15
Minor changes:
16
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
17
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
18
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
19
 
20
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
21
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
22
 
23
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
24
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
25
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
26
 
27
    * Jats Internal: Database access

Minor changes:
315
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
316
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
317
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands

319
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
320
 
321
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
322

348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
349
Major changes:
350
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
351
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
352
      intended to build deployed software.
353
 
354
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
355
      the DEVLINUX alias.
356
 
357
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
358
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
359
 
360
Minor changes:
361
    * Jats wrapper script
362
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
363
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
364
      Subversion instance of the command.
365
 
366
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
367
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
368

373
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
374
      file under windows.
375
 
376
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
377
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
378
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
379
 
380
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
381
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
382
 
383
    * GCC Toolchain
384
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

Major changes:
401
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
402
      Support for Intellect PAX.
403
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
404
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
405
 
406
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
407
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

417
Minor changes:
418
    * Utility: jats sandbox
419
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
420
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
421
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
422
      line.
423
 
424
    * Jats Configuration
425
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
426
 
427
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
428
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
429
      and Linux.

437
Major changes:
438
 
439
Minor changes:
440
    * Jats Core
441
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
442
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
443
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
444
 
445
    * Utility: svnsave_build
446
      Used only by the build daemons.
447
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
448
 
449
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
450
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
451
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

456
Major changes:
457
 
458
Minor changes:
459
    * svnrelease utility
460
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
461
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
462
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
463
 
464
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
465
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
466
      the named tag.
467
 
468
    * svnrelease utility
469
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
470
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
481
        covered by the makefile.
482
 
483
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
484
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
485
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
486
 
487
    * ALL Toolsets
488
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
489
 
490
    * Utility vcsdiff
491
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
492
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
493
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
503
      directory of the tag.
504
 
505
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
506
      repository.
507
 
508
    * Subversion Support
509
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
510
      showing the user what to do.
511
 
512
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
513
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
514
      we have build support for this target.
515
 
516
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
517
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
518
 
519
Internal:
520
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
521
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
522
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
523
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

537
Major changes:
538
 
539
Minor changes:
540
    * Makefile generation
541
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
542
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
543
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
544
      of warnings.
545
 
546
    * Makefile Generation
547
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
548
 
549
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
550
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
556
Major changes:
557
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
558
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
559
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
560
      these operations with a dedicated program.
561
 
562
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
563
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
564
      windows path scheme.
565
 
566
Minor changes:
567
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
568
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
569
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
570
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
571
 
572
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
573
        jats make clobber
574
      This operates as before.
575
 
576
    * Utility: escrow
577
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
578
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
579
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
580
 
581
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
582
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
583
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
584
 
585
    * Utility: svn : url
586
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
587
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
588
 
589
    * Utility: svn : import
590
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
591
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
592
 
593
    * Subversion Support
594
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
595
      showing the user what to do.
596
 
597
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
598
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
599
      repositories.

604
 
605
Minor changes:
606
    * Jats build
607
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
608
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
609
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
610
 
611
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 612
      command, with a sandbox.

624
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
625
                 Can also display available branches.

633
 
634
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
635
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
636
      Modified two options:
637
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
638
                        The named branch must not exist
639
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
640
                        The named branch must exist
641
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
650
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
651
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
652
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

Major changes:
677
    * Jats Version Number
678
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
679
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
680
      significantly.

692
Major changes:
693
    * Subversion support
694
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
695
      SubVersion. Changes include:
696
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
697
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
698
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
699
 
700
Minor changes:
701
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
702
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
703
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
704
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
705
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
706
 
707
    * Utility: svnsave_build
708
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
709
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
710
 
711
    * Linux support utilities
712
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
713
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
714
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

719
Major changes:
720
    * Subversion Repository location
721
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
722
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
723
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
724
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
725
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
726
 
727
Minor changes:
728
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
729
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
730
 
731
    * Utility: svnrelease
732
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
733
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
734
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
735
 
736
    * Utility: svnsave_build
737
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
738
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
739
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
740
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
741
 
742
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
743
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
744
 
745
    * Utility: sandbox
746
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
747
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
748
 
749
      Subcommand: populate
750
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
751
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
752
      sandbox.
753
 
754
    * Subversion Support
755
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
756
      repository is not supported.
757
 
758
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
759
      a progress indication.
760
 
761
    * Jats Online Documentation
762
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
763
      online documentation.
764
 
765
    * Generated makefiles
766
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 815
    * GCC Toolmaking

843
Major changes:
844
 
845
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
846
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
847
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
848
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
849
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
850

863
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
864
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
865
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
866
 
867
    * Utility ccrelease
868
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
869
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
870
 
871
    * Utility: svn
872
      Improved package import processing.
873
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
901
Major changes:
902
 
903
Minor changes:
904
    * Command: jats clobber
905
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
906
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
907
 
908
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
909
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
910
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
911
 
912
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
913
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
914
 
377 dpurdie 915
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
916
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
917
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 918
 
919
    * jats svnlabel
920
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
921
 
922
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
923
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
924
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
925
 
926
    * Built Daemon support
927
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
928
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
929

932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
933
Major changes:
934
    * GCC Toolset
935
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
936
      New methodology is:
937
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
938
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
939
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
940
        as the main binary.
941
 
942
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
943
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
944
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
945
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
946
      both worlds.
947
 
948
Minor changes:
949
    * HTML Documentation
950
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
951

959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
960
Major changes:
961
    * Jats Sandbox
962
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
963
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
964
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
965
 
966
    * RIORDS Platform
967
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
968
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion

990
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
991
 
992
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
993
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
994
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
995
      a vob.
996
 
997
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

1059
Minor changes:
1060

      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
1062
      the clearcase label.
1063

1078
Minor changes:
1079
    * HTML Help
1080
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1081
 
1082
    * jats build -noforce
1083
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1084
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1085
      be forced.
1086
 
1087
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1088
 
1089
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1090
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1091
 
1092
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1093
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1094
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1095
 
1096
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1097
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1098
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1099
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1100
 
1101
    * Utility: svnrelease
1102
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1103
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1104
 
1105
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1106
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1107
 
1108
    * Utility: svn
1109
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1110
      installed and can be used.
1111
 
1112
    * Toolset: CSharp
1113
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1114
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1115
      character.
1116
 
1117
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1118
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1119
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1120
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1121
      masking an error.
1122
 
1123
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1124
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1125
      enhancement.
1126
 
1127
    * Toolset: dafbr
1128
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
1129

1131
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1132
        - Return correct path to package
1133
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1134
 
1135
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1136
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1137
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1138
 
1139
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1140
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1141
      packages.
1142
 
1143
    * make command: show
1144
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1145
      'jats make show' command.
1146
 
1147
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1148
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1149
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1150
 
1151
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1152
      executed on Unix machines.

1381
 
1382
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.

