220
Minor changes:
221
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
222
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
223
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
224
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
225
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
226
 
227
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
228
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.
229

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3987 dpurdie 231
Version:  3.2.1000.cr                               Released: 16-Aug-2013

237
      Added options:
238
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
239
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
240
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
241
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
242
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
243
      Report filter elements that are not used.
244
 
245
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
246
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
247
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
248

3967 dpurdie 253
Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
254
------------------------------------------------------------------------
255
Major changes:
256
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
257
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
258
      intended to build deployed software.
259
 
260
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
261
      the DEVLINUX alias.
262
 
263
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
264
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
265
 
266
Minor changes:
267
    * Jats wrapper script
268
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
269
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
270
      Subversion instance of the command.
271
 
272
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
273
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
274
 
275
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
276
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
277
 
278

      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
280
      file under windows.
281
 
282
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
283
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
284
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
285
 
286
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
287
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
288
 
289
    * GCC Toolchain
290
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.
291

297
                            fail to daemon build
298
      Create shorter viewnames when extracting Subversion workspace

------------------------------------------------------------------------
306
Major changes:
307
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
308
      Support for Intellect PAX.
309
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
310
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
311
 
312
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
313
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.
314

321
      family
3559 dpurdie 322
 
323
Minor changes:
324
    * Utility: jats sandbox
325
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
326
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
327
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
328
      line.
329
 
330
    * Jats Configuration
331
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
332
 
333
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
334
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
335
      and Linux.
336
 
337
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
338
      correctly rippled.
339

343
Major changes:
344
 
345
Minor changes:
346
    * Jats Core
347
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
348
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
349
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
350
 
351
    * Utility: svnsave_build
352
      Used only by the build daemons.
353
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
354
 
355
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
356
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
357
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
358
 
359

Version:  3.1.5000.cr                               Released: 13-Feb-13 
361
------------------------------------------------------------------------
362
Major changes:
363
 
364
Minor changes:
365
    * svnrelease utility
366
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
367
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
368
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
369
 
370
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
371
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
372
      the named tag.
373
 
374
    * svnrelease utility
375
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
376
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

408
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
409
      directory of the tag.
410
 
411
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
412
      repository.
413
 
414
    * Subversion Support
415
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
416
      showing the user what to do.
417
 
418
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
419
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
420
      we have build support for this target.
421
 
422
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
423
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
424
 
425
Internal:
426
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage

442
------------------------------------------------------------------------
443
Major changes:
444
 
445
Minor changes:
446
    * Makefile generation
447
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
448
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
449
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
450
      of warnings.
451
 
452
    * Makefile Generation
453
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
454

2429 dpurdie 461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
462
Major changes:
463
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
464
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
465
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
466
      these operations with a dedicated program.
467
 
468
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
469
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
470
      windows path scheme.
471
 
472
Minor changes:
473
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
474
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
475
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
476
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
477
 
478
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
479
        jats make clobber
480
      This operates as before.
481
 
482
    * Utility: escrow
483
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
484
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
485
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
486
 
487
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
488
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
489
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
490
 
491
    * Utility: svn : url
492
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
493
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
494
 
495
    * Utility: svn : import
496
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
497
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
498
 
499
    * Subversion Support
500
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
501
      showing the user what to do.
502
 
503
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
504
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
505
      repositories.
506

------------------------------------------------------------------------
510
 
511
Minor changes:
512
    * Jats build
513
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
514
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
515
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
516
 
517
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 518
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 519
 
520
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages

525
 
526
Minor changes:
527
    * Utility: svn
528
      Added two subcommands
529
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
530
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
531
                 Can also display available branches.
532
 
2054 dpurdie 533
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
534

        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
538
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
539
 
540
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
541
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
542
      Modified two options:
543
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
544
                        The named branch must not exist
545
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
546
                        The named branch must exist
547
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

581
 
582
Major changes:
583
    * Jats Version Number
584
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
585
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
586
      significantly.
587
 
588
Minor changes:

598
Major changes:
599
    * Subversion support
600
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
601
      SubVersion. Changes include:
602
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
603
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
604
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
605
 
606
Minor changes:
607
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
608
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
609
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
610
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
611
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
612
 
613
    * Utility: svnsave_build
614
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
615
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
616
 
617
    * Linux support utilities
618
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
619
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
620

624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
625
Major changes:
626
    * Subversion Repository location
627
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
628
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
629
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
630
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
631
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
632
 
633
Minor changes:
634
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
635
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
636
 
637
    * Utility: svnrelease
638
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
639
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
640
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
641
 
642
    * Utility: svnsave_build
643
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
644
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
645
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
646
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
647
 
648
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
649
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
650
 
651
    * Utility: sandbox
652
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
653
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
654
 
655
      Subcommand: populate
656
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
657
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
658
      sandbox.
659
 
660
    * Subversion Support
661
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
662
      repository is not supported.
663
 
664
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
665
      a progress indication.
666
 
667
    * Jats Online Documentation
668
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
669
      online documentation.
670
 
671
    * Generated makefiles
672
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

Major changes:
750
 
751
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
752
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
753
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
754
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
755
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
756

772
 
773
    * Utility ccrelease
774
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
775
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
776
 
777
    * Utility: svn

      Updated Company Name, Copyright and Trademark strings to 'Vix IP Pty Ltd'
800
 
801
    * GCC Toolset

806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
807
Major changes:
808
 
809
Minor changes:
810
    * Command: jats clobber
811
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
812
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
813
 
814
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
815
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
816
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
817
 
818
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
819
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
820
 
377 dpurdie 821
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
822
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
823
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 824
 
825
    * jats svnlabel
826
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
827
 
828
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
829
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
830
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
831
 
832
    * Built Daemon support
833
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
834
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
835

373 dpurdie 837
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
838
------------------------------------------------------------------------
839
Major changes:
840
    * GCC Toolset
841
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
842
      New methodology is:
843
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
844
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
845
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
846
        as the main binary.
847
 
848
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
849
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
850
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
851
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
852
      both worlds.
853
 
854
Minor changes:
855
    * HTML Documentation
856
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.

Major changes:
867
    * Jats Sandbox
868
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
869
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
870
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
871
 
872
    * RIORDS Platform
873
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

968
      the clearcase label.
969
 
970
    * Subversion support

978
Major changes:
979
    * New toolset: ARM251
980
 
981
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
982
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
983
 
984
Minor changes:
985
    * HTML Help
986
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
987
 
988
    * jats build -noforce
989
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
990
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
991
      be forced.
992
 
993
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
994
 
995
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
996
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
997
 
998
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
999
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1000
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1001
 
1002
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1003
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1004
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1005
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1006
 
1007
    * Utility: svnrelease
1008
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1009
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1010
 
1011
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1012
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1013
 
1014
    * Utility: svn
1015
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1016
      installed and can be used.
1017
 
1018
    * Toolset: CSharp
1019
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1020
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1021
      character.
1022
 
1023
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1024
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1025
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1026
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1027
      masking an error.
1028
 
1029
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1030
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1031
      enhancement.

1037
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1038
        - Return correct path to package
1039
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1040
 
1041
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1042
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1043
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1044
 
1045
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1046
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1047
      packages.
1048
 
1049
    * make command: show
1050
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1051
      'jats make show' command.
1052
 
1053
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1054
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1055
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1056
 
1057
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1058
      executed on Unix machines.

1095
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
1096
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
1097
 
1098
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
1099
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing

1127
      package version.
1128
 
1129
      Command specific help
1130

1279
    * BuildPlatform
1280
      New option: --NoToolSet
1281
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
1282
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
1283
 
1284
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
1285
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
1286
      need toolset specific information.
1287
 
1288
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
1289
 
1290
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

      resulting in multiple builds.
1402
 
1403
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
1404
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
1405
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.

    * Jats label command
1420
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1421
      Not recommended for general use.
1422
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1423
      directories within the current view.
1424
 
1425
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1426
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1427
      elsewhere.
1428
 
1429
    * Jats save_build
1430
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1431
      the determination of a branch.
1432
 
1433
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1434
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1435
 
1436
    * Jats build
1437
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1438
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1439
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1440
 
1441
    * Borland6 toolset
1442
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1443
      to match the documented install location of:
1444
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1445
 
1446
    * Jats build
1447
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1448
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1449
      This is a very quick operation.
1450
 
1451
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1452
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1453
 
1454
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1455
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1456
      files are only recreated if need be.
1457
 
1458
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1459
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1460
      make the package.
1461
 
1462
    * Jats sandbox
1463
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1464
 
1465
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1466
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1467
 
1468
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1469
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1470
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1471
      is performed.
1472
 
1473

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1511
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1512
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1513
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1514
 
1515
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1516
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1517
 
1518
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1519
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1520
      platform builds.

