268
Minor changes:
269
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
270
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
271
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
272
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
273
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
274
 
275
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
276
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

285
      Added options:
286
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
287
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
288
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
289
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
290
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
291
      Report filter elements that are not used.
292

Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
303
Major changes:
304
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
305
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
306
      intended to build deployed software.
307
 
308
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
309
      the DEVLINUX alias.
310
 
311
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
312
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
313
 
314
Minor changes:
315
    * Jats wrapper script
316
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
317
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
318
      Subversion instance of the command.
319
 
320
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
321
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
322
 
323
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
324
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.

      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
332
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
333
 
334
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
335
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
336
 
337
    * GCC Toolchain
338
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

Major changes:
355
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
356
      Support for Intellect PAX.
357
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
358
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
359
 
360
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
361
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

374
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
375
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
376
      line.
377
 
378
    * Jats Configuration
379
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.

381
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
382
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
383
      and Linux.
384
 
385
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
386
      correctly rippled.

391
Major changes:
392
 
393
Minor changes:
394
    * Jats Core
395
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
396
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
397
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
398
 
399
    * Utility: svnsave_build
400
      Used only by the build daemons.
401
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
402
 
403
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
404
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
405
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

409
------------------------------------------------------------------------
410
Major changes:
411
 
412
Minor changes:
413
    * svnrelease utility
414
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
415
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
416
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
417
 
418
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
419
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
420
      the named tag.
421
 
422
    * svnrelease utility
423
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
424
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

    * CHSHARP Toolset
433
      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
434
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
435
        covered by the makefile.
436
 
437
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
438
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
439
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
440
 
441
    * ALL Toolsets
442
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
443
 
444
    * Utility vcsdiff
445
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
446
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
447
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
455
    * Subversion Extraction
456
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
457
      directory of the tag.
458
 
459
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
460
      repository.
461
 
462
    * Subversion Support
463
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
464
      showing the user what to do.
465
 
466
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
467
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
468
      we have build support for this target.
469
 
470
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
471
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
472
 
473
Internal:
474
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
475
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
476
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
477
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

491
Major changes:
492
 
493
Minor changes:
494
    * Makefile generation
495
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
496
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
497
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
498
      of warnings.
499
 
500
    * Makefile Generation
501
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
502

------------------------------------------------------------------------
510
Major changes:
511
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
512
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
513
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
514
      these operations with a dedicated program.
515
 
516
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
517
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
518
      windows path scheme.
519
 
520
Minor changes:
521
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
522
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
523
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
524
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
525
 
526
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
527
        jats make clobber
528
      This operates as before.
529
 
530
    * Utility: escrow
531
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
532
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
533
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
534
 
535
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
536
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
537
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
538
 
539
    * Utility: svn : url
540
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
541
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
542
 
543
    * Utility: svn : import
544
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
545
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
546
 
547
    * Subversion Support
548
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
549
      showing the user what to do.
550
 
551
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
552
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
553
      repositories.

558
 
559
Minor changes:
560
    * Jats build
561
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
562
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
563
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
564
 
565
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 566
      command, with a sandbox.

577
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
578
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
579
                 Can also display available branches.

587
 
588
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
589
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
590
      Modified two options:
591
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
592
                        The named branch must not exist
593
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
594
                        The named branch must exist
595
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

Major changes:
631
    * Jats Version Number
632
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
633
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
634
      significantly.
635
 
636
Minor changes:

646
Major changes:
647
    * Subversion support
648
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
649
      SubVersion. Changes include:
650
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
651
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
652
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
653
 
654
Minor changes:
655
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
656
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
657
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
658
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
659
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
660
 
661
    * Utility: svnsave_build
662
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
663
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
664
 
665
    * Linux support utilities
666
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
667
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.

676
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
677
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
678
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
679
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
680
 
681
Minor changes:
682
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
683
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
684
 
685
    * Utility: svnrelease
686
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
687
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
688
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
689
 
690
    * Utility: svnsave_build
691
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
692
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
693
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
694
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
695
 
696
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
697
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
698
 
699

700
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
701
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
702
 
703
      Subcommand: populate
704
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
705
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
706
      sandbox.
707
 
708
    * Subversion Support
709
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
710
      repository is not supported.
711
 
712
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
713
      a progress indication.
714
 
715
    * Jats Online Documentation
716
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
717
      online documentation.
718
 
719
    * Generated makefiles
720
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

797
Major changes:
798
 
799
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
800
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
801
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
802
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
803
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
804

    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
818
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
819
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
820
 
821
    * Utility ccrelease
822
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
823
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
824
 
825
    * Utility: svn
826
      Improved package import processing.
827
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
855
Major changes:
856
 
857
Minor changes:
858
    * Command: jats clobber
859
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
860
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
861
 
862
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
863
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
864
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
865
 
866
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
867
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
868
 
377 dpurdie 869
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
870
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
871
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 872
 
873
    * jats svnlabel
874
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
875
 
876
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
877
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
878
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
879
 
880
    * Built Daemon support
881
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
882
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
883

886
------------------------------------------------------------------------
887
Major changes:
888
    * GCC Toolset
889
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
890
      New methodology is:
891
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
892
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
893
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
894
        as the main binary.
895
 
896
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
897
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
898
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
899
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
900
      both worlds.
901
 
902
Minor changes:
903
    * HTML Documentation
904
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.

914
Major changes:
915
    * Jats Sandbox
916
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
917
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
918
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
919
 
920
    * RIORDS Platform
921
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
922
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion

944
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
945
 
946
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
947
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
948
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
949

1028
 
1029
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100

1031
 
1032
Minor changes:
1033
    * HTML Help
1034
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1035
 
1036
    * jats build -noforce
1037
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1038
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1039
      be forced.
1040
 
1041
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1042
 
1043
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1044
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1045
 
1046
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1047
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1048
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1049
 
1050
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1051
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1052
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1053
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1054
 
1055
    * Utility: svnrelease
1056
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1057
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1058
 
1059
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1060
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1061
 
1062
    * Utility: svn
1063
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1064
      installed and can be used.
1065
 
1066
    * Toolset: CSharp
1067
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1068
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1069
      character.
1070
 
1071
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1072
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1073
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1074
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1075
      masking an error.
1076
 
1077
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1078
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1079
      enhancement.
1080
 
1081
    * Toolset: dafbr
1082
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing

1085
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1086
        - Return correct path to package
1087
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1088
 
1089
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1090
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1091
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1092
 
1093
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1094
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1095
      packages.
1096
 
1097
    * make command: show
1098
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1099
      'jats make show' command.
1100
 
1101
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1102
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1103
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1104
 
1105
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1106
      executed on Unix machines.

