3
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4
Minor changes:
5
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
6
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
7
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
8
 
9
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
10
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
11
 
12
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
13
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
14
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
15
 
16
    * Jats Internal: Database access
17
      Rebuilt the database access tools using Java 1.4
18
      Java 1.4 is lowest common denominator on all of our machines

303
Minor changes:
304
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
305
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
306
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
307
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
308
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
309
 
310
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
311
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

320
      Added options:
321
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
322
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
323
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
324
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
325
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
326
      Report filter elements that are not used.
327
 
328

      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
330
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
331
 
332
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
333
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
334

Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
337
------------------------------------------------------------------------
338
Major changes:
339
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
340
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
341
      intended to build deployed software.
342
 
343
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
344
      the DEVLINUX alias.
345
 
346
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
347
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
348
 
349
Minor changes:
350
    * Jats wrapper script
351
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
352
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
353
      Subversion instance of the command.
354
 
355
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
356
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
357
 
358
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
359
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.

363
      file under windows.

    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
366
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
367
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
368
 
369
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
370
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
371
 
372

Major changes:
390
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
391
      Support for Intellect PAX.
392
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
393
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
394
 
395
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
396
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

406
Minor changes:
407
    * Utility: jats sandbox
408
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
409
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
410
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
411
      line.
412
 
413
    * Jats Configuration
414
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.

426
Major changes:
427
 
428
Minor changes:
429
    * Jats Core
430
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
431
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
432
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
433
 
434
    * Utility: svnsave_build
435
      Used only by the build daemons.
436
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
437
 
438
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
439
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
440
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

445
Major changes:
446
 
447
Minor changes:
448
    * svnrelease utility
449
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
450
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
451
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
452
 
453
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
454
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
455
      the named tag.
456
 
457
    * svnrelease utility
458
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
459
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
470
        covered by the makefile.
471
 
472
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
473
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
474
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
475
 
476
    * ALL Toolsets
477
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
478
 
479
    * Utility vcsdiff
480
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
481
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
482
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
492
      directory of the tag.
493
 
494
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
495
      repository.
496
 
497
    * Subversion Support
498
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
499
      showing the user what to do.
500
 
501
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
502
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
503
      we have build support for this target.
504
 
505
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
506
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
507
 
508
Internal:
509
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
510
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
511
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
512
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

526
Major changes:
527
 
528
Minor changes:
529
    * Makefile generation
530
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
531
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
532
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
533
      of warnings.
534
 
535
    * Makefile Generation
536
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
537
 
538
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
539
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
545
Major changes:
546
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
547
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
548
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
549
      these operations with a dedicated program.
550
 
551
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
552
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
553
      windows path scheme.
554
 
555
Minor changes:
556
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
557
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
558
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
559
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
560
 
561
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
562
        jats make clobber
563
      This operates as before.
564
 
565
    * Utility: escrow
566
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
567
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
568
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
569
 
570
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
571
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
572
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
573
 
574
    * Utility: svn : url
575
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
576
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
577
 
578
    * Utility: svn : import
579
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
580
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
581
 
582
    * Subversion Support
583
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
584
      showing the user what to do.
585
 
586
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
587
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
588
      repositories.

594
Minor changes:
595
    * Jats build
596
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
597
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
598
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
599
 
600
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 601
      command, with a sandbox.

613
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
614
                 Can also display available branches.

622
 
623
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
624
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
625
      Modified two options:
626
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
627
                        The named branch must not exist
628
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
629
                        The named branch must exist
630
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

Major changes:
666
    * Jats Version Number
667
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
668
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
669
      significantly.

681
Major changes:
682
    * Subversion support
683
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
684
      SubVersion. Changes include:
685
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
686
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
687
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
688
 
689
Minor changes:
690
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
691
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
692
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
693
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
694
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
695
 
696
    * Utility: svnsave_build
697
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
698
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
699
 
700
    * Linux support utilities
701
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
702
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
703
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

Major changes:
709
    * Subversion Repository location
710
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
711
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
712
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
713
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
714
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
715
 
716
Minor changes:
717
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
718
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
719
 
720
    * Utility: svnrelease
721
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
722
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
723
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
724
 
725
    * Utility: svnsave_build
726
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
727
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
728
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
729
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
730
 
731
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
732
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
733
 
734
    * Utility: sandbox
735
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
736
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
737
 
738
      Subcommand: populate
739
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
740
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
741
      sandbox.
742
 
743
    * Subversion Support
744
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
745
      repository is not supported.
746
 
747
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
748
      a progress indication.
749
 
750
    * Jats Online Documentation
751
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
752
      online documentation.
753
 
754
    * Generated makefiles
755
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

803
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 804
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 805
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
806
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
807
 
808

------------------------------------------------------------------------
832
Major changes:
833
 
834
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
835
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
836
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
837
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
838
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
839
 
840
    * C# Toolchain
841
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

851
 
852
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
853
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
854
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
855
 
856
    * Utility ccrelease
857
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
858
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
859
 
860
    * Utility: svn
861
      Improved package import processing.
862
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

889
------------------------------------------------------------------------
890
Major changes:
891
 
892
Minor changes:
893
    * Command: jats clobber
894
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
895
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
896
 
897
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
898
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
899
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
900
 
901
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
902
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
903
 
377 dpurdie 904
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
905
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
906
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 907
 
908
    * jats svnlabel
909
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
910
 
911
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
912
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
913
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
914
 
915
    * Built Daemon support
916
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
917
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
918

373 dpurdie 920
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
921
------------------------------------------------------------------------
922
Major changes:
923
    * GCC Toolset
924
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
925
      New methodology is:
926
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
927
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
928
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
929
        as the main binary.
930
 
931
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
932
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
933
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
934
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
935
      both worlds.
936
 
937
Minor changes:
938
    * HTML Documentation
939
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
940

948
------------------------------------------------------------------------
949
Major changes:
950
    * Jats Sandbox
951
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
952
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
953
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
954
 
955
    * RIORDS Platform
956
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
957
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion
958
 
959
      Package up the 'hex' file created when the .img file is processed.
960

    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
978
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
979
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
980
 
981
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
982
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
983
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
984
      a vob.
985
 
986
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

1063
 
1064
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
1065

1066
 
1067
Minor changes:
1068
    * HTML Help
1069
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1070
 
1071
    * jats build -noforce
1072
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1073
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1074
      be forced.
1075
 
1076
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1077
 
1078
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1079
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1080
 
1081
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1082
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1083
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1084
 
1085
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1086
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1087
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1088
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1089
 
1090
    * Utility: svnrelease
1091
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1092
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1093
 
1094
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1095
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1096
 
1097
    * Utility: svn
1098
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1099
      installed and can be used.
1100
 
1101
    * Toolset: CSharp
1102
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1103
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1104
      character.
1105
 
1106
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1107
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1108
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1109
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1110
      masking an error.
1111
 
1112
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1113
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1114
      enhancement.
1115
 
1116
    * Toolset: dafbr
1117
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
1118
 
1119
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
1120
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1121
        - Return correct path to package
1122
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1123
 
1124
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1125
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1126
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1127
 
1128
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1129
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1130
      packages.
1131
 
1132
    * make command: show
1133
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1134
      'jats make show' command.
1135
 
1136
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1137
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1138
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1139
 
1140
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1141
      executed on Unix machines.

