255
Minor changes:
256
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
257
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
258
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
259
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
260
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
261
 
262
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
263
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.
264

273
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
274
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
275
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
276
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
277
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
278
      Report filter elements that are not used.
279

      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
282
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.

284
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
285
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
286
 
287
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
290
Major changes:
291
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
292
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
293
      intended to build deployed software.
294
 
295
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
296
      the DEVLINUX alias.
297
 
298
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
299
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
300
 
301
Minor changes:
302
    * Jats wrapper script
303
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
304
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
305
      Subversion instance of the command.
306
 
307
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
308
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
309
 
310
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
311
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.

315
      file under windows.

      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
319
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
320
 
321
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
322
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
323
 
324
    * GCC Toolchain
325
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

Major changes:
342
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
343
      Support for Intellect PAX.
344
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
345
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
346
 
347
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
348
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

358
Minor changes:
359
    * Utility: jats sandbox
360
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
361
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
362
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
363
      line.
364
 
365
    * Jats Configuration
366
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.

Version:  3.1.6000.cr                               Released: 05-Apr-13
377
------------------------------------------------------------------------
378
Major changes:
379
 
380
Minor changes:
381
    * Jats Core
382
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
383
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
384
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
385
 
386
    * Utility: svnsave_build
387
      Used only by the build daemons.
388
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
389
 
390
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
391
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
392
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
397
Major changes:
398
 
399
Minor changes:
400
    * svnrelease utility
401
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
402
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
403
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
404
 
405
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
406
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
407
      the named tag.
408
 
409
    * svnrelease utility
410
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
411
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

419
    * CHSHARP Toolset
420
      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
421
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
422
        covered by the makefile.
423
 
424
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
425
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
426
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
427
 
428
    * ALL Toolsets
429
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
430
 
431
    * Utility vcsdiff
432
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
433
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
434
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

441
Minor changes:
442
    * Subversion Extraction
443
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
444
      directory of the tag.
445
 
446
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
447
      repository.
448
 
449
    * Subversion Support
450
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
451
      showing the user what to do.
452
 
453
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
454
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
455
      we have build support for this target.
456
 
457
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
458
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
459
 
460
Internal:
461
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
462
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
463
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
464
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments
465

477
------------------------------------------------------------------------
478
Major changes:
479
 
480
Minor changes:
481
    * Makefile generation
482
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
483
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
484
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
485
      of warnings.
486
 
487
    * Makefile Generation
488
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
489
 
490
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
491
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

2429 dpurdie 496
------------------------------------------------------------------------
497
Major changes:
498
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
499
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
500
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
501
      these operations with a dedicated program.
502
 
503
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
504
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
505
      windows path scheme.
506
 
507
Minor changes:
508
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
509
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
510
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
511
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
512
 
513
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
514
        jats make clobber
515
      This operates as before.
516
 
517
    * Utility: escrow
518
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
519
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
520
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
521
 
522
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
523
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
524
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
525
 
526
    * Utility: svn : url
527
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
528
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
529
 
530
    * Utility: svn : import
531
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
532
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
533
 
534
    * Subversion Support
535
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
536
      showing the user what to do.
537
 
538
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
539
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
540
      repositories.
541

2078 dpurdie 543
Version:  3.0.5000.cr                               Released: 05-Oct-12

------------------------------------------------------------------------
545
 
546
Minor changes:
547
    * Jats build
548
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
549
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
550
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
551
 
552
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 553
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 554

560
 
561
Minor changes:
562
    * Utility: svn
563
      Added two subcommands
564
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
565
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
566
                 Can also display available branches.
567
 
2054 dpurdie 568
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
573
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
574
 
575
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
576
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
577
      Modified two options:
578
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
579
                        The named branch must not exist
580
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
581
                        The named branch must exist
582
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

616
 
617
Major changes:
618
    * Jats Version Number
619
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
620
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
621
      significantly.
622
 
623
Minor changes:
624
    * Makefile Generation
625
      Packing of directories filters out .svn subdirectories

633
Major changes:
634
    * Subversion support
635
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
636
      SubVersion. Changes include:
637
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
638
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
639
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
640
 
641
Minor changes:
642
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
643
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
644
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
645
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
646
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
647
 
648
    * Utility: svnsave_build
649
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
650
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
651
 
652
    * Linux support utilities
653
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
654
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
660
Major changes:
661
    * Subversion Repository location
662
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
663
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
664
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
665
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
666
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
667
 
668
Minor changes:
669
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
670
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
671
 
672
    * Utility: svnrelease
673
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
674
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
675
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
676
 
677
    * Utility: svnsave_build
678
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
679
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
680
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
681
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
682
 
683
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
684
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
685
 
686
    * Utility: sandbox
687
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
688
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
689
 
690
      Subcommand: populate
691
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
692
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
693
      sandbox.
694
 
695
    * Subversion Support
696
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
697
      repository is not supported.
698
 
699
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
700
      a progress indication.
701
 
702
    * Jats Online Documentation
703
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
704
      online documentation.
705
 
706
    * Generated makefiles
707
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

783
------------------------------------------------------------------------
784
Major changes:
785
 
786
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
787
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
788
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
789
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
790
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
791
 
792
    * C# Toolchain
793
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

803
 
804
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
805
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
806
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
807
 
808
    * Utility ccrelease
809
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
810
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
811
 
812
    * Utility: svn
813
      Improved package import processing.
814
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
815
 
816
    * Jats Utility: gen_cots
817
      Added support for Subversion.
818
      Subversion is supported on Windows and Unix.
819
      ClearCase is supported on Windows.
820
 
821
    * Jats Utility: vcsdiff
822
      New Utility. Will diff two versions of a package. Supports
823
      mixed ClearCase and Subversion versions.

Version:  2.99.1000.cr                               Released: 13-Jan-12
841
------------------------------------------------------------------------
842
Major changes:
843
 
844
Minor changes:
845
    * Command: jats clobber
846
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
847
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
848
 
849
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
850
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
851
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
852
 
853
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
854
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
855
 
377 dpurdie 856
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
857
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
858
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 859
 
860
    * jats svnlabel
861
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
862
 
863
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
864
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
865
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
866
 
867
    * Built Daemon support
868
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
869
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
870

373 dpurdie 872
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
873
------------------------------------------------------------------------
874
Major changes:
875
    * GCC Toolset
876
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
877
      New methodology is:
878
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
879
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
880
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
881
        as the main binary.
882
 
883
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
884
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
885
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
886
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
887
      both worlds.
888
 
889
Minor changes:
890
    * HTML Documentation
891
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
892
 
893
Internal changes:
894
    * Generated makefiles
895
      Removed the make_usage target as it is inaccessible. It was replaced by
896
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
901
Major changes:
902
    * Jats Sandbox
903
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
904
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
905
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
906
 
907

1020
    * HTML Help
1021
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1022
 
1023
    * jats build -noforce
1024
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1025
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1026
      be forced.
1027
 
1028
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1029
 
1030
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1031
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1032
 
1033
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1034
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1035
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1036
 
1037
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1038
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1039
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1040
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1041
 
1042
    * Utility: svnrelease
1043
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1044
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1045
 
1046
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1047
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1048
 
1049
    * Utility: svn
1050
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1051
      installed and can be used.
1052
 
1053
    * Toolset: CSharp
1054
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1055
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1056
      character.
1057
 
1058
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1059
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1060
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1061
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1062
      masking an error.
1063
 
1064
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1065
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1066
      enhancement.
1067
 
1068
    * Toolset: dafbr
1069
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing

1072
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1073
        - Return correct path to package
1074
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1075
 
1076
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1077
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1078
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1079
 
1080
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1081
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1082
      packages.
1083
 
1084
    * make command: show
1085
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1086
      'jats make show' command.
1087
 
1088
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1089
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1090
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1091
 
1092
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1093
      executed on Unix machines.

    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
1131
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
1132
 
1133
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.

