Minor changes:
23
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
24
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
25
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
26
 
27
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
28
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
29
 
30
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
31
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
32
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
33
 
34
    * Jats Internal: Database access

      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
370
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
371
      Subversion instance of the command.
372
 
373
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
374
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
375
 
376
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
377
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
378
 
379
    * Utility: jats upddep
380
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
381
      file under windows.
382
 
383
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
384
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
385
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
386
 
387
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
388
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
389
 
390
    * GCC Toolchain
391
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

407
Major changes:
408
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
409
      Support for Intellect PAX.
410
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
411
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
412
 
413
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
414
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

424
Minor changes:
425
    * Utility: jats sandbox
426
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
427
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
428
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
429
      line.
430
 
431
    * Jats Configuration
432
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
433
 
434
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
435
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
436
      and Linux.
437
 
438
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
439
      correctly rippled.

444
Major changes:
445
 
446
Minor changes:
447
    * Jats Core
448
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
449
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
450
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
451
 
452
    * Utility: svnsave_build
453
      Used only by the build daemons.
454
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
455
 
456
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
457
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
458
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

463
Major changes:
464
 
465
Minor changes:
466
    * svnrelease utility
467
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
468
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
469
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
470
 
471
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
472
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
473
      the named tag.
474
 
475
    * svnrelease utility
476
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
477
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
488
        covered by the makefile.
489
 
490
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
491
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
492
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
493
 
494
    * ALL Toolsets
495
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
496
 
497
    * Utility vcsdiff
498
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
499
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
500
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
510
      directory of the tag.
511
 
512
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
513
      repository.
514
 
515
    * Subversion Support
516
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
517
      showing the user what to do.
518
 
519
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
520
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
521
      we have build support for this target.
522
 
523
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
524
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
525
 
526
Internal:
527
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
528
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
529
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
530
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Major changes:

Minor changes:
547
    * Makefile generation
548
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
549
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
550
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
551
      of warnings.
552
 
553
    * Makefile Generation
554
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
555

------------------------------------------------------------------------
563
Major changes:
564
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
565
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
566
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
567
      these operations with a dedicated program.
568
 
569
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
570
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
571
      windows path scheme.
572
 
573
Minor changes:
574
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
575
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
576
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
577
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
578
 
579
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
580
        jats make clobber
581
      This operates as before.
582
 
583
    * Utility: escrow
584
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
585
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
586
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
587
 
588
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
589
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
590
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
591
 
592
    * Utility: svn : url
593
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
594
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
595
 
596
    * Utility: svn : import
597
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
598
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
599
 
600
    * Subversion Support
601
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
602
      showing the user what to do.
603
 
604
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
605
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
606
      repositories.

    * Jats build
614
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
615
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
616
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
617
 
618
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 619
      command, with a sandbox.

        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
631
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
632
                 Can also display available branches.

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
640
 
641
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
642
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
643
      Modified two options:
644
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
645
                        The named branch must not exist
646
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
647
                        The named branch must exist
648
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

699
Major changes:
700
    * Subversion support
701
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
702
      SubVersion. Changes include:
703
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
704
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
705
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
706
 
707
Minor changes:
708
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
709
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
710
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
711
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
712
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
713
 
714
    * Utility: svnsave_build
715
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
716
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
717
 
718
    * Linux support utilities
719
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
720
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
721
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

726
Major changes:
727
    * Subversion Repository location
728
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
729
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
730
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
731
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
732
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
733
 
734
Minor changes:
735
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
736
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
737
 
738
    * Utility: svnrelease
739
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
740
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
741
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
742
 
743
    * Utility: svnsave_build
744
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
745
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
746
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
747
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
748
 
749
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
750
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
751
 
752
    * Utility: sandbox
753
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
754
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
755
 
756
      Subcommand: populate
757
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
758
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
759
      sandbox.
760
 
761
    * Subversion Support
762
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
763
      repository is not supported.
764
 
765
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
766
      a progress indication.
767
 
768

Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 822
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 823

850
Major changes:
851
 
852
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
853
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
854
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
855
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
856
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
857
 
858
    * C# Toolchain
859
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

869
 
870
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
871
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
872
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
873
 
874
    * Utility ccrelease
875
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
876
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
877
 
878
    * Utility: svn
879
      Improved package import processing.
880
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
881
 
882

907
------------------------------------------------------------------------
908
Major changes:
909
 
910
Minor changes:
911
    * Command: jats clobber
912
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
913
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
914
 
915
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
916
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
917
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
918
 
919
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
920
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
921
 
377 dpurdie 922
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
923
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
924
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 925
 
926
    * jats svnlabel
927
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
928
 
929
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
930
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
931
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
932
 
933
    * Built Daemon support
934
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
935
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
936

939
------------------------------------------------------------------------
940
Major changes:
941
    * GCC Toolset
942
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
943
      New methodology is:
944
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
945
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
946
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
947
        as the main binary.
948
 
949
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
950
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
951
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
952
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
953
      both worlds.
954
 
955
Minor changes:
956
    * HTML Documentation
957
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.

967
Major changes:
968
    * Jats Sandbox
969
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
970
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
971
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
972
 
973
    * RIORDS Platform
974
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
975
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion

997
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
998
 
999
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1000
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1001
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1002
      a vob.
1003
 
1004
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

1084
 
1085
Minor changes:
1086
    * HTML Help
1087
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1088
 
1089
    * jats build -noforce
1090
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1091
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1092
      be forced.
1093
 
1094
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1095
 
1096
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1097
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1098
 
1099
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1100
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1101
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1102
 
1103
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1104
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1105
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1106
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1107
 
1108
    * Utility: svnrelease
1109
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1110
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1111
 
1112
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1113
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1114
 
1115
    * Utility: svn
1116
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1117
      installed and can be used.
1118
 
1119
    * Toolset: CSharp
1120
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1121
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1122
      character.
1123
 
1124
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1125
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1126
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1127
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1128
      masking an error.
1129
 
1130
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1131
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1132
      enhancement.
1133
 
1134
    * Toolset: dafbr
1135
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
1136
 
1137
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
1138
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1139
        - Return correct path to package
1140
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1141
 
1142
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1143
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1144
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1145
 
1146
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1147
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1148
      packages.
1149
 
1150
    * make command: show
1151
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1152
      'jats make show' command.
1153
 
1154
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1155
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1156
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1157
 
1158
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1159
      executed on Unix machines.

1388
 
1389
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
1390

Minor changes:
1520
    * Jats label command
1521
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1522
      Not recommended for general use.
1523
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1524
      directories within the current view.
1525
 
1526
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1527
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1528
      elsewhere.
1529
 
1530
    * Jats save_build
1531
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1532
      the determination of a branch.
1533
 
1534
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1535
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1536
 
1537
    * Jats build
1538
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1539
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1540
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1541
 
1542
    * Borland6 toolset
1543
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1544
      to match the documented install location of:
1545
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1546
 
1547
    * Jats build
1548
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1549
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1550
      This is a very quick operation.
1551
 
1552
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1553
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1554
 
1555
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1556
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1557
      files are only recreated if need be.
1558
 
1559
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1560
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1561
      make the package.
1562
 
1563
    * Jats sandbox
1564
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1565
 
1566
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1567
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1568
 
1569
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1570
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1571
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1572
      is performed.