1162
 
1163
    * Jats utility: dstatus
1164

    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
1179
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.

1370
 
1371
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
1372

1501
Minor changes:
1502
    * Jats label command
1503
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1504
      Not recommended for general use.
1505
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1506
      directories within the current view.
1507
 
1508
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1509
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1510
      elsewhere.
1511
 
1512
    * Jats save_build
1513
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1514
      the determination of a branch.
1515
 
1516
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1517
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1518
 
1519
    * Jats build
1520
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1521
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1522
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1523
 
1524
    * Borland6 toolset
1525
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1526
      to match the documented install location of:
1527
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1528
 
1529
    * Jats build
1530
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1531
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1532
      This is a very quick operation.
1533
 
1534
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1535
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1536
 
1537
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1538
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1539
      files are only recreated if need be.
1540
 
1541
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1542
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1543
      make the package.
1544
 
1545
    * Jats sandbox
1546
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1547
 
1548
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1549
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1550
 
1551
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1552
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1553
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1554
      is performed.
1555
 
1556

325 dpurdie 1588
Version:  2.86.0000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-10
1589
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1590
Major changes:
1591
 
1592
Minor changes:
1593
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1594
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1595
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1596
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1597
 
1598
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1599
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1600
 
1601
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1602
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1603
      platform builds.
1604
 
1605
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1606
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1607
      directory tree.
1608
 
1609
    * New command: jats man
1610
      Produces full help on a specified item.
1611
 
1612
Internal changes:
1613
    * jats upddep
1614
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
1615
 
1616
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
1617
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined
1618
      Not yet in use.

323 dpurdie 1621
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
1622
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1623
Major changes:
1624
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1625
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1626
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1627
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1628
 
1629
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1630
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1631
 
1632
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1633
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1634
 
1635
      Examples:
1636
            jats upddep -show
1637
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1638
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1639
 
1640
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1641
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1642
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1643
 
1644
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1645
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1646
 
1647
Minor changes:
1648
 
1649
Internal changes:
1650
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
1651
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 1654
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
1655
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1656
Major changes:
1657
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1658
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1659
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1660
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1661
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1662
      stream.
1663
 
1664
      Example:
1665
 
1666
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1667
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1668
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1669
                     );
1670
Minor changes:
1671
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1672
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1673
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1674
      directive.
1675
 
1676
    * GCC Toolkit
1677
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1678
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1679
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1680
      the point of termination.
1681
 
1682
    * Jats save_build utility
1683
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1684
      under windows.
1685
 
1686
    * Jats sandbox
1687
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1688
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1689
      in different sandboxes.
1690
 
1691
    * Jats release
1692
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1693
 
1694

1696
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1697
Major changes:
1698
 
1699
Minor changes:
1700
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1701
      Added -locatedir=name
1702
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1703
      directory.
1704
 
1705
    * jats label utility
1706
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1707
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1708
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1709
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1710
 
1711
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1712
 
1713

1716
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 1717
 
1718
Minor changes:
1719
    * WinCe Toolsets
1720
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1721
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1722
        noExceptions            - Disable
1723
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1724
      Example:
1725
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1726
 
1727
    * Solaris targets
1728
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1729
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1730
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1731
      machine type.
1732
 
1733
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1734
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1736
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1737
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1738
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1739
      project files.
1740
 
1741
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1742
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1743
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1744
 
1745
Minor changes:
1746
    * Added more internal documentation
1747
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1748
 
1749
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1750
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1751
 
1752
    * Jats save_build utility
1753
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1754
      under windows.
1755
 
1756
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1757
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1758
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1759
      libraries.
1760
 
1761
    * Solaris builds
1762
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1763
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1764
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1765
      of the build failure.
1766
 
1767
 
1768
Internal changes:
1769
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1770
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1771
 
1772
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1773
      PkgArchive topics.
1774

313 dpurdie 1776
Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
1777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1778
Major changes:
1779
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1780
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1781
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1782
      existing 32-bit builds.
1783
 
1784
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1785
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1786
 
1787
Minor changes:
1788
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1789
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1790
 
1791
    * Package searching
1792
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1793
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1794
 
1795
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1796
 
1797
    * jats help
1798
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1799
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1800
 
1801
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1802
      with one of:
1803
        jats -h
1804
        jats help jats
1805
 
1806
Internal:
1807
    * cmdfile utility
1808
      Added macros:
1809
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1810
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1811
 
1812
      Corrected
1813
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1814
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1815
 
1816
      Extended
1817
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1818
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1819
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1820
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Minor changes:
1828
 
1829
Internal changes
1830
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1831
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1832
      Useful side effects include:
1833
 
1834
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1835
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1836
 
1837
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1838
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1839
 
1840
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1841
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1842
        BuildPkgArchive
1843
 
313 dpurdie 1844
    * Perl Modules
1845
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1846
      release. This will:
1847
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1848
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1849
          reported by ERG.
1850
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

1855
Major changes:
1856
 
1857
Minor changes:
1858
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1859
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1860
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1861
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1862
 
1863
    * Jats label utility
1864
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1865
 
1866
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1867
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1868
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1869
 
1870
    * Jats core
1871
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1872
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1873
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 1881
    * CSHARP toolset
1882
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1883
      This is now fixed.
1884
 
309 dpurdie 1885
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1886
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1887
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1888
 
1889
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1890
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
1891

    * Generating makefiles
1899
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1900
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1901
      an error.
1902
 
1903
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1904
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1905
 
1906
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1907
      Highly specialized directive.

Major changes:
1914
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1915
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1916
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1917
 
1918
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1919
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1920
 
1921
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1922
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1923
      Support includes
1924
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1925
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1926
 
1927
Minor changes:
1928
    * Build file processing
1929
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1930
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1931
 
1932
    * MOS builds
1933
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1934
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1935
 
1936
    * MOS builds
1937
      New 'known' product: PICP
1938
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1939
 
1940
    * GenerateFiles directive
1941
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1942
        under windows.
1943
 
1944
        .
1945
 
1946
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1947
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1948
 
1949
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1950
      to the output stream.
1951
 
1952
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1953
 
1954
    * Windows Shell
1955
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1956
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1957
 
1958
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1959
 
1960
    * H8S toolset
1961
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1962
 
1963
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1964
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1965
 
1966
Internal changes
1967
    * WinCe builds
1968
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1969
      content of the file.
1970
 
1971
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1972
 
1973
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1974
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1988
Minor changes:
1989
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1990
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1991
      Changes are transparent to users.
1992
 
1993
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1994
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1995
      this occurs.
1996
 
1997
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1998
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1999
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2000
      automated build framework.
2001
 
2002
    * jats sandbox command
2003
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2004
      'create' command.