1540
Major changes:
1541
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1542
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1543
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1544
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1545
 
1546
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1547
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1548
 
1549
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1550
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1551
 
1552
      Examples:
1553
            jats upddep -show
1554
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1555
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1556
 
1557
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1558
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1559
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1560
 
1561
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1562
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.

      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1578
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1579
      stream.
1580
 
1581
      Example:
1582
 
1583
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1584
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )

1588
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1589
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1590
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1591
      directive.
1592
 
1593
    * GCC Toolkit
1594
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1595
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1596
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1597
      the point of termination.
1598
 
1599
    * Jats save_build utility
1600
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1601
      under windows.
1602
 
1603
    * Jats sandbox
1604
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1605
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1606
      in different sandboxes.
1607
 
1608
    * Jats release
1609
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1614
Major changes:
1615
 
1616
Minor changes:
1617
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1618
      Added -locatedir=name
1619
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1620
      directory.
1621
 
1622
    * jats label utility
1623
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1624
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1625
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1626
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1627
 
1628
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1629

315 dpurdie 1632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1633
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 1634
 
1635
Minor changes:
1636
    * WinCe Toolsets
1637
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1638
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1639
        noExceptions            - Disable
1640
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1641
      Example:
1642
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1643
 
1644
    * Solaris targets
1645
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1646
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1647
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1648
      machine type.
1649
 
1650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1651
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1652
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1653
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1654
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1655
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1656
      project files.
1657
 
1658
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1659
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1660
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1661
 
1662
Minor changes:
1663
    * Added more internal documentation
1664
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1665
 
1666
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1667
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1668
 
1669
    * Jats save_build utility
1670
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1671
      under windows.
1672
 
1673
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1674
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1675
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1676
      libraries.
1677
 
1678
    * Solaris builds
1679
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1680
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1681
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1682
      of the build failure.
1683
 
1684
 
1685
Internal changes:
1686
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1687
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1688
 
1689
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1690
      PkgArchive topics.

1694
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1695
Major changes:
1696
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1697
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1698
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1699
      existing 32-bit builds.
1700
 
1701
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1702
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1703
 
1704
Minor changes:
1705
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1706
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1707
 
1708
    * Package searching
1709
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1710
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1711
 
1712
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1713
 
1714
    * jats help
1715
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1716
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1717
 
1718
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1719
      with one of:
1720
        jats -h
1721
        jats help jats
1722
 
1723
Internal:
1724
    * cmdfile utility
1725
      Added macros:
1726
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1727
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1728
 
1729
      Corrected
1730
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1731
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1732
 
1733
      Extended
1734
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1735
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1736
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1737
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Minor changes:
1745
 
1746
Internal changes
1747
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1748
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1749
      Useful side effects include:
1750
 
1751
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1752
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1753
 
1754
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1755
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1756
 
1757
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1758
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1759
        BuildPkgArchive
1760
 
313 dpurdie 1761
    * Perl Modules
1762
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1763
      release. This will:
1764
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1765
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1766
          reported by ERG.
1767
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Major changes:
1773
 
1774
Minor changes:
1775
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1776
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1777
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1778
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1779
 
1780
    * Jats label utility
1781
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1782
 
1783
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1784
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1785
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1786
 
1787
    * Jats core
1788
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1789
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1790
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1799
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1800
      This is now fixed.
1801
 
309 dpurdie 1802
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1803
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1804
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1805
 
1806
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1807
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
1808

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1815
    * Generating makefiles
1816
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1817
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1818
      an error.
1819
 
1820
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1821
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1822
 
1823
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1824
      Highly specialized directive.

1831
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1832
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1833
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1834
 
1835
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1836
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1837
 
1838
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1839
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1840
      Support includes
1841
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1842
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1843
 
1844
Minor changes:
1845
    * Build file processing
1846
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1847
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1848
 
1849
    * MOS builds
1850
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1851
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1852
 
1853
    * MOS builds
1854
      New 'known' product: PICP
1855
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1856
 
1857
    * GenerateFiles directive
1858
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1859
        under windows.
1860
 
1861
        .
1862
 
1863
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1864
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1865
 
1866
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1867
      to the output stream.
1868
 
1869
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1870
 
1871
    * Windows Shell
1872
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1873
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1874
 
1875
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1876
 
1877
    * H8S toolset
1878
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1879
 
1880
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1881
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1882
 
1883
Internal changes
1884
    * WinCe builds
1885
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1886
      content of the file.
1887
 
1888
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1889
 
1890
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1891
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1903
Major changes:
1904
 
1905
Minor changes:
1906
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1907
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1908
      Changes are transparent to users.
1909
 
1910
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1911
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1912
      this occurs.
1913
 
1914
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1915
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1916
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1917
      automated build framework.
1918
 
1919
    * jats sandbox command
1920
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1921
      'create' command.
1922
 
1923
    * jats command aliases. Added
1924
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1925
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
1926

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1930
Major changes:
1931
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1932
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1933
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1934
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1935
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1936
      will work as expected
1937
 
1938
Minor changes:
1939
    * VS2008 Toolset
1940
      Picking up incorrect config details
1941
      May result in a warning message.
1942
 
1943
    * gen_cots utility
1944
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1945
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1946
 
1947
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1948
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996
Major changes:
1997
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1998
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1999
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2000
 
2001
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2002
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2003
 
2004
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2005
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2006
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2007
           names cannot be changed.
2008
 
2009
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2010
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2011
 
2012
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2013
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2014
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2015
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2016
 
2017
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2018
      file.
2019
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2020
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2021
      MyPackage.dpk.
2022
 
2023
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2024
      file.
2025
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2026
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2027
      MyDll.dpr.
2028
 
2029
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2030
      file.
2031
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2032
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2033
      MyProg.dpr.
2034
 
2035
Minor changes:
2036
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2037
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2038
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2039
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2040
 
2041
    * BuildVersion directive
2042
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2043
      in a Delphi Unit.
2044
 
2045
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2046
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2047
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2048
      'know' the location of the files.
2049
 
2050
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2051
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2052
 
2053
Internal Changes:
2054
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2055
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2056
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2057
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2058
 
2059
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2060
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2061
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

2065
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2066
Major changes:
2067
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2068
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2069
      information for purely C++ builds.
2070
 
289 dpurdie 2071
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2072
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2073
 
289 dpurdie 2074
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2075
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2076
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2077
 
2078
Minor changes:
2079
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

2081
 
2082
    * updatenodespec utility
2083
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2084

    * New command: jats make show
2122
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2123
      used in the build.
2124
 
2125
    * Escrow command
2126
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2127
 
2128
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2129
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2130
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2131
 
2132
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2133
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2134
 
2135

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2138
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2139
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2140
 
279 dpurdie 2141
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2142
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2143
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2144
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2145
 
2146
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2147
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2148
 
2149
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2150
 
2151
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2152
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2153
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2154
 
2155
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2156
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2157
        processed.
2158
 
2159
      Removed the '-delete' option
2160
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2161
 
277 dpurdie 2162
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2163
    * Sandbox command
2164
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2165
 
2166
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2167
      target from consideration in the build set.
2168
 
2169
    * MCR Toolset
2170
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2171
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2172
 
2173
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2174
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2175
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2176
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2177
 
2178
    * Jats run_test command
2179
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2180
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2181
 
2182
    * descpkg file
2183
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2184
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2185
 
2186
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2187
     Now contains build trace information
2188
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2189
 
2190
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2191
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2192
     it contains 'jar' files.
2193
 
2194
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2195
 
2196
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2197
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2198
 
2199
   * BuildVersion directive
2200
     Form:
2201
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2202
     now works as expected.
2203
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2204
 
2205
Internal Changes:
2206
 
2207
    * Error reporting mechanism
2208
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2209
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2210
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

2220
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
2221
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
2222
    then starts.
2223
 
2224
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2225
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2226
 
2227
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2228
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2229
    non-platform option.
2230
 
279 dpurdie 2231
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

2245
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
2246
 
2247
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
2248
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
2249
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
2250
 
2251
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
2252
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
2253
 
2254
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
2255
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
2256
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
2257
        GBE_MAKE_CMD                - Current make target
2258
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
2259
 
2260
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
2261
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
2262
      to the invoked application.
2263
 
2264
Internal Changes:
2265
    * JatsCopy Package

2370
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2371
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
2372

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
2386
 
2387
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
2388
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]

        define_source_file              (Default)
2394
 
2395
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2396
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2397
 
2398
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
2399

2406
            --InstallProg=list
2407
 
2408
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
2409
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
2410
      GenerateCab.
2411
 
2412

2461
    * Jats GenerateFiles directive
2462
      New option '--PreDelete' will delete all generated files before

2489
 
2490
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
2491
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
2492
      programs.
2493
 
2494
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
2495

2522
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
2523
 
2524
      Suggested new usage:
2525
        jats etool jats_save_build

2545
      time.
2546
 
2547
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
2548
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

