4003 dpurdie 167
Version:  3.2.2000.cr                               Released: 27-Aug-13

169
Major changes:
170
 
171
Minor changes:
172
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
173
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
174
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
175
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
176
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
177
 
178
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
179
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.
180

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3987 dpurdie 182
Version:  3.2.1000.cr                               Released: 16-Aug-2013
183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
184
Major changes:
185
 
186
Minor changes:
187
    * Utility: update_release
188
      Added options:
189
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
190
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
191
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
192
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
193
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
194
      Report filter elements that are not used.
195
 
196
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
197
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
198
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
199
 
200
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
201
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
202
 
203
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3967 dpurdie 204
Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
206
Major changes:
207
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
208
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
209
      intended to build deployed software.
210
 
211
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
212
      the DEVLINUX alias.
213
 
214
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
215
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
216
 
217
Minor changes:
218
    * Jats wrapper script
219
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
220
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
221
      Subversion instance of the command.
222
 
223
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
224
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
225
 
226
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
227
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
228
 
229
    * Utility: jats upddep
230
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
231
      file under windows.
232
 
233
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
234
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
235
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
236
 
237
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
238
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
239
 
240
    * GCC Toolchain
241
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.
242

245
------------------------------------------------------------------------
246
Major changes:
247
    * Jira Issue: JATS-274: Long view name causes legacy package to
248
                            fail to daemon build
249
      Create shorter viewnames when extracting Subversion workspace
250

------------------------------------------------------------------------
257
Major changes:
258
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
259
      Support for Intellect PAX.
260
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
261
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
262
 
263
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
264
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.
265
 
266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3559 dpurdie 267
Version:  3.1.7000.cr                               Released: 03-May-13

      Uses an MSP430G2553 processor, a member of the Texas Instruments MSP430
272
      family
3559 dpurdie 273
 
274
Minor changes:
275
    * Utility: jats sandbox
276
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
277
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
278
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
279
      line.
280
 
281
    * Jats Configuration
282
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
283
 
284
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
285
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
286
      and Linux.
287
 
288
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
289
      correctly rippled.
290
 
291

3347 dpurdie 292
Version:  3.1.6000.cr                               Released: 05-Apr-13
293
------------------------------------------------------------------------
294
Major changes:
295
 
296
Minor changes:
297
    * Jats Core
298
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
299
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
300
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
301
 
302
    * Utility: svnsave_build
303
      Used only by the build daemons.
304
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
305
 
306
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
307
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
308
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
309
 
310
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3045 dpurdie 311
Version:  3.1.5000.cr                               Released: 13-Feb-13 
312
------------------------------------------------------------------------
313
Major changes:
314
 
315
Minor changes:
316
    * svnrelease utility
317
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
318
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
319
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
320
 
321
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
322
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
323
      the named tag.
324
 
325
    * svnrelease utility
326
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
327
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.
328

338
        covered by the makefile.
339
 
340
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
341
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
342
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
343
 
344
    * ALL Toolsets
345
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
346
 
347
    * Utility vcsdiff
348
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
349
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
350
      the default use of BeyondCompare.
351

367
      showing the user what to do.
368
 
369
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
370
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
371
      we have build support for this target.
372
 
373
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
374
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
375
 
376
Internal:
377
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
378
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.

Version:  3.1.1000.cr                               Released: 14-Nov-12
393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
394
Major changes:
395
 
396
Minor changes:
397
    * Makefile generation
398
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
399
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
400
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
401
      of warnings.
402
 
403
    * Makefile Generation
404
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
405
 
406
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
407
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
413
Major changes:
414
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
415
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
416
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
417
      these operations with a dedicated program.
418
 
419
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
420
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
421
      windows path scheme.
422
 
423
Minor changes:
424
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
425
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
426
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
427
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
428
 
429
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
430
        jats make clobber
431
      This operates as before.
432
 
433
    * Utility: escrow
434
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
435
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
436
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
437
 
438
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
439
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
440
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
441
 
442
    * Utility: svn : url
443
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
444
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
445
 
446
    * Utility: svn : import
447
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
448
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
449
 
450
    * Subversion Support
451
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
452
      showing the user what to do.
453
 
454
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
455
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
456
      repositories.
457

------------------------------------------------------------------------
461
 
462
Minor changes:
463
    * Jats build
464
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
465
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
466
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
467
 
468
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 469
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 470
 
471
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages

481
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
482
                 Can also display available branches.
483
 
2054 dpurdie 484
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
490
 
491
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
492
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
493
      Modified two options:
494
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
495
                        The named branch must not exist
496
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
497
                        The named branch must exist
498
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

532
 
533
Major changes:
534
    * Jats Version Number
535
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

549
Major changes:
550
    * Subversion support
551
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
552
      SubVersion. Changes include:
553
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
554
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
555
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
556
 
557
Minor changes:
558
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
559
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
560
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
561
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.

563
 
564
    * Utility: svnsave_build
565
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.

569
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
570

575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
576
Major changes:
577
    * Subversion Repository location
578
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
579
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
580
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
581
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
582
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
583
 
584
Minor changes:
585
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
586
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
587
 
588
    * Utility: svnrelease
589
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
590
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
591
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
592
 
593
    * Utility: svnsave_build
594
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
595
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
596
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
597
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
598
 
599
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
600
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
601
 
602

      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
604
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
605
 
606
      Subcommand: populate
607
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
608
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
609
      sandbox.
610
 
611
    * Subversion Support
612
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
613
      repository is not supported.
614
 
615
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
616
      a progress indication.
617
 
618
    * Jats Online Documentation
619
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
620
      online documentation.
621
 
622
    * Generated makefiles
623
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

700
Major changes:
701
 
702
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
703
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
704
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
705
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
706
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
707
 
708
    * C# Toolchain
709
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

719
 
720
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
721
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
722
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
723
 
724
    * Utility ccrelease
725
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
726
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
727
 
728
    * Utility: svn
729
      Improved package import processing.
730
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

758
Major changes:
759
 
760
Minor changes:
761
    * Command: jats clobber
762
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
763
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
764
 
765
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
766
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
767
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
768
 
769
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
770
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
771
 
377 dpurdie 772
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
773
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
774
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 775
 
776
    * jats svnlabel
777
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
778
 
779
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
780
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
781
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
782
 
783
    * Built Daemon support
784
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
785
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
786

        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
795
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
796
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
797
        as the main binary.
798
 
799
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
800
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
801
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
802
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
803
      both worlds.

937
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
938
 
939
    * jats build -noforce
940
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
941
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
942
      be forced.
943
 
944
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
945
 
946
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
947
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
948
 
949
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
950
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
951
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
952
 
953
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
954
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
955
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
956
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
957
 
958
    * Utility: svnrelease

      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
960
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
961
 
962
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
963
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.

966
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
967
      installed and can be used.

969
    * Toolset: CSharp
970
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
971
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
972
      character.
973
 
974
    * Toolset: SunWorks
975
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
976
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
977
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
978
      masking an error.
979
 
980
    * Toolset: Delphi7
981
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
982
      enhancement.

989
        - Return correct path to package
990
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
991
 
992
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
993
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
994
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
995
 
996
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
997
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
998
      packages.

1000
    * make command: show
1001
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1002
      'jats make show' command.
1003
 
1004
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1005
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1006
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1007
 
1008
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1009
      executed on Unix machines.

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

    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
1245
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
1246
      processing into jats.pl
1247
 
1248
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
1249
      a ClearCase site.

      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
1352
      resulting in multiple builds.
1353
 
1354
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
1355
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
1356
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
1357
 
1358
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
1359
 
1360
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
1361
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
1362
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

1368
 
1369
Minor changes:
1370
    * Jats label command
1371
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1372
      Not recommended for general use.
1373
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1374
      directories within the current view.
1375
 
1376
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1377
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1378
      elsewhere.
1379
 
1380
    * Jats save_build
1381
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1382
      the determination of a branch.
1383
 
1384
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1385
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1386
 
1387
    * Jats build
1388
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1389
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1390
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1391
 
1392
    * Borland6 toolset
1393
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1394
      to match the documented install location of:
1395
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1396
 
1397
    * Jats build
1398
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1399
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1400
      This is a very quick operation.
1401
 
1402
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1403
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1404
 
1405
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1406
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1407
      files are only recreated if need be.
1408
 
1409
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1410
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1411
      make the package.
1412
 
1413
    * Jats sandbox
1414
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1415
 
1416
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1417
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1418
 
1419
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1420
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1421
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1422
      is performed.
1423
 
1424
Internal:
1425
    * build.pl

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1462
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1463
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1464
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1465
 
1466
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1467
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1468
 
1469
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1470
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1471
      platform builds.
1472
 
1473
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1474
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1475
      directory tree.
1476
 
1477

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1491
Major changes:
1492
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1493
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1494
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1495
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1496
 
1497
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1498
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1499
 
1500
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1501
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1502
 
1503
      Examples:
1504
            jats upddep -show
1505
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1506
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1507
 
1508
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1509
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1510
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1511
 
1512
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1513
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1514
 
1515
Minor changes:
1516
 
1517
Internal changes:
1518
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

1523
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1524
Major changes:
1525
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1526
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1527
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1528
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1529
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1530
      stream.
1531
 
1532
      Example:
1533
 
1534
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1535
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1536
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1537
                     );
1538
Minor changes:
1539
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1540
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1541
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1542
      directive.
1543
 
1544
    * GCC Toolkit
1545
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1546
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1547
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1548
      the point of termination.
1549
 
1550
    * Jats save_build utility
1551
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1552
      under windows.
1553
 
1554
    * Jats sandbox
1555
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1556
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1557
      in different sandboxes.
1558
 
1559
    * Jats release
1560
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1561

      directory.
1572
 
1573
    * jats label utility
1574
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1575
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1576
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1577
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1578

317 dpurdie 1590
        noExceptions            - Disable
1591
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.

