4036 dpurdie 158
      Improved the process that creates symbolic links between a Shared
4034 dpurdie 159
      Libraries 'RealName' and its 'soname' and 'link name'
160
 
161
      Added support for a compiler to be provided through a package.
162
      Specifically implemented to allow Android
163
 
164

4003 dpurdie 176
Version:  3.2.2000.cr                               Released: 27-Aug-13
177
------------------------------------------------------------------------
178
Major changes:
179
 
180
Minor changes:
181
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
182
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
183
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
184
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
185
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
186
 
187
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
188
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.
189

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3987 dpurdie 191
Version:  3.2.1000.cr                               Released: 16-Aug-2013
192
------------------------------------------------------------------------
193
Major changes:
194
 
195
Minor changes:
196
    * Utility: update_release
197
      Added options:
198
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
199
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
200
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
201
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
202
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
203
      Report filter elements that are not used.
204
 
205
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
206
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
207
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
208
 
209
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
210
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
211
 
212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3967 dpurdie 213
Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
214
------------------------------------------------------------------------
215
Major changes:
216
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
217
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
218
      intended to build deployed software.
219
 
220
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
221
      the DEVLINUX alias.
222
 
223
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
224
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
225
 
226
Minor changes:
227
    * Jats wrapper script
228
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
229
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
230
      Subversion instance of the command.
231
 
232
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
233
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
234
 
235
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
236
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
237
 
238
    * Utility: jats upddep
239
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
240
      file under windows.
241
 
242
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
243
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
244
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
245
 
246
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
247
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
248
 
249
    * GCC Toolchain
250
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.
251

254
------------------------------------------------------------------------
255
Major changes:
256
    * Jira Issue: JATS-274: Long view name causes legacy package to
257
                            fail to daemon build
258
      Create shorter viewnames when extracting Subversion workspace
259

------------------------------------------------------------------------
266
Major changes:
267
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
268
      Support for Intellect PAX.
269
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
270
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
271
 
272
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
273
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.
274
 
275
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3559 dpurdie 276
Version:  3.1.7000.cr                               Released: 03-May-13

    * New Platform: VSDEVRC
280
      Uses an MSP430G2553 processor, a member of the Texas Instruments MSP430
281
      family
3559 dpurdie 282
 
283
Minor changes:
284
    * Utility: jats sandbox
285
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
286
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
287
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
288
      line.
289
 
290
    * Jats Configuration
291
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
292
 
293
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
294
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
295
      and Linux.
296
 
297
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
298
      correctly rippled.
299

3347 dpurdie 301
Version:  3.1.6000.cr                               Released: 05-Apr-13
302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
303
Major changes:
304
 
305
Minor changes:
306
    * Jats Core
307
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
308
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
309
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
310
 
311
    * Utility: svnsave_build
312
      Used only by the build daemons.
313
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
314
 
315
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
316
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
317
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
318
 
319
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3045 dpurdie 320
Version:  3.1.5000.cr                               Released: 13-Feb-13 
321
------------------------------------------------------------------------
322
Major changes:
323
 
324
Minor changes:
325
    * svnrelease utility
326
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
327
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
328
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
329
 
330
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
331
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
332
      the named tag.
333
 
334
    * svnrelease utility
335
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
336
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
347
        covered by the makefile.
348
 
349
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
350
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
351
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
352
 
353
    * ALL Toolsets
354
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
355
 
356
    * Utility vcsdiff
357
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
358
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
359
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
367

368
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
369
      directory of the tag.
370
 
371
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
372
      repository.
373
 
374
    * Subversion Support
375
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
376
      showing the user what to do.
377
 
378
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
379
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
380
      we have build support for this target.
381
 
382
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
383
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
384
 
385
Internal:
386
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
387
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
388
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
389
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

396
Minor changes:
397
    * Makefile Generation.
398

Version:  3.1.1000.cr                               Released: 14-Nov-12
402
------------------------------------------------------------------------
403
Major changes:
404
 
405
Minor changes:
406
    * Makefile generation
407
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
408
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
409
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
410
      of warnings.
411
 
412
    * Makefile Generation
413
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
414
 
415
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
416
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

2429 dpurdie 421
------------------------------------------------------------------------
422
Major changes:
423
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
424
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
425
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
426
      these operations with a dedicated program.
427
 
428
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
429
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
430
      windows path scheme.
431
 
432
Minor changes:
433
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
434
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
435
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
436
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
437
 
438
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
439
        jats make clobber
440
      This operates as before.
441
 
442
    * Utility: escrow
443
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
444
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
445
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
446
 
447
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
448
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
449
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
450
 
451
    * Utility: svn : url
452
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
453
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
454
 
455
    * Utility: svn : import
456
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
457
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
458
 
459
    * Subversion Support
460
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
461
      showing the user what to do.
462
 
463
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
464
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
465
      repositories.
466

------------------------------------------------------------------------
470
 
471
Minor changes:
472
    * Jats build
473
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
474
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
475
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
476
 
477
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 478
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 479
 
480
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages

490
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
491
                 Can also display available branches.
492
 
2054 dpurdie 493
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
499
 
500
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
501
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
502
      Modified two options:
503
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
504
                        The named branch must not exist
505
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
506
                        The named branch must exist
507
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

541
 
542
Major changes:
543
    * Jats Version Number
544
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
545
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
546
      significantly.
547
 
548
Minor changes:

558
Major changes:
559
    * Subversion support
560
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
561
      SubVersion. Changes include:
562
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
563
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
564
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
565
 
566
Minor changes:
567
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
568
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
569
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
570
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
571

572
 
573
    * Utility: svnsave_build
574
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
575
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
576
 
577

578
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
579
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
580

584
------------------------------------------------------------------------
585
Major changes:
586
    * Subversion Repository location
587
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
588
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
589
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
590
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
591
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
592
 
593
Minor changes:
594
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
595
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
596
 
597
    * Utility: svnrelease
598
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
599
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
600
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
601
 
602
    * Utility: svnsave_build
603
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
604
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
605
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
606
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
607
 
608
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
609
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
610
 
611
    * Utility: sandbox
612
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
613
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
614
 
615
      Subcommand: populate
616
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
617
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
618
      sandbox.
619
 
620
    * Subversion Support
621
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
622
      repository is not supported.
623
 
624
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
625
      a progress indication.
626
 
627
    * Jats Online Documentation
628
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
629
      online documentation.
630
 
631
    * Generated makefiles
632
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 681
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 682
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
683
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
684
 
685
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 686
      Specialized platform for the VIX 'ITP' product.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
709
Major changes:
710
 
711
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
712
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
713
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
714
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
715
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
716
 
717
    * C# Toolchain
718
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

728
 
729
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
730
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
731
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
732
 
733
    * Utility ccrelease
734
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
735
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
736
 
737
    * Utility: svn
738
      Improved package import processing.
739
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
740

------------------------------------------------------------------------
767
Major changes:
768
 
769
Minor changes:
770
    * Command: jats clobber
771
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
772
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
773
 
774
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
775
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
776
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
777
 
778
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
779
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
780
 
377 dpurdie 781
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
782
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
783
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 784
 
785
    * jats svnlabel
786
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
787
 
788
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
789
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
790
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
791
 
792
    * Built Daemon support
793
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
794
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
795

Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
798
------------------------------------------------------------------------
799
Major changes:
800
    * GCC Toolset
801
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
802
      New methodology is:
803
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
804
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
805
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
806
        as the main binary.
807
 
808
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
809
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
810
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
811
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
812
      both worlds.
813
 
814
Minor changes:
815
    * HTML Documentation
816

946
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
947
 
948
    * jats build -noforce
949
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
950
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
951
      be forced.
952
 
953
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
954
 
955
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
956
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
957
 
958
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
959
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
960
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
961
 
962
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
963
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
964
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
965
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
966
 
967
    * Utility: svnrelease
968
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
969
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
970
 
971
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
972
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
973
 
974
    * Utility: svn
975
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
976
      installed and can be used.
977
 
978
    * Toolset: CSharp
979
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
980
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
981
      character.
982
 
983
    * Toolset: SunWorks
984
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
985
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
986
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
987
      masking an error.
988
 
989
    * Toolset: Delphi7
990
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
991
      enhancement.

999
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1000
 
1001
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1002
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1003
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1004
 
1005
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1006

1009
    * make command: show
1010
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1011
      'jats make show' command.
1012
 
1013
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1014
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1015
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1016
 
1017
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1018
      executed on Unix machines.

      Corrects and extended the operation of the platform-specifier.
1206
      All non-platform options must be true, while the platform names are
1207
      treated as before - any of them may be true. See MASS-00166 for full
1208
      details.