1608
Major changes:
1609
 
1610
Minor changes:
1611
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1612
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1613
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1614
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1615
 
1616
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1617
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1618
 
1619
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1620
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1621
      platform builds.
1622
 
1623
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1624
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1625
      directory tree.
1626
 
1627
    * New command: jats man
1628
      Produces full help on a specified item.
1629

323 dpurdie 1639
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
1640
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1641
Major changes:
1642
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1643
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1644
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1645
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1646
 
1647
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1648
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1649
 
1650
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1651
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1652
 
1653
      Examples:
1654
            jats upddep -show
1655
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1656
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1657
 
1658
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1659
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1660
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1661
 
1662
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1663
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1664
 
1665
Minor changes:
1666
 
1667
Internal changes:
1668
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
1669

321 dpurdie 1672
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
1673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1674
Major changes:
1675
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1676
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1677
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1678
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1679
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1680
      stream.
1681
 
1682
      Example:
1683
 
1684
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1685
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1686
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1687
                     );
1688
Minor changes:
1689
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1690
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1691
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1692
      directive.
1693
 
1694
    * GCC Toolkit
1695
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1696
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1697
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1698
      the point of termination.
1699
 
1700
    * Jats save_build utility
1701
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1702
      under windows.
1703
 
1704
    * Jats sandbox
1705
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1706
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1707
      in different sandboxes.
1708
 
1709
    * Jats release
1710
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1711

1717
Minor changes:
1718
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1719
      Added -locatedir=name
1720
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1721
      directory.
1722
 
1723
    * jats label utility
1724
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1725
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1726
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1727
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1728
 
1729
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1730

317 dpurdie 1735
 
1736
Minor changes:
1737
    * WinCe Toolsets
1738
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1739
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1740
        noExceptions            - Disable
1741
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1742
      Example:
1743
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1744
 
1745
    * Solaris targets
1746
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1747
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1748
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1749
      machine type.
1750

1752
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1753
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1754
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1755
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1756
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1757
      project files.
1758
 
1759
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1760
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1761
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1762
 
1763
Minor changes:
1764
    * Added more internal documentation
1765
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1766
 
1767
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1768
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1769
 
1770
    * Jats save_build utility
1771
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1772
      under windows.
1773
 
1774
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1775
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1776
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1777
      libraries.
1778
 
1779
    * Solaris builds
1780
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1781
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1782
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1783
      of the build failure.
1784
 
1785
 
1786
Internal changes:
1787
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1788
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1789
 
1790
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1791
      PkgArchive topics.

1795
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1796
Major changes:
1797
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1798
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1799
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1800
      existing 32-bit builds.
1801
 
1802
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1803
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1804
 
1805
Minor changes:
1806
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1807
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1808
 
1809
    * Package searching
1810
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1811
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1812
 
1813
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1814
 
1815
    * jats help
1816
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1817
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1818
 
1819
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1820
      with one of:
1821
        jats -h
1822
        jats help jats
1823
 
1824
Internal:
1825
    * cmdfile utility
1826
      Added macros:
1827
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1828
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1829
 
1830
      Corrected
1831
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1832
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1833
 
1834
      Extended
1835
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1836
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1837
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1838
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Internal changes
1848
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1849
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1850
      Useful side effects include:
1851
 
1852
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1853
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1854
 
1855
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1856
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1857
 
1858
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1859
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1860
        BuildPkgArchive
1861
 
313 dpurdie 1862
    * Perl Modules
1863
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1864
      release. This will:
1865
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1866
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1867
          reported by ERG.
1868
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1877
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1878
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1879
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1880
 
1881
    * Jats label utility
1882
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1883
 
1884
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1885
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1886
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1887
 
1888
    * Jats core
1889
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1890
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1891
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1900
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1901
      This is now fixed.
1902
 
309 dpurdie 1903
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1904
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1905
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1906
 
1907
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1908

    * Generating makefiles
1917
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1918
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1919
      an error.
1920
 
1921
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1922
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1923
 
1924
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1925

1932
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1933
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1934
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1935
 
1936
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1937
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1938
 
1939
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1940
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1941
      Support includes
1942
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1943
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1944
 
1945
Minor changes:
1946
    * Build file processing
1947
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1948
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1949
 
1950
    * MOS builds
1951
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address

        .
1963
 
1964
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1965
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1966
 
1967
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1968
      to the output stream.
1969
 
1970
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1971
 
1972
    * Windows Shell
1973
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1974
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1975
 
1976
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1977
 
1978
    * H8S toolset
1979
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1980
 
1981

      Changes are transparent to users.
2010
 
2011
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2012
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2013
      this occurs.
2014
 
2015
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2016
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2017
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2018
      automated build framework.
2019
 
2020
    * jats sandbox command
2021
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2097
Major changes:
2098
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2099
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2100
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2101
 
2102
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2103
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2104
 
2105
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2106
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2107
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2108
           names cannot be changed.
2109
 
2110
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2111
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2112
 
2113
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2114
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2115
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2116
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2117
 
2118
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2119
      file.
2120
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2121
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2122
      MyPackage.dpk.
2123
 
2124
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2125
      file.
2126
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2127
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2128
      MyDll.dpr.
2129
 
2130
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2131
      file.
2132
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2133
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2134
      MyProg.dpr.
2135
 
2136
Minor changes:
2137
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2138
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2139
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2140
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2141
 
2142
    * BuildVersion directive
2143
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2144
      in a Delphi Unit.
2145
 
2146
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2147
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2148
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2149
      'know' the location of the files.
2150
 
2151
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2152
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2153
 
2154
Internal Changes:
2155
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2156
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2157
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2158
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2159
 
2160
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2161
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2162
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
2163

287 dpurdie 2165
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2166
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2167
Major changes:
2168
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2169
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2170
      information for purely C++ builds.
2171
 
289 dpurdie 2172
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2173
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2174
 
289 dpurdie 2175
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2176
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2177
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2178
 
2179
Minor changes:
2180
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2181
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2182
 
2183
    * updatenodespec utility
2184
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2185
      Manager database.

2208
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
2209
 
2210
Minor changes:
2211
    * MergeLibrary directive
2212
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
2213
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
2214

Minor changes:
2222
    * New command: jats make show
2223
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2224
      used in the build.
2225
 
2226
    * Escrow command
2227
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2228
 
2229
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2230
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2231
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2232
 
2233
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2234
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2235
 
2236

277 dpurdie 2238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2239
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2240
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2241
 
279 dpurdie 2242
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2243
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2244
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2245
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2246
 
2247
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2248
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2249
 
2250
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2251
 
2252
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2253
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2254
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2255
 
2256
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2257
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2258
        processed.
2259
 
2260
      Removed the '-delete' option
2261
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2262
 
277 dpurdie 2263
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2264
    * Sandbox command
2265
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2266
 
2267
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2268
      target from consideration in the build set.
2269
 
2270
    * MCR Toolset
2271
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2272
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2273
 
2274
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2275
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2276
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2277
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2278
 
2279
    * Jats run_test command
2280
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2281
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2282
 
2283
    * descpkg file
2284
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2285
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2286
 
2287
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2288
     Now contains build trace information
2289
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2290
 
2291
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2292
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2293
     it contains 'jar' files.
2294
 
2295
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2296
 
2297
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2298
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2299
 
2300
   * BuildVersion directive
2301
     Form:
2302
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2303
     now works as expected.
2304
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2305
 
2306
Internal Changes:
2307
 
2308
    * Error reporting mechanism
2309
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2310
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2311
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
2321
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
2322
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
2323
    then starts.
2324
 
2325
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2326
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2327
 
2328
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2329
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2330
    non-platform option.
2331
 
279 dpurdie 2332
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

Version:  2.76.0000.cr                               Released: 24-Jun-08
2741
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2742
Major changes:
2743
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
2744
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2745
 
2746
      New platforms:
2747
        CSHARP2005
2748
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2749
         Support extends to allow:
2750
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2751
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2752
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2753
 
2754
        VS2005
2755
         Support extends to allow:
2756
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2757
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2758
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2759
 
2760
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2761
      through a version selector:
2762
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2763
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2764
 
2765
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2766
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2767
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2768
 
2769
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2770
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2771
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2772
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2773
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2774
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2775
          under VS2005.
2776
 
2777
Minor changes:
2778
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
2779
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
2780
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
2781
 
2782
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2783
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2784
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2785
 
2786
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2787
 
2788
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2789
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2790
 
2791
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2792
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2793
      a minimal value of perl.
2794
 
2795
      Removed excessive require statements.
2796
 
2797
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2798
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2799
      Include JATS specific files for
2800
        1) Windows
2801
        2) Linux
2802
 
2803
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2804
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2805
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2806
      machines.
2807
 
2808
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2809
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2810
 
2811
    * JATS Environment
2812
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2813
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2814
 
2815
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2816
      wrapper scripts.
2817
 
2818
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2819
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2820
      Spell check help and code.