1326
 
1327
    * BuildPlatform
1328
      New option: --NoToolSet
1329
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
1330
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
1331
 
1332
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
1333
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
1334
      need toolset specific information.
1335
 
1336
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
1337
 
1338
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
1339
 
1340
Internal:

1343
      processing into jats.pl
1344
 
1345
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
1346
      a ClearCase site.

1465
 
1466
Minor changes:
1467
    * Jats label command
1468
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1469
      Not recommended for general use.
1470
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1471
      directories within the current view.
1472
 
1473
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1474
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1475
      elsewhere.
1476
 
1477
    * Jats save_build
1478
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1479
      the determination of a branch.
1480
 
1481
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1482
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1483
 
1484
    * Jats build
1485
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1486
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1487
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1488
 
1489
    * Borland6 toolset
1490
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1491
      to match the documented install location of:
1492
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1493
 
1494
    * Jats build
1495
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1496
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1497
      This is a very quick operation.
1498
 
1499
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1500
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1501
 
1502
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1503
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1504
      files are only recreated if need be.
1505
 
1506
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1507
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1508
      make the package.
1509
 
1510
    * Jats sandbox
1511
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1512
 
1513
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1514
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1515
 
1516
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1517
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1518
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1519
      is performed.
1520
 
1521
Internal:
1522

      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1560
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1561
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1562
 
1563
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1564
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly

Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
1587
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1588
Major changes:
1589
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1590
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1591
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1592
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1593
 
1594
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1595
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1596
 
1597
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1598
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1599
 
1600
      Examples:
1601
            jats upddep -show
1602
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1603
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1604
 
1605
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1606
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1607
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1608
 
1609
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1610
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1611
 
1612
Minor changes:
1613
 
1614
Internal changes:
1615
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
1616
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 1619
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
1620
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1621
Major changes:
1622
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1623
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1624
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1625
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1626
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1627
      stream.
1628
 
1629
      Example:
1630
 
1631
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1632
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1633
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1634
                     );
1635
Minor changes:
1636
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1637
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1638
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1639
      directive.
1640
 
1641
    * GCC Toolkit
1642
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1643
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1644
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1645
      the point of termination.
1646
 
1647
    * Jats save_build utility
1648
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1649
      under windows.
1650
 
1651
    * Jats sandbox
1652
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1653
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1654
      in different sandboxes.
1655
 
1656
    * Jats release
1657
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1658

Version:  2.83.1000.cr                               Released: 04-Feb-10
1661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1662
Major changes:
1663
 
1664
Minor changes:
1665
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1666
      Added -locatedir=name
1667
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1668
      directory.
1669
 
1670
    * jats label utility
1671
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1672
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1673
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1674
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1675
 
1676
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1677
 
1678

1681
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 1682
 
1683
Minor changes:
1684
    * WinCe Toolsets
1685
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1686
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1687
        noExceptions            - Disable
1688
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1689
      Example:
1690
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1691
 
1692
    * Solaris targets
1693
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1694
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1695
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1696
      machine type.
1697
 
1698
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1699
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1700
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1701
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1702
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1703
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1704
      project files.
1705
 
1706
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1707
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1708
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1709
 
1710
Minor changes:
1711
    * Added more internal documentation
1712
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1713
 
1714
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1715
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1716
 
1717
    * Jats save_build utility
1718
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1719
      under windows.
1720
 
1721
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1722
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1723
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1724
      libraries.
1725
 
1726
    * Solaris builds
1727
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1728
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1729
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1730
      of the build failure.
1731
 
1732
 
1733
Internal changes:
1734
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1735
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1736
 
1737
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1738
      PkgArchive topics.

313 dpurdie 1741
Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
1742
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1743
Major changes:
1744
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1745
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1746
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1747
      existing 32-bit builds.
1748
 
1749
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1750
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1751
 
1752
Minor changes:
1753
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1754
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1755
 
1756
    * Package searching
1757
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1758
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1759
 
1760
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1761
 
1762
    * jats help
1763
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1764
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1765
 
1766
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1767
      with one of:
1768
        jats -h
1769
        jats help jats
1770
 
1771
Internal:
1772
    * cmdfile utility
1773
      Added macros:
1774
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1775
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1776
 
1777
      Corrected
1778
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1779
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1780
 
1781
      Extended
1782
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1783
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1784
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1785
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1790
Major changes:
1791
 
1792
Minor changes:
1793
 
1794
Internal changes
1795
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1796
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1797
      Useful side effects include:
1798
 
1799
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1800
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1801
 
1802
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1803
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1804
 
1805
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1806
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1807
        BuildPkgArchive
1808
 
313 dpurdie 1809
    * Perl Modules
1810
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1811
      release. This will:
1812
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1813
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1814
          reported by ERG.
1815
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1820
Major changes:
1821
 
1822
Minor changes:
1823
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1824
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1825
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1826
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1827
 
1828
    * Jats label utility
1829
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1830
 
1831
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1832
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1833
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1834
 
1835
    * Jats core
1836
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1837
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1838
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 1846
    * CSHARP toolset
1847
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1848
      This is now fixed.
1849
 
309 dpurdie 1850
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1851
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1852
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1853
 
1854
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1855
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
1856

1862
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1863
    * Generating makefiles
1864
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1865
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1866
      an error.
1867
 
1868
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1869
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1870
 
1871
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1872
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 1873
      Refer the JATS Manual.

    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1880
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1881
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1882
 
1883
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1884
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1885
 
1886
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1887
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1888
      Support includes
1889
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1890
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1891
 
1892
Minor changes:
1893
    * Build file processing
1894
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1895
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1896
 
1897
    * MOS builds
1898
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1899
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1900
 
1901
    * MOS builds
1902
      New 'known' product: PICP
1903
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1904
 
1905
    * GenerateFiles directive
1906
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1907
        under windows.
1908
 
1909
        .
1910
 
1911
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1912
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1913
 
1914
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1915
      to the output stream.
1916
 
1917
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1918
 
1919
    * Windows Shell
1920
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1921
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1922
 
1923
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1924
 
1925
    * H8S toolset
1926
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1927
 
1928
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1929
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1930
 
1931
Internal changes
1932
    * WinCe builds
1933
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1934
      content of the file.
1935
 
1936
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1937
 
1938
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1939
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1955
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1956
      Changes are transparent to users.
1957
 
1958
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1959
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1960
      this occurs.
1961
 
1962
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1963
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1964
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1965
      automated build framework.
1966
 
1967
    * jats sandbox command
1968
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1969
      'create' command.
1970
 
1971
    * jats command aliases. Added
1972
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1973
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

2043
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2044
Major changes:
2045
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2046
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2047
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2048
 
2049
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2050
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2051
 
2052
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2053
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2054
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2055
           names cannot be changed.
2056
 