Minor changes:
1220
    * Jats Sandbox operation
1221
      Don't remove .RUL files in sandbox testing of the build files
1222
 
1223
    * Jats MakeProject directive
1224
      Added --TargetDebug= and --TargetProd=  to allow the default target
1225
      of the project builds to be specified.
1226
 
1227
      Can be used in all targets that use a Visual Studio project or solution
1228
      to build a package.
1229
 
1230
    * MergeLibrary directive
1231
      New sub-option --InterfacePlain
1232
      This will allow the use of 3rd party libraries that do not have a P or D
1233
      suffix in the library name.
1234
 
1235
    * GenerateFiles directive
1236
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
1237
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
1238
 
1239
    * BuildPlatform
1240
      New option: --NoToolSet
1241
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
1242
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
1243
 
1244
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
1245
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
1246
      need toolset specific information.
1247
 
1248
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
1249
 
1250
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
1251
 
1252
Internal:

    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
1254
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
1255
      processing into jats.pl
1256
 
1257
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
1258
      a ClearCase site.

1359
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
1360
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
1361
      resulting in multiple builds.
1362
 
1363
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
1364
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
1365
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
1366
 
1367
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
1368
 
1369
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
1370
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
1371
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

1377
 
1378
Minor changes:
1379
    * Jats label command
1380
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1381
      Not recommended for general use.
1382
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1383
      directories within the current view.
1384
 
1385
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1386
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1387
      elsewhere.
1388
 
1389
    * Jats save_build
1390
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1391
      the determination of a branch.
1392
 
1393
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1394
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1395
 
1396
    * Jats build
1397
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1398
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1399
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1400
 
1401
    * Borland6 toolset
1402
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1403
      to match the documented install location of:
1404
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1405
 
1406
    * Jats build
1407
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1408
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1409
      This is a very quick operation.
1410
 
1411
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1412
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1413
 
1414
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1415
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1416
      files are only recreated if need be.
1417
 
1418
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1419
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1420
      make the package.
1421
 
1422
    * Jats sandbox
1423
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1424
 
1425
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1426
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1427
 
1428
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1429
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1430
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1431
      is performed.
1432
 
1433
Internal:

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1471
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1472
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1473
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1474
 
1475
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1476
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1477
 
1478
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1479
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1480
      platform builds.
1481
 
1482
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1483
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1484
      directory tree.
1485
 
1486

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1500
Major changes:
1501
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1502
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1503
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1504
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1505
 
1506
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1507
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1508
 
1509
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1510
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1511
 
1512
      Examples:
1513
            jats upddep -show
1514
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1515
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1516
 
1517
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1518
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1519
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1520
 
1521
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1522
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1523
 
1524
Minor changes:
1525

1532
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1533
Major changes:
1534
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1535
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1536
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1537
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1538
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1539
      stream.
1540
 
1541
      Example:
1542
 
1543
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1544
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1545
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1546
                     );
1547
Minor changes:
1548
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1549
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1550
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1551
      directive.
1552
 
1553
    * GCC Toolkit
1554
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1555
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1556
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1557
      the point of termination.
1558
 
1559
    * Jats save_build utility
1560
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1561
      under windows.
1562
 
1563
    * Jats sandbox
1564
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1565
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1566
      in different sandboxes.
1567
 
1568
    * Jats release
1569
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

      directory.
1581
 
1582
    * jats label utility
1583
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1584
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1585
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1586
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1587

        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1599
        noExceptions            - Disable
1600
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1601
      Example:
1602
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1603
 
1604
    * Solaris targets
1605
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1606
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1607
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1608
      machine type.

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1613
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1614
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1615
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1616
      project files.
1617
 
1618
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1619
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1620
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1621
 
1622
Minor changes:
1623
    * Added more internal documentation
1624
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1625
 
1626
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1627
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1628
 
1629
    * Jats save_build utility
1630
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1631
      under windows.
1632
 
1633
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1634
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1635
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1636
      libraries.
1637
 
1638
    * Solaris builds
1639
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1640
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1641
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1642
      of the build failure.
1643
 
1644
 
1645
Internal changes:
1646
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1647
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1648
 
1649
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1650
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
1654
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1655
Major changes:
1656
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1657
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1658
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1659
      existing 32-bit builds.
1660
 
1661
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1662
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1663
 
1664
Minor changes:
1665
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1666
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1667
 
1668
    * Package searching
1669
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1670
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1671
 
1672
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1673
 
1674
    * jats help
1675
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1676
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1677
 
1678
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1679
      with one of:
1680
        jats -h
1681
        jats help jats
1682
 
1683
Internal:
1684
    * cmdfile utility
1685
      Added macros:
1686
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1687
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1688
 
1689
      Corrected
1690
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1691
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1692
 
1693
      Extended
1694
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1695
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1696
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1697
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1702
Major changes:
1703
 
1704
Minor changes:
1705
 
1706
Internal changes
1707
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1708
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1709
      Useful side effects include:
1710
 
1711
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1712
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1713
 
1714
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1715
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1716
 
1717
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1718
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1719
        BuildPkgArchive
1720
 
313 dpurdie 1721
    * Perl Modules
1722
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1723
      release. This will:
1724
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1725
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1726
          reported by ERG.
1727
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

1732
Major changes:
1733
 
1734
Minor changes:
1735
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1736
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1737
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1738
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1739
 
1740
    * Jats label utility
1741
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1742
 
1743
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1744
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1745
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1746
 
1747
    * Jats core
1748
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1749
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1750
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1759
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1760
      This is now fixed.
1761
 
309 dpurdie 1762
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1763
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1764
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1765
 
1766
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1767
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1775
    * Generating makefiles
1776
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1777
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1778
      an error.
1779
 
1780
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1781
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1782
 
1783
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1784
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1790
Major changes:
1791
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1792
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1793
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1794
 
1795
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1796
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1797
 
1798
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1799
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1800
      Support includes
1801
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1802
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1803
 
1804
Minor changes:
1805
    * Build file processing
1806
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1807
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1808
 
1809
    * MOS builds
1810
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1811
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1812
 
1813
    * MOS builds
1814
      New 'known' product: PICP
1815
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1816
 
1817
    * GenerateFiles directive
1818
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1819
        under windows.
1820
 
1821
        .
1822
 
1823
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1824
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1825
 
1826
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1827
      to the output stream.
1828
 
1829
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1830
 
1831
    * Windows Shell
1832
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1833
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1834
 
1835
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1836
 
1837
    * H8S toolset
1838
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1839
 
1840
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1841
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1842
 
1843
Internal changes
1844
    * WinCe builds
1845
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1846
      content of the file.
1847
 
1848
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1849
 
1850
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1851
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1863
Major changes:
1864
 
1865
Minor changes:
1866
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1867
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1868
      Changes are transparent to users.
1869
 
1870
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1871
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1872
      this occurs.
1873
 
1874
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1875
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1876
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1877
      automated build framework.
1878
 
1879
    * jats sandbox command
1880
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1881
      'create' command.
1882
 
1883
    * jats command aliases. Added
1884
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1885
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1890
Major changes:
1891
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1892
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1893
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1894
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1895
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1896
      will work as expected
1897
 
1898
Minor changes:
1899
    * VS2008 Toolset
1900
      Picking up incorrect config details
1901
      May result in a warning message.
1902
 
1903
    * gen_cots utility
1904
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1905
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1906
 
1907
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1908
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1956
Major changes:
1957
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1958
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1959
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1960
 
1961
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1962
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1963
 
1964
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1965
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1966
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1967
           names cannot be changed.
1968
 
1969
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1970
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1971
 
1972
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1973
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1974
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1975
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1976
 
1977
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1978
      file.
1979
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1980
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1981
      MyPackage.dpk.
1982
 
1983
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1984
      file.
1985
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1986
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1987
      MyDll.dpr.
1988
 
1989
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1990
      file.
1991
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1992
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1993
      MyProg.dpr.
1994
 
1995
Minor changes:
1996
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1997
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1998
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1999
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2000
 
2001
    * BuildVersion directive
2002
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2003
      in a Delphi Unit.
2004
 
2005
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2006
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2007
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2008
      'know' the location of the files.
2009
 
2010
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2011
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2012
 
2013
Internal Changes:
2014
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2015
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2016
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2017
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2018
 
2019
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2020
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2021
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

2025
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2026
Major changes:
2027
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2028
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2029
      information for purely C++ builds.
2030
 
289 dpurdie 2031

            Manager
287 dpurdie 2037
 
2038
Minor changes:
2039

2083
      used in the build.
2084
 
2085
    * Escrow command
2086
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2087
 
2088
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2089
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2090
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2091
 
2092
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2093
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2098
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2099
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2100
 
279 dpurdie 2101
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2102
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2103
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2104
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2105
 
2106
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2107
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2108
 
2109
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2110
 
2111
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2112
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2113
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2114
 
2115
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2116
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2117
        processed.
2118
 
2119
      Removed the '-delete' option
2120
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2121
 
277 dpurdie 2122
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2123
    * Sandbox command
2124
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2125
 
2126
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2127
      target from consideration in the build set.
2128
 
2129
    * MCR Toolset
2130
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2131
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2132
 
2133
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2134
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2135
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2136
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2137
 