      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1598
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1599
      machine type.

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1603
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1604
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1605
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1606
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1607
      project files.
1608
 
1609
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1610
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1611
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1612
 
1613
Minor changes:
1614
    * Added more internal documentation
1615
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1616
 
1617
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1618
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1619
 
1620
    * Jats save_build utility
1621
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1622
      under windows.
1623
 
1624
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1625
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1626
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1627
      libraries.
1628
 
1629
    * Solaris builds
1630
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1631
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1632
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1633
      of the build failure.
1634
 
1635
 
1636
Internal changes:
1637
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1638
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1639
 
1640
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1641
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
1645
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1646
Major changes:
1647
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1648
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1649
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1650
      existing 32-bit builds.
1651
 
1652
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1653
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1654
 
1655
Minor changes:
1656
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1657
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1658
 
1659
    * Package searching
1660
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1661
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1662
 
1663
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1664
 
1665
    * jats help
1666
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1667
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1668
 
1669
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1670
      with one of:
1671
        jats -h
1672
        jats help jats
1673
 
1674
Internal:
1675
    * cmdfile utility
1676
      Added macros:
1677
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1678
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1679
 
1680
      Corrected
1681
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1682
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1683
 
1684
      Extended
1685
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1686
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1687
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1688
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1693
Major changes:
1694
 
1695
Minor changes:
1696
 
1697
Internal changes
1698
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1699
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1700
      Useful side effects include:
1701
 
1702
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1703
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1704
 
1705
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1706
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1707
 
1708
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1709
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1710
        BuildPkgArchive
1711
 
313 dpurdie 1712
    * Perl Modules
1713
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1714
      release. This will:
1715
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1716
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1717
          reported by ERG.
1718
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1723
Major changes:
1724
 
1725
Minor changes:
1726
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1727
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1728
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1729
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1730
 
1731
    * Jats label utility
1732
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1733
 
1734
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1735
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1736
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1737
 
1738
    * Jats core
1739
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1740
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1741
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 1749
    * CSHARP toolset
1750
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1751
      This is now fixed.
1752
 
309 dpurdie 1753
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1754
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1755
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1756
 
1757
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1758
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
1759

1765
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1766
    * Generating makefiles
1767
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1768
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1769
      an error.
1770
 
1771
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1772
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1773
 
1774
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1775
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1781
Major changes:
1782
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1783
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1784
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1785
 
1786
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1787
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1788
 
1789
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1790
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1791
      Support includes
1792
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1793
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1794
 
1795
Minor changes:
1796
    * Build file processing
1797
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1798
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1799
 
1800
    * MOS builds
1801
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1802
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1803
 
1804
    * MOS builds
1805
      New 'known' product: PICP
1806
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1807
 
1808
    * GenerateFiles directive
1809
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1810
        under windows.
1811
 
1812
        .
1813
 
1814
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1815
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1816
 
1817
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1818
      to the output stream.
1819
 
1820
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1821
 
1822
    * Windows Shell
1823
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1824
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1825
 
1826
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1827
 
1828
    * H8S toolset
1829
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1830
 
1831
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1832
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1833
 
1834
Internal changes
1835
    * WinCe builds
1836
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1837
      content of the file.
1838
 
1839
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1840
 
1841
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1842
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1854
Major changes:
1855
 
1856
Minor changes:
1857
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1858
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1859
      Changes are transparent to users.
1860
 
1861
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1862
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1863
      this occurs.
1864
 
1865
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1866
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1867
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1868
      automated build framework.
1869
 
1870
    * jats sandbox command
1871
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1872
      'create' command.
1873
 
1874
    * jats command aliases. Added
1875
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1876
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1881
Major changes:
1882
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1883
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1884
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1885
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1886
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1887
      will work as expected
1888
 
1889
Minor changes:
1890
    * VS2008 Toolset
1891
      Picking up incorrect config details
1892
      May result in a warning message.
1893
 
1894
    * gen_cots utility
1895
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1896
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1897
 
1898
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1899
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

1947
Major changes:
1948
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1949
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1950
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1951
 
1952
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1953
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1954
 
1955
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1956
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1957
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1958
           names cannot be changed.
1959
 
1960
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1961
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1962
 
1963
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1964
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1965
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1966
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1967
 
1968
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1969
      file.
1970
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1971
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1972
      MyPackage.dpk.
1973
 
1974
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1975
      file.
1976
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1977
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1978
      MyDll.dpr.
1979
 
1980
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1981
      file.
1982
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1983
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1984
      MyProg.dpr.
1985
 
1986
Minor changes:
1987
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1988
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1989
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1990
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1991
 
1992
    * BuildVersion directive
1993
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1994
      in a Delphi Unit.
1995
 
1996
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1997
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1998
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1999
      'know' the location of the files.
2000
 
2001
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2002
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2003
 
2004
Internal Changes:
2005
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2006
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2007
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2008
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2009
 
2010
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2011
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2012
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017
Major changes:
2018
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds

2074
      used in the build.
2075
 
2076
    * Escrow command
2077
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2078
 
2079
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2080
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2081
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2082
 
2083
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2084
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2089
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2090
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2091
 
279 dpurdie 2092
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2093
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2094
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2095
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2096
 
2097
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2098
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2099
 
2100
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2101
 
2102
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2103
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2104
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2105
 
2106
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2107
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2108
        processed.
2109
 
2110
      Removed the '-delete' option
2111
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2112
 
277 dpurdie 2113
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2114
    * Sandbox command
2115
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2116
 
2117
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2118
      target from consideration in the build set.
2119
 
2120
    * MCR Toolset
2121
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2122
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2123
 
2124
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2125
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2126
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2127
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2128
 
2129
    * Jats run_test command
2130
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2131
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2132
 
2133
    * descpkg file
2134
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2135
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2136
 
2137
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2138
     Now contains build trace information
2139
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2140
 
2141
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2142
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2143
     it contains 'jar' files.
2144
 
2145
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2146
 
2147
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2148
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2149
 
2150
   * BuildVersion directive
2151
     Form:
2152
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2153
     now works as expected.
2154
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2155
 
2156
Internal Changes:
2157
 
2158
    * Error reporting mechanism
2159
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2160
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2161
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

2173
    then starts.
2174
 
2175
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2176
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2177
 
2178
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2179
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2180
    non-platform option.
2181
 
279 dpurdie 2182
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
2321
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2322
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
2323
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
2337
 
2338
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
2339
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
2340
 
2341
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
2342

        define_source_file              (Default)
2345
 
2346
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2347
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2348
 
2349
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
2350
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
2351
      compatibility.
2352
 
2353

2357
            --InstallProg=list
2358
 
2359
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
2360
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
2361
      GenerateCab.
2362
 
2363
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags
2364
      Now supports the --Debug and --Prod options like the other AddFlags
2365
      directives.

2515
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2516
      Previously was being done at two places
2517
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2518
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but

      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2581
 
2582
Minor changes:
2583
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2584
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

2599
         Support extends to allow:
2600
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2601
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2602
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2603
 
2604
        VS2005
2605
         Support extends to allow:
2606
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2607
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2608
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2609
 
2610
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2611
      through a version selector:
2612
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2613
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2614
 
2615
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2616
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2617
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2618
 
2619
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2620
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2621
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2622
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2623
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2624
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2625
          under VS2005.
2626
 
2627
Minor changes:
2628
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
2633
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2634
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2635
 
2636
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2637
 
2638
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2639
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2640
 
2641
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2642
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2643
      a minimal value of perl.
2644
 
2645
      Removed excessive require statements.
2646

        1) Windows
2651
        2) Linux
2652
 
2653
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2654
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2655
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2656
      machines.
2657
 
2658
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2659

2663
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2664
 
2665
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2666
      wrapper scripts.
2667
 
2668
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2669
      Correct problem with location of build files.