2561
 
2562
Internal Changes:
2563
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
2564
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2565
      Previously was being done at two places
2566
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2567
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
2568
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
2569
 
2570
    * JATS make: Command line
2571
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2572

2581
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
2582
        + Consistent use of option parsing
2583

2629
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2630
 
2631
Minor changes:
2632
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2633
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

2643
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2644
 
2645
      New platforms:
2646
        CSHARP2005
2647
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2648
         Support extends to allow:
2649
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2650
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2651
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2652
 
2653
        VS2005
2654
         Support extends to allow:
2655
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2656
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2657
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2658
 
2659
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2660
      through a version selector:
2661
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2662
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2663
 
2664
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2665
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2666
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2667
 
2668
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2669
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2670
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2671
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2672
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2673
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2674
          under VS2005.
2675
 
2676
Minor changes:
2677
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
2678
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
2679
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
2680
 
2681
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2682
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2683
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2684
 
2685
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2686
 
2687
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2688
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2689
 
2690
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2691
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2692
      a minimal value of perl.
2693
 
2694
      Removed excessive require statements.
2695
 
2696
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2697
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2698
      Include JATS specific files for
2699
        1) Windows
2700
        2) Linux
2701
 
2702
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2703
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2704
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2705
      machines.
2706
 
2707
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2708
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2709
 
2710
    * JATS Environment
2711
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2712
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2713
 
2714
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2715
      wrapper scripts.
2716
 
2717
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2718
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2719
      Spell check help and code.

      options are passed correctly.
2744
 
2745
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
2746
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
2747
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
2748
      was added.
2749
 
2750
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
2751
      reviewing a new package.
2752
 
2753
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2754
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
2755
      automatically included in the source file list.
2756
 
253 dpurdie 2757
    * Toolset updates
2758
      Thyron and gnu_mpt. From An Tran.

Major changes:
249 dpurdie 2764
 
2765
Minor changes:
2766
    * PackageFile directive [DEVI-048037][DEVI-047541]
2767
      Now supports the packaging of files with ( or ) in the name
2768
 
2769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2770
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
2771
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2772
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2773
  * New toolset and platform
2774
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2775
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2776
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2777
    this platform.
2778
 
2779
Minor changes:
2780
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2781
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2782
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2783
    work.
2784
 
2785
  * Jats utility: release
2786
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2787
    published to dpkg_archive.
2788
 
249 dpurdie 2789
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2790
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2791
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2792
    supported for ANT builds.
2793
 
2794
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2795
        releasemanager.releasename
2796
        releasemanager.projectname
2797
 
2798
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2799
    tagged data item of the form
2800
 
2801
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2802
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2803
 
2804
  * Mug File Generation
2805
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2806
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2807
 
2808
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2809
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2810
    required.
2811
 
2812
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2813
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2814
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2815
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2816
    the files in order to use them.
2817
 
2818
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2819
    locate the file.
2820
 
2821
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2822
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2823
 
2824
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2825
        * CSharp
2826
        * Properties
2827
        * WinRC
2828
 
2829
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2830
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2831
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2832
    Value is correctly assigned.
2833
 
2834

2835
Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
2836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2837
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2838
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2839
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2840
 
2841
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2842
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2843
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2844
 
2845
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2846
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2847
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2848
 
2849
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2850
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2851
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2852
 
2853
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2854
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2855
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2856
    correct.
2857
 
2858
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2859
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2860
 
2861
Minor changes:
2862
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2863
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2864
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2865
 
2866
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2867
    This will simplify new user setup.
2868
 
2869
  * All Unix Toolsets
2870
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2871
    on unix systems
2872
 
2873
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2874
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2875
    on some Solaris Machines.
2876
 
2877
  * JATS -version=<version>
2878
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2879
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2880

2923
 
2924
  * JATS builds
2925
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
2927
    mode.
2928
 
2929
  * JATS makefiles
2930
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2931
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2932
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2933
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2934
                            SetList directive.
2935

2944
 
2945
  * JATS buildfile processing
2946
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
2947
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
2948
    of JATS.
2949
 
2950
  * JATS save_build utility

      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
2981
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
2982
 
2983
    * MOS Toolset
2984
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
2985
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
2986

3035
      that can handle spaces
3036
 
3037
    * MOS Compiler
3038
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3039
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3040
 
3041
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3042
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded

231 dpurdie 3081
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3082
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3083
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3084
 
3085
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3086
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3087
 
3088
    * Jats wrapper
3089
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3090
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3095
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3096
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3097
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3098
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3099
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3100
 
3101
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3102
 
3103
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3104
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3105
 
3106
    * Running Jats
3107
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3108
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3109
      This may affect some windows developers.
3110
 
3111
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3112
      Future versions will generate an error.
3113
 
3114
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3115
 
3116
Minor changes:
3117
    * Perl Version Check
3118
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3119
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3120
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3121
 
3122
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3123
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3124
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3125
      build.
3126
 
3127
    * Jats Internals
3128
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3129
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3130
 
3131
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3132
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3133
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3134
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3135
      process.
3136
 
3137
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3138
      Only works under Windows.
3139
 
3140
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.

    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3143
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3144
 
3145
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3146
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3147
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3148
 
3149
    * Jats eprog
3150
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3151
      directory.
3152
 
3153
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3154
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3155
      build metrics.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3160
Major changes:
3161
 
3162
Minor changes:
3163
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3164
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3165
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3166
      automated build system. New options are:
3167
        -pname=Package_Name
3168
        -pversion=Package_Version
3169
 
3170
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3171
      transferring the package. New options are:
3172
        -test
3173
 
3174
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3175
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3176
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3177
 
3178
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3179
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3180
 
3181
    * Solaris Toolset
3182
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3183
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3184
      programs are still supported.

3189
Major changes:
3190
 
3191
Minor changes:
3192
    * WINCE toolsets
3193
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3194
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3195
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3196
      when header files cannot be found.
3197
 
3198
    * GenerateFiles directive
3199
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3200
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3201
      that are difficult to solve.
3202
 
3203
    * MakePerlModule directive
3204
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3205
      to the the module builder.
3206
 
3207
    * Jats Tool: label
3208
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3209
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3210
      -dirs=xxx options.
3211
 
3212
    * Jats Tool: release
3213
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3214
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3215
 
3216
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3217
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3218
 
3219
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3220
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3221
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3222
 
3223
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
3230
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3231
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3232
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3233
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3234
 
3235
Minor changes:
3236
    * label utility
3237
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3238
 
3239
    * make package and install operations
3240
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3241
      transfer.
3242
 
3243
    * make clean up
3244
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3245
 
3246
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3247
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3248
      minor file transformations such as:
3249
        Copy, with optional rename
3250
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3251
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3252
 
3253
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3254
 
3255
    * jats release utility
3256
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3257
      in place.
3258
 
3259
    * escrow utility
3260
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3261
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
3269
    * Makefile generation
3270
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3271
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3272
      generate phase early.

3277
Major changes:
3278
 
3279
Minor changes:
3280
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3281
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3282
 
3283
    * Makefile generation
3284
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3285
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3286
 
3287
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3288
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3289
 
3290
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3291
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3292
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3293
 
3294
    * jats_rewrite utility
3295
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3296
 
3297
    * jats escrow utility
3298
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3299
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3300
 
3301
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3302
      inconsistent packages.
3303
 
3304
    * jats make help
3305
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3306
      available within the current build.
3307
 
3308
    * jats makefiles
3309
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3310
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3311
 
3312
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3313
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3314
 
3315
    * gcc toolset
3316
      SharedLibries.
3317
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3318
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3319
 
3320
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3321
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3322
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3323
 
3324
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3325
        New options:
3326
            --MultiScan
3327
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3328
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3329
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

3335
Major changes:
3336
 
3337
Minor changes:
3338
    PackageLib directive
3339
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3340
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3341
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3342
 
3343
    MakefileGenerate directive
3344
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3345
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3346
 
3347
    Multiple Parent detection
3348
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3349
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3350
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3351
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3352
 
3353
    Solaris Toolset
3354
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3355
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3356
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3357
    link.
3358
 
3359
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3360
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3361
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3362
 
3363
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3364
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3365
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3366
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3371
Major changes:
3372
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3373
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3374
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3375
 
3376
    Summary of changes:
3377
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3378
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3379
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3380
          flexibility.
3381
 
3382
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3383
 
3384
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3385
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3386
          interface directory and associated build information.
3387
 
3388
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3389
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3390
          than one second.
3391
 
3392
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3393
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3394
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3395
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3396
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3397
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3398
 
3399
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3400
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3401
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3402
 
3403
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3404
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3405
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3406
          building them.
3407
 
3408
        - Detection of build file changes
3409
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3410
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3411
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3412
 
3413
        - Quieter make output
3414
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3415
 
3416
 
3417
Minor changes:
3418
    MakeAnt Directive
3419
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3420
 
3421
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3422
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3423
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3424
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3425
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3426
 