2138
    * Jats run_test command
2139
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2140
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2141
 
2142
    * descpkg file
2143
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2144
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2145
 
2146
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2147
     Now contains build trace information
2148
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2149
 
2150
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2151
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2152
     it contains 'jar' files.
2153
 
2154
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2155
 
2156
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2157
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2158
 
2159
   * BuildVersion directive
2160
     Form:
2161
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2162
     now works as expected.
2163
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2164
 
2165
Internal Changes:
2166
 
2167
    * Error reporting mechanism
2168
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2169
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2170
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

2182
    then starts.
2183
 
2184
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2185
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2186
 
2187
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2188
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2189
    non-platform option.
2190
 
279 dpurdie 2191
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
2330
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2331
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
2332
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
2346
 
2347
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
2348
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
2349
 
2350
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
2351
      New options:
2352
        no_define_source_file
2353
        define_source_file              (Default)
2354
 
2355
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2356
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2357
 
2358
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
2359
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
2360
      compatibility.
2361
 
2362
    * Jats directives: MakeProject

            --InstallProgProd=list
2366
            --InstallProg=list
2367
 
2368
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
2369
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
2370
      GenerateCab.
2371
 
2372
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags
2373

2524
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2525
      Previously was being done at two places
2526
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2527
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but

2608
         Support extends to allow:
2609
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2610
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2611
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2612
 
2613
        VS2005
2614
         Support extends to allow:
2615
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2616
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2617
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2618
 
2619
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2620
      through a version selector:
2621
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2622
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2623
 
2624
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2625
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2626
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2627
 
2628
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2629
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2630
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2631
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2632
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2633
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2634
          under VS2005.
2635
 
2636
Minor changes:
2637
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
2642
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2643
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2644
 
2645
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2646
 
2647
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2648
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2649
 
2650
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2651
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2652
      a minimal value of perl.
2653
 
2654
      Removed excessive require statements.
2655

2660
        2) Linux
2661
 
2662
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2663
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2664
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2665
      machines.
2666
 
2667
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2668

2672
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2673
 
2674
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2675
      wrapper scripts.
2676
 
2677
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2678
      Correct problem with location of build files.

    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2755
        releasemanager.releasename
2756
        releasemanager.projectname
2757
 
2758
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2759
    tagged data item of the form
2760
 
2761
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2762
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2763
 
2764
  * Mug File Generation
2765
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2766
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2767
 
2768
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2769
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2770
    required.
2771
 
2772
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2773
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2774
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2775
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2776
    the files in order to use them.
2777
 
2778
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2779
    locate the file.
2780
 
2781
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2782
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2783
 
2784
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2785
        * CSharp
2786
        * Properties
2787
        * WinRC
2788
 
2789
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2790
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2791
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2792
    Value is correctly assigned.
2793

2795
Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
2796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2797
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2798
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2799
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2800
 
2801
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2802
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2803
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2804
 
2805
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2806
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2807
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2808
 
2809
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2810
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2811
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2812
 
2813
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2814
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2815
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2816
    correct.
2817
 
2818
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2819
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2820
 
2821
Minor changes:
2822
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2823
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2824
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2825
 
2826
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2827
    This will simplify new user setup.
2828
 
2829
  * All Unix Toolsets
2830
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2831
    on unix systems
2832
 
2833
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2834
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2835
    on some Solaris Machines.
2836
 
2837
  * JATS -version=<version>
2838
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2839
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2840
 
2841

245 dpurdie 2846
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 2847
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
2848
 
2849
Minor changes:
2850
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
2851
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
2852
 
2853
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
2854
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets
2855
 
2856
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
2857
      Does not work with LMOS
2858
 
2859
    * Readme.txt file
2860
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
2861
 
2862
    * Misc Cleanup
2863
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats
2864
      Move PostInstall script into the BUILD directory.

  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
2871
    Force compiler option -nOj
2872
    The default compiler option (-Oj) has been seen to cause problems with some
2873
    code. Problem reported/analysed by rparker and thunter.

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
2882
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
2883
 
2884
  * JATS builds
2885
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
2886
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
2887
    mode.
2888
 
2889
  * JATS makefiles
2890
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2891
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2892
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2893
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2894
                            SetList directive.
2895
 
2896

        --PackageToolProd=xxx
2903
        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
2904
 
2905
  * JATS buildfile processing
2906
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
2907
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
2908
    of JATS.
2909
 
2910
  * JATS save_build utility
2911
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
2912
    which may be reserved.

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
2940
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
2941
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
2942
 
2943
    * MOS Toolset
2944
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
2945
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
2946
 
2947
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
2958
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
2959
      Previously only worked on Windows

    * Extract/Release utility.
2994
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
2995
      that can handle spaces
2996
 
2997
    * MOS Compiler
2998
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2999
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3000
 
3001
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3002
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3003
      descpkg files to be copied.
3004
 
3005

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3041
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3042
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3043
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3044
 
3045
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3046
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3047
 
3048
    * Jats wrapper
3049
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3050
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3055
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3056
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3057
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3058
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3059
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3060
 
3061
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3062
 
3063
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3064
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3065
 
3066
    * Running Jats
3067
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3068
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3069
      This may affect some windows developers.
3070
 
3071
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3072
      Future versions will generate an error.
3073
 
3074
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3075
 
3076
Minor changes:
3077
    * Perl Version Check
3078
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3079
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3080
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3081
 
3082
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3083
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3084
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3085
      build.
3086
 
3087
    * Jats Internals
3088
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3089
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3090
 
3091
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3092
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3093
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3094
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3095
      process.
3096
 
3097
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3098
      Only works under Windows.
3099
 
3100
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3101
 
3102
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3103
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3104
 
3105
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3106
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3107
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3108
 
3109
    * Jats eprog
3110
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3111
      directory.
3112
 
3113
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3114
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3115
      build metrics.
3116

Major changes:
3121
 
3122
Minor changes:
3123
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3124
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3125
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3126
      automated build system. New options are:
3127
        -pname=Package_Name
3128
        -pversion=Package_Version
3129
 
3130
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3131
      transferring the package. New options are:
3132
        -test
3133
 
3134
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3135
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3136
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3137
 
3138
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3139
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3140
 
3141
    * Solaris Toolset
3142
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3143
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3144
      programs are still supported.

Minor changes:
3152
    * WINCE toolsets
3153
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3154
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3155
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3156
      when header files cannot be found.
3157
 
3158
    * GenerateFiles directive
3159
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3160
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3161
      that are difficult to solve.
3162
 
3163
    * MakePerlModule directive
3164
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3165
      to the the module builder.
3166
 
3167
    * Jats Tool: label
3168
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3169
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3170
      -dirs=xxx options.
3171
 
3172
    * Jats Tool: release
3173
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3174
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3175
 
3176
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3177
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3178
 
3179
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3180
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3181
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3182
 
3183
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

3230
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3231
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3232
      generate phase early.

      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3242
 
3243
    * Makefile generation
3244
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3245
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3246
 
3247
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3248
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3249
 
3250
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3251
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild

3255
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3256
 
3257
    * jats escrow utility
3258
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3259
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3260
 
3261
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3262
      inconsistent packages.
3263
 
3264
    * jats make help
3265
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3266
      available within the current build.
3267
 
3268
    * jats makefiles
3269
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3270
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3271
 
3272
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3273
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3274
 
3275
    * gcc toolset
3276
      SharedLibries.
3277
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3278
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3279
 
3280
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3281
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3282
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3283
 
3284
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3285
        New options:
3286
            --MultiScan
3287
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3288
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3289
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

Major changes:
3296
 
3297
Minor changes:
3298
    PackageLib directive
3299
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3300
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3301
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3302
 
3303
    MakefileGenerate directive
3304
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3305
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3306
 
3307
    Multiple Parent detection
3308
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3309
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3310
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3311
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3312
 
3313
    Solaris Toolset
3314
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3315
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3316
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3317
    link.
3318
 
3319
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3320
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3321
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3322
 
3323
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3324
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3325
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3326
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3331
Major changes:
3332
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3333
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3334
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3335
 
3336
    Summary of changes:
3337
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3338
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3339
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3340
          flexibility.
3341
 
3342
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3343
 
3344
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3345
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3346
          interface directory and associated build information.
3347
 
3348
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3349
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3350
          than one second.
3351
 
3352
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3353
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3354
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3355
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3356
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3357
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3358
 
3359
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3360
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3361
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3362
 
3363
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3364
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3365
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3366
          building them.
3367
 
3368
        - Detection of build file changes
3369
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3370
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3371
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3372
 
3373
        - Quieter make output
3374
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3375
 
3376
 
3377
Minor changes:
3378
    MakeAnt Directive
3379
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3380
 
3381
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3382
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3383
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3384
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3385
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3386
 
3387
    CSHARP toolset
3388
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3389

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3397
    are generated.
3398
 
3399
    MakeAnt
3400
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3401
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3402
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3403
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3404
 
3405
    MCR platform

    MakeAnt directive extended
3416
    New option: --PackageBase
3417
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3418
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3419
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3420
 
3421
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3422
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3423
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3424
        package image being created.