2873
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2874
  * New toolset and platform
2875
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2876
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2877
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2878
    this platform.
2879
 
2880
Minor changes:
2881
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2882
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2883
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2884
    work.
2885
 
2886
  * Jats utility: release
2887
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2888
    published to dpkg_archive.
2889
 
249 dpurdie 2890
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2891
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2892
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2893
    supported for ANT builds.
2894
 
2895
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2896
        releasemanager.releasename
2897
        releasemanager.projectname
2898
 
2899
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2900
    tagged data item of the form
2901
 
2902
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2903
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2904
 
2905
  * Mug File Generation
2906
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2907
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2908
 
2909
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2910
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2911
    required.
2912
 
2913
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2914
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2915
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2916
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2917
    the files in order to use them.
2918
 
2919
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2920
    locate the file.
2921
 
2922
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2923
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2924
 
2925
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2926
        * CSharp
2927
        * Properties
2928
        * WinRC
2929
 
2930
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2931
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2932
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2933
    Value is correctly assigned.
2934

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2938
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2939
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2940
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2941
 
2942
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2943
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2944
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2945
 
2946
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2947
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2948
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2949
 
2950
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2951
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2952
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2953
 
2954
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2955
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2956
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2957
    correct.
2958
 
2959
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2960
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2961
 
2962
Minor changes:
2963
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2964
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2965
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2966
 
2967
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2968
    This will simplify new user setup.
2969
 
2970
  * All Unix Toolsets
2971
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2972
    on unix systems
2973
 
2974
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2975
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2976
    on some Solaris Machines.
2977
 
2978
  * JATS -version=<version>
2979
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2980
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

3028
    mode.
3029
 
3030
  * JATS makefiles
3031
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3032
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3033
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3034
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3035
                            SetList directive.
3036
 
3037

3046
  * JATS buildfile processing
3047
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
3048
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
3049
    of JATS.
3050

231 dpurdie 3133
Minor changes:
235 dpurdie 3134
    * Extract/Release utility.
3135
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
3136
      that can handle spaces
3137
 
3138
    * MOS Compiler
3139
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3140
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3141
 
3142
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3143
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3144
      descpkg files to be copied.
3145
 
3146
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
3147
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
3148
 
3149
    * JATS ANT command
3150
      Better selection of the ant build file
3151
 
3152
    * Build directive: BuildVersion
3153
      Extended the WinRc version file to allow the name of an icon to be
3154
      embedded in the .RC file.

3165
      <project> field.
3166
 
3167
    * CCdiff utility
3168
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
3169
 
3170
    * Escrow utility
3171
      Quote 'path' in the generated extraction commands
3172
      Allow escrow to be based on a single Release Manager package

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3182
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3183
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3184
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3185
 
3186
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3187
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3188
 
3189
    * Jats wrapper
3190
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3191
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3192

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3196
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3197
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3198
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3199
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3200
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3201
 
3202
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3203
 
3204
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3205
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3206
 
3207
    * Running Jats
3208
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3209
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3210
      This may affect some windows developers.
3211
 
3212
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3213
      Future versions will generate an error.
3214
 
3215
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3216
 
3217
Minor changes:
3218
    * Perl Version Check
3219
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3220
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3221
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3222
 
3223
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3224
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3225
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3226
      build.
3227
 
3228
    * Jats Internals
3229
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3230
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3231
 
3232
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3233
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3234
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3235
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3236
      process.
3237
 
3238
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3239
      Only works under Windows.
3240
 
3241
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3242
 
3243
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3244
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3245
 
3246
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3247
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3248
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3249
 
3250
    * Jats eprog
3251
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3252
      directory.
3253
 
3254
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3255
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3256
      build metrics.
3257
 
3258

3260
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3261
Major changes:
3262
 
3263
Minor changes:
3264
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3265
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3266
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3267
      automated build system. New options are:
3268
        -pname=Package_Name
3269
        -pversion=Package_Version
3270
 
3271
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3272
      transferring the package. New options are:
3273
        -test
3274
 
3275
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3276
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3277
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3278
 
3279
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3280
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3281
 
3282
    * Solaris Toolset
3283
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3284
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3285
      programs are still supported.

3289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3290
Major changes:
3291
 
3292
Minor changes:
3293
    * WINCE toolsets
3294
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3295
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3296
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3297
      when header files cannot be found.
3298
 
3299
    * GenerateFiles directive
3300
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3301
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3302
      that are difficult to solve.
3303
 
3304
    * MakePerlModule directive
3305
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3306
      to the the module builder.
3307
 
3308
    * Jats Tool: label
3309
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3310
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3311
      -dirs=xxx options.
3312
 
3313
    * Jats Tool: release
3314
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3315
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3316
 
3317
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3318
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3319
 
3320
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3321
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3322
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3323
 
3324
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3330
Major changes:
3331
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3332
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3333
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3334
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3335
 
3336
Minor changes:
3337
    * label utility
3338
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3339
 
3340
    * make package and install operations
3341
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3342
      transfer.
3343
 
3344
    * make clean up
3345
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3346
 
3347
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3348
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3349
      minor file transformations such as:
3350
        Copy, with optional rename
3351
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3352
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3353
 
3354
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3355
 
3356
    * jats release utility
3357
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3358
      in place.
3359
 
3360
    * escrow utility
3361
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3362
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
3370
    * Makefile generation
3371
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3372
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3373
      generate phase early.

3378
Major changes:
3379
 
3380
Minor changes:
3381
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3382
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3383
 
3384
    * Makefile generation
3385
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3386
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3387
 
3388
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3389
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3390
 
3391
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3392
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3393
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3394
 
3395
    * jats_rewrite utility
3396
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3397
 
3398
    * jats escrow utility
3399
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3400
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3401
 
3402
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3403
      inconsistent packages.
3404
 
3405
    * jats make help
3406
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3407
      available within the current build.
3408
 
3409
    * jats makefiles
3410
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3411
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3412
 
3413
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3414
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3415
 
3416
    * gcc toolset
3417
      SharedLibries.
3418
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3419
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3420
 
3421
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3422
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3423
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3424
 
3425
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3426
        New options:
3427
            --MultiScan
3428
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3429
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3430
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3436
Major changes:
3437
 
3438
Minor changes:
3439
    PackageLib directive
3440
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3441
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3442
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3443
 
3444
    MakefileGenerate directive
3445
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3446
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3447
 
3448
    Multiple Parent detection
3449
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3450
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3451
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3452
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3453
 
3454
    Solaris Toolset
3455
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3456
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3457
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3458
    link.
3459
 
3460
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3461
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3462
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3463
 
3464
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3465
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3466
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3467
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3472
Major changes:
3473
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3474
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3475
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3476
 
3477
    Summary of changes:
3478
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3479
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3480
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3481
          flexibility.
3482
 
3483
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3484
 
3485
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3486
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3487
          interface directory and associated build information.
3488
 
3489
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3490
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3491
          than one second.
3492
 
3493
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3494
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3495
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3496
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3497
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3498
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3499
 
3500
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3501
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3502
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3503
 
3504
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3505
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3506
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3507
          building them.
3508
 
3509
        - Detection of build file changes
3510
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3511
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3512
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3513
 
3514
        - Quieter make output
3515
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3516
 
3517
 
3518
Minor changes:
3519
    MakeAnt Directive
3520
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3521
 
3522
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3523
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3524
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3525
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3526
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3527
 
3528
    CSHARP toolset

Minor changes:
3537
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3538
    are generated.
3539
 
3540
    MakeAnt
3541
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3542
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3543
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3544
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3545
 
3546
    MCR platform
3547
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.
3548
    This is a MOS binary and can be download to the MCR devices.