  * Mug File Generation
2756
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2757
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2758
 
2759
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2760
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2761
    required.
2762
 
2763
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2764
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2765
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2766
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2767
    the files in order to use them.
2768
 
2769
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2770
    locate the file.
2771
 
2772
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2773
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2774
 
2775
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2776
        * CSharp
2777
        * Properties
2778
        * WinRC
2779
 
2780
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2781
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2782
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2783
    Value is correctly assigned.
2784

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
2787
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2788
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2789
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2790
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2791
 
2792
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2793
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2794
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2795
 
2796
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2797
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2798
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2799
 
2800
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2801
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2802
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2803
 
2804
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2805
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2806
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2807
    correct.
2808
 
2809
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2810
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2811
 
2812
Minor changes:
2813
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2814
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2815
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2816
 
2817
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2818
    This will simplify new user setup.
2819
 
2820
  * All Unix Toolsets
2821
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2822
    on unix systems
2823
 
2824
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2825
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2826
    on some Solaris Machines.
2827
 
2828
  * JATS -version=<version>
2829
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2830
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2831
 
2832
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Major changes:
243 dpurdie 2836
    * New platform: WCEPSION_500_emu [DEVI-047234]
245 dpurdie 2837
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 2838
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
2839
 
2840
Minor changes:
2841
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
2842
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
2843
 
2844
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
2845
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets
2846
 
2847
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
2848
      Does not work with LMOS
2849
 
2850
    * Readme.txt file
2851
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
2852
 
2853
    * Misc Cleanup
2854
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats
2855
      Move PostInstall script into the BUILD directory.

  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
2862
    Force compiler option -nOj
2863
    The default compiler option (-Oj) has been seen to cause problems with some
2864
    code. Problem reported/analysed by rparker and thunter.
237 dpurdie 2865
 
241 dpurdie 2866
  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)

237 dpurdie 2870
Minor changes:
241 dpurdie 2871
  * JATS makefiles
2872
    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
2873
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
2874
 
2875
  * JATS builds
2876
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
2877
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
2878
    mode.
2879
 
2880
  * JATS makefiles
2881
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2882
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2883
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2884
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2885
                            SetList directive.
2886
 
2887

        --PackageToolProd=xxx
2894
        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
2895
 
2896
  * JATS buildfile processing
2897
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
2898
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
2899
    of JATS.
2900
 
2901
  * JATS save_build utility
2902
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
2903
    which may be reserved.
2904
 
2905
  * JATS gen_cots utility
2906
    Correctly labels directories up to the VOB root.
2907
    Displays the correct 'Source Path' in the Release Manager Information.
2908
    Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only
2909
 
2910
  * JATS sandbox (experimental)
2911
    Ensure the AutoBuildTool does not use any sandbox
2912
 
2913

2918
    such that the direction cannot use a a relative path.
2919
 
2920
    * Escrow tool
2921
      Creates a simple HTML file that details all the packages with a short
2922
      description.

Minor changes:
239 dpurdie 2930
    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
2931
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
2932
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
2933
 
2934
    * MOS Toolset
2935
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
2936
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
2937
 
2938
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
2939
      can have production (PIC) components.
2940
 
2941
    * Utility command: jats abt
2942
      Parse and use -buildfile=xxx option
2943
 
2944

      The extractfiles option will now duplicate empty directories
2946
 
2947
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
2948
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
2949
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
2950
      Previously only worked on Windows
2951

      Corrected problem when command line quoted arguments with a space are
241 dpurdie 2963
      passed in. ie: -xxx="aaa bbb ccc"
237 dpurdie 2964
 
2965

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2974
Major changes:
235 dpurdie 2975
    * New Toolset: BORLAND
2976
      The toolset uses the Borland C++ Builder 6 to build Borland Project
2977
      files via the MakeProject directive.
231 dpurdie 2978
 
235 dpurdie 2979
      In this release there is no support for native compilation and linking.
2980
 
2981

2982
 
231 dpurdie 2983
Minor changes:
235 dpurdie 2984
    * Extract/Release utility.
2985
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
2986
      that can handle spaces
2987
 
2988
    * MOS Compiler
2989
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2990
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
2991
 
2992
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2993
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
2994
      descpkg files to be copied.
2995
 
2996
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
2997
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
2998
 
2999
    * JATS ANT command
3000
      Better selection of the ant build file
3001
 
3002
    * Build directive: BuildVersion
3003
      Extended the WinRc version file to allow the name of an icon to be
3004
      embedded in the .RC file.

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 3012
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
3013
 
3014
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
3015
      <project> field.
3016
 
3017
    * CCdiff utility
3018
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
3019
 
3020
    * Escrow utility
3021
      Quote 'path' in the generated extraction commands
3022
      Allow escrow to be based on a single Release Manager package

Major changes:
3030
 
3031
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3032
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3033
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3034
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3035
 
3036
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3037
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3038
 
3039
    * Jats wrapper
3040
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3041
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3042

Version: 2.72.00000.cr                                Released: 11-Jan-08
3045
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3046
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3047
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3048
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3049
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3050
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3051
 
3052
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3053
 
3054
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3055
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3056
 
3057
    * Running Jats
3058
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3059
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3060
      This may affect some windows developers.
3061
 
3062
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3063
      Future versions will generate an error.
3064
 
3065
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3066
 
3067
Minor changes:
3068
    * Perl Version Check
3069
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3070
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3071
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3072
 
3073
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3074
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3075
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3076
      build.
3077
 
3078
    * Jats Internals
3079
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3080
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3081
 
3082
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3083
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3084
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3085
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3086
      process.
3087
 
3088
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3089
      Only works under Windows.
3090
 
3091
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3092
 
3093
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3094
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3095
 
3096
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3097
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3098
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3099
 
3100
    * Jats eprog
3101
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3102
      directory.
3103
 
3104
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3105
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3106
      build metrics.
3107
 
3108

3110
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3111
Major changes:
3112
 
3113
Minor changes:
3114
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3115
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3116
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3117
      automated build system. New options are:
3118
        -pname=Package_Name
3119
        -pversion=Package_Version
3120
 
3121
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3122
      transferring the package. New options are:
3123
        -test
3124
 
3125
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3126
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3127
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3128
 
3129
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3130
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3131
 
3132
    * Solaris Toolset
3133
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3134
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3135
      programs are still supported.
3136

3138
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
3139
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3140
Major changes:
3141
 
3142
Minor changes:
3143
    * WINCE toolsets
3144
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3145
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3146
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3147
      when header files cannot be found.
3148
 
3149
    * GenerateFiles directive
3150
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3151
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3152
      that are difficult to solve.
3153
 
3154
    * MakePerlModule directive
3155
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3156
      to the the module builder.
3157
 
3158
    * Jats Tool: label
3159
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3160
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3161
      -dirs=xxx options.
3162
 
3163
    * Jats Tool: release
3164
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3165
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3166
 
3167
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3168
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3169
 
3170
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3171
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3172
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3173
 
3174
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

3250
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3251
 
3252
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3253
      inconsistent packages.
3254
 
3255
    * jats make help
3256
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3257
      available within the current build.
3258
 
3259
    * jats makefiles
3260
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3261
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3262
 
3263
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3264
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3265
 
3266
    * gcc toolset
3267
      SharedLibries.
3268
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3269
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3270
 
3271
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3272
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3273
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3274
 
3275
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3276
        New options:
3277
            --MultiScan
3278
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3279
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3280
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

3286
Major changes:
3287
 
3288
Minor changes:
3289
    PackageLib directive
3290
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3291
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3292
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3293
 
3294
    MakefileGenerate directive
3295
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3296
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3297
 
3298
    Multiple Parent detection
3299
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3300
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3301
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3302
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3303
 
3304
    Solaris Toolset
3305
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3306
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3307
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3308
    link.
3309
 
3310
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3311
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3312
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3313
 
3314
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3315
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3316
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3317
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3322
Major changes:
3323
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3324
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3325
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3326
 
3327
    Summary of changes:
3328
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3329
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3330
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3331
          flexibility.
3332
 
3333
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3334
 
3335
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3336
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3337
          interface directory and associated build information.
3338
 
3339
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3340
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3341
          than one second.
3342
 
3343
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3344
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3345
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3346
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3347
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3348
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3349
 
3350
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3351
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3352
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3353
 
3354
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3355
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3356
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3357
          building them.
3358
 
3359
        - Detection of build file changes
3360
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3361
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3362
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3363
 
3364
        - Quieter make output
3365
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3366
 
3367
 
3368
Minor changes:
3369
    MakeAnt Directive
3370
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3371
 
3372
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3373
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3374
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3375
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3376
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3377
 
3378
    CSHARP toolset
3379
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3388
    are generated.
3389
 
3390
    MakeAnt
3391
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3392
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3393
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3394
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3395

    New option: --PackageBase
3408
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3409
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3410
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3411
 
3412
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3413
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3414
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3415
        package image being created.