Minor changes:
1513
    * Jats label command
1514
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1515
      Not recommended for general use.
1516
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1517
      directories within the current view.
1518
 
1519
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1520
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1521
      elsewhere.
1522
 
1523
    * Jats save_build
1524
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1525
      the determination of a branch.
1526
 
1527
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1528
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1529
 
1530
    * Jats build
1531
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1532
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1533
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1534
 
1535
    * Borland6 toolset
1536
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1537
      to match the documented install location of:
1538
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1539
 
1540
    * Jats build
1541
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1542
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1543
      This is a very quick operation.
1544
 
1545
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1546
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1547
 
1548
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1549
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1550
      files are only recreated if need be.
1551
 
1552
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1553
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1554
      make the package.
1555
 
1556
    * Jats sandbox
1557
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1558
 
1559
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1560
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1561
 
1562
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1563
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1564
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1565
      is performed.
1566
 
1567
Internal:
1568
    * build.pl
1569
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

1601
Major changes:
1602
 
1603
Minor changes:
1604
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1605
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1606
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1607
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1608
 
1609
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1610
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1611
 
1612
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1613
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1614
      platform builds.
1615
 
1616
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1617
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1618
      directory tree.
1619
 
1620
    * New command: jats man
1621
      Produces full help on a specified item.
1622
 
1623

323 dpurdie 1632
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
1633
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1634
Major changes:
1635
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1636
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1637
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1638
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1639
 
1640
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1641
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1642
 
1643
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1644
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1645
 
1646
      Examples:
1647
            jats upddep -show
1648
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1649
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1650
 
1651
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1652
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1653
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1654
 
1655
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1656
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1657
 
1658
Minor changes:
1659
 
1660
Internal changes:
1661
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
1662
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
1666
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1667
Major changes:
1668
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1669
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1670
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1671
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1672
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1673
      stream.
1674
 
1675
      Example:
1676
 
1677
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1678
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1679
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1680
                     );
1681
Minor changes:
1682
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1683
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1684
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1685
      directive.
1686
 
1687
    * GCC Toolkit
1688
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1689
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1690
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1691
      the point of termination.
1692
 
1693
    * Jats save_build utility
1694
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1695
      under windows.
1696
 
1697
    * Jats sandbox
1698
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1699
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1700
      in different sandboxes.
1701
 
1702
    * Jats release
1703
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1704

1710
Minor changes:
1711
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1712
      Added -locatedir=name
1713
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1714
      directory.
1715
 
1716
    * jats label utility
1717
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1718
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1719
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1720
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1721
 
1722
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1723

Major changes:
317 dpurdie 1728
 
1729
Minor changes:
1730
    * WinCe Toolsets
1731
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1732
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1733
        noExceptions            - Disable
1734
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1735
      Example:
1736
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1737
 
1738
    * Solaris targets
1739
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1740
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1741
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1742
      machine type.
1743
 
1744

1745
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1746
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1747
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1748
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1749
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1750
      project files.
1751
 
1752
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1753
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1754
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1755
 
1756
Minor changes:
1757
    * Added more internal documentation
1758
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1759
 
1760
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1761
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1762
 
1763
    * Jats save_build utility
1764
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1765
      under windows.
1766
 
1767
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1768
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1769
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1770
      libraries.
1771
 
1772
    * Solaris builds
1773
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1774
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1775
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1776
      of the build failure.
1777
 
1778
 
1779
Internal changes:
1780
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1781
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1782
 
1783
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1784
      PkgArchive topics.

1788
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1789
Major changes:
1790
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1791
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1792
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1793
      existing 32-bit builds.
1794
 
1795
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1796
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1797
 
1798
Minor changes:
1799
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1800
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1801
 
1802
    * Package searching
1803
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1804
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1805
 
1806
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1807
 
1808
    * jats help
1809
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1810
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1811
 
1812
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1813
      with one of:
1814
        jats -h
1815
        jats help jats
1816
 
1817
Internal:
1818
    * cmdfile utility
1819
      Added macros:
1820
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1821
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1822
 
1823
      Corrected
1824
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)

        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1830
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1831
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

1840
Internal changes
1841
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1842
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1843
      Useful side effects include:
1844
 
1845
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1846
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1847
 
1848
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1849
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1850
 
1851
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1852
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1853
        BuildPkgArchive
1854
 
313 dpurdie 1855
    * Perl Modules
1856
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1857
      release. This will:
1858
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1859
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1860
          reported by ERG.
1861
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
1869
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1870
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1871
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1872
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1873
 
1874
    * Jats label utility
1875
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1876
 
1877
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1878
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1879
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1880
 
1881
    * Jats core
1882
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1883
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1884
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1893
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1894
      This is now fixed.
1895
 
309 dpurdie 1896
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1897
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1898
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1899
 
1900
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1901

    * Generating makefiles
1910
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1911
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1912
      an error.
1913
 
1914
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1915
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1916
 
1917
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1918
      Highly specialized directive.

    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1926
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1927
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1928
 
1929
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1930
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1931
 
1932
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1933
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1934
      Support includes
1935
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1936
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1937
 
1938
Minor changes:
1939
    * Build file processing
1940
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1941
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1942
 
1943
    * MOS builds
1944
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1945
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1946
 
1947
    * MOS builds
1948
      New 'known' product: PICP
1949
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.

    * GenerateFiles directive
1952
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1953
        under windows.
1954
 
1955
        .
1956
 
1957
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1958
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1959
 
1960
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1961
      to the output stream.
1962
 
1963
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1964
 
1965
    * Windows Shell
1966
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1967
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1968
 
1969
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1970
 
1971
    * H8S toolset
1972
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1973
 
1974
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1975
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1976
 
1977
Internal changes
1978
    * WinCe builds
1979
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the

    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2001
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2002
      Changes are transparent to users.
2003
 
2004
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2005
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2006
      this occurs.
2007
 
2008
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2009
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2010
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2011
      automated build framework.
2012
 
2013
    * jats sandbox command
2014
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2090
Major changes:
2091
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2092
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2093
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2094
 
2095
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2096
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2097
 
2098
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2099
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2100
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2101
           names cannot be changed.
2102
 
2103
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2104
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2105
 
2106
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2107
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2108
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2109
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2110
 
2111
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2112
      file.
2113
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2114
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2115
      MyPackage.dpk.
2116
 
2117
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2118
      file.
2119
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2120
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2121
      MyDll.dpr.
2122
 
2123
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2124
      file.
2125
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2126
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2127
      MyProg.dpr.
2128
 
2129
Minor changes:
2130
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2131
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2132
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2133
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2134
 
2135
    * BuildVersion directive
2136
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2137
      in a Delphi Unit.
2138
 
2139
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2140
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2141
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2142
      'know' the location of the files.
2143
 
2144
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2145
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2146
 
2147
Internal Changes:
2148
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2149
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2150
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2151
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2152
 
2153
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2154
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2155
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
2156

287 dpurdie 2158
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2160
Major changes:
2161
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2162
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2163
      information for purely C++ builds.
2164
 
289 dpurdie 2165
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2166
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2167
 
289 dpurdie 2168
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2169
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2170
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2171
 
2172
Minor changes:
2173
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2174
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2175
 
2176
    * updatenodespec utility
2177
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2178
      Manager database.

2191
      Remove warning created during normal operation
2192

      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
2201
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
2202
 
2203
Minor changes:
2204
    * MergeLibrary directive
2205
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
2206
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
2207
 
2208

Major changes:
2213
 
2214
Minor changes:
2215
    * New command: jats make show
2216
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2217
      used in the build.
2218
 
2219
    * Escrow command
2220
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2221
 
2222
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2223
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2224
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2225
 
2226
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2227
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2228
 
2229
------------------------------------------------------------------------
279 dpurdie 2230

277 dpurdie 2231
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2232
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2233
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2234
 
279 dpurdie 2235
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2236
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2237
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2238
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2239
 
2240
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2241
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2242
 
2243
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2244
 
2245
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2246
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2247
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2248
 
2249
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2250
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2251
        processed.
2252
 
2253
      Removed the '-delete' option
2254
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2255
 
277 dpurdie 2256
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2257
    * Sandbox command
2258
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2259
 
2260
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2261
      target from consideration in the build set.
2262
 
2263
    * MCR Toolset
2264
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2265
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2266
 
2267
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2268
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2269
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2270
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2271
 
2272
    * Jats run_test command
2273
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2274
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2275
 
2276
    * descpkg file
2277
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2278
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2279
 
2280
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2281
     Now contains build trace information
2282
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2283
 
2284
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2285
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2286
     it contains 'jar' files.
2287
 
2288
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2289
 
2290
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2291
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2292
 
2293
   * BuildVersion directive
2294
     Form:
2295
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2296
     now works as expected.
2297
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2298
 
2299
Internal Changes:
2300
 
2301
    * Error reporting mechanism
2302
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2303
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2304
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
2314
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
2315
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
2316
    then starts.
2317
 
2318
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2319
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2320
 
2321
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2322
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2323
    non-platform option.
2324
 
279 dpurdie 2325
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

2337
 
2338
    * Jats Utility: dstatus
2339
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
2340
 
2341
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
2342
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
2343
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.