Minor changes:
3556
    MakeAnt directive extended
3557
    New option: --PackageBase
3558
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3559
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3560
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3561
 
3562
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3563
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3564
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3565
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
3585
 
3586
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3587
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3588
 
3589
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3590
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3591
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3592
 
3593
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3594
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3595
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3596
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

3623
Minor changes:
3624
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3625
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3626
 
3627
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3628
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3629
      last.
3630
 
3631
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3632
 
3633
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3634
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3635
 
3636
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3637
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3638
 
3639
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3640
 
3641
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3642
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3643
 
3644
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3645
 
3646
 
3647
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3648
           with the --System option
3649
 
3650
    * LMOS target platform
3651
      Includes LINUX_ETX

3656
Major changes:
3657
 
3658
Minor changes:
3659
    * Solaris Toolset
3660
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3661
      dependent packages.
3662
 
3663
    * RunTest operation
3664
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3665
 
3666
    * Csharp toolkit
3667
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
3668

3670
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
3671
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3672
Major changes:
3673
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3674
 
3675
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3676
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3677
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3678
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3679
      path.
3680
 
3681
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3682
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3683
      reproducible.
3684
 
3685
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3686
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3687
 
3688
      There are several aspects to the change
3689
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3690
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3691
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3692
 
3693
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3694
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3695
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3696
          controlled separately.
3697
 
3698
Minor changes:
3699
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3700
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3701
        Remove duplicates
3702
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3703

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3706
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3707
Major changes:
3708
 
3709
Minor changes:
3710
    * Makefile sanity test
3711
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3712
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3713
 
3714
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3715
      x86 machine.
3716
 
3717
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3718
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3719
 
3720
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3721
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3722
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3723
Major changes:
3724
    * RunTest directive
3725
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3726
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3727
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3728
 
3729
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3730
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3731
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3732
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3733
 
3734
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3735
        builder within the current toolset.
3736
 
3737
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3738
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3739
 
3740
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3741
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3742
      containing the RunTest directive.
3743
 
3744
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3745
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3746
 
3747
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3748
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3749
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3750
 
3751
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3752
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3753
                            P or D suffix.
3754
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3755
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3756
 
3757
Minor changes:
3758
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3759
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3760
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3761
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3762
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3763
 
3764
    * Save Build Utility
3765
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3766
      used in a ripple build.
3767
 
3768
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3769
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3770
 
3771
    * Release Utility
3772
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3773
      when an error is encountered.
3774
 
3775
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3776
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3777
 
3778
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3779
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3780
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3781
 
3782
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3783
      before the makefiles are created.
3784
 
3785
    * TestProg directive
3786
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3787
 
3788
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3789
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3790

3794
Major changes:
3795
    * New build target
3796
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3797
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3798
 
3799
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3800
            DEVLINUX
3801
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3802
 
3803
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3804
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3805
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3806
 
3807
Minor changes:
3808
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3809
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3810
 
3811
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3812
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3813
 
3814
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3815
      and .cs files.
3816
 
3817
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3818
      thing.
3819
 
3820
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3821
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3822
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3823
      were it places temp files.
3824
 
3825
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3826
      interaction with other builds.
3827
 
3828
    * Release utility command
3829
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3830
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3831
      component in the clearcase tag name.

3918
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3920
Major changes:
3921
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3922
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3923
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3924
 
3925
  * GenerateFiles
3926
    Added the options:
3927
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3928
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3929
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3930
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3931
 
3932
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3933
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3934
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3935
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3936
                                  required.
3937
 
3938
 
3939
Minor changes:
3940
  * GenerateFile directive
3941
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3942
 
3943
  * GCC Toolset
3944
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3945
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3946
    be rebuilt.
3947
 
3948
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3949
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3950
 
3951
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3952
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3953
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3954
Major changes:
3955
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3956
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3957
    environment variables.
3958
 
3959
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3960
            moved.
3961
 
3962
    This will affect users that:
3963
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3964
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3965
 
3966
        2) Use the ABT system
3967
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3968
           the required configuration
3969
 
3970
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3971
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3972
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3973
    Windows
3974
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3975
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3976
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3977
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3978
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3979
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3980
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3981
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3982
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3983
 
3984
 
3985
  * New build platforms
3986
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3987
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3988
 
3989
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3990
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3991
 
3992
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3993
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3994
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3995
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3996
 
3997
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3998
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3999
    release.
4000
 
4001
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4002
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4003
 
4004
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4005
    need to be converted.
4006
 
4007
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4008
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4009
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4010
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4011
    used for different targets platforms.
4012
 
4013
  * Sandbox support
4014
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4015
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4016
 
4017
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4018
 
4019
Minor changes:
4020
 
4021
 
4022
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4023
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4024
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4025
Major changes:
4026
  * MakeAnt directive
4027
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4028
 
4029
    New options
4030
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4031
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4032
 
4033
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4034
    run_unit_tests phase.
4035
 
4036
  * Sandbox support
4037
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4038
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4039
 
4040
Minor changes:
4041
  * jats build
4042
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4043
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4044
 
4045
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4046
 
4047
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4048
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4049
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4050
 
4051
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4052
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4053
 
4054
  * JATS.BAT
4055
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4056
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4057
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4058
 
4059
  * jats label
4060
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4061
 
4062
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4063
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4065
Major changes:
4066
  * New build platform:
4067
        LMOS_TP5600
4068
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4069
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4070
 
4071
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4072
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4073
    describe the group of platforms.
4074
 
4075
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4076
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4077
    build these targets.
4078
 
4079
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4080
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4081
 
4082
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4083
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4084
 
4085
  * New build platform: WINCE
4086
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4087
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4088
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4089
 
4090
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4091
            WCEIT3000
4092
            WCEPA961
4093
            WCEPA962
4094
            WCEPCM7220
4095
            WCEPSION_420
4096
            WCEPSPC_arm
4097
            WCEPSPC_emu
4098
            WCEX86A420
4099
            WCEX86A500
4100
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4101
 
4102
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4103
 
4104
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4105
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4106
    that contain packaging directives.
4107
 
4108
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4109
    very unusual configurations.
4110
 
4111
Minor changes:
4112
  * Directive: PackageFile
4113
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4114
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4115
    an '='.
4116
 
4117
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4118
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4119
 
4120
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4121
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4122
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4123
 
4124
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4125
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4126
 
4127
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4128
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4129
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4130
Major changes:
4131
 
4132
  * JATS release command
4133
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4134
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4135
 
4136
    Rules are:
4137
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4138
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4139
                            File will be placed on a branch
4140
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4141
                            New directory will branch
4142
 
4143
Minor changes:
4144
  * JATS release command
4145
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4146
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4147
 
4148
  * JATS label command
4149
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4150
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4151
 
4152
  * JATS make
4153
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4154
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4155
    was re-packaged.
4156
 
4157
  * JATS escrow
4158
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4159
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4160
 
4161
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4162
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4163
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4164
 
4165
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4166
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4167
    interface directory.
4168
 
4169
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4170
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4171
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4172
    directory as seen by the package.
4173
 
4174
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4175
 
4176
  * JAVA 6
4177
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4178
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4179
 
4180
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4181
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4182
 
4183
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4184
 
4185
  * Jats command: vars
4186
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4187
    These indicate potential problems.
4188
 
4189
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4190
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4191
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4192
Major changes:
4193
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4194
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4195
    libarry is also created.
4196
 
4197
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4198
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4199
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4200
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4201
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4202
    information contained within the file.
4203
 
4204
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4205
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4206
 
4207
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4208
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4209
 
4210
  * Building Perl Modules
4211
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4212
    documentation on the build machine.
4213
 
4214
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4215
 
4216
Minor changes:
4217
  * jats create_dpkg
4218
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4219
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4220
 
4221
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4222
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4224
Major changes:
4225
  * JATS JAVA build target
4226
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4227
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4228
 
4229
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4230
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4231
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4232
    is then picked up as the default version.
4233
 
4234
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4235
    build.pl file.
4236
 
4237
Minor changes:
4238
  * jats release
4239
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4240
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4241
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4242
 
4243
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4244
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4245
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4246
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4247
    the name of the view.
4248
 
4249
  * GenerateFiles directive
4250
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4251
 
4252
  * MOS Toolset
4253
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4254
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4255
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4256
 
4257
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4258
 
4259
 
4260
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4261
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4262
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4263
Major changes:
4264
 
4265
Minor changes:
4266
  * JATS environment
4267
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4268
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4269
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4270
 
4271
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4272
 
4273
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4274
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4275
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4276
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4277
    to be packaged.
4278
 
4279
  * Generated makefiles
4280
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4281
 
4282
  * Generating MOS THX files
4283
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4284
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4285
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4286
 
4287
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4288
 
4289
  * JATS release
4290
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4291
 
4292
  * JATS extract
4293
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4294
 
4295
  * JATS Toolset
4296
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4297
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4298
 
4299

4302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4303
Major changes:
4304
 