3435
 
3436
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3437
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3438
 
3439
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3440
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3441
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3442
 
3443
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3444
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3475
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3476
 
3477
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3478
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3479
      last.
3480
 
3481
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3482
 
3483
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3484
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3485
 
3486
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3487
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3488
 
3489
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3490
 
3491
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3492
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3493
 
3494
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3495
 
3496
 
3497
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3498

      dependent packages.
3512
 
3513

3522
Major changes:
3523
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3524
 
3525
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3526
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3527
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3528
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3529
      path.
3530
 
3531
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3532
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3533
      reproducible.
3534
 
3535
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3536
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3537
 
3538
      There are several aspects to the change
3539
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3540
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3541
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3542
 
3543
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3544
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3545
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3546
          controlled separately.
3547
 
3548
Minor changes:
3549
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3550
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3551
        Remove duplicates
3552
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3553

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3556
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3557
Major changes:
3558
 
3559
Minor changes:
3560
    * Makefile sanity test
3561
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3562
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3563
 
3564
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3565
      x86 machine.
3566
 
3567
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3568
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3569
 
3570
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3571
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3573
Major changes:
3574
    * RunTest directive
3575
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3576
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3577
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3578
 
3579
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3580
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3581
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3582
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3583
 
3584
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3585
        builder within the current toolset.
3586
 
3587
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3588
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3589
 
3590
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3591
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3592
      containing the RunTest directive.
3593
 
3594
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3595
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3596
 
3597
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3598
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3599
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3600
 
3601
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3602
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3603
                            P or D suffix.
3604
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3605
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3606
 
3607
Minor changes:
3608
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3609
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3610
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3611
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3612
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3613
 
3614
    * Save Build Utility
3615
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3616
      used in a ripple build.
3617
 
3618
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3619
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3620
 
3621
    * Release Utility
3622
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3623
      when an error is encountered.
3624
 
3625
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3626
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3627
 
3628
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3629
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3630
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3631
 
3632
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3633
      before the makefiles are created.
3634
 
3635
    * TestProg directive
3636
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3637
 
3638
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3639
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3640

Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
3643
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3644
Major changes:
3645
    * New build target
3646
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3647
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3648
 
3649
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3650
            DEVLINUX
3651
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3652
 
3653
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3654
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3655
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3656
 
3657
Minor changes:
3658
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3659
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3660
 
3661
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3662
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3663
 
3664
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3665
      and .cs files.
3666
 
3667
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3668
      thing.
3669
 
3670
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3671
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3672
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3673
      were it places temp files.
3674
 
3675
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3676
      interaction with other builds.
3677
 
3678
    * Release utility command
3679
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3680
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3681
      component in the clearcase tag name.

3687
  * Support for building CSHARP code
3688
    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
3689
 
3690
    Supports the handling of .resx files
3691
 
3692
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
3693
    libraries
3694
 
3695
Minor changes:
3696
  * Unit Tests
3697
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3698
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3699
 
3700
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3701
    as a Script.

  * WINCE Support
3733
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3734
 
3735
  * Removed the following targets
3736
        TP5600
3737
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3738
        TP5600_EMU
3739
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3740
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3741
 
3742
  * Deployment
3743
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3744
 
3745
  * build.pl
3746
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3747
 
3748
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3749
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3750
 
3751
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3752
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3753
    build.
3754
 
3755
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3756
 
3757
  * Tool: escrow
3758
     New features
3759
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3760
     are not in the SBOM.
3761
 
3762
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3763

3768
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3770
Major changes:
3771
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3772
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3773
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3774
 
3775
  * GenerateFiles
3776
    Added the options:
3777
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3778
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3779
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3780
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3781
 
3782
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3783
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3784
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3785
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3786
                                  required.
3787
 
3788
 
3789
Minor changes:
3790
  * GenerateFile directive
3791
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3792
 
3793
  * GCC Toolset
3794
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3795
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3796
    be rebuilt.
3797
 
3798
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3799
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3800
 
3801
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3802
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3803
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3804
Major changes:
3805
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3806
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3807
    environment variables.
3808
 
3809
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3810
            moved.
3811
 
3812
    This will affect users that:
3813
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3814
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3815
 
3816
        2) Use the ABT system
3817
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3818
           the required configuration
3819
 
3820
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3821
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3822
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3823
    Windows
3824
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3825
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3826
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3827
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3828
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3829
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3830
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3831
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3832
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3833
 
3834
 
3835
  * New build platforms
3836
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3837
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3838
 
3839
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3840
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3841
 
3842
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3843
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3844
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3845
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3846
 
3847
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3848
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3849
    release.
3850
 
3851
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3852
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3853
 
3854
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3855
    need to be converted.
3856
 
3857
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3858
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3859
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3860
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3861
    used for different targets platforms.
3862
 
3863
  * Sandbox support
3864
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3865
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3866
 
3867
    New command: jats sandbox ...

3874
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3875
Major changes:
3876
  * MakeAnt directive
3877
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3878
 
3879
    New options
3880
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3881
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3882
 
3883
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3884
    run_unit_tests phase.
3885
 
3886
  * Sandbox support
3887
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3888
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3889
 
3890
Minor changes:
3891
  * jats build
3892
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3893
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3894
 
3895
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3896
 
3897
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3898
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3899
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3900
 
3901
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3902
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3903
 
3904
  * JATS.BAT
3905
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3906
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3907
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3908
 
3909
  * jats label
3910
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3911
 
3912
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3913
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07

        LMOS_TP5600
3918
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3919
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3920
 
3921
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3922
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3923
    describe the group of platforms.
3924
 
3925
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3926
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3927
    build these targets.
3928
 
3929
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3930
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3931
 
3932
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3933
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3934
 
3935
  * New build platform: WINCE
3936
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3937
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3938
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3939
 
3940
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3941
            WCEIT3000
3942
            WCEPA961
3943
            WCEPA962
3944
            WCEPCM7220
3945
            WCEPSION_420
3946
            WCEPSPC_arm
3947
            WCEPSPC_emu
3948
            WCEX86A420
3949
            WCEX86A500
3950
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
3951
 
3952
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3953
 
3954
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3955
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3956
    that contain packaging directives.
3957
 
3958
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3959
    very unusual configurations.
3960
 
3961
Minor changes:
3962
  * Directive: PackageFile
3963
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3964
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3965
    an '='.
3966
 
3967
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3968
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3969
 
3970
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3971
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3972
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3973
 
3974
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3975
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3976
 
3977
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3978
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3979
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3980
Major changes:
3981
 
3982
  * JATS release command
3983
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3984
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3985
 
3986
    Rules are:
3987
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3988
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3989
                            File will be placed on a branch
3990
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3991
                            New directory will branch
3992
 
3993
Minor changes:
3994
  * JATS release command
3995
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3996
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3997
 
3998
  * JATS label command
3999
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4000
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4001
 
4002
  * JATS make
4003
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4004
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4005
    was re-packaged.
4006
 
4007
  * JATS escrow
4008
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4009
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4010
 
4011
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4012
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4013
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4014
 
4015
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4016
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4017
    interface directory.
4018
 
4019
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4020
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4021
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4022
    directory as seen by the package.
4023
 
4024
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4025
 
4026
  * JAVA 6
4027
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4028
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4029
 
4030
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4031
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4032
 
4033
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4034
 
4035
  * Jats command: vars
4036
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4037
    These indicate potential problems.
4038
 
4039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4040
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4041
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4042
Major changes:
4043
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4044
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4045
    libarry is also created.
4046
 
4047
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4048
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4049
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4050
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4051
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4052
    information contained within the file.
4053
 
4054
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4055
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4056
 
4057
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4058
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4059
 
4060
  * Building Perl Modules
4061
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4062
    documentation on the build machine.
4063
 
4064
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4065
 
4066
Minor changes:
4067
  * jats create_dpkg
4068
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4069
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4070
 
4071
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4072
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4073
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4074
Major changes:
4075
  * JATS JAVA build target
4076
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4077
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4078
 
4079
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4080
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4081
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4082
    is then picked up as the default version.
4083
 
4084
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4085
    build.pl file.
4086
 
4087
Minor changes:
4088
  * jats release
4089
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4090
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4091
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4092
 
4093
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4094
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4095
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4096
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4097
    the name of the view.
4098
 
4099
  * GenerateFiles directive
4100
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4101
 
4102
  * MOS Toolset
4103
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4104
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4105
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4106
 
4107
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4108
 
4109
 
4110
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4111
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4112
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4113
Major changes:
4114
 
4115
Minor changes:
4116
  * JATS environment
4117
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4118
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4119
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4120
 
4121
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4122
 
4123
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4124
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4125
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4126
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4127
    to be packaged.
4128
 
4129
  * Generated makefiles
4130
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4131
 
4132
  * Generating MOS THX files
4133
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4134
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4135
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4136
 
4137
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4138
 
4139
  * JATS release
4140
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4141
 
4142
  * JATS extract
4143
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4144
 
4145
  * JATS Toolset
4146
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4147
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4148
 
4149
 
4150
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4151
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4152
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4153
Major changes:
4154
 
4155
Minor changes:
4156
  * jats label
4157
    Added a -vob=name option
4158
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4159
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4160
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4161
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4162
 