2464
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2465
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
2466

2489
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2490
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

Version:  2.76.0000.cr                               Released: 24-Jun-08
2734
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2735
Major changes:
2736
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
2737
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2738
 
2739
      New platforms:
2740
        CSHARP2005
2741
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2742
         Support extends to allow:
2743
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2744
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2745
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2746
 
2747
        VS2005
2748
         Support extends to allow:
2749
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2750
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2751
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2752
 
2753
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2754
      through a version selector:
2755
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2756
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2757
 
2758
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2759
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2760
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2761
 
2762
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2763
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2764
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2765
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2766
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2767
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2768
          under VS2005.
2769
 
2770
Minor changes:
2771
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
2772
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
2773
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
2774
 
2775
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2776
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2777
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2778
 
2779
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2780
 
2781
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2782
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2783
 
2784
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2785
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2786
      a minimal value of perl.
2787
 
2788
      Removed excessive require statements.
2789
 
2790
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2791
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2792
      Include JATS specific files for
2793
        1) Windows
2794
        2) Linux
2795
 
2796
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2797
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2798
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2799
      machines.
2800
 
2801
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2802
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2803
 
2804
    * JATS Environment
2805
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2806
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2807
 
2808
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2809
      wrapper scripts.
2810
 
2811
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2812
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2813
      Spell check help and code.

Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2867
  * New toolset and platform
2868
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2869
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2870
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2871
    this platform.
2872
 
2873
Minor changes:
2874
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2875
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2876
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2877
    work.
2878
 
2879
  * Jats utility: release
2880
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2881
    published to dpkg_archive.
2882
 
249 dpurdie 2883
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2884
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2885
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2886
    supported for ANT builds.
2887
 
2888
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2889
        releasemanager.releasename
2890
        releasemanager.projectname
2891
 
2892
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2893
    tagged data item of the form
2894
 
2895
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2896
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2897
 
2898
  * Mug File Generation
2899
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2900
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2901
 
2902
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2903
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2904
    required.
2905
 
2906
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2907
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2908
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2909
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2910
    the files in order to use them.
2911
 
2912
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2913
    locate the file.
2914
 
2915
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2916
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2917
 
2918
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2919
        * CSharp
2920
        * Properties
2921
        * WinRC
2922
 
2923
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2924
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2925
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2926
    Value is correctly assigned.
2927

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2931
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2932
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2933
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2934
 
2935
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2936
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2937
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2938
 
2939
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2940
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2941
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2942
 
2943
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2944
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2945
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2946
 
2947
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2948
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2949
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2950
    correct.
2951
 
2952
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2953
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2954
 
2955
Minor changes:
2956
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2957
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2958
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2959
 
2960
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2961
    This will simplify new user setup.
2962
 
2963
  * All Unix Toolsets
2964
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2965
    on unix systems
2966
 
2967
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2968
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2969
    on some Solaris Machines.
2970
 
2971
  * JATS -version=<version>
2972
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2973
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

Minor changes:
235 dpurdie 3127
    * Extract/Release utility.
3128
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
3129
      that can handle spaces
3130
 
3131
    * MOS Compiler
3132
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3133
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3134
 
3135
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3136
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3137
      descpkg files to be copied.
3138
 
3139
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
3140
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
3141
 
3142
    * JATS ANT command
3143
      Better selection of the ant build file
3144
 
3145
    * Build directive: BuildVersion
3146
      Extended the WinRc version file to allow the name of an icon to be
3147
      embedded in the .RC file.

    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
3156
 
3157
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
3158
      <project> field.
3159
 
3160
    * CCdiff utility
3161
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
3162
 
3163
    * Escrow utility
3164
      Quote 'path' in the generated extraction commands
3165
      Allow escrow to be based on a single Release Manager package

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3175
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3176
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3177
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3178
 
3179
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3180
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3181
 
3182
    * Jats wrapper
3183
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3184
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3185

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3189
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3190
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3191
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3192
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3193
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3194
 
3195
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3196
 
3197
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3198
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3199
 
3200
    * Running Jats
3201
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3202
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3203
      This may affect some windows developers.
3204
 
3205
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3206
      Future versions will generate an error.
3207
 
3208
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3209
 
3210
Minor changes:
3211
    * Perl Version Check
3212
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3213
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3214
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3215
 
3216
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3217
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3218
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3219
      build.
3220
 
3221
    * Jats Internals
3222
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3223
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3224
 
3225
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3226
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3227
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3228
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3229
      process.
3230
 
3231
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3232
      Only works under Windows.
3233
 
3234
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3235
 
3236
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3237
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3238
 
3239
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3240
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3241
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3242
 
3243
    * Jats eprog
3244
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3245
      directory.
3246
 
3247
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3248
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3249
      build metrics.
3250

3254
Major changes:
3255
 
3256
Minor changes:
3257
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3258
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3259
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3260
      automated build system. New options are:
3261
        -pname=Package_Name
3262
        -pversion=Package_Version
3263
 
3264
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3265
      transferring the package. New options are:
3266
        -test
3267
 
3268
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3269
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3270
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3271
 
3272
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3273
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3274
 
3275
    * Solaris Toolset
3276
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3277
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3278
      programs are still supported.

3283
Major changes:
3284
 
3285
Minor changes:
3286
    * WINCE toolsets
3287
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3288
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3289
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3290
      when header files cannot be found.
3291
 
3292
    * GenerateFiles directive
3293
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3294
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3295
      that are difficult to solve.
3296
 
3297
    * MakePerlModule directive
3298
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3299
      to the the module builder.
3300
 
3301
    * Jats Tool: label
3302
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3303
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3304
      -dirs=xxx options.
3305
 
3306
    * Jats Tool: release
3307
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3308
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3309
 
3310
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3311
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3312
 
3313
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3314
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3315
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3316
 
3317
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

3323
Major changes:
3324
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3325
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3326
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3327
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3328
 
3329
Minor changes:
3330
    * label utility
3331
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3332
 
3333
    * make package and install operations
3334
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3335
      transfer.
3336
 
3337
    * make clean up
3338
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3339
 
3340
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3341
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3342
      minor file transformations such as:
3343
        Copy, with optional rename
3344
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3345
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3346
 
3347
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3348
 
3349
    * jats release utility
3350
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3351
      in place.
3352
 
3353
    * escrow utility
3354
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3355
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
3363
    * Makefile generation
3364
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3365
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3366
      generate phase early.
3367
 
3368

3369
Version: 2.71.2.cr                                Released: 09-Nov-07
3370
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3371
Major changes:
3372
 
3373
Minor changes:
3374
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3375
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3376
 
3377
    * Makefile generation
3378
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3379
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3380
 
3381
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3382
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3383
 
3384
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3385
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3386
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3387
 
3388
    * jats_rewrite utility
3389
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3390
 
3391
    * jats escrow utility
3392
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3393
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3394
 
3395
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3396
      inconsistent packages.
3397
 
3398
    * jats make help
3399
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3400
      available within the current build.
3401
 
3402
    * jats makefiles
3403
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3404
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3405
 
3406
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3407
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3408
 
3409
    * gcc toolset
3410
      SharedLibries.
3411
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3412
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3413
 
3414
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3415
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3416
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3417
 
3418
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3419
        New options:
3420
            --MultiScan
3421
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3422
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3423
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3429
Major changes:
3430
 
3431
Minor changes:
3432
    PackageLib directive
3433
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3434
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3435
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3436
 
3437
    MakefileGenerate directive
3438
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3439
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3440
 