4305
Minor changes:
4306
  * jats label
4307
    Added a -vob=name option
4308
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4309
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4310
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4311
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4312
 
4313
    Added a -user=name option
4314
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4315
    label to the named user.
4316
 
4317
  * jats release
4318
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4319
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4320
 
4321
  * JATS build.pl
4322
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4323
    ie:
4324
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

4328
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4329
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4330
Major changes:
4331
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4332
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4333
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4334
    the makefile internals. ie:
4335
        --Var(BuildName)
4336
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4337
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4338
 
4339
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4340
 
4341
  * GenerateFiles
4342
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4343
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4344
 
4345
  * BuildPlatforms
4346
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4347
 
4348
Minor changes:
4349
  * GCC Toolset
4350
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4351
 
4352
Internal changes:
4353
  * GenerateFiles
4354
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4355
 
4356
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4357
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4358
 
4359
 
4360
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4361
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4363
Major changes:
4364
  * Caching JATS
4365
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4366
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4367
 
4368
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4369
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4370
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4371
 
4372
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4373
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4374
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4375
 
4376
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4377
 
4378
Minor changes:
4379
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4380
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4381
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4382
 
4383
  * jats build
4384
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4385
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4386
    processed by the build.
4387
 
4388
  * jats build
4389
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4390
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4391
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4392
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4393
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4394
 
4395
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4396
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4397
    Path is not specified.
4398
 
4399
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4400
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4401
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4402
        --Dir=$Pinc
4403
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4404
 
4405
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4406
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4407
    Windows platform.
4408
 
4409
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4410
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4411
            by 'purecov.
4412
 
4413
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4414
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4415
 
4416
        - OPTIONS=purify
4417
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4418
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4419
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4420

4424
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4425
Major changes:
4426
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4427
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4428
    Example:
4429
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4430
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4431
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4432
 
4433
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4434
    been determined.
4435
 
4436
Minor changes:
4437
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4438
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4439
    located at build-time.
4440
 
4441
  * Unix based systems
4442
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4443
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4444
 
4445
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4446
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4447
    driver being built.
4448
 
4449

  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
4462
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4463
 
4464
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4465
    dependancy information within a package.
4466
 
4467
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4468
    messages.

    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4478
 
4479
    GenerateFiles.
4480
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4481
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4482
                      be run on every invocation.
4483
 
4484
 
4485

4490
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4491
  There are two mechanism:
4492
 
4493
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4494
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4495
 
4496
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4497
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4498
 
4499
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4500
  default.

4508
  * SunWorks Toolset
4509
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4510
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4511
    It is based on machine type.
4512
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4513
 
4514
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4515
 
4516
Minor changes:
4517

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4544
 
4545
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4546
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4547
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4548
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4549
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4550
 
4551
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4552
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4553
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4554
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4555
 
4556
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4557
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
4569
 
4570
 
4571
Minor changes:
4572
  * JATS wrapper script
4573
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4574
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4575
    to setup links to system programs.
4576

        debug_debuginfo
4616
 
4617
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4618
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4619
    Theses are:
4620
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4621
        SOLARIS_AMD
4622
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4623
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4624
 
4625
Minor changes:
4626

4641
    messages
4642
 
4643
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4644
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4645
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4646
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4647

4652
 
4653
Minor changes:
4654
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4655
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4656
    library without creating the body of the library:
4657
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4658
 
4659
 
4660
  * MOS toolsets
4661
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4662
    library without creating the body of the library:
4663
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4664
 
4665
  * JATS BIN directories
4666
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4667
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4668
    using autoconf.
4669
 
4670
  * Generate directive
4671
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4672
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4673
 
4674
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.

  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4692
    Initial release.
4693
 
4694
  * Packaging directives
4695
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4696
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4697
 
4698
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4699
        SOLARIS
4700
        WIN32
4701
 
4702
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4703
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4704
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4705
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4706
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4707
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4708
 
4709
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4710
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4711
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4712
 
4713
 
4714
Minor changes:
4715
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4716
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4717
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4718
 
4719
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4720
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4721
    location
4722
 
4723
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4724
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4725
 
4726
  * Utility genrc
4727
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4728
 
4729
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4730
    Added option: -new
4731
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4732
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4733
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4734
 
4735
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4736
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4737
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4738
 
4739
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4740
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4741
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4742
 
4743
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4744
   features - in a uniform manner.
4745
 
4746
 
4747
Internal Changes:
4748
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4749
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4750
 
4751
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4752
        1) Platform information available at build time
4753
        2) Dynamic platform names
4754
 
4755
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4756
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4757
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4758
 
4759
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4760
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4761
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4762
 
4763
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4764
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4765
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4766
    needed.
4767
 
4768
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4769
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4770
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4771
    files from all of these.

4774
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
4775
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4776
Major changes:
4777
 
4778
Minor changes:
4779
  * WinCE toolset
4780
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4781
 
4782
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4783
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4784
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4785
Major changes:
4786
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4787
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4788
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4789
 
4790
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4791
 
4792
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4793
    the operations.
4794
 
4795
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4796
 
4797
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4798
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4799
 
4800
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4801
 
4802
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4803
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4804
 
4805
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4806
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4807
    Extended the built-in help
4808
    Added useful error messages
4809
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4810
 
4811
  * WinCE toolset
4812
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4813
 
4814
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4815
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4816
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4817
 
4818
Minor changes:
4819
  * JATS wrapper script
4820
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4821
    the command line.
4822
 
4823
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4824
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4825
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4826
 
4827
Internal Changes:
4828
  * Common Error Reporting
4829
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4830
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4831
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4832
    level.
4833
 
4834
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4835
    displayed.
4836
 
4837
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4838
 
4839
  * Added JatsSystem module
4840
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4841
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4842
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
4843
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4844
Major changes:
4845
 
4846
Minor changes:
4847
  * BR Compiler toolset
4848
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4849
    .def files to include other files.
4850
 
4851
  * IAR toolset
4852
    Added AT7272 support
4853
 
4854
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4855
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4856
 
4857
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4858
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4860
Major changes:
4861
 
4862
Minor changes:
4863
  * BR Compiler toolset
4864
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4865
    use.
4866
 
4867
 
4868
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4869
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4870
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4871
Major changes:
4872
 
4873
Minor changes:
4874
  * Mictotec toolset
4875
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4876
    builds.
4877
 
4878
  * JATS Core
4879
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4880
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4881
    behaviour.
4882
 
4883
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4884
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4885
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4886
Major changes:
4887
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4888
    Deployment package will be affected.
4889
 
4890
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4891
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4892
 
4893
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4894
 
4895
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4896
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4897
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4898
    packages.
4899
 
4900
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4901
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4902
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4903
 
4904
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4905
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4906
 
4907
Minor changes:
4908
  * SubDir directive
4909
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4910
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4911
 
4912
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4913
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4914
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4915
    of the file usage.
4916
 
4917
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4918
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4919
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4920
 
4921
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4922
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4923
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4924
 
4925
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4926
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4927
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4928
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4929
 
4930
 
4931
Internal Changes:
4932
  * Code refactor
4933
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4934
 
4935
  * Deployment utilities
4936
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4937
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4938
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4939
    the module can locate the file.
4940
 
4941
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4942
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4943
 
4944
  * JATS core
4945
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4946
 
4947
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4948
 
4949
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4950
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4951
    through the use of environment variables.
4952
 
4953
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4954
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4955
 
4956
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4957
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4958
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4959
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4960
 
4961
  * Make environment
4962
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4963
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4964
 
4965
 
4966
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4967
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4968
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4969
Major changes:
4970
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4971
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4972
 
4973
 
4974
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4975
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4976
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4977
 
4978
Not Released.
4979
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4980
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4981
 
4982
 
4983
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4984
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4986
Major changes:
4987
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4988
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4989
    radically replaced.
4990
 
4991
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4992
    Usage:
4993
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4994
 
4995
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4996
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4997
    this solution:
4998
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4999
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5000
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5001
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5002
 
5003
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5004
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5005
    order to work.
5006
 
5007
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5008
    reduced functionality.
5009
 
5010
 
5011
Minor changes:
5012
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5013
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5014
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5015
 