3444
 
3445
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3446
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3447
 
3448
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3449
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3450
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3451
 
3452
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3453
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3454
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3484
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3485
 
3486
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3487
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3488
      last.
3489
 
3490
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3491
 
3492
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3493
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3494
 
3495
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3496
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3497
 
3498
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3499
 
3500
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3501
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3502
 
3503
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3504
 
3505
 
3506
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3507
           with the --System option

3520
      dependent packages.
3521
 
3522
    * RunTest operation
3523
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3531
Major changes:
3532
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3533
 
3534
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3535
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3536
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3537
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3538
      path.
3539
 
3540
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3541
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3542
      reproducible.
3543
 
3544
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3545
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3546
 
3547
      There are several aspects to the change
3548
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3549
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3550
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3551
 
3552
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3553
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3554
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3555
          controlled separately.
3556
 
3557
Minor changes:
3558
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3559
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3560
        Remove duplicates
3561
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3562

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3565
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3566
Major changes:
3567
 
3568
Minor changes:
3569
    * Makefile sanity test
3570
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3571
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3572
 
3573
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3574
      x86 machine.
3575
 
3576
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3577
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3578
 
3579
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3580
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3581
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3582
Major changes:
3583
    * RunTest directive
3584
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3585
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3586
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3587
 
3588
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3589
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3590
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3591
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3592
 
3593
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3594
        builder within the current toolset.
3595
 
3596
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3597
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3598
 
3599
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3600
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3601
      containing the RunTest directive.
3602
 
3603
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3604
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3605
 
3606
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3607
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3608
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3609
 
3610
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3611
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3612
                            P or D suffix.
3613
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3614
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3615
 
3616
Minor changes:
3617
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3618
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3619
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3620
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3621
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3622
 
3623
    * Save Build Utility
3624
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3625
      used in a ripple build.
3626
 
3627
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3628
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3629
 
3630
    * Release Utility
3631
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3632
      when an error is encountered.
3633
 
3634
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3635
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3636
 
3637
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3638
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3639
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3640
 
3641
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3642
      before the makefiles are created.
3643
 
3644
    * TestProg directive
3645
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3646
 
3647
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3648
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3649

3652
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3653
Major changes:
3654
    * New build target
3655
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3656
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3657
 
3658
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3659
            DEVLINUX
3660
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3661
 
3662
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3663
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3664
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3665
 
3666
Minor changes:
3667
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3668
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3669
 
3670
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3671
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3672
 
3673
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3674
      and .cs files.
3675
 
3676
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3677
      thing.
3678
 
3679
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3680
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3681
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3682
      were it places temp files.
3683
 
3684
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3685
      interaction with other builds.
3686
 
3687
    * Release utility command
3688
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3689
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3690
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
3698
 
3699
    Supports the handling of .resx files
3700
 
3701
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
3702
    libraries
3703
 
3704
Minor changes:
3705
  * Unit Tests
3706
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3707
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3708
 
3709
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

  * WINCE Support
3742
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3743
 
3744
  * Removed the following targets
3745
        TP5600
3746
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3747
        TP5600_EMU
3748
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3749
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3750
 
3751
  * Deployment
3752
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3753
 
3754
  * build.pl
3755
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3756
 
3757
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3758
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3759
 
3760
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3761
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3762
    build.
3763
 
3764
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3765
 
3766
  * Tool: escrow
3767
     New features
3768
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3769
     are not in the SBOM.
3770
 
3771
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3772
 
3773
     Specify packages to be ignored.

Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3778
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3779
Major changes:
3780
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3781
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3782
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3783
 
3784
  * GenerateFiles
3785
    Added the options:
3786
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3787
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3788
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3789
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3790
 
3791
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3792
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3793
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3794
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3795
                                  required.
3796
 
3797
 
3798
Minor changes:
3799
  * GenerateFile directive
3800
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3801
 
3802
  * GCC Toolset
3803
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3804
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3805
    be rebuilt.
3806
 
3807
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3808
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3809
 
3810
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3811
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3812
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3813
Major changes:
3814
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3815
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3816
    environment variables.
3817
 
3818
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3819
            moved.
3820
 
3821
    This will affect users that:
3822
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3823
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3824
 
3825
        2) Use the ABT system
3826
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3827
           the required configuration
3828
 
3829
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3830
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3831
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3832
    Windows
3833
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3834
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3835
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3836
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3837
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3838
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3839
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3840
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3841
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3842
 
3843
 
3844
  * New build platforms
3845
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3846
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3847
 
3848
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3849
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3850
 
3851
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3852
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3853
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3854
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3855
 
3856
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3857
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3858
    release.
3859
 
3860
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3861
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3862
 
3863
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3864
    need to be converted.
3865
 
3866
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3867
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3868
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3869
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3870
    used for different targets platforms.
3871
 
3872
  * Sandbox support
3873
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3874
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3875
 
3876
    New command: jats sandbox ...

3883
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3884
Major changes:
3885
  * MakeAnt directive
3886
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3887
 
3888
    New options
3889
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3890
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3891
 
3892
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3893
    run_unit_tests phase.
3894
 
3895
  * Sandbox support
3896
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3897
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3898
 
3899
Minor changes:
3900
  * jats build
3901
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3902
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3903
 
3904
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3905
 
3906
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3907
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3908
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3909
 
3910
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3911
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3912
 
3913
  * JATS.BAT
3914
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3915
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3916
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3917
 
3918
  * jats label
3919
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3920
 
3921

  * New build platform:
3926
        LMOS_TP5600
3927
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3928
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3929
 
3930
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3931
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3932
    describe the group of platforms.
3933
 
3934
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3935
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3936
    build these targets.
3937
 
3938
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3939
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3940
 
3941
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3942
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3943
 
3944
  * New build platform: WINCE
3945
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3946
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3947
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3948
 
3949
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3950
            WCEIT3000
3951
            WCEPA961
3952
            WCEPA962
3953
            WCEPCM7220
3954
            WCEPSION_420
3955
            WCEPSPC_arm
3956
            WCEPSPC_emu
3957
            WCEX86A420
3958
            WCEX86A500
3959
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
3960
 
3961
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3962
 
3963
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3964
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3965
    that contain packaging directives.
3966
 
3967
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3968
    very unusual configurations.
3969
 
3970
Minor changes:
3971
  * Directive: PackageFile
3972
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3973
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3974
    an '='.
3975
 
3976
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3977
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3978
 
3979
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3980
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3981
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3982
 
3983
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3984
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3985
 
3986
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3987
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3988
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3989
Major changes:
3990
 
3991
  * JATS release command
3992
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3993
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3994
 
3995
    Rules are:
3996
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3997
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3998
                            File will be placed on a branch
3999
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4000
                            New directory will branch
4001
 
4002
Minor changes:
4003
  * JATS release command
4004
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4005
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4006
 
4007
  * JATS label command
4008
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4009
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4010
 
4011
  * JATS make
4012
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4013
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4014
    was re-packaged.
4015
 
4016
  * JATS escrow
4017
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4018
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4019
 
4020
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4021
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4022
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4023
 
4024
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4025
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4026
    interface directory.
4027
 
4028
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4029
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4030
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4031
    directory as seen by the package.
4032
 
4033
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4034
 
4035
  * JAVA 6
4036
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4037
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4038
 
4039
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4040
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4041
 
4042
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4043
 
4044
  * Jats command: vars
4045
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4046
    These indicate potential problems.
4047
 
4048
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4049
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4050
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4051
Major changes:
4052
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4053
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4054
    libarry is also created.
4055
 
4056
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4057
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4058
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4059
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4060
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4061
    information contained within the file.
4062
 
4063
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4064
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4065
 
4066
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4067
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4068
 
4069
  * Building Perl Modules
4070
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4071
    documentation on the build machine.
4072
 
4073
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4074
 
4075
Minor changes:
4076
  * jats create_dpkg
4077
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4078
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4079
 
4080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4081
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4083
Major changes:
4084
  * JATS JAVA build target
4085
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4086
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4087
 
4088
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4089
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4090
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4091
    is then picked up as the default version.
4092
 
4093
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4094
    build.pl file.
4095
 
4096
Minor changes:
4097
  * jats release
4098
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4099
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4100
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4101
 
4102
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4103
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4104
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4105
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4106
    the name of the view.
4107
 
4108
  * GenerateFiles directive
4109
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4110
 
4111
  * MOS Toolset
4112
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4113
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4114
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4115
 
4116
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4117
 
4118
 
4119
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4120
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4121
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4122
Major changes:
4123
 
4124
Minor changes:
4125
  * JATS environment
4126
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4127
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4128
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4129
 
4130
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4131
 
4132
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4133
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4134
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4135
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4136
    to be packaged.
4137
 
4138
  * Generated makefiles
4139
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4140
 