2057
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2058
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2059
 
2060
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2061
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2062
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2063
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2064
 
2065
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2066
      file.
2067
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2068
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2069
      MyPackage.dpk.
2070
 
2071
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2072
      file.
2073
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2074
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2075
      MyDll.dpr.
2076
 
2077
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2078
      file.
2079
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2080
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2081
      MyProg.dpr.
2082
 
2083
Minor changes:
2084
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2085
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2086
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2087
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2088
 
2089
    * BuildVersion directive
2090
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2091
      in a Delphi Unit.
2092
 
2093
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2094
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2095
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2096
      'know' the location of the files.
2097
 
2098
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2099
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2100
 
2101
Internal Changes:
2102
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2103
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2104
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2105
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2106
 
2107
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2108
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2109
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2113
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2114
Major changes:
2115
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2116
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2117
      information for purely C++ builds.
2118
 
289 dpurdie 2119
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2120
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2121
 
289 dpurdie 2122
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2123
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2124
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2125
 
2126
Minor changes:
2127
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2128
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2129
 
2130
    * updatenodespec utility
2131
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2132

2156
 
2157
Minor changes:
2158
    * MergeLibrary directive
2159
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
2160
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
2161

Minor changes:
2169
    * New command: jats make show
2170
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2171
      used in the build.
2172
 
2173
    * Escrow command
2174
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2175
 
2176
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2177
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2178
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2179
 
2180
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2181
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2182
 
2183

277 dpurdie 2185
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2186
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2187
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2188
 
279 dpurdie 2189
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2190
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2191
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2192
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2193
 
2194
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2195
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2196
 
2197
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2198
 
2199
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2200
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2201
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2202
 
2203
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2204
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2205
        processed.
2206
 
2207
      Removed the '-delete' option
2208
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2209
 
277 dpurdie 2210
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2211
    * Sandbox command
2212
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2213
 
2214
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2215
      target from consideration in the build set.
2216
 
2217
    * MCR Toolset
2218
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2219
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2220
 
2221
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2222
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2223
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2224
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2225
 
2226
    * Jats run_test command
2227
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2228
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2229
 
2230
    * descpkg file
2231
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2232
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2233
 
2234
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2235
     Now contains build trace information
2236
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2237
 
2238
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2239
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2240
     it contains 'jar' files.
2241
 
2242
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2243
 
2244
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2245
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2246
 
2247
   * BuildVersion directive
2248
     Form:
2249
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2250
     now works as expected.
2251
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2252
 
2253
Internal Changes:
2254
 
2255
    * Error reporting mechanism
2256
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2257
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2258
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
2268
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
2269
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
2270
    then starts.
2271
 
2272
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2273
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2274
 
2275
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2276
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2277
    non-platform option.
2278
 
279 dpurdie 2279
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

2292
    * Jats Utility: dstatus
2293
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
2294
 
2295
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
2296
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
2297
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
2298
 
2299
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
2300
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
2301
 
2302
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
2303
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
2304
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
2305
        GBE_MAKE_CMD                - Current make target
2306
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
2307
 
2308
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
2309
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
2310
      to the invoked application.
2311
 
2312
Internal Changes:
2313
    * JatsCopy Package

2319
      build target.
2320
 
2321
    * Jmake - Jats Makefile Supervisor
2322

    * Jats command: sandbox
2333
      Support subcommands "clean" and "clobber"

2344
        Wildcard correctly supports the [0-9] construct
2345
 
2346
Internal Changes:
2347
    * Environment
2348
      Export EnvVar GBE_HOSTMACH
2349
      This is the same as GBE_MACHTYPE, but it is not modified by legacy

2418
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2419
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
2420

2443
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2444
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2445
 
2446
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

2539
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
2540
      programs.
2541
 
2542
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
2543

2593
      time.
2594
 
2595
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
2596
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

2612
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2613
      Previously was being done at two places
2614
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2615
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
2616
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
2617
 
2618
    * JATS make: Command line
2619
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2620

2677
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2678
 
2679
Minor changes:
2680
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2681
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

2692
 
2693
      New platforms:
2694
        CSHARP2005
2695
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2696
         Support extends to allow:
2697
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2698
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2699
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2700
 
2701
        VS2005
2702
         Support extends to allow:
2703
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2704
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2705
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2706
 
2707
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2708
      through a version selector:
2709
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2710
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2711
 
2712
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2713
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2714
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2715
 
2716
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2717
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2718
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2719
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2720
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2721
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2722
          under VS2005.
2723
 
2724
Minor changes:
2725
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
2730
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2731
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2732
 
2733
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2734
 
2735
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2736
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2737
 
2738
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2739
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2740
      a minimal value of perl.
2741
 
2742
      Removed excessive require statements.
2743
 
2744
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2745
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2746
      Include JATS specific files for
2747
        1) Windows
2748
        2) Linux
2749
 
2750
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2751
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2752
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2753
      machines.
2754
 
2755
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2756
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC

2758
    * JATS Environment
2759
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2760
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2761
 
2762
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2763
      wrapper scripts.
2764
 
2765
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2766
      Correct problem with location of build files.

Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
2819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2820
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2821
  * New toolset and platform
2822
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2823
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2824
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2825
    this platform.
2826
 
2827
Minor changes:
2828
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2829
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2830
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2831
    work.
2832
 
2833
  * Jats utility: release
2834
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2835
    published to dpkg_archive.
2836
 
249 dpurdie 2837
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2838
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2839
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2840
    supported for ANT builds.
2841
 
2842
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2843
        releasemanager.releasename
2844
        releasemanager.projectname
2845
 
2846
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2847
    tagged data item of the form
2848
 
2849
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2850
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2851
 
2852
  * Mug File Generation
2853
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2854
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2855
 
2856
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2857
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2858
    required.
2859
 
2860
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2861
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2862
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2863
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2864
    the files in order to use them.
2865
 
2866
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2867
    locate the file.
2868
 
2869
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2870
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2871
 
2872
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2873
        * CSharp
2874
        * Properties
2875
        * WinRC
2876
 
2877
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2878
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2879
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2880
    Value is correctly assigned.
2881

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2885
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2886
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2887
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2888
 
2889
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2890
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2891
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2892
 
2893
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2894
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2895
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2896
 
2897
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2898
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2899
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2900
 
2901
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2902
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2903
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2904
    correct.
2905
 
2906
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2907
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2908
 
2909
Minor changes:
2910
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2911
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2912
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2913
 
2914
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2915
    This will simplify new user setup.
2916
 
2917
  * All Unix Toolsets
2918
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2919
    on unix systems
2920
 
2921
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2922
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2923
    on some Solaris Machines.
2924
 