5016
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5017
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5018
    within the makefiles.
5019
        Options:
5020
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5021
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5022
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5023
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5024
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5025
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5026
        Useage:
5027
 
5028
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5029
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5030
 
5031
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5032
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5033
    is not in the current directory.
5034
 
5035
  * Jats Command: ant'
5036
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5037
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5038
 
5039
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5040
 
5041
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5042
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5043
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5044
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5045
 
5046
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5047
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5048
    Thus
5049
 
5050
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5051
 
5052
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5053
 
5054
 
5055
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5056
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5057
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5058
Major changes:
5059
 
5060
Minor changes:
5061
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5062
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5063
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5064
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5065
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5066
 
5067
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5068
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5069
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5070
 
5071
Internal changes:
5072
  * JATS toolsets
5073
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5074
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5075
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5076
 
5077
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5078
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5079
 
5080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5081
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5083
Major changes:
5084
  * Jats command: etool
5085
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5086
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5087
 
5088
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5089
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5090
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5091
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5092
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5093
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5094
 
5095
Minor changes:
5096
 
5097
 
5098
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5099
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5101
Major changes:
5102
  * JATS environment variables
5103
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5104
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5105
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5106
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5107
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5108
 
5109
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5110
              Remote repository
5111
 
5112
    Added GBE_DPLY
5113
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5114
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5115
 
5116
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5117
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5118
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5119
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5120
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5121
 
5122
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5123
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5124
 
5125
 
5126
Minor changes:
5127
  * JATS utility: build
5128
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5129
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5130
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5131
 
5132
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5133
    Ensure label is not locked
5134
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5135
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5136
 
5137
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5138
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5139
    to a specific type of build.
5140
 
5141
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5142
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5143
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5144
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5145
 
5146
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5147
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5148
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5149
 
5150
  * JATS utility: release
5151
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5152
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5153
 
5154
  * JATS utility: label
5155
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5156
    when it is being created.
5157
 
5158
Internal Changes
5159
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5160
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5161
 
5162
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5163
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5164
 
5165
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5166
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5167
    different results.
5168
 
5169
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5170
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5171
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5172
 
5173

5174
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5176
Major changes:
5177
 
5178
  * MCR toolset
5179
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5180
 
5181
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5182
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5184
Major changes:
5185
  * WIN32 utilities
5186
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5187
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5188
 
5189
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5190
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5191
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5192
 
5193
Minor changes:
5194
  * BuildVersion
5195
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5196
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5197
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5198
 
5199
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5200
 
5201
  * Unix Builds
5202
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5203
    library or a shared library.
5204
 
5205
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5206
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5207
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5208
    start with 'lib'.
5209
 
5210
  * BuildPkgArchive
5211
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5212
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5213
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5214
 
5215
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5216
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5217
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5218
Major changes:
5219
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5220
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5221
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5222
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5223
    being manually maintained.
5224
 
5225
 
5226
Minor changes:
5227
  * MakeAnt directive
5228
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5229
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5230
    supports ANT builds.
5231
 
5232
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5233
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5234
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5235
 
5236
  * Label utility
5237
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5238
    files to be labeled.
5239
 
5240
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5241
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5242
    on Solaris.
5243
 
5244
  * Generated makefiles
5245
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5246
    nothing.
5247
 
5248
  * MOS Toolset
5249
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5250
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5251
    modules.
5252
 
5253
  * Utility: gen_cots
5254
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5255
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5256
 
5257
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5258
 
5259
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5260
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5261
 
5262
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5263
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5265
Major changes:
5266
  None
5267
 
5268
Minor changes:
5269
  * DEVI addressed
5270
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5271
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5272
 
5273
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5274
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5275
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5276
 
5277
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5278
 
5279
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5280
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5281
 
5282
  * RunTest directive
5283
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5284
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5285
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5286
 
5287
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5288
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5289
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5290
    packaged under JATS
5291
 
5292
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5293
          supported within JATS.
5294
 
5295
  * Jats utility wrapper
5296
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5297
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5298
 
5299
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5300
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5301
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5302
 
5303
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5304
    Eg: jats ant
5305
 
5306
  * Jats utility wrapper
5307
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5308
 
5309
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5310
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5311
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5312
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5313
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5314
 
5315
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5316
    expect a build.pl file.
5317
 
5318
  * Jats utility wrapper
5319
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5320
 
5321
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5322
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5323
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5324
 
5325
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5326
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5327
 
5328
  * Build files
5329
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5330
    ERG extensions.
5331
 
5332
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5333
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5334
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5335
Major changes:
5336
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5337
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5338
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5339
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5340
 
5341
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5342
 
5343
Minor changes:
5344
  * None
5345
 
5346
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5347
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5349
Major changes:
5350
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5351
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5352
    ie:
5353
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5354
 
5355
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5356
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5357
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5358
    environments are compatible.
5359
 
5360
 
5361
Minor changes:
5362
  * BuildName option
5363
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5364
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5365
 
5366
  * jats.bat
5367
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5368
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5369
 
5370
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5371
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5372
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5373
Major changes:
5374
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5375
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5376
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5377
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5378
 
5379
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5380
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5381
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5382
 
5383
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5384
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5385
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5386
 
5387
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5388
    transferred.
5389
 
5390
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5391
    See notes below.
5392
 
5393
  * WIN32 toolset
5394
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5395
    correctly.
5396
 
5397
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5398
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5399
 
5400
  * BuildVersion
5401
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5402
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5403
    other langauges as needed.
5404
 
5405
 
5406
Minor changes:
5407
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5408
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5409
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5410
    version strings.
5411
 
5412
  * GenerateFiles directive
5413
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5414
    package or an imported package.
5415
 
5416
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5417
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5418
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5419
 
5420
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5421
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5422
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5423
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5424
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5425
 
5426
Internal Changes
5427
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5428
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5429
    of utilities.
5430
 
5431
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5432
    functions.
5433
 
5434
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5435
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5436
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5437
Major changes:
5438
  * Generated makefiles
5439
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5440
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5441
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5442
 
5443
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5444
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5445
    incorrectly processing:
5446
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5447
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5448
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5449
    confused.
5450
 
5451
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5452
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5453
    The construct
5454
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5455
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5456
    then it works.
5457
 
5458
  * MakeAnt directive
5459
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5460
 
5461
    This option has the following effects
5462
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5463
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5464
 
5465
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5466
           early - in the generated files phase.
5467
 
5468
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5469
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5470
 
5471
 
5472
Minor changes:
5473
  * JATS post-installation script
5474
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5475
 
5476
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5477
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5478
    windows.
5479
 
5480
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5481
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5482
 
5483
  * Jats wrapper script
5484
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5485
        1) Contain spaces
5486
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5487
 
5488
  * Toolset
5489
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5490
 
5491
  * JAVA toolset
5492
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5493
    directive:
5494
 
5495
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5496
 
5497
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5498
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5499
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5500
 
5501
  * GCC Toolset
5502
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5503
 
5504
  * Makefile generation
5505
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5506
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5507
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5508
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5509
    package could not be used.
5510
 
5511
  * Unit Tests
5512
    The following environment variables are set:
5513
 
5514
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5515
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5516
 
5517
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5518
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5519
 
5520
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5521
 
5522
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5523
 
5524
 
5525
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5526
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5527
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5528
Major changes:
5529
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5530
 
5531
    Special features of this toolset.
5532
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5533
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5534
       incorporated within the target image.
5535
 
5536
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5537
       --Set=Name=Value
5538
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5539
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5540
 
5541
       --Ref=name
5542
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5543
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5544
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5545
                will be taken from the build version number.
5546
 
5547
Minor changes:
5548
  * MOS Toolset
5549
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5550
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5551
    packaged.
5552
 
5553
  * Src directive
5554
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5555
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5556
    specifier.
5557
 
5558
  * WIN32 runtime support
5559
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5560
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5561
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5562
 
5563
Internal:
5564
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5565
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5566
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5567
 
5568
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5569
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5570
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5571
Major changes:
5572
    * BuildAlias directive
5573
      Added options.
5574
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5575
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5576
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5577
                          targets.
5578
      Eg:
5579
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5580
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5581
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5582
 
5583
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5584
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5585
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5586
 
5587
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5588
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5589
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5590
 