1157
      in a package archive.
1158
 
1159
      Sub command: create
1160
      New option '-exact'. This will create a sandbox in which the package
1161
      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
1162
      package version.
1163
 
1164
      Command specific help
1165
      Each sub command now has its own help.

1315
      New option: --NoToolSet
1316
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
1317
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
1318
 
1319
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
1320
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
1321
      need toolset specific information.
1322
 
1323
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
1324

1454
    * Jats label command
1455
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1456
      Not recommended for general use.
1457
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1458
      directories within the current view.
1459
 
1460
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1461
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1462
      elsewhere.
1463
 
1464
    * Jats save_build
1465
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1466
      the determination of a branch.
1467
 
1468
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1469
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1470
 
1471
    * Jats build
1472
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1473
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1474
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1475
 
1476
    * Borland6 toolset
1477
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1478

        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1480
 
1481
    * Jats build
1482
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1483
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1484
      This is a very quick operation.
1485
 
1486
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1487
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1488
 
1489
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1490
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1491
      files are only recreated if need be.
1492
 
1493
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1494
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1495
      make the package.
1496
 
1497
    * Jats sandbox
1498
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1499
 
1500
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1501
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1502
 
1503
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1504
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1505
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1506
      is performed.
1507
 
1508

1546
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1547
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1548
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1549
 
1550
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1551
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly

1579
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1580
 
1581
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1582
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.

            jats upddep -show
1589
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1590
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1591
 
1592
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1593
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1594
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1595
 
1596
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1597
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1598
 
1599
Minor changes:
1600
 
1601
Internal changes:
1602
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
1603
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 1606
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
1607
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1608
Major changes:
1609
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1610
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1611
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1612
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1613
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1614
      stream.
1615
 
1616
      Example:
1617
 
1618
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1619
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1620
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1621
                     );
1622
Minor changes:
1623
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1624
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1625
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1626
      directive.
1627
 
1628
    * GCC Toolkit
1629
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1630
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1631
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1632
      the point of termination.
1633
 
1634
    * Jats save_build utility
1635
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1636
      under windows.
1637
 
1638
    * Jats sandbox
1639
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1640
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1641
      in different sandboxes.
1642
 
1643
    * Jats release
1644
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1645

1648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1649
Major changes:
1650
 
1651
Minor changes:
1652
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1653
      Added -locatedir=name
1654
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1655
      directory.
1656
 
1657
    * jats label utility
1658
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1659
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1660
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1661
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1662
 
1663
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1664

315 dpurdie 1667
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1668
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 1669
 
1670
Minor changes:
1671
    * WinCe Toolsets
1672
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1673
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1674
        noExceptions            - Disable
1675
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1676
      Example:
1677
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1678
 
1679
    * Solaris targets
1680
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1681
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1682
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1683
      machine type.
1684
 
1685
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1686
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1687
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1688
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1689
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1690
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1691
      project files.
1692
 
1693
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1694
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1695
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1696
 
1697
Minor changes:
1698
    * Added more internal documentation
1699
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1700
 
1701
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1702
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1703
 
1704
    * Jats save_build utility
1705
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1706
      under windows.
1707
 
1708
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1709
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1710
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1711
      libraries.
1712
 
1713
    * Solaris builds
1714
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1715
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1716
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1717
      of the build failure.
1718
 
1719
 
1720
Internal changes:
1721
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1722
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1723
 
1724
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1725
      PkgArchive topics.

1729
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1730
Major changes:
1731
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1732
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1733
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1734
      existing 32-bit builds.
1735
 
1736
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1737
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1738
 
1739
Minor changes:
1740
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1741
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1742
 
1743
    * Package searching
1744
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1745
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1746
 
1747
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1748
 
1749
    * jats help
1750
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1751
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1752
 
1753
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1754
      with one of:
1755
        jats -h
1756
        jats help jats
1757
 
1758
Internal:
1759
    * cmdfile utility
1760
      Added macros:
1761
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1762
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1763
 
1764
      Corrected
1765
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1766
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1767
 
1768
      Extended
1769
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1770
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1771
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1772
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

1777
Major changes:
1778
 
1779
Minor changes:
1780
 
1781
Internal changes
1782
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1783
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1784
      Useful side effects include:
1785
 
1786
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1787
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1788
 
1789
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1790
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1791
 
1792
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1793
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1794
        BuildPkgArchive
1795
 
313 dpurdie 1796
    * Perl Modules
1797
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1798
      release. This will:
1799
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1800
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1801
          reported by ERG.
1802
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

1807
Major changes:
1808
 
1809
Minor changes:
1810
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1811
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1812
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1813
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1814
 
1815
    * Jats label utility
1816
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1817
 
1818
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1819
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1820
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1821
 
1822
    * Jats core
1823
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1824
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1825
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 1833
    * CSHARP toolset
1834
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1835
      This is now fixed.
1836
 
309 dpurdie 1837
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1838
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1839
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1840
 
1841
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1842
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
1843
 
1844

1849
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1850
    * Generating makefiles
1851
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1852
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1853
      an error.
1854
 
1855
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1856
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1857
 
1858
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1859
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 1860
      Refer the JATS Manual.

1865
Major changes:
1866
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1867
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1868
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1869
 
1870
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1871
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1872
 
1873
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1874
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1875
      Support includes
1876
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1877
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1878
 
1879
Minor changes:
1880
    * Build file processing
1881
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1882
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1883
 
1884
    * MOS builds
1885
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1886
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1887
 
1888
    * MOS builds
1889
      New 'known' product: PICP
1890
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1891
 
1892
    * GenerateFiles directive
1893
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1894
        under windows.
1895
 
1896
        .
1897
 
1898
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1899
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1900
 
1901
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1902
      to the output stream.
1903
 
1904
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1905
 
1906
    * Windows Shell
1907
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1908
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1909
 
1910
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1911
 
1912
    * H8S toolset
1913
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1914
 
1915
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1916
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1917
 
1918
Internal changes
1919
    * WinCe builds
1920
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1921
      content of the file.
1922
 
1923
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1924
 
1925
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1926
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1938
Major changes:
1939
 
1940
Minor changes:
1941
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1942
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1943
      Changes are transparent to users.
1944
 
1945
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1946
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1947
      this occurs.
1948
 
1949
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1950
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1951
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1952
      automated build framework.
1953
 
1954
    * jats sandbox command
1955
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1956
      'create' command.
1957
 
1958
    * jats command aliases. Added
1959
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1960
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
1961

      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1968
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1969
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1970
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1971
      will work as expected

2030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2031
Major changes:
2032
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2033
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2034
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2035
 
2036
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2037
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2038
 
2039
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2040
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2041
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2042
           names cannot be changed.
2043
 
2044
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2045
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2046
 
2047
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2048
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2049
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2050
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2051
 
2052
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2053
      file.
2054
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2055
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2056
      MyPackage.dpk.
2057
 
2058
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2059
      file.
2060
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2061
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2062
      MyDll.dpr.
2063
 
2064
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2065
      file.
2066
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2067
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2068
      MyProg.dpr.
2069
 
2070
Minor changes:
2071
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2072
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2073
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2074
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2075
 
2076
    * BuildVersion directive
2077
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2078
      in a Delphi Unit.
2079
 
2080
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2081
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2082
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2083
      'know' the location of the files.
2084
 
2085
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2086
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2087
 
2088
Internal Changes:
2089
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2090
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2091
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2092
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2093
 
2094
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2095
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2096
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
2097

2100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2101
Major changes:
2102
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2103
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2104
      information for purely C++ builds.
2105
 
289 dpurdie 2106
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2107
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2108
 
289 dpurdie 2109
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2110
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2111
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2112
 
2113
Minor changes:
2114
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

2116
 
2117
    * updatenodespec utility
2118
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2119

2156
    * New command: jats make show
2157
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2158
      used in the build.
2159
 
2160
    * Escrow command
2161
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2162
 
2163
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2164
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2165
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2166
 
2167
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2168
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2169

277 dpurdie 2172
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2173
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2174
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2175
 
279 dpurdie 2176
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2177
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2178
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2179
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2180
 
2181
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2182
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2183
 
2184
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2185
 
2186
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2187
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2188
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2189
 
2190
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2191
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2192
        processed.
2193
 
2194
      Removed the '-delete' option
2195
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2196
 
277 dpurdie 2197
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2198
    * Sandbox command
2199
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2200
 
2201
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2202
      target from consideration in the build set.
2203
 
2204
    * MCR Toolset
2205
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2206
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2207
 
2208
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2209
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2210
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2211
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2212
 
2213
    * Jats run_test command
2214
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2215
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2216
 
2217
    * descpkg file
2218
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2219
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2220
 
2221
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2222
     Now contains build trace information
2223
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2224
 
2225
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2226
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2227
     it contains 'jar' files.
2228
 
2229
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2230
 
2231
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2232
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2233
 
2234
   * BuildVersion directive
2235
     Form:
2236
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2237
     now works as expected.
2238
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2239
 
2240
Internal Changes:
2241
 
2242
    * Error reporting mechanism
2243
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2244
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2245
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

2255
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
2256
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
2257
    then starts.
2258
 
2259
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2260
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2261
 
2262
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2263
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2264
    non-platform option.
2265
 
279 dpurdie 2266
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

2280
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
2281
 
2282
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
2283

2284
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
2285
 
2286
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
2287
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
2288
 
2289
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars

2293
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
2294
 
2295

2297
      to the invoked application.
2298
 
2299
Internal Changes:

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
2405
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2406
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
2407
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

        define_source_file              (Default)
2429
 
2430
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2431
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2432
 
2433
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

2441
            --InstallProg=list
2442
 
2443
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
2444
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
2445
      GenerateCab.
2446
 