2078
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2079
Major changes:
2080
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2081
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2082
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2083
 
2084
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2085
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2086
 
2087
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2088
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2089
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2090
           names cannot be changed.
2091
 
2092
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2093
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2094
 
2095
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2096
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2097
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2098
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2099
 
2100
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2101
      file.
2102
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2103
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2104
      MyPackage.dpk.
2105
 
2106
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2107
      file.
2108
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2109
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2110
      MyDll.dpr.
2111
 
2112
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2113
      file.
2114
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2115
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2116
      MyProg.dpr.
2117
 
2118
Minor changes:
2119
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2120
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2121
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2122
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2123
 
2124
    * BuildVersion directive
2125
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2126
      in a Delphi Unit.
2127
 
2128
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2129
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2130
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2131
      'know' the location of the files.
2132
 
2133
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2134
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2135
 
2136
Internal Changes:
2137
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2138
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2139
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2140
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2141
 
2142
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2143
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2144
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
2145

287 dpurdie 2147
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2148
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2149
Major changes:
2150
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2151
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2152
      information for purely C++ builds.
2153
 
289 dpurdie 2154
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2155
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2156
 
289 dpurdie 2157
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2158
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2159
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2160
 
2161
Minor changes:
2162
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2163
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2164
 
2165
    * updatenodespec utility
2166
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2167
      Manager database.

2180
      Remove warning created during normal operation
2181

      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
2190
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
2191
 
2192
Minor changes:
2193
    * MergeLibrary directive
2194
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
2195
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
2196

2203
Minor changes:
2204
    * New command: jats make show
2205
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2206
      used in the build.
2207
 
2208
    * Escrow command
2209
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2210
 
2211
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2212
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2213
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2214
 
2215
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2216
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2217
 
2218

277 dpurdie 2220
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2221
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2222
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2223
 
279 dpurdie 2224
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2225
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2226
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2227
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2228
 
2229
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2230
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2231
 
2232
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2233
 
2234
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2235
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2236
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2237
 
2238
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2239
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2240
        processed.
2241
 
2242
      Removed the '-delete' option
2243
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2244
 
277 dpurdie 2245
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2246
    * Sandbox command
2247
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2248
 
2249
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2250
      target from consideration in the build set.
2251
 
2252
    * MCR Toolset
2253
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2254
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2255
 
2256
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2257
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2258
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2259
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2260
 
2261
    * Jats run_test command
2262
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2263
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2264
 
2265
    * descpkg file
2266
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2267
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2268
 
2269
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2270
     Now contains build trace information
2271
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2272
 
2273
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2274
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2275
     it contains 'jar' files.
2276
 
2277
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2278
 
2279
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2280
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2281
 
2282
   * BuildVersion directive
2283
     Form:
2284
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2285
     now works as expected.
2286
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2287
 
2288
Internal Changes:
2289
 
2290
    * Error reporting mechanism
2291
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2292
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2293
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
2303
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
2304
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
2305
    then starts.
2306
 
2307
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2308
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2309
 
2310
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2311
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2312
    non-platform option.
2313
 
279 dpurdie 2314
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

2329
 
2330
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
2331
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
2332
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
2333
 
2334

2335
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
2336
 
2337
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars

2341
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
2342
 
2343
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh

      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
2345
      to the invoked application.
2346
 
2347
Internal Changes:

            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2739
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2740
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2741
 
2742
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2743
      through a version selector:
2744
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2745
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2746
 
2747
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2748
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2749
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2750
 
2751
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2752
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2753
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2754
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2755
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2756
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2757
          under VS2005.
2758
 
2759
Minor changes:
2760
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
2761
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
2762
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
2763
 
2764
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2765
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2766
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2767
 
2768
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2769
 
2770
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2771
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2772
 
2773
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2774
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2775
      a minimal value of perl.
2776
 
2777
      Removed excessive require statements.
2778
 
2779
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2780
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2781
      Include JATS specific files for
2782
        1) Windows
2783
        2) Linux
2784
 
2785
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2786
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2787
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2788
      machines.
2789
 
2790
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2791
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2792
 
2793
    * JATS Environment
2794
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2795
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2796
 
2797
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2798
      wrapper scripts.
2799
 
2800
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2801
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2802
      Spell check help and code.

2853
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
2854
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2855
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2856
  * New toolset and platform
2857
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2858
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2859
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2860
    this platform.
2861
 
2862
Minor changes:
2863
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2864
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2865
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2866
    work.
2867
 
2868
  * Jats utility: release
2869
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2870
    published to dpkg_archive.
2871
 
249 dpurdie 2872
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2873
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2874
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2875
    supported for ANT builds.
2876
 
2877
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2878
        releasemanager.releasename
2879
        releasemanager.projectname
2880
 
2881
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2882
    tagged data item of the form
2883
 
2884
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2885
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2886
 
2887
  * Mug File Generation
2888
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2889
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2890
 
2891
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2892
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2893
    required.
2894
 
2895
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2896
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2897
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2898
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2899
    the files in order to use them.
2900
 
2901
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2902
    locate the file.
2903
 
2904
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2905
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2906
 
2907
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2908
        * CSharp
2909
        * Properties
2910
        * WinRC
2911
 
2912
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2913
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2914
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2915
    Value is correctly assigned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2920
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2921
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2922
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2923
 
2924
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2925
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2926
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2927
 
2928
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2929
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2930
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2931
 
2932
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2933
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2934
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2935
 
2936
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2937
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2938
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2939
    correct.
2940
 
2941
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2942
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2943
 
2944
Minor changes:
2945
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2946
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2947
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2948
 
2949
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2950
    This will simplify new user setup.
2951
 
2952
  * All Unix Toolsets
2953
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2954
    on unix systems
2955
 
2956
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2957
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2958
    on some Solaris Machines.
2959
 
2960
  * JATS -version=<version>
2961
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2962
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2963

3010
    mode.
3011
 
3012
  * JATS makefiles
3013
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3014
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3015
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3016
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3017
                            SetList directive.
3018
 
3019

3027
 
3028
  * JATS buildfile processing
3029
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
3030
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
3031
    of JATS.

3147
      <project> field.
3148
 
3149
    * CCdiff utility
3150
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
3151
 
3152

    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3165
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3166
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3167
 
3168
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3169
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3170
 
3171
    * Jats wrapper
3172
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3173
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

3178
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3179
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3180
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3181
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3182
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3183
 
3184
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3185
 
3186
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3187
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3188
 
3189
    * Running Jats
3190
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3191
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3192
      This may affect some windows developers.
3193
 
3194
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3195
      Future versions will generate an error.
3196
 
3197
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3198
 
3199
Minor changes:
3200
    * Perl Version Check
3201
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3202
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3203
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3204
 
3205
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3206
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3207
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3208
      build.
3209
 
3210
    * Jats Internals
3211
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3212
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3213
 
3214
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3215
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3216
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3217
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3218
      process.
3219
 
3220
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3221
      Only works under Windows.
3222
 
3223
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3224
 
3225
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3226
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3227
 
3228
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3229
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3230
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3231
 
3232
    * Jats eprog
3233
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3234
      directory.
3235
 
3236
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3237
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3238
      build metrics.
3239

3243
Major changes:
3244
 
3245
Minor changes:
3246
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3247
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3248
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3249
      automated build system. New options are:
3250
        -pname=Package_Name
3251
        -pversion=Package_Version
3252
 
3253
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3254
      transferring the package. New options are:
3255
        -test
3256
 
3257
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3258
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3259
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3260
 
3261
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3262
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3263
 
3264
    * Solaris Toolset
3265
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3266
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3267
      programs are still supported.