5591
 
5592
Minor changes:
5593
  * Label utility
5594
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5595
    build.pl file
5596
 
5597
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5598
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5599
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5600
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5601
    --FilterIn option.
5602
 
5603
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5604
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5605
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5606
 
5607
  * Location of descpkg file
5608
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5609
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5610
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5611
 
5612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5613
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5614
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5615
Major changes:
5616
  * RunTest directive
5617
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5618
    Additional options
5619
      --CopyIn=file
5620
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5621
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5622
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5623
        the test area.
5624
 
5625
    Additional operations
5626
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5627
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5628
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5629
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5630
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5631
    Allows flags:
5632
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5633
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5634
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5635
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5636
 
5637
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5638
    existence is tested.
5639
 
5640
  * Packaging Directives
5641
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5642
    such as LMOS.
5643
 
5644
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5645
 
5646
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5647
 
5648
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5649
 
5650
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5651
 
5652
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5653
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5654
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5655
 
5656
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5657
 
5658
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5659
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5660
 
5661
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5662
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5663
 
5664
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5665
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5666
 
5667
Minor changes:
5668
  * Script directive
5669
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5670
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5671
 
5672
  * JATS environment
5673
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5674
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5675
    the JATS wrapper script.
5676
 
5677
  * Label utility
5678
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5679
    There are three modes of operation:
5680
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5681
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5682
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5683
 
5684
 
5685
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5686
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5687
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5688
Major changes:
5689
 
5690
Minor changes:
5691
  * label utility
5692
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5693
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5694
 
5695
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5696
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5697
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5698
      --ProgLoader=name
5699
 
5700
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5701
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5702
    Options to do this are:
5703
        --TreeDir=name
5704
        --FilterOut=regexp
5705
        --FilterIn=regexp
5706
        --StripDir
5707
 
5708
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5709
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5710
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5711
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5712
 
5713
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5714
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5715
 
5716
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5717
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5718
 
5719
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5720
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5721
 
5722
 
5723
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5724
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5725
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5726
Major changes:
5727
    * Make commands
5728
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5729
 
5730
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5731
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5732
 
5733
    * Label utility
5734
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5735
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5736
 
5737
Minor changes:
5738
    * Toolsets
5739
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5740
      variables and overrides.
5741
 
5742
      The make_init target is always run.
5743
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5744
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5745
 
5746
    * Deployment
5747
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5748
      with deployment operations.
5749
 
5750
    * Release utility
5751
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5752
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5753
      restricted by options within the build.
5754
 
5755
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5756
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5757
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5758
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5759
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5760
 
5761
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5762
      directives.
5763
 
5764
    * MakeProject directive
5765
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5766
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5767
 
5768
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5769
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5770
      is preserved.
5771
 
5772
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5773
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5774
      statements.
5775
 
5776
    * Mugfile generation
5777
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5778
      be placed in the target package.
5779
 
5780
 
5781
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5782
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5783
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5784
Major changes:
5785
    * BuildVersion directive
5786
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5787
      number as well as a patch number.
5788
 
5789
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5790
      number.
5791
 
5792
Minor changes:
5793
    * AddFlags directives
5794
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5795
      duplicate flags being added.
5796
 
5797
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5798
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5799
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5800
 
5801
    * Mug File Generation
5802
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5803
 
5804
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5805
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5806
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5807
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5808
     directory.
5809
 
5810
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5811
     reproducible.
5812
 
5813
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5814
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5815
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5816
Major changes:
5817
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5818
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5819
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5820
      longer a list of directories.
5821
 
5822
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5823
      done within the toolset.
5824
 
5825
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5826
 
5827
    * JATS environment variables
5828
      Redefined variable
5829
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5830
                          Previously was a list that included the
5831
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5832
 
5833
      New variable
5834
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5835
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5836
 
5837
 
5838
Minor changes:
5839
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5840
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5841
      target platforms to be extracted.
5842
 
5843
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5844
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5845
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5846
 
5847
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5848
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5849
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5850
 
5851
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5852
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5853
 
5854
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5855
      Support ANT based XML files
5856
 
5857
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5858
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5859
      structure.
5860
 
5861
    * makefile.pl's
5862
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5863
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5864
 
5865
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5866
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5867
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5868
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5869
 
5870
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5871
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5872
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5873
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5874
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5875
      -- Auto.
5876
 
5877
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5878
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5879
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5880
 
5881
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5882
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5883
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5884
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5885
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5886
 
5887
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5888
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5889
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5890
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5891
      installed on the machine.
5892
 
5893
    * WINCE Targets
5894
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5895
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5896
 
5897
 
5898

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5900
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5901
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5902
Major changes:
5903
    * WIN32 platforms
5904
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5905
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5906
      and installed packages.
5907
 
5908
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5909
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5910
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5911
 
5912
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5913
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5914
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5915
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5916
      searched when looking for libraries.
5917
 
5918
Minor changes:
5919
    * GenerateFiles directive
5920
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5921
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5922
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5923
                          and drive letter
5924
 
5925
    * Src directive
5926
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5927
      directory of a package.
5928
 
5929
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5930
 
5931
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5932
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5933
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5934
 
5935
    * jats_rewrite utility
5936
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5937
 
5938
 
5939
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5940
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5941
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5942
Major changes:
5943
    * SunWorks production builds
5944
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5945
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5946
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5947
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5948
      compiler documentation.
5949
 
5950
    * MOS Toolset
5951
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5952
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5953
 
5954
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5955
 
5956
Minor changes:
5957
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5958
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5959
      This should not affect current users.
5960
 
5961
    * Mugfile generation
5962
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5963
      specified.
5964
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5965

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5968
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5969
Major changes:
5970
    MOS Toolset
5971
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5972
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5973
 
5974
Minor changes:
5975
    * Jats wrapper script
5976
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5977
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5978
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5979
 
5980
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5981
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5982
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5983
      may be suspect.
5984
 
5985
    * GenerateFiles directive
5986
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5987
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5988
 
5989
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5990
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5991
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5992
Major changes:
5993
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5994
      build.xml files.
5995
 
5996
Minor changes:
5997
    * WIN32 toolset.
5998
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5999
 
6000
    * MakeAnt
6001
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6002
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6003
 
6004
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6005
 
6006
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6007
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6008
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6009
 
6010
    * MakeAnt directive
6011
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6012
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6013
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6014
 
6015
      Recommended usage:
6016
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6017
 
6018
Internal Changes
6019
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6024
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6025
Major changes:
6026
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6027
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6028
      files packaged into the release.
6029
 
6030
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6031

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6034
 
6035
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6036
      The recommended platform is:
6037
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6038
 
6039
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6040
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6041
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6042
      components.
6043
 
6044
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

6048
 
6049
Minor changes:
6050
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6051
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6052
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6053
      by the package to be accessed.
6054
 
6055
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6056
      application or visual studio.
6057
 
6058
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6059
      and the JATS Core path.
6060
 
6061
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6062
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6063
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6064
 
6065
    * MOS Toolset
6066
      Add support for the TPT device
6067
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6068
 
6069
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6070
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6071
 
6072
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6073
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6074
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6075
 
6076
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6077
 
6078
Internal Changes
6079
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6080
      in jats.pl
6081
 
6082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6083
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6084
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6085
Major changes:
6086
    * JATS wrapper script
6087
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6088
 
6089
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6090
 
6091
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6092
 
6093
Minor changes:
6094
    * Deployment support
6095
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6096
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6097
 
6098
    * 'build'
6099
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6100
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6101
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6102
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6103
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6104
 
6105
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6106
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6107
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6108
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6109
                                      the link phase.
6110
 
6111
    * BuildPkgArchive
6112
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6113
      Previously these were ignored.
6114
      Minor code cleanup
6115
 
6116
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6117
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6118
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6119
 
6120
    * SOLARIS targets
6121
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6122
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6123
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6124
 
6125
    * MugFile generation
6126
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6127
      included in the final package.
6128
 
6129
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6130
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6131
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6132
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6133
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6134
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6135
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6136
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6137
 
6138
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6139
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6140
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6141
            --Option=(some_text)
6142
            --Option=[some_text]
6143
            --Option={some_text}
6144
 
