258
Minor changes:
259
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
260
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
261
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
262
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
263
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
264
 
265
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
266
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

276
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
277
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
278
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
279
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
280
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
281
      Report filter elements that are not used.
282

      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
285
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.

    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
288
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
289

Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
293
Major changes:
294
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
295
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
296
      intended to build deployed software.
297
 
298
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
299
      the DEVLINUX alias.
300
 
301
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
302
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
303
 
304
Minor changes:
305
    * Jats wrapper script
306
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
307
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
308
      Subversion instance of the command.
309
 
310
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
311
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
312
 
313
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
314
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.

318
      file under windows.

      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
322
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
323
 
324
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
325
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
326
 
327
    * GCC Toolchain
328
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

Major changes:
345
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
346
      Support for Intellect PAX.
347
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
348
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
349
 
350
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
351
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

Minor changes:
362
    * Utility: jats sandbox
363
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
364
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
365
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
366
      line.
367
 
368
    * Jats Configuration
369
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.

381
Major changes:
382
 
383
Minor changes:
384
    * Jats Core
385
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
386
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
387
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
388
 
389
    * Utility: svnsave_build
390
      Used only by the build daemons.
391
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
392
 
393
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
394
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
395
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

400
Major changes:
401
 
402
Minor changes:
403
    * svnrelease utility
404
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
405
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
406
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
407
 
408
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
409
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
410
      the named tag.
411
 
412
    * svnrelease utility
413
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
414
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

422
    * CHSHARP Toolset
423
      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
424
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
425
        covered by the makefile.
426
 
427
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
428
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
429
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
430
 
431
    * ALL Toolsets
432
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
433
 
434
    * Utility vcsdiff
435
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
436
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
437
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
445
    * Subversion Extraction
446
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
447
      directory of the tag.
448
 
449
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
450
      repository.
451
 
452
    * Subversion Support
453
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
454
      showing the user what to do.
455
 
456
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
457
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
458
      we have build support for this target.
459
 
460
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
461
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
462
 
463
Internal:
464
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
465
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
466
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
467
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

481
Major changes:
482
 
483
Minor changes:
484
    * Makefile generation
485
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
486
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
487
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
488
      of warnings.
489
 
490
    * Makefile Generation
491
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
492

------------------------------------------------------------------------
500
Major changes:
501
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
502
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
503
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
504
      these operations with a dedicated program.
505
 
506
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
507
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
508
      windows path scheme.
509
 
510
Minor changes:
511
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
512
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
513
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
514
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
515
 
516
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
517
        jats make clobber
518
      This operates as before.
519
 
520
    * Utility: escrow
521
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
522
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
523
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
524
 
525
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
526
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
527
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
528
 
529
    * Utility: svn : url
530
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
531
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
532
 
533
    * Utility: svn : import
534
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
535
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
536
 
537
    * Subversion Support
538
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
539
      showing the user what to do.
540
 
541
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
542
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
543
      repositories.

548
 
549
Minor changes:
550
    * Jats build
551
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
552
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
553
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
554
 
555
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 556
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 557

566
      Added two subcommands
567
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
568
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
569
                 Can also display available branches.
570
 
2054 dpurdie 571

577
 
578
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
579
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
580
      Modified two options:
581
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
582
                        The named branch must not exist
583
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
584
                        The named branch must exist
585
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

Major changes:
621
    * Jats Version Number
622
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
623
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
624
      significantly.
625
 
626
Minor changes:

636
Major changes:
637
    * Subversion support
638
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
639
      SubVersion. Changes include:
640
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
641
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
642
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
643
 
644
Minor changes:
645
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
646
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
647
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
648
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
649
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
650
 
651
    * Utility: svnsave_build
652
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
653
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
654
 
655
    * Linux support utilities
656
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
657
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
658

      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
666
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
667
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
668
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
669
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
670
 
671
Minor changes:
672
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
673
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
674
 
675
    * Utility: svnrelease
676
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
677
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
678
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
679
 
680
    * Utility: svnsave_build
681
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
682
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
683
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
684
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
685
 
686
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
687
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
688
 
689
    * Utility: sandbox
690
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
691
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
692
 
693
      Subcommand: populate
694
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
695
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
696
      sandbox.
697
 
698
    * Subversion Support
699
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
700
      repository is not supported.
701
 
702
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
703
      a progress indication.
704
 
705
    * Jats Online Documentation
706
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
707
      online documentation.
708
 
709
    * Generated makefiles
710
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

786
------------------------------------------------------------------------
787
Major changes:
788
 
789
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
790
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
791
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
792
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
793
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
794
 
795
    * C# Toolchain
796
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

806
 
807
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
808
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
809
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
810
 
811
    * Utility ccrelease
812
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
813
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
814
 
815
    * Utility: svn
816
      Improved package import processing.
817
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
818
 
819
    * Jats Utility: gen_cots
820
      Added support for Subversion.
821
      Subversion is supported on Windows and Unix.
822
      ClearCase is supported on Windows.
823
 
824
    * Jats Utility: vcsdiff
825
      New Utility. Will diff two versions of a package. Supports
826
      mixed ClearCase and Subversion versions.

844
------------------------------------------------------------------------
845
Major changes:
846
 
847
Minor changes:
848
    * Command: jats clobber
849
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
850
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
851
 
852
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
853
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
854
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
855
 
856
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
857
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
858
 
377 dpurdie 859
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
860
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
861
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 862
 
863
    * jats svnlabel
864
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
865
 
866
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
867
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
868
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
869
 
870
    * Built Daemon support
871
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
872
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
873

373 dpurdie 875
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
876
------------------------------------------------------------------------
877
Major changes:
878
    * GCC Toolset
879
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
880
      New methodology is:
881
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
882
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
883
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
884
        as the main binary.
885
 
886
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
887
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
888
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
889
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
890
      both worlds.
891
 
892
Minor changes:
893
    * HTML Documentation
894
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
895
 
896
Internal changes:
897
    * Generated makefiles
898
      Removed the make_usage target as it is inaccessible. It was replaced by

Major changes:
905
    * Jats Sandbox
906
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
907
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
908
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
909
 
910

1018
 
1019
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100

1021
 
1022
Minor changes:
1023
    * HTML Help
1024
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1025
 
1026
    * jats build -noforce
1027
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1028
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1029
      be forced.
1030
 
1031
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1032
 
1033
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1034
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1035
 
1036
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1037
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1038
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1039
 
1040
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1041
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1042
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1043
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1044
 
1045
    * Utility: svnrelease
1046
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1047
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1048
 
1049

1050
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1051
 
1052
    * Utility: svn
1053
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1054
      installed and can be used.
1055
 
1056
    * Toolset: CSharp
1057
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1058
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1059
      character.
1060
 
1061
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1062
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1063
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1064
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1065
      masking an error.
1066
 
1067
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1068
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1069
      enhancement.

1071
    * Toolset: dafbr
1072
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing

1075
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1076
        - Return correct path to package
1077
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1078
 
1079
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1080
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1081
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1082
 
1083
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1084
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1085
      packages.
1086
 
1087
    * make command: show
1088
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1089
      'jats make show' command.
1090
 
1091
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1092
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1093
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1094
 
1095
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1096
      executed on Unix machines.

1160
      in a package archive.
1161
 
1162
      Sub command: create
1163
      New option '-exact'. This will create a sandbox in which the package

      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
1165
      package version.
1166
 
1167
      Command specific help
1168

1317
    * BuildPlatform
1318
      New option: --NoToolSet
1319
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
1320
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
1321
 
1322
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
1323
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
1324
      need toolset specific information.
1325
 
1326
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
1327
 
1328
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

1334
 
1335
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
1336
      a ClearCase site.

1456
Minor changes:
1457
    * Jats label command
1458
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1459
      Not recommended for general use.
1460
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1461
      directories within the current view.
1462
 
1463
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1464
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1465
      elsewhere.
1466
 
1467
    * Jats save_build
1468
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1469
      the determination of a branch.
1470
 
1471
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1472
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1473
 
1474
    * Jats build
1475
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1476
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1477
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1478
 
1479
    * Borland6 toolset
1480
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1481
      to match the documented install location of:
1482
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1483
 
1484
    * Jats build
1485
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1486
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1487
      This is a very quick operation.
1488
 
1489
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1490
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1491
 
1492
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1493
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1494
      files are only recreated if need be.
1495
 
1496
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1497
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1498
      make the package.
1499
 
1500
    * Jats sandbox
1501
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1502
 
1503
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1504
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1505
 
1506
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1507
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1508
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1509
      is performed.
1510
 
1511
Internal:
1512
    * build.pl

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1549
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1550
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1551
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1552
 
1553
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1554
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1555
 
1556
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1557
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi

    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1580
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1581
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1582
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1583
 
1584
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a

    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1596
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1597
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1598
 
1599
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1600
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.

