228
Minor changes:
229
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
230
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
231
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
232
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
233
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
234
 
235
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
236
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.
237
 
238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3987 dpurdie 239

245
      Added options:
246
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
247
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
248
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
249
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
250
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
251
      Report filter elements that are not used.
252
 
253
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
254
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
255
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
256
 
257
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
258
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
259
 
260

3967 dpurdie 261
Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
262
------------------------------------------------------------------------
263
Major changes:
264
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
265
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
266
      intended to build deployed software.
267
 
268
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
269
      the DEVLINUX alias.
270
 
271
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
272
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
273
 
274
Minor changes:
275
    * Jats wrapper script
276
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
277
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
278
      Subversion instance of the command.
279
 
280
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
281
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
282
 
283
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
284
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
285
 
286

288
      file under windows.
289
 
290
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
291
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
292
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
293
 
294
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
295
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
296
 
297
    * GCC Toolchain
298
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.
299

Major changes:
315
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
316
      Support for Intellect PAX.
317
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
318
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
319
 
320
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
321
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.
322

3559 dpurdie 330
 
331
Minor changes:
332
    * Utility: jats sandbox
333
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
334
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
335
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
336
      line.
337
 
338
    * Jats Configuration
339
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.

353
Minor changes:
354
    * Jats Core
355
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
356
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
357
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
358
 
359
    * Utility: svnsave_build
360
      Used only by the build daemons.
361

362
 
363
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
364
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
365
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

370
Major changes:
371
 
372
Minor changes:
373
    * svnrelease utility
374
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
375
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
376
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.

      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
379
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
380
      the named tag.
381
 
382
    * svnrelease utility
383
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
384
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

414
Minor changes:
415
    * Subversion Extraction
416
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
417
      directory of the tag.
418
 
419
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
420
      repository.
421
 
422
    * Subversion Support
423
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
424
      showing the user what to do.
425
 
426
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
427
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
428
      we have build support for this target.
429
 
430
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
431
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
432
 
433
Internal:
434
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
435
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
436

450
------------------------------------------------------------------------
451
Major changes:
452
 
453
Minor changes:
454
    * Makefile generation
455
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
456
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
457
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
458
      of warnings.
459
 
460
    * Makefile Generation
461
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
462

2429 dpurdie 469
------------------------------------------------------------------------
470
Major changes:
471
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
472
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
473
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
474
      these operations with a dedicated program.
475
 
476
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
477
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
478
      windows path scheme.
479
 
480
Minor changes:
481
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
482
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
483
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
484
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
485
 
486
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
487
        jats make clobber
488
      This operates as before.
489
 
490
    * Utility: escrow
491
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
492
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
493
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
494
 
495
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
496
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
497
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
498
 
499
    * Utility: svn : url
500
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
501
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
502
 
503
    * Utility: svn : import
504
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
505
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
506
 
507
    * Subversion Support
508
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
509
      showing the user what to do.
510
 
511
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
512
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
513
      repositories.

518
 
519
Minor changes:
520
    * Jats build
521
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
522
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
523
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
524
 
525
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 526
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 527

538
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
539
                 Can also display available branches.
540
 
2054 dpurdie 541
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

547
 
548
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
549
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
550
      Modified two options:
551
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
552
                        The named branch must not exist
553
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
554
                        The named branch must exist
555
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

Major changes:
591
    * Jats Version Number
592
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

606
Major changes:
607
    * Subversion support
608
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
609
      SubVersion. Changes include:
610
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
611
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
612
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
613
 
614
Minor changes:
615
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
616
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
617
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
618
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
619
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
620
 
621
    * Utility: svnsave_build
622
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
623
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
624
 
625
    * Linux support utilities
626
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
627
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
628

633
Major changes:
634
    * Subversion Repository location
635
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
636
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
637
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
638
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
639
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
640
 
641
Minor changes:
642
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
643
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
644
 
645
    * Utility: svnrelease
646
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
647
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
648
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
649
 
650
    * Utility: svnsave_build
651
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
652
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
653
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
654
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
655
 
656
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
657
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
658
 
659
    * Utility: sandbox
660
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
661
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
662
 
663
      Subcommand: populate
664
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
665
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
666
      sandbox.
667
 
668
    * Subversion Support
669
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
670
      repository is not supported.
671
 
672
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
673
      a progress indication.
674
 
675
    * Jats Online Documentation
676
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
677
      online documentation.
678
 
679
    * Generated makefiles
680
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

759
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
760
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
761
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
762
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
763
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
764

780
 
781
    * Utility ccrelease
782
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
783
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
784

814
------------------------------------------------------------------------
815
Major changes:
816
 
817
Minor changes:
818
    * Command: jats clobber
819
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
820
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
821
 
822
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
823
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
824
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
825
 
826
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
827
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
828
 
377 dpurdie 829
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
830
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
831
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 832
 
833
    * jats svnlabel
834
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
835
 
836
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
837
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
838
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
839
 
840
    * Built Daemon support
841
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
842
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
843

373 dpurdie 845
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
847
Major changes:
848
    * GCC Toolset
849
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
850
      New methodology is:
851
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
852
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
853
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
854
        as the main binary.
855
 
856
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
857
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
858
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
859
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
860
      both worlds.
861
 
862
Minor changes:
863
    * HTML Documentation
864
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.

Major changes:
875
    * Jats Sandbox
876
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
877
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
878
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
879
 
880
    * RIORDS Platform
881
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

994
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
995
 
996
    * jats build -noforce
997
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
998
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
999
      be forced.
1000
 
1001
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1002
 
1003
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1004
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1005
 
1006
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1007
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1008
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1009
 
1010
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1011
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1012
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1013
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1014

      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1017
      provide a cleaner workspace name.

1026
    * Toolset: CSharp
1027
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1028
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1029
      character.
1030
 
1031
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1032
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1033
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1034
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1035
      masking an error.
1036
 
1037
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1038
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1039
      enhancement.

1048
 
1049
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1050
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1051
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1052
 
1053
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1054
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1055
      packages.
1056
 
1057
    * make command: show
1058
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1059
      'jats make show' command.
1060
 
1061
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1062
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1063
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1064

    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
1104
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.

1285
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
1286
 
1287
    * BuildPlatform
1288
      New option: --NoToolSet
1289
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
1290
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
1291
 
1292
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
1293
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
1294
      need toolset specific information.
1295
 
1296
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
1297
 
1298
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

1304
 
1305
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
1306
      a ClearCase site.

      resulting in multiple builds.
1410
 
1411
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets

1417
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
1418
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
1419

1426
Minor changes:
1427
    * Jats label command
1428
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1429
      Not recommended for general use.
1430
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1431
      directories within the current view.
1432
 
1433
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1434
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1435
      elsewhere.
1436
 
1437
    * Jats save_build
1438
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1439
      the determination of a branch.
1440
 
1441
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1442
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1443
 
1444
    * Jats build
1445
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1446
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1447
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1448
 
1449
    * Borland6 toolset
1450
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1451
      to match the documented install location of:
1452
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1453
 
1454
    * Jats build
1455
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1456
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1457
      This is a very quick operation.
1458
 
1459
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1460
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1461
 
1462
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1463
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1464
      files are only recreated if need be.
1465
 
1466
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1467
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1468
      make the package.
1469
 
1470
    * Jats sandbox
1471
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1472
 
1473
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1474
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1475
 
1476
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1477
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1478
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1479
      is performed.
1480
 
1481
Internal:
1482
    * build.pl

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1519
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1520
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1521
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1522
 
1523
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1524
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1525
 
1526
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1527
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1528
      platform builds.
1529

      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1532
      directory tree.
1533

1548
Major changes:
1549
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1550
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1551
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1552
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1553
 
1554
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1555
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1556
 
1557
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1558
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1559
 
1560
      Examples:
1561
            jats upddep -show
1562
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1563
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1564
 
1565
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1566
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1567
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1568
 
1569
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1570
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.