2447

2524
 
2525
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
2526
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
2527
      programs.
2528
 
2529
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
2530
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

2579
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
2580
      time.
2581
 
2582
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
2583
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

2599
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2600
      Previously was being done at two places
2601
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2602
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
2603
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
2604
 
2605
    * JATS make: Command line
2606
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2607

2616
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
2617
        + Consistent use of option parsing

2664
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2665
 
2666
Minor changes:

2679
 
2680
      New platforms:
2681
        CSHARP2005
2682
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2683
         Support extends to allow:
2684
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2685
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2686
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2687
 
2688
        VS2005
2689
         Support extends to allow:
2690
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2691
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2692
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2693
 
2694
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2695
      through a version selector:
2696
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2697
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2698
 
2699
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2700
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2701
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2702
 
2703
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2704
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2705
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2706
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2707
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2708
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2709
          under VS2005.
2710
 
2711
Minor changes:
2712
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

2715
 
2716
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2717
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2718
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2719
 
2720
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2721
 
2722
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2723
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2724
 
2725
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2726
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2727
      a minimal value of perl.
2728
 
2729
      Removed excessive require statements.
2730
 
2731
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2732
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled

      Include JATS specific files for
2734
        1) Windows
2735
        2) Linux
2736
 
2737
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2738
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2739
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2740
      machines.
2741
 
2742
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2743

2747
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2748
 
2749
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2750
      wrapper scripts.
2751
 
2752
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2753

2783
      was added.
2784
 
2785
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
2786
      reviewing a new package.
2787
 
2788
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2789
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are

Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
2806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2807
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2808
  * New toolset and platform
2809
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2810
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2811
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2812
    this platform.
2813
 
2814
Minor changes:
2815
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2816
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2817
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2818
    work.
2819
 
2820
  * Jats utility: release
2821
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2822
    published to dpkg_archive.
2823
 
249 dpurdie 2824
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2825
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2826
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2827
    supported for ANT builds.
2828
 
2829
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2830
        releasemanager.releasename
2831
        releasemanager.projectname
2832
 
2833
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2834
    tagged data item of the form
2835
 
2836
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2837
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2838
 
2839
  * Mug File Generation
2840
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2841
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2842
 
2843
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2844
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2845
    required.
2846
 
2847
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2848
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2849
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2850
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2851
    the files in order to use them.
2852
 
2853
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2854
    locate the file.
2855
 
2856
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2857
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2858
 
2859
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2860
        * CSharp
2861
        * Properties
2862
        * WinRC
2863
 
2864
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2865
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2866
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2867
    Value is correctly assigned.
2868

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2872
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2873
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2874
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2875
 
2876
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2877
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2878
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2879
 
2880
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2881
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2882
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2883
 
2884
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2885
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2886
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2887
 
2888
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2889
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2890
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2891
    correct.
2892
 
2893
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2894
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2895
 
2896
Minor changes:
2897
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2898
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2899
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2900
 
2901
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2902
    This will simplify new user setup.
2903
 
2904
  * All Unix Toolsets
2905
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2906
    on unix systems
2907
 
2908
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2909
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2910
    on some Solaris Machines.
2911
 
2912
  * JATS -version=<version>
2913
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2914
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

  * JATS builds
2960
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

2962
    mode.
2963
 
2964
  * JATS makefiles
2965
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2966
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2967
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2968
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or

    * Jats Release Mechanism
3132
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3133
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3134
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3135
 
3136
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3137
 
3138
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3139
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3140
 
3141
    * Running Jats

      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3143
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3144
      This may affect some windows developers.
3145
 
3146
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3147
      Future versions will generate an error.
3148
 
3149
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3150
 
3151
Minor changes:
3152
    * Perl Version Check
3153
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3154
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3155
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3156
 
3157
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3158
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3159
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3160
      build.
3161
 
3162
    * Jats Internals
3163
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3164
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3165
 
3166
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3167
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3168
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3169
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3170
      process.
3171
 
3172
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3173
      Only works under Windows.
3174
 
3175
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3176
 
3177
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3178
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3179
 
3180
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3181
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3182
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3183
 
3184
    * Jats eprog
3185
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3186
      directory.
3187
 
3188
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3189
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3190
      build metrics.
3191

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3195
Major changes:
3196
 
3197
Minor changes:
3198
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3199
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3200
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3201
      automated build system. New options are:
3202
        -pname=Package_Name
3203
        -pversion=Package_Version
3204
 
3205
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3206
      transferring the package. New options are:
3207
        -test
3208
 
3209
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3210
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3211
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3212
 
3213
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3214
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3215
 
3216
    * Solaris Toolset
3217
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3218
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3219
      programs are still supported.

3224
Major changes:
3225
 
3226
Minor changes:
3227
    * WINCE toolsets
3228
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3229
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3230
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3231
      when header files cannot be found.
3232
 
3233
    * GenerateFiles directive
3234
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3235
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3236
      that are difficult to solve.
3237
 
3238
    * MakePerlModule directive
3239
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3240
      to the the module builder.
3241
 
3242
    * Jats Tool: label
3243
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3244
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3245
      -dirs=xxx options.
3246
 
3247
    * Jats Tool: release
3248
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3249
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3250
 
3251
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3252
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3253
 
3254
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3255
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3256
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3257
 
3258
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
3265
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3266
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3267
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3268
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3269
 
3270
Minor changes:
3271
    * label utility
3272
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3273
 
3274
    * make package and install operations
3275
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3276
      transfer.
3277
 
3278
    * make clean up
3279
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3280
 
3281
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3282
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3283
      minor file transformations such as:
3284
        Copy, with optional rename
3285
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3286
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3287
 
3288
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3289
 
3290
    * jats release utility
3291
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3292
      in place.
3293
 
3294
    * escrow utility
3295
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3296
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

3303
Minor changes:
3304
    * Makefile generation
3305
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3306
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3307
      generate phase early.
3308
 
3309

3310
Version: 2.71.2.cr                                Released: 09-Nov-07
3311
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3312
Major changes:
3313
 
3314
Minor changes:
3315
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3316
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3317
 
3318
    * Makefile generation
3319
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3320
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3321
 
3322
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3323
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3324
 
3325
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3326
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3327
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3328
 
3329
    * jats_rewrite utility
3330
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3331
 
3332
    * jats escrow utility
3333
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3334
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3335
 
3336
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3337
      inconsistent packages.
3338
 
3339
    * jats make help
3340
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3341
      available within the current build.
3342
 
3343
    * jats makefiles
3344
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3345
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3346
 
3347
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3348
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3349
 
3350
    * gcc toolset
3351
      SharedLibries.
3352
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3353
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3354
 
3355
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3356
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3357
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3358
 
3359
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3360
        New options:
3361
            --MultiScan
3362
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3363
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3364
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.
3365

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3370
Major changes:
3371
 
3372
Minor changes:
3373
    PackageLib directive
3374
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3375
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3376
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3377
 
3378
    MakefileGenerate directive
3379
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3380
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3381
 
3382
    Multiple Parent detection
3383
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3384
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3385
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3386
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3387
 
3388
    Solaris Toolset
3389
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3390
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3391
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3392
    link.
3393
 
3394
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3395
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3396
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3397
 
3398
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3399
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3400
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3401
    file.

3405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3406
Major changes:
3407
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3408
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3409
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3410
 
3411
    Summary of changes:
3412
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3413
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3414
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3415
          flexibility.
3416
 
3417
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3418
 
3419
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3420
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3421
          interface directory and associated build information.
3422
 
3423
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3424
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3425
          than one second.
3426
 
3427
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3428
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3429
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3430
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3431
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3432
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3433
 
3434
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3435
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3436
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3437
 
3438
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3439
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3440
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3441
          building them.
3442
 
3443
        - Detection of build file changes
3444
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3445
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3446
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3447
 
3448
        - Quieter make output
3449
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3450
 
3451
 
3452
Minor changes:
3453
    MakeAnt Directive
3454
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3455
 
3456
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3457
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3458
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3459
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3460
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3461
 
3462
    CSHARP toolset
3463
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3464

Minor changes:
3471
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3472
    are generated.
3473
 
3474
    MakeAnt
3475
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3476
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3477
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3478
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3479
 
3480
    MCR platform
3481

3489
Minor changes:
3490
    MakeAnt directive extended
3491
    New option: --PackageBase
3492
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3493
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3494
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3495
 
3496
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3497
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3498
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3499
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
3519
 
3520
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3521
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3522
 
3523
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3524
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3525
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3526
 
3527
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3528
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3529
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3530
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

Minor changes:
3558
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3559
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3560
 
3561
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3562
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3563
      last.
3564
 
3565
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3566
 
3567
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3568
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3569
 
3570
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3571
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3572
 
3573
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3574
 
3575
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3576
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3577
 