321 dpurdie 1609
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
1610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1611
Major changes:
1612
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1613
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1614
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1615
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1616
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1617
      stream.
1618
 
1619
      Example:
1620
 
1621
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1622
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1623
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1624
                     );
1625
Minor changes:
1626
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1627
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1628
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1629
      directive.
1630
 
1631
    * GCC Toolkit
1632
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1633
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1634
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1635
      the point of termination.
1636
 
1637
    * Jats save_build utility
1638
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1639
      under windows.
1640
 
1641
    * Jats sandbox
1642
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1643
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1644
      in different sandboxes.
1645
 
1646
    * Jats release
1647
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1648

Version:  2.83.1000.cr                               Released: 04-Feb-10
1651
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1652
Major changes:
1653
 
1654
Minor changes:
1655
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1656
      Added -locatedir=name
1657
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1658
      directory.
1659
 
1660
    * jats label utility
1661
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1662
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1663
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1664
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1665
 
1666
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1667
 
1668

317 dpurdie 1669
Version:  2.83.0000.cr                               Released: 20-Jan-10
315 dpurdie 1670
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1671
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 1672
 
1673
Minor changes:
1674
    * WinCe Toolsets
1675
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1676
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1677
        noExceptions            - Disable
1678
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1679
      Example:
1680
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1681
 
1682
    * Solaris targets
1683
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1684
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1685
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1686
      machine type.
1687
 
1688
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1689
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1690
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1691
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1692
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1693
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1694
      project files.
1695
 
1696
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1697
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1698
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1699
 
1700
Minor changes:
1701
    * Added more internal documentation
1702
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1703
 
1704
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1705
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1706
 
1707
    * Jats save_build utility
1708
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1709
      under windows.
1710
 
1711
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1712
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1713
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1714
      libraries.
1715
 
1716
    * Solaris builds
1717
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1718
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1719
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1720
      of the build failure.
1721
 
1722
 
1723
Internal changes:
1724
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1725
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1726
 
1727
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1728
      PkgArchive topics.

1732
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1733
Major changes:
1734
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1735
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1736
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1737
      existing 32-bit builds.
1738
 
1739
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1740
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1741
 
1742
Minor changes:
1743
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1744
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1745
 
1746
    * Package searching
1747
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1748
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1749
 
1750
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1751
 
1752
    * jats help
1753
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1754
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1755
 
1756
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1757
      with one of:
1758
        jats -h
1759
        jats help jats
1760
 
1761
Internal:
1762
    * cmdfile utility
1763
      Added macros:
1764
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1765
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1766
 
1767
      Corrected
1768
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1769
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1770
 
1771
      Extended
1772
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1773
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1774
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1775
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

1780
Major changes:
1781
 
1782
Minor changes:
1783
 
1784
Internal changes
1785
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1786
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1787
      Useful side effects include:
1788
 
1789
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1790
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1791
 
1792
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1793
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1794
 
1795
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1796
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1797
        BuildPkgArchive
1798
 
313 dpurdie 1799
    * Perl Modules
1800
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1801
      release. This will:
1802
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1803
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1804
          reported by ERG.
1805
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

1810
Major changes:
1811
 
1812
Minor changes:
1813
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1814
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1815
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1816
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1817
 
1818
    * Jats label utility
1819
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1820
 
1821
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1822
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1823
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1824
 
1825
    * Jats core
1826
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1827
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1828
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 1836
    * CSHARP toolset
1837
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1838
      This is now fixed.
1839
 
309 dpurdie 1840
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1841
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1842
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1843
 
1844
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1845
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
1846
 
1847

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1853
    * Generating makefiles
1854
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1855
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1856
      an error.
1857
 
1858
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1859
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1860
 
1861
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1862
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 1863

1868
Major changes:
1869
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1870
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1871
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1872
 
1873
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1874
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1875
 
1876
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1877
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1878
      Support includes
1879
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1880
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1881
 
1882
Minor changes:
1883
    * Build file processing
1884
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1885
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1886
 
1887
    * MOS builds
1888
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1889
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1890
 
1891
    * MOS builds
1892
      New 'known' product: PICP
1893
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1894
 
1895
    * GenerateFiles directive
1896
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1897
        under windows.
1898
 
1899
        .
1900
 
1901
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1902
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1903
 
1904
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1905
      to the output stream.
1906
 
1907
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1908
 
1909
    * Windows Shell
1910
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1911
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1912
 
1913
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1914
 
1915
    * H8S toolset
1916
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1917
 
1918
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1919
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1920
 
1921
Internal changes
1922
    * WinCe builds
1923
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1924
      content of the file.
1925
 
1926
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1927
 
1928
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1929
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1941
Major changes:
1942
 
1943
Minor changes:
1944
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1945
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1946
      Changes are transparent to users.
1947
 
1948
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1949
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1950
      this occurs.
1951
 
1952
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1953
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1954
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1955
      automated build framework.
1956
 
1957
    * jats sandbox command
1958
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1959
      'create' command.
1960
 
1961
    * jats command aliases. Added
1962
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1963
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
1964

2033
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2034
Major changes:
2035
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2036
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2037
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2038
 
2039
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2040
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2041
 
2042
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2043
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2044
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2045
           names cannot be changed.
2046
 
2047
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2048
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2049
 
2050
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2051
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2052
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2053
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2054
 
2055
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2056
      file.
2057
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2058
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2059
      MyPackage.dpk.
2060
 
2061
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2062
      file.
2063
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2064
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2065
      MyDll.dpr.
2066
 
2067
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2068
      file.
2069
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2070
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2071
      MyProg.dpr.
2072
 
2073
Minor changes:
2074
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2075
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2076
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2077
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2078
 
2079
    * BuildVersion directive
2080
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2081
      in a Delphi Unit.
2082
 
2083
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2084
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2085
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2086
      'know' the location of the files.
2087
 
2088
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2089
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2090
 
2091
Internal Changes:
2092
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2093
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2094
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2095
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2096
 
2097
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2098
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2099
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2103
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2104
Major changes:
2105
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2106
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2107
      information for purely C++ builds.
2108
 
289 dpurdie 2109
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2110
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2111
 
289 dpurdie 2112
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2113
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2114
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2115
 
2116
Minor changes:
2117
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2118
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2119
 
2120
    * updatenodespec utility
2121
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2122

2146
 
2147
Minor changes:
2148
    * MergeLibrary directive
2149

2157
 
2158
Minor changes:
2159
    * New command: jats make show
2160
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2161
      used in the build.
2162
 
2163
    * Escrow command
2164
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2165
 
2166
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2167
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2168
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2169
 
2170
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2171
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2172
 
2173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
279 dpurdie 2174

277 dpurdie 2175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2176
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2177
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2178
 
279 dpurdie 2179
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2180
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2181
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2182
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2183
 
2184
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2185
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2186
 
2187
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2188
 
2189
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2190
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2191
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2192
 
2193
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2194
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2195
        processed.
2196
 
2197
      Removed the '-delete' option
2198
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2199
 
277 dpurdie 2200
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2201
    * Sandbox command
2202
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2203
 
2204
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2205
      target from consideration in the build set.
2206
 
2207
    * MCR Toolset
2208
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2209
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2210
 
2211
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2212
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2213
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2214
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2215
 
2216
    * Jats run_test command
2217
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2218
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2219
 
2220
    * descpkg file
2221
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2222
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2223
 
2224
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2225
     Now contains build trace information
2226
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2227
 
2228
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2229
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2230
     it contains 'jar' files.
2231
 
2232
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2233
 
2234
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2235
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2236
 
2237
   * BuildVersion directive
2238
     Form:
2239
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2240
     now works as expected.
2241
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2242
 
2243
Internal Changes:
2244
 
2245
    * Error reporting mechanism
2246
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2247
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2248
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
2258
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
2259
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
2260
    then starts.
2261
 
2262
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2263
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2264
 
2265
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2266
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2267
    non-platform option.
2268
 
279 dpurdie 2269
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

2282
    * Jats Utility: dstatus
2283
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
2284
 
2285
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
2286
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
2287
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
2288
 
2289
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
2290
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
2291
 
2292
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
2293
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
2294
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
2295
        GBE_MAKE_CMD                - Current make target
2296
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
2297
 
2298
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
2299
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
2300
      to the invoked application.
2301
 
2302
Internal Changes:
2303
    * JatsCopy Package

2408
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2409
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
2410
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

2432
 
2433
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2434
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2435
 
2436
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

2529
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
2530
      programs.
2531
 
2532
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
2533

2602
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2603
      Previously was being done at two places
2604
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2605
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but

2684
        CSHARP2005
2685
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2686
         Support extends to allow:
2687
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2688
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2689
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2690
 
2691
        VS2005
2692
         Support extends to allow:
2693
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2694
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2695
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2696
 
2697
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2698
      through a version selector:
2699
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2700
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2701
 
2702
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2703
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2704
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2705
 
2706
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2707
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2708
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2709
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2710
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2711
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2712
          under VS2005.
2713
 
2714
Minor changes:
2715
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
2720
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2721
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2722
 
2723
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2724
 
2725
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2726
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2727
 
2728
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2729
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2730
      a minimal value of perl.
2731
 
2732
      Removed excessive require statements.
2733

      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2741
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2742
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2743
      machines.
2744
 
2745
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2746
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2747
 
2748
    * JATS Environment
2749
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2750
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2751
 
2752
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2753
      wrapper scripts.
2754
 
2755
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2756
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2757
      Spell check help and code.