3272
Major changes:
3273
 
3274
Minor changes:
3275
    * WINCE toolsets
3276
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3277
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3278
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3279
      when header files cannot be found.
3280
 
3281
    * GenerateFiles directive
3282
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3283
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3284
      that are difficult to solve.
3285
 
3286
    * MakePerlModule directive
3287
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3288
      to the the module builder.
3289
 
3290
    * Jats Tool: label
3291
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3292
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3293
      -dirs=xxx options.
3294
 
3295
    * Jats Tool: release
3296
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3297
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3298
 
3299
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3300
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3301
 
3302
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3303
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3304
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3305
 
3306
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

3312
Major changes:
3313
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3314
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3315
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3316
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3317
 
3318
Minor changes:
3319
    * label utility
3320
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3321
 
3322
    * make package and install operations
3323
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3324
      transfer.
3325
 
3326
    * make clean up
3327
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3328
 
3329
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3330
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3331
      minor file transformations such as:
3332
        Copy, with optional rename
3333
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3334
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3335
 
3336
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3337
 
3338
    * jats release utility
3339
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3340
      in place.
3341
 
3342
    * escrow utility
3343
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3344
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
3352
    * Makefile generation
3353
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3354
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3355
      generate phase early.

3360
Major changes:
3361
 
3362
Minor changes:
3363
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3364
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3365
 
3366
    * Makefile generation
3367
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3368
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3369
 
3370
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3371
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3372
 
3373
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3374
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3375
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3376
 
3377
    * jats_rewrite utility
3378
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3379
 
3380
    * jats escrow utility
3381
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3382
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3383
 
3384
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3385
      inconsistent packages.
3386
 
3387
    * jats make help
3388
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3389
      available within the current build.
3390
 
3391
    * jats makefiles
3392
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3393
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3394
 
3395
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3396
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3397
 
3398
    * gcc toolset
3399
      SharedLibries.
3400
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3401
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3402
 
3403
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3404
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3405
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3406
 
3407
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3408
        New options:
3409
            --MultiScan
3410
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3411
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3412
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

3418
Major changes:
3419
 
3420
Minor changes:
3421
    PackageLib directive
3422
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3423
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3424
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3425
 
3426
    MakefileGenerate directive
3427
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3428
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3429
 
3430
    Multiple Parent detection
3431
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3432
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3433
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3434
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3435
 
3436
    Solaris Toolset
3437
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3438
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3439
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3440
    link.
3441
 
3442
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3443
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3444
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3445
 
3446
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3447
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3448
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3449
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3454
Major changes:
3455
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3456
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3457
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3458
 
3459
    Summary of changes:
3460
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3461
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3462
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3463
          flexibility.
3464
 
3465
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3466
 
3467
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3468
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3469
          interface directory and associated build information.
3470
 
3471
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3472
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3473
          than one second.
3474
 
3475
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3476
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3477
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3478
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3479
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3480
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3481
 
3482
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3483
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3484
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3485
 
3486
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3487
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3488
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3489
          building them.
3490
 
3491
        - Detection of build file changes
3492
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3493
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3494
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3495
 
3496
        - Quieter make output
3497
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3498
 
3499
 
3500
Minor changes:
3501
    MakeAnt Directive
3502
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3503
 
3504
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3505
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3506
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3507
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3508
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3509
 
3510
    CSHARP toolset
3511
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3512

Minor changes:
3519
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3520
    are generated.
3521
 
3522
    MakeAnt
3523
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3524
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3525
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3526
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3527
 
3528
    MCR platform
3529
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

Minor changes:
3538
    MakeAnt directive extended
3539
    New option: --PackageBase
3540
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3541
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3542
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3543
 
3544
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3545
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3546
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3547
        package image being created.

3567
 
3568
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3569
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3570
 
3571
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3572
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3573
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3574
 
3575
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3576
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3577
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

3605
Minor changes:
3606
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3607
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3608
 
3609
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3610
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3611
      last.
3612
 
3613
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3614
 
3615
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3616
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3617
 
3618
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3619
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3620
 
3621
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3622
 
3623
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3624
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3625
 
3626
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3627
 
3628
 
3629
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3630
           with the --System option
3631
 
3632
    * LMOS target platform

3638
Major changes:
3639
 
3640
Minor changes:
3641
    * Solaris Toolset
3642
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3643
      dependent packages.
3644
 
3645
    * RunTest operation
3646
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3647
 
3648
    * Csharp toolkit
3649
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too

3652
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
3653
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3654
Major changes:
3655
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3656
 
3657
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3658
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3659
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3660
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3661
      path.
3662
 
3663
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3664
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3665
      reproducible.
3666
 
3667
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3668
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3669
 
3670
      There are several aspects to the change
3671
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3672
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3673
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3674
 
3675
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3676
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3677
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3678
          controlled separately.
3679
 
3680
Minor changes:
3681
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3682
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3683
        Remove duplicates
3684
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3685

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3688
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3689
Major changes:
3690
 
3691
Minor changes:
3692
    * Makefile sanity test
3693
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3694
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3695
 
3696
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3697
      x86 machine.
3698
 
3699
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3700
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3701
 
3702
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3703
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3704
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3705
Major changes:
3706
    * RunTest directive
3707
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3708
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3709
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3710
 
3711
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3712
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3713
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3714
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3715
 
3716
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3717
        builder within the current toolset.
3718
 
3719
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3720
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3721
 
3722
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3723
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3724
      containing the RunTest directive.
3725
 
3726
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3727
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3728
 
3729
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3730
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3731
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3732
 
3733
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3734
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3735
                            P or D suffix.
3736
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3737
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3738
 
3739
Minor changes:
3740
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3741
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3742
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3743
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3744
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3745
 
3746
    * Save Build Utility
3747
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3748
      used in a ripple build.
3749
 
3750
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3751
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3752
 
3753
    * Release Utility
3754
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3755
      when an error is encountered.
3756
 
3757
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3758
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3759
 
3760
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3761
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3762
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3763
 
3764
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3765
      before the makefiles are created.
3766
 
3767
    * TestProg directive
3768
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3769
 
3770
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3771
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3772

3776
Major changes:
3777
    * New build target
3778
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3779
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3780
 
3781
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3782
            DEVLINUX
3783
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3784
 
3785
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3786
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3787
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3788
 
3789
Minor changes:
3790
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3791
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3792
 
3793
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3794
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3795
 
3796
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3797
      and .cs files.
3798
 
3799
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3800
      thing.
3801
 
3802
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3803
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3804
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3805
      were it places temp files.
3806
 
3807
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3808
      interaction with other builds.
3809
 
3810
    * Release utility command
3811
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3812
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3813
      component in the clearcase tag name.