2925
  * JATS -version=<version>
2926
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2927
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2928

    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2980
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2981
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or

      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3138
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

    * Jats Release Mechanism
3145
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3146
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3147
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3148
 
3149
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3150
 
3151
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3152
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3153
 
3154
    * Running Jats
3155
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3156
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3157
      This may affect some windows developers.
3158
 
3159
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3160
      Future versions will generate an error.
3161
 
3162
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3163
 
3164
Minor changes:
3165
    * Perl Version Check
3166
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3167
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3168
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3169
 
3170
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3171
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3172
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3173
      build.
3174
 
3175
    * Jats Internals
3176
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3177
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3178
 
3179
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3180
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3181
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3182
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3183
      process.
3184
 
3185
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3186
      Only works under Windows.
3187
 
3188
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3189
 
3190
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3191
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3192
 
3193
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3194
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3195
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3196
 
3197
    * Jats eprog
3198
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3199
      directory.
3200
 
3201
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3202
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3203
      build metrics.
3204

3208
Major changes:
3209
 
3210
Minor changes:
3211
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3212
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3213
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3214
      automated build system. New options are:
3215
        -pname=Package_Name
3216
        -pversion=Package_Version
3217
 
3218
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3219
      transferring the package. New options are:
3220
        -test
3221
 
3222
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3223
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3224
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3225
 
3226
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3227
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3228
 
3229
    * Solaris Toolset
3230
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3231
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3232
      programs are still supported.

3237
Major changes:
3238
 
3239
Minor changes:
3240
    * WINCE toolsets
3241
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3242
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3243
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3244
      when header files cannot be found.
3245
 
3246
    * GenerateFiles directive
3247
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3248
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3249
      that are difficult to solve.
3250
 
3251
    * MakePerlModule directive
3252
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3253
      to the the module builder.
3254
 
3255
    * Jats Tool: label
3256
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3257
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3258
      -dirs=xxx options.
3259
 
3260
    * Jats Tool: release
3261
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3262
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3263
 
3264
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3265
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3266
 
3267
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3268
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3269
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3270
 
3271
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

3277
Major changes:
3278
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3279
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3280
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3281
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3282
 
3283
Minor changes:
3284
    * label utility
3285
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3286
 
3287
    * make package and install operations
3288
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3289
      transfer.
3290
 
3291
    * make clean up
3292
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3293
 
3294
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3295
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3296
      minor file transformations such as:
3297
        Copy, with optional rename
3298
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3299
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3300
 
3301
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3302
 
3303
    * jats release utility
3304
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3305
      in place.
3306
 
3307
    * escrow utility
3308
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3309
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
3317
    * Makefile generation
3318
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3319
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3320
      generate phase early.

3325
Major changes:
3326
 
3327
Minor changes:
3328
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3329
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3330
 
3331
    * Makefile generation
3332
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3333
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3334
 
3335
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3336
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3337
 
3338
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3339
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3340
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3341
 
3342
    * jats_rewrite utility
3343
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3344
 
3345
    * jats escrow utility
3346
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3347
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3348
 
3349
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3350
      inconsistent packages.
3351
 
3352
    * jats make help
3353
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3354
      available within the current build.
3355
 
3356
    * jats makefiles
3357
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3358
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3359
 
3360
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3361
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3362
 
3363
    * gcc toolset
3364
      SharedLibries.
3365
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3366
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3367
 
3368
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3369
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3370
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3371
 
3372
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3373
        New options:
3374
            --MultiScan
3375
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3376
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3377
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

3383
Major changes:
3384
 
3385
Minor changes:
3386
    PackageLib directive
3387
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3388
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3389
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3390
 
3391
    MakefileGenerate directive
3392
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3393
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3394
 
3395
    Multiple Parent detection
3396
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3397
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3398
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3399
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3400
 
3401
    Solaris Toolset
3402
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3403
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3404
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3405
    link.
3406
 
3407
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3408
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3409
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3410
 
3411
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3412
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3413
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3414
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3419
Major changes:
3420
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3421
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3422
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3423
 
3424
    Summary of changes:
3425
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3426
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3427
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3428
          flexibility.
3429
 
3430
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3431
 
3432
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3433
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3434
          interface directory and associated build information.
3435
 
3436
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3437
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3438
          than one second.
3439
 
3440
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3441
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3442
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3443
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3444
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3445
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3446
 
3447
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3448
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3449
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3450
 
3451
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3452
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3453
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3454
          building them.
3455
 
3456
        - Detection of build file changes
3457
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3458
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3459
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3460
 
3461
        - Quieter make output
3462
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3463
 
3464
 
3465
Minor changes:
3466
    MakeAnt Directive
3467
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3468
 
3469
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3470
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3471
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3472
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3473
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3474
 
3475
    CSHARP toolset
3476
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3477

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3485
    are generated.
3486
 
3487
    MakeAnt
3488
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3489
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3490
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3491
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3492
 
3493
    MCR platform

Minor changes:
3503
    MakeAnt directive extended
3504
    New option: --PackageBase
3505
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3506
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3507
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3508
 
3509
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3510
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3511
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3512
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
3532
 
3533
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3534
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3535
 
3536
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3537
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3538
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3539
 
3540
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3541
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3542
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3543
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command
3544
         tar -xjf /net/auperaunx26/export/devl/dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots/

Minor changes:
3571
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3572
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3573
 
3574
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3575
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3576
      last.
3577
 
3578
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3579
 
3580
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3581
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3582
 
3583
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3584
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3585
 
3586
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3587
 
3588
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3589
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3590
 
3591
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3592
 
3593
 
3594
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3595
           with the --System option
3596
 
3597
    * LMOS target platform
3598
      Includes LINUX_ETX

3603
Major changes:
3604
 
3605
Minor changes:
3606
    * Solaris Toolset
3607
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3608
      dependent packages.
3609
 
3610
    * RunTest operation
3611
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3612
 
3613
    * Csharp toolkit
3614
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
3615

3618
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3619
Major changes:
3620
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3621
 
3622
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3623
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3624
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3625
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3626
      path.
3627
 
3628
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3629
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3630
      reproducible.
3631
 
3632
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3633
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3634
 
3635
      There are several aspects to the change
3636
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3637
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3638
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3639
 
3640
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3641
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3642
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3643
          controlled separately.
3644
 
3645
Minor changes:
3646
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3647
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3648
        Remove duplicates
3649
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3650

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3653
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3654
Major changes:
3655
 
3656
Minor changes:
3657
    * Makefile sanity test
3658
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3659
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3660
 
3661
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3662
      x86 machine.
3663
 
3664
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3665
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3666
 
3667
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3668
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3669
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3670
Major changes:
3671
    * RunTest directive
3672
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3673
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3674
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3675
 