      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
2786
      was added.
2787
 
2788
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
2789
      reviewing a new package.
2790
 
2791

2809
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2810
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2811
  * New toolset and platform
2812
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2813
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2814
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2815
    this platform.
2816
 
2817
Minor changes:
2818
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2819
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2820
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2821
    work.
2822
 
2823
  * Jats utility: release
2824
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2825
    published to dpkg_archive.
2826
 
249 dpurdie 2827
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2828
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2829
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2830
    supported for ANT builds.
2831
 
2832
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2833
        releasemanager.releasename
2834
        releasemanager.projectname
2835
 
2836
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2837
    tagged data item of the form
2838
 
2839
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2840
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2841
 
2842
  * Mug File Generation
2843
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2844
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2845
 
2846
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2847
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2848
    required.
2849
 
2850
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2851
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2852
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2853
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2854
    the files in order to use them.
2855
 
2856
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2857
    locate the file.
2858
 
2859
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2860
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2861
 
2862
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2863
        * CSharp
2864
        * Properties
2865
        * WinRC
2866
 
2867
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2868
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2869
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2870
    Value is correctly assigned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2875
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2876
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2877
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2878
 
2879
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2880
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2881
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2882
 
2883
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2884
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2885
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2886
 
2887
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2888
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2889
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2890
 
2891
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2892
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2893
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2894
    correct.
2895
 
2896
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2897
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2898
 
2899
Minor changes:
2900
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2901
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2902
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2903
 
2904
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2905
    This will simplify new user setup.
2906
 
2907
  * All Unix Toolsets
2908
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2909
    on unix systems
2910
 
2911
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2912
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2913
    on some Solaris Machines.
2914
 
2915
  * JATS -version=<version>
2916
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2917
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

2968
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2969
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2970
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2971
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or

      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3138
 
3139
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3140
 
3141
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3142
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3143
 
3144
    * Running Jats
3145
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3146
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3147
      This may affect some windows developers.
3148
 
3149
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3150
      Future versions will generate an error.
3151
 
3152
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3153
 
3154
Minor changes:
3155
    * Perl Version Check
3156
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3157
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3158
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3159
 
3160
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3161
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3162
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3163
      build.
3164
 
3165
    * Jats Internals
3166
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3167
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3168
 
3169
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3170
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3171
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3172
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3173
      process.
3174
 
3175
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3176
      Only works under Windows.
3177
 
3178
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3179
 
3180
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3181
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3182
 
3183
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3184
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3185
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3186
 
3187
    * Jats eprog
3188
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3189
      directory.
3190
 
3191
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3192
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3193
      build metrics.
3194

Version: 2.71.6.cr                                Released: 18-Dec-07
3197
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3198
Major changes:
3199
 
3200
Minor changes:
3201
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3202
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3203
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3204
      automated build system. New options are:
3205
        -pname=Package_Name
3206
        -pversion=Package_Version
3207
 
3208
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3209
      transferring the package. New options are:
3210
        -test
3211
 
3212
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3213
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3214
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3215
 
3216
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3217
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3218
 
3219
    * Solaris Toolset
3220
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3221
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3222
      programs are still supported.
3223

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3227
Major changes:
3228
 
3229
Minor changes:
3230
    * WINCE toolsets
3231
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3232
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3233
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3234
      when header files cannot be found.
3235
 
3236
    * GenerateFiles directive
3237
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3238
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3239
      that are difficult to solve.
3240
 
3241
    * MakePerlModule directive
3242
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3243
      to the the module builder.
3244
 
3245
    * Jats Tool: label
3246
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3247
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3248
      -dirs=xxx options.
3249
 
3250
    * Jats Tool: release
3251
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3252
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3253
 
3254
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3255
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3256
 
3257
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3258
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3259
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3260
 
3261
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

3267
Major changes:
3268
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3269
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3270
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3271
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3272
 
3273
Minor changes:
3274
    * label utility
3275
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3276
 
3277
    * make package and install operations
3278
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3279
      transfer.
3280
 
3281
    * make clean up
3282
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3283
 
3284
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3285
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3286
      minor file transformations such as:
3287
        Copy, with optional rename
3288
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3289
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3290
 
3291
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3292
 
3293
    * jats release utility
3294
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3295
      in place.
3296
 
3297
    * escrow utility
3298
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3299
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Major changes:
3305
 
3306
Minor changes:
3307
    * Makefile generation
3308
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3309
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3310
      generate phase early.
3311
 
3312

3313
Version: 2.71.2.cr                                Released: 09-Nov-07
3314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3315
Major changes:
3316
 
3317
Minor changes:
3318
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3319
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3320
 
3321
    * Makefile generation
3322
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3323
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3324
 
3325
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3326
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3327
 
3328
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3329
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3330
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3331
 
3332
    * jats_rewrite utility
3333
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3334
 
3335
    * jats escrow utility
3336
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3337
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3338
 
3339
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3340
      inconsistent packages.
3341
 
3342
    * jats make help
3343
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3344
      available within the current build.
3345
 
3346
    * jats makefiles
3347
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3348
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3349
 
3350
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3351
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3352
 
3353
    * gcc toolset
3354
      SharedLibries.
3355
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3356
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3357
 
3358
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3359
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3360
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3361
 
3362
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3363
        New options:
3364
            --MultiScan
3365
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3366
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3367
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

3372
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3373
Major changes:
3374
 
3375
Minor changes:
3376
    PackageLib directive
3377
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3378
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3379
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3380
 
3381
    MakefileGenerate directive
3382
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3383
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3384
 
3385
    Multiple Parent detection
3386
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3387
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3388
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3389
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3390
 
3391
    Solaris Toolset
3392
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3393
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3394
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3395
    link.
3396
 
3397
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3398
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3399
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3400
 
3401
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3402
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3403
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3404
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3409
Major changes:
3410
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3411
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3412
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3413
 
3414
    Summary of changes:
3415
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3416
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3417
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3418
          flexibility.
3419
 
3420
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3421
 
3422
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3423
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3424
          interface directory and associated build information.
3425
 
3426
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3427
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3428
          than one second.
3429
 
3430
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3431
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3432
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3433
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3434
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3435
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3436
 
3437
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3438
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3439
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3440
 
3441
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3442
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3443
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3444
          building them.
3445
 
3446
        - Detection of build file changes
3447
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3448
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3449
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3450
 
3451
        - Quieter make output
3452
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3453
 
3454
 
3455
Minor changes:
3456
    MakeAnt Directive
3457
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3458
 
3459
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3460
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3461
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3462
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3463
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3464
 
3465
    CSHARP toolset
3466
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3467

Minor changes:
3474
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3475
    are generated.
3476
 
3477
    MakeAnt
3478
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3479
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3480
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3481
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3482
 
3483
    MCR platform
3484

3492
Minor changes:
3493
    MakeAnt directive extended
3494
    New option: --PackageBase
3495
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3496
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3497
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3498
 
3499
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3500
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3501
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3502
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
3522
 
3523
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3524
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3525
 
3526
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3527
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3528
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3529
 
3530
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3531

Minor changes:
3561
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3562
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3563
 
3564
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3565
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3566
      last.
3567
 
3568
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3569
 
3570
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3571
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3572
 
3573
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3574
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3575
 
3576
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3577
 
3578
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3579
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3580
 
3581
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3582
 
3583
 
3584
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3585
           with the --System option
3586
 
3587
    * LMOS target platform
3588
      Includes LINUX_ETX

3593
Major changes:
3594
 
3595
Minor changes:
3596
    * Solaris Toolset
3597
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3598
      dependent packages.
3599
 