1595
Minor changes:
1596
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1597
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1598
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1599
      directive.
1600
 
1601
    * GCC Toolkit
1602
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1603
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1604
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1605
      the point of termination.
1606
 
1607
    * Jats save_build utility
1608
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1609
      under windows.
1610
 
1611
    * Jats sandbox
1612
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1613
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1614
      in different sandboxes.
1615
 
1616
    * Jats release
1617
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

1622
Major changes:
1623
 
1624
Minor changes:
1625
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1626
      Added -locatedir=name
1627
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1628
      directory.
1629
 
1630
    * jats label utility
1631
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1632
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1633
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1634
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1635
 
1636
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1637

315 dpurdie 1640
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1641
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 1642
 
1643
Minor changes:
1644
    * WinCe Toolsets
1645
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1646
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1647
        noExceptions            - Disable
1648
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1649
      Example:
1650
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1651
 
1652
    * Solaris targets
1653
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1654
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1655
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1656
      machine type.
1657
 
1658

1659
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1661
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1662
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1663
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1664
      project files.
1665
 
1666
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1667
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1668
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1669
 
1670
Minor changes:
1671
    * Added more internal documentation
1672
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1673
 
1674
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1675
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1676
 
1677
    * Jats save_build utility
1678
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1679
      under windows.
1680
 
1681
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1682
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1683
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1684
      libraries.
1685
 
1686
    * Solaris builds
1687
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1688
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1689
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1690
      of the build failure.
1691
 
1692
 
1693
Internal changes:
1694
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1695
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1696
 
1697
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1698
      PkgArchive topics.

1702
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1703
Major changes:
1704
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1705
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1706
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1707
      existing 32-bit builds.
1708
 
1709
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1710
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1711
 
1712
Minor changes:
1713
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1714
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1715
 
1716
    * Package searching
1717
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1718
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1719
 
1720
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1721
 
1722
    * jats help
1723
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1724
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1725
 
1726
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1727
      with one of:
1728
        jats -h
1729
        jats help jats
1730
 
1731
Internal:
1732
    * cmdfile utility
1733
      Added macros:
1734
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1735
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1736
 
1737
      Corrected
1738
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1739
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1740
 
1741
      Extended
1742
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1743
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1744
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1745
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Minor changes:
1753
 
1754
Internal changes
1755
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1756
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1757
      Useful side effects include:
1758
 
1759
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1760
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1761
 
1762
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1763
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1764
 
1765
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1766
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1767
        BuildPkgArchive
1768
 
313 dpurdie 1769
    * Perl Modules
1770
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1771
      release. This will:
1772
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1773
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1774
          reported by ERG.
1775
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
1783
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1784
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1785
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1786
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1787
 
1788
    * Jats label utility
1789
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1790
 
1791
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1792
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1793
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1794
 
1795
    * Jats core
1796
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1797
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1798
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1807
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1808
      This is now fixed.
1809
 
309 dpurdie 1810
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1811
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1812
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1813
 
1814
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1815
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1823
    * Generating makefiles
1824
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1825
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1826
      an error.
1827
 
1828
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1829
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1830
 
1831
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1832
      Highly specialized directive.

Major changes:
1839
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1840
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1841
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1842
 
1843
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1844
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1845
 
1846
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1847
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1848
      Support includes
1849
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1850
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1851
 
1852
Minor changes:
1853
    * Build file processing
1854
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1855
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1856
 
1857
    * MOS builds
1858
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1859
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1860
 
1861
    * MOS builds
1862
      New 'known' product: PICP
1863
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1864
 
1865
    * GenerateFiles directive
1866
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1867
        under windows.
1868
 
1869
        .
1870
 
1871
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1872
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1873
 
1874
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1875
      to the output stream.
1876
 
1877
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1878
 
1879
    * Windows Shell
1880
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1881
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1882
 
1883
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1884
 
1885
    * H8S toolset
1886
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1887
 
1888
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1889
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1890
 
1891
Internal changes
1892
    * WinCe builds
1893
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1894
      content of the file.
1895
 
1896
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1897
 
1898
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1899
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1911
Major changes:
1912
 
1913
Minor changes:
1914
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1915
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1916
      Changes are transparent to users.
1917
 
1918
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1919
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1920
      this occurs.
1921
 
1922
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1923
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1924
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1925
      automated build framework.
1926
 
1927
    * jats sandbox command
1928
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1929
      'create' command.
1930
 
1931
    * jats command aliases. Added
1932
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1933
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
1934

1937
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1938
Major changes:
1939
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1940
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1941
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1942
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1943
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1944
      will work as expected
1945
 
1946
Minor changes:
1947
    * VS2008 Toolset
1948
      Picking up incorrect config details
1949
      May result in a warning message.
1950
 
1951
    * gen_cots utility
1952
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1953
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1954
 
1955
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1956
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
1957
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

2003
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2004
Major changes:
2005
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2006
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2007
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2008
 
2009
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2010
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2011
 
2012
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2013
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2014
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2015
           names cannot be changed.
2016
 
2017
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2018
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2019
 
2020
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2021
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2022
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2023
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2024
 
2025
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2026
      file.
2027
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2028
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2029
      MyPackage.dpk.
2030
 
2031
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2032
      file.
2033
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2034
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2035
      MyDll.dpr.
2036
 
2037
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2038
      file.
2039
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2040
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2041
      MyProg.dpr.
2042
 
2043
Minor changes:
2044
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2045
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2046
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2047
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2048
 
2049
    * BuildVersion directive
2050
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2051
      in a Delphi Unit.
2052
 
2053
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2054
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2055
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2056
      'know' the location of the files.
2057
 
2058
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2059
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2060
 
2061
Internal Changes:
2062
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2063
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2064
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2065
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2066
 
2067
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2068
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2069
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2073
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2074
Major changes:
2075
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2076
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2077
      information for purely C++ builds.
2078
 
289 dpurdie 2079
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2080
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2081
 
289 dpurdie 2082
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2083
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2084
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2085
 
2086
Minor changes:
2087
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2088
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2089
 
2090
    * updatenodespec utility
2091
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2092

2117
Minor changes:
2118
    * MergeLibrary directive
2119

2128
Minor changes:
2129
    * New command: jats make show
2130
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2131
      used in the build.
2132
 