3676
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3677
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3678
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3679
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3680
 
3681
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3682
        builder within the current toolset.
3683
 
3684
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3685
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3686
 
3687
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3688
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3689
      containing the RunTest directive.
3690
 
3691
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3692
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3693
 
3694
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3695
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3696
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3697
 
3698
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3699
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3700
                            P or D suffix.
3701
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3702
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3703
 
3704
Minor changes:
3705
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3706
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3707
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3708
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3709
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3710
 
3711
    * Save Build Utility
3712
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3713
      used in a ripple build.
3714
 
3715
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3716
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3717
 
3718
    * Release Utility
3719
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3720
      when an error is encountered.
3721
 
3722
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3723
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3724
 
3725
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3726
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3727
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3728
 
3729
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3730
      before the makefiles are created.
3731
 
3732
    * TestProg directive
3733
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3734
 
3735
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3736
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3737

3740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3741
Major changes:
3742
    * New build target
3743
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3744
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3745
 
3746
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3747
            DEVLINUX
3748
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3749
 
3750
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3751
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3752
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3753
 
3754
Minor changes:
3755
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3756
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3757
 
3758
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3759
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3760
 
3761
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3762
      and .cs files.
3763
 
3764
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3765
      thing.
3766
 
3767
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3768
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3769
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3770
      were it places temp files.
3771
 
3772
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3773
      interaction with other builds.
3774
 
3775
    * Release utility command
3776
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3777
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3778
      component in the clearcase tag name.

3795
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3796
 
3797
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

3839
  * Deployment
3840
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3841
 
3842
  * build.pl
3843
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3844
 
3845
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3846
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3847
 
3848
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3849
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3850
    build.
3851
 
3852
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3853
 
3854
  * Tool: escrow
3855
     New features
3856
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3857
     are not in the SBOM.
3858
 
3859
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3860

Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3866
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3867
Major changes:
3868
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3869
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3870
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3871
 
3872
  * GenerateFiles
3873
    Added the options:
3874
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3875
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3876
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3877
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3878
 
3879
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3880
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3881
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3882
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3883
                                  required.
3884
 
3885
 
3886
Minor changes:
3887
  * GenerateFile directive
3888
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3889
 
3890
  * GCC Toolset
3891
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3892
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3893
    be rebuilt.
3894
 
3895
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3896
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3897
 
3898
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3899
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3901
Major changes:
3902
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3903
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3904
    environment variables.
3905
 
3906
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3907
            moved.
3908
 
3909
    This will affect users that:
3910
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3911
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3912
 
3913
        2) Use the ABT system
3914
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3915
           the required configuration
3916
 
3917
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3918
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3919
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3920
    Windows
3921
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3922
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3923
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3924
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3925
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3926
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3927
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3928
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3929
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4275
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4276
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4277
Major changes:
4278
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4279
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4280
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4281
    the makefile internals. ie:
4282
        --Var(BuildName)
4283
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4284
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4285
 
4286
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4287
 
4288
  * GenerateFiles
4289
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4290
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4291
 
4292
  * BuildPlatforms
4293
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4294
 
4295
Minor changes:
4296
  * GCC Toolset
4297
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4298
 
4299
Internal changes:
4300
  * GenerateFiles
4301
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4302
 
4303
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4304
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4305

Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4309
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4310
Major changes:
4311
  * Caching JATS
4312
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4313
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4314
 
4315
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4316
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4317
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4318
 
4319
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4320
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4321
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4322
 
4323
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4324
 
4325
Minor changes:
4326
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4327
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4328
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4329
 
4330
  * jats build
4331
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4332
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4333
    processed by the build.
4334
 
4335
  * jats build
4336
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4337
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4338
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4339
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4340
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4341
 
4342
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4343
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4344
    Path is not specified.
4345
 
4346
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4347
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4348
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4349
        --Dir=$Pinc
4350
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4351
 
4352
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4353
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4354
    Windows platform.
4355
 
4356
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4357
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4358
            by 'purecov.
4359
 
4360
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4361
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4362
 
4363
        - OPTIONS=purify
4364
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4365
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4366
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4367

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
4371
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4372
Major changes:
4373
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4374
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4375
    Example:
4376
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4377
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4378
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4379
 
4380
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4381
    been determined.
4382
 
4383
Minor changes:
4384
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4385
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4386
    located at build-time.
4387
 
4388
  * Unix based systems
4389
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4390
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4391
 
4392
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4393
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4394
    driver being built.
4395
 
4396

4408
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
4409
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4410
 
4411
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4412
    dependancy information within a package.
4413
 
4414
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4415
    messages.

4423
 
4424
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4425
 
4426
    GenerateFiles.
4427
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4428
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4429
                      be run on every invocation.
4430
 
4431
 
4432
Minor changes:

4435
 
4436
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
4437
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4438
  There are two mechanism:
4439
 
4440
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4441
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4442
 
4443
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4444
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4445
 
4446
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4447
  default.
4448
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
4449
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

4456
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4457
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4458
    It is based on machine type.
4459
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4460
 
4461
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4462
 
4463
Minor changes:
4464

4475
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
4476
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset

4478
 
4479
  * Added platforms
4480
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )

    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4482
    TP5600_EMU
4483
 
4484
Minor changes:
4485

4486
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
4487
    field separator.
4488
 
4489
  * JATS eprog command
4490
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4491
 
4492
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4493
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4494
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4495
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4496
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4497
 
4498
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4499
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4500
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4501
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4502
 
4503
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4504
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

4514
 
4515
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
4516
 
4517
 
4518
Minor changes:
4519
  * JATS wrapper script
4520
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4521
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4522
    to setup links to system programs.
4523

    Added CompileOptions
4545
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4546
        no_misalign         - Default
4547
 
4548
        multithread         - Default
4549
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
4550
 
4551
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4552
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
4553

        debug_debuginfo
4563
 
4564
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4565
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4566
    Theses are:
4567
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4568
        SOLARIS_AMD
4569
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4570
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4571
 
4572
Minor changes:
4573
  * AT3232 toolset
4574
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
4575
 
4576
  * Jats build

4583
Major changes:
4584
 
4585
Minor changes:
4586
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4587
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4588
    messages
4589
 
4590
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4591
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4592
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4593
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4594

Major changes:
4599
 
4600
Minor changes:
4601
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4602
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4603
    library without creating the body of the library:
4604
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4605
 
4606
 
4607
  * MOS toolsets
4608
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4609
    library without creating the body of the library:
4610
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4611
 
4612
  * JATS BIN directories
4613
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4614
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4615
    using autoconf.
4616
 
4617
  * Generate directive
4618
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4619
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4620
 
4621
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4622

4627
Major changes:
4628
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4629

4636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4637
Major changes:
4638
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4639
    Initial release.
4640
 