3877
  * build.pl
3878
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3879
 
3880
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3881
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3882
 
3883
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3884
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3885

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

4310
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4311
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4312
Major changes:
4313
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4314
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4315
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4316
    the makefile internals. ie:
4317
        --Var(BuildName)
4318
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4319
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4320
 
4321
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4322
 
4323
  * GenerateFiles
4324
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4325
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4326
 
4327
  * BuildPlatforms
4328
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4329
 
4330
Minor changes:
4331
  * GCC Toolset
4332
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4333
 
4334
Internal changes:
4335
  * GenerateFiles
4336
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4337
 
4338
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4339
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4340
 
4341
 
4342
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4343
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4344
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4345
Major changes:
4346
  * Caching JATS
4347
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4348
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4349
 
4350
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4351
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4352
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4353
 
4354
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4355
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4356
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4357
 
4358
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4359
 
4360
Minor changes:
4361
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4362
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4363
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4364
 
4365
  * jats build
4366
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4367
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4368
    processed by the build.
4369
 
4370
  * jats build
4371
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4372
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4373
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4374
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4375
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4376
 
4377
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4378
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4379
    Path is not specified.
4380
 
4381
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4382
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4383
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4384
        --Dir=$Pinc
4385
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4386
 
4387
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4388
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4389
    Windows platform.
4390
 
4391
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4392
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4393
            by 'purecov.
4394
 
4395
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4396
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4397
 
4398
        - OPTIONS=purify
4399
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4400
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4401
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4402

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
4406
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4407
Major changes:
4408
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4409
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4410
    Example:
4411
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4412
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4413
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4414
 
4415
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4416
    been determined.
4417
 
4418
Minor changes:
4419
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4420
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4421
    located at build-time.
4422
 
4423
  * Unix based systems
4424
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4425
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4426
 
4427
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4428
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4429
    driver being built.
4430
 
4431

4444
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4445
 
4446
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4447
    dependancy information within a package.
4448
 
4449
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4450
    messages.

4462
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4463
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4464
                      be run on every invocation.
4465
 
4466
 
4467

  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
4472
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4473
  There are two mechanism:
4474
 
4475
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4476
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4477
 
4478
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4479
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4480
 
4481
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4482
  default.

4490
  * SunWorks Toolset
4491
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4492
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4493
    It is based on machine type.
4494
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4495
 
4496
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4497
 
4498
Minor changes:
4499

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4526
 
4527
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4528
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4529
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4530
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4531
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4532
 
4533
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4534
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4535
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4536
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4537
 
4538
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4539
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

Minor changes:
4554
  * JATS wrapper script
4555
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4556
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4557
    to setup links to system programs.
4558

4598
 
4599
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4600
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4601
    Theses are:
4602
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4603
        SOLARIS_AMD
4604
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4605
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4606
 
4607
Minor changes:
4608

4623
    messages
4624
 
4625
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4626
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4627
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4628
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4629

4635
Minor changes:
4636
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4637
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4638
    library without creating the body of the library:
4639
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4640
 
4641
 
4642
  * MOS toolsets
4643
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4644
    library without creating the body of the library:
4645
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4646
 
4647
  * JATS BIN directories
4648
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4649
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4650
    using autoconf.
4651
 
4652
  * Generate directive
4653
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4654
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4655
 
4656
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.

  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4674
    Initial release.
4675
 
4676
  * Packaging directives
4677
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4678
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4679
 
4680
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4681
        SOLARIS
4682
        WIN32
4683
 
4684
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4685
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4686
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4687
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4688
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4689
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4690
 
4691
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4692
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4693
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4694
 
4695
 
4696
Minor changes:
4697
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4698
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4699
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4700
 
4701
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4702
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4703
    location
4704
 
4705
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4706
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4707
 
4708
  * Utility genrc
4709
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4710
 
4711
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4712
    Added option: -new
4713
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4714
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4715
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4716
 
4717
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4718
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4719
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4720
 
4721
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4722
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4723
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4724
 
4725
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4726
   features - in a uniform manner.
4727
 
4728
 
4729
Internal Changes:
4730
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4731
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4732
 
4733
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4734
        1) Platform information available at build time
4735
        2) Dynamic platform names
4736
 
4737
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4738
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4739
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4740
 
4741
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4742
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4743
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4744
 
4745
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4746
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4747
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4748
    needed.
4749
 
4750
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4751
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4752
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4753
    files from all of these.

4756
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
4757
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4758
Major changes:
4759
 
4760
Minor changes:
4761
  * WinCE toolset
4762
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4763
 
4764
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4765
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4766
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4767
Major changes:
4768
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4769
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4770
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4771
 
4772
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4773
 
4774
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4775
    the operations.
4776
 
4777
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4778
 
4779
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4780
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4781
 
4782
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4783
 
4784
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4785
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4786
 
4787
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4788
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4789
    Extended the built-in help
4790
    Added useful error messages
4791
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4792
 
4793
  * WinCE toolset
4794
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4795
 
4796
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4797
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4798
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4799
 
4800
Minor changes:
4801
  * JATS wrapper script
4802
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4803
    the command line.
4804
 
4805
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4806
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4807
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4808
 
4809
Internal Changes:
4810
  * Common Error Reporting
4811
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4812
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4813
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4814
    level.
4815
 
4816
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4817
    displayed.
4818
 
4819
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4820
 
4821
  * Added JatsSystem module
4822
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4823
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4824
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
4825
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4826
Major changes:
4827
 
4828
Minor changes:
4829
  * BR Compiler toolset
4830
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4831
    .def files to include other files.
4832
 
4833
  * IAR toolset
4834
    Added AT7272 support
4835
 
4836
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4837
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4838
 
4839
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4840
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4841
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4842
Major changes:
4843
 
4844
Minor changes:
4845
  * BR Compiler toolset
4846
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4847
    use.
4848
 
4849
 
4850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4851
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4852
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4853
Major changes:
4854
 
4855
Minor changes:
4856
  * Mictotec toolset
4857
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4858
    builds.
4859
 
4860
  * JATS Core
4861
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4862
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4863
    behaviour.
4864
 
4865
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4866
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4868
Major changes:
4869
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4870
    Deployment package will be affected.
4871
 
4872
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4873
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4874
 
4875
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4876
 
4877
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4878
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4879
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4880
    packages.
4881
 
4882
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4883
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4884
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4885
 
4886
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4887
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4888
 
4889
Minor changes:
4890
  * SubDir directive
4891
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4892
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4893
 
4894
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4895
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4896
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4897
    of the file usage.
4898
 
4899
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4900
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4901
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4902
 
4903
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4904
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4905
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4906
 
4907
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4908
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4909
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4910
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4911
 
4912
 
4913
Internal Changes:
4914
  * Code refactor
4915
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4916
 
4917
  * Deployment utilities
4918
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4919
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4920
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4921
    the module can locate the file.
4922
 
4923
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4924
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4925
 
4926
  * JATS core
4927
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4928
 
4929
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4930
 
4931
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4932
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4933
    through the use of environment variables.
4934
 
4935
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4936
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4937
 
4938
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4939
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4940
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4941
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4942
 
4943
  * Make environment
4944
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4945
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4946
 
4947
 
4948
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4949
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4951
Major changes:
4952
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4953
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4954
 
4955
 
4956
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4957
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4958
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4959
 
4960
Not Released.
4961
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4962
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4963
 
4964
 
4965
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4966
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4967
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4968
Major changes:
4969
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4970
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4971
    radically replaced.
4972
 
4973
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4974
    Usage:
4975
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4976
 
4977
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4978
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4979
    this solution:
4980
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4981
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4982
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4983
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4984
 
4985
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4986
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4987
    order to work.
4988
 
4989
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4990
    reduced functionality.
4991
 
4992
 
4993
Minor changes:
4994
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4995
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4996
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4997
 
4998
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4999
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5000
    within the makefiles.
5001
        Options:
5002
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5003
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5004
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5005
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5006
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5007
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5008
        Useage:
5009
 
5010
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5011
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5012
 
5013
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5014
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5015
    is not in the current directory.
5016
 
5017
  * Jats Command: ant'
5018
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5019
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5020
 