2133
    * Escrow command
2134
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2135
 
2136
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2137
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2138
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2139
 
2140
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2141
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2142
 
2143
------------------------------------------------------------------------
279 dpurdie 2144

277 dpurdie 2145
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2146
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2147
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2148
 
279 dpurdie 2149
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2150
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2151
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2152
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2153
 
2154
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2155
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2156
 
2157
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2158
 
2159
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2160
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2161
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2162
 
2163
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2164
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2165
        processed.
2166
 
2167
      Removed the '-delete' option
2168
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2169
 
277 dpurdie 2170
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2171
    * Sandbox command
2172
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2173
 
2174
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2175
      target from consideration in the build set.
2176
 
2177
    * MCR Toolset
2178
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2179
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2180
 
2181
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2182
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2183
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2184
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2185
 
2186
    * Jats run_test command
2187
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2188
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2189
 
2190
    * descpkg file
2191
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2192
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2193
 
2194
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2195
     Now contains build trace information
2196
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2197
 
2198
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2199
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2200
     it contains 'jar' files.
2201
 
2202
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2203
 
2204
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2205
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2206
 
2207
   * BuildVersion directive
2208
     Form:
2209
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2210
     now works as expected.
2211
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2212
 
2213
Internal Changes:
2214
 
2215
    * Error reporting mechanism
2216
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2217
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2218
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
2228
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
2229
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
2230
    then starts.
2231
 
2232
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2233
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2234
 
2235
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2236
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2237
    non-platform option.
2238
 
279 dpurdie 2239
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

2253
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
2254
 
2255
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
2256
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
2257
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
2258
 
2259
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
2260
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
2261
 
2262
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
2263
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
2264
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform

2266
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
2267
 
2268
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh

      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
2270
      to the invoked application.
2271
 
2272
Internal Changes:
2273
    * JatsCopy Package

2378
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2379
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
2380
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation
2381

2394
 
2395
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
2396
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]

        define_source_file              (Default)
2402
 
2403
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2404
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2405
 
2406
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
2407

2414
            --InstallProg=list
2415
 
2416
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
2417
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
2418
      GenerateCab.
2419
 
2420

2497
 
2498
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
2499
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
2500
      programs.
2501
 
2502
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
2503
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

2530
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
2531
 
2532
      Suggested new usage:
2533
        jats etool jats_save_build
2534

2552
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
2553
      time.
2554
 
2555
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
2556
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

Internal Changes:
2571
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
2572
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2573
      Previously was being done at two places
2574
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2575
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
2576
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
2577
 
2578
    * JATS make: Command line
2579
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2580

2588
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
2589
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
2590
        + Consistent use of option parsing
2591

2614
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
2615
 
2616
    * FileUtils package.
2617
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.

2637
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2638
 
2639

2651
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2652
 
2653
      New platforms:
2654
        CSHARP2005
2655
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2656
         Support extends to allow:
2657
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2658
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2659
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2660
 
2661
        VS2005
2662
         Support extends to allow:
2663
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2664
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2665
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2666
 
2667
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2668
      through a version selector:
2669
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2670
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2671
 
2672
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2673
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2674
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2675
 
2676
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2677
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2678
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2679
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2680
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2681
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2682
          under VS2005.
2683
 
2684
Minor changes:
2685
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
2686
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
2687
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
2688
 
2689
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2690
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2691
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2692
 
2693
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2694
 
2695
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2696
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2697
 
2698
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2699
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2700
      a minimal value of perl.
2701
 
2702
      Removed excessive require statements.
2703
 
2704
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2705
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2706
      Include JATS specific files for
2707
        1) Windows
2708
        2) Linux
2709
 
2710
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2711
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2712
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2713
      machines.
2714
 
2715
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2716
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2717
 
2718
    * JATS Environment
2719
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2720
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2721
 
2722
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2723
      wrapper scripts.
2724
 
2725
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2726
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2727
      Spell check help and code.

      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be non-numeric
2748
 
2749
    * GCC Toolset
2750
      Correct the operation of the assembler interface to 'gas' such that
2751
      options are passed correctly.
2752
 
2753
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
2754
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
2755
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
2756
      was added.
2757
 
2758
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
2759
      reviewing a new package.
2760
 
2761
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2762
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
2763
      automatically included in the source file list.
2764
 
253 dpurdie 2765
    * Toolset updates
2766
      Thyron and gnu_mpt. From An Tran.

249 dpurdie 2772
 
2773
Minor changes:
2774
    * PackageFile directive [DEVI-048037][DEVI-047541]
2775
      Now supports the packaging of files with ( or ) in the name
2776
 
2777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2778
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
2779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2780
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2781
  * New toolset and platform
2782
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2783
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2784
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2785
    this platform.
2786
 
2787
Minor changes:
2788
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2789
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2790
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2791
    work.
2792
 
2793
  * Jats utility: release
2794
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2795
    published to dpkg_archive.
2796
 
249 dpurdie 2797
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2798
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2799
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2800
    supported for ANT builds.
2801
 
2802
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2803
        releasemanager.releasename
2804
        releasemanager.projectname
2805
 
2806
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2807
    tagged data item of the form
2808
 
2809
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2810
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2811
 
2812
  * Mug File Generation
2813
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2814
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2815
 
2816
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2817
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2818
    required.
2819
 
2820
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2821
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2822
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2823
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2824
    the files in order to use them.
2825
 
2826
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2827
    locate the file.
2828
 
2829
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2830
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2831
 
2832
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2833
        * CSharp
2834
        * Properties
2835
        * WinRC
2836
 
2837
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2838
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2839
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2840
    Value is correctly assigned.
2841
 
2842
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2843
Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
2844
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2845
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2846
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2847
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2848
 
2849
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2850
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2851
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2852
 
2853
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2854
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2855
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2856
 
2857
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2858
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2859
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2860
 
2861
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2862
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2863
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2864
    correct.
2865
 
2866
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2867
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2868
 
2869
Minor changes:
2870
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2871
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2872
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2873
 
2874
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2875
    This will simplify new user setup.
2876
 
2877
  * All Unix Toolsets
2878
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2879
    on unix systems
2880
 
2881
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2882
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2883
    on some Solaris Machines.
2884
 
2885
  * JATS -version=<version>
2886
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2887
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2888

2931
 
2932
  * JATS builds
2933
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

2935
    mode.
2936
 
2937
  * JATS makefiles
2938
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2939
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2940
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2941
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2942
                            SetList directive.
2943

2952
 
2953
  * JATS buildfile processing
2954
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
2955
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
2956
    of JATS.

2991
    * MOS Toolset
2992
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
2993
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
2994

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3089
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3090
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3091
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3092
 
3093
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3094
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3095
 
3096
    * Jats wrapper
3097
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3098
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3103
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3104
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3105
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3106
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3107
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3108
 
3109
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3110
 
3111
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3112
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3113
 
3114
    * Running Jats
3115
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3116
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3117
      This may affect some windows developers.
3118
 
3119
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3120
      Future versions will generate an error.
3121
 
3122
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3123
 
3124
Minor changes:
3125
    * Perl Version Check
3126
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3127
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3128
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3129
 
3130
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3131
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3132
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3133
      build.
3134
 
3135
    * Jats Internals
3136
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3137
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3138
 
3139
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3140
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3141
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3142
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3143
      process.