3578
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3579
 
3580
 
3581
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3582
           with the --System option
3583
 
3584
    * LMOS target platform

3590
Major changes:
3591
 
3592
Minor changes:
3593
    * Solaris Toolset
3594
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3595
      dependent packages.
3596
 
3597
    * RunTest operation
3598
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3599
 
3600
    * Csharp toolkit
3601
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
3602

Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
3605
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3606
Major changes:
3607
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3608
 
3609
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3610
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3611
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3612
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3613
      path.
3614
 
3615
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3616
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3617
      reproducible.
3618
 
3619
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3620
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3621
 
3622
      There are several aspects to the change
3623
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3624
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3625
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3626
 
3627
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3628
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3629
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3630
          controlled separately.
3631
 
3632
Minor changes:
3633
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3634
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3635
        Remove duplicates
3636
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3637
 
3638

3639
Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3640
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3641
Major changes:
3642
 
3643
Minor changes:
3644
    * Makefile sanity test
3645
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3646
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3647
 
3648
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3649
      x86 machine.
3650
 
3651
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3652
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3653
 
3654
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3655
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3656
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3657
Major changes:
3658
    * RunTest directive
3659
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3660
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3661
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3662
 
3663
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3664
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3665
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3666
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3667
 
3668
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3669
        builder within the current toolset.
3670
 
3671
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3672
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3673
 
3674
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3675
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3676
      containing the RunTest directive.
3677
 
3678
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3679
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3680
 
3681
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3682
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3683
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3684
 
3685
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3686
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3687
                            P or D suffix.
3688
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3689
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3690
 
3691
Minor changes:
3692
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3693
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3694
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3695
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3696
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3697
 
3698
    * Save Build Utility
3699
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3700
      used in a ripple build.
3701
 
3702
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3703
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3704
 
3705
    * Release Utility
3706
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3707
      when an error is encountered.
3708
 
3709
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3710
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3711
 
3712
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3713
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3714
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3715
 
3716
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3717
      before the makefiles are created.
3718
 
3719
    * TestProg directive
3720
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3721
 
3722
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3723
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3724

3728
Major changes:
3729
    * New build target
3730
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3731
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3732
 
3733
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3734
            DEVLINUX
3735
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3736
 
3737
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3738
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3739
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3740
 
3741
Minor changes:
3742
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3743
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3744
 
3745
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3746
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3747
 
3748
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3749
      and .cs files.
3750
 
3751
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3752
      thing.
3753
 
3754
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3755
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3756
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3757
      were it places temp files.
3758
 
3759
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3760
      interaction with other builds.
3761
 
3762
    * Release utility command
3763
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3764
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3765
      component in the clearcase tag name.

3780
  * Unit Tests
3781
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3782
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3783
 
3784
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

3826
  * Deployment
3827
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3828
 
3829
  * build.pl
3830
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3831
 
3832
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3833
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3834
 
3835
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3836
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3837
    build.
3838
 
3839
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3840
 
3841
  * Tool: escrow
3842

3844
     are not in the SBOM.
3845
 
3846
     Prune "patch" package versions.

3853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3854
Major changes:
3855
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3856
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3857
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3858
 
3859
  * GenerateFiles
3860
    Added the options:
3861
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3862
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3863
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3864
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3865
 
3866
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3867
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3868
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3869
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3870
                                  required.
3871
 
3872
 
3873
Minor changes:
3874
  * GenerateFile directive
3875
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3876
 
3877
  * GCC Toolset
3878
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3879
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3880
    be rebuilt.
3881
 
3882
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3883
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3884
 
3885
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3886
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3887
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3888
Major changes:
3889
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3890
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3891
    environment variables.
3892
 
3893
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3894
            moved.
3895
 
3896
    This will affect users that:
3897
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3898
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3899
 
3900
        2) Use the ABT system
3901
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3902
           the required configuration
3903
 
3904
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3905
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3906
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3907
    Windows
3908
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3909
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3910
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3911
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3912
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3913
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3914

3918
 
3919
  * New build platforms
3920
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3921
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3922
 
3923
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3924
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3925
 
3926
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3927
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3928
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3929
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3930
 
3931
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3932
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3933
    release.
3934
 
3935
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3936
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3937
 
3938
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3939
    need to be converted.
3940
 
3941
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3942
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3943
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3944
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3945
    used for different targets platforms.
3946
 
3947
  * Sandbox support
3948
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3949
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3950
 
3951
    New command: jats sandbox ...
3952
 
3953
Minor changes:
3954
 
3955
 
3956
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3957
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
3958
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3959
Major changes:
3960
  * MakeAnt directive
3961
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3962
 
3963
    New options
3964
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3965
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3966
 
3967
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3968
    run_unit_tests phase.
3969
 
3970
  * Sandbox support
3971
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3972
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3973
 
3974
Minor changes:
3975
  * jats build
3976
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3977
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3978
 
3979
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3980
 
3981
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3982
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3983
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3984
 
3985
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3986
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3987
 
3988
  * JATS.BAT
3989
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3990
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3991
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3992
 
3993
  * jats label
3994
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3995
 
3996
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3997
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3998
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3999
Major changes:
4000
  * New build platform:
4001
        LMOS_TP5600
4002
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4003
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4004
 
4005
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4006
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4007
    describe the group of platforms.
4008
 
4009
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4010
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4011
    build these targets.
4012
 
4013
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4014
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4015
 
4016
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4017
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4018
 
4019
  * New build platform: WINCE
4020
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4021
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4022
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4023
 
4024
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4025
            WCEIT3000
4026
            WCEPA961
4027
            WCEPA962
4028
            WCEPCM7220
4029
            WCEPSION_420
4030
            WCEPSPC_arm
4031
            WCEPSPC_emu
4032
            WCEX86A420
4033
            WCEX86A500
4034
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4035
 
4036
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4037
 
4038
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4039
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4040
    that contain packaging directives.
4041
 
4042
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4043
    very unusual configurations.
4044
 
4045
Minor changes:
4046
  * Directive: PackageFile
4047
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4048
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4049
    an '='.
4050
 
4051
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4052
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4053
 
4054
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4055
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4056
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4057
 
4058
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4059
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4060
 
4061
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4062
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4064
Major changes:
4065
 
4066
  * JATS release command
4067
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4068
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4069
 
4070
    Rules are:
4071
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4072
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4073
                            File will be placed on a branch
4074
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4075
                            New directory will branch
4076
 
4077
Minor changes:
4078
  * JATS release command
4079
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4080
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4081
 
4082
  * JATS label command
4083
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4084
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4085
 
4086
  * JATS make
4087
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4088
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4089
    was re-packaged.
4090
 
4091
  * JATS escrow
4092
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4093
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4094
 
4095
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4096
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4097
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4098
 
4099
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4100
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4101
    interface directory.
4102
 
4103
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4104
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4105
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4106
    directory as seen by the package.
4107
 
4108
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4109
 
4110
  * JAVA 6
4111
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4112
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4113
 
4114
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4115
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4116
 
4117
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4118
 
4119
  * Jats command: vars
4120
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4121
    These indicate potential problems.
4122
 
4123
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4124
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4125
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4126
Major changes:
4127
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4128
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4129
    libarry is also created.
4130
 
4131
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4132
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4133
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4134
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4135
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4136
    information contained within the file.
4137
 
4138
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4139
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4140
 
4141
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4142
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4143
 
4144
  * Building Perl Modules
4145
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4146
    documentation on the build machine.
4147
 
4148
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4149
 
4150
Minor changes:
4151
  * jats create_dpkg
4152
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4153
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4154
 
4155
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4156
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4158
Major changes:
4159
  * JATS JAVA build target
4160
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4161
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4162
 
4163
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4164
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4165
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4166
    is then picked up as the default version.
4167
 
4168
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4169
    build.pl file.
4170
 
4171
Minor changes:
4172
  * jats release
4173
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4174
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4175
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4176
 
4177
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4178
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4179
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4180
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4181
    the name of the view.
4182
 
4183
  * GenerateFiles directive
4184
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4185
 
4186
  * MOS Toolset
4187
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4188
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4189
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4190
 
4191
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4192
 
4193
 
4194
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4195
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4196
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4197
Major changes:
4198
 
4199
Minor changes:
4200
  * JATS environment
4201
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4202
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4203
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4204
 
4205
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4206
 
4207
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4208
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4209
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4210
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4211
    to be packaged.
4212
 
4213
  * Generated makefiles
4214
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4215
 
4216
  * Generating MOS THX files
4217
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4218
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4219
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4220
 
4221
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4222
 
4223
  * JATS release
4224
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4225
 
4226
  * JATS extract
4227
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4228
 
4229
  * JATS Toolset
4230
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4231
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4232
 
4233
 
4234
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4235
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4236
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4237
Major changes:
4238
 