4641
  * Packaging directives
4642
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4643
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4644
 
4645
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4646
        SOLARIS
4647
        WIN32
4648
 
4649
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4650
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4651
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4652
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4653
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4654
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4655
 
4656
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4657
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4658
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4659
 
4660
 
4661
Minor changes:
4662
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4663
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4664
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4665
 
4666
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4667
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4668
    location
4669
 
4670
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4671
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4672
 
4673
  * Utility genrc
4674
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4675
 
4676
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4677
    Added option: -new
4678
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4679
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4680
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4681
 
4682
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4683
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4684
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4685
 
4686
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4687
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4688
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4689
 
4690
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4691
   features - in a uniform manner.
4692
 
4693
 
4694
Internal Changes:
4695
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4696
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4697
 
4698
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4699
        1) Platform information available at build time
4700
        2) Dynamic platform names
4701
 
4702
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4703
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4704
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4705
 
4706
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4707
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4708
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4709
 
4710
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4711
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4712
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4713
    needed.
4714
 
4715
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4716
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4717
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4718
    files from all of these.
4719

4724
 
4725
Minor changes:
4726
  * WinCE toolset
4727
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4728
 
4729
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4730
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4731
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4732
Major changes:
4733
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4734
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4735
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4736
 
4737
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4738
 
4739
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4740
    the operations.
4741
 
4742
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4743
 
4744
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4745
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4746
 
4747
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4748
 
4749
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4750
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4751
 
4752
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4753
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4754
    Extended the built-in help
4755
    Added useful error messages
4756
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4757
 
4758
  * WinCE toolset
4759
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4760
 
4761
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4762
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4763
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4764
 
4765
Minor changes:
4766
  * JATS wrapper script
4767
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4768
    the command line.
4769
 
4770
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4771
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4772
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4773
 
4774
Internal Changes:
4775
  * Common Error Reporting
4776
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4777
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4778
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4779
    level.
4780
 
4781
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4782
    displayed.
4783
 
4784
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4785
 
4786
  * Added JatsSystem module
4787
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4788
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4789
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

4791
Major changes:
4792
 
4793
Minor changes:
4794
  * BR Compiler toolset
4795
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4796
    .def files to include other files.
4797
 
4798
  * IAR toolset
4799
    Added AT7272 support
4800
 
4801
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4802
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4803
 
4804
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4805
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4807
Major changes:
4808
 
4809
Minor changes:
4810
  * BR Compiler toolset
4811
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4812
    use.
4813
 
4814
 
4815
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4816
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4817
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4818
Major changes:
4819
 
4820
Minor changes:
4821
  * Mictotec toolset
4822
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4823
    builds.
4824
 
4825
  * JATS Core
4826
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4827
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4828
    behaviour.
4829
 
4830
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4831
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4832
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4833
Major changes:
4834
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4835
    Deployment package will be affected.
4836
 
4837
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4838
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4839
 
4840
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4841
 
4842
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4843
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4844
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4845
    packages.
4846
 
4847
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4848
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4849
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4850
 
4851
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4852
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4853
 
4854
Minor changes:
4855
  * SubDir directive
4856
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4857
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4858
 
4859
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4860
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4861
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4862
    of the file usage.
4863
 
4864
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4865
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4866
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4867
 
4868
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4869
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4870
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4871
 
4872
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4873
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4874
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4875
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4876
 
4877
 
4878
Internal Changes:
4879
  * Code refactor
4880
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4881
 
4882
  * Deployment utilities
4883
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4884
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4885
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4886
    the module can locate the file.
4887
 
4888
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4889
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4890
 
4891
  * JATS core
4892
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4893
 
4894
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4895
 
4896
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4897
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4898
    through the use of environment variables.
4899
 
4900
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4901
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4902
 
4903
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4904
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4905
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4906
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4907
 
4908
  * Make environment
4909
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4910
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4911
 
4912
 
4913
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4914
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4915
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4916
Major changes:
4917
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4918
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4919
 
4920
 
4921
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4922
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4924
 
4925
Not Released.
4926
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4927
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4928
 
4929
 
4930
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4931
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4933
Major changes:
4934
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4935
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4936
    radically replaced.
4937
 
4938
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4939
    Usage:
4940
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4941
 
4942
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4943
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4944
    this solution:
4945
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4946
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4947
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4948
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4949
 
4950
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4951
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4952
    order to work.
4953
 
4954
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4955
    reduced functionality.
4956
 
4957
 
4958
Minor changes:
4959
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4960
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4961
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4962
 
4963
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4964
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4965
    within the makefiles.
4966
        Options:
4967
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4968
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4969
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4970
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4971
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4972
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4973
        Useage:
4974
 
4975
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4976
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4977
 
4978
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4979
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4980
    is not in the current directory.
4981
 
4982
  * Jats Command: ant'
4983
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4984
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4985
 
4986
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4987
 
4988
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4989
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4990
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4991
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4992
 
4993
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4994
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4995
    Thus
4996
 
4997
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4998
 
4999
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog

Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5004
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5005
Major changes:
5006
 
5007
Minor changes:
5008
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5009
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5010
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5011
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5012
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5013
 
5014
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5015
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5016
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5017
 
5018
Internal changes:
5019
  * JATS toolsets
5020
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5021
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5022
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5023
 
5024
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5025
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5026
 
5027
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5028
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5029
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5030
Major changes:
5031
  * Jats command: etool
5032
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5033
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5034
 
5035
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5036
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5037
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5038
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5039
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5040
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5041
 
5042
Minor changes:
5043
 
5044
 
5045
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5046
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5047
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5048
Major changes:
5049
  * JATS environment variables
5050
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5051
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5052
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5053
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5054
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5055
 
5056
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5057
              Remote repository
5058
 
5059
    Added GBE_DPLY
5060
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5061
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5062
 
5063
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5064
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5065
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5066
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5067
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5068
 
5069
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5070
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5071
 
5072
 
5073
Minor changes:
5074
  * JATS utility: build
5075
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5076
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5077
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5078
 
5079
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5080
    Ensure label is not locked
5081
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5082
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5083
 
5084
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5085
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5086
    to a specific type of build.
5087
 
5088
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5089
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5090
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5091
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5092
 
5093
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5094
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5095
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5096
 
5097
  * JATS utility: release
5098
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5099
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5100
 
5101
  * JATS utility: label
5102
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5103
    when it is being created.
5104
 
5105
Internal Changes
5106
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5107
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5108
 
5109
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5110
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5111
 
5112
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5113
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5114
    different results.
5115
 
5116
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5117
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5118
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5119
 
5120
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5121
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06

5125
  * MCR toolset
5126
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5127
 