3145
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3146
      Only works under Windows.
3147
 
3148
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3149
 
3150
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3151
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3152
 
3153
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3154
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3155
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3156
 
3157
    * Jats eprog
3158
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3159
      directory.
3160

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3168
Major changes:
3169
 
3170
Minor changes:
3171
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3172
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3173
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3174
      automated build system. New options are:
3175
        -pname=Package_Name
3176
        -pversion=Package_Version
3177
 
3178
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3179
      transferring the package. New options are:
3180
        -test
3181
 
3182
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3183
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3184
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3185
 
3186
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3187
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3188
 
3189
    * Solaris Toolset
3190
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3191
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3192
      programs are still supported.

3197
Major changes:
3198
 
3199
Minor changes:
3200
    * WINCE toolsets
3201
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3202
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3203
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3204
      when header files cannot be found.
3205
 
3206
    * GenerateFiles directive
3207
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3208
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3209
      that are difficult to solve.
3210
 
3211
    * MakePerlModule directive
3212
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3213
      to the the module builder.
3214
 
3215
    * Jats Tool: label
3216
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3217
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3218
      -dirs=xxx options.
3219
 
3220
    * Jats Tool: release
3221
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3222
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3223
 
3224
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3225
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3226
 
3227
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3228
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3229
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3230
 
3231
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
3238
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3239
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3240
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3241
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3242
 
3243
Minor changes:
3244
    * label utility
3245
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3246
 
3247
    * make package and install operations
3248
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3249
      transfer.
3250
 
3251
    * make clean up
3252
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3253
 
3254
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3255
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3256
      minor file transformations such as:
3257
        Copy, with optional rename
3258
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3259
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3260
 
3261
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3262
 
3263
    * jats release utility
3264
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3265
      in place.
3266
 
3267
    * escrow utility
3268
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3269
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
3277
    * Makefile generation
3278
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3279
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3280
      generate phase early.

3285
Major changes:
3286
 
3287
Minor changes:
3288
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3289
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3290
 
3291
    * Makefile generation
3292
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3293
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3294
 
3295
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3296
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3297
 
3298
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3299
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3300
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3301
 
3302
    * jats_rewrite utility
3303
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3304
 
3305
    * jats escrow utility
3306
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3307
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3308
 
3309
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3310
      inconsistent packages.
3311
 
3312
    * jats make help
3313
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3314
      available within the current build.
3315
 
3316
    * jats makefiles
3317
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3318
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3319
 
3320
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3321
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3322
 
3323
    * gcc toolset
3324
      SharedLibries.
3325
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3326
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3327
 
3328
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3329
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3330
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3331
 
3332
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3333
        New options:
3334
            --MultiScan
3335
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3336
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3337
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

3343
Major changes:
3344
 
3345
Minor changes:
3346
    PackageLib directive
3347
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3348
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3349
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3350
 
3351
    MakefileGenerate directive
3352
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3353
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3354
 
3355
    Multiple Parent detection
3356
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3357
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3358
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3359
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3360
 
3361
    Solaris Toolset
3362
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3363
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3364
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3365
    link.
3366
 
3367
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3368
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3369
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3370
 
3371
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3372
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3373
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3374
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3379
Major changes:
3380
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3381
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3382
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3383
 
3384
    Summary of changes:
3385
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3386
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3387
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3388
          flexibility.
3389
 
3390
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3391
 
3392
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3393
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3394
          interface directory and associated build information.
3395
 
3396
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3397
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3398
          than one second.
3399
 
3400
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3401
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3402
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3403
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3404
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3405
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3406
 
3407
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3408
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3409
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3410
 
3411
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3412
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3413
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3414
          building them.
3415
 
3416
        - Detection of build file changes
3417
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3418
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3419
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3420
 
3421
        - Quieter make output
3422
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3423
 
3424
 
3425
Minor changes:
3426
    MakeAnt Directive
3427
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3428
 
3429
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3430
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3431
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3432
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3433
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3434
 
3435
    CSHARP toolset
3436
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3437

Minor changes:
3444
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3445
    are generated.
3446
 
3447
    MakeAnt
3448
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3449
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3450
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3451
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3452
 
3453
    MCR platform

3462
Minor changes:
3463
    MakeAnt directive extended
3464
    New option: --PackageBase
3465
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3466
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3467
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3468
 
3469
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3470
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3471
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3472
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
3492
 
3493
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3494
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3495
 
3496
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3497
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3498
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3499
 
3500
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3501
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3502
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3503
    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
3532
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3533
 
3534
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3535
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched

3562
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3563
Major changes:
3564
 
3565
Minor changes:
3566
    * Solaris Toolset
3567
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3568
      dependent packages.
3569
 
3570
    * RunTest operation
3571
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3572
 
3573
    * Csharp toolkit
3574
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too

3577
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
3578
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3579
Major changes:
3580
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3581
 
3582
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3583
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3584
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3585
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3586
      path.
3587
 
3588
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3589
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3590
      reproducible.
3591
 
3592
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3593
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3594
 
3595
      There are several aspects to the change
3596
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3597
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3598
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3599
 
3600
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3601
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3602
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3603
          controlled separately.
3604
 
3605
Minor changes:
3606
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3607
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3608
        Remove duplicates
3609
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3610

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3613
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3614
Major changes:
3615
 
3616
Minor changes:
3617
    * Makefile sanity test
3618
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3619
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3620
 
3621
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3622
      x86 machine.
3623
 
3624
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3625
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3626
 
3627
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3628
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3629
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3630
Major changes:
3631
    * RunTest directive
3632
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3633
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3634
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3635
 
3636
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3637
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3638
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3639
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3640
 
3641
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3642
        builder within the current toolset.
3643
 
3644
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3645
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3646
 
3647
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3648
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3649
      containing the RunTest directive.
3650
 
3651
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3652
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3653
 
3654
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3655
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3656
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3657
 
3658
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3659
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3660
                            P or D suffix.
3661
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3662
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3663
 
3664
Minor changes:
3665
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3666
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3667
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3668
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3669
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3670
 
3671
    * Save Build Utility
3672
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3673
      used in a ripple build.
3674
 
3675
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3676
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3677
 
3678
    * Release Utility
3679
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3680
      when an error is encountered.
3681
 
3682
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3683
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3684
 
3685
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3686
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3687
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3688
 
3689
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3690
      before the makefiles are created.
3691
 
3692
    * TestProg directive
3693
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3694
 
3695
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3696
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3697

3700
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3701
Major changes:
3702
    * New build target
3703
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3704
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3705
 
3706
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3707
            DEVLINUX
3708
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3709
 
3710
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3711
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3712
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3713
 
3714
Minor changes:
3715
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3716
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3717
 
3718
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3719
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3720
 
3721
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3722
      and .cs files.
3723
 
3724
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3725
      thing.
3726
 
3727
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3728
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3729
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3730
      were it places temp files.
3731
 
3732
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3733
      interaction with other builds.
3734
 
3735
    * Release utility command
3736
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3737
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3738
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3755
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3756
 
3757
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3758
    as a Script.