3427
    CSHARP toolset
3428
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3429

Minor changes:
3436
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3437
    are generated.
3438
 
3439
    MakeAnt
3440
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3441
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3442
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3443
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3444
 
3445
    MCR platform

Minor changes:
3455
    MakeAnt directive extended
3456
    New option: --PackageBase
3457
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3458
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3459
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3460
 
3461
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3462
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3463
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3464
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
3484
 
3485
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3486
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3487
 
3488
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3489
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3490
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3491
 
3492
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3493
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3494
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3495
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3524
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3525
 
3526
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3527
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3528
      last.
3529
 
3530
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3531
 
3532

3555
Major changes:
3556
 
3557
Minor changes:
3558
    * Solaris Toolset
3559
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3560
      dependent packages.
3561
 
3562
    * RunTest operation
3563
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3564
 
3565
    * Csharp toolkit
3566
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too

3569
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
3570
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3571
Major changes:
3572
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3573
 
3574
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3575
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3576
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3577
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3578
      path.
3579
 
3580
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3581
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3582
      reproducible.
3583
 
3584
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3585
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3586
 
3587
      There are several aspects to the change
3588
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3589
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3590
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3591
 
3592
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3593
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3594
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3595
          controlled separately.
3596
 
3597
Minor changes:
3598
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3599
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3600
        Remove duplicates
3601
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3602

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3605
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3606
Major changes:
3607
 
3608
Minor changes:
3609
    * Makefile sanity test
3610
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3611
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3612
 
3613
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3614
      x86 machine.
3615
 
3616
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3617
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3618
 
3619
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3620
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3621
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3622
Major changes:
3623
    * RunTest directive
3624
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3625
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3626
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3627
 
3628
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3629
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3630
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3631
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3632
 
3633
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3634
        builder within the current toolset.
3635
 
3636
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3637
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3638
 
3639
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3640
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3641
      containing the RunTest directive.
3642
 
3643
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3644
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3645
 
3646
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3647
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3648
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3649
 
3650
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3651
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3652
                            P or D suffix.
3653
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3654
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3655
 
3656
Minor changes:
3657
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3658
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3659
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3660
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3661
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3662
 
3663
    * Save Build Utility
3664
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3665
      used in a ripple build.
3666
 
3667
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3668
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3669
 
3670
    * Release Utility
3671
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3672
      when an error is encountered.
3673
 
3674
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3675
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3676
 
3677
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3678
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3679
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3680
 
3681
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3682
      before the makefiles are created.
3683
 
3684
    * TestProg directive
3685
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3686
 
3687
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3688
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3689

3693
Major changes:
3694
    * New build target
3695
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3696
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3697
 
3698
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3699
            DEVLINUX
3700
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3701
 
3702
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3703
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3704
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3705
 
3706
Minor changes:
3707
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3708
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3709
 
3710
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3711
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3712
 
3713
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3714
      and .cs files.
3715
 
3716
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3717
      thing.
3718
 
3719
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3720
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3721
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3722
      were it places temp files.
3723
 
3724
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3725
      interaction with other builds.
3726
 
3727
    * Release utility command
3728
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3729
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3730
      component in the clearcase tag name.

3741
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
3742
    libraries
3743
 
3744
Minor changes:
3745
  * Unit Tests
3746
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3747
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3748
 
3749
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3750
    as a Script.

3785
        TP5600
3786
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3787
        TP5600_EMU

        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3789
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3790
 
3791
  * Deployment
3792
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3793
 
3794
  * build.pl
3795
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3796
 
3797
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3798
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3799
 
3800
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3801
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3802
    build.
3803
 
3804
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3805
 
3806
  * Tool: escrow
3807
     New features
3808
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3809
     are not in the SBOM.
3810
 
3811
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3812

Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3819
Major changes:
3820
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3821
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3822
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3823
 
3824
  * GenerateFiles
3825
    Added the options:
3826
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3827
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3828
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3829
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3830
 
3831
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3832
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3833
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3834
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3835
                                  required.
3836
 
3837
 
3838
Minor changes:
3839
  * GenerateFile directive
3840
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3841
 
3842
  * GCC Toolset
3843
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3844
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3845
    be rebuilt.
3846
 
3847
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3848
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3849
 
3850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3851
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3852
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3853
Major changes:
3854
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3855
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3856
    environment variables.
3857
 
3858
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3859
            moved.
3860
 
3861
    This will affect users that:
3862
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3863
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3864
 
3865
        2) Use the ABT system
3866
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3867
           the required configuration
3868
 
3869
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3870
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3871
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3872
    Windows
3873
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3874
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3875
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3876
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3877
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3878
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3879
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3880
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3881
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3882
 
3883
 
3884
  * New build platforms
3885
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3886
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3887
 
3888
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3889
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3890
 
3891
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3892
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3893
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3894
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3895
 
3896
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3897
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3898
    release.
3899
 
3900
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3901
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3902
 
3903
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3904
    need to be converted.
3905
 
3906
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3907
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3908
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3909
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3910
    used for different targets platforms.
3911
 
3912
  * Sandbox support
3913
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3914
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3915
 
3916
    New command: jats sandbox ...
3917
 
3918
Minor changes:
3919
 
3920
 
3921
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3922
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
3923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3924
Major changes:
3925
  * MakeAnt directive
3926
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3927
 
3928
    New options
3929
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3930
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3931
 
3932
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3933
    run_unit_tests phase.
3934
 
3935
  * Sandbox support
3936
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3937
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3938
 
3939
Minor changes:
3940
  * jats build
3941
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3942
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3943
 
3944
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3945
 
3946
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3947
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3948
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3949
 
3950
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3951
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3952
 
3953
  * JATS.BAT
3954
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3955
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3956
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3957
 
3958
  * jats label
3959
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3960
 
3961
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3962
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3964
Major changes:
3965
  * New build platform:
3966
        LMOS_TP5600
3967
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3968
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3969
 
3970
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3971
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3972
    describe the group of platforms.
3973
 
3974
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3975
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3976
    build these targets.
3977
 
3978
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3979
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3980
 
3981
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3982
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3983
 
3984
  * New build platform: WINCE
3985
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3986
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3987
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3988
 
3989
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3990
            WCEIT3000
3991
            WCEPA961
3992
            WCEPA962
3993
            WCEPCM7220
3994
            WCEPSION_420
3995
            WCEPSPC_arm
3996
            WCEPSPC_emu
3997
            WCEX86A420
3998
            WCEX86A500
3999
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4000
 
4001
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4002
 
4003
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4004
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4005
    that contain packaging directives.
4006
 
4007
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4008
    very unusual configurations.
4009
 
4010
Minor changes:
4011
  * Directive: PackageFile
4012
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4013
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4014
    an '='.
4015
 
4016
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4017
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4018
 
4019
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4020
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4021
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4022
 
4023
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4024
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4025
 
4026
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4027
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4029
Major changes:
4030
 
4031
  * JATS release command
4032
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4033
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4034
 
4035
    Rules are:
4036
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4037
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4038
                            File will be placed on a branch
4039
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4040
                            New directory will branch
4041
 
4042
Minor changes:
4043
  * JATS release command
4044
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4045
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4046
 
4047
  * JATS label command
4048
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4049
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4050
 
4051
  * JATS make
4052
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4053
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4054
    was re-packaged.
4055
 
4056
  * JATS escrow
4057
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4058
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4059
 
4060
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4061
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4062
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4063
 
4064
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4065
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4066
    interface directory.
4067
 
4068
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4069
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4070
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4071
    directory as seen by the package.
4072
 
4073
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4074
 
4075
  * JAVA 6
4076
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4077
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4078
 
4079
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4080
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4081
 
4082
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4083
 
4084
  * Jats command: vars
4085
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4086
    These indicate potential problems.
4087
 
4088
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4089
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4090
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4091
Major changes:
4092
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4093
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4094
    libarry is also created.
4095
 
4096
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4097
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4098
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4099
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4100
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4101
    information contained within the file.
4102
 
4103
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4104
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4105
 
4106
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4107
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4108
 
4109
  * Building Perl Modules
4110
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4111
    documentation on the build machine.
4112
 
4113
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4114
 
4115
Minor changes:
4116
  * jats create_dpkg
4117
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4118
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4119
 
4120
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4121
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4122
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4123
Major changes:
4124
  * JATS JAVA build target
4125
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4126
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4127
 
4128
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4129
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4130
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4131
    is then picked up as the default version.
4132
 
4133
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4134
    build.pl file.
4135
 
4136
Minor changes:
4137
  * jats release
4138
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4139
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4140
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4141
 
4142
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4143
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4144
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4145
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4146
    the name of the view.
4147
 
4148
  * GenerateFiles directive
4149
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4150
 
4151
  * MOS Toolset
4152
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4153
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4154
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4155
 