4141
  * Generating MOS THX files
4142
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4143
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4144
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4145
 
4146
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4147
 
4148
  * JATS release
4149
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4150
 
4151
  * JATS extract
4152
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4153
 
4154
  * JATS Toolset
4155
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4156
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4157
 
4158
 
4159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4160
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4161
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4162
Major changes:
4163
 
4164
Minor changes:
4165
  * jats label
4166
    Added a -vob=name option
4167
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4168
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4169
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4170
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4171
 
4172
    Added a -user=name option
4173
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4174
    label to the named user.
4175
 
4176
  * jats release
4177
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4178
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4179
 
4180
  * JATS build.pl
4181
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4182
    ie:
4183
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4184
 
4185

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4187
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4189
Major changes:
4190
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4191
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4192
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4193
    the makefile internals. ie:
4194
        --Var(BuildName)
4195
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4196
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4197
 
4198
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4199
 
4200
  * GenerateFiles
4201
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4202
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4203
 
4204
  * BuildPlatforms
4205
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4206
 
4207
Minor changes:
4208
  * GCC Toolset
4209
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4210
 
4211
Internal changes:
4212
  * GenerateFiles
4213
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4214
 
4215
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4216
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4217
 
4218
 
4219
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4220
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4221
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4222
Major changes:
4223
  * Caching JATS
4224
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4225
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4226
 
4227
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4228
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4229
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4230
 
4231
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4232
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4233
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4234
 
4235
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4236
 
4237
Minor changes:
4238
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4239
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4240
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4241
 
4242
  * jats build
4243
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4244
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4245
    processed by the build.
4246
 
4247
  * jats build
4248
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4249
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4250
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4251
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4252
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4253
 
4254
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4255
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4256
    Path is not specified.
4257
 
4258
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4259
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4260
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4261
        --Dir=$Pinc
4262
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4263
 
4264
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4265
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4266
    Windows platform.
4267
 
4268
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4269
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4270
            by 'purecov.
4271
 
4272
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4273
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4274
 
4275
        - OPTIONS=purify
4276
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4277
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4278
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4279

4282
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
4283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4284
Major changes:
4285
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4286
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4287
    Example:
4288
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4289
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4290
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4291
 
4292
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4293
    been determined.
4294
 
4295
Minor changes:
4296
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4297
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4298
    located at build-time.
4299
 
4300
  * Unix based systems
4301
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4302
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4303
 
4304
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4305
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4306
    driver being built.
4307
 
4308
 
4309
------------------------------------------------------------------------

4312
Major changes:
4313
 
4314
 
4315
Minor changes:
4316
  * jats_rewrite tool
4317
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
4318
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
4319
 
4320
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
4321
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4322
 
4323
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4324
    dependancy information within a package.
4325
 
4326
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4327
    messages.
4328

4335
 
4336
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4337
 
4338
    GenerateFiles.
4339
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4340
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4341
                      be run on every invocation.
4342
 
4343
 
4344
Minor changes:
4345
  * Added the jats version command
4346
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
4347
 
4348
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
4349
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4350
  There are two mechanism:
4351
 
4352
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4353
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4354
 
4355
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4356
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4357
 
4358
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4359
  default.
4360
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
4361
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
4362

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4366
Major changes:
4367
  * SunWorks Toolset
4368
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4369
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4370
    It is based on machine type.
4371
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4372
 
4373
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4374
 
4375
Minor changes:
4376

4384
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4385
Major changes:
4386
  * GCC Toolset
4387
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
4388
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4403
 
4404
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4405
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4406
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4407
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4408
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4409
 
4410
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4411
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4412
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4413
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4414
 
4415
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4416
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

4428
 
4429
 
4430
Minor changes:
4431
  * JATS wrapper script
4432
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4433
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4434
    to setup links to system programs.
4435

    Added CompileOptions
4457
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4458
        no_misalign         - Default
4459
 
4460
        multithread         - Default
4461
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
4462
 
4463
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4464
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
4465
 
4466

        debug_debuginfo
4475
 
4476
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4477
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4478
    Theses are:
4479
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4480
        SOLARIS_AMD
4481
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4482
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4483
 
4484
Minor changes:
4485
  * AT3232 toolset
4486
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

Major changes:
4496
 
4497
Minor changes:
4498
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4499
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4500
    messages
4501
 
4502
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4503
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4504
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4505
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4506
 
4507
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4508
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
4509
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4510
Major changes:
4511
 
4512
Minor changes:
4513
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4514
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4515
    library without creating the body of the library:
4516
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4517
 
4518
 
4519
  * MOS toolsets
4520
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4521
    library without creating the body of the library:
4522
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4523
 
4524
  * JATS BIN directories
4525
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4526
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4527
    using autoconf.
4528
 
4529
  * Generate directive
4530
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4531
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4532
 
4533
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4534
 
4535
 
4536
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4537
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4538
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4539
Major changes:
4540
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4541
    Initial release.
4542
 
4543
Minor changes:
4544

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4547
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4548
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4549
Major changes:
4550
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4551
    Initial release.
4552
 
4553
  * Packaging directives
4554
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4555
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4556
 
4557
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4558
        SOLARIS
4559
        WIN32
4560
 
4561
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4562
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4563
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4564
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4565
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4566
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4567
 
4568
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4569
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4570
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4571
 
4572
 
4573
Minor changes:
4574
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4575
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4576
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4577
 
4578
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4579
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4580
    location
4581
 
4582
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4583
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4584
 
4585
  * Utility genrc
4586
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4587
 
4588
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4589
    Added option: -new
4590
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4591
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4592
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4593
 
4594
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4595
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4596
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4597
 
4598
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4599
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4600
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4601
 
4602
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4603
   features - in a uniform manner.
4604
 
4605
 
4606
Internal Changes:
4607
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4608
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4609
 
4610
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4611
        1) Platform information available at build time
4612
        2) Dynamic platform names
4613
 
4614
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4615
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4616
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4617
 
4618
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4619
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4620
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4621
 
4622
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4623
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4624
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4625
    needed.
4626
 
4627
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4628
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4629
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4630
    files from all of these.
4631
 
4632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4633
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

4635
Major changes:
4636
 
4637
Minor changes:
4638
  * WinCE toolset
4639
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4640
 
4641
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4642
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4643
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4644
Major changes:
4645
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4646
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4647
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4648
 
4649
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4650
 
4651
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4652
    the operations.
4653
 
4654
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4655
 
4656
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4657
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4658
 
4659
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4660
 
4661
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4662
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4663
 
4664
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4665
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4666
    Extended the built-in help
4667
    Added useful error messages
4668
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4669
 
4670
  * WinCE toolset
4671
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4672
 
4673
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4674
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4675
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4676
 
4677
Minor changes:
4678
  * JATS wrapper script
4679
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4680
    the command line.
4681
 
4682
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4683
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4684
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4685
 
4686
Internal Changes:
4687
  * Common Error Reporting
4688
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4689
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4690
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4691
    level.
4692
 
4693
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4694
    displayed.
4695
 
4696
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4697
 
4698
  * Added JatsSystem module
4699
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4700

4708
    .def files to include other files.
4709
 
4710
  * IAR toolset
4711
    Added AT7272 support
4712
 
4713
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4714
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4715

4723
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4724
    use.
4725
 
4726
 
4727
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4728

4730
Major changes:
4731
 
4732
Minor changes:
4733
  * Mictotec toolset
4734
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4735
    builds.
4736
 
4737
  * JATS Core
4738
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4739
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4740
    behaviour.
4741
 
4742
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4743
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4744
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4745
Major changes:
4746
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4747
    Deployment package will be affected.
4748
 
4749
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4750
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4751
 
4752
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4753
 
4754
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4755
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4756
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4757
    packages.
4758
 
4759
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4760
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4761
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4762
 
4763
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4764
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4765
 
4766
Minor changes:
4767
  * SubDir directive
4768
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4769
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4770
 
4771
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4772
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4773
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4774
    of the file usage.
4775
 
4776
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4777
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4778
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4779
 
4780
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4781
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4782
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4783
 
4784
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4785
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4786
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4787
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4788
 
4789
 
4790
Internal Changes:
4791
  * Code refactor
4792
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4793
 
4794
  * Deployment utilities
4795
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4796
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4797
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4798
    the module can locate the file.
4799
 
4800
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4801
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4802
 
4803
  * JATS core
4804
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4805
 
4806
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4807
 
4808
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4809
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4810
    through the use of environment variables.
4811
 
4812
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4813
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4814
 
4815
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4816
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4817
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4818
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4819
 
4820
  * Make environment
4821
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4822
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4823
 
4824

4826
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4827
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4828
Major changes:
4829
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4830
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4831
 
4832
 
4833
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4834
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4836
 
4837
Not Released.
4838
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4839
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4840
 
4841
 
4842
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4843
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4844
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4845
Major changes:
4846
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4847
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4848
    radically replaced.
4849
 