3600
    * RunTest operation
3601
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3602
 
3603
    * Csharp toolkit
3604
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
3605

3608
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3609
Major changes:
3610
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3611
 
3612
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3613
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3614
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3615
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3616
      path.
3617
 
3618
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3619
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3620
      reproducible.
3621
 
3622
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3623
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3624
 
3625
      There are several aspects to the change
3626
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3627
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3628
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3629
 
3630
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3631
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3632
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3633
          controlled separately.
3634
 
3635
Minor changes:
3636
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3637
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3638
        Remove duplicates
3639
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3640

3642
Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3643
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3644
Major changes:
3645
 
3646
Minor changes:
3647
    * Makefile sanity test
3648
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3649
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3650
 
3651
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3652
      x86 machine.
3653
 
3654
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3655
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3656
 
3657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3658
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3659
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3660
Major changes:
3661
    * RunTest directive
3662
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3663
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3664
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3665
 
3666
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3667
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3668
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3669
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3670
 
3671
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3672
        builder within the current toolset.
3673
 
3674
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3675
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3676
 
3677
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3678
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3679
      containing the RunTest directive.
3680
 
3681
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3682
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3683
 
3684
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3685
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3686
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3687
 
3688
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3689
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3690
                            P or D suffix.
3691
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3692
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3693
 
3694
Minor changes:
3695
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3696
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3697
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3698
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3699
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3700
 
3701
    * Save Build Utility
3702
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3703
      used in a ripple build.
3704
 
3705
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3706
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3707
 
3708
    * Release Utility
3709
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3710
      when an error is encountered.
3711
 
3712
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3713
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3714
 
3715
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3716
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3717
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3718
 
3719
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3720
      before the makefiles are created.
3721
 
3722
    * TestProg directive
3723
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3724
 
3725
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3726
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3727

3731
Major changes:
3732
    * New build target
3733
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3734
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3735
 
3736
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3737
            DEVLINUX
3738
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3739
 
3740
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3741
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3742
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3743
 
3744
Minor changes:
3745
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3746
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3747
 
3748
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3749
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3750
 
3751
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3752
      and .cs files.
3753
 
3754
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3755
      thing.
3756
 
3757
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3758
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3759
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3760
      were it places temp files.
3761
 
3762
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3763
      interaction with other builds.
3764
 
3765
    * Release utility command
3766
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3767
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3768
      component in the clearcase tag name.

3783
  * Unit Tests
3784
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3785
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3786
 
3787
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

3829
  * Deployment
3830
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3831
 
3832
  * build.pl
3833
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3834
 
3835
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3836
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3837
 
3838
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3839
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3840
    build.
3841
 
3842
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3843
 
3844
  * Tool: escrow
3845
     New features
3846

3847
     are not in the SBOM.
3848
 
3849
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3850

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

3921
 
3922
  * New build platforms
3923
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3924
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3925
 
3926
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3927
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3928
 
3929
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3930
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3931
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3932
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3933
 
3934
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3935
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3936
    release.
3937
 
3938
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3939
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3940
 
3941
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3942
    need to be converted.
3943
 
3944
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3945
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3946
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3947
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3948
    used for different targets platforms.
3949
 
3950
  * Sandbox support
3951
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3952
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3953
 
3954
    New command: jats sandbox ...
3955
 
3956
Minor changes:
3957
 
3958
 
3959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3960
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
3961
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3962
Major changes:
3963
  * MakeAnt directive
3964
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3965
 
3966
    New options
3967
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3968
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3969
 
3970
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3971
    run_unit_tests phase.
3972
 
3973
  * Sandbox support
3974
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3975
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3976
 
3977
Minor changes:
3978
  * jats build
3979
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3980
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3981
 
3982
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3983
 
3984
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3985
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3986
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3987
 
3988
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3989
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3990
 
3991
  * JATS.BAT
3992
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3993
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3994
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3995
 
3996
  * jats label
3997
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3998
 
3999
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4000
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4002
Major changes:
4003
  * New build platform:
4004
        LMOS_TP5600
4005
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4006
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4007
 
4008
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4009
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4010
    describe the group of platforms.
4011
 
4012
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4013
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4014
    build these targets.
4015
 
4016
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4017
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4018
 
4019
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4020
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4021
 
4022
  * New build platform: WINCE
4023
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4024
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4025
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4026
 
4027
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4028
            WCEIT3000
4029
            WCEPA961
4030
            WCEPA962
4031
            WCEPCM7220
4032
            WCEPSION_420
4033
            WCEPSPC_arm
4034
            WCEPSPC_emu
4035
            WCEX86A420
4036
            WCEX86A500
4037
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4038
 
4039
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4040
 
4041
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4042
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4043
    that contain packaging directives.
4044
 
4045
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4046
    very unusual configurations.
4047
 
4048
Minor changes:
4049
  * Directive: PackageFile
4050
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4051
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4052
    an '='.
4053
 
4054
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4055
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4056
 
4057
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4058
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4059
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4060
 
4061
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4062
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4063
 
4064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4065
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4067
Major changes:
4068
 
4069
  * JATS release command
4070
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4071
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4072
 
4073
    Rules are:
4074
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4075
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4076
                            File will be placed on a branch
4077
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4078
                            New directory will branch
4079
 
4080
Minor changes:
4081
  * JATS release command
4082
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4083
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4084
 
4085
  * JATS label command
4086
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4087
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4088
 
4089
  * JATS make
4090
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4091
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4092
    was re-packaged.
4093
 
4094
  * JATS escrow
4095
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4096
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4097
 
4098
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4099
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4100
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4101
 
4102
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4103
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4104
    interface directory.
4105
 
4106
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4107
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4108
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4109
    directory as seen by the package.
4110
 
4111
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4112
 
4113
  * JAVA 6
4114
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4115
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4116
 
4117
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4118
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4119
 
4120
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4121
 
4122
  * Jats command: vars
4123
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4124
    These indicate potential problems.
4125
 
4126
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4127
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4129
Major changes:
4130
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4131
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4132
    libarry is also created.
4133
 
4134
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4135
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4136
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4137
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4138
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4139
    information contained within the file.
4140
 
4141
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4142
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4143
 
4144
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4145
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4146
 
4147
  * Building Perl Modules
4148
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4149
    documentation on the build machine.
4150
 
4151
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4152
 
4153
Minor changes:
4154
  * jats create_dpkg
4155
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4156
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4157
 
4158
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4159
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4160
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4161
Major changes:
4162
  * JATS JAVA build target
4163
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4164
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4165
 
4166
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4167
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4168
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4169
    is then picked up as the default version.
4170
 
4171
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4172
    build.pl file.
4173
 
4174
Minor changes:
4175
  * jats release
4176
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4177
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4178
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4179
 
4180
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4181
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4182
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4183
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4184
    the name of the view.
4185
 
4186
  * GenerateFiles directive
4187
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4188
 
4189
  * MOS Toolset
4190
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4191
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4192
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4193
 
4194
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4195
 
4196
 
4197
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4198
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4199
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4200
Major changes:
4201
 
4202
Minor changes:
4203
  * JATS environment
4204
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4205
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4206
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4207
 
4208
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4209
 
4210
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4211
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4212
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4213
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4214
    to be packaged.
4215
 
4216
  * Generated makefiles
4217
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4218
 
4219
  * Generating MOS THX files
4220
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4221
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4222
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4223
 
4224
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4225
 
4226
  * JATS release
4227
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4228
 
4229
  * JATS extract
4230
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4231
 
4232
  * JATS Toolset
4233
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4234
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4235
 
4236
 
4237
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4238
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4239
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4240
Major changes:
4241
 
4242
Minor changes:
4243
  * jats label
4244
    Added a -vob=name option
4245
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4246
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4247
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4248
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4249
 
4250
    Added a -user=name option
4251
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4252
    label to the named user.
4253
 
4254
  * jats release
4255
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4256
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4257
 
4258
  * JATS build.pl
4259
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4260
    ie:
4261
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4262
 
4263
 
4264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4265
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4267
Major changes:
4268
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4269
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4270
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4271
    the makefile internals. ie:
4272
        --Var(BuildName)
4273
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4274
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4275
 
4276
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4277
 
4278
  * GenerateFiles
4279
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4280
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4281
 
4282
  * BuildPlatforms
4283
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4284
 
4285
Minor changes:
4286
  * GCC Toolset
4287
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4288
 
4289
Internal changes:
4290
  * GenerateFiles
4291
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4292
 
4293
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4294
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4295
 
4296
 
4297
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4298
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4299
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4300
Major changes:
4301
  * Caching JATS
4302
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4303
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4304
 
4305
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4306
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4307
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4308
 
4309
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4310
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4311
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4312
 
4313
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4314
 
4315
Minor changes:
4316
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4317
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4318
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4319
 
4320
  * jats build
4321
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4322
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4323
    processed by the build.
4324
 
4325
  * jats build
4326
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4327
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4328
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4329
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4330
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4331
 
4332
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4333
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4334
    Path is not specified.
4335
 
4336
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4337
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4338
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4339
        --Dir=$Pinc
4340
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4341
 
4342
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4343
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4344
    Windows platform.
4345
 
4346
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4347
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4348
            by 'purecov.
4349
 
4350
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4351
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4352
 
4353
        - OPTIONS=purify
4354
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4355
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4356
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4357

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
4361
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4362
Major changes:
4363
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4364
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4365
    Example:
4366
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4367
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4368
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4369
 
4370
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4371
    been determined.
4372
 
4373
Minor changes:
4374
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4375
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4376
    located at build-time.
4377
 
4378
  * Unix based systems
4379
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4380
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4381
 
4382
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4383
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4384
    driver being built.
4385
 
4386

4402
    dependancy information within a package.
4403
 
4404
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4405
    messages.