4239
Minor changes:
4240
  * jats label
4241
    Added a -vob=name option
4242
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4243
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4244
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4245
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4246
 
4247
    Added a -user=name option
4248
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4249
    label to the named user.
4250
 
4251
  * jats release
4252
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4253
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4254
 
4255
  * JATS build.pl
4256
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4257
    ie:
4258
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4259

4261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4262
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4263
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4264
Major changes:
4265
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4266
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4267
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4268
    the makefile internals. ie:
4269
        --Var(BuildName)
4270
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4271
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4272
 
4273
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4274
 
4275
  * GenerateFiles
4276
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4277
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4278
 
4279
  * BuildPlatforms
4280
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4281
 
4282
Minor changes:
4283
  * GCC Toolset
4284
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4285
 
4286
Internal changes:
4287
  * GenerateFiles
4288
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4289
 
4290
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4291
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4292
 
4293
 
4294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4295
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4296
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4297
Major changes:
4298
  * Caching JATS
4299
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4300
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4301
 
4302
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4303
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4304
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4305
 
4306
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4307
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4308
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4309
 
4310
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4311
 
4312
Minor changes:
4313
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4314
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4315
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4316
 
4317
  * jats build
4318
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4319
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4320
    processed by the build.
4321
 
4322
  * jats build
4323
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4324
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4325
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4326
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4327
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4328
 
4329
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4330
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4331
    Path is not specified.
4332
 
4333
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4334
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4335
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4336
        --Dir=$Pinc
4337
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4338
 
4339
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4340
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4341
    Windows platform.
4342
 
4343
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4344
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4345
            by 'purecov.
4346
 
4347
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4348
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4349
 
4350
        - OPTIONS=purify
4351
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4352
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4353
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4354

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
4358
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4359
Major changes:
4360
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4361
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4362
    Example:
4363
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4364
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4365
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4366
 
4367
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4368
    been determined.
4369
 
4370
Minor changes:
4371
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4372
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4373
    located at build-time.
4374
 
4375
  * Unix based systems
4376
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4377
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4378
 
4379
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4380
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4381
    driver being built.
4382

4399
    dependancy information within a package.
4400
 
4401
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4402
    messages.

    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4412
 
4413
    GenerateFiles.
4414
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4415
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4416
                      be run on every invocation.
4417
 
4418
 
4419

4424
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4425
  There are two mechanism:
4426
 
4427
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4428
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4429
 
4430
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4431
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4432
 
4433
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4434
  default.

  * SunWorks Toolset
4443
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4444
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4445
    It is based on machine type.
4446
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4447
 
4448
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4449
 
4450
Minor changes:
4451

    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
4474
    field separator.
4475
 
4476
  * JATS eprog command
4477
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4478
 
4479
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4480
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4481
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4482
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4483
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4484
 
4485
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4486
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4487
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4488
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4489
 
4490
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4491
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
4492

4501
 
4502
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
4503
 
4504
 
4505
Minor changes:
4506
  * JATS wrapper script
4507
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4508
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4509
    to setup links to system programs.

    Added CompileOptions
4532
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4533
        no_misalign         - Default
4534
 
4535
        multithread         - Default
4536
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
4537
 
4538
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4539
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
4540
 
4541

4549
        debug_debuginfo
4550
 
4551
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4552
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4553
    Theses are:
4554
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4555
        SOLARIS_AMD
4556
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4557
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4558
 
4559
Minor changes:
4560
  * AT3232 toolset
4561
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
4562
 
4563
  * Jats build

4570
Major changes:
4571
 
4572
Minor changes:
4573
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4574
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4575
    messages
4576
 
4577
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4578
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4579
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4580
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4581

4585
Major changes:
4586
 
4587
Minor changes:
4588
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4589
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4590
    library without creating the body of the library:
4591
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4592
 
4593
 
4594
  * MOS toolsets
4595
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4596
    library without creating the body of the library:
4597
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4598
 
4599
  * JATS BIN directories
4600
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4601
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4602
    using autoconf.
4603
 
4604
  * Generate directive
4605
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4606
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4607
 
4608
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4609

4613
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4614
Major changes:
4615
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4616
    Initial release.

4623
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4624
Major changes:
4625
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4626
    Initial release.
4627
 
4628
  * Packaging directives
4629
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4630
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4631
 
4632
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4633
        SOLARIS
4634
        WIN32
4635
 
4636
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4637
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4638
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4639
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4640
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4641
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4642
 
4643
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4644
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4645
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4646
 
4647
 
4648
Minor changes:
4649
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4650
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4651
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4652
 
4653
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4654
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4655
    location
4656
 
4657
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4658
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4659
 
4660
  * Utility genrc
4661
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4662
 
4663
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4664
    Added option: -new
4665
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4666
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4667
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4668
 
4669
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4670
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4671
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4672
 
4673
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4674
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4675
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4676
 
4677
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4678
   features - in a uniform manner.
4679
 
4680
 
4681
Internal Changes:
4682
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4683
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4684
 
4685
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4686
        1) Platform information available at build time
4687
        2) Dynamic platform names
4688
 
4689
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4690
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4691
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4692
 
4693
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4694
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4695
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4696
 
4697
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4698
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4699
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4700
    needed.
4701
 
4702
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4703
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4704
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4705
    files from all of these.
4706

4718
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4719
Major changes:
4720
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4721
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4722
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4723
 
4724
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4725
 
4726
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4727
    the operations.
4728
 
4729
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4730
 
4731
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4732
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4733
 
4734
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4735
 
4736
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4737
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4738
 
4739
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4740
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4741
    Extended the built-in help
4742
    Added useful error messages
4743
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4744
 
4745
  * WinCE toolset
4746
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4747
 
4748
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4749
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4750
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4751
 
4752
Minor changes:
4753
  * JATS wrapper script
4754
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4755
    the command line.
4756
 
4757
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4758
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4759
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4760
 
4761
Internal Changes:
4762
  * Common Error Reporting
4763
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4764
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4765
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4766
    level.
4767
 
4768
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4769
    displayed.
4770
 
4771
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4772
 
4773
  * Added JatsSystem module
4774
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4775
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4776
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
4777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4778
Major changes:
4779
 
4780
Minor changes:
4781
  * BR Compiler toolset
4782
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4783
    .def files to include other files.
4784
 
4785
  * IAR toolset
4786
    Added AT7272 support
4787
 
4788
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4789
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4790
 
4791
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4792
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4794
Major changes:
4795
 
4796
Minor changes:
4797
  * BR Compiler toolset
4798
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4799
    use.
4800
 
4801
 
4802
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4803
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4804
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4805
Major changes:
4806
 
4807
Minor changes:
4808
  * Mictotec toolset
4809
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4810
    builds.
4811
 
4812
  * JATS Core
4813
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4814
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4815
    behaviour.
4816
 
4817
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4818
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4820
Major changes:
4821
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4822
    Deployment package will be affected.
4823
 
4824
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4825
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4826
 
4827
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4828
 
4829
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4830
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4831
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4832
    packages.
4833
 
4834
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4835
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4836
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4837
 
4838
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4839
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4840
 
4841
Minor changes:
4842
  * SubDir directive
4843
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4844
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4845
 
4846
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4847
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4848
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4849
    of the file usage.
4850
 
4851
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4852
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4853
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4854
 
4855
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4856
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4857
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4858
 
4859
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4860
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4861
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4862
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4863
 
4864
 
4865
Internal Changes:
4866
  * Code refactor
4867
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4868
 
4869
  * Deployment utilities
4870
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4871
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4872
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4873
    the module can locate the file.
4874
 
4875
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4876
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4877
 
4878
  * JATS core
4879
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4880
 
4881
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4882
 
4883
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4884
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4885
    through the use of environment variables.
4886
 
4887
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4888
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4889
 
4890
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4891
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4892
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4893
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4894
 
4895
  * Make environment
4896
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4897
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4898
 
4899
 
4900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4901
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4902
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4903
Major changes:
4904
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4905
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4906
 
4907
 
4908
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4909
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4910
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4911
 
4912
Not Released.
4913
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4914
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4915
 
4916
 
4917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4918
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4920
Major changes:
4921
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4922
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4923
    radically replaced.
4924
 
4925
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4926
    Usage:
4927
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4928
 
4929
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4930
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4931
    this solution:
4932
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4933
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4934
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4935
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4936
 
4937
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4938
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4939
    order to work.
4940
 
4941
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4942
    reduced functionality.
4943
 
4944
 
4945
Minor changes:
4946
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4947
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4948
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4949
 
4950
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4951
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4952
    within the makefiles.
4953
        Options:
4954
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4955
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4956
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4957
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4958
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4959
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4960
        Useage:
4961
 
4962
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4963
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4964
 
4965
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4966
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4967
    is not in the current directory.
4968
 
4969
  * Jats Command: ant'
4970
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4971
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4972
 