4850
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4851
    Usage:
4852
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4853
 
4854
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4855
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4856
    this solution:
4857
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4858
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4859
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4860
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4861
 
4862
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4863
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4864
    order to work.
4865
 
4866
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4867
    reduced functionality.
4868
 
4869
 
4870
Minor changes:
4871
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4872
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4873
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4874
 
4875
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4876
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4877
    within the makefiles.
4878
        Options:
4879
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4880
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4881
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4882
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4883
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4884
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4885
        Useage:
4886
 
4887
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4888
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4889
 
4890
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4891
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4892
    is not in the current directory.
4893
 
4894
  * Jats Command: ant'
4895
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4896
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4897
 
4898
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4899
 
4900
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4901
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4902
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4903
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4904
 
4905
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4906
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4907
    Thus
4908
 
4909
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4910
 
4911
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4912
 
4913
 
4914
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4915
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4916
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4917
Major changes:
4918
 
4919
Minor changes:
4920
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4921
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4922
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4923
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4924
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4925
 
4926
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4927
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4928
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4929
 
4930
Internal changes:
4931
  * JATS toolsets
4932
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4933
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4934
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4935
 
4936
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4937
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4938
 
4939
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4940
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4941
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4942
Major changes:
4943
  * Jats command: etool
4944
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4945
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4946
 
4947
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4948
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4949
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4950
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4951
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4952
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4953
 
4954
Minor changes:
4955
 
4956
 
4957
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4958
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4960
Major changes:
4961
  * JATS environment variables
4962
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4963
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4964
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4965
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4966
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4967
 
4968
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4969
              Remote repository
4970
 
4971
    Added GBE_DPLY
4972
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4973
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4974
 
4975
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4976
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4977
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4978
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4979
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4980
 
4981
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4982
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4983
 
4984
 
4985
Minor changes:
4986
  * JATS utility: build
4987
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4988
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4989
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4990
 
4991
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4992
    Ensure label is not locked
4993
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4994
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4995
 
4996
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4997
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4998
    to a specific type of build.
4999
 
5000
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5001
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5002
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5003
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5004
 
5005
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5006
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5007
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5008
 
5009
  * JATS utility: release
5010
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5011
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5012
 
5013
  * JATS utility: label
5014
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5015
    when it is being created.
5016
 
5017
Internal Changes
5018
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5019
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5020
 
5021
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5022
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5023
 
5024
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5025
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5026
    different results.
5027
 
5028
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5029
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5030
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5031
 
5032
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5033
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5035
Major changes:
5036
 
5037
  * MCR toolset
5038
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5039
 
5040
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5041
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5042
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5043
Major changes:
5044
  * WIN32 utilities
5045
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5046
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5047
 
5048
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5049
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5050
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5051
 
5052
Minor changes:
5053
  * BuildVersion
5054
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5055
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5056
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5057
 
5058
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5059
 
5060
  * Unix Builds
5061
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5062
    library or a shared library.
5063
 
5064
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5065
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5066
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5067
    start with 'lib'.
5068
 
5069
  * BuildPkgArchive
5070
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5071
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5072
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5073
 
5074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5075
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5076
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5077
Major changes:
5078
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5079
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5080
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5081
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5082
    being manually maintained.
5083
 
5084
 
5085
Minor changes:
5086
  * MakeAnt directive
5087
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5088
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5089
    supports ANT builds.
5090
 
5091
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5092
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5093
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5094
 
5095
  * Label utility
5096
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5097
    files to be labeled.
5098
 
5099
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5100
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5101
    on Solaris.
5102
 
5103
  * Generated makefiles
5104
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5105
    nothing.
5106
 
5107
  * MOS Toolset
5108
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5109
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5110
    modules.
5111
 
5112
  * Utility: gen_cots
5113
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5114
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5115
 
5116
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5117
 
5118
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5119
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5120
 
5121
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5122
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5123
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5124
Major changes:
5125
  None
5126
 
5127
Minor changes:
5128
  * DEVI addressed
5129
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5130
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5131
 
5132
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5133
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5134
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5135
 
5136
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5137
 
5138
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5139
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5140
 
5141
  * RunTest directive
5142
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5143
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5144
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5145
 
5146
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5147
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5148
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5149
    packaged under JATS
5150
 
5151
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5152
          supported within JATS.
5153
 
5154
  * Jats utility wrapper
5155
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5156
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5157
 
5158
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5159
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5160
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5161
 
5162
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5163
    Eg: jats ant
5164
 
5165
  * Jats utility wrapper
5166
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5167
 
5168
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5169
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5170
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5171
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5172
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5173
 
5174
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5175
    expect a build.pl file.
5176
 
5177
  * Jats utility wrapper
5178
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5179
 
5180
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5181
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5182
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5183
 
5184
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5185
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5186
 
5187
  * Build files
5188
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5189
    ERG extensions.
5190

5192
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5193
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5194
Major changes:
5195
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5196
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5197
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5198
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5199
 
5200
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5201
 
5202
Minor changes:
5203
  * None
5204
 
5205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5206
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5208
Major changes:
5209
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5210
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5211
    ie:
5212
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5213
 
5214
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5215
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5216
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5217
    environments are compatible.
5218
 
5219
 
5220
Minor changes:
5221
  * BuildName option
5222
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5223
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5224
 
5225
  * jats.bat
5226
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5227
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5228
 
5229
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5230
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5231
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5232
Major changes:
5233
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5234
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5235
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5236
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5237
 
5238
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5239
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5240
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5241
 
5242
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5243
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5244
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5245
 
5246
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5247
    transferred.
5248
 
5249
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5250
    See notes below.
5251
 
5252
  * WIN32 toolset
5253
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5254
    correctly.
5255
 
5256
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5257
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5258
 
5259
  * BuildVersion
5260
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5261
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5262
    other langauges as needed.
5263
 
5264
 
5265
Minor changes:
5266
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5267
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5268
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5269
    version strings.
5270
 
5271
  * GenerateFiles directive
5272
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5273
    package or an imported package.
5274
 
5275
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5276
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5277
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5278
 
5279
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5280
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5281
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5282
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5283
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5284
 
5285
Internal Changes
5286
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5287
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5288
    of utilities.
5289
 
5290
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5291
    functions.
5292
 
5293
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5294
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5295
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5296
Major changes:
5297
  * Generated makefiles
5298
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5299
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5300
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5301
 
5302
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5303
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5304
    incorrectly processing:
5305
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5306
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5307
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5308
    confused.
5309
 
5310
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5311
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5312
    The construct
5313
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5314
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5315
    then it works.
5316
 
5317
  * MakeAnt directive
5318
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5319
 
5320
    This option has the following effects
5321
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5322
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5323
 
5324
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5325
           early - in the generated files phase.
5326
 
5327
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5328
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5329
 
5330
 
5331
Minor changes:
5332
  * JATS post-installation script
5333
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5334
 
5335
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5336
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5337
    windows.
5338
 
5339
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5340
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5341
 
5342
  * Jats wrapper script
5343
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5344
        1) Contain spaces
5345
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5346
 
5347
  * Toolset
5348
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5349
 
5350
  * JAVA toolset
5351
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5352
    directive:
5353
 
5354
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5355
 
5356
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5357
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5358
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5359
 
5360
  * GCC Toolset
5361
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5362
 
5363
  * Makefile generation
5364
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5365
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5366
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5367
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5368
    package could not be used.
5369
 
5370
  * Unit Tests
5371
    The following environment variables are set:
5372
 
5373
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5374
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5375
 
5376
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5377
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5378
 
5379
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5380
 
5381
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5382
 
5383
 
5384
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5385
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5386
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5387
Major changes:
5388
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5389
 
5390
    Special features of this toolset.
5391
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5392
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5393
       incorporated within the target image.
5394
 
5395
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5396
       --Set=Name=Value
5397
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5398
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5399
 
5400
       --Ref=name
5401
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5402
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5403
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5404
                will be taken from the build version number.
5405
 
5406
Minor changes:
5407
  * MOS Toolset
5408
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5409
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5410
    packaged.
5411
 
5412
  * Src directive
5413
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5414
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5415
    specifier.
5416
 
5417
  * WIN32 runtime support
5418
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5419
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5420
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5421
 
5422
Internal:
5423
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5424
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5425
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5426
 
5427
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5428
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5429
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5430
Major changes:
5431
    * BuildAlias directive
5432
      Added options.
5433
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5434
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5435
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5436
                          targets.
5437
      Eg:
5438
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5439
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5440
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5441
 
5442
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5443
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5444
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5445
 
5446
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5447
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5448
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5449
 
5450
 
5451
Minor changes:
5452
  * Label utility
5453
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5454
    build.pl file
5455
 
5456
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5457
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5458
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5459
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5460
    --FilterIn option.
5461
 
5462
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5463
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5464
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5465
 
5466
  * Location of descpkg file
5467
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5468
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5469
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5470
 