4414
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4415
 
4416
    GenerateFiles.
4417
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4418
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4419
                      be run on every invocation.
4420
 
4421
 
4422
Minor changes:

4425
 
4426
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
4427
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4428
  There are two mechanism:
4429
 
4430
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4431
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4432
 
4433
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4434
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4435
 
4436
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4437
  default.
4438
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
4439
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

4445
  * SunWorks Toolset
4446
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4447
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4448
    It is based on machine type.
4449
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4450
 
4451
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4452
 
4453
Minor changes:
4454

4462
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4463
Major changes:
4464
  * GCC Toolset
4465
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
4466
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
4467

    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4472
    TP5600_EMU
4473
 
4474
Minor changes:

4476
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
4477
    field separator.
4478
 
4479
  * JATS eprog command
4480
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4481
 
4482
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4483
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4484
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4485
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4486
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4487
 
4488
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4489
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4490
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4491
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4492
 
4493
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4494
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
4506
 
4507
 
4508
Minor changes:
4509
  * JATS wrapper script
4510
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4511
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4512
    to setup links to system programs.
4513

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

        debug_debuginfo
4553
 
4554
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4555
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4556
    Theses are:
4557
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4558
        SOLARIS_AMD
4559
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4560
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4561
 
4562
Minor changes:
4563
  * AT3232 toolset
4564
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
4565
 
4566
  * Jats build

Major changes:
4574
 
4575
Minor changes:
4576
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4577
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4578
    messages
4579
 
4580
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4581
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4582
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4583
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4584

4588
Major changes:
4589
 
4590
Minor changes:
4591
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4592
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4593
    library without creating the body of the library:
4594
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4595
 
4596
 
4597
  * MOS toolsets
4598
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4599
    library without creating the body of the library:
4600
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4601
 
4602
  * JATS BIN directories
4603
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4604
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4605
    using autoconf.
4606
 
4607
  * Generate directive
4608
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4609
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4610
 
4611
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4612

4617
Major changes:
4618
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4619

4626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4627
Major changes:
4628
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4629
    Initial release.
4630
 
4631
  * Packaging directives
4632
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4633
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4634
 
4635
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4636
        SOLARIS
4637
        WIN32
4638
 
4639
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4640
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4641
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4642
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4643
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4644
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4645
 
4646
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4647
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4648
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4649
 
4650
 
4651
Minor changes:
4652
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4653
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4654
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4655
 
4656
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4657
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4658
    location
4659
 
4660
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4661
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4662
 
4663
  * Utility genrc
4664
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4665
 
4666
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4667
    Added option: -new
4668
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4669
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4670
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4671
 
4672
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4673
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4674
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4675
 
4676
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4677
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4678
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4679
 
4680
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4681
   features - in a uniform manner.
4682
 
4683
 
4684
Internal Changes:
4685
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4686
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4687
 
4688
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4689
        1) Platform information available at build time
4690
        2) Dynamic platform names
4691
 
4692
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4693
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4694
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4695
 
4696
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4697
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4698
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4699
 
4700
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4701
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4702
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4703
    needed.
4704
 
4705
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4706
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4707
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4708
    files from all of these.
4709
 
4710

4721
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4722
Major changes:
4723
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4724
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4725
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4726
 
4727
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4728
 
4729
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4730
    the operations.
4731
 
4732
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4733
 
4734
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4735
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4736
 
4737
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4738
 
4739
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4740
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4741
 
4742
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4743
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4744
    Extended the built-in help
4745
    Added useful error messages
4746
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4747
 
4748
  * WinCE toolset
4749
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4750
 
4751
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4752
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4753
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4754
 
4755
Minor changes:
4756
  * JATS wrapper script
4757
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4758
    the command line.
4759
 
4760
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4761
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4762
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4763
 
4764
Internal Changes:
4765
  * Common Error Reporting
4766
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4767
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4768
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4769
    level.
4770
 
4771
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4772
    displayed.
4773
 
4774
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4775
 
4776
  * Added JatsSystem module
4777
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4778
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4779
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
4780
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4781
Major changes:
4782
 
4783
Minor changes:
4784
  * BR Compiler toolset
4785
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4786
    .def files to include other files.
4787
 
4788
  * IAR toolset
4789
    Added AT7272 support
4790
 
4791
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4792
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4793
 
4794
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4795
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4797
Major changes:
4798
 
4799
Minor changes:
4800
  * BR Compiler toolset
4801
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4802
    use.
4803
 
4804
 
4805
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4806
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4807
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4808
Major changes:
4809
 
4810
Minor changes:
4811
  * Mictotec toolset
4812
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4813
    builds.
4814
 
4815
  * JATS Core
4816
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4817
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4818
    behaviour.
4819
 
4820
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4821
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4822
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4823
Major changes:
4824
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4825
    Deployment package will be affected.
4826
 
4827
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4828
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4829
 
4830
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4831
 
4832
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4833
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4834
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4835
    packages.
4836
 
4837
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4838
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4839
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4840
 
4841
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4842
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4843
 
4844
Minor changes:
4845
  * SubDir directive
4846
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4847
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4848
 
4849
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4850
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4851
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4852
    of the file usage.
4853
 
4854
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4855
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4856
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4857
 
4858
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4859
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4860
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4861
 
4862
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4863
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4864
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4865
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4866
 
4867
 
4868
Internal Changes:
4869
  * Code refactor
4870
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4871
 
4872
  * Deployment utilities
4873
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4874
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4875
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4876
    the module can locate the file.
4877
 
4878
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4879
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4880
 
4881
  * JATS core
4882
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4883
 
4884
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4885
 
4886
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4887
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4888
    through the use of environment variables.
4889
 
4890
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4891
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4892
 
4893
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4894
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4895
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4896
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4897
 
4898
  * Make environment
4899
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4900
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4901
 
4902
 
4903
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4904
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4905
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4906
Major changes:
4907
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4908
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4909
 
4910
 
4911
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4912
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4913
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4914
 
4915
Not Released.
4916
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4917
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4918
 
4919
 
4920
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4921
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4922
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4923
Major changes:
4924
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4925
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4926
    radically replaced.
4927
 
4928
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4929
    Usage:
4930
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4931
 
4932
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4933
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4934
    this solution:
4935
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4936
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4937
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4938
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4939
 
4940
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4941
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4942
    order to work.
4943
 
4944
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4945
    reduced functionality.
4946
 
4947
 
4948
Minor changes:
4949
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4950
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4951
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4952
 
4953
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4954
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4955
    within the makefiles.
4956
        Options:
4957
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4958
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4959
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4960
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4961
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4962
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4963
        Useage:
4964
 
4965
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4966
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4967
 
4968
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4969
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4970
    is not in the current directory.
4971
 
4972
  * Jats Command: ant'
4973
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4974
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4975
 
4976
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4977
 
4978
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4979
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4980
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4981
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4982
 
4983
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4984
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4985
    Thus
4986
 
4987
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4988
 
4989
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4990
 
4991
 
4992
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4993
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4995
Major changes:
4996
 
4997
Minor changes:
4998
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4999
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5000
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5001
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5002
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5003
 
5004
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5005
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5006
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5007
 
5008
Internal changes:
5009
  * JATS toolsets
5010
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5011
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5012
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5013
 
5014
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5015
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5016
 
5017
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5018
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5019
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5020
Major changes:
5021
  * Jats command: etool
5022
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5023
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5024
 