3441
    Multiple Parent detection
3442
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3443
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3444
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3445
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3446
 
3447
    Solaris Toolset
3448
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3449
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3450
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3451
    link.
3452
 
3453
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3454
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3455
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3456
 
3457
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3458
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3459
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3460
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3465
Major changes:
3466
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3467
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3468
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3469
 
3470
    Summary of changes:
3471
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3472
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3473
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3474
          flexibility.
3475
 
3476
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3477
 
3478
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3479
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3480
          interface directory and associated build information.
3481
 
3482
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3483
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3484
          than one second.
3485
 
3486
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3487
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3488
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3489
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3490
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3491
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3492
 
3493
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3494
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3495
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3496
 
3497
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3498
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3499
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3500
          building them.
3501
 
3502
        - Detection of build file changes
3503
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3504
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3505
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3506
 
3507
        - Quieter make output
3508
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3509
 
3510
 
3511
Minor changes:
3512
    MakeAnt Directive
3513
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3514
 
3515
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3516
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3517
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3518
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3519
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3520

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3531
    are generated.
3532
 
3533
    MakeAnt
3534
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3535
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3536
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3537
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3538
 
3539
    MCR platform
3540
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

Minor changes:
3549
    MakeAnt directive extended
3550
    New option: --PackageBase
3551
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3552
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3553
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3554
 
3555
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3556
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3557
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3558
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
3578
 
3579
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3580
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3581
 
3582
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3583
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3584
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3585
 
3586
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3587
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3588
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3589
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

3616
Minor changes:
3617
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3618
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3619
 
3620
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3621
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3622
      last.
3623
 
3624
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3625
 
3626
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3627
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3628
 
3629
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3630
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3631
 
3632
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3633
 
3634
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3635
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3636
 
3637
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3638
 
3639
 
3640
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3641
           with the --System option
3642
 
3643
    * LMOS target platform
3644
      Includes LINUX_ETX

3649
Major changes:
3650
 
3651
Minor changes:
3652
    * Solaris Toolset
3653
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3654
      dependent packages.
3655
 
3656
    * RunTest operation
3657
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3658
 
3659
    * Csharp toolkit
3660
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
3661

3663
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
3664
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3665
Major changes:
3666
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3667
 
3668
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3669
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3670
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3671
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3672
      path.
3673
 
3674
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3675
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3676
      reproducible.
3677
 
3678
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3679
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3680
 
3681
      There are several aspects to the change
3682
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3683
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3684
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3685
 
3686
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3687
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3688
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3689
          controlled separately.
3690
 
3691
Minor changes:
3692
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3693
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3694
        Remove duplicates
3695
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3696

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3699
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3700
Major changes:
3701
 
3702
Minor changes:
3703
    * Makefile sanity test
3704
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3705
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3706
 
3707
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3708
      x86 machine.
3709
 
3710
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3711
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3712
 
3713
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3714
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3715
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3716
Major changes:
3717
    * RunTest directive
3718
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3719
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3720
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3721
 
3722
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3723
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3724
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3725
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3726
 
3727
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3728
        builder within the current toolset.
3729
 
3730
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3731
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3732
 
3733
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3734
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3735
      containing the RunTest directive.
3736
 
3737
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3738
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3739
 
3740
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3741
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3742
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3743
 
3744
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3745
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3746
                            P or D suffix.
3747
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3748
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3749
 
3750
Minor changes:
3751
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3752
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3753
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3754
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3755
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3756
 
3757
    * Save Build Utility
3758
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3759
      used in a ripple build.
3760
 
3761
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3762
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3763
 
3764
    * Release Utility
3765
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3766
      when an error is encountered.
3767
 
3768
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3769
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3770
 
3771
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3772
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3773
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3774
 
3775
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3776
      before the makefiles are created.
3777
 
3778
    * TestProg directive
3779
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3780
 
3781
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3782
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3783
 
3784

3787
Major changes:
3788
    * New build target
3789
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3790
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3791
 
3792
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3793
            DEVLINUX
3794
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3795
 
3796
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3797
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3798
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3799
 
3800
Minor changes:
3801
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3802
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3803
 
3804
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3805
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3806
 
3807
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3808
      and .cs files.
3809
 
3810
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3811
      thing.
3812
 
3813
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3814
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3815
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3816
      were it places temp files.
3817
 
3818
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3819
      interaction with other builds.
3820
 
3821
    * Release utility command
3822
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3823
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3824
      component in the clearcase tag name.

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

4296
Major changes:
4297
 
4298
Minor changes:
4299
  * jats label
4300
    Added a -vob=name option
4301
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4302
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4303
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4304
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4305
 
4306
    Added a -user=name option
4307
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4308
    label to the named user.
4309
 
4310
  * jats release
4311
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4312
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4313
 
4314
  * JATS build.pl
4315
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4316
    ie:
4317
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4322
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4323
Major changes:
4324
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4325
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4326
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4327
    the makefile internals. ie:
4328
        --Var(BuildName)
4329
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4330
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4331
 
4332
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4333
 
4334
  * GenerateFiles
4335
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4336
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4337
 
4338
  * BuildPlatforms
4339
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4340
 
4341
Minor changes:
4342
  * GCC Toolset
4343
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4344
 
4345
Internal changes:
4346
  * GenerateFiles
4347
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4348
 
4349
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4350
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4351
 
4352
 
4353
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4354
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4355
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4356
Major changes:
4357
  * Caching JATS
4358
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4359
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4360
 
4361
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4362
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4363
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4364
 
4365
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4366
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4367
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4368
 
4369
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4370
 
4371
Minor changes:
4372
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4373
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4374
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4375
 
4376
  * jats build
4377
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4378
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4379
    processed by the build.
4380
 
4381
  * jats build
4382
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4383
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4384
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4385
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4386
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4387
 
4388
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4389
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4390
    Path is not specified.
4391
 
4392
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4393
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4394
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4395
        --Dir=$Pinc
4396
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4397
 
4398
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4399
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4400
    Windows platform.
4401
 
4402
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4403
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4404
            by 'purecov.
4405
 
4406
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4407
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4408
 
4409
        - OPTIONS=purify
4410
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4411
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4412
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4413

4417
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4418
Major changes:
4419
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4420
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4421
    Example:
4422
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4423
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4424
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4425
 
4426
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4427
    been determined.
4428
 
4429
Minor changes:
4430
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4431
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4432
    located at build-time.
4433
 
4434
  * Unix based systems
4435
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4436
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4437
 
4438
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4439
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4440
    driver being built.
4441
 
4442

  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
4455
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4456
 
4457
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4458
    dependancy information within a package.
4459
 
4460
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4461
    messages.

4471
 
4472
    GenerateFiles.
4473
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4474
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4475
                      be run on every invocation.
4476
 
4477
 
4478

4483
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4484
  There are two mechanism:
4485
 
4486
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4487
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4488
 
4489
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4490
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4491
 
4492
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4493
  default.