4973
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4974
 
4975
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4976
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4977
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4978
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4979
 
4980
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4981
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4982
    Thus
4983
 
4984
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4985
 
4986
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4987
 
4988
 
4989
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4990
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4991
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4992
Major changes:
4993
 
4994
Minor changes:
4995
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4996
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4997
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4998
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4999
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5000
 
5001
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5002
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5003
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5004
 
5005
Internal changes:
5006
  * JATS toolsets
5007
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5008
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5009
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5010
 
5011
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5012
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5013
 
5014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5015
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5017
Major changes:
5018
  * Jats command: etool
5019
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5020
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5021
 
5022
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5023
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5024
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5025
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5026
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5027
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5028
 
5029
Minor changes:
5030
 
5031
 
5032
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5033
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5035
Major changes:
5036
  * JATS environment variables
5037
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5038
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5039
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5040
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5041
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5042
 
5043
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5044
              Remote repository
5045
 
5046
    Added GBE_DPLY
5047
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5048
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5049
 
5050
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5051
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5052
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5053
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5054
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5055
 
5056
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5057
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5058
 
5059
 
5060
Minor changes:
5061
  * JATS utility: build
5062
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5063
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5064
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5065
 
5066
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5067
    Ensure label is not locked
5068
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5069
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5070
 
5071
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5072
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5073
    to a specific type of build.
5074
 
5075
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5076
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5077
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5078
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5079
 
5080
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5081
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5082
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5083
 
5084
  * JATS utility: release
5085
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5086
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5087
 
5088
  * JATS utility: label
5089
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5090
    when it is being created.
5091
 
5092
Internal Changes
5093
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5094
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5095
 
5096
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5097
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5098
 
5099
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5100
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5101
    different results.
5102
 
5103
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5104
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5105
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5106
 
5107
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5108
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5109
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5110
Major changes:
5111
 
5112
  * MCR toolset
5113
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5114
 
5115
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5116
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5117
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5118
Major changes:
5119
  * WIN32 utilities
5120
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5121
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5122
 
5123
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5124
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5125
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5126
 
5127
Minor changes:
5128
  * BuildVersion
5129
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5130
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5131
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5132
 
5133
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5134
 
5135
  * Unix Builds
5136
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5137
    library or a shared library.
5138
 
5139
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5140
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5141
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5142
    start with 'lib'.
5143
 
5144
  * BuildPkgArchive
5145
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5146
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5147
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5148

5150
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5151
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5152
Major changes:
5153
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5154
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5155
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5156
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5157
    being manually maintained.
5158
 
5159
 
5160
Minor changes:
5161
  * MakeAnt directive
5162
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5163
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5164
    supports ANT builds.
5165
 
5166
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5167
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5168
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5169
 
5170
  * Label utility
5171
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5172
    files to be labeled.
5173
 
5174
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5175
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5176
    on Solaris.
5177
 
5178
  * Generated makefiles
5179
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5180
    nothing.
5181
 
5182
  * MOS Toolset
5183
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5184
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5185
    modules.
5186
 
5187
  * Utility: gen_cots
5188
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5189
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5190
 
5191
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5192
 
5193
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5194
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5195
 
5196
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5197
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5198
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5199
Major changes:
5200
  None
5201
 
5202
Minor changes:
5203
  * DEVI addressed
5204
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5205
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5206
 
5207
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5208
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5209
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5210
 
5211
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5212
 
5213
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5214
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5215
 
5216
  * RunTest directive
5217
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5218
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5219
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5220
 
5221
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5222
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5223
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5224
    packaged under JATS
5225
 
5226
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5227
          supported within JATS.
5228
 
5229
  * Jats utility wrapper
5230
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5231
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5232
 
5233
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5234
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5235
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5236
 
5237
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5238
    Eg: jats ant
5239
 
5240
  * Jats utility wrapper
5241
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5242
 
5243
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5244
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5245
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5246
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5247
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5248
 
5249
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5250
    expect a build.pl file.
5251
 
5252
  * Jats utility wrapper
5253
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5254
 
5255
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5256
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5257
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5258
 
5259
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5260
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5261
 
5262
  * Build files
5263
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5264
    ERG extensions.
5265
 
5266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5267
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5268
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5269
Major changes:
5270
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5271
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5272
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5273
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5274
 
5275
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5276
 
5277
Minor changes:
5278
  * None
5279
 
5280
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5281
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5282
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5283
Major changes:
5284
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5285
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5286
    ie:
5287
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5288
 
5289
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5290
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5291
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5292
    environments are compatible.
5293
 
5294
 
5295
Minor changes:
5296
  * BuildName option
5297
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5298
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5299
 
5300
  * jats.bat
5301
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5302
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5303
 
5304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5305
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5306
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5307
Major changes:
5308
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5309
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5310
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5311
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5312
 
5313
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5314
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5315
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5316
 
5317
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5318
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5319
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5320
 
5321
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5322
    transferred.
5323
 
5324
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5325
    See notes below.
5326
 
5327
  * WIN32 toolset
5328
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5329
    correctly.
5330
 
5331
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5332
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5333
 
5334
  * BuildVersion
5335
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5336
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5337
    other langauges as needed.
5338
 
5339
 
5340
Minor changes:
5341
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5342
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5343
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5344
    version strings.
5345
 
5346
  * GenerateFiles directive
5347
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5348
    package or an imported package.
5349
 
5350
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5351
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5352
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5353
 
5354
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5355
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5356
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5357
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5358
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5359
 
5360
Internal Changes
5361
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5362
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5363
    of utilities.
5364
 
5365
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5366
    functions.
5367
 
5368
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5369
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5370
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5371
Major changes:
5372
  * Generated makefiles
5373
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5374
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5375
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5376
 
5377
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5378
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5379
    incorrectly processing:
5380
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5381
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5382
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5383
    confused.
5384
 
5385
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5386
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5387
    The construct
5388
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5389
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5390
    then it works.
5391
 
5392
  * MakeAnt directive
5393
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5394
 
5395
    This option has the following effects
5396
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5397
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5398
 
5399
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5400
           early - in the generated files phase.
5401
 
5402
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5403
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5404
 
5405
 
5406
Minor changes:
5407
  * JATS post-installation script
5408
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5409
 
5410
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5411
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5412
    windows.
5413
 
5414
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5415
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5416
 
5417
  * Jats wrapper script
5418
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5419
        1) Contain spaces
5420
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5421
 
5422
  * Toolset
5423
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5424
 
5425
  * JAVA toolset
5426
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5427
    directive:
5428
 
5429
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5430
 
5431
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5432
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5433
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5434
 
5435
  * GCC Toolset
5436
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5437
 
5438
  * Makefile generation
5439
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5440
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5441
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5442
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5443
    package could not be used.
5444
 
5445
  * Unit Tests
5446
    The following environment variables are set:
5447
 
5448
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5449
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5450
 
5451
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5452
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5453
 
5454
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5455
 
5456
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5457
 
5458
 
5459
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5460
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5462
Major changes:
5463
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5464
 
5465
    Special features of this toolset.
5466
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5467
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5468
       incorporated within the target image.
5469
 
5470
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5471
       --Set=Name=Value
5472
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5473
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5474
 
5475
       --Ref=name
5476
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5477
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5478
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5479
                will be taken from the build version number.
5480
 
5481
Minor changes:
5482
  * MOS Toolset
5483
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5484
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5485
    packaged.
5486
 
5487
  * Src directive
5488
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5489
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5490
    specifier.
5491
 
5492
  * WIN32 runtime support
5493
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5494
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5495
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5496
 
5497
Internal:
5498
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5499
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5500
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5501
 
5502
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5503
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5504
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5505
Major changes:
5506
    * BuildAlias directive
5507
      Added options.
5508
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5509
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5510
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5511
                          targets.
5512
      Eg:
5513
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5514
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5515
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5516
 
5517
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5518
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5519
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5520
 
5521
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5522
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5523
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5524
 
5525
 
5526
Minor changes:
5527
  * Label utility
5528
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5529
    build.pl file
5530
 
5531
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5532
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5533
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5534
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5535
    --FilterIn option.
5536
 
5537
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5538
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5539
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5540
 
5541
  * Location of descpkg file
5542
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5543
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5544
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5545
 
5546
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5547
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5548
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5549
Major changes:
5550
  * RunTest directive
5551
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5552
    Additional options
5553
      --CopyIn=file
5554
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5555
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5556
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5557
        the test area.
5558
 
5559
    Additional operations
5560
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5561
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5562
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5563
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5564
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5565
    Allows flags:
5566
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5567
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5568
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5569
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5570
 
5571
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5572
    existence is tested.
5573
 
5574
  * Packaging Directives
5575
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5576
    such as LMOS.
5577
 