5025
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5026
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5027
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5028
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5029
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5030
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5031
 
5032
Minor changes:
5033
 
5034
 
5035
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5036
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5037
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5038
Major changes:
5039
  * JATS environment variables
5040
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5041
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5042
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5043
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5044
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5045
 
5046
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5047
              Remote repository
5048
 
5049
    Added GBE_DPLY
5050
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5051
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5052
 
5053
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5054
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5055
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5056
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5057
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5058
 
5059
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5060
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5061
 
5062
 
5063
Minor changes:
5064
  * JATS utility: build
5065
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5066
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5067
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5068
 
5069
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5070
    Ensure label is not locked
5071
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5072
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5073
 
5074
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5075
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5076
    to a specific type of build.
5077
 
5078
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5079
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5080
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5081
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5082
 
5083
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5084
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5085
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5086
 
5087
  * JATS utility: release
5088
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5089
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5090
 
5091
  * JATS utility: label
5092
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5093
    when it is being created.
5094
 
5095
Internal Changes
5096
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5097
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5098
 
5099
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5100
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5101
 
5102
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5103
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5104
    different results.
5105
 
5106
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5107
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5108
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5109
 
5110
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5111
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5112
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5113
Major changes:
5114
 
5115
  * MCR toolset
5116
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5117
 
5118
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5119
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5120
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5121
Major changes:
5122
  * WIN32 utilities
5123
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5124
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5125
 
5126
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5127
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5128
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5129
 
5130
Minor changes:
5131
  * BuildVersion
5132
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5133
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5134
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5135
 
5136
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5137
 
5138
  * Unix Builds
5139
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5140
    library or a shared library.
5141
 
5142
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5143
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5144
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5145
    start with 'lib'.
5146
 
5147
  * BuildPkgArchive
5148
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5149
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5150
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5151

5153
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5154
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5155
Major changes:
5156
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5157
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5158
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5159
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5160
    being manually maintained.
5161
 
5162
 
5163
Minor changes:
5164
  * MakeAnt directive
5165
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5166
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5167
    supports ANT builds.
5168
 
5169
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5170
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5171
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5172
 
5173
  * Label utility
5174
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5175
    files to be labeled.
5176
 
5177
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5178
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5179
    on Solaris.
5180
 
5181
  * Generated makefiles
5182
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5183
    nothing.
5184
 
5185
  * MOS Toolset
5186
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5187
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5188
    modules.
5189
 
5190
  * Utility: gen_cots
5191
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5192
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5193
 
5194
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5195
 
5196
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5197
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5198
 
5199
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5200
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5201
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5202
Major changes:
5203
  None
5204
 
5205
Minor changes:
5206
  * DEVI addressed
5207
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5208
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5209
 
5210
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5211
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5212
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5213
 
5214
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5215
 
5216
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5217
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5218
 
5219
  * RunTest directive
5220
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5221
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5222
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5223
 
5224
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5225
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5226
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5227
    packaged under JATS
5228
 
5229
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5230
          supported within JATS.
5231
 
5232
  * Jats utility wrapper
5233
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5234
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5235
 
5236
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5237
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5238
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5239
 
5240
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5241
    Eg: jats ant
5242
 
5243
  * Jats utility wrapper
5244
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5245
 
5246
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5247
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5248
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5249
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5250
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5251
 
5252
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5253
    expect a build.pl file.
5254
 
5255
  * Jats utility wrapper
5256
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5257
 
5258
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5259
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5260
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5261
 
5262
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5263
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5264
 
5265
  * Build files
5266
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5267
    ERG extensions.
5268
 
5269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5270
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5271
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5272
Major changes:
5273
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5274
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5275
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5276
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5277
 
5278
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5279
 
5280
Minor changes:
5281
  * None
5282
 
5283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5284
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5285
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5286
Major changes:
5287
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5288
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5289
    ie:
5290
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5291
 
5292
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5293
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5294
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5295
    environments are compatible.
5296
 
5297
 
5298
Minor changes:
5299
  * BuildName option
5300
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5301
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5302
 
5303
  * jats.bat
5304
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5305
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5306
 
5307
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5308
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5309
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310
Major changes:
5311
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5312
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5313
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5314
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5315
 
5316
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5317
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5318
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5319
 
5320
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5321
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5322
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5323
 
5324
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5325
    transferred.
5326
 
5327
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5328
    See notes below.
5329
 
5330
  * WIN32 toolset
5331
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5332
    correctly.
5333
 
5334
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5335
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5336
 
5337
  * BuildVersion
5338
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5339
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5340
    other langauges as needed.
5341
 
5342
 
5343
Minor changes:
5344
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5345
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5346
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5347
    version strings.
5348
 
5349
  * GenerateFiles directive
5350
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5351
    package or an imported package.
5352
 
5353
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5354
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5355
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5356
 
5357
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5358
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5359
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5360
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5361
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5362
 
5363
Internal Changes
5364
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5365
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5366
    of utilities.
5367
 
5368
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5369
    functions.
5370
 
5371
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5372
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5373
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5374
Major changes:
5375
  * Generated makefiles
5376
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5377
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5378
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5379
 
5380
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5381
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5382
    incorrectly processing:
5383
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5384
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5385
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5386
    confused.
5387
 
5388
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5389
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5390
    The construct
5391
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5392
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5393
    then it works.
5394
 
5395
  * MakeAnt directive
5396
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5397
 
5398
    This option has the following effects
5399
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5400
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5401
 
5402
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5403
           early - in the generated files phase.
5404
 
5405
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5406
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5407
 
5408
 
5409
Minor changes:
5410
  * JATS post-installation script
5411
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5412
 
5413
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5414
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5415
    windows.
5416
 
5417
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5418
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5419
 
5420
  * Jats wrapper script
5421
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5422
        1) Contain spaces
5423
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5424
 
5425
  * Toolset
5426
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5427
 
5428
  * JAVA toolset
5429
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5430
    directive:
5431
 
5432
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5433
 
5434
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5435
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5436
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5437
 
5438
  * GCC Toolset
5439
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5440
 
5441
  * Makefile generation
5442
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5443
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5444
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5445
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5446
    package could not be used.
5447
 
5448
  * Unit Tests
5449
    The following environment variables are set:
5450
 
5451
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5452
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5453
 
5454
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5455
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5456
 
5457
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5458
 
5459
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5460
 
5461
 
5462
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5463
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5464
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5465
Major changes:
5466
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5467
 
5468
    Special features of this toolset.
5469
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5470
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5471
       incorporated within the target image.
5472
 
5473
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5474
       --Set=Name=Value
5475
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5476
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5477
 
5478
       --Ref=name
5479
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5480
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5481
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5482
                will be taken from the build version number.
5483
 
5484
Minor changes:
5485
  * MOS Toolset
5486
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5487
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5488
    packaged.
5489
 
5490
  * Src directive
5491
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5492
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5493
    specifier.
5494
 
5495
  * WIN32 runtime support
5496
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5497
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5498
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5499
 
5500
Internal:
5501
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5502
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5503
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5504
 
5505
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5506
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5507
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5508
Major changes:
5509
    * BuildAlias directive
5510
      Added options.
5511
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5512
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5513
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5514
                          targets.
5515
      Eg:
5516
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5517
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5518
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5519
 
5520
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5521
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5522
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5523
 
5524
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5525
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5526
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5527
 
5528
 
5529
Minor changes:
5530
  * Label utility
5531
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5532
    build.pl file
5533
 
5534
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5535
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5536
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5537
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5538
    --FilterIn option.
5539
 
5540
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5541
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5542
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5543
 
5544
  * Location of descpkg file
5545
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5546
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5547
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5548
 
5549
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5550
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5551
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5552
Major changes:
5553
  * RunTest directive
5554
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5555
    Additional options
5556
      --CopyIn=file
5557
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5558
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5559
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5560
        the test area.
5561
 
5562
    Additional operations
5563
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5564
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5565
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5566
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5567
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5568
    Allows flags:
5569
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5570
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5571
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5572
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5573
 
5574
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5575
    existence is tested.
5576
 
5577
  * Packaging Directives
5578
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5579
    such as LMOS.
5580
 
5581
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5582
 
5583
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5584
 
5585
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5586
 
5587
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5588
 
5589
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5590
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5591
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5592
 
5593
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5594
 
5595
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5596
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5597
 
5598
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5599
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5600
 
5601
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5602
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5603
 
5604
Minor changes:
5605
  * Script directive
5606
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5607
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5608
 
5609
  * JATS environment
5610
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5611
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5612
    the JATS wrapper script.
5613
 