4163
    Added a -user=name option
4164
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4165
    label to the named user.
4166
 
4167
  * jats release
4168
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4169
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4170
 
4171
  * JATS build.pl
4172
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4173
    ie:
4174
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4175

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4178
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4179
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4180
Major changes:
4181
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4182
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4183
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4184
    the makefile internals. ie:
4185
        --Var(BuildName)
4186
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4187
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4188
 
4189
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4190
 
4191
  * GenerateFiles
4192
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4193
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4194
 
4195
  * BuildPlatforms
4196
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4197
 
4198
Minor changes:
4199
  * GCC Toolset
4200
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4201
 
4202
Internal changes:
4203
  * GenerateFiles
4204
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4205
 
4206
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4207
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4208
 
4209
 
4210
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4211
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4213
Major changes:
4214
  * Caching JATS
4215
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4216
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4217
 
4218
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4219
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4220
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4221
 
4222
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4223
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4224
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4225
 
4226
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4227
 
4228
Minor changes:
4229
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4230
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4231
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4232
 
4233
  * jats build
4234
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4235
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4236
    processed by the build.
4237
 
4238
  * jats build
4239
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4240
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4241
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4242
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4243
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4244
 
4245
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4246
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4247
    Path is not specified.
4248
 
4249
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4250
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4251
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4252
        --Dir=$Pinc
4253
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4254
 
4255
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4256
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4257
    Windows platform.
4258
 
4259
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4260
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4261
            by 'purecov.
4262
 
4263
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4264
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4265
 
4266
        - OPTIONS=purify
4267
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4268
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4269
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4270

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
4274
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4275
Major changes:
4276
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4277
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4278
    Example:
4279
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4280
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4281
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4282
 
4283
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4284
    been determined.
4285
 
4286
Minor changes:
4287
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4288
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4289
    located at build-time.
4290
 
4291
  * Unix based systems
4292
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4293
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4294
 
4295
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4296
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4297
    driver being built.
4298
 
4299

4305
 
4306
Minor changes:
4307
  * jats_rewrite tool
4308
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
4309
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
4310
 
4311
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
4312
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4313
 
4314
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4315
    dependancy information within a package.
4316
 
4317
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4318
    messages.
4319
 
4320
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4321
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
4322
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4323
Major changes:
4324
  * makefile.pl directives
4325
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
4326
 
4327
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4328
 
4329
    GenerateFiles.
4330
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4331
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4332
                      be run on every invocation.
4333
 
4334
 
4335
Minor changes:
4336
  * Added the jats version command
4337
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
4338
 
4339
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
4340
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4341
  There are two mechanism:
4342
 
4343
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4344
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4345
 
4346
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4347
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4348
 
4349
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4350
  default.
4351
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
4352
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
4353

4356
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4357
Major changes:
4358
  * SunWorks Toolset
4359
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4360
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4361
    It is based on machine type.
4362
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4363
 
4364
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4365
 
4366
Minor changes:
4367
  * Perl DBI interface
4368
    Removed the message showing database connection
4369
 
4370

4374
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
4375
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4376
Major changes:
4377
  * GCC Toolset
4378
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
4379
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
4380

    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4385
    TP5600_EMU
4386
 
4387
Minor changes:
4388

    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
4390
    field separator.
4391
 
4392
  * JATS eprog command
4393
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4394
 
4395
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4396
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4397
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4398
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4399
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4400
 
4401
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4402
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4403
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4404
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4405
 
4406
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4407
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
4408

4419
 
4420
 
4421
Minor changes:
4422
  * JATS wrapper script
4423
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4424
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4425
    to setup links to system programs.
4426

    Added CompileOptions
4448
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4449
        no_misalign         - Default
4450
 
4451
        multithread         - Default
4452
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
4453
 
4454
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4455
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
4456
 
4457
        prod_no_optimise
4458
        prod_no_debuginfo

        debug_debuginfo
4466
 
4467
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4468
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4469
    Theses are:
4470
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4471
        SOLARIS_AMD
4472
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4473
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4474
 
4475
Minor changes:
4476
  * AT3232 toolset
4477
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

4486
Major changes:
4487
 
4488
Minor changes:
4489
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4490
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4491
    messages
4492
 
4493
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4494
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4495
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4496
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4497
 
4498
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4499
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
4500
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4501
Major changes:
4502
 
4503
Minor changes:
4504
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4505
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4506
    library without creating the body of the library:
4507
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4508
 
4509
 
4510
  * MOS toolsets
4511
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4512
    library without creating the body of the library:
4513
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4514
 
4515
  * JATS BIN directories
4516
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4517
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4518
    using autoconf.
4519
 
4520
  * Generate directive
4521
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4522
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4523
 
4524
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4525
 
4526
 
4527
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4528
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4530
Major changes:
4531
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4532
    Initial release.
4533
 
4534
Minor changes:
4535
 
4536
 
4537
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4538
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4539
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4540
Major changes:
4541
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4542
    Initial release.
4543
 
4544
  * Packaging directives
4545
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4546
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4547
 
4548
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4549
        SOLARIS
4550
        WIN32
4551
 
4552
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4553
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4554
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4555
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4556
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4557
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4558
 
4559
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4560
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4561
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4562
 
4563
 
4564
Minor changes:
4565
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4566
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4567
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4568
 
4569
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4570
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4571
    location
4572
 
4573
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4574
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4575
 
4576
  * Utility genrc
4577
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4578
 
4579
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4580
    Added option: -new
4581
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4582
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4583
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4584
 
4585
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4586
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4587
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4588
 
4589
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4590
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4591
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4592
 
4593
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4594
   features - in a uniform manner.
4595
 
4596
 
4597
Internal Changes:
4598
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4599
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4600
 
4601
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4602
        1) Platform information available at build time
4603
        2) Dynamic platform names
4604
 
4605
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4606
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4607
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4608
 
4609
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4610
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4611
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4612
 
4613
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4614
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4615
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4616
    needed.
4617
 
4618
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4619
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4620
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4621
    files from all of these.
4622
 
4623
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4624
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4626
Major changes:
4627
 
4628
Minor changes:
4629
  * WinCE toolset
4630
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4631
 
4632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4633
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4635
Major changes:
4636
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4637
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4638
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4639
 
4640
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4641
 
4642
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4643
    the operations.
4644
 
4645
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4646
 
4647
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4648
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4649
 
4650
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4651
 
4652
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4653
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4654
 
4655
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4656
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4657
    Extended the built-in help
4658
    Added useful error messages
4659
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4660
 
4661
  * WinCE toolset
4662
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4663
 
4664
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4665
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4666
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4667
 
4668
Minor changes:
4669
  * JATS wrapper script
4670
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4671
    the command line.
4672
 
4673
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4674
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4675
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4676
 
4677
Internal Changes:
4678
  * Common Error Reporting
4679
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4680
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4681
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4682
    level.
4683
 
4684
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4685
    displayed.
4686
 
4687
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4688
 
4689
  * Added JatsSystem module
4690
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4691
------------------------------------------------------------------------

4695
 
4696
Minor changes:
4697
  * BR Compiler toolset
4698
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4699
    .def files to include other files.
4700
 
4701
  * IAR toolset
4702
    Added AT7272 support
4703
 
4704
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4705
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4706
 
4707
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4708

4711
 
4712
Minor changes:
4713
  * BR Compiler toolset
4714
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4715
    use.
4716
 
4717
 
4718
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4719
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4720
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4721
Major changes:
4722
 
4723
Minor changes:
4724
  * Mictotec toolset
4725
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4726
    builds.
4727
 
4728
  * JATS Core
4729
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4730
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4731
    behaviour.
4732
 
4733
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4734
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4736
Major changes:
4737
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4738
    Deployment package will be affected.
4739
 
4740
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4741
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4742
 
4743
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4744
 
4745
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4746
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4747
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4748
    packages.
4749
 
4750
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4751
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4752
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4753
 
4754
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4755
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4756
 
4757
Minor changes:
4758
  * SubDir directive
4759
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4760
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4761
 
4762
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4763
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4764
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4765
    of the file usage.
4766
 
4767
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4768
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4769
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4770
 
4771
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4772
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4773
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4774
 
4775
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4776
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4777
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4778
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4779
 
4780
 
4781
Internal Changes:
4782
  * Code refactor
4783
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4784
 
4785
  * Deployment utilities
4786
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4787
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4788
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4789
    the module can locate the file.
4790
 
4791
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4792
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4793
 
4794
  * JATS core
4795
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4796
 
4797
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4798
 
4799
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4800
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4801
    through the use of environment variables.
4802
 
4803
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4804
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4805
 
4806
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4807
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4808
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4809
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4810
 
4811
  * Make environment
4812
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4813
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4814
 
4815

4817
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4819
Major changes:
4820
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4821
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4822
 
4823
 
4824
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4825
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4826
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4827
 
4828
Not Released.
4829
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4830
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4831
 