5128

5130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5131
Major changes:
5132
  * WIN32 utilities
5133
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5134
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5135
 
5136
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5137
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5138
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5139
 
5140
Minor changes:
5141
  * BuildVersion
5142
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5143
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5144
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5145
 
5146
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5147
 
5148
  * Unix Builds
5149
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5150
    library or a shared library.
5151
 
5152
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5153
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5154
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5155
    start with 'lib'.
5156
 
5157
  * BuildPkgArchive
5158
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5159
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5160
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5161

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

5560
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5561
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5562
Major changes:
5563
  * RunTest directive
5564
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5565
    Additional options
5566
      --CopyIn=file
5567
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5568
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5569
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5570
        the test area.
5571
 
5572
    Additional operations
5573
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5574
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5575
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5576
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5577
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5578
    Allows flags:
5579
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5580
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5581
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5582
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5583
 
5584
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5585
    existence is tested.
5586
 
5587
  * Packaging Directives
5588
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5589
    such as LMOS.
5590
 
5591
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5592
 
5593
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5594
 
5595
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5596
 
5597
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5598
 
5599
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5600
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5601
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5602
 
5603
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5604
 
5605
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5606
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5607
 
5608
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5609
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5610
 
5611
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5612
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5613
 
5614
Minor changes:
5615
  * Script directive
5616
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5617
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5618
 
5619
  * JATS environment
5620
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5621
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5622
    the JATS wrapper script.
5623
 
5624
  * Label utility
5625
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5626
    There are three modes of operation:
5627
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5628
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5629
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5630
 
5631
 
5632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5633
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5635
Major changes:
5636
 
5637
Minor changes:
5638
  * label utility
5639
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5640
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5641
 
5642
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5643
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5644
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5645
      --ProgLoader=name
5646
 
5647
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5648
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5649
    Options to do this are:
5650
        --TreeDir=name
5651
        --FilterOut=regexp
5652
        --FilterIn=regexp
5653
        --StripDir
5654
 
5655
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5656
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5657
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5658
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5659
 
5660
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5661
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5662
 
5663
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5664
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5665
 
5666
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5667
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5668
 
5669
 
5670
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5671
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5672
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5673
Major changes:
5674
    * Make commands
5675
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5676
 
5677
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5678
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5679
 
5680
    * Label utility
5681
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5682
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5683
 
5684
Minor changes:
5685
    * Toolsets
5686
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5687
      variables and overrides.
5688
 
5689
      The make_init target is always run.
5690
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5691
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5692
 
5693
    * Deployment
5694
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5695
      with deployment operations.
5696
 
5697
    * Release utility
5698
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5699
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5700
      restricted by options within the build.
5701
 
5702
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5703
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5704
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5705
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5706
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5707
 
5708
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5709
      directives.
5710
 
5711
    * MakeProject directive
5712
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5713
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5714
 
5715
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5716
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5717
      is preserved.
5718
 
5719
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5720
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5721
      statements.
5722
 
5723
    * Mugfile generation
5724
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5725
      be placed in the target package.
5726
 
5727
 
5728
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5729
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5731
Major changes:
5732
    * BuildVersion directive
5733
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5734
      number as well as a patch number.
5735
 
5736
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5737
      number.
5738
 
5739
Minor changes:
5740
    * AddFlags directives
5741
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5742
      duplicate flags being added.
5743
 
5744
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5745
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5746
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5747
 
5748
    * Mug File Generation
5749
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5750
 
5751
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5752
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5753
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5754
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5755
     directory.
5756
 
5757
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5758
     reproducible.
5759
 
5760
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5761
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5762
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5763
Major changes:
5764
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5765
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5766
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5767
      longer a list of directories.
5768
 
5769
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5770
      done within the toolset.
5771
 
5772
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5773
 
5774
    * JATS environment variables
5775
      Redefined variable
5776
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5777
                          Previously was a list that included the
5778
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5779
 
5780
      New variable
5781
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5782
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5783
 
5784
 
5785
Minor changes:
5786
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5787
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5788
      target platforms to be extracted.
5789
 
5790
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5791
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5792
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5793
 
5794
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5795
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5796
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5797
 
5798
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5799
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5800
 
5801
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5802
      Support ANT based XML files
5803
 
5804
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5805
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5806
      structure.
5807
 
5808
    * makefile.pl's
5809
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5810
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5811
 
5812
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5813
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5814
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5815
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5816
 
5817
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5818
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5819
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5820
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5821
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5822
      -- Auto.
5823
 
5824
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5825
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5826
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5827
 
5828
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5829
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5830
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5831
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5832
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5833
 
5834
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5835
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5836
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5837
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5838
      installed on the machine.
5839
 
5840
    * WINCE Targets
5841
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5842
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5843
 
5844
 
5845

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5847
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5848
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5849
Major changes:
5850
    * WIN32 platforms
5851
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5852
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5853
      and installed packages.
5854
 
5855
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5856
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5857
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5858
 
5859
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5860
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5861
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5862
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5863
      searched when looking for libraries.
5864
 
5865
Minor changes:
5866
    * GenerateFiles directive
5867
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5868
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5869
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5870
                          and drive letter
5871
 
5872
    * Src directive
5873
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5874
      directory of a package.
5875
 
5876
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5877
 
5878
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5879
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5880
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5881
 
5882
    * jats_rewrite utility
5883
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5884
 
5885
 
5886
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5887
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5888
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5889
Major changes:
5890
    * SunWorks production builds
5891
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5892
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5893
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5894
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5895
      compiler documentation.
5896
 
5897
    * MOS Toolset
5898
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5899
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5900
 
5901
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5902
 
5903
Minor changes:
5904
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5905
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5906
      This should not affect current users.
5907
 
5908
    * Mugfile generation
5909
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5910
      specified.
5911
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5912

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5916
Major changes:
5917
    MOS Toolset
5918
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5919
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5920
 
5921
Minor changes:
5922
    * Jats wrapper script
5923
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5924
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5925
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5926
 
5927
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5928
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5929
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5930
      may be suspect.
5931
 
5932
    * GenerateFiles directive
5933
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5934
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5935
 
5936
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5937
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5938
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5939
Major changes:
5940
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5941
      build.xml files.
5942
 
5943
Minor changes:
5944
    * WIN32 toolset.
5945
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5946
 
5947
    * MakeAnt
5948
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5949
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5950
 
5951
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5952
 
5953
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5954
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only

5957
    * MakeAnt directive
5958
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5959
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5960
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5961
 
5962
      Recommended usage:
5963
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5964
 
5965
Internal Changes
5966
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5971
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5972
Major changes:
5973
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5974
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5975
      files packaged into the release.