  * SunWorks Toolset
4502
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4503
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4504
    It is based on machine type.
4505
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4506
 
4507
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4508
 
4509
Minor changes:
4510

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4537
 
4538
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4539
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4540
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4541
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4542
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4543
 
4544
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4545
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4546
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4547
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4548
 
4549
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4550
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
4562
 
4563
 
4564
Minor changes:
4565
  * JATS wrapper script
4566
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4567
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4568
    to setup links to system programs.
4569

        debug_debuginfo
4609
 
4610
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4611
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4612
    Theses are:
4613
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4614
        SOLARIS_AMD
4615
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4616
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4617
 
4618
Minor changes:
4619

    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4634
    messages
4635
 
4636
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4637
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4638
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4639
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4640

Major changes:
4645
 
4646
Minor changes:
4647
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4648
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4649
    library without creating the body of the library:
4650
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4651
 
4652
 
4653
  * MOS toolsets
4654
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4655
    library without creating the body of the library:
4656
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4657
 
4658
  * JATS BIN directories
4659
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4660
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4661
    using autoconf.
4662
 
4663
  * Generate directive
4664
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4665
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4666
 
4667
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4668

  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4685
    Initial release.
4686
 
4687
  * Packaging directives
4688
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4689
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4690
 
4691
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4692
        SOLARIS
4693
        WIN32
4694
 
4695
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4696
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4697
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4698
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4699
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4700
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4701
 
4702
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4703
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4704
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4705
 
4706
 
4707
Minor changes:
4708
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4709
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4710
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4711
 
4712
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4713
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4714
    location
4715
 
4716
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4717
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4718
 
4719
  * Utility genrc
4720
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4721
 
4722
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4723
    Added option: -new
4724
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4725
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4726
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4727
 
4728
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4729
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4730
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4731
 
4732
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4733
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4734
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4735
 
4736
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4737
   features - in a uniform manner.
4738
 
4739
 
4740
Internal Changes:
4741
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4742
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4743
 
4744
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4745
        1) Platform information available at build time
4746
        2) Dynamic platform names
4747
 
4748
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4749
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4750
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4751
 
4752
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4753
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4754
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4755
 
4756
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4757
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4758
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4759
    needed.
4760
 
4761
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4762
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4763
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4764
    files from all of these.
4765

4767
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
4768
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4769
Major changes:
4770
 
4771
Minor changes:
4772
  * WinCE toolset
4773
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4774
 
4775
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4776
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4778
Major changes:
4779
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4780
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4781
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4782
 
4783
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4784
 
4785
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4786
    the operations.
4787
 
4788
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4789
 
4790
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4791
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4792
 
4793
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4794
 
4795
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4796
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4797
 
4798
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4799
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4800
    Extended the built-in help
4801
    Added useful error messages
4802
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4803
 
4804
  * WinCE toolset
4805
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4806
 
4807
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4808
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4809
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4810
 
4811
Minor changes:
4812
  * JATS wrapper script
4813
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4814
    the command line.
4815
 
4816
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4817
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4818
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4819
 
4820
Internal Changes:
4821
  * Common Error Reporting
4822
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4823
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4824
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4825
    level.
4826
 
4827
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4828
    displayed.
4829
 
4830
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4831
 
4832
  * Added JatsSystem module
4833
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4834
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4835
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
4836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4837
Major changes:
4838
 
4839
Minor changes:
4840
  * BR Compiler toolset
4841
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4842
    .def files to include other files.
4843
 
4844
  * IAR toolset
4845
    Added AT7272 support
4846
 
4847
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4848
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4849
 
4850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4851
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4852
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4853
Major changes:
4854
 
4855
Minor changes:
4856
  * BR Compiler toolset
4857
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4858
    use.
4859
 
4860
 
4861
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4862
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4863
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4864
Major changes:
4865
 
4866
Minor changes:
4867
  * Mictotec toolset
4868
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4869
    builds.
4870
 
4871
  * JATS Core
4872
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4873
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4874
    behaviour.
4875
 
4876
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4877
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4878
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4879
Major changes:
4880
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4881
    Deployment package will be affected.
4882
 
4883
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4884
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4885
 
4886
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4887
 
4888
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4889
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4890
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4891
    packages.
4892
 
4893
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4894
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4895
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4896
 
4897
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4898
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4899
 
4900
Minor changes:
4901
  * SubDir directive
4902
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4903
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4904
 
4905
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4906
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4907
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4908
    of the file usage.
4909
 
4910
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4911
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4912
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4913
 
4914
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4915
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4916
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4917
 
4918
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4919
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4920
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4921
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4922
 
4923
 
4924
Internal Changes:
4925
  * Code refactor
4926
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4927
 
4928
  * Deployment utilities
4929
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4930
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4931
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4932
    the module can locate the file.
4933
 
4934
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4935
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4936
 
4937
  * JATS core
4938
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4939
 
4940
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4941
 
4942
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4943
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4944
    through the use of environment variables.
4945
 
4946
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4947
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4948
 
4949
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4950
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4951
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4952
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4953
 
4954
  * Make environment
4955
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4956
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4957
 
4958
 
4959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4960
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4961
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4962
Major changes:
4963
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4964
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4965
 
4966
 
4967
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4968
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4969
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4970
 
4971
Not Released.
4972
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4973
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4974
 
4975
 
4976
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4977
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4978
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4979
Major changes:
4980
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4981
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4982
    radically replaced.
4983
 
4984
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4985
    Usage:
4986
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4987
 
4988
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4989
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4990
    this solution:
4991
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4992
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4993
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4994
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4995
 
4996
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4997
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4998
    order to work.
4999
 
5000
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5001
    reduced functionality.
5002
 
5003
 
5004
Minor changes:
5005
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5006
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5007
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5008
 
5009
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5010
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5011
    within the makefiles.
5012
        Options:
5013
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5014
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5015
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5016
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5017
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5018
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5019
        Useage:
5020
 
5021
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5022
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5023
 
5024
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5025
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5026
    is not in the current directory.
5027
 
5028
  * Jats Command: ant'
5029
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5030
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5031
 
5032
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5033
 
5034
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5035
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5036
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5037
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5038
 
5039
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5040
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5041
    Thus
5042
 
5043
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5044
 
5045
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5046
 
5047
 
5048
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5049
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5050
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5051
Major changes:
5052
 
5053
Minor changes:
5054
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5055
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5056
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5057
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5058
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5059
 
5060
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5061
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5062
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5063
 
5064
Internal changes:
5065
  * JATS toolsets
5066
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5067
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5068
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5069
 
5070
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5071
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5072
 
5073
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5074
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5075
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5076
Major changes:
5077
  * Jats command: etool
5078
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5079
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5080
 
5081
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5082
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5083
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5084
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5085
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5086
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5087
 
5088
Minor changes:
5089
 
5090
 
5091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5092
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5093
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5094
Major changes:
5095
  * JATS environment variables
5096
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5097
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5098
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5099
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5100
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5101
 
5102
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5103
              Remote repository
5104
 
5105
    Added GBE_DPLY
5106
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5107
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5108
 
5109
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5110
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5111
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5112
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5113
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5114
 
5115
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5116
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5117
 
5118
 
5119
Minor changes:
5120
  * JATS utility: build
5121
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5122
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5123
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5124
 
5125
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5126
    Ensure label is not locked
5127
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5128
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5129
 
5130
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5131
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5132
    to a specific type of build.
5133
 
5134
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5135
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5136
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5137
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5138
 
5139
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5140
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5141
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5142
 
5143
  * JATS utility: release
5144
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5145
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5146
 
5147
  * JATS utility: label
5148
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5149
    when it is being created.
5150
 
5151
Internal Changes
5152
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5153
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5154
 
5155
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5156
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5157
 
5158
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5159
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5160
    different results.
5161
 
5162
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5163
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5164
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5165
 
5166

5167
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5168
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5169
Major changes:
5170
 
5171
  * MCR toolset
5172
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5173
 
5174
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5175
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5176
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5177
Major changes:
5178
  * WIN32 utilities
5179
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5180
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5181
 
5182
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5183
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5184
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5185
 
5186
Minor changes:
5187
  * BuildVersion
5188
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5189
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5190
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5191
 
5192
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5193
 
5194
  * Unix Builds
5195
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5196
    library or a shared library.
5197
 
5198
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5199
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5200
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5201
    start with 'lib'.
5202
 
5203
  * BuildPkgArchive
5204
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5205
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5206
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5207
 
5208
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5209
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5210
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5211
Major changes:
5212
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5213
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5214
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5215
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5216
    being manually maintained.
5217
 
5218
 
5219
Minor changes:
5220
  * MakeAnt directive
5221
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5222
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5223
    supports ANT builds.
5224
 