4832
 
4833
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4834
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4836
Major changes:
4837
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4838
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4839
    radically replaced.
4840
 
4841
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4842
    Usage:
4843
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4844
 
4845
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4846
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4847
    this solution:
4848
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4849
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4850
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4851
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4852
 
4853
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4854
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4855
    order to work.
4856
 
4857
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4858
    reduced functionality.
4859
 
4860
 
4861
Minor changes:
4862
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4863
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4864
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4865
 
4866
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4867
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4868
    within the makefiles.
4869
        Options:
4870
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4871
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4872
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4873
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4874
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4875
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4876
        Useage:
4877
 
4878
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4879
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4880
 
4881
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4882
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4883
    is not in the current directory.
4884
 
4885
  * Jats Command: ant'
4886
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4887
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4888
 
4889
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4890
 
4891
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4892
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4893
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4894
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4895
 
4896
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4897
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4898
    Thus
4899
 
4900
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4901
 
4902
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4903
 
4904
 
4905
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4906
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4907
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4908
Major changes:
4909
 
4910
Minor changes:
4911
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4912
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4913
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4914
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4915
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4916
 
4917
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4918
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4919
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4920
 
4921
Internal changes:
4922
  * JATS toolsets
4923
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4924
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4925
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4926
 
4927
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4928
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4929
 
4930
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4931
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4933
Major changes:
4934
  * Jats command: etool
4935
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4936
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4937
 
4938
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4939
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4940
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4941
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4942
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4943
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4944
 
4945
Minor changes:
4946
 
4947
 
4948
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4949
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4951
Major changes:
4952
  * JATS environment variables
4953
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4954
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4955
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4956
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4957
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4958
 
4959
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4960
              Remote repository
4961
 
4962
    Added GBE_DPLY
4963
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4964
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4965
 
4966
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4967
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4968
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4969
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4970
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4971
 
4972
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4973
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4974
 
4975
 
4976
Minor changes:
4977
  * JATS utility: build
4978
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4979
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4980
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4981
 
4982
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4983
    Ensure label is not locked
4984
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4985
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4986
 
4987
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4988
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4989
    to a specific type of build.
4990
 
4991
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
4992
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
4993
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
4994
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
4995
 
4996
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
4997
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
4998
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
4999
 
5000
  * JATS utility: release
5001
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5002
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5003
 
5004
  * JATS utility: label
5005
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5006
    when it is being created.
5007
 
5008
Internal Changes
5009
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5010
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5011
 
5012
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5013
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5014
 
5015
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5016
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5017
    different results.
5018
 
5019
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5020
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5021
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5022
 
5023
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5024
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5025
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5026
Major changes:
5027
 
5028
  * MCR toolset
5029
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5030
 
5031
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5032
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5033
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5034
Major changes:
5035
  * WIN32 utilities
5036
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5037
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5038
 
5039
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5040
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5041
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5042
 
5043
Minor changes:
5044
  * BuildVersion
5045
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5046
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5047
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5048
 
5049
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5050
 
5051
  * Unix Builds
5052
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5053
    library or a shared library.
5054
 
5055
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5056
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5057
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5058
    start with 'lib'.
5059
 
5060
  * BuildPkgArchive
5061
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5062
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5063
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5064
 
5065
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5066
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5067
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5068
Major changes:
5069
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5070
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5071
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5072
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5073
    being manually maintained.
5074
 
5075
 
5076
Minor changes:
5077
  * MakeAnt directive
5078
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5079
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5080
    supports ANT builds.
5081
 
5082
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5083
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5084
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5085
 
5086
  * Label utility
5087
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5088
    files to be labeled.
5089
 
5090
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5091
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5092
    on Solaris.
5093
 
5094
  * Generated makefiles
5095
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5096
    nothing.
5097
 
5098
  * MOS Toolset
5099
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5100
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5101
    modules.
5102
 
5103
  * Utility: gen_cots
5104
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5105
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5106
 
5107
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5108
 
5109
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5110
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5111
 
5112
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5113
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5114
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5115
Major changes:
5116
  None
5117
 
5118
Minor changes:
5119
  * DEVI addressed
5120
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5121
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5122
 
5123
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5124
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5125
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5126
 
5127
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5128
 
5129
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5130
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5131
 
5132
  * RunTest directive
5133
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5134
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5135
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5136
 
5137
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5138
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5139
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5140
    packaged under JATS
5141
 
5142
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5143
          supported within JATS.
5144
 
5145
  * Jats utility wrapper
5146
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5147
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5148
 
5149
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5150
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5151
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5152
 
5153
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5154
    Eg: jats ant
5155
 
5156
  * Jats utility wrapper
5157
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5158
 
5159
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5160
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5161
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5162
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5163
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5164
 
5165
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5166
    expect a build.pl file.
5167
 
5168
  * Jats utility wrapper
5169
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5170
 
5171
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5172
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5173
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5174
 
5175
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5176
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5177
 
5178
  * Build files
5179
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5180
    ERG extensions.
5181
 
5182

5183
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5184
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5185
Major changes:
5186
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5187
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5188
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5189
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5190
 
5191
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5192
 
5193
Minor changes:
5194
  * None
5195
 
5196
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5197
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5198
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5199
Major changes:
5200
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5201
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5202
    ie:
5203
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5204
 
5205
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5206
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5207
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5208
    environments are compatible.
5209
 
5210
 
5211
Minor changes:
5212
  * BuildName option
5213
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5214
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5215
 
5216
  * jats.bat
5217
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5218
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5219
 
5220
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5221
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5222
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5223
Major changes:
5224
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5225
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5226
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5227
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5228
 
5229
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5230
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5231
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5232
 
5233
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5234
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5235
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5236
 
5237
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5238
    transferred.
5239
 
5240
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5241
    See notes below.
5242
 
5243
  * WIN32 toolset
5244
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5245
    correctly.
5246
 
5247
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5248
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5249
 
5250
  * BuildVersion
5251
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5252
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5253
    other langauges as needed.
5254
 
5255
 
5256
Minor changes:
5257
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5258
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5259
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5260
    version strings.
5261
 
5262
  * GenerateFiles directive
5263
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5264
    package or an imported package.
5265
 
5266
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5267
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5268
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5269
 
5270
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5271
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5272
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5273
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5274
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5275
 
5276
Internal Changes
5277
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5278
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5279
    of utilities.
5280
 
5281
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5282
    functions.
5283
 
5284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5285
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5287
Major changes:
5288
  * Generated makefiles
5289
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5290
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5291
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5292
 
5293
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5294
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5295
    incorrectly processing:
5296
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5297
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5298
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5299
    confused.
5300
 
5301
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5302
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5303
    The construct
5304
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5305
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5306
    then it works.
5307
 
5308
  * MakeAnt directive
5309
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5310
 
5311
    This option has the following effects
5312
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5313
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5314
 
5315
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5316
           early - in the generated files phase.
5317
 
5318
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5319
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5320
 
5321
 
5322
Minor changes:
5323
  * JATS post-installation script
5324
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5325
 
5326
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5327
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5328
    windows.
5329
 
5330
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5331
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5332
 
5333
  * Jats wrapper script
5334
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5335
        1) Contain spaces
5336
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5337
 
5338
  * Toolset
5339
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5340
 
5341
  * JAVA toolset
5342
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5343
    directive:
5344
 
5345
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5346
 
5347
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5348
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5349
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5350
 
5351
  * GCC Toolset
5352
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5353
 
5354
  * Makefile generation
5355
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5356
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5357
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5358
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5359
    package could not be used.
5360
 
5361
  * Unit Tests
5362
    The following environment variables are set:
5363
 
5364
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5365
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5366
 
5367
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5368
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5369
 
5370
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5371
 
5372
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5373
 
5374
 
5375
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5376
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5377
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5378
Major changes:
5379
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5380
 
5381
    Special features of this toolset.
5382
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5383
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5384
       incorporated within the target image.
5385
 
5386
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5387
       --Set=Name=Value
5388
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5389
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5390
 
5391
       --Ref=name
5392
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5393
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5394
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5395
                will be taken from the build version number.
5396
 
5397
Minor changes:
5398
  * MOS Toolset
5399
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5400
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5401
    packaged.
5402
 
5403
  * Src directive
5404
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5405
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5406
    specifier.
5407
 
5408
  * WIN32 runtime support
5409
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5410
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5411
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5412
 
5413
Internal:
5414
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5415
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5416
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5417
 
5418
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5419
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5420
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5421
Major changes:
5422
    * BuildAlias directive
5423
      Added options.
5424
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5425
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5426
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5427
                          targets.
5428
      Eg:
5429
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5430
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5431
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5432
 
5433
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5434
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5435
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5436
 
5437
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5438
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5439
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5440
 
5441
 
5442
Minor changes:
5443
  * Label utility
5444
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5445
    build.pl file
5446
 
5447
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5448
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5449
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5450
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5451
    --FilterIn option.
5452
 