5614
  * Label utility
5615
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5616
    There are three modes of operation:
5617
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5618
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5619
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5620

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5623
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5625
Major changes:
5626
 
5627
Minor changes:
5628
  * label utility
5629
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5630
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5631
 
5632
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5633
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5634
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5635
      --ProgLoader=name
5636
 
5637
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5638
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5639
    Options to do this are:
5640
        --TreeDir=name
5641
        --FilterOut=regexp
5642
        --FilterIn=regexp
5643
        --StripDir
5644
 
5645
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5646
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5647
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5648
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5649
 
5650
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5651
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5652
 
5653
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5654
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5655
 
5656
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5657
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5658
 
5659
 
5660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5661
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5662
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5663
Major changes:
5664
    * Make commands
5665
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5666
 
5667
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5668
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5669
 
5670
    * Label utility
5671
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5672
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5673
 
5674
Minor changes:
5675
    * Toolsets
5676
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5677
      variables and overrides.
5678
 
5679
      The make_init target is always run.
5680
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5681
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5682
 
5683
    * Deployment
5684
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5685
      with deployment operations.
5686
 
5687
    * Release utility
5688
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5689
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5690
      restricted by options within the build.
5691
 
5692
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5693
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5694
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5695
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5696
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5697
 
5698
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5699
      directives.
5700
 
5701
    * MakeProject directive
5702
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5703
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5704
 
5705
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5706
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5707
      is preserved.
5708
 
5709
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5710
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5711
      statements.
5712
 
5713
    * Mugfile generation
5714
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5715
      be placed in the target package.
5716
 
5717
 
5718
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5719
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5720
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5721
Major changes:
5722
    * BuildVersion directive
5723
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5724
      number as well as a patch number.
5725
 
5726
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5727
      number.
5728
 
5729
Minor changes:
5730
    * AddFlags directives
5731
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5732
      duplicate flags being added.
5733
 
5734
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5735
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5736
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5737
 
5738
    * Mug File Generation
5739
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5740
 
5741
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5742
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5743
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5744
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5745
     directory.
5746
 
5747
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5748
     reproducible.
5749
 
5750
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5751
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5752
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5753
Major changes:
5754
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5755
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5756
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5757
      longer a list of directories.
5758
 
5759
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5760
      done within the toolset.
5761
 
5762
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5763
 
5764
    * JATS environment variables
5765
      Redefined variable
5766
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5767
                          Previously was a list that included the
5768
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5769
 
5770
      New variable
5771
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5772
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5773
 
5774
 
5775
Minor changes:
5776
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5777
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5778
      target platforms to be extracted.
5779
 
5780
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5781
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5782
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5783
 
5784
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5785
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5786
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5787
 
5788
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5789
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5790
 
5791
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5792
      Support ANT based XML files
5793
 
5794
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5795
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5796
      structure.
5797
 
5798
    * makefile.pl's
5799
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5800
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5801
 
5802
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5803
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5804
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5805
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5806
 
5807
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5808
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5809
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5810
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5811
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5812
      -- Auto.
5813
 
5814
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5815
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5816
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5817
 
5818
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5819
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5820
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5821
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5822
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5823
 
5824
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5825
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5826
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5827
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5828
      installed on the machine.
5829
 
5830
    * WINCE Targets
5831
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5832
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5833
 
5834
 
5835

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5837
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5838
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5839
Major changes:
5840
    * WIN32 platforms
5841
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5842
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5843
      and installed packages.
5844
 
5845
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5846
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5847
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5848
 
5849
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5850
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5851
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5852
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5853
      searched when looking for libraries.
5854
 
5855
Minor changes:
5856
    * GenerateFiles directive
5857
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5858
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5859
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5860
                          and drive letter
5861
 
5862
    * Src directive
5863
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5864
      directory of a package.
5865
 
5866
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5867
 
5868
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5869
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5870
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5871
 
5872
    * jats_rewrite utility
5873
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5874
 
5875
 
5876
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5877
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5878
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5879
Major changes:
5880
    * SunWorks production builds
5881
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5882
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5883
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5884
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5885
      compiler documentation.
5886
 
5887
    * MOS Toolset
5888
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5889
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5890
 
5891
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5892
 
5893
Minor changes:
5894
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5895
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5896
      This should not affect current users.
5897
 
5898
    * Mugfile generation
5899
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5900
      specified.
5901
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5902
 
5903

5904
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5905
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5906
Major changes:
5907
    MOS Toolset
5908
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5909
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5910
 
5911
Minor changes:
5912
    * Jats wrapper script
5913
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5914
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5915
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5916
 
5917
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5918
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5919
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5920
      may be suspect.
5921
 
5922
    * GenerateFiles directive
5923
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5924
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5925
 
5926
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5927
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5928
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5929
Major changes:
5930
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5931
      build.xml files.
5932
 
5933
Minor changes:
5934
    * WIN32 toolset.
5935
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5936
 
5937
    * MakeAnt
5938
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5939
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5940
 
5941
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5942
 
5943
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5944
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5945
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5946
 
5947
    * MakeAnt directive
5948
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5949
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5950
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5951
 
5952
      Recommended usage:
5953
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5954
 
5955
Internal Changes
5956
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5957

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5961
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5962
Major changes:
5963
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5964
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5965
      files packaged into the release.
5966
 
5967
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
5968

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5971
 
5972
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5973
      The recommended platform is:
5974
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5975
 
5976
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5977
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5978
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5979
      components.
5980
 
5981
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
5982

5985
 
5986
Minor changes:
5987
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5988
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5989
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5990
      by the package to be accessed.
5991
 
5992
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5993
      application or visual studio.
5994
 
5995
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5996
      and the JATS Core path.
5997
 
5998
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5999
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6000
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6001
 
6002
    * MOS Toolset
6003
      Add support for the TPT device
6004
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6005
 
6006
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6007
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6008
 
6009
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6010
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6011
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6012
 
6013
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6014
 
6015
Internal Changes
6016
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6017
      in jats.pl
6018
 
6019
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6020
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6021
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6022
Major changes:
6023
    * JATS wrapper script
6024
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6025
 
6026
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6027
 
6028
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6029
 
6030
Minor changes:
6031
    * Deployment support
6032
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6033
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6034
 
6035
    * 'build'
6036
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6037
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6038
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6039
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6040
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6041
 
6042
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6043
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6044
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6045
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6046
                                      the link phase.
6047
 
6048
    * BuildPkgArchive
6049
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6050
      Previously these were ignored.
6051
      Minor code cleanup
6052
 
6053
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6054
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6055
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6056
 
6057
    * SOLARIS targets
6058
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6059
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6060
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6061
 
6062
    * MugFile generation
6063
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6064
      included in the final package.
6065
 
6066
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6067
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6068
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6069
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6070
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6071
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6072
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6073
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6074
 
6075
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6076
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6077
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6078
            --Option=(some_text)
6079
            --Option=[some_text]
6080
            --Option={some_text}
6081
 
6082
Internal Changes
6083
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6084
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6085
      code.
6086
 
6087
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6088
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6090
Major changes:
6091
    * JATS wrapper script
6092
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6093
 
6094
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6095
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6096
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6097
      other components.
6098
 
6099
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6100
 
6101
    * JATS
6102
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6103
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6104
 
6105
    * Build operations
6106
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6107
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6108
      packages.
6109
 
6110
    * Make operations
6111
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6112
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6113
 
6114
Minor changes:
6115
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6116
      deployment builds.
6117
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6118
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6119
 
6120
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6121
 
6122
    * build.pl
6123
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6124
        processed. Allows
6125
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6126
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6127
        production.
6128
 
6129
    * MOS toolset
6130
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6131
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6132
 
6133
    * create_dpkg utility
6134
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6135
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6136
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6137
      progress of the build.
6138
 
6139
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6140
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6141
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6142
      system.
6143
 
6144

6145
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6146
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6147
Major changes:
6148
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6149
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6150
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6151
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6152
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6153
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6154
 
6155
    * WCEX86A500 target
6156
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6157
 
6158
    * MOS Toolsets
6159
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6160
      the compiler.
6161
 
6162
    * RunTest directive
6163
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6164
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6165
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6166
 
6167
Minor changes:
6168
    * JATS BUILD
6169
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6170
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6171
      highlight bad settings.
6172
 
6173
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6174
      access to extensions.
6175
 
6176
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6177
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6178
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6179
Major changes:
6180
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6181
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6182
 
6183
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6184
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6185
      under unix.
6186
 
6187
Minor changes:
6188
    * label utility
6189
      Added options to:
6190
        o Delete a label
6191
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6192
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6193
 