4156
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4157
 
4158
 
4159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4160
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4161
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4162
Major changes:
4163
 
4164
Minor changes:
4165
  * JATS environment
4166
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4167
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4168
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4169
 
4170
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4171
 
4172
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4173
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4174
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4175
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4176
    to be packaged.
4177
 
4178
  * Generated makefiles
4179
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4180
 
4181
  * Generating MOS THX files
4182
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4183
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4184
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4185
 
4186
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4187
 
4188
  * JATS release
4189
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4190
 
4191
  * JATS extract
4192
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4193
 
4194
  * JATS Toolset
4195
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4196
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4197
 
4198
 
4199
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4200
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4201
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4202
Major changes:
4203
 
4204
Minor changes:
4205
  * jats label
4206
    Added a -vob=name option
4207
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4208
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4209
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4210
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4211
 
4212
    Added a -user=name option
4213
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4214
    label to the named user.
4215
 
4216
  * jats release
4217
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4218
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4219
 
4220
  * JATS build.pl
4221
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4222
    ie:
4223
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4224
 
4225
 
4226
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4227
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4229
Major changes:
4230
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4231
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4232
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4233
    the makefile internals. ie:
4234
        --Var(BuildName)
4235
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4236
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4237
 
4238
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4239
 
4240
  * GenerateFiles
4241
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4242
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4243
 
4244
  * BuildPlatforms
4245
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4246
 
4247
Minor changes:
4248
  * GCC Toolset
4249
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4250
 
4251
Internal changes:
4252
  * GenerateFiles
4253
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4254
 
4255
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4256
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4257
 
4258
 
4259
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4260
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4262
Major changes:
4263
  * Caching JATS
4264
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4265
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4266
 
4267
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4268
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4269
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4270
 
4271
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4272
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4273
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4274
 
4275
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4276
 
4277
Minor changes:
4278
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4279
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4280
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4281
 
4282
  * jats build
4283
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4284
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4285
    processed by the build.
4286
 
4287
  * jats build
4288
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4289
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4290
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4291
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4292
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4293
 
4294
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4295
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4296
    Path is not specified.
4297
 
4298
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4299
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4300
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4301
        --Dir=$Pinc
4302
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4303
 
4304
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4305
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4306
    Windows platform.
4307
 
4308
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4309
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4310
            by 'purecov.
4311
 
4312
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4313
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4314
 
4315
        - OPTIONS=purify
4316
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4317
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4318
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
4323
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4324
Major changes:
4325
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4326
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4327
    Example:
4328
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4329
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4330
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4331
 
4332
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4333
    been determined.
4334
 
4335
Minor changes:
4336
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4337
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4338
    located at build-time.
4339
 
4340
  * Unix based systems
4341
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4342
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4343
 
4344
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4345
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4346
    driver being built.
4347

4361
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4362
 
4363
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4364
    dependancy information within a package.
4365
 
4366
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4367
    messages.

4376
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4377
 
4378
    GenerateFiles.
4379
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4380
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4381
                      be run on every invocation.
4382
 
4383
 
4384

  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4390
  There are two mechanism:
4391
 
4392
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4393
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4394
 
4395
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4396
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4397
 
4398
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4399
  default.

4407
  * SunWorks Toolset
4408
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4409
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4410
    It is based on machine type.
4411
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4412
 
4413
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4414
 
4415
Minor changes:
4416

4425
Major changes:
4426
  * GCC Toolset
4427
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
4428
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset

4439
    field separator.
4440
 
4441
  * JATS eprog command
4442
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4443
 
4444
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4445
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4446
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4447
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4448
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4449
 
4450
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4451
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4452
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4453
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4454
 
4455
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4456
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

4466
 
4467
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
4468
 
4469
 
4470
Minor changes:
4471
  * JATS wrapper script
4472
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4473
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4474
    to setup links to system programs.
4475

    Added CompileOptions
4497
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4498
        no_misalign         - Default
4499
 
4500
        multithread         - Default
4501
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking

        debug_debuginfo
4515
 
4516
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4517
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4518
    Theses are:
4519
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4520
        SOLARIS_AMD
4521
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4522
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4523
 
4524
Minor changes:
4525
  * AT3232 toolset
4526
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
4527
 
4528
  * Jats build

4535
Major changes:
4536
 
4537
Minor changes:
4538
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4539
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4540
    messages
4541
 
4542
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4543
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4544
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4545
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4546

4550
Major changes:
4551
 
4552
Minor changes:
4553
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4554
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4555
    library without creating the body of the library:
4556
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4557
 
4558
 
4559
  * MOS toolsets
4560
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4561
    library without creating the body of the library:
4562
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4563
 
4564
  * JATS BIN directories
4565
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4566
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4567
    using autoconf.
4568
 
4569
  * Generate directive
4570
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4571
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4572
 
4573
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4574

4579
Major changes:
4580
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4581
    Initial release.

4588
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4589
Major changes:
4590
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4591
    Initial release.
4592
 
4593
  * Packaging directives
4594
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4595
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4596
 
4597
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4598
        SOLARIS
4599
        WIN32
4600
 
4601
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4602
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4603
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4604
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4605
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4606
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4607
 
4608
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4609
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4610
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4611
 
4612
 
4613
Minor changes:
4614
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4615
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4616
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4617
 
4618
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4619
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4620
    location
4621
 
4622
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4623
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4624
 
4625
  * Utility genrc
4626
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4627
 
4628
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4629
    Added option: -new
4630
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4631
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4632
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4633
 
4634
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4635
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4636
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4637
 
4638
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4639
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4640
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4641
 
4642
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4643
   features - in a uniform manner.
4644
 
4645
 
4646
Internal Changes:
4647
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4648
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4649
 
4650
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4651
        1) Platform information available at build time
4652
        2) Dynamic platform names
4653
 
4654
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4655
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4656
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4657
 
4658
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4659
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4660
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4661
 
4662
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4663
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4664
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4665
    needed.
4666
 
4667
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4668
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4669
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4670
    files from all of these.
4671

4673
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

4675
Major changes:
4676
 
4677
Minor changes:
4678
  * WinCE toolset

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4682
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4684
Major changes:
4685
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4686
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4687
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4688
 
4689
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4690
 
4691
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4692
    the operations.
4693
 
4694
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4695
 
4696
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4697
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4698
 
4699
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4700
 
4701
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4702
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4703
 
4704
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4705
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4706
    Extended the built-in help
4707
    Added useful error messages
4708
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4709
 
4710
  * WinCE toolset
4711
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4712
 
4713
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4714
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4715
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4716
 
4717
Minor changes:
4718
  * JATS wrapper script
4719
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4720
    the command line.
4721
 
4722
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4723
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4724
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4725
 
4726
Internal Changes:
4727
  * Common Error Reporting
4728
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4729
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4730
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4731
    level.
4732
 
4733
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4734
    displayed.
4735

4759
Major changes:
4760
 
4761
Minor changes:
4762
  * BR Compiler toolset
4763
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4764
    use.
4765
 
4766
 
4767
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4768
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4770
Major changes:
4771
 
4772
Minor changes:
4773
  * Mictotec toolset
4774
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4775
    builds.
4776
 
4777
  * JATS Core
4778
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4779
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4780
    behaviour.
4781
 
4782
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4783
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4784
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4785
Major changes:
4786
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4787
    Deployment package will be affected.
4788
 
4789
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4790
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4791
 
4792
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4793
 
4794
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4795
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4796
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4797
    packages.
4798
 
4799
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4800
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4801
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4802
 
4803
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4804
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4805
 
4806
Minor changes:
4807
  * SubDir directive
4808
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4809
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4810
 
4811
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4812
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4813
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4814
    of the file usage.
4815
 
4816
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4817
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4818
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4819
 
4820
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4821
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4822
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4823
 
4824
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4825
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4826
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4827
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4828
 
4829
 
4830
Internal Changes:
4831
  * Code refactor
4832
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4833
 
4834
  * Deployment utilities
4835
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4836
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4837
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4838
    the module can locate the file.
4839
 
4840
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4841
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4842
 
4843
  * JATS core
4844
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4845
 
4846
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4847
 
4848
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4849
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4850
    through the use of environment variables.
4851
 
4852
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4853
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4854
 
4855
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4856
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4857
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4858
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4859
 
4860
  * Make environment
4861
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4862
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4863
 
4864
 
4865
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4866
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4868
Major changes:
4869
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4870
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4871
 
4872
 
4873
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4874
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4876
 
4877
Not Released.
4878
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4879
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4880
 
4881
 
4882
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4883
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4884
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4885
Major changes:
4886
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4887
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4888
    radically replaced.
4889
 
4890
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4891
    Usage:
4892
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4893
 
4894
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4895
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4896
    this solution:
4897
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4898
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4899
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4900
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4901
 
4902
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4903
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4904
    order to work.
4905
 