5225
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5226
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5227
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5228
 
5229
  * Label utility
5230
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5231
    files to be labeled.
5232
 
5233
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5234
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5235
    on Solaris.
5236
 
5237
  * Generated makefiles
5238
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5239
    nothing.
5240
 
5241
  * MOS Toolset
5242
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5243
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5244
    modules.
5245
 
5246
  * Utility: gen_cots
5247
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5248
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5249
 
5250
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5251
 
5252
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5253
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5254
 
5255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5256
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5257
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5258
Major changes:
5259
  None
5260
 
5261
Minor changes:
5262
  * DEVI addressed
5263
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5264
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5265
 
5266
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5267
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5268
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5269
 
5270
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5271
 
5272
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5273
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5274
 
5275
  * RunTest directive
5276
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5277
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5278
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5279
 
5280
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5281
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5282
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5283
    packaged under JATS
5284
 
5285
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5286
          supported within JATS.
5287
 
5288
  * Jats utility wrapper
5289
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5290
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5291
 
5292
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5293
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5294
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5295
 
5296
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5297
    Eg: jats ant
5298
 
5299
  * Jats utility wrapper
5300
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5301
 
5302
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5303
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5304
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5305
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5306
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5307
 
5308
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5309
    expect a build.pl file.
5310
 
5311
  * Jats utility wrapper
5312
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5313
 
5314
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5315
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5316
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5317
 
5318
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5319
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5320
 
5321
  * Build files
5322
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5323
    ERG extensions.
5324
 
5325
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5326
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5327
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5328
Major changes:
5329
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5330
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5331
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5332
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5333
 
5334
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5335
 
5336
Minor changes:
5337
  * None
5338
 
5339
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5340
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5341
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5342
Major changes:
5343
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5344
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5345
    ie:
5346
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5347
 
5348
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5349
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5350
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5351
    environments are compatible.
5352
 
5353
 
5354
Minor changes:
5355
  * BuildName option
5356
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5357
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5358
 
5359
  * jats.bat
5360
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5361
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5362
 
5363
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5364
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5365
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5366
Major changes:
5367
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5368
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5369
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5370
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5371
 
5372
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5373
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5374
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5375
 
5376
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5377
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5378
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5379
 
5380
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5381
    transferred.
5382
 
5383
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5384
    See notes below.
5385
 
5386
  * WIN32 toolset
5387
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5388
    correctly.
5389
 
5390
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5391
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5392
 
5393
  * BuildVersion
5394
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5395
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5396
    other langauges as needed.
5397
 
5398
 
5399
Minor changes:
5400
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5401
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5402
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5403
    version strings.
5404
 
5405
  * GenerateFiles directive
5406
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5407
    package or an imported package.
5408
 
5409
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5410
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5411
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5412
 
5413
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5414
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5415
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5416
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5417
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5418
 
5419
Internal Changes
5420
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5421
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5422
    of utilities.
5423
 
5424
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5425
    functions.
5426
 
5427
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5428
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5429
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5430
Major changes:
5431
  * Generated makefiles
5432
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5433
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5434
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5435
 
5436
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5437
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5438
    incorrectly processing:
5439
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5440
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5441
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5442
    confused.
5443
 
5444
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5445
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5446
    The construct
5447
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5448
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5449
    then it works.
5450
 
5451
  * MakeAnt directive
5452
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5453
 
5454
    This option has the following effects
5455
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5456
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5457
 
5458
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5459
           early - in the generated files phase.
5460
 
5461
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5462
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5463
 
5464
 
5465
Minor changes:
5466
  * JATS post-installation script
5467
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5468
 
5469
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5470
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5471
    windows.
5472
 
5473
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5474
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5475
 
5476
  * Jats wrapper script
5477
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5478
        1) Contain spaces
5479
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5480
 
5481
  * Toolset
5482
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5483
 
5484
  * JAVA toolset
5485
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5486
    directive:
5487
 
5488
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5489
 
5490
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5491
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5492
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5493
 
5494
  * GCC Toolset
5495
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5496
 
5497
  * Makefile generation
5498
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5499
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5500
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5501
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5502
    package could not be used.
5503
 
5504
  * Unit Tests
5505
    The following environment variables are set:
5506
 
5507
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5508
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5509
 
5510
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5511
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5512
 
5513
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5514
 
5515
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5516
 
5517
 
5518
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5519
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5521
Major changes:
5522
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5523
 
5524
    Special features of this toolset.
5525
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5526
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5527
       incorporated within the target image.
5528
 
5529
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5530
       --Set=Name=Value
5531
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5532
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5533
 
5534
       --Ref=name
5535
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5536
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5537
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5538
                will be taken from the build version number.
5539
 
5540
Minor changes:
5541
  * MOS Toolset
5542
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5543
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5544
    packaged.
5545
 
5546
  * Src directive
5547
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5548
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5549
    specifier.
5550
 
5551
  * WIN32 runtime support
5552
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5553
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5554
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5555
 
5556
Internal:
5557
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5558
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5559
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5560
 
5561
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5562
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5563
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5564
Major changes:
5565
    * BuildAlias directive
5566
      Added options.
5567
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5568
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5569
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5570
                          targets.
5571
      Eg:
5572
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5573
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5574
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5575
 
5576
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5577
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5578
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5579
 
5580
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5581
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5582
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5583
 
5584
 
5585
Minor changes:
5586
  * Label utility
5587
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5588
    build.pl file
5589
 
5590
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5591
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5592
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5593
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5594
    --FilterIn option.
5595
 
5596
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5597
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5598
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5599
 
5600
  * Location of descpkg file
5601
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5602
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5603
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5604
 
5605
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5606
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5607
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5608
Major changes:
5609
  * RunTest directive
5610
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5611
    Additional options
5612
      --CopyIn=file
5613
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5614
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5615
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5616
        the test area.
5617
 
5618
    Additional operations
5619
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5620
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5621
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5622
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5623
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5624
    Allows flags:
5625
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5626
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5627
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5628
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5629
 
5630
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5631
    existence is tested.
5632
 
5633
  * Packaging Directives
5634
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5635
    such as LMOS.
5636
 
5637
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5638
 
5639
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5640
 
5641
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5642
 
5643
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5644
 
5645
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5646
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5647
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5648
 
5649
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5650
 
5651
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5652
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5653
 
5654
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5655
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5656
 
5657
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5658
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5659
 
5660
Minor changes:
5661
  * Script directive
5662
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5663
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5664
 
5665
  * JATS environment
5666
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5667
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5668
    the JATS wrapper script.
5669
 
5670
  * Label utility
5671
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5672
    There are three modes of operation:
5673
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5674
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5675
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5676
 
5677
 
5678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5679
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5681
Major changes:
5682
 
5683
Minor changes:
5684
  * label utility
5685
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5686
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5687
 
5688
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5689
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5690
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5691
      --ProgLoader=name
5692
 
5693
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5694
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5695
    Options to do this are:
5696
        --TreeDir=name
5697
        --FilterOut=regexp
5698
        --FilterIn=regexp
5699
        --StripDir
5700
 
5701
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5702
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5703
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5704
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5705
 
5706
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5707
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5708
 
5709
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5710
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5711
 
5712
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5713
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5714
 
5715
 
5716
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5717
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5718
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5719
Major changes:
5720
    * Make commands
5721
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5722
 
5723
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5724
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5725
 
5726
    * Label utility
5727
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5728
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5729
 
5730
Minor changes:
5731
    * Toolsets
5732
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5733
      variables and overrides.
5734
 
5735
      The make_init target is always run.
5736
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5737
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5738
 
5739
    * Deployment
5740
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5741
      with deployment operations.
5742
 
5743
    * Release utility
5744
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5745
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5746
      restricted by options within the build.
5747
 
5748
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5749
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5750
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5751
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5752
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5753
 