3799
  * Deployment
3800
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3801
 
3802
  * build.pl
3803
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3804
 
3805
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3806
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3807
 
3808
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3809
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3810
    build.
3811
 
3812
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3813
 
3814
  * Tool: escrow
3815
     New features

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

            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4322
 
4323
        - OPTIONS=purify
4324
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4325
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4326
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
4331
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4332
Major changes:
4333
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4334
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4335
    Example:
4336
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4337
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4338
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4339
 
4340
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4341
    been determined.
4342
 
4343
Minor changes:
4344
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4345
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4346
    located at build-time.
4347
 
4348
  * Unix based systems
4349
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4350
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4351
 
4352
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4353
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4354
    driver being built.

    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4385
 
4386
    GenerateFiles.
4387
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4388
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4389
                      be run on every invocation.

4401
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4402
 
4403
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4404
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default

4416
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4417
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4418
    It is based on machine type.
4419
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4420
 
4421
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4422
 
4423

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4451
 
4452
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4453
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4454
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4455
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4456
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4457
 
4458
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4459
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4460
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4461
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4462
 
4463
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4464
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

4476
 
4477
 
4478
Minor changes:
4479
  * JATS wrapper script
4480
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4481
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4482
    to setup links to system programs.
4483

    Added CompileOptions
4505
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4506
        no_misalign         - Default
4507
 
4508
        multithread         - Default
4509
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking

        debug_debuginfo
4523
 
4524
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4525
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4526
    Theses are:
4527
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4528
        SOLARIS_AMD
4529
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4530
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4531
 
4532
Minor changes:
4533
  * AT3232 toolset
4534
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

4543
Major changes:
4544
 
4545
Minor changes:
4546
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4547
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4548
    messages
4549
 
4550
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4551
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4552
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4553
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4554

4558
Major changes:
4559
 
4560
Minor changes:
4561
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4562
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4563
    library without creating the body of the library:
4564
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4565
 
4566
 
4567
  * MOS toolsets
4568
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4569
    library without creating the body of the library:
4570
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4571
 
4572
  * JATS BIN directories
4573
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4574
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4575
    using autoconf.
4576
 
4577
  * Generate directive
4578
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4579
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4580
 
4581
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4582

4587
Major changes:
4588
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4589
    Initial release.

4596
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4597
Major changes:
4598
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4599
    Initial release.
4600
 
4601
  * Packaging directives
4602
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4603
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4604
 
4605
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4606
        SOLARIS
4607
        WIN32
4608
 
4609
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4610
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4611
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4612
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4613
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4614
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4615
 
4616
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4617
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4618
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4619
 
4620
 
4621
Minor changes:
4622
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4623
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4624
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4625
 
4626
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4627
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4628
    location
4629
 
4630
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4631
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4632
 
4633
  * Utility genrc
4634
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4635
 
4636
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4637
    Added option: -new
4638
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4639
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4640
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4641
 
4642
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4643
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4644
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4645
 
4646
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4647
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4648
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4649
 
4650
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4651
   features - in a uniform manner.
4652
 
4653
 
4654
Internal Changes:
4655
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4656
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4657
 
4658
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4659
        1) Platform information available at build time
4660
        2) Dynamic platform names
4661
 
4662
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4663
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4664
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4665
 
4666
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4667
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4668
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4669
 
4670
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4671
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4672
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4673
    needed.
4674
 
4675
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4676
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4677
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4678
    files from all of these.
4679

4681
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

4683
Major changes:
4684
 
4685
Minor changes:
4686
  * WinCE toolset
4687
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4688
 
4689
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4690
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4692
Major changes:
4693
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4694
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4695
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4696
 
4697
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4698
 
4699
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4700
    the operations.
4701
 
4702
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4703
 
4704
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4705
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4706
 
4707
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4708
 
4709
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4710
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4711
 
4712
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4713
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4714
    Extended the built-in help
4715
    Added useful error messages
4716
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4717
 
4718
  * WinCE toolset
4719
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4720
 
4721
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4722
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4723
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4724
 
4725
Minor changes:
4726
  * JATS wrapper script
4727
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4728
    the command line.
4729
 
4730
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4731
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4732
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4733
 
4734
Internal Changes:
4735
  * Common Error Reporting
4736
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4737
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4738
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4739
    level.
4740
 
4741
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4742
    displayed.
4743
 
4744
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4745
 
4746
  * Added JatsSystem module
4747
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4748

4767
Major changes:
4768
 
4769
Minor changes:
4770
  * BR Compiler toolset
4771
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4772
    use.
4773
 
4774
 
4775
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4776
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4778
Major changes:
4779
 
4780
Minor changes:
4781
  * Mictotec toolset
4782
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4783
    builds.
4784
 
4785
  * JATS Core
4786
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4787
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4788
    behaviour.
4789
 
4790
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4791
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4792
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4793
Major changes:
4794
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4795
    Deployment package will be affected.
4796
 
4797
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4798
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4799
 
4800
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4801
 
4802
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4803
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4804
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4805
    packages.
4806
 
4807
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4808
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4809
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4810
 
4811
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4812
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4813
 
4814
Minor changes:
4815
  * SubDir directive
4816
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4817
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4818
 
4819
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4820
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4821
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4822
    of the file usage.
4823
 
4824
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4825
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4826
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4827
 
4828
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4829
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4830
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4831
 
4832
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4833
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4834
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4835
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4836
 
4837
 
4838
Internal Changes:
4839
  * Code refactor
4840
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4841
 
4842
  * Deployment utilities
4843
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4844
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4845
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4846
    the module can locate the file.
4847
 
4848
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4849
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4850
 
4851
  * JATS core
4852
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4853
 
4854
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4855
 
4856
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4857
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4858
    through the use of environment variables.
4859
 
4860
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4861
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4862
 
4863
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4864
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4865
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4866
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4867
 
4868
  * Make environment
4869
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4870
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4871
 
4872
 
4873
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4874
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4876
Major changes:
4877
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4878
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4879
 
4880
 
4881
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4882
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4883
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4884
 
4885
Not Released.
4886
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4887
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4888
 
4889
 
4890
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4891
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4892
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4893
Major changes:
4894
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4895
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4896
    radically replaced.
4897
 
4898
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4899
    Usage:
4900
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4901
 
4902
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4903
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4904
    this solution:
4905
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4906
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4907
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4908
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4909
 
4910
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4911
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4912
    order to work.
4913
 
4914
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4915
    reduced functionality.
4916
 
4917
 
4918
Minor changes:
4919
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4920
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4921
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4922
 
4923
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4924
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4925
    within the makefiles.
4926
        Options:
4927
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4928
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4929
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4930
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4931
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4932
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4933
        Useage:
4934
 
4935
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4936
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4937
 
4938
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4939
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4940
    is not in the current directory.
4941
 
4942
  * Jats Command: ant'
4943
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4944
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4945
 