5471
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5472
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5473
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5474
Major changes:
5475
  * RunTest directive
5476
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5477
    Additional options
5478
      --CopyIn=file
5479
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5480
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5481
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5482
        the test area.
5483
 
5484
    Additional operations
5485
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5486
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5487
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5488
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5489
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5490
    Allows flags:
5491
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5492
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5493
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5494
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5495
 
5496
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5497
    existence is tested.
5498
 
5499
  * Packaging Directives
5500
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5501
    such as LMOS.
5502
 
5503
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5504
 
5505
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5506
 
5507
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5508
 
5509
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5510
 
5511
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5512
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5513
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5514
 
5515
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5516
 
5517
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5518
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5519
 
5520
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5521
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5522
 
5523
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5524
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5525
 
5526
Minor changes:
5527
  * Script directive
5528
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5529
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5530
 
5531
  * JATS environment
5532
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5533
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5534
    the JATS wrapper script.
5535
 
5536
  * Label utility
5537
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5538
    There are three modes of operation:
5539
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5540
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5541
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5542
 
5543
 
5544
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5545
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5546
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5547
Major changes:
5548
 
5549
Minor changes:
5550
  * label utility
5551
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5552
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5553
 
5554
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5555
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5556
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5557
      --ProgLoader=name
5558
 
5559
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5560
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5561
    Options to do this are:
5562
        --TreeDir=name
5563
        --FilterOut=regexp
5564
        --FilterIn=regexp
5565
        --StripDir
5566
 
5567
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5568
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5569
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5570
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5571
 
5572
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5573
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5574
 
5575
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5576
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5577
 
5578
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5579
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.

5583
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5584
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5585
Major changes:
5586
    * Make commands
5587
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5588
 
5589
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5590
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5591
 
5592
    * Label utility
5593
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5594
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5595
 
5596
Minor changes:
5597
    * Toolsets
5598
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5599
      variables and overrides.
5600
 
5601
      The make_init target is always run.
5602
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5603
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5604
 
5605
    * Deployment
5606
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5607
      with deployment operations.
5608
 
5609
    * Release utility
5610
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5611
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5612
      restricted by options within the build.
5613
 
5614
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5615
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5616
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5617
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5618
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5619
 
5620
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5621
      directives.
5622
 
5623
    * MakeProject directive
5624
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5625
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5626
 
5627
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5628
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5629
      is preserved.
5630
 
5631
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5632
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5633
      statements.
5634
 
5635
    * Mugfile generation
5636
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5637
      be placed in the target package.
5638
 
5639
 
5640
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5641
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5642
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5643
Major changes:
5644
    * BuildVersion directive
5645
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5646
      number as well as a patch number.
5647
 
5648
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5649
      number.
5650
 
5651
Minor changes:
5652
    * AddFlags directives
5653
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5654
      duplicate flags being added.
5655
 
5656
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5657
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5658
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5659
 
5660
    * Mug File Generation
5661
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5662
 
5663
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5664
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5665
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5666
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5667
     directory.
5668
 
5669
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5670
     reproducible.
5671
 
5672
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5673
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5674
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5675
Major changes:
5676
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5677
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5678
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5679
      longer a list of directories.
5680
 
5681
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5682
      done within the toolset.
5683
 
5684
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5685
 
5686
    * JATS environment variables
5687
      Redefined variable
5688
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5689
                          Previously was a list that included the
5690
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5691
 
5692
      New variable
5693
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5694
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5695
 
5696
 
5697
Minor changes:
5698
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5699
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5700
      target platforms to be extracted.
5701
 
5702
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5703
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5704
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5705
 
5706
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5707
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5708
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5709
 
5710
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5711
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5712
 
5713
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5714
      Support ANT based XML files
5715
 
5716
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5717
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5718
      structure.
5719
 
5720
    * makefile.pl's
5721
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5722
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5723
 
5724
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5725
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5726
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5727
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5728
 
5729
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5730
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5731
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5732
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5733
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5734
      -- Auto.
5735
 
5736
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5737
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5738
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5739
 
5740
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5741
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5742
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5743
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5744
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5745
 
5746
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5747
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5748
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5749
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5750
      installed on the machine.
5751
 
5752
    * WINCE Targets
5753
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5754
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5755
 
5756
 
5757
 
5758
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5759
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5760
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5761
Major changes:
5762
    * WIN32 platforms
5763
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5764
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5765
      and installed packages.
5766
 
5767
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5768
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5769
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5770
 
5771
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5772
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5773
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5774
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5775
      searched when looking for libraries.
5776
 
5777
Minor changes:
5778
    * GenerateFiles directive
5779
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5780
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5781
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5782
                          and drive letter
5783
 
5784
    * Src directive
5785
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5786
      directory of a package.
5787
 
5788
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5789
 
5790
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5791
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5792
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5793
 
5794
    * jats_rewrite utility
5795
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5796
 
5797
 
5798
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5799
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5801
Major changes:
5802
    * SunWorks production builds
5803
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5804
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5805
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5806
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5807
      compiler documentation.
5808
 
5809
    * MOS Toolset
5810
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5811
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5812
 
5813
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5814
 
5815
Minor changes:
5816
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5817
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5818
      This should not affect current users.
5819
 
5820
    * Mugfile generation
5821
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5822
      specified.
5823
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5824
 
5825
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5826
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5827
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5828
Major changes:
5829
    MOS Toolset
5830
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5831
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5832
 
5833
Minor changes:
5834
    * Jats wrapper script
5835
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5836
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5837
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5838
 
5839
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5840
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5841
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5842
      may be suspect.
5843
 
5844
    * GenerateFiles directive
5845
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5846
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5847
 
5848
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5849
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5851
Major changes:
5852
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5853
      build.xml files.
5854
 
5855
Minor changes:
5856
    * WIN32 toolset.
5857
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5858
 
5859
    * MakeAnt
5860
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5861
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5862
 
5863
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5864
 
5865
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5866
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5867
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5868
 
5869
    * MakeAnt directive
5870
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5871
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5872
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5873
 
5874
      Recommended usage:
5875
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5876
 
5877
Internal Changes
5878
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5879

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5883
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5884
Major changes:
5885
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5886
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5887
      files packaged into the release.
5888
 
5889
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5893
 
5894
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5895
      The recommended platform is:
5896
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5897
 
5898
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5899
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5900
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5901
      components.
5902
 
5903
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

5907
 
5908
Minor changes:
5909
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5910
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5911
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5912
      by the package to be accessed.
5913
 
5914
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5915
      application or visual studio.
5916
 
5917
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5918
      and the JATS Core path.
5919
 
5920
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5921
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5922
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5923
 
5924
    * MOS Toolset
5925
      Add support for the TPT device
5926
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5927
 
5928
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5929
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5930
 
5931
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5932
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5933
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5934
 
5935
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5936
 
5937
Internal Changes
5938
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5939
      in jats.pl
5940
 
5941
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5942
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5943
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5944
Major changes:
5945
    * JATS wrapper script
5946
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5947
 
5948
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5949
 
5950
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5951
 
5952
Minor changes:
5953
    * Deployment support
5954
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5955
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5956
 
5957
    * 'build'
5958
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5959
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5960
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5961
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5962
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5963
 
5964
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5965
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5966
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5967
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5968
                                      the link phase.
5969
 
5970
    * BuildPkgArchive
5971
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5972
      Previously these were ignored.
5973
      Minor code cleanup
5974
 
5975
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5976
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5977
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5978
 
5979
    * SOLARIS targets
5980
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5981
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5982
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5983
 
5984
    * MugFile generation
5985
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5986
      included in the final package.
5987
 
5988
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5989
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5990
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5991
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5992
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5993
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5994
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5995
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5996
 
5997
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5998
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5999
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6000
            --Option=(some_text)
6001
            --Option=[some_text]
6002
            --Option={some_text}
6003
 
6004
Internal Changes
6005
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6006
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6007
      code.
6008
 
6009
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6010
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6011
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6012
Major changes:
6013
    * JATS wrapper script
6014
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6015
 
6016
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6017
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6018
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6019
      other components.
6020
 
6021
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6022
 
6023
    * JATS
6024
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6025
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6026
 
6027
    * Build operations
6028
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6029
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6030
      packages.
6031
 
6032
    * Make operations
6033
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6034
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6035
 
6036
Minor changes:
6037
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6038
      deployment builds.
6039
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6040
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6041
 
6042
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6043
 
6044
    * build.pl
6045
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6046
        processed. Allows
6047
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6048
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6049
        production.
6050
 
6051
    * MOS toolset
6052
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6053
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6054
 
6055
    * create_dpkg utility
6056
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6057
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6058
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6059
      progress of the build.
6060
 
6061
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6062
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6063
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6064
      system.
6065
 
6066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6067
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6069
Major changes:
6070
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6071
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6072
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6073
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6074
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6075
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6076
 
6077
    * WCEX86A500 target
6078
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6079
 
6080
    * MOS Toolsets
6081
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6082
      the compiler.
6083
 