5754
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5755
      directives.
5756
 
5757
    * MakeProject directive
5758
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5759
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5760
 
5761
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5762
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5763
      is preserved.
5764
 
5765
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5766
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5767
      statements.
5768
 
5769
    * Mugfile generation
5770
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5771
      be placed in the target package.
5772
 
5773
 
5774
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5775
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5776
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5777
Major changes:
5778
    * BuildVersion directive
5779
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5780
      number as well as a patch number.
5781
 
5782
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5783
      number.
5784
 
5785
Minor changes:
5786
    * AddFlags directives
5787
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5788
      duplicate flags being added.
5789
 
5790
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5791
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5792
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5793
 
5794
    * Mug File Generation
5795
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5796
 
5797
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5798
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5799
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5800
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5801
     directory.
5802
 
5803
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5804
     reproducible.
5805
 
5806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5807
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5808
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5809
Major changes:
5810
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5811
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5812
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5813
      longer a list of directories.
5814
 
5815
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5816
      done within the toolset.
5817
 
5818
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5819
 
5820
    * JATS environment variables
5821
      Redefined variable
5822
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5823
                          Previously was a list that included the
5824
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5825
 
5826
      New variable
5827
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5828
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5829
 
5830
 
5831
Minor changes:
5832
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5833
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5834
      target platforms to be extracted.
5835
 
5836
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5837
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5838
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5839
 
5840
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5841
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5842
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5843
 
5844
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5845
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5846
 
5847
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5848
      Support ANT based XML files
5849
 
5850
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5851
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5852
      structure.
5853
 
5854
    * makefile.pl's
5855
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5856
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5857
 
5858
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5859
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5860
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5861
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5862
 
5863
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5864
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5865
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5866
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5867
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5868
      -- Auto.
5869
 
5870
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5871
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5872
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5873
 
5874
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5875
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5876
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5877
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5878
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5879
 
5880
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5881
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5882
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5883
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5884
      installed on the machine.
5885
 
5886
    * WINCE Targets
5887
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5888
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5889
 
5890
 
5891

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5893
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5894
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5895
Major changes:
5896
    * WIN32 platforms
5897
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5898
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5899
      and installed packages.
5900
 
5901
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5902
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5903
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5904
 
5905
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5906
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5907
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5908
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5909
      searched when looking for libraries.
5910
 
5911
Minor changes:
5912
    * GenerateFiles directive
5913
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5914
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5915
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5916
                          and drive letter
5917
 
5918
    * Src directive
5919
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5920
      directory of a package.
5921
 
5922
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5923
 
5924
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5925
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5926
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5927
 
5928
    * jats_rewrite utility
5929
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5930
 
5931
 
5932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5933
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5934
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5935
Major changes:
5936
    * SunWorks production builds
5937
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5938
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5939
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5940
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5941
      compiler documentation.
5942
 
5943
    * MOS Toolset
5944
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5945
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5946
 
5947
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5948
 
5949
Minor changes:
5950
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5951
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5952
      This should not affect current users.
5953
 
5954
    * Mugfile generation
5955
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5956
      specified.
5957
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5958

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5961
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5962
Major changes:
5963
    MOS Toolset
5964
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5965
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5966
 
5967
Minor changes:
5968
    * Jats wrapper script
5969
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5970
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5971
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5972
 
5973
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5974
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5975
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5976
      may be suspect.
5977
 
5978
    * GenerateFiles directive
5979
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5980
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5981
 
5982
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5983
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5984
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5985
Major changes:
5986
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5987
      build.xml files.
5988
 
5989
Minor changes:
5990
    * WIN32 toolset.
5991
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5992
 
5993
    * MakeAnt
5994
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5995
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5996
 
5997
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5998
 
5999
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6000
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6001
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6002
 
6003
    * MakeAnt directive
6004
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6005
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6006
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6007
 
6008
      Recommended usage:
6009
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6010
 
6011
Internal Changes
6012
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6013

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6017
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6018
Major changes:
6019
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6020
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6021
      files packaged into the release.
6022
 
6023
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6024

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6027
 
6028
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6029
      The recommended platform is:
6030
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6031
 
6032
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6033
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6034
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6035
      components.
6036
 
6037
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

6041
 
6042
Minor changes:
6043
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6044
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6045
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6046
      by the package to be accessed.
6047
 
6048
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6049
      application or visual studio.
6050
 
6051
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6052
      and the JATS Core path.
6053
 
6054
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6055
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6056
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6057
 
6058
    * MOS Toolset
6059
      Add support for the TPT device
6060
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6061
 
6062
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6063
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6064
 
6065
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6066
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6067
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6068
 
6069
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6070
 
6071
Internal Changes
6072
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6073
      in jats.pl
6074
 
6075
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6076
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6077
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6078
Major changes:
6079
    * JATS wrapper script
6080
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6081
 
6082
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6083
 
6084
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6085
 
6086
Minor changes:
6087
    * Deployment support
6088
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6089
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6090
 
6091
    * 'build'
6092
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6093
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6094
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6095
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6096
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6097
 
6098
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6099
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6100
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6101
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6102
                                      the link phase.
6103
 
6104
    * BuildPkgArchive
6105
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6106
      Previously these were ignored.
6107
      Minor code cleanup
6108
 
6109
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6110
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6111
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6112
 
6113
    * SOLARIS targets
6114
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6115
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6116
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6117
 
6118
    * MugFile generation
6119
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6120
      included in the final package.
6121
 
6122
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6123
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6124
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6125
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6126
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6127
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6128
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6129
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6130
 
6131
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6132
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6133
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6134
            --Option=(some_text)
6135
            --Option=[some_text]
6136
            --Option={some_text}
6137
 
6138
Internal Changes
6139
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6140
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6141
      code.
6142
 
6143
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6144
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6145
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6146
Major changes:
6147
    * JATS wrapper script
6148
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6149
 
6150
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6151
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6152
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6153
      other components.
6154
 
6155
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6156
 
6157
    * JATS
6158
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6159
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6160
 
6161
    * Build operations
6162
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6163
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6164
      packages.
6165
 
6166
    * Make operations
6167
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6168
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6169
 
6170
Minor changes:
6171
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6172
      deployment builds.
6173
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6174
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6175
 
6176
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6177
 
6178
    * build.pl
6179
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6180
        processed. Allows
6181
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6182
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6183
        production.
6184
 
6185
    * MOS toolset
6186
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6187
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6188
 
6189
    * create_dpkg utility
6190
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6191
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6192
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6193
      progress of the build.
6194
 
6195
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6196
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6197
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6198
      system.
6199
 
6200

6201
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6202
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6203
Major changes:
6204
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6205
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6206
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6207
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6208
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6209
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6210
 
6211
    * WCEX86A500 target
6212
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6213
 
6214
    * MOS Toolsets
6215
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6216
      the compiler.
6217
 
6218
    * RunTest directive
6219
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6220
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6221
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6222
 
6223
Minor changes:
6224
    * JATS BUILD
6225
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6226
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6227
      highlight bad settings.
6228
 
6229
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6230
      access to extensions.
6231
 
6232
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6233
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6234
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6235
Major changes:
6236
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6237
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6238
 
6239
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6240
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6241
      under unix.
6242
 
6243
Minor changes:
6244
    * label utility
6245
      Added options to:
6246
        o Delete a label
6247
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6248
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6249
 
6250
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6251
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6252
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6253
      Package directives.
6254
 
6255
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6256
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6257
      system.
6258
 
6259
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6260
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6262
Major changes:
6263
    * MOS Toolset
6264
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6265
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6266
 
6267
    * WIN32 Toolset
6268
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6269
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6270
      list.
6271
 
6272
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6273
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6274
 
6275
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6276
 
6277
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6278
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6279
 
6280
 
6281
Minor changes:
6282
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6283
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6284
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6285
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6286
      corrected.
6287
 