5021
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5022
 
5023
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5024
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5025
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5026
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5027
 
5028
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5029
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5030
    Thus
5031
 
5032
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5033
 
5034
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5035
 
5036
 
5037
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5038
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5040
Major changes:
5041
 
5042
Minor changes:
5043
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5044
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5045
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5046
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5047
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5048
 
5049
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5050
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5051
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5052
 
5053
Internal changes:
5054
  * JATS toolsets
5055
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5056
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5057
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5058
 
5059
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5060
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5061
 
5062
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5063
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5065
Major changes:
5066
  * Jats command: etool
5067
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5068
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5069
 
5070
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5071
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5072
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5073
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5074
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5075
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5076
 
5077
Minor changes:
5078
 
5079
 
5080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5081
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5083
Major changes:
5084
  * JATS environment variables
5085
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5086
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5087
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5088
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5089
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5090
 
5091
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5092
              Remote repository
5093
 
5094
    Added GBE_DPLY
5095
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5096
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5097
 
5098
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5099
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5100
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5101
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5102
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5103
 
5104
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5105
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5106
 
5107
 
5108
Minor changes:
5109
  * JATS utility: build
5110
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5111
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5112
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5113
 
5114
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5115
    Ensure label is not locked
5116
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5117
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5118
 
5119
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5120
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5121
    to a specific type of build.
5122
 
5123
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5124
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5125
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5126
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5127
 
5128
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5129
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5130
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5131
 
5132
  * JATS utility: release
5133
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5134
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5135
 
5136
  * JATS utility: label
5137
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5138
    when it is being created.
5139
 
5140
Internal Changes
5141
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5142
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5143
 
5144
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5145
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5146
 
5147
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5148
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5149
    different results.
5150
 
5151
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5152
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5153
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5154
 
5155
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5156
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5158
Major changes:
5159
 
5160
  * MCR toolset
5161
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5162
 
5163
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5164
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5165
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5166
Major changes:
5167
  * WIN32 utilities
5168
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5169
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5170
 
5171
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5172
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5173
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5174
 
5175
Minor changes:
5176
  * BuildVersion
5177
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5178
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5179
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5180
 
5181
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5182
 
5183
  * Unix Builds
5184
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5185
    library or a shared library.
5186
 
5187
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5188
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5189
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5190
    start with 'lib'.
5191
 
5192
  * BuildPkgArchive
5193
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5194
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5195
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5196
 
5197
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5198
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5199
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5200
Major changes:
5201
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5202
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5203
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5204
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5205
    being manually maintained.
5206
 
5207
 
5208
Minor changes:
5209
  * MakeAnt directive
5210
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5211
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5212
    supports ANT builds.
5213
 
5214
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5215
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5216
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5217
 
5218
  * Label utility
5219
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5220
    files to be labeled.
5221
 
5222
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5223
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5224
    on Solaris.
5225
 
5226
  * Generated makefiles
5227
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5228
    nothing.
5229
 
5230
  * MOS Toolset
5231
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5232
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5233
    modules.
5234
 
5235
  * Utility: gen_cots
5236
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5237
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5238
 
5239
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5240
 
5241
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5242
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5243
 
5244
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5245
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5246
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5247
Major changes:
5248
  None
5249
 
5250
Minor changes:
5251
  * DEVI addressed
5252
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5253
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5254
 
5255
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5256
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5257
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5258
 
5259
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5260
 
5261
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5262
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5263
 
5264
  * RunTest directive
5265
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5266
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5267
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5268
 
5269
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5270
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5271
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5272
    packaged under JATS
5273
 
5274
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5275
          supported within JATS.
5276
 
5277
  * Jats utility wrapper
5278
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5279
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5280
 
5281
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5282
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5283
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5284
 
5285
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5286
    Eg: jats ant
5287
 
5288
  * Jats utility wrapper
5289
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5290
 
5291
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5292
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5293
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5294
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5295
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5296
 
5297
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5298
    expect a build.pl file.
5299
 
5300
  * Jats utility wrapper
5301
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5302
 
5303
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5304
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5305
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5306
 
5307
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5308
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5309
 
5310
  * Build files
5311
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5312
    ERG extensions.
5313
 
5314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5315
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5317
Major changes:
5318
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5319
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5320
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5321
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5322
 
5323
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5324
 
5325
Minor changes:
5326
  * None
5327
 
5328
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5329
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5330
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5331
Major changes:
5332
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5333
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5334
    ie:
5335
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5336
 
5337
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5338
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5339
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5340
    environments are compatible.
5341
 
5342
 
5343
Minor changes:
5344
  * BuildName option
5345
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5346
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5347
 
5348
  * jats.bat
5349
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5350
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5351
 
5352
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5353
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5354
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5355
Major changes:
5356
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5357
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5358
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5359
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5360
 
5361
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5362
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5363
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5364
 
5365
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5366
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5367
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5368
 
5369
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5370
    transferred.
5371
 
5372
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5373
    See notes below.
5374
 
5375
  * WIN32 toolset
5376
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5377
    correctly.
5378
 
5379
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5380
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5381
 
5382
  * BuildVersion
5383
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5384
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5385
    other langauges as needed.
5386
 
5387
 
5388
Minor changes:
5389
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5390
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5391
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5392
    version strings.
5393
 
5394
  * GenerateFiles directive
5395
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5396
    package or an imported package.
5397
 
5398
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5399
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5400
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5401
 
5402
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5403
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5404
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5405
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5406
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5407
 
5408
Internal Changes
5409
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5410
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5411
    of utilities.
5412
 
5413
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5414
    functions.
5415
 
5416
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5417
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5418
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5419
Major changes:
5420
  * Generated makefiles
5421
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5422
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5423
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5424
 
5425
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5426
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5427
    incorrectly processing:
5428
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5429
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5430
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5431
    confused.
5432
 
5433
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5434
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5435
    The construct
5436
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5437
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5438
    then it works.
5439
 
5440
  * MakeAnt directive
5441
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5442
 
5443
    This option has the following effects
5444
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5445
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5446
 
5447
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5448
           early - in the generated files phase.
5449
 
5450
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5451
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5452
 
5453
 
5454
Minor changes:
5455
  * JATS post-installation script
5456
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5457
 
5458
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5459
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5460
    windows.
5461
 
5462
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5463
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5464
 
5465
  * Jats wrapper script
5466
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5467
        1) Contain spaces
5468
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5469
 
5470
  * Toolset
5471
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5472
 
5473
  * JAVA toolset
5474
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5475
    directive:
5476
 
5477
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5478
 
5479
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5480
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5481
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5482
 
5483
  * GCC Toolset
5484
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5485
 
5486
  * Makefile generation
5487
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5488
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5489
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5490
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5491
    package could not be used.
5492
 
5493
  * Unit Tests
5494
    The following environment variables are set:
5495
 
5496
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5497
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5498
 
5499
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5500
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5501
 
5502
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5503
 
5504
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5505
 
5506
 
5507
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5508
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5509
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5510
Major changes:
5511
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5512
 
5513
    Special features of this toolset.
5514
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5515
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5516
       incorporated within the target image.
5517
 
5518
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5519
       --Set=Name=Value
5520
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5521
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5522
 
5523
       --Ref=name
5524
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5525
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5526
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5527
                will be taken from the build version number.
5528
 