6084
    * RunTest directive
6085
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6086
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6087
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6088
 
6089
Minor changes:
6090
    * JATS BUILD
6091
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6092
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6093
      highlight bad settings.
6094
 
6095
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6096
      access to extensions.
6097
 
6098
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6099
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6101
Major changes:
6102
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6103
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6104
 
6105
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6106
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6107
      under unix.
6108
 
6109
Minor changes:
6110
    * label utility
6111
      Added options to:
6112
        o Delete a label
6113
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6114
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6115
 
6116
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6117
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6118
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6119
      Package directives.
6120
 
6121
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6122
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6123
      system.
6124
 
6125
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6126
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6127
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6128
Major changes:
6129
    * MOS Toolset
6130
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6131
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6132
 
6133
    * WIN32 Toolset
6134
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6135
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6136
      list.
6137
 
6138
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6139
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6140
 
6141
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6142
 
6143
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6144
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6145
 
6146
 
6147
Minor changes:
6148
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6149
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6150
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6151
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6152
      corrected.
6153
 
6154
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6155
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6156
 
6157
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6158
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6159
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6160
 
6161
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6162
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6163
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6164
Major changes:
6165
    * WIN32 Toolset
6166
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6167
      use with multithreaded modes.
6168
 
6169
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6170
      --OnlyProd.
6171
 
6172
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6173
      within the makefile.pl.
6174
 
6175
Minor changes:
6176
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6177
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6178
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6179
      platforms.
6180
 
6181
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6182
 
6183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6184
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6185
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6186
Major changes:
6187
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6188
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6189
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6190
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6191
 
6192
    * Preliminary Support
6193
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6194
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6195
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6196
 
6197
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6198
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6199
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6200
 
6201
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6202
      building. The default build will build both.
6203
 
6204
Minor changes:
6205
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6206
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6207
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6208
 
6209
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6210
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6211
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6212
 
6213
 
6214
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6215
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6216
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6217
Major changes:
6218
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6219
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6220
      or all.
6221
 
6222
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6223
      the library or program.
6224
 
6225
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6226
 
6227
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6228
      library or any debug files.
6229
 
6230
    * GenerateFiles
6231
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6232
 
6233
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6234
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6235
 
6236
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6237
              The filename of the prereq file
6238
 
6239
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6240
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6241
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6242
 
6243
 
6244
Minor changes:
6245
    * create_dpkg utility
6246
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6247
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6248
      the package has been altered.
6249

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6253
Major changes:
6254
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6255
      This is a WINCE target
6256
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6257
 
6258
    * New toolset
6259
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6260
 
6261
    * Modified toolset
6262
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6263
 
6264
    * Modified toolset
6265
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6266
 
6267
Minor changes:
6268
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6269
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6270
 
6271
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6272
 
6273
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6274
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6275
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6276
 
6277
      The change allows the construct
6278
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6279
      to be replaced by the simpler
6280
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6281
 
6282
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6283
      specified name.    
6284

6303
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6304
Major changes:
6305
    * The "package.pl" file.
6306
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6307
      package name being taken from the build name
6308
 
6309
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6310
      package Build Name.
6311
 
6312
Minor changes:
6313
    * create_dpkg utility
6314
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
6315
 
6316

Minor changes:
6322
    * Dependancy generator
6323
      Correct two common situations
6324
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6325
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6326
           ansi, but is often done.
6327
 
6328
    * GCC toolset
6329
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6330
      being created in the correct place.
6331
 
6332
    * jats "label"
6333
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6334
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6335
 
6336
 
6337
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6339
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6340
Major changes:
6341
 
6342
Minor changes:
6343
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6344
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6345
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6346
 
6347
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6348
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6349
 
6350
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6351
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6352
      package was not being transferred.
6353
 
6354

6357
Major changes:
6358
    * Support for solaris_i386
6359
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6360
      binaries for this target.
6361
 
6362
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6363
      with the GCC compiler.
6364
 
6365
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6366
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6367
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6368
 
6369
Minor changes:
6370
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6371
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6372
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6373
 
6374
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6375
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6376
 
6377
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6378
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6379
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6380
Major changes:
6381
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6382
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6383
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6384
 
6385
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6386
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6387
 
6388
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6389
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6390
      with either " or ' characters.
6391
 
6392
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6393
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6394
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6395
 
6396
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6397
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6398
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6399
 
6400
    * Jats wrapper
6401
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6402
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6403
      further commands.
6404
 
6405
Minor changes:
6406
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6407
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6408
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6409
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6410
 
6411
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6412
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6413
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6414
Major changes:
6415
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6416
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6417
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6418
 
6419
      These options operation affect all components within the
6420
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6421
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6422
 
6423
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6424
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6425
 
6426
Minor changes:
6427
 
6428
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6429
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6430
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6431
Major changes:
6432
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6433
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6434
 
6435
Minor changes:
6436
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6437
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6438
 
6439
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6440
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6441
 
6442
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6443
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6444
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6445
Major changes:
6446
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6447
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6448
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6449
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6450
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6451
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6452
      installed.
6453
 
6454
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6455
      libraries that depend on each other.
6456
 
6457
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6458
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6459
 
6460
Minor changes:
6461
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6462
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6463
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6464
 
6465
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6466
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6467
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6468
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6469
 
6470
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6471
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6472
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6473
Major changes:
6474
 
6475
Minor changes:
6476
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6477
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6478
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6479
      file.
6480
 
6481
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6482
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6483
 
6484
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6485
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6486
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6487
 
6488
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6489
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6490
 
6491
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6492
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6493
 
6494
    * WinCE toolsets
6495
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6496
      compiler specific libraries.
6497
 
6498
    * SOLARIS toolset
6499
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6500
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6501
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6502
 
6503
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6504
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6505
      cleaned up.
6506
 
6507
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6508
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6509
 
6510
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6511
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6512
      with either " or ' characters.
6513
 
6514
 
6515
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6516
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6517
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6518
Major changes:
6519
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6520
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6521
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6522
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6523
 
6524
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6525
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6526
 
6527
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6528
      user.
6529
 
6530
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6531
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6532
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6533
 
6534
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6535
      for the   -Gf option.
6536
 
6537
Minor changes:
6538
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6539
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6540
 
6541
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6542
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6543
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6544
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6545
 
6546
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6547
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6548
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6549
Major changes:
6550
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6551
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6552
 
6553
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6554
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6555
      data addresses for the board.
6556
 
6557
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6558
 
6559
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6560
 
6561
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6562
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6563
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6564
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6565
         PackageFile
6566
 
6567
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6568
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6569
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6570
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6571
 
6572
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6573
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6574
      to be installed and packaged.
6575
 
6576
Minor changes:
6577
 
6578
    * cache_dpkg utility
6579
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6580
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6581
 
6582
    * label utility
6583
      New option -auto to create and label
6584
 
6585
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6586
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6587
 
6588
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6589
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6590
      directory. ie:
6591
 
6592
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6593
 
6594
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6595
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6596
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6597
 
6598
 
6599
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6600
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6601
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6602
Major changes:
6603
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6604
 
6605
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6606
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6607
 
6608
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6609
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6610
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6611
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6612
 
6613
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6614
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6615
      compilation.
6616
 
6617
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6618
 
6619
Minor changes:
6620
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6621
      one is being produced.
6622
 
6623
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6624
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6625
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6626
 
6627
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6628
 
6629
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6630
 
6631
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6632
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6633
 
6634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6635
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6637
Major changes:
6638
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6639
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6640
 
6641
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6642
 
6643
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6644
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6645
      same directory
6646
 
6647
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6648
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6649
      documenattion.
6650
 
6651
Minor changes:
6652
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6653
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6654
 
6655
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6656
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6657
 
6658
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6659
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6660
 
6661
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6662
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6663
 
6664
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6665
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6666
      be exempt from this test.
6667
 
6668
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6669
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6670
 
6671
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6672
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6673
 
6674
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6675
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6676
      does.
6677
 
6678
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6679
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6680
 
6681
 
6682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6683
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6684
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6685
Major changes:
6686
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6687
 
6688
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6689
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6690
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6691
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6692
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6693
 
6694
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6695
      operations.
6696
 
6697
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6698
 
6699
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6700
 
6701
Minor changes
6702
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6703
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6704
 
6705
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6706
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6707
      directory is not added to the library path.
6708
 
6709
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6710
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6711
 
6712
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6713
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6714
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6715
 
6716
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6717
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6718
      specific flags.
6719
 
6720
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6721
 
6722
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6723
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6724
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6725
 
6726
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6727
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6728
      JATS.
6729
 
6730
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6731
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6732
 
6733
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6734
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6735
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6736
 
6737
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6738
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6739
 
6740
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6741
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6742
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6743
 
6744
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6745
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6746
 
6747
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6748
 
6749
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6750
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6751
 
6752
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6753
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6754
      objects.
6755
 
6756
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6757
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6758
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6759
      build defendants.