6288
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6289
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6290
 
6291
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6292
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6293
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6294

6296
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6297
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6298
Major changes:
6299
    * WIN32 Toolset
6300
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6301
      use with multithreaded modes.
6302
 
6303
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6304
      --OnlyProd.
6305
 
6306
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6307
      within the makefile.pl.
6308
 
6309
Minor changes:
6310
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6311
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6312
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6313
      platforms.
6314
 
6315
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6316
 
6317

6318
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6319
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6320
Major changes:
6321
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6322
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6323
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6324
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6325
 
6326
    * Preliminary Support
6327
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6328
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6329
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6330
 
6331
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6332
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6333
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6334
 
6335
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6336
      building. The default build will build both.
6337
 
6338
Minor changes:
6339
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6340
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6341
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6342
 
6343
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6344
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6345
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6346

6350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6351
Major changes:
6352
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6353
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6354
      or all.
6355
 
6356
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6357
      the library or program.
6358
 
6359
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6360
 
6361
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6362
      library or any debug files.
6363
 
6364
    * GenerateFiles
6365
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6366
 
6367
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6368
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6369
 
6370
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6371
              The filename of the prereq file
6372
 
6373
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6374
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6375
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6376
 
6377
 
6378
Minor changes:
6379
    * create_dpkg utility
6380
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6381
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6382
      the package has been altered.
6383

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6387
Major changes:
6388
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6389
      This is a WINCE target
6390
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6391
 
6392
    * New toolset
6393
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6394
 
6395
    * Modified toolset
6396
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6397
 
6398
    * Modified toolset
6399
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6400
 
6401
Minor changes:
6402
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6403
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6404
 
6405
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6406
 
6407
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6408
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6409
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6410
 
6411
      The change allows the construct
6412
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6413
      to be replaced by the simpler
6414
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6415
 
6416
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6417
      specified name.

6437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6438
Major changes:
6439
    * The "package.pl" file.
6440
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6441
      package name being taken from the build name
6442
 
6443
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6444
      package Build Name.
6445
 
6446
Minor changes:
6447
    * create_dpkg utility
6448
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
6449
 
6450

6453
Major changes:
6454
 
6455
Minor changes:
6456
    * Dependancy generator
6457
      Correct two common situations
6458
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6459
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6460
           ansi, but is often done.
6461
 
6462
    * GCC toolset
6463
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6464
      being created in the correct place.
6465
 
6466
    * jats "label"
6467
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6468
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6469
 
6470
 
6471
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6472
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6473
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6474
Major changes:
6475
 
6476
Minor changes:
6477
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6478
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6479
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6480
 
6481
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6482
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6483
 
6484
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6485
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6486
      package was not being transferred.
6487
 
6488
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6489
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6490
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6491
Major changes:
6492
    * Support for solaris_i386
6493
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6494
      binaries for this target.
6495
 
6496
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6497
      with the GCC compiler.
6498
 
6499
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6500
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6501
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6502
 
6503
Minor changes:
6504
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6505
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6506
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6507
 
6508
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6509
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6510
 
6511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6512
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6513
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6514
Major changes:
6515
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6516
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6517
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6518
 
6519
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6520
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6521
 
6522
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6523
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6524
      with either " or ' characters.
6525
 
6526
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6527
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6528
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6529
 
6530
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6531
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6532
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6533
 
6534
    * Jats wrapper
6535
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6536
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6537
      further commands.
6538
 
6539
Minor changes:
6540
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6541
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6542
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6543
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6544
 
6545
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6546
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6548
Major changes:
6549
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6550
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6551
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6552
 
6553
      These options operation affect all components within the
6554
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6555
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6556
 
6557
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6558
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6559
 
6560
Minor changes:
6561
 
6562
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6563
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6564
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6565
Major changes:
6566
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6567
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6568
 
6569
Minor changes:
6570
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6571
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6572
 
6573
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6574
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6575
 
6576
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6577
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6578
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6579
Major changes:
6580
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6581
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6582
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6583
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6584
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6585
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6586
      installed.
6587
 
6588
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6589
      libraries that depend on each other.
6590
 
6591
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6592
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6593
 
6594
Minor changes:
6595
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6596
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6597
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6598
 
6599
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6600
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6601
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6602
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6603
 
6604
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6605
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6606
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6607
Major changes:
6608
 
6609
Minor changes:
6610
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6611
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6612
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6613
      file.
6614
 
6615
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6616
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6617
 
6618
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6619
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6620
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6621
 
6622
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6623
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6624
 
6625
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6626
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6627
 
6628
    * WinCE toolsets
6629
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6630
      compiler specific libraries.
6631
 
6632
    * SOLARIS toolset
6633
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6634
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6635
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6636
 
6637
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6638
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6639
      cleaned up.
6640
 
6641
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6642
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6643
 
6644
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6645
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6646
      with either " or ' characters.
6647
 
6648

6651
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6652
Major changes:
6653
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6654
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6655
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6656
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6657
 
6658
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6659
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6660
 
6661
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6662
      user.
6663
 
6664
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6665
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6666
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6667
 
6668
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6669
      for the   -Gf option.
6670
 
6671
Minor changes:
6672
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6673
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6674
 
6675
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6676
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6677
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6678
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6679
 
6680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6681
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6683
Major changes:
6684
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6685
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6686
 
6687
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6688
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6689
      data addresses for the board.
6690
 
6691
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6692
 
6693
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6694
 
6695
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6696
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6697
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6698
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6699
         PackageFile
6700
 
6701
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6702
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6703
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6704
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6705
 
6706
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6707
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6708
      to be installed and packaged.
6709
 
6710
Minor changes:
6711
 
6712
    * cache_dpkg utility
6713
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6714
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6715
 
6716
    * label utility
6717
      New option -auto to create and label
6718
 
6719
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6720
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6721
 
6722
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6723
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6724
      directory. ie:
6725
 
6726
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6727
 
6728
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6729
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6730
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6731

Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6736
Major changes:
6737
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6738
 
6739
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6740
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6741
 
6742
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6743
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6744
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6745
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6746
 
6747
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6748
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6749
      compilation.
6750
 
6751
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6752
 
6753
Minor changes:
6754
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6755
      one is being produced.
6756
 
6757
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6758
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6759
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6760
 
6761
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6762
 
6763
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6764
 
6765
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6766
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6767
 
6768
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6769
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6770
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6771
Major changes:
6772
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6773
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6774
 
6775
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6776
 
6777
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6778
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6779
      same directory
6780
 
6781
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6782
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6783
      documenattion.
6784
 
6785
Minor changes:
6786
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6787
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6788
 
6789
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6790
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6791
 
6792
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6793
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6794
 
6795
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6796
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6797
 
6798
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6799
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6800
      be exempt from this test.
6801
 
6802
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6803
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6804
 
6805
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6806
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6807
 
6808
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6809
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6810
      does.
6811
 
6812
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6813
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6814

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6817
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6819
Major changes:
6820
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6821
 
6822
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6823
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6824
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6825
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6826
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6827
 
6828
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6829
      operations.
6830
 
6831
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6832
 
6833
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6834
 
6835
Minor changes
6836
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6837
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6838
 
6839
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6840
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6841
      directory is not added to the library path.
6842
 
6843
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6844
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6845
 
6846
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6847
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6848
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6849
 
6850
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6851
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6852
      specific flags.
6853
 
6854
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6855
 
6856
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6857
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6858
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6859
 
6860
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6861
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6862
      JATS.
6863
 
6864
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6865
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6866
 
6867
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6868
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6869
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6870
 
6871
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6872
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6873
 
6874
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6875
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6876
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6877
 
6878
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6879
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6880
 
6881
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6882
 
6883
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6884
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6885
 
6886
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6887
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6888
      objects.
6889
 
6890
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6891
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6892
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6893
      build defendants.