5453
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5454
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5455
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5456
 
5457
  * Location of descpkg file
5458
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5459
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5460
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5461
 
5462
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5463
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5464
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5465
Major changes:
5466
  * RunTest directive
5467
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5468
    Additional options
5469
      --CopyIn=file
5470
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5471
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5472
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5473
        the test area.
5474
 
5475
    Additional operations
5476
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5477
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5478
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5479
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5480
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5481
    Allows flags:
5482
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5483
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5484
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5485
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5486
 
5487
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5488
    existence is tested.
5489
 
5490
  * Packaging Directives
5491
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5492
    such as LMOS.
5493
 
5494
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5495
 
5496
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5497
 
5498
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5499
 
5500
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5501
 
5502
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5503
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5504
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5505
 
5506
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5507
 
5508
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5509
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5510
 
5511
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5512
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5513
 
5514
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5515
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5516
 
5517
Minor changes:
5518
  * Script directive
5519
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5520
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5521
 
5522
  * JATS environment
5523
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5524
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5525
    the JATS wrapper script.
5526
 
5527
  * Label utility
5528
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5529
    There are three modes of operation:
5530
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5531
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5532
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5533

5536
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5537
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5538
Major changes:
5539
 
5540
Minor changes:
5541
  * label utility
5542
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5543
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5544
 
5545
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5546
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5547
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5548
      --ProgLoader=name
5549
 
5550
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5551
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5552
    Options to do this are:
5553
        --TreeDir=name
5554
        --FilterOut=regexp
5555
        --FilterIn=regexp
5556
        --StripDir
5557
 
5558
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5559
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5560
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5561
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5562
 
5563
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5564
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5565
 
5566
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5567
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5568
 
5569
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5570
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5571

Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5576
Major changes:
5577
    * Make commands
5578
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5579
 
5580
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5581
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5582
 
5583
    * Label utility
5584
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5585
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5586
 
5587
Minor changes:
5588
    * Toolsets
5589
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5590
      variables and overrides.
5591
 
5592
      The make_init target is always run.
5593
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5594
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5595
 
5596
    * Deployment
5597
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5598
      with deployment operations.
5599
 
5600
    * Release utility
5601
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5602
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5603
      restricted by options within the build.
5604
 
5605
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5606
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5607
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5608
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5609
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5610
 
5611
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5612
      directives.
5613
 
5614
    * MakeProject directive
5615
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5616
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5617
 
5618
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5619
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5620
      is preserved.
5621
 
5622
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5623
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5624
      statements.
5625
 
5626
    * Mugfile generation
5627
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5628
      be placed in the target package.
5629
 
5630
 
5631
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5632
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5633
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5634
Major changes:
5635
    * BuildVersion directive
5636
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5637
      number as well as a patch number.
5638
 
5639
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5640
      number.
5641
 
5642
Minor changes:
5643
    * AddFlags directives
5644
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5645
      duplicate flags being added.
5646
 
5647
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5648
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5649
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5650
 
5651
    * Mug File Generation
5652
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5653
 
5654
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5655
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5656
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5657
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5658
     directory.
5659
 
5660
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5661
     reproducible.
5662
 
5663
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5664
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5665
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5666
Major changes:
5667
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5668
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5669
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5670
      longer a list of directories.
5671
 
5672
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5673
      done within the toolset.
5674
 
5675
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5676
 
5677
    * JATS environment variables
5678
      Redefined variable
5679
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5680
                          Previously was a list that included the
5681
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5682
 
5683
      New variable
5684
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5685
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5686
 
5687
 
5688
Minor changes:
5689
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5690
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5691
      target platforms to be extracted.
5692
 
5693
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5694
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5695
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5696
 
5697
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5698
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5699
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5700
 
5701
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5702
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5703
 
5704
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5705
      Support ANT based XML files
5706
 
5707
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5708
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5709
      structure.
5710
 
5711
    * makefile.pl's
5712
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5713
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5714
 
5715
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5716
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5717
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5718
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5719
 
5720
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5721
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5722
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5723
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5724
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5725
      -- Auto.
5726
 
5727
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5728
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5729
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5730
 
5731
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5732
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5733
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5734
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5735
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5736
 
5737
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5738
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5739
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5740
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5741
      installed on the machine.
5742
 
5743
    * WINCE Targets
5744
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5745
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5746
 
5747
 
5748
 
5749
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5750
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5751
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5752
Major changes:
5753
    * WIN32 platforms
5754
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5755
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5756
      and installed packages.
5757
 
5758
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5759
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5760
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5761
 
5762
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5763
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5764
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5765
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5766
      searched when looking for libraries.
5767
 
5768
Minor changes:
5769
    * GenerateFiles directive
5770
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5771
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5772
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5773
                          and drive letter
5774
 
5775
    * Src directive
5776
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5777
      directory of a package.
5778
 
5779
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5780
 
5781
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5782
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5783
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5784
 
5785
    * jats_rewrite utility
5786
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5787
 
5788
 
5789
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5790
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5791
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5792
Major changes:
5793
    * SunWorks production builds
5794
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5795
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5796
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5797
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5798
      compiler documentation.
5799
 
5800
    * MOS Toolset
5801
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5802
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5803
 
5804
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5805
 
5806
Minor changes:
5807
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5808
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5809
      This should not affect current users.
5810
 
5811
    * Mugfile generation
5812
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5813
      specified.
5814
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5815
 
5816
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5817
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5819
Major changes:
5820
    MOS Toolset
5821
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5822
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5823
 
5824
Minor changes:
5825
    * Jats wrapper script
5826
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5827
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5828
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5829
 
5830
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5831
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5832
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5833
      may be suspect.
5834
 
5835
    * GenerateFiles directive
5836
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5837
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5838
 
5839
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5840
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5841
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5842
Major changes:
5843
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5844
      build.xml files.
5845
 
5846
Minor changes:
5847
    * WIN32 toolset.
5848
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5849
 
5850
    * MakeAnt
5851
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5852
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5853
 
5854
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5855
 
5856
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5857
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5858
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5859
 
5860
    * MakeAnt directive
5861
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5862
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5863
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5864
 
5865
      Recommended usage:
5866
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5867
 
5868
Internal Changes
5869
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5870

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5874
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5875
Major changes:
5876
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5877
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5878
      files packaged into the release.
5879
 
5880
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5884
 
5885
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5886
      The recommended platform is:
5887
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5888
 
5889
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5890
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5891
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5892
      components.
5893
 
5894
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

5898
 
5899
Minor changes:
5900
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5901
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5902
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5903
      by the package to be accessed.
5904
 
5905
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5906
      application or visual studio.
5907
 
5908
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5909
      and the JATS Core path.
5910
 
5911
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5912
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5913
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5914
 
5915
    * MOS Toolset
5916
      Add support for the TPT device
5917
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5918
 
5919
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5920
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5921
 
5922
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5923
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5924
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5925
 
5926
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5927
 
5928
Internal Changes
5929
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5930
      in jats.pl
5931
 
5932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5933
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5934
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5935
Major changes:
5936
    * JATS wrapper script
5937
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5938
 
5939
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5940
 
5941
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5942
 
5943
Minor changes:
5944
    * Deployment support
5945
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5946
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5947
 
5948
    * 'build'
5949
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5950
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5951
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5952
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5953
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5954
 
5955
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5956
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5957
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5958
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5959
                                      the link phase.
5960
 
5961
    * BuildPkgArchive
5962
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5963
      Previously these were ignored.
5964
      Minor code cleanup
5965
 
5966
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5967
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5968
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5969
 
5970
    * SOLARIS targets
5971
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5972
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5973
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5974
 
5975
    * MugFile generation
5976
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5977
      included in the final package.
5978
 
5979
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5980
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5981
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5982
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5983
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5984
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5985
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5986
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5987
 
5988
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5989
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5990
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5991
            --Option=(some_text)
5992
            --Option=[some_text]
5993
            --Option={some_text}
5994
 
5995
Internal Changes
5996
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5997
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5998
      code.
5999

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6001
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6002
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6003
Major changes:
6004
    * JATS wrapper script
6005
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6006
 
6007
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6008
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6009
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6010
      other components.
6011
 
6012
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6013
 
6014
    * JATS
6015
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6016
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6017
 
6018
    * Build operations
6019
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6020
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6021
      packages.
6022
 
6023
    * Make operations
6024
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6025
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6026
 
6027
Minor changes:
6028
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6029
      deployment builds.
6030
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6031
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6032
 
6033
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6034
 
6035
    * build.pl
6036
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6037
        processed. Allows
6038
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6039
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6040
        production.
6041
 
6042
    * MOS toolset
6043
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6044
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6045
 
6046
    * create_dpkg utility
6047
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6048
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6049
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6050
      progress of the build.
6051
 
6052
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6053
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6054
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6055
      system.
6056
 
6057
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6058
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6060
Major changes:
6061
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6062
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6063
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6064
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6065
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6066
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6067
 
6068
    * WCEX86A500 target
6069
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6070
 