4906
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4907
    reduced functionality.
4908
 
4909
 
4910
Minor changes:
4911
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4912
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4913
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4914
 
4915
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4916
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4917
    within the makefiles.
4918
        Options:
4919
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4920
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4921
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4922
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4923
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4924
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4925
        Useage:
4926
 
4927
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4928
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4929
 
4930
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4931
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4932
    is not in the current directory.
4933
 
4934
  * Jats Command: ant'
4935
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4936
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4937
 
4938
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4939
 
4940
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4941
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4942
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4943
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4944
 
4945
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4946
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4947
    Thus
4948
 
4949
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4950
 
4951
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4952
 
4953
 
4954
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4955
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4956
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4957
Major changes:
4958
 
4959
Minor changes:
4960
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4961
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4962
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4963
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4964
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4965
 
4966
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4967
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4968
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4969
 
4970
Internal changes:
4971
  * JATS toolsets
4972
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4973
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4974
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4975
 
4976
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4977
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4978
 
4979
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4980
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4981
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4982
Major changes:
4983
  * Jats command: etool
4984
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4985
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4986
 
4987
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4988
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4989
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4990
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4991
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4992
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4993
 
4994
Minor changes:
4995
 
4996
 
4997
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4998
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4999
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5000
Major changes:
5001
  * JATS environment variables
5002
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5003
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5004
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5005
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5006
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5007
 
5008
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5009
              Remote repository
5010
 
5011
    Added GBE_DPLY
5012
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5013
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5014
 
5015
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5016
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5017
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5018
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5019
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5020
 
5021
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5022
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5023
 
5024
 
5025
Minor changes:
5026
  * JATS utility: build
5027
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5028
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5029
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5030
 
5031
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5032
    Ensure label is not locked
5033
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5034
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5035
 
5036
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5037
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5038
    to a specific type of build.
5039
 
5040
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5041
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5042
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5043
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5044
 
5045
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5046
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5047
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5048
 
5049
  * JATS utility: release
5050
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5051
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5052
 
5053
  * JATS utility: label
5054
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5055
    when it is being created.
5056
 
5057
Internal Changes
5058
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5059
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5060
 
5061
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5062
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5063
 
5064
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5065
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5066
    different results.
5067
 
5068
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5069
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5070
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5071
 
5072
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5073
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5075
Major changes:
5076
 
5077
  * MCR toolset
5078
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5079
 
5080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5081
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5083
Major changes:
5084
  * WIN32 utilities
5085
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5086
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5087
 
5088
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5089
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5090
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5091
 
5092
Minor changes:
5093
  * BuildVersion
5094
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5095
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5096
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5097
 
5098
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5099
 
5100
  * Unix Builds
5101
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5102
    library or a shared library.
5103
 
5104
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5105
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5106
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5107
    start with 'lib'.
5108
 
5109
  * BuildPkgArchive
5110
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5111
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5112
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5113
 
5114
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5115
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5116
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5117
Major changes:
5118
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5119
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5120
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5121
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5122
    being manually maintained.
5123
 
5124
 
5125
Minor changes:
5126
  * MakeAnt directive
5127
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5128
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5129
    supports ANT builds.
5130
 
5131
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5132
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5133
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5134
 
5135
  * Label utility
5136
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5137
    files to be labeled.
5138
 
5139
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5140
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5141
    on Solaris.
5142
 
5143
  * Generated makefiles
5144
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5145
    nothing.
5146
 
5147
  * MOS Toolset
5148
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5149
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5150
    modules.
5151
 
5152
  * Utility: gen_cots
5153
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5154
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5155
 
5156
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5157
 
5158
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5159
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5160
 
5161

5162
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5163
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5164
Major changes:
5165
  None
5166
 
5167
Minor changes:
5168
  * DEVI addressed
5169
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5170
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5171
 
5172
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5173
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5174
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5175
 
5176
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5177
 
5178
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5179
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5180
 
5181
  * RunTest directive
5182
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5183
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5184
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5185
 
5186
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5187
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5188
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5189
    packaged under JATS
5190
 
5191
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5192
          supported within JATS.
5193
 
5194
  * Jats utility wrapper
5195
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5196
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5197
 
5198
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5199
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5200
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5201
 
5202
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5203
    Eg: jats ant
5204
 
5205
  * Jats utility wrapper
5206
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5207
 
5208
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5209
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5210
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5211
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5212
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5213
 
5214
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5215
    expect a build.pl file.
5216
 
5217
  * Jats utility wrapper
5218
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5219
 
5220
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5221
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5222
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5223
 
5224
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5225
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5226
 
5227
  * Build files
5228
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5229
    ERG extensions.
5230
 
5231
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5232
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5233
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5234
Major changes:
5235
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5236
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5237
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5238
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5239
 
5240
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5241
 
5242
Minor changes:
5243
  * None
5244
 
5245
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5246
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5247
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5248
Major changes:
5249
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5250
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5251
    ie:
5252
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5253
 
5254
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5255
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5256
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5257
    environments are compatible.
5258
 
5259
 
5260
Minor changes:
5261
  * BuildName option
5262
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5263
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5264
 
5265
  * jats.bat
5266
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5267
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5268
 
5269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5270
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5271
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5272
Major changes:
5273
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5274
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5275
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5276
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5277
 
5278
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5279
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5280
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5281
 
5282
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5283
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5284
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5285
 
5286
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5287
    transferred.
5288
 
5289
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5290
    See notes below.
5291
 
5292
  * WIN32 toolset
5293
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5294
    correctly.
5295
 
5296
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5297
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5298
 
5299
  * BuildVersion
5300
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5301
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5302
    other langauges as needed.
5303
 
5304
 
5305
Minor changes:
5306
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5307
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5308
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5309
    version strings.
5310
 
5311
  * GenerateFiles directive
5312
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5313
    package or an imported package.
5314
 
5315
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5316
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5317
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5318
 
5319
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5320
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5321
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5322
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5323
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5324
 
5325
Internal Changes
5326
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5327
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5328
    of utilities.
5329
 
5330
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5331
    functions.
5332
 
5333
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5334
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5335
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5336
Major changes:
5337
  * Generated makefiles
5338
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5339
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5340
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5341
 
5342
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5343
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5344
    incorrectly processing:
5345
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5346
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5347
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5348
    confused.
5349
 
5350
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5351
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5352
    The construct
5353
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5354
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5355
    then it works.
5356
 
5357
  * MakeAnt directive
5358
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5359
 
5360
    This option has the following effects
5361
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5362
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5363
 
5364
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5365
           early - in the generated files phase.
5366
 
5367
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5368
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5369
 
5370
 
5371
Minor changes:
5372
  * JATS post-installation script
5373
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5374
 
5375
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5376
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5377
    windows.
5378
 
5379
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5380
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5381
 
5382
  * Jats wrapper script
5383
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5384
        1) Contain spaces
5385
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5386
 
5387
  * Toolset
5388
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5389
 
5390
  * JAVA toolset
5391
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5392
    directive:
5393
 
5394
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5395
 
5396
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5397
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5398
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5399
 
5400
  * GCC Toolset
5401
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5402
 
5403
  * Makefile generation
5404
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5405
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5406
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5407
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5408
    package could not be used.
5409
 
5410
  * Unit Tests
5411
    The following environment variables are set:
5412
 
5413
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5414
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5415
 
5416
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5417
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5418
 
5419
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5420
 
5421
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5422
 
5423
 
5424
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5425
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5426
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5427
Major changes:
5428
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5429
 
5430
    Special features of this toolset.
5431
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5432
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5433
       incorporated within the target image.
5434
 
5435
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5436
       --Set=Name=Value
5437
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5438
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5439
 
5440
       --Ref=name
5441
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5442
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5443
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5444
                will be taken from the build version number.
5445
 
5446
Minor changes:
5447
  * MOS Toolset
5448
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5449
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5450
    packaged.
5451
 
5452
  * Src directive
5453
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5454
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5455
    specifier.
5456
 
5457
  * WIN32 runtime support
5458
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5459
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5460
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5461
 
5462
Internal:
5463
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5464
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5465
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5466
 
5467
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5468
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5469
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5470
Major changes:
5471
    * BuildAlias directive
5472
      Added options.
5473
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5474
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5475
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5476
                          targets.
5477
      Eg:
5478
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5479
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5480
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5481
 
5482
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5483
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5484
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5485
 
5486
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5487
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5488
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5489
 
5490
 
5491
Minor changes:
5492
  * Label utility
5493
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5494
    build.pl file
5495
 
5496
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5497
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5498
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5499
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5500
    --FilterIn option.
5501
 
5502
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5503
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5504
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5505
 
5506
  * Location of descpkg file
5507
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5508
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5509
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5510
 
5511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5512
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5513
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5514
Major changes:
5515
  * RunTest directive
5516
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5517
    Additional options
5518
      --CopyIn=file
5519
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5520
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5521
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5522
        the test area.
5523
 