5529
Minor changes:
5530
  * MOS Toolset
5531
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5532
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5533
    packaged.
5534
 
5535
  * Src directive
5536
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5537
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5538
    specifier.
5539
 
5540
  * WIN32 runtime support
5541
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5542
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5543
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5544
 
5545
Internal:
5546
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5547
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5548
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5549
 
5550
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5551
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5552
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5553
Major changes:
5554
    * BuildAlias directive
5555
      Added options.
5556
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5557
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5558
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5559
                          targets.
5560
      Eg:
5561
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5562
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5563
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5564
 
5565
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5566
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5567
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5568
 
5569
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5570
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5571
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5572
 
5573
 
5574
Minor changes:
5575
  * Label utility
5576
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5577
    build.pl file
5578
 
5579
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5580
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5581
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5582
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5583
    --FilterIn option.
5584
 
5585
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5586
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5587
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5588
 
5589
  * Location of descpkg file
5590
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5591
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5592
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5593
 
5594
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5595
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5596
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5597
Major changes:
5598
  * RunTest directive
5599
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5600
    Additional options
5601
      --CopyIn=file
5602
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5603
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5604
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5605
        the test area.
5606
 
5607
    Additional operations
5608
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5609
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5610
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5611
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5612
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5613
    Allows flags:
5614
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5615
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5616
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5617
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5618
 
5619
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5620
    existence is tested.
5621
 
5622
  * Packaging Directives
5623
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5624
    such as LMOS.
5625
 
5626
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5627
 
5628
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5629
 
5630
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5631
 
5632
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5633
 
5634
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5635
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5636
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5637
 
5638
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5639
 
5640
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5641
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5642
 
5643
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5644
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5645
 
5646
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5647
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5648
 
5649
Minor changes:
5650
  * Script directive
5651
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5652
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5653
 
5654
  * JATS environment
5655
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5656
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5657
    the JATS wrapper script.
5658
 
5659
  * Label utility
5660
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5661
    There are three modes of operation:
5662
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5663
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5664
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5665
 
5666
 
5667
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5668
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5669
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5670
Major changes:
5671
 
5672
Minor changes:
5673
  * label utility
5674
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5675
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5676
 
5677
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5678
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5679
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5680
      --ProgLoader=name
5681
 
5682
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5683
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5684
    Options to do this are:
5685
        --TreeDir=name
5686
        --FilterOut=regexp
5687
        --FilterIn=regexp
5688
        --StripDir
5689
 
5690
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5691
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5692
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5693
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5694
 
5695
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5696
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5697
 
5698
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5699
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5700
 
5701
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5702
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5703
 
5704
 
5705
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5706
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5707
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5708
Major changes:
5709
    * Make commands
5710
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5711
 
5712
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5713
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5714
 
5715
    * Label utility
5716
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5717
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5718
 
5719
Minor changes:
5720
    * Toolsets
5721
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5722
      variables and overrides.
5723
 
5724
      The make_init target is always run.
5725
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5726
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5727
 
5728
    * Deployment
5729
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5730
      with deployment operations.
5731
 
5732
    * Release utility
5733
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5734
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5735
      restricted by options within the build.
5736
 
5737
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5738
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5739
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5740
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5741
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5742
 
5743
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5744
      directives.
5745
 
5746
    * MakeProject directive
5747
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5748
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5749
 
5750
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5751
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5752
      is preserved.
5753
 
5754
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5755
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5756
      statements.
5757
 
5758
    * Mugfile generation
5759
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5760
      be placed in the target package.
5761
 
5762
 
5763
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5764
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5765
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5766
Major changes:
5767
    * BuildVersion directive
5768
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5769
      number as well as a patch number.
5770
 
5771
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5772
      number.
5773
 
5774
Minor changes:
5775
    * AddFlags directives
5776
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5777
      duplicate flags being added.
5778
 
5779
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5780
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5781
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5782
 
5783
    * Mug File Generation
5784
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5785
 
5786
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5787
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5788
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5789
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5790
     directory.
5791
 
5792
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5793
     reproducible.
5794
 
5795
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5796
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5797
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5798
Major changes:
5799
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5800
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5801
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5802
      longer a list of directories.
5803
 
5804
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5805
      done within the toolset.
5806
 
5807
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5808
 
5809
    * JATS environment variables
5810
      Redefined variable
5811
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5812
                          Previously was a list that included the
5813
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5814
 
5815
      New variable
5816
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5817
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5818
 
5819
 
5820
Minor changes:
5821
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5822
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5823
      target platforms to be extracted.
5824
 
5825
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5826
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5827
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5828
 
5829
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5830
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5831
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5832
 
5833
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5834
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5835
 
5836
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5837
      Support ANT based XML files
5838
 
5839
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5840
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5841
      structure.
5842
 
5843
    * makefile.pl's
5844
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5845
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5846
 
5847
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5848
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5849
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5850
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5851
 
5852
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5853
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5854
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5855
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5856
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5857
      -- Auto.
5858
 
5859
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5860
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5861
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5862
 
5863
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5864
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5865
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5866
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5867
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5868
 
5869
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5870
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5871
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5872
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5873
      installed on the machine.
5874
 
5875
    * WINCE Targets
5876
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5877
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5878
 
5879
 
5880
 
5881
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5882
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5883
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5884
Major changes:
5885
    * WIN32 platforms
5886
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5887
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5888
      and installed packages.
5889
 
5890
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5891
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5892
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5893
 
5894
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5895
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5896
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5897
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5898
      searched when looking for libraries.
5899
 
5900
Minor changes:
5901
    * GenerateFiles directive
5902
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5903
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5904
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5905
                          and drive letter
5906
 
5907
    * Src directive
5908
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5909
      directory of a package.
5910
 
5911
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5912
 
5913
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5914
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5915
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5916
 
5917
    * jats_rewrite utility
5918
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5919
 
5920
 
5921
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5922
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5924
Major changes:
5925
    * SunWorks production builds
5926
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5927
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5928
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5929
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5930
      compiler documentation.
5931
 
5932
    * MOS Toolset
5933
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5934
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5935
 
5936
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5937
 
5938
Minor changes:
5939
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5940
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5941
      This should not affect current users.
5942
 
5943
    * Mugfile generation
5944
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5945
      specified.
5946
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5947

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5951
Major changes:
5952
    MOS Toolset
5953
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5954
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5955
 
5956
Minor changes:
5957
    * Jats wrapper script
5958
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5959
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5960
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5961
 
5962
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5963
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5964
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5965
      may be suspect.
5966
 
5967
    * GenerateFiles directive
5968
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5969
      the pathname to the specified package.

5973
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5974
Major changes:
5975
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5976
      build.xml files.
5977
 
5978
Minor changes:
5979
    * WIN32 toolset.
5980
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5981
 
5982
    * MakeAnt
5983
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5984
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5985
 
5986
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5987
 
5988
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5989
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5990
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5991
 
5992
    * MakeAnt directive
5993
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5994
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5995
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5996
 
5997
      Recommended usage:
5998
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5999
 
6000
Internal Changes
6001
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6007
Major changes:
6008
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6009
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6010
      files packaged into the release.
6011
 
6012
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6016
 
6017
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6018
      The recommended platform is:
6019
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6020
 
6021
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6022
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6023
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6024
      components.