6194
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6195
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6196
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6197
      Package directives.
6198
 
6199
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6200
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6201
      system.
6202
 
6203
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6204
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6206
Major changes:
6207
    * MOS Toolset
6208
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6209
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6210
 
6211
    * WIN32 Toolset
6212
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6213
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6214
      list.
6215
 
6216
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6217
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6218
 
6219
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6220
 
6221
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6222
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6223
 
6224
 
6225
Minor changes:
6226
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6227
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6228
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6229
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6230
      corrected.
6231
 
6232
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6233
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6234
 
6235
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6236
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6237
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6238
 
6239
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6240
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6241
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6242
Major changes:
6243
    * WIN32 Toolset
6244
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6245
      use with multithreaded modes.
6246
 
6247
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6248
      --OnlyProd.
6249
 
6250
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6251
      within the makefile.pl.
6252
 
6253
Minor changes:
6254
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6255
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6256
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6257
      platforms.
6258
 
6259
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6260
 
6261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6262
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6263
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6264
Major changes:
6265
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6266
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6267
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6268
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6269
 
6270
    * Preliminary Support
6271
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6272
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6273
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6274
 
6275
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6276
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6277
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6278
 
6279
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6280
      building. The default build will build both.
6281
 
6282
Minor changes:
6283
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6284
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6285
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6286
 
6287
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6288
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6289
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6290
 
6291
 
6292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6293
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6295
Major changes:
6296
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6297
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6298
      or all.
6299
 
6300
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6301
      the library or program.
6302
 
6303
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6304
 
6305
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6306
      library or any debug files.
6307
 
6308
    * GenerateFiles
6309
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6310
 
6311
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6312
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6313
 
6314
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6315
              The filename of the prereq file
6316
 
6317
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6318
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6319
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6320
 
6321
 
6322
Minor changes:
6323
    * create_dpkg utility
6324
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6325
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6326
      the package has been altered.
6327
 
6328
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6329
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
6330
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6331
Major changes:
6332
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6333
      This is a WINCE target
6334
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6335
 
6336
    * New toolset
6337
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6338
 
6339
    * Modified toolset
6340
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6341
 
6342
    * Modified toolset
6343
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6344
 
6345
Minor changes:
6346
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6347
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6348
 
6349
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6350
 
6351
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6352
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6353
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6354
 
6355
      The change allows the construct
6356
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6357
      to be replaced by the simpler
6358
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6359
 
6360
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6361
      specified name.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6375
Major changes:
6376
    * Dependancy generator
6377
      Extend the number of header files that can be included

6380
Version: JATS_2.20.0                                Released: 12-Apr-05
6381
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6382
Major changes:
6383
    * The "package.pl" file.
6384
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6385
      package name being taken from the build name
6386
 
6387
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6388
      package Build Name.
6389
 
6390
Minor changes:
6391
    * create_dpkg utility
6392
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
6393
 
6394

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6397
Major changes:
6398
 
6399
Minor changes:
6400
    * Dependancy generator
6401
      Correct two common situations
6402
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6403
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6404
           ansi, but is often done.
6405
 
6406
    * GCC toolset
6407
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6408
      being created in the correct place.
6409
 
6410
    * jats "label"
6411
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6412
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6413
 
6414
 
6415
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6416
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6417
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6418
Major changes:
6419
 
6420
Minor changes:
6421
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6422
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6423
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6424
 
6425
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6426
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6427
 
6428
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6429
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6430
      package was not being transferred.
6431
 
6432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6433
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6434
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6435
Major changes:
6436
    * Support for solaris_i386
6437
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6438
      binaries for this target.
6439
 
6440
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6441
      with the GCC compiler.
6442
 
6443
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6444
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6445
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6446
 
6447
Minor changes:
6448
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6449
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6450
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6451
 
6452
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6453
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6454
 
6455
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6456
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6457
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6458
Major changes:
6459
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6460
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6461
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6462
 
6463
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6464
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6465
 
6466
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6467
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6468
      with either " or ' characters.
6469
 
6470
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6471
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6472
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6473
 
6474
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6475
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6476
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6477
 
6478
    * Jats wrapper
6479
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6480
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6481
      further commands.
6482
 
6483
Minor changes:
6484
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6485
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6486
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6487
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6488
 
6489
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6490
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6491
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6492
Major changes:
6493
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6494
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6495
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6496
 
6497
      These options operation affect all components within the
6498
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6499
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6500
 
6501
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6502
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6503
 
6504
Minor changes:
6505
 
6506
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6507
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6508
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6509
Major changes:
6510
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6511
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6512
 
6513
Minor changes:
6514
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6515
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6516
 
6517
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6518
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6519
 
6520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6521
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6522
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6523
Major changes:
6524
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6525
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6526
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6527
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6528
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6529
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6530
      installed.
6531
 
6532
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6533
      libraries that depend on each other.
6534
 
6535
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6536
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6537
 
6538
Minor changes:
6539
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6540
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6541
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6542
 
6543
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6544
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6545
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6546
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6547
 
6548
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6549
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6550
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6551
Major changes:
6552
 
6553
Minor changes:
6554
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6555
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6556
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6557
      file.
6558
 
6559
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6560
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6561
 
6562
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6563
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6564
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6565
 
6566
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6567
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6568
 
6569
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6570
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6571
 
6572
    * WinCE toolsets
6573
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6574
      compiler specific libraries.
6575
 
6576
    * SOLARIS toolset
6577
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6578
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6579
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6580
 
6581
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6582
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6583
      cleaned up.
6584
 
6585
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6586
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6587
 
6588
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6589
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6590
      with either " or ' characters.
6591
 
6592

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6594
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6595
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6596
Major changes:
6597
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6598
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6599
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6600
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6601
 
6602
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6603
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6604
 
6605
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6606
      user.
6607
 
6608
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6609
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6610
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6611
 
6612
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6613
      for the   -Gf option.
6614
 
6615
Minor changes:
6616
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6617
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6618
 
6619
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6620
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6621
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6622
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6623
 
6624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6625
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6627
Major changes:
6628
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6629
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6630
 
6631
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6632
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6633
      data addresses for the board.
6634
 
6635
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6636
 
6637
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6638
 
6639
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6640
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6641
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6642
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6643
         PackageFile
6644
 
6645
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6646
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6647
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6648
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6649
 
6650
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6651
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6652
      to be installed and packaged.
6653
 
6654
Minor changes:
6655
 
6656
    * cache_dpkg utility
6657
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6658
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6659
 
6660
    * label utility
6661
      New option -auto to create and label
6662
 
6663
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6664
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6665
 
6666
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6667
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6668
      directory. ie:
6669
 
6670
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6671
 
6672
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6673
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6674
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6675
 
6676
 
6677
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6678
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6679
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6680
Major changes:
6681
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6682
 
6683
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6684
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6685
 
6686
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6687
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6688
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6689
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6690
 
6691
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6692
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6693
      compilation.
6694
 
6695
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6696
 
6697
Minor changes:
6698
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6699
      one is being produced.
6700
 
6701
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6702
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6703
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6704
 
6705
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6706
 
6707
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6708
 
6709
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6710
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6711
 
6712
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6713
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6714
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6715
Major changes:
6716
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6717
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6718
 
6719
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6720
 
6721
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6722
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6723
      same directory
6724
 
6725
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6726
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6727
      documenattion.
6728
 
6729
Minor changes:
6730
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6731
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6732
 
6733
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6734
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6735
 
6736
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6737
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6738
 
6739
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6740
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6741
 
6742
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6743
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6744
      be exempt from this test.
6745
 
6746
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6747
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6748
 
6749
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6750
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6751
 
6752
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6753
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6754
      does.
6755
 
6756
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6757
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.

6761
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6762
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6763
Major changes:
6764
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6765
 
6766
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6767
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6768
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6769
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6770
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6771
 
6772
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6773
      operations.
6774
 
6775
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6776
 
6777
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6778
 
6779
Minor changes
6780
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6781
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6782
 
6783
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6784
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6785
      directory is not added to the library path.
6786
 
6787
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6788
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6789
 
6790
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6791
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6792
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6793
 
6794
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6795
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6796
      specific flags.
6797
 
6798
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6799
 
6800
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6801
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6802
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6803
 
6804
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6805
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6806
      JATS.
6807
 
6808
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6809
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6810
 
6811
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6812
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6813
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6814
 
6815
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6816
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6817
 
6818
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6819
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6820
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6821
 
6822
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6823
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6824
 
6825
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6826
 
6827
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6828
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6829
 
6830
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6831
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6832
      objects.
6833
 
6834
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6835
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6836
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6837
      build defendants.