4946
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4947
 
4948
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4949
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4950
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4951
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4952
 
4953
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4954
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4955
    Thus
4956
 
4957
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4958
 
4959
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4960
 
4961
 
4962
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4963
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4964
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4965
Major changes:
4966
 
4967
Minor changes:
4968
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4969
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4970
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4971
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4972
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4973
 
4974
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4975
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4976
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4977
 
4978
Internal changes:
4979
  * JATS toolsets
4980
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4981
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4982
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4983
 
4984
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4985
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4986
 
4987
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4988
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4989
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4990
Major changes:
4991
  * Jats command: etool
4992
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4993
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4994
 
4995
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4996
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4997
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4998
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4999
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5000
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5001
 
5002
Minor changes:
5003
 
5004
 
5005
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5006
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5007
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5008
Major changes:
5009
  * JATS environment variables
5010
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5011
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5012
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5013
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5014
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5015
 
5016
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5017
              Remote repository
5018
 
5019
    Added GBE_DPLY
5020
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5021
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5022
 
5023
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5024
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5025
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5026
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5027
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5028
 
5029
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5030
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5031
 
5032
 
5033
Minor changes:
5034
  * JATS utility: build
5035
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5036
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5037
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5038
 
5039
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5040
    Ensure label is not locked
5041
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5042
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5043
 
5044
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5045
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5046
    to a specific type of build.
5047
 
5048
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5049
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5050
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5051
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5052
 
5053
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5054
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5055
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5056
 
5057
  * JATS utility: release
5058
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5059
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5060
 
5061
  * JATS utility: label
5062
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5063
    when it is being created.
5064
 
5065
Internal Changes
5066
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5067
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5068
 
5069
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5070
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5071
 
5072
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5073
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5074
    different results.
5075
 
5076
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5077
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5078
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5079
 
5080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5081
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5083
Major changes:
5084
 
5085
  * MCR toolset
5086
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5087
 
5088
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5089
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5090
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5091
Major changes:
5092
  * WIN32 utilities
5093
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5094
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5095
 
5096
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5097
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5098
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5099
 
5100
Minor changes:
5101
  * BuildVersion
5102
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5103
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5104
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5105
 
5106
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5107
 
5108
  * Unix Builds
5109
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5110
    library or a shared library.
5111
 
5112
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5113
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5114
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5115
    start with 'lib'.
5116
 
5117
  * BuildPkgArchive
5118
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5119
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5120
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5121
 
5122
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5123
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5124
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5125
Major changes:
5126
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5127
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5128
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5129
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5130
    being manually maintained.
5131
 
5132
 
5133
Minor changes:
5134
  * MakeAnt directive
5135
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5136
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5137
    supports ANT builds.
5138
 
5139
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5140
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5141
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5142
 
5143
  * Label utility
5144
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5145
    files to be labeled.
5146
 
5147
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5148
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5149
    on Solaris.
5150
 
5151
  * Generated makefiles
5152
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5153
    nothing.
5154
 
5155
  * MOS Toolset
5156
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5157
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5158
    modules.
5159
 
5160
  * Utility: gen_cots
5161
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5162
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5163
 
5164
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5165
 
5166
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5167
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5168

5170
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5171
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5172
Major changes:
5173
  None
5174
 
5175
Minor changes:
5176
  * DEVI addressed
5177
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5178
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5179
 
5180
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5181
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5182
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5183
 
5184
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5185
 
5186
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5187
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5188
 
5189
  * RunTest directive
5190
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5191
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5192
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5193
 
5194
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5195
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5196
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5197
    packaged under JATS
5198
 
5199
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5200
          supported within JATS.
5201
 
5202
  * Jats utility wrapper
5203
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5204
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5205
 
5206
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5207
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5208
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5209
 
5210
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5211
    Eg: jats ant
5212
 
5213
  * Jats utility wrapper
5214
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5215
 
5216
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5217
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5218
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5219
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5220
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5221
 
5222
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5223
    expect a build.pl file.
5224
 
5225
  * Jats utility wrapper
5226
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5227
 
5228
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5229
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5230
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5231
 
5232
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5233
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5234
 
5235
  * Build files
5236
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5237
    ERG extensions.
5238
 
5239
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5240
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5241
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5242
Major changes:
5243
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5244
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5245
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5246
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5247
 
5248
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5249
 
5250
Minor changes:
5251
  * None
5252
 
5253
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5254
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5256
Major changes:
5257
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5258
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5259
    ie:
5260
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5261
 
5262
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5263
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5264
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5265
    environments are compatible.
5266
 
5267
 
5268
Minor changes:
5269
  * BuildName option
5270
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5271
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5272
 
5273
  * jats.bat
5274
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5275
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5276
 
5277
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5278
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5279
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5280
Major changes:
5281
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5282
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5283
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5284
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5285
 
5286
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5287
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5288
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5289
 
5290
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5291
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5292
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5293
 
5294
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5295
    transferred.
5296
 
5297
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5298
    See notes below.
5299
 
5300
  * WIN32 toolset
5301
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5302
    correctly.
5303
 
5304
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5305
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5306
 
5307
  * BuildVersion
5308
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5309
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5310
    other langauges as needed.
5311
 
5312
 
5313
Minor changes:
5314
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5315
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5316
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5317
    version strings.
5318
 
5319
  * GenerateFiles directive
5320
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5321
    package or an imported package.
5322
 
5323
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5324
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5325
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5326
 
5327
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5328
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5329
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5330
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5331
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5332
 
5333
Internal Changes
5334
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5335
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5336
    of utilities.
5337
 
5338
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5339
    functions.
5340
 
5341
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5342
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5344
Major changes:
5345
  * Generated makefiles
5346
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5347
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5348
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5349
 
5350
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5351
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5352
    incorrectly processing:
5353
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5354
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5355
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5356
    confused.
5357
 
5358
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5359
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5360
    The construct
5361
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5362
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5363
    then it works.
5364
 
5365
  * MakeAnt directive
5366
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5367
 
5368
    This option has the following effects
5369
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5370
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5371
 
5372
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5373
           early - in the generated files phase.
5374
 
5375
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5376
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5377
 
5378
 
5379
Minor changes:
5380
  * JATS post-installation script
5381
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5382
 
5383
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5384
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5385
    windows.
5386
 
5387
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5388
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5389
 
5390
  * Jats wrapper script
5391
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5392
        1) Contain spaces
5393
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5394
 
5395
  * Toolset
5396
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5397
 
5398
  * JAVA toolset
5399
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5400
    directive:
5401
 
5402
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5403
 
5404
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5405
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5406
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5407
 
5408
  * GCC Toolset
5409
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5410
 
5411
  * Makefile generation
5412
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5413
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5414
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5415
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5416
    package could not be used.
5417
 
5418
  * Unit Tests
5419
    The following environment variables are set:
5420
 
5421
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5422
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5423
 
5424
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5425
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5426
 
5427
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5428
 
5429
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5430
 
5431
 
5432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5433
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5434
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5435
Major changes:
5436
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5437
 