5524
    Additional operations
5525
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5526
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5527
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5528
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5529
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5530
    Allows flags:
5531
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5532
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5533
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5534
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5535
 
5536
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5537
    existence is tested.
5538
 
5539
  * Packaging Directives
5540
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5541
    such as LMOS.
5542
 
5543
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5544
 
5545
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5546
 
5547
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5548
 
5549
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5550
 
5551
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5552
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5553
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5554
 
5555
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5556
 
5557
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5558
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5559
 
5560
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5561
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5562
 
5563
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5564
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5565
 
5566
Minor changes:
5567
  * Script directive
5568
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5569
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5570
 
5571
  * JATS environment
5572
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5573
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5574
    the JATS wrapper script.
5575
 
5576
  * Label utility
5577
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5578
    There are three modes of operation:
5579
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5580
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5581
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5582

5585
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5586
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5587
Major changes:
5588
 
5589
Minor changes:
5590
  * label utility
5591
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5592
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5593
 
5594
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5595
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5596
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5597
      --ProgLoader=name
5598
 
5599
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5600
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5601
    Options to do this are:
5602
        --TreeDir=name
5603
        --FilterOut=regexp
5604
        --FilterIn=regexp
5605
        --StripDir
5606
 
5607
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5608
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5609
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5610
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5611
 
5612
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5613
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5614
 
5615
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5616
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5617
 
5618
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5619
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5620
 
5621
 
5622
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5623
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5625
Major changes:
5626
    * Make commands
5627
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5628
 
5629
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5630
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5631
 
5632
    * Label utility
5633
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5634
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5635
 
5636
Minor changes:
5637
    * Toolsets
5638
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5639
      variables and overrides.
5640
 
5641
      The make_init target is always run.
5642
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5643
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5644
 
5645
    * Deployment
5646
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5647
      with deployment operations.
5648
 
5649
    * Release utility
5650
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5651
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5652
      restricted by options within the build.
5653
 
5654
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5655
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5656
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5657
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5658
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5659
 
5660
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5661
      directives.
5662
 
5663
    * MakeProject directive
5664
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5665
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5666
 
5667
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5668
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5669
      is preserved.
5670
 
5671
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5672
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5673
      statements.
5674
 
5675
    * Mugfile generation
5676
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5677
      be placed in the target package.
5678
 
5679
 
5680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5681
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5683
Major changes:
5684
    * BuildVersion directive
5685
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5686
      number as well as a patch number.
5687
 
5688
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5689
      number.
5690
 
5691
Minor changes:
5692
    * AddFlags directives
5693
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5694
      duplicate flags being added.
5695
 
5696
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5697
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5698
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5699
 
5700
    * Mug File Generation
5701
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5702
 
5703
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5704
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5705
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5706
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5707
     directory.
5708
 
5709
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5710
     reproducible.
5711
 
5712
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5713
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5714
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5715
Major changes:
5716
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5717
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5718
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5719
      longer a list of directories.
5720
 
5721
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5722
      done within the toolset.
5723
 
5724
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5725
 
5726
    * JATS environment variables
5727
      Redefined variable
5728
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5729
                          Previously was a list that included the
5730
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5731
 
5732
      New variable
5733
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5734
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5735
 
5736
 
5737
Minor changes:
5738
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5739
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5740
      target platforms to be extracted.
5741
 
5742
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5743
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5744
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5745
 
5746
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5747
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5748
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5749
 
5750
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5751
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5752
 
5753
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5754
      Support ANT based XML files
5755
 
5756
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5757
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5758
      structure.
5759
 
5760
    * makefile.pl's
5761
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5762
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5763
 
5764
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5765
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5766
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5767
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5768
 
5769
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5770
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5771
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5772
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5773
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5774
      -- Auto.
5775
 
5776
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5777
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5778
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5779
 
5780
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5781
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5782
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5783
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5784
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5785
 
5786
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5787
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5788
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5789
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5790
      installed on the machine.
5791
 
5792
    * WINCE Targets
5793
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5794
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5795
 
5796
 
5797

Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5801
Major changes:
5802
    * WIN32 platforms
5803
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5804
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5805
      and installed packages.
5806
 
5807
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5808
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5809
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5810
 
5811
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5812
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5813
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5814
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5815
      searched when looking for libraries.
5816
 
5817
Minor changes:
5818
    * GenerateFiles directive
5819
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5820
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5821
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5822
                          and drive letter
5823
 
5824
    * Src directive
5825
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5826
      directory of a package.
5827
 
5828
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5829
 
5830
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5831
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5832
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5833
 
5834
    * jats_rewrite utility
5835
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5836
 
5837
 
5838
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5839
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5840
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5841
Major changes:
5842
    * SunWorks production builds
5843
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5844
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5845
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5846
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5847
      compiler documentation.
5848
 
5849
    * MOS Toolset
5850
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5851
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5852
 
5853
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5854
 
5855
Minor changes:
5856
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5857
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5858
      This should not affect current users.
5859
 
5860
    * Mugfile generation
5861
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5862
      specified.
5863
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5864

5867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5868
Major changes:
5869
    MOS Toolset
5870
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5871
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5872
 
5873
Minor changes:
5874
    * Jats wrapper script
5875
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5876
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5877
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5878
 
5879
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5880
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5881
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5882
      may be suspect.
5883
 
5884
    * GenerateFiles directive
5885
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5886
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5887
 
5888
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5889
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5890
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5891
Major changes:
5892
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5893
      build.xml files.
5894
 
5895
Minor changes:
5896
    * WIN32 toolset.
5897
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5898
 
5899
    * MakeAnt
5900
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5901
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5902
 
5903
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5904
 
5905
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5906
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5907
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5908
 
5909
    * MakeAnt directive
5910
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5911
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5912
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5913
 
5914
      Recommended usage:
5915
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5916
 
5917
Internal Changes
5918
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5919

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5924
Major changes:
5925
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5926
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5927
      files packaged into the release.
5928
 
5929
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5933
 
5934
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5935
      The recommended platform is:
5936
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5937
 
5938
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5939
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5940
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5941
      components.

5947
 
5948
Minor changes:
5949
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5950
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5951
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5952
      by the package to be accessed.
5953
 
5954
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5955
      application or visual studio.
5956
 
5957
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5958
      and the JATS Core path.
5959
 
5960
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5961
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5962
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5963
 
5964
    * MOS Toolset
5965
      Add support for the TPT device
5966
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5967
 
5968
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5969
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5970
 
5971
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5972
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5973
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5974
 
5975
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5976
 
5977
Internal Changes
5978
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5979
      in jats.pl
5980
 
5981
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5982
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5983
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5984
Major changes:
5985
    * JATS wrapper script
5986
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5987
 
5988
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5989
 
5990
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5991
 
5992
Minor changes:
5993
    * Deployment support
5994
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5995
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5996
 
5997
    * 'build'
5998
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5999
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6000
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6001
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6002
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6003
 
6004
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6005
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6006
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6007
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6008
                                      the link phase.
6009
 
6010
    * BuildPkgArchive
6011
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6012
      Previously these were ignored.
6013
      Minor code cleanup
6014
 
6015
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6016
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6017
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6018
 
6019
    * SOLARIS targets
6020
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6021
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6022
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6023
 
6024
    * MugFile generation
6025
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6026
      included in the final package.
6027
 
6028
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6029
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6030
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6031
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6032
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6033
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6034
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6035
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6036
 
6037
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6038
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6039
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6040
            --Option=(some_text)
6041
            --Option=[some_text]
6042
            --Option={some_text}
6043
 
6044
Internal Changes
6045
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6046
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6047
      code.
6048
 
6049
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6050
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6052
Major changes:
6053
    * JATS wrapper script
6054
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6055
 
6056
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6057
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6058
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6059
      other components.
6060
 
6061
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6062
 
6063
    * JATS
6064
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6065
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6066
 
6067
    * Build operations
6068
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6069
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6070
      packages.
6071
 
6072
    * Make operations
6073
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6074
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6075
 
6076
Minor changes:
6077
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6078
      deployment builds.
6079
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6080
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6081
 
6082
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6083
 
6084
    * build.pl
6085
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6086
        processed. Allows
6087
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6088
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6089
        production.
6090
 
6091
    * MOS toolset
6092
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6093
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6094
 
6095
    * create_dpkg utility
6096
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6097
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6098
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6099
      progress of the build.
6100
 
6101
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6102
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6103
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6104
      system.
6105
 
6106
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6107
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6108
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6109
Major changes:
6110
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6111
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6112
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6113
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6114
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6115
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6116
 
6117
    * WCEX86A500 target
6118
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6119
 
6120
    * MOS Toolsets
6121
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6122
      the compiler.
6123
 
6124
    * RunTest directive
6125
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6126
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6127
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6128
 