6071
    * MOS Toolsets
6072
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6073
      the compiler.
6074
 
6075
    * RunTest directive
6076
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6077
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6078
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6079
 
6080
Minor changes:
6081
    * JATS BUILD
6082
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6083
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6084
      highlight bad settings.
6085
 
6086
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6087
      access to extensions.
6088
 
6089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6090
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6092
Major changes:
6093
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6094
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6095
 
6096
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6097
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6098
      under unix.
6099
 
6100
Minor changes:
6101
    * label utility
6102
      Added options to:
6103
        o Delete a label
6104
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6105
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6106
 
6107
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6108
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6109
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6110
      Package directives.
6111
 
6112
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6113
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6114
      system.
6115
 
6116
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6117
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6118
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6119
Major changes:
6120
    * MOS Toolset
6121
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6122
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6123
 
6124
    * WIN32 Toolset
6125
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6126
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6127
      list.
6128
 
6129
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6130
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6131
 
6132
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6133
 
6134
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6135
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6136
 
6137
 
6138
Minor changes:
6139
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6140
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6141
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6142
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6143
      corrected.
6144
 
6145
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6146
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6147
 
6148
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6149
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6150
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6151
 
6152
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6153
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6154
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6155
Major changes:
6156
    * WIN32 Toolset
6157
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6158
      use with multithreaded modes.
6159
 
6160
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6161
      --OnlyProd.
6162
 
6163
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6164
      within the makefile.pl.
6165
 
6166
Minor changes:
6167
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6168
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6169
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6170
      platforms.
6171
 
6172
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6173
 
6174
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6175
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6176
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6177
Major changes:
6178
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6179
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6180
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6181
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6182
 
6183
    * Preliminary Support
6184
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6185
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6186
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6187
 
6188
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6189
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6190
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6191
 
6192
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6193
      building. The default build will build both.
6194
 
6195
Minor changes:
6196
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6197
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6198
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6199
 
6200
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6201
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6202
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6203
 
6204
 
6205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6206
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6208
Major changes:
6209
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6210
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6211
      or all.
6212
 
6213
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6214
      the library or program.
6215
 
6216
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6217
 
6218
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6219
      library or any debug files.
6220
 
6221
    * GenerateFiles
6222
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6223
 
6224
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6225
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6226
 
6227
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6228
              The filename of the prereq file
6229
 
6230
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6231
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6232
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6233
 
6234
 
6235
Minor changes:
6236
    * create_dpkg utility
6237
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6238
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6239
      the package has been altered.
6240

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6242
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6244
Major changes:
6245
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6246
      This is a WINCE target
6247
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6248
 
6249
    * New toolset
6250
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6251
 
6252
    * Modified toolset
6253
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6254
 
6255
    * Modified toolset
6256
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6257
 
6258
Minor changes:
6259
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6260
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6261
 
6262
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6263
 
6264
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6265
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6266
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6267
 
6268
      The change allows the construct
6269
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6270
      to be replaced by the simpler
6271
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6272
 
6273
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6274
      specified name.    
6275

6294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6295
Major changes:
6296
    * The "package.pl" file.
6297
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6298
      package name being taken from the build name
6299
 
6300
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6301
      package Build Name.
6302
 
6303
Minor changes:
6304
    * create_dpkg utility
6305
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
6306

6313
    * Dependancy generator
6314
      Correct two common situations
6315
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6316
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6317
           ansi, but is often done.
6318
 
6319
    * GCC toolset
6320
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6321
      being created in the correct place.
6322
 
6323
    * jats "label"
6324
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6325
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6326
 
6327
 
6328

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6331
Major changes:
6332
 
6333
Minor changes:
6334
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6335
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6336
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6337
 
6338
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6339
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6340
 
6341
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6342
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6343
      package was not being transferred.

6349
    * Support for solaris_i386
6350
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6351
      binaries for this target.
6352
 
6353
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6354
      with the GCC compiler.
6355
 
6356
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6357
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6358
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6359
 
6360
Minor changes:
6361
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6362
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6363
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6364
 
6365
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6366
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6367
 
6368
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6369
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6370
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6371
Major changes:
6372
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6373
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6374
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6375
 
6376
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6377
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6378
 
6379
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6380
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6381
      with either " or ' characters.
6382
 
6383
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6384
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6385
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6386
 
6387
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6388
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6389
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6390
 
6391
    * Jats wrapper
6392
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6393
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6394
      further commands.
6395
 
6396
Minor changes:
6397
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6398
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6399
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6400
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6401
 
6402
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6403
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6404
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6405
Major changes:
6406
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6407
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6408
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6409
 
6410
      These options operation affect all components within the
6411
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6412
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6413
 
6414
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6415
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6416
 
6417
Minor changes:
6418
 
6419
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6420
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6421
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6422
Major changes:
6423
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6424
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6425
 
6426
Minor changes:
6427
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6428
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6429
 
6430
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6431
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6432
 
6433
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6434
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6435
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6436
Major changes:
6437
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6438
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6439
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6440
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6441
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6442
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6443
      installed.
6444
 
6445
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6446
      libraries that depend on each other.
6447
 
6448
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6449
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6450
 
6451
Minor changes:
6452
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6453
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6454
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6455
 
6456
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6457
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6458
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6459
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6460
 
6461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6462
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6463
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6464
Major changes:
6465
 
6466
Minor changes:
6467
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6468
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6469
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6470
      file.
6471
 
6472
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6473
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6474
 
6475
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6476
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6477
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6478
 
6479
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6480
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6481
 
6482
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6483
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6484
 
6485
    * WinCE toolsets
6486
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6487
      compiler specific libraries.
6488
 
6489
    * SOLARIS toolset
6490
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6491
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6492
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6493
 
6494
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6495
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6496
      cleaned up.
6497
 
6498
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6499
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6500
 
6501
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6502
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6503
      with either " or ' characters.
6504
 
6505
 
6506
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6507
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6508
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6509
Major changes:
6510
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6511
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6512
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6513
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6514
 
6515
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6516
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6517
 
6518
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6519
      user.
6520
 
6521
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6522
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6523
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6524
 
6525
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6526
      for the   -Gf option.
6527
 
6528
Minor changes:
6529
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6530
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6531
 
6532
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6533
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6534
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6535
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6536
 
6537
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6538
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6539
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6540
Major changes:
6541
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6542
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6543
 
6544
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6545
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6546
      data addresses for the board.
6547
 
6548
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6549
 
6550
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6551
 
6552
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6553
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6554
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6555
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6556
         PackageFile
6557
 
6558
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6559
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6560
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6561
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6562
 
6563
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6564
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6565
      to be installed and packaged.
6566
 
6567
Minor changes:
6568
 
6569
    * cache_dpkg utility
6570
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6571
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6572
 
6573
    * label utility
6574
      New option -auto to create and label
6575
 
6576
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6577
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6578
 
6579
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6580
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6581
      directory. ie:
6582
 
6583
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6584
 
6585
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6586
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6587
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6588
 
6589
 
6590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6591
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6592
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6593
Major changes:
6594
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6595
 
6596
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6597
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6598
 
6599
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6600
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6601
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6602
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6603
 
6604
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6605
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6606
      compilation.
6607
 
6608
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6609
 
6610
Minor changes:
6611
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6612
      one is being produced.
6613
 
6614
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6615
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6616
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6617
 
6618
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6619
 
6620
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6621
 
6622
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6623
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6624
 
6625
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6626
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6627
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6628
Major changes:
6629
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6630
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6631
 
6632
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6633
 
6634
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6635
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6636
      same directory
6637
 
6638
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6639
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6640
      documenattion.
6641
 
6642
Minor changes:
6643
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6644
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6645
 
6646
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6647
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6648
 
6649
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6650
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6651
 
6652
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6653
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6654
 
6655
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6656
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6657
      be exempt from this test.
6658
 
6659
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6660
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6661
 
6662
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6663
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6664
 
6665
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6666
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6667
      does.
6668
 
6669
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6670
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6671
 
6672
 
6673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6674
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6675
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6676
Major changes:
6677
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6678
 
6679
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6680
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6681
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6682
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6683
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6684
 
6685
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6686
      operations.
6687
 
6688
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6689
 
6690
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6691
 
6692
Minor changes
6693
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6694
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6695
 
6696
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6697
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6698
      directory is not added to the library path.
6699
 
6700
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6701
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6702
 
6703
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6704
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6705
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6706
 
6707
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6708
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6709
      specific flags.
6710
 
6711
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6712
 
6713
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6714
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6715
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6716
 
6717
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6718
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6719
      JATS.
6720
 
6721
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6722
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6723
 
6724
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6725
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6726
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6727
 
6728
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6729
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6730
 
6731
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6732
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6733
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6734
 
6735
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6736
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6737
 
6738
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6739
 
6740
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6741
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6742
 
6743
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6744
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6745
      objects.
6746
 
6747
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6748
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6749
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6750
      build defendants.