5438
    Special features of this toolset.
5439
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5440
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5441
       incorporated within the target image.
5442
 
5443
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5444
       --Set=Name=Value
5445
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5446
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5447
 
5448
       --Ref=name
5449
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5450
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5451
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5452
                will be taken from the build version number.
5453
 
5454
Minor changes:
5455
  * MOS Toolset
5456
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5457
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5458
    packaged.
5459
 
5460
  * Src directive
5461
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5462
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5463
    specifier.
5464
 
5465
  * WIN32 runtime support
5466
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5467
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5468
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5469
 
5470
Internal:
5471
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5472
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5473
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5474
 
5475
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5476
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5477
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5478
Major changes:
5479
    * BuildAlias directive
5480
      Added options.
5481
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5482
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5483
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5484
                          targets.
5485
      Eg:
5486
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5487
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5488
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5489
 
5490
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5491
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5492
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5493
 
5494
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5495
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5496
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5497
 
5498
 
5499
Minor changes:
5500
  * Label utility
5501
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5502
    build.pl file
5503
 
5504
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5505
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5506
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5507
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5508
    --FilterIn option.
5509
 
5510
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5511
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5512
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5513
 
5514
  * Location of descpkg file
5515
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5516
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5517
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5518
 
5519
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5520
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5521
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5522
Major changes:
5523
  * RunTest directive
5524
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5525
    Additional options
5526
      --CopyIn=file
5527
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5528
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5529
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5530
        the test area.
5531
 
5532
    Additional operations
5533
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5534
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5535
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5536
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5537
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5538
    Allows flags:
5539
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5540
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5541
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5542
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5543
 
5544
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5545
    existence is tested.
5546
 
5547
  * Packaging Directives
5548
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5549
    such as LMOS.
5550
 
5551
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5552
 
5553
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5554
 
5555
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5556
 
5557
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5558
 
5559
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5560
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5561
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5562
 
5563
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5564
 
5565
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5566
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5567
 
5568
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5569
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5570
 
5571
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5572
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5573
 
5574
Minor changes:
5575
  * Script directive
5576
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5577
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5578
 
5579
  * JATS environment
5580
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5581
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5582
    the JATS wrapper script.
5583
 
5584
  * Label utility
5585
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5586
    There are three modes of operation:
5587
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5588
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5589
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.

5593
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5594
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5595
Major changes:
5596
 
5597
Minor changes:
5598
  * label utility
5599
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5600
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5601
 
5602
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5603
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5604
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5605
      --ProgLoader=name
5606
 
5607
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5608
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5609
    Options to do this are:
5610
        --TreeDir=name
5611
        --FilterOut=regexp
5612
        --FilterIn=regexp
5613
        --StripDir
5614
 
5615
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5616
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5617
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5618
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5619
 
5620
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5621
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5622
 
5623
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5624
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5625
 
5626
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5627
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5628
 
5629
 
5630
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5631
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5633
Major changes:
5634
    * Make commands
5635
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5636
 
5637
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5638
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5639
 
5640
    * Label utility
5641
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5642
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5643
 
5644
Minor changes:
5645
    * Toolsets
5646
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5647
      variables and overrides.
5648
 
5649
      The make_init target is always run.
5650
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5651
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5652
 
5653
    * Deployment
5654
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5655
      with deployment operations.
5656
 
5657
    * Release utility
5658
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5659
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5660
      restricted by options within the build.
5661
 
5662
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5663
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5664
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5665
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5666
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5667
 
5668
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5669
      directives.
5670
 
5671
    * MakeProject directive
5672
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5673
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5674
 
5675
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5676
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5677
      is preserved.
5678
 
5679
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5680
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5681
      statements.
5682
 
5683
    * Mugfile generation
5684
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5685
      be placed in the target package.
5686
 
5687
 
5688
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5689
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5690
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5691
Major changes:
5692
    * BuildVersion directive
5693
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5694
      number as well as a patch number.
5695
 
5696
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5697
      number.
5698
 
5699
Minor changes:
5700
    * AddFlags directives
5701
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5702
      duplicate flags being added.
5703
 
5704
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5705
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5706
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5707
 
5708
    * Mug File Generation
5709
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5710
 
5711
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5712
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5713
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5714
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5715
     directory.
5716
 
5717
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5718
     reproducible.
5719

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5721
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5722
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5723
Major changes:
5724
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5725
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5726
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5727
      longer a list of directories.
5728
 
5729
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5730
      done within the toolset.
5731
 
5732
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5733
 
5734
    * JATS environment variables
5735
      Redefined variable
5736
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5737
                          Previously was a list that included the
5738
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5739
 
5740
      New variable
5741
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5742
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5743
 
5744
 
5745
Minor changes:
5746
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5747
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5748
      target platforms to be extracted.
5749
 
5750
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5751
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5752
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5753
 
5754
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5755
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5756
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5757
 
5758
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5759
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5760
 
5761
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5762
      Support ANT based XML files
5763
 
5764
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5765
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5766
      structure.
5767
 
5768
    * makefile.pl's
5769
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5770
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5771
 
5772
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5773
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5774
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5775
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5776
 
5777
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5778
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5779
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5780
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5781
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5782
      -- Auto.
5783
 
5784
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5785
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5786
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5787
 
5788
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5789
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5790
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5791
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5792
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5793
 
5794
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5795
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5796
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5797
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5798
      installed on the machine.
5799
 
5800
    * WINCE Targets
5801
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5802
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5803
 
5804

5808
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5809
Major changes:
5810
    * WIN32 platforms
5811
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5812
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5813
      and installed packages.
5814
 
5815
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5816
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5817
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5818
 
5819
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5820
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5821
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5822
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5823
      searched when looking for libraries.
5824
 
5825
Minor changes:
5826
    * GenerateFiles directive
5827
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5828
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5829
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5830
                          and drive letter
5831
 
5832
    * Src directive
5833
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5834
      directory of a package.
5835
 
5836
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5837
 
5838
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5839
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5840
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5841
 
5842
    * jats_rewrite utility
5843
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5844
 
5845
 
5846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5847
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5848
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5849
Major changes:
5850
    * SunWorks production builds
5851
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5852
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5853
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5854
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5855
      compiler documentation.
5856
 
5857
    * MOS Toolset
5858
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5859
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5860
 
5861
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5862
 
5863
Minor changes:
5864
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5865
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5866
      This should not affect current users.
5867
 
5868
    * Mugfile generation
5869
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5870
      specified.
5871
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5872

5875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5876
Major changes:
5877
    MOS Toolset
5878
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5879
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5880
 
5881
Minor changes:
5882
    * Jats wrapper script
5883
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5884
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5885
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5886
 
5887
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5888
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5889
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5890
      may be suspect.
5891
 
5892
    * GenerateFiles directive
5893
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5894
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5895
 
5896
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5897
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5898
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5899
Major changes:
5900
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5901
      build.xml files.
5902
 
5903
Minor changes:
5904
    * WIN32 toolset.
5905
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5906
 
5907
    * MakeAnt
5908
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5909
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5910
 
5911
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5912
 
5913
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5914
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5915
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5916
 
5917
    * MakeAnt directive
5918
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5919
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5920
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5921
 
5922
      Recommended usage:
5923
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5924
 
5925
Internal Changes
5926
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5927

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5931
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5932
Major changes:
5933
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5934
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5935
      files packaged into the release.
5936
 
5937
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

5941
 
5942
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5943
      The recommended platform is:
5944
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5945
 
5946
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5947
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5948
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5949
      components.