6129
Minor changes:
6130
    * JATS BUILD
6131
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6132
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6133
      highlight bad settings.
6134
 
6135
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6136
      access to extensions.
6137
 
6138
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6139
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6140
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6141
Major changes:
6142
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6143
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6144
 
6145
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6146
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6147
      under unix.
6148
 
6149
Minor changes:
6150
    * label utility
6151
      Added options to:
6152
        o Delete a label
6153
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6154
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6155
 
6156
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6157
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6158
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6159
      Package directives.
6160
 
6161
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6162
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6163
      system.
6164
 
6165
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6166
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6167
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6168
Major changes:
6169
    * MOS Toolset
6170
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6171
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6172
 
6173
    * WIN32 Toolset
6174
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6175
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6176
      list.
6177
 
6178
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6179
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6180
 
6181
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6182
 
6183
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6184
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6185
 
6186
 
6187
Minor changes:
6188
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6189
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6190
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6191
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6192
      corrected.
6193
 
6194
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6195
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6196
 
6197
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6198
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6199
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6200
 
6201
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6202
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6203
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6204
Major changes:
6205
    * WIN32 Toolset
6206
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6207
      use with multithreaded modes.
6208
 
6209
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6210
      --OnlyProd.
6211
 
6212
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6213
      within the makefile.pl.
6214
 
6215
Minor changes:
6216
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6217
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6218
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6219
      platforms.
6220
 
6221
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6222
 
6223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6224
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6226
Major changes:
6227
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6228
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6229
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6230
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6231
 
6232
    * Preliminary Support
6233
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6234
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6235
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6236
 
6237
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6238
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6239
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6240
 
6241
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6242
      building. The default build will build both.
6243
 
6244
Minor changes:
6245
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6246
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6247
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6248
 
6249
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6250
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6251
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6252
 
6253
 
6254
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6255
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6257
Major changes:
6258
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6259
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6260
      or all.
6261
 
6262
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6263
      the library or program.
6264
 
6265
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6266
 
6267
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6268
      library or any debug files.
6269
 
6270
    * GenerateFiles
6271
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6272
 
6273
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6274
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6275
 
6276
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6277
              The filename of the prereq file
6278
 
6279
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6280
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6281
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6282
 
6283
 
6284
Minor changes:
6285
    * create_dpkg utility
6286
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6287
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6288
      the package has been altered.
6289
 
6290
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6291
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
6292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6293
Major changes:
6294
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6295
      This is a WINCE target
6296
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6297
 
6298
    * New toolset
6299
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6300
 
6301
    * Modified toolset
6302
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6303
 
6304
    * Modified toolset
6305
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6306
 
6307
Minor changes:
6308
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6309
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6310
 
6311
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6312
 
6313
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6314
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6315
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6316
 
6317
      The change allows the construct
6318
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6319
      to be replaced by the simpler
6320
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6321
 
6322
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6323
      specified name.    
6324

6343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6344
Major changes:
6345
    * The "package.pl" file.
6346
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6347
      package name being taken from the build name
6348
 
6349
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6350
      package Build Name.
6351
 
6352
Minor changes:
6353
    * create_dpkg utility

6358
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6359
Major changes:
6360
 
6361
Minor changes:
6362
    * Dependancy generator
6363
      Correct two common situations
6364
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6365
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6366
           ansi, but is often done.
6367
 
6368
    * GCC toolset
6369
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6370
      being created in the correct place.
6371
 
6372
    * jats "label"
6373
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6374
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6375
 
6376
 
6377
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6378
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6379
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6380
Major changes:
6381
 
6382
Minor changes:
6383
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6384
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6385
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6386
 
6387
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6388
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6389
 
6390
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6391
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6392
      package was not being transferred.
6393
 
6394
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6395
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6397
Major changes:
6398
    * Support for solaris_i386
6399
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6400
      binaries for this target.
6401
 
6402
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6403
      with the GCC compiler.
6404
 
6405
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6406
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6407
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6408
 
6409
Minor changes:
6410
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6411
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6412
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6413
 
6414
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6415
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6416
 
6417
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6418
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6419
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6420
Major changes:
6421
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6422
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6423
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6424
 
6425
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6426
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6427
 
6428
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6429
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6430
      with either " or ' characters.
6431
 
6432
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6433
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6434
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6435
 
6436
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6437
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6438
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6439
 
6440
    * Jats wrapper
6441
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6442
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6443
      further commands.
6444
 
6445
Minor changes:
6446
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6447
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6448
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6449
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6450
 
6451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6452
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6454
Major changes:
6455
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6456
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6457
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6458
 
6459
      These options operation affect all components within the
6460
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6461
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6462
 
6463
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6464
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6465
 
6466
Minor changes:
6467
 
6468
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6469
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6470
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6471
Major changes:
6472
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6473
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6474
 
6475
Minor changes:
6476
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6477
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6478
 
6479
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6480
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6481
 
6482
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6483
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6484
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6485
Major changes:
6486
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6487
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6488
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6489
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6490
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6491
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6492
      installed.
6493
 
6494
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6495
      libraries that depend on each other.
6496
 
6497
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6498
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6499
 
6500
Minor changes:
6501
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6502
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6503
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6504
 
6505
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6506
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6507
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6508
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6509
 
6510
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6511
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6512
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6513
Major changes:
6514
 
6515
Minor changes:
6516
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6517
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6518
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6519
      file.
6520
 
6521
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6522
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6523
 
6524
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6525
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6526
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6527
 
6528
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6529
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6530
 
6531
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6532
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6533
 
6534
    * WinCE toolsets
6535
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6536
      compiler specific libraries.
6537
 
6538
    * SOLARIS toolset
6539
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6540
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6541
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6542
 
6543
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6544
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6545
      cleaned up.
6546
 
6547
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6548
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6549
 
6550
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6551
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6552
      with either " or ' characters.
6553
 
6554

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6556
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6558
Major changes:
6559
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6560
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6561
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6562
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6563
 
6564
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6565
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6566
 
6567
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6568
      user.
6569
 
6570
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6571
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6572
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6573
 
6574
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6575
      for the   -Gf option.
6576
 
6577
Minor changes:
6578
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6579
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6580
 
6581
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6582
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6583
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6584
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6585
 
6586
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6587
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6588
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6589
Major changes:
6590
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6591
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6592
 
6593
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6594
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6595
      data addresses for the board.
6596
 
6597
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6598
 
6599
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6600
 
6601
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6602
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6603
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6604
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6605
         PackageFile
6606
 
6607
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6608
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6609
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6610
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6611
 
6612
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6613
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6614
      to be installed and packaged.
6615
 
6616
Minor changes:
6617
 
6618
    * cache_dpkg utility
6619
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6620
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6621
 
6622
    * label utility
6623
      New option -auto to create and label
6624
 
6625
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6626
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6627
 
6628
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6629
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6630
      directory. ie:
6631
 
6632
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6633
 
6634
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6635
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6636
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6637
 
6638
 
6639
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6640
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6641
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6642
Major changes:
6643
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6644
 
6645
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6646
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6647
 
6648
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6649
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6650
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6651
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6652
 
6653
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6654
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6655
      compilation.
6656
 
6657
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6658
 
6659
Minor changes:
6660
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6661
      one is being produced.
6662
 
6663
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6664
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6665
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6666
 
6667
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6668
 
6669
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6670
 
6671
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6672
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6673
 
6674
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6675
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6677
Major changes:
6678
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6679
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6680
 
6681
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6682
 
6683
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6684
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6685
      same directory
6686
 
6687
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6688
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6689
      documenattion.
6690
 
6691
Minor changes:
6692
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6693
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6694
 
6695
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6696
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6697
 
6698
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6699
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6700
 
6701
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6702
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6703
 
6704
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6705
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6706
      be exempt from this test.
6707
 
6708
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6709
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6710
 
6711
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6712
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6713
 
6714
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6715
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6716
      does.
6717
 
6718
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6719
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6720
 
6721
 
6722
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6723
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6724
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6725
Major changes:
6726
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6727
 
6728
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6729
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6730
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6731
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6732
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6733
 
6734
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6735
      operations.
6736
 
6737
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6738
 
6739
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6740
 
6741
Minor changes
6742
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6743
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6744
 
6745
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6746
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6747
      directory is not added to the library path.
6748
 
6749
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6750
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6751
 
6752
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6753
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6754
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6755
 
6756
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6757
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6758
      specific flags.
6759
 
6760
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6761
 
6762
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6763
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6764
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6765
 
6766
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6767
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6768
      JATS.
6769
 
6770
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6771
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6772
 
6773
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6774
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6775
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6776
 
6777
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6778
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6779
 
6780
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6781
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6782
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6783
 
6784
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6785
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6786
 
6787
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6788
 
6789
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6790
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6791
 
6792
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6793
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6794
      objects.
6795
 
6796
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6797
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6798
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6799
      build defendants.
