627
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6628
      same directory
6629
 
6630
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6631
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6632
      documenattion.
6633
 
6634
Minor changes:
6635
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6636
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6637
 
6638
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6639
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6640
 
6641
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6642
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6643
 
6644
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6645
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6646
 
6647
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6648
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6649
      be exempt from this test.
6650
 
6651
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6652
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6653
 
6654
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6655
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6656
 
6657
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6658
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6659
      does.
6660
 
6661
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6662
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6663
 
6664
 
6665
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6666
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6667
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6668
Major changes:
6669
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6670
 
6671
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6672
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6673
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6674
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6675
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6676
 
6677
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6678
      operations.
6679
 
6680
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6681
 
6682
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6683
 
6684
Minor changes
6685
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6686
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6687
 
6688
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6689
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6690
      directory is not added to the library path.
6691
 
6692
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6693
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6694
 
6695
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6696
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6697
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6698
 
6699
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6700
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6701
      specific flags.
6702
 
6703
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6704
 
6705
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6706
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6707
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6708
 
6709
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6710
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6711
      JATS.
6712
 
6713
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6714
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6715
 
6716
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6717
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6718
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6719
 
6720
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6721
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6722
 
6723
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6724
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6725
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6726
 
6727
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6728
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6729
 
6730
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6731
 
6732
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6733
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6734
 
6735
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6736
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6737
      objects.
6738
 
6739
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6740
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6741
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6742
      build defendants.