5578
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5579
 
5580
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5581
 
5582
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5583
 
5584
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5585
 
5586
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5587
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5588
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5589
 
5590
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5591
 
5592
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5593
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5594
 
5595
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5596
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5597
 
5598
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5599
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5600
 
5601
Minor changes:
5602
  * Script directive
5603
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5604
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5605
 
5606
  * JATS environment
5607
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5608
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5609
    the JATS wrapper script.
5610
 
5611
  * Label utility
5612
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5613
    There are three modes of operation:
5614
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5615
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5616
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5617
 
5618
 
5619
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5620
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5621
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5622
Major changes:
5623
 
5624
Minor changes:
5625
  * label utility
5626
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5627
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5628
 
5629
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5630
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5631
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5632
      --ProgLoader=name
5633
 
5634
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5635
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5636
    Options to do this are:
5637
        --TreeDir=name
5638
        --FilterOut=regexp
5639
        --FilterIn=regexp
5640
        --StripDir
5641
 
5642
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5643
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5644
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5645
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5646
 
5647
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5648
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5649
 
5650
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5651
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5652
 
5653
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5654
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5655
 
5656
 
5657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5658
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5659
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5660
Major changes:
5661
    * Make commands
5662
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5663
 
5664
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5665
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5666
 
5667
    * Label utility
5668
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5669
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5670
 
5671
Minor changes:
5672
    * Toolsets
5673
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5674
      variables and overrides.
5675
 
5676
      The make_init target is always run.
5677
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5678
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5679
 
5680
    * Deployment
5681
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5682
      with deployment operations.
5683
 
5684
    * Release utility
5685
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5686
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5687
      restricted by options within the build.
5688
 
5689
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5690
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5691
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5692
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5693
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5694
 
5695
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5696
      directives.
5697
 
5698
    * MakeProject directive
5699
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5700
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5701
 
5702
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5703
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5704
      is preserved.
5705
 
5706
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5707
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5708
      statements.
5709
 
5710
    * Mugfile generation
5711
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5712
      be placed in the target package.
5713
 
5714
 
5715
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5716
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5717
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5718
Major changes:
5719
    * BuildVersion directive
5720
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5721
      number as well as a patch number.
5722
 
5723
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5724
      number.
5725
 
5726
Minor changes:
5727
    * AddFlags directives
5728
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5729
      duplicate flags being added.
5730
 
5731
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5732
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5733
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5734
 
5735
    * Mug File Generation
5736
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5737
 
5738
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5739
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5740
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5741
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5742
     directory.
5743
 
5744
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5745
     reproducible.
5746
 
5747
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5748
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5749
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5750
Major changes:
5751
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5752
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5753
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5754
      longer a list of directories.
5755
 
5756
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5757
      done within the toolset.
5758
 
5759
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5760
 
5761
    * JATS environment variables
5762
      Redefined variable
5763
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5764
                          Previously was a list that included the
5765
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5766
 
5767
      New variable
5768
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5769
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5770
 
5771
 
5772
Minor changes:
5773
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5774
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5775
      target platforms to be extracted.
5776
 
5777
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5778
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5779
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5780
 
5781
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5782
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5783
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5784
 
5785
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5786
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5787
 
5788
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5789
      Support ANT based XML files
5790
 
5791
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5792
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5793
      structure.
5794
 
5795
    * makefile.pl's
5796
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5797
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5798
 
5799
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5800
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5801
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5802
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5803
 
5804
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5805
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5806
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5807
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5808
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5809
      -- Auto.
5810
 
5811
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5812
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5813
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5814
 
5815
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5816
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5817
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5818
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5819
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5820
 
5821
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5822
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5823
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5824
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5825
      installed on the machine.
5826
 
5827
    * WINCE Targets
5828
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5829
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5830
 
5831
 
5832

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5834
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5836
Major changes:
5837
    * WIN32 platforms
5838
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5839
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5840
      and installed packages.
5841
 
5842
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5843
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5844
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5845
 
5846
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5847
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5848
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5849
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5850
      searched when looking for libraries.
5851
 
5852
Minor changes:
5853
    * GenerateFiles directive
5854
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5855
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5856
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5857
                          and drive letter
5858
 
5859
    * Src directive
5860
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5861
      directory of a package.
5862
 
5863
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5864
 
5865
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5866
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5867
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5868
 
5869
    * jats_rewrite utility
5870
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5871
 
5872
 
5873
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5874
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5876
Major changes:
5877
    * SunWorks production builds
5878
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5879
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5880
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5881
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5882
      compiler documentation.
5883
 
5884
    * MOS Toolset
5885
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5886
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5887
 
5888
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5889
 
5890
Minor changes:
5891
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5892
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5893
      This should not affect current users.
5894
 
5895
    * Mugfile generation
5896
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5897
      specified.
5898
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5899

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5902
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5903
Major changes:
5904
    MOS Toolset
5905
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5906
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5907
 
5908
Minor changes:
5909
    * Jats wrapper script
5910
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5911
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5912
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5913
 
5914
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5915
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5916
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5917
      may be suspect.
5918
 
5919
    * GenerateFiles directive
5920
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5921
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5922
 
5923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5924
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5925
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5926
Major changes:
5927
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5928
      build.xml files.
5929
 
5930
Minor changes:
5931
    * WIN32 toolset.
5932
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5933
 
5934
    * MakeAnt
5935
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5936
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5937
 
5938
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5939
 
5940
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5941
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5942
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5943
 
5944
    * MakeAnt directive
5945
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5946
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5947
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5948
 
5949
      Recommended usage:
5950
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5951
 
5952
Internal Changes
5953
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5954

5958
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5959
Major changes:
5960
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5961
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5962

5968
 
5969
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5970
      The recommended platform is:
5971
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5972
 
5973
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5974
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5975
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5976
      components.

5982
 
5983
Minor changes:
5984
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5985
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5986
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5987
      by the package to be accessed.
5988
 
5989
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5990
      application or visual studio.
5991
 
5992
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5993
      and the JATS Core path.
5994
 
5995
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5996
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5997
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5998
 
5999
    * MOS Toolset
6000
      Add support for the TPT device
6001
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6002
 
6003
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6004
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6005
 
6006
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6007
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6008
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6009
 
6010
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6011
 
6012
Internal Changes
6013
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6014
      in jats.pl
6015
 
6016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6017
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6018
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6019
Major changes:
6020
    * JATS wrapper script
6021
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6022
 
6023
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6024
 
6025
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6026
 
6027
Minor changes:
6028
    * Deployment support
6029
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6030
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6031
 
6032
    * 'build'
6033
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6034
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6035
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6036
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6037
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6038
 
6039
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6040
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6041
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6042
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6043
                                      the link phase.
6044
 
6045
    * BuildPkgArchive
6046
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6047
      Previously these were ignored.
6048
      Minor code cleanup
6049
 
6050
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6051
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6052
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6053
 
6054
    * SOLARIS targets
6055
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6056
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6057
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6058
 
6059
    * MugFile generation
6060
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6061
      included in the final package.
6062
 
6063
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6064
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6065
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6066
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6067
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6068
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6069
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6070
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6071
 
6072
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6073
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6074
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6075
            --Option=(some_text)
6076
            --Option=[some_text]
6077
            --Option={some_text}
6078
 
6079
Internal Changes
6080
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6081
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6082
      code.
6083
 
6084
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6085
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6086
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6087
Major changes:
6088
    * JATS wrapper script
6089
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6090
 
6091
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6092
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6093
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6094
      other components.
6095
 
6096
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6097
 
6098
    * JATS
6099
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6100
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6101
 
6102
    * Build operations
6103
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6104
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6105
      packages.
6106
 
6107
    * Make operations
6108
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6109
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6110
 
6111
Minor changes:
6112
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6113
      deployment builds.
6114
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6115
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6116
 
6117
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6118
 
6119
    * build.pl
6120
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6121
        processed. Allows
6122
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6123
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6124
        production.
6125
 
6126
    * MOS toolset
6127
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6128
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6129
 
6130
    * create_dpkg utility
6131
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6132
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6133
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6134
      progress of the build.
6135
 
6136
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6137
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6138
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6139
      system.
6140
 
6141
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6142
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6143
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6144
Major changes:
6145
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6146
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6147
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6148
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6149
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6150
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6151
 
6152
    * WCEX86A500 target
6153
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6154
 
6155
    * MOS Toolsets
6156
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6157
      the compiler.
6158
 
6159
    * RunTest directive
6160
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6161
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6162
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6163
 
6164
Minor changes:
6165
    * JATS BUILD
6166
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6167
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6168
      highlight bad settings.
6169
 
6170
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6171
      access to extensions.
6172
 
6173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6174
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6176
Major changes:
6177
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6178
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6179
 
6180
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6181
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6182
      under unix.
6183
 