5981
 
5982
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5983
      The recommended platform is:
5984
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5985
 
5986
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5987
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5988
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5989
      components.

5995
 
5996
Minor changes:
5997
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5998
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5999
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6000
      by the package to be accessed.
6001
 
6002
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6003
      application or visual studio.
6004
 
6005
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6006
      and the JATS Core path.
6007
 
6008
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6009
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6010
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6011
 
6012
    * MOS Toolset
6013
      Add support for the TPT device
6014
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6015
 
6016
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6017
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6018
 
6019
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6020
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6021
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6022
 
6023
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6024
 
6025
Internal Changes
6026
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6027
      in jats.pl
6028
 
6029
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6030
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6031
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6032
Major changes:
6033
    * JATS wrapper script
6034
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6035
 
6036
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6037
 
6038
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6039
 
6040
Minor changes:
6041
    * Deployment support
6042
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6043
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6044
 
6045
    * 'build'
6046
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6047
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6048
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6049
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6050
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6051
 
6052
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6053
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6054
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6055
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6056
                                      the link phase.
6057
 
6058
    * BuildPkgArchive
6059
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6060
      Previously these were ignored.
6061
      Minor code cleanup
6062
 
6063
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6064
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6065
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6066
 
6067
    * SOLARIS targets
6068
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6069
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6070
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6071
 
6072
    * MugFile generation
6073
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6074
      included in the final package.
6075
 
6076
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6077
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6078
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6079
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6080
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6081
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6082
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6083
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6084
 
6085
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6086
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6087
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6088
            --Option=(some_text)
6089
            --Option=[some_text]
6090
            --Option={some_text}
6091
 
6092
Internal Changes
6093
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6094
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6095
      code.
6096
 
6097

6098
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6099
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6100
Major changes:
6101
    * JATS wrapper script
6102
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6103
 
6104
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6105
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6106
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6107
      other components.
6108
 
6109
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6110
 
6111
    * JATS
6112
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6113
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6114
 
6115
    * Build operations
6116
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6117
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6118
      packages.
6119
 
6120
    * Make operations
6121
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6122
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6123
 
6124
Minor changes:
6125
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6126
      deployment builds.
6127
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6128
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6129
 
6130
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6131
 
6132
    * build.pl
6133
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6134
        processed. Allows
6135
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6136
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6137
        production.
6138
 
6139
    * MOS toolset
6140
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6141
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6142
 
6143
    * create_dpkg utility
6144
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6145
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6146
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6147
      progress of the build.
6148
 
6149
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6150
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6151
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6152
      system.
6153
 
6154

6155
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6156
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6157
Major changes:
6158
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6159
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6160
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6161
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6162
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6163
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6164
 
6165
    * WCEX86A500 target
6166
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6167
 
6168
    * MOS Toolsets
6169
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6170
      the compiler.
6171
 
6172
    * RunTest directive
6173
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6174
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6175
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6176
 
6177
Minor changes:
6178
    * JATS BUILD
6179
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6180
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6181
      highlight bad settings.
6182
 
6183
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6184
      access to extensions.
6185
 
6186
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6187
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6189
Major changes:
6190
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6191
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6192
 
6193
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6194
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6195
      under unix.
6196
 
6197
Minor changes:
6198
    * label utility
6199
      Added options to:
6200
        o Delete a label
6201
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6202
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6203
 
6204
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6205
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6206
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6207
      Package directives.
6208
 
6209
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6210
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6211
      system.
6212
 
6213
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6214
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6215
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6216
Major changes:
6217
    * MOS Toolset
6218
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6219
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6220
 
6221
    * WIN32 Toolset
6222
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6223
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6224
      list.
6225
 
6226
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6227
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6228
 
6229
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6230
 
6231
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6232
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6233
 
6234
 
6235
Minor changes:
6236
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6237
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6238
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6239
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6240
      corrected.
6241
 
6242
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6243
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6244
 
6245
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6246
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6247
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6248

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6250
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6251
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6252
Major changes:
6253
    * WIN32 Toolset
6254
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6255
      use with multithreaded modes.
6256
 
6257
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6258
      --OnlyProd.
6259
 
6260
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6261
      within the makefile.pl.
6262
 
6263
Minor changes:
6264
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6265
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6266
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6267
      platforms.
6268
 
6269
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6270
 
6271
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6272
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6273
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6274
Major changes:
6275
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6276
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6277
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6278
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6279
 
6280
    * Preliminary Support
6281
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6282
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6283
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6284
 
6285
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6286
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6287
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6288
 
6289
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6290
      building. The default build will build both.
6291
 
6292
Minor changes:
6293
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6294
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6295
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6296
 
6297
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6298
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6299
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6300

6303
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6305
Major changes:
6306
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6307
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6308
      or all.
6309
 
6310
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6311
      the library or program.
6312
 
6313
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6314
 
6315
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6316
      library or any debug files.
6317
 
6318
    * GenerateFiles
6319
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6320
 
6321
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6322
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6323
 
6324
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6325
              The filename of the prereq file
6326
 
6327
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6328
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6329
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6330
 
6331
 
6332
Minor changes:
6333
    * create_dpkg utility
6334
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6335
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6336
      the package has been altered.

6351
 
6352
    * Modified toolset
6353
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6354
 
6355
Minor changes:
6356
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6357
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6358
 
6359
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6360
 
6361
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6362
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6363
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6364
 
6365
      The change allows the construct
6366
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6367
      to be replaced by the simpler
6368
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6369
 
6370
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6371
      specified name.

Version: JATS_2.20.0                                Released: 12-Apr-05
6391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6392
Major changes:
6393
    * The "package.pl" file.
6394
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6395
      package name being taken from the build name
6396
 
6397
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6398
      package Build Name.
6399
 
6400
Minor changes:
6401
    * create_dpkg utility
6402
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
6403
 
6404

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6771
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6772
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6773
Major changes:
6774
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6775
 
6776
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6777
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6778
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6779
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6780
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6781
 
6782
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6783
      operations.
6784
 
6785
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6786
 
6787
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6788
 
6789
Minor changes
6790
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6791
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6792
 
6793
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6794
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6795
      directory is not added to the library path.
6796
 
6797
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6798
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6799
 
6800
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6801
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6802
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6803
 
6804
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6805
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6806
      specific flags.
6807
 
6808
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6809
 
6810
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6811
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6812
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6813
 
6814
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6815
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6816
      JATS.
6817
 
6818
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6819
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6820
 
6821
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6822
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6823
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6824
 
6825
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6826
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6827
 
6828
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6829
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6830
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6831
 
6832
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6833
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6834
 
6835
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6836
 
6837
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6838
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6839
 
6840
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6841
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6842
      objects.
6843
 
6844
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6845
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6846
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6847
      build defendants.