6030
 
6031
Minor changes:
6032
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6033
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6034
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6035
      by the package to be accessed.
6036
 
6037
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6038
      application or visual studio.
6039
 
6040
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6041
      and the JATS Core path.
6042
 
6043
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6044
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6045
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6046
 
6047
    * MOS Toolset
6048
      Add support for the TPT device
6049
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6050
 
6051
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6052
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6053
 
6054
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6055
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6056
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6057
 
6058
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6059
 
6060
Internal Changes
6061
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6062
      in jats.pl
6063
 
6064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6065
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6067
Major changes:
6068
    * JATS wrapper script
6069
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6070
 
6071
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6072
 
6073
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6074
 
6075
Minor changes:
6076
    * Deployment support
6077
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6078
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6079
 
6080
    * 'build'
6081
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6082
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6083
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6084
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6085
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6086
 
6087
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6088
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6089
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6090
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6091
                                      the link phase.
6092
 
6093
    * BuildPkgArchive
6094
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6095
      Previously these were ignored.
6096
      Minor code cleanup
6097
 
6098
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6099
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6100
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6101
 
6102
    * SOLARIS targets
6103
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6104
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6105
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6106
 
6107
    * MugFile generation
6108
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6109
      included in the final package.
6110
 
6111
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6112
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6113
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6114
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6115
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6116
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6117
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6118
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6119
 
6120
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6121
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6122
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6123
            --Option=(some_text)
6124
            --Option=[some_text]
6125
            --Option={some_text}
6126
 
6127
Internal Changes
6128
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6129
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6130
      code.
6131
 
6132

6133
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6135
Major changes:
6136
    * JATS wrapper script
6137
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6138
 
6139
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6140
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6141
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6142
      other components.
6143
 
6144
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6145
 
6146
    * JATS
6147
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6148
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6149
 
6150
    * Build operations
6151
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6152
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6153
      packages.
6154
 
6155
    * Make operations
6156
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6157
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6158
 
6159
Minor changes:
6160
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6161
      deployment builds.
6162
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6163
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6164
 
6165
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6166
 
6167
    * build.pl
6168
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6169
        processed. Allows
6170
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6171
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6172
        production.
6173
 
6174
    * MOS toolset
6175
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6176
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6177
 
6178
    * create_dpkg utility
6179
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6180
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6181
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6182
      progress of the build.
6183
 
6184
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6185
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6186
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6187
      system.
6188

6190
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6191
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6192
Major changes:
6193
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6194
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6195
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6196
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6197
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6198
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6199
 
6200
    * WCEX86A500 target
6201
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6202
 
6203
    * MOS Toolsets
6204
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6205
      the compiler.
6206
 
6207
    * RunTest directive
6208
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6209
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6210
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6211
 
6212
Minor changes:
6213
    * JATS BUILD
6214
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6215
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6216
      highlight bad settings.
6217
 
6218
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6219
      access to extensions.
6220
 
6221
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6222
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6224
Major changes:
6225
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6226
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6227
 
6228
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6229
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6230
      under unix.
6231
 
6232
Minor changes:
6233
    * label utility
6234
      Added options to:
6235
        o Delete a label
6236
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6237
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6238
 
6239
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6240
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6241
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6242
      Package directives.
6243
 
6244
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6245
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6246
      system.
6247
 
6248
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6249
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6251
Major changes:
6252
    * MOS Toolset
6253
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6254
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6255
 
6256
    * WIN32 Toolset
6257
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6258
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6259
      list.
6260
 
6261
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6262
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6263
 
6264
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6265
 
6266
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6267
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6268
 
6269
 
6270
Minor changes:
6271
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6272
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6273
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6274
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6275
      corrected.
6276
 
6277
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6278
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6279
 
6280
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6281
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6282
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6283
 
6284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6285
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6287
Major changes:
6288
    * WIN32 Toolset
6289
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6290
      use with multithreaded modes.
6291
 
6292
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6293
      --OnlyProd.
6294
 
6295
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6296
      within the makefile.pl.
6297
 
6298
Minor changes:
6299
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6300
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6301
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6302
      platforms.
6303
 
6304
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6305
 
6306
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6307
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6308
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6309
Major changes:
6310
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6311
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6312
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6313
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6314
 
6315
    * Preliminary Support
6316
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6317
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6318
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6319
 
6320
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6321
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6322
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6323
 
6324
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6325
      building. The default build will build both.
6326
 
6327
Minor changes:
6328
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6329
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6330
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6331
 
6332
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6333
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6334
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6335
 
6336
 
6337
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6338
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6339
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6340
Major changes:
6341
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6342
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6343
      or all.
6344
 
6345
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6346
      the library or program.
6347
 
6348
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6349
 
6350
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6351
      library or any debug files.
6352
 
6353
    * GenerateFiles
6354
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6355
 
6356
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6357
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6358
 
6359
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6360
              The filename of the prereq file
6361
 
6362
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6363
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6364
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6365
 
6366
 
6367
Minor changes:
6368
    * create_dpkg utility
6369
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6370
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6371
      the package has been altered.

Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
6375
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6376
Major changes:
6377
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6378
      This is a WINCE target
6379
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6380
 
6381
    * New toolset
6382
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6383
 
6384
    * Modified toolset
6385
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6386
 
6387
    * Modified toolset
6388
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6389
 
6390
Minor changes:
6391
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6392
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6393
 
6394
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6395
 
6396
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6397
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6398
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6399
 
6400
      The change allows the construct
6401
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6402
      to be replaced by the simpler
6403
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6404
 
6405
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6406
      specified name.

6426
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6427
Major changes:
6428
    * The "package.pl" file.
6429
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6430
      package name being taken from the build name
6431
 
6432
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6433
      package Build Name.
6434
 
6435
Minor changes:
6436
    * create_dpkg utility
6437
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
6438
 
6439

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

6758
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6759
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6760
Major changes:
6761
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6762
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6763
 
6764
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6765
 
6766
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6767
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6768
      same directory
6769
 
6770
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6771
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6772
      documenattion.
6773
 
6774
Minor changes:
6775
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6776
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6777
 
6778
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6779
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6780
 
6781
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6782
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6783
 
6784
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6785
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6786
 
6787
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6788
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6789
      be exempt from this test.
6790
 
6791
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6792
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6793
 
6794
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6795
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6796
 
6797
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6798
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6799
      does.
6800
 
6801
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6802
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6803
 
6804
 
6805
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6806
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6807
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6808
Major changes:
6809
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6810
 
6811
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6812
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6813
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6814
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6815
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6816
 
6817
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6818
      operations.
6819
 
6820
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6821
 
6822
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6823
 
6824
Minor changes
6825
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6826
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6827
 
6828
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6829
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6830
      directory is not added to the library path.
6831
 
6832
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6833
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6834
 
6835
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6836
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6837
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6838
 
6839
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6840
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6841
      specific flags.
6842
 
6843
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6844
 
6845
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6846
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6847
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6848
 
6849
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6850
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6851
      JATS.
6852
 
6853
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6854
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6855
 
6856
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6857
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6858
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6859
 
6860
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6861
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6862
 
6863
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6864
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6865
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6866
 
6867
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6868
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6869
 
6870
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6871
 
6872
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6873
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6874
 
6875
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6876
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6877
      objects.
6878
 
6879
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6880
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6881
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6882
      build defendants.