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6301
Major changes:
6302
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6303
      This is a WINCE target
6304
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6305
 
6306
    * New toolset
6307
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6308
 
6309
    * Modified toolset
6310
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6311
 
6312
    * Modified toolset
6313
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6314
 
6315
Minor changes:
6316
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6317
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6318
 
6319
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6320
 
6321
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6322
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6323
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6324
 
6325
      The change allows the construct
6326
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6327
      to be replaced by the simpler
6328
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6329
 
6330
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6331
      specified name.    
6332

6351
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6352
Major changes:
6353
    * The "package.pl" file.
6354
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6355
      package name being taken from the build name
6356
 
6357
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6358
      package Build Name.
6359
 
6360
Minor changes:
6361
    * create_dpkg utility
6362
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists

Version: JATS_2.19.0                                Released: 08-Apr-05
6366
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6367
Major changes:
6368
 
6369
Minor changes:
6370
    * Dependancy generator
6371
      Correct two common situations
6372
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6373
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6374
           ansi, but is often done.
6375
 
6376
    * GCC toolset
6377
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6378
      being created in the correct place.
6379
 
6380
    * jats "label"
6381
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6382
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6383
 
6384
 
6385
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6386
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6387
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6388
Major changes:
6389
 
6390
Minor changes:
6391
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6392
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6393
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6394
 
6395
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6396
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6397
 
6398
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6399
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6400
      package was not being transferred.
6401
 
6402
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6403
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6404
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6405
Major changes:
6406
    * Support for solaris_i386
6407
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6408
      binaries for this target.
6409
 
6410
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6411
      with the GCC compiler.
6412
 
6413
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6414
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6415
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6416
 
6417
Minor changes:
6418
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6419
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6420
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6421
 
6422
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6423
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6424
 
6425
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6426
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6427
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6428
Major changes:
6429
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6430
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6431
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6432
 
6433
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6434
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6435
 
6436
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6437
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6438
      with either " or ' characters.
6439
 
6440
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6441
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6442
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6443
 
6444
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6445
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6446
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6447
 
6448
    * Jats wrapper
6449
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6450
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6451
      further commands.
6452
 
6453
Minor changes:
6454
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6455
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6456
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6457
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6458
 
6459
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6460
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6462
Major changes:
6463
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6464
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6465
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6466
 
6467
      These options operation affect all components within the
6468
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6469
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6470
 
6471
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6472
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6473
 
6474
Minor changes:
6475
 
6476
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6477
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6478
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6479
Major changes:
6480
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6481
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6482
 
6483
Minor changes:
6484
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6485
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6486
 
6487
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6488
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6489
 
6490
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6491
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6492
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6493
Major changes:
6494
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6495
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6496
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6497
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6498
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6499
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6500
      installed.
6501
 
6502
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6503
      libraries that depend on each other.
6504
 
6505
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6506
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6507
 
6508
Minor changes:
6509
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6510
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6511
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6512
 
6513
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6514
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6515
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6516
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6517
 
6518
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6519
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6521
Major changes:
6522
 
6523
Minor changes:
6524
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6525
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6526
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6527
      file.
6528
 
6529
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6530
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6531
 
6532
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6533
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6534
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6535
 
6536
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6537
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6538
 
6539
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6540
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6541
 
6542
    * WinCE toolsets
6543
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6544
      compiler specific libraries.
6545
 
6546
    * SOLARIS toolset
6547
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6548
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6549
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6550
 
6551
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6552
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6553
      cleaned up.
6554
 
6555
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6556
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6557
 
6558
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6559
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6560
      with either " or ' characters.
6561
 
6562
 
6563
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6564
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6565
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6566
Major changes:
6567
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6568
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6569
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6570
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6571
 
6572
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6573
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6574
 
6575
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6576
      user.
6577
 
6578
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6579
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6580
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6581
 
6582
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6583
      for the   -Gf option.
6584
 
6585
Minor changes:
6586
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6587
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6588
 
6589
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6590
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6591
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6592
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6593
 
6594
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6595
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6596
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6597
Major changes:
6598
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6599
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6600
 
6601
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6602
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6603
      data addresses for the board.
6604
 
6605
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6606
 
6607
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6608
 
6609
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6610
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6611
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6612
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6613
         PackageFile
6614
 
6615
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6616
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6617
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6618
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6619
 
6620
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6621
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6622
      to be installed and packaged.
6623
 
6624
Minor changes:
6625
 
6626
    * cache_dpkg utility
6627
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6628
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6629
 
6630
    * label utility
6631
      New option -auto to create and label
6632
 
6633
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6634
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6635
 
6636
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6637
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6638
      directory. ie:
6639
 
6640
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6641
 
6642
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6643
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6644
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6645
 
6646
 
6647
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6648
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6649
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6650
Major changes:
6651
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6652
 
6653
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6654
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6655
 
6656
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6657
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6658
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6659
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6660
 
6661
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6662
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6663
      compilation.
6664
 
6665
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6666
 
6667
Minor changes:
6668
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6669
      one is being produced.
6670
 
6671
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6672
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6673
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6674
 
6675
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6676
 
6677
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6678
 
6679
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6680
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6681
 
6682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6683
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6684
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6685
Major changes:
6686
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6687
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6688
 
6689
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6690
 
6691
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6692
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6693
      same directory
6694
 
6695
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6696
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6697
      documenattion.
6698
 
6699
Minor changes:
6700
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6701
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6702
 
6703
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6704
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6705
 
6706
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6707
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6708
 
6709
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6710
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6711
 
6712
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6713
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6714
      be exempt from this test.
6715
 
6716
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6717
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6718
 
6719
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6720
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6721
 
6722
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6723
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6724
      does.
6725
 
6726
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6727
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6728
 
6729
 
6730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6731
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6732
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6733
Major changes:
6734
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6735
 
6736
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6737
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6738
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6739
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6740
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6741
 
6742
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6743
      operations.
6744
 
6745
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6746
 
6747
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6748
 
6749
Minor changes
6750
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6751
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6752
 
6753
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6754
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6755
      directory is not added to the library path.
6756
 
6757
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6758
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6759
 
6760
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6761
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6762
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6763
 
6764
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6765
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6766
      specific flags.
6767
 
6768
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6769
 
6770
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6771
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6772
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6773
 
6774
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6775
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6776
      JATS.
6777
 
6778
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6779
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6780
 
6781
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6782
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6783
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6784
 
6785
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6786
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6787
 
6788
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6789
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6790
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6791
 
6792
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6793
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6794
 
6795
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6796
 
6797
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6798
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6799
 
6800
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6801
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6802
      objects.
6803
 
6804
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6805
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6806
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6807
      build defendants.