6184
Minor changes:
6185
    * label utility
6186
      Added options to:
6187
        o Delete a label
6188
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6189
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6190
 
6191
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6192
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6193
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6194
      Package directives.
6195
 
6196
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6197
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6198
      system.
6199
 
6200
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6201
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6202
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6203
Major changes:
6204
    * MOS Toolset
6205
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6206
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6207
 
6208
    * WIN32 Toolset
6209
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6210
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6211
      list.
6212
 
6213
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6214
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6215
 
6216
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6217
 
6218
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6219
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6220
 
6221
 
6222
Minor changes:
6223
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6224
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6225
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6226
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6227
      corrected.
6228
 
6229
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6230
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6231
 
6232
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6233
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6234
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6235
 
6236
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6237
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6239
Major changes:
6240
    * WIN32 Toolset
6241
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6242
      use with multithreaded modes.
6243
 
6244
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6245
      --OnlyProd.
6246
 
6247
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6248
      within the makefile.pl.
6249
 
6250
Minor changes:
6251
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6252
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6253
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6254
      platforms.
6255
 
6256
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6257
 
6258
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6259
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6260
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6261
Major changes:
6262
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6263
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6264
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6265
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6266
 
6267
    * Preliminary Support
6268
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6269
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6270
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6271
 
6272
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6273
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6274
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6275
 
6276
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6277
      building. The default build will build both.
6278
 
6279
Minor changes:
6280
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6281
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6282
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6283
 
6284
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6285
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6286
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6287
 
6288
 
6289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6290
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6291
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6292
Major changes:
6293
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6294
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6295
      or all.
6296
 
6297
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6298
      the library or program.
6299
 
6300
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6301
 
6302
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6303
      library or any debug files.
6304
 
6305
    * GenerateFiles
6306
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6307
 
6308
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6309
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6310
 
6311
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6312
              The filename of the prereq file
6313
 
6314
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6315
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6316
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6317
 
6318
 
6319
Minor changes:
6320
    * create_dpkg utility
6321
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6322
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6323
      the package has been altered.
6324
 
6325
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6326
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
6327
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6328
Major changes:
6329
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6330
      This is a WINCE target
6331
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6332
 
6333
    * New toolset
6334
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6335
 
6336
    * Modified toolset
6337
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6338
 
6339
    * Modified toolset
6340
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6341
 
6342
Minor changes:
6343
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6344
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6345
 
6346
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6347
 
6348
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6349
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6350
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6351
 
6352
      The change allows the construct
6353
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6354
      to be replaced by the simpler
6355
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6356
 
6357
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6364
Major changes:
6365
    * Dependancy generator
6366
      Extend the number of header files that can be included
6367
      to allow for 4096 included files.
6368
 
6369

6377
Version: JATS_2.20.0                                Released: 12-Apr-05
6378
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6379
Major changes:
6380
    * The "package.pl" file.
6381
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6382
      package name being taken from the build name
6383
 
6384
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6385
      package Build Name.
6386
 
6387
Minor changes:
6388
    * create_dpkg utility
6389
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
6390
 
6391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6392
Version: JATS_2.19.0                                Released: 08-Apr-05
6393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6394
Major changes:
6395
 
6396
Minor changes:
6397
    * Dependancy generator
6398
      Correct two common situations
6399
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6400
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6401
           ansi, but is often done.
6402
 
6403
    * GCC toolset
6404
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6405
      being created in the correct place.
6406
 
6407
    * jats "label"
6408
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6409
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6410
 
6411
 
6412
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6413
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6414
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6415
Major changes:
6416
 
6417
Minor changes:
6418
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6419
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6420
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6421
 
6422
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6423
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6424
 
6425
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6426
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6427
      package was not being transferred.
6428
 
6429
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6430
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6431
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6432
Major changes:
6433
    * Support for solaris_i386
6434
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6435
      binaries for this target.
6436
 
6437
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6438
      with the GCC compiler.
6439
 
6440
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6441
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6442
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6443
 
6444
Minor changes:
6445
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6446
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6447
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6448
 
6449
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6450
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6451
 
6452
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6453
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6454
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6455
Major changes:
6456
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6457
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6458
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6459
 
6460
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6461
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6462
 
6463
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6464
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6465
      with either " or ' characters.
6466
 
6467
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6468
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6469
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6470
 
6471
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6472
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6473
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6474
 
6475
    * Jats wrapper
6476
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6477
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6478
      further commands.
6479
 
6480
Minor changes:
6481
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6482
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6483
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6484
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6485
 
6486
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6487
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6488
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6489
Major changes:
6490
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6491
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6492
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6493
 
6494
      These options operation affect all components within the
6495
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6496
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6497
 
6498
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6499
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6500
 
6501
Minor changes:
6502
 
6503
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6504
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6505
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6506
Major changes:
6507
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6508
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6509
 
6510
Minor changes:
6511
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6512
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6513
 
6514
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6515
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6516
 
6517
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6518
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6519
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6520
Major changes:
6521
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6522
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6523
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6524
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6525
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6526
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6527
      installed.
6528
 
6529
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6530
      libraries that depend on each other.
6531
 
6532
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6533
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6534
 
6535
Minor changes:
6536
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6537
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6538
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6539
 
6540
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6541
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6542
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6543
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6544
 
6545
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6546
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6548
Major changes:
6549
 
6550
Minor changes:
6551
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6552
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6553
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6554
      file.
6555
 
6556
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6557
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6558
 
6559
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6560
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6561
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6562
 
6563
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6564
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6565
 
6566
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6567
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6568
 
6569
    * WinCE toolsets
6570
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6571
      compiler specific libraries.
6572
 
6573
    * SOLARIS toolset
6574
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6575
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6576
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6577
 
6578
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6579
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6580
      cleaned up.
6581
 
6582
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6583
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6584
 
6585
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6586
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6587
      with either " or ' characters.
6588
 
6589
 
6590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6591
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6592
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6593
Major changes:
6594
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6595
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6596
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6597
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6598
 
6599
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6600
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6601
 
6602
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6603
      user.
6604
 
6605
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6606
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6607
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6608
 
6609
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6610
      for the   -Gf option.
6611
 
6612
Minor changes:
6613
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6614
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6615
 
6616
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6617
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6618
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6619
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6620
 
6621
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6622
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6623
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6624
Major changes:
6625
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6626
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6627
 
6628
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6629
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6630
      data addresses for the board.
6631
 
6632
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6633
 
6634
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6635
 
6636
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6637
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6638
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6639
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6640
         PackageFile
6641
 
6642
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6643
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6644
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6645
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6646
 
6647
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6648
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6649
      to be installed and packaged.
6650
 
6651
Minor changes:
6652
 
6653
    * cache_dpkg utility
6654
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6655
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6656
 
6657
    * label utility
6658
      New option -auto to create and label
6659
 
6660
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6661
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6662
 
6663
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6664
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6665
      directory. ie:
6666
 
6667
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6668
 
6669
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6670
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6671
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6672
 
6673
 
6674
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6675
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6677
Major changes:
6678
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6679
 
6680
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6681
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6682
 
6683
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6684
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6685
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6686
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6687
 
6688
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6689
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6690
      compilation.
6691
 
6692
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6693
 
6694
Minor changes:
6695
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6696
      one is being produced.
6697
 
6698
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6699
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6700
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6701
 
6702
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6703
 
6704
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6705
 
6706
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6707
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6708
 
6709
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6710
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6711
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6712
Major changes:
6713
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6714
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6715
 
6716
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6717
 
6718
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6719
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6720
      same directory
6721
 
6722
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6723
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6724
      documenattion.
6725
 
6726
Minor changes:
6727
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6728
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6729
 
6730
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6731
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6732
 
6733
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6734
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6735
 
6736
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6737
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6738
 
6739
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6740
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6741
      be exempt from this test.
6742
 
6743
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6744
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6745
 
6746
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6747
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6748
 
6749
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6750
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6751
      does.

6753
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6754
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6755

Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6759
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6760
Major changes:
6761
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6762
 
6763
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6764
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6765
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6766
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6767
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6768
 
6769
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6770
      operations.
6771
 
6772
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6773
 
6774
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6775
 
6776
Minor changes
6777
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6778
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6779
 
6780
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6781
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6782
      directory is not added to the library path.
6783
 
6784
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6785
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6786
 
6787
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6788
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6789
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6790
 
6791
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6792
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6793
      specific flags.
6794
 
6795
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6796
 
6797
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6798
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6799
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6800
 
6801
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6802
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6803
      JATS.
6804
 
6805
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6806
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6807
 
6808
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6809
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6810
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6811
 
6812
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6813
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6814
 
6815
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6816
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6817
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6818
 
6819
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6820
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6821
 
6822
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6823
 
6824
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6825
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6826
 
6827
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6828
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6829
      objects.
6830
 
6831
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6832
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6833
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6834
      build defendants.