6145
Internal Changes
6146
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6147
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6148
      code.
6149
 
6150

6151
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6152
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6153
Major changes:
6154
    * JATS wrapper script
6155
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6156
 
6157
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6158
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6159
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6160
      other components.
6161
 
6162
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6163
 
6164
    * JATS
6165
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6166
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6167
 
6168
    * Build operations
6169
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6170
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6171
      packages.
6172
 
6173
    * Make operations
6174
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6175
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6176
 
6177
Minor changes:
6178
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6179
      deployment builds.
6180
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6181
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6182
 
6183
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6184
 
6185
    * build.pl
6186
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6187
        processed. Allows
6188
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6189
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6190
        production.
6191
 
6192
    * MOS toolset
6193
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6194
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6195
 
6196
    * create_dpkg utility
6197
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6198
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6199
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6200
      progress of the build.
6201
 
6202
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6203
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6204
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6205
      system.
6206
 
6207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6208
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6209
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6210
Major changes:
6211
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6212
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6213
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6214
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6215
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6216
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6217
 
6218
    * WCEX86A500 target
6219
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6220
 
6221
    * MOS Toolsets
6222
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6223
      the compiler.
6224
 
6225
    * RunTest directive
6226
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6227
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6228
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6229
 
6230
Minor changes:
6231
    * JATS BUILD
6232
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6233
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6234
      highlight bad settings.
6235
 
6236
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6237
      access to extensions.
6238
 
6239
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6240
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6241
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6242
Major changes:
6243
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6244
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6245
 
6246
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6247
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6248
      under unix.
6249
 
6250
Minor changes:
6251
    * label utility
6252
      Added options to:
6253
        o Delete a label
6254
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6255
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6256
 
6257
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6258
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6259
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6260
      Package directives.
6261
 
6262
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6263
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6264
      system.
6265
 
6266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6267
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6268
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6269
Major changes:
6270
    * MOS Toolset
6271
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6272
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6273
 
6274
    * WIN32 Toolset
6275
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6276
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6277
      list.
6278
 
6279
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6280
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6281
 
6282
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6283
 
6284
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6285
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6286
 
6287
 
6288
Minor changes:
6289
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6290
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6291
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6292
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6293
      corrected.
6294
 
6295
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6296
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6297
 
6298
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6299
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6300
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6301

6303
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6305
Major changes:
6306
    * WIN32 Toolset
6307
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6308
      use with multithreaded modes.
6309
 
6310
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6311
      --OnlyProd.
6312
 
6313
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6314
      within the makefile.pl.
6315
 
6316
Minor changes:
6317
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6318
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6319
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6320
      platforms.
6321
 
6322
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6323
 
6324

6325
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6326
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6327
Major changes:
6328
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6329
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6330
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6331
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6332
 
6333
    * Preliminary Support
6334
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6335
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6336
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6337
 
6338
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6339
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6340
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6341
 
6342
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6343
      building. The default build will build both.
6344
 
6345
Minor changes:
6346
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6347
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6348
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6349
 
6350
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6351
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6352
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6353

6357
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6358
Major changes:
6359
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6360
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6361
      or all.
6362
 
6363
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6364
      the library or program.
6365
 
6366
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6367
 
6368
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6369
      library or any debug files.
6370
 
6371
    * GenerateFiles
6372
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6373
 
6374
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6375
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6376
 
6377
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6378
              The filename of the prereq file
6379
 
6380
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6381
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6382
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6383
 
6384
 
6385
Minor changes:
6386
    * create_dpkg utility
6387
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6388
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6389
      the package has been altered.
6390

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6394
Major changes:
6395
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6396
      This is a WINCE target
6397
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6398
 
6399
    * New toolset
6400
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6401
 
6402
    * Modified toolset
6403
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6404
 
6405
    * Modified toolset
6406
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6407
 
6408
Minor changes:
6409
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6410
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6411
 
6412
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6413
 
6414
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6415
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6416
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6417
 
6418
      The change allows the construct
6419
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6420
      to be replaced by the simpler
6421
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6422
 
6423
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6424
      specified name.

6444
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6445
Major changes:
6446
    * The "package.pl" file.
6447
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6448
      package name being taken from the build name
6449
 
6450
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6451
      package Build Name.
6452
 
6453
Minor changes:
6454
    * create_dpkg utility
6455
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
6456
 
6457

6460
Major changes:
6461
 
6462
Minor changes:
6463
    * Dependancy generator
6464
      Correct two common situations
6465
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6466
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6467
           ansi, but is often done.
6468
 
6469
    * GCC toolset
6470
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6471
      being created in the correct place.
6472
 
6473
    * jats "label"
6474
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6475
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6476
 
6477
 
6478
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6479
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6480
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6481
Major changes:
6482
 
6483
Minor changes:
6484
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6485
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6486
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6487
 
6488
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6489
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6490
 
6491
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6492
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6493
      package was not being transferred.
6494
 
6495
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6496
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6497
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6498
Major changes:
6499
    * Support for solaris_i386
6500
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6501
      binaries for this target.
6502
 
6503
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6504
      with the GCC compiler.
6505
 
6506
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6507
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6508
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6509
 
6510
Minor changes:
6511
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6512
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6513
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6514
 
6515
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6516
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6517
 
6518
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6519
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6521
Major changes:
6522
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6523
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6524
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6525
 
6526
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6527
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6528
 
6529
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6530
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6531
      with either " or ' characters.
6532
 
6533
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6534
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6535
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6536
 
6537
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6538
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6539
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6540
 
6541
    * Jats wrapper
6542
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6543
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6544
      further commands.
6545
 
6546
Minor changes:
6547
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6548
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6549
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6550
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6551
 
6552
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6553
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6554
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6555
Major changes:
6556
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6557
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6558
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6559
 
6560
      These options operation affect all components within the
6561
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6562
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6563
 
6564
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6565
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6566
 
6567
Minor changes:
6568
 
6569
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6570
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6571
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6572
Major changes:
6573
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6574
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6575
 
6576
Minor changes:
6577
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6578
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6579
 
6580
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6581
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6582
 
6583
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6584
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6585
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6586
Major changes:
6587
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6588
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6589
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6590
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6591
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6592
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6593
      installed.
6594
 
6595
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6596
      libraries that depend on each other.
6597
 
6598
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6599
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6600
 
6601
Minor changes:
6602
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6603
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6604
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6605
 
6606
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6607
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6608
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6609
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6610
 
6611
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6612
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6613
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6614
Major changes:
6615
 
6616
Minor changes:
6617
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6618
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6619
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6620
      file.
6621
 
6622
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6623
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6624
 
6625
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6626
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6627
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6628
 
6629
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6630
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6631
 
6632
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6633
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6634
 
6635
    * WinCE toolsets
6636
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6637
      compiler specific libraries.
6638
 
6639
    * SOLARIS toolset
6640
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6641
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6642
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6643
 
6644
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6645
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6646
      cleaned up.
6647
 
6648
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6649
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6650
 
6651
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6652
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6653
      with either " or ' characters.
6654
 
6655

6658
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6659
Major changes:
6660
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6661
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6662
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6663
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6664
 
6665
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6666
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6667
 
6668
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6669
      user.
6670
 
6671
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6672
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6673
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6674
 
6675
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6676
      for the   -Gf option.
6677
 
6678
Minor changes:
6679
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6680
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6681
 
6682
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6683
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6684
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6685
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6686
 
6687
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6688
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6689
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6690
Major changes:
6691
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6692
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6693
 
6694
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6695
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6696
      data addresses for the board.
6697
 
6698
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6699
 
6700
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6701
 
6702
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6703
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6704
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6705
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6706
         PackageFile
6707
 
6708
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6709
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6710
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6711
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6712
 
6713
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6714
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6715
      to be installed and packaged.
6716
 
6717
Minor changes:
6718
 
6719
    * cache_dpkg utility
6720
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6721
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6722
 
6723
    * label utility
6724
      New option -auto to create and label
6725
 
6726
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6727
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6728
 
6729
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6730
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6731
      directory. ie:
6732
 
6733
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6734
 
6735
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6736
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6737
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6738

Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6742
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6743
Major changes:
6744
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6745
 
6746
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6747
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6748
 
6749
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6750
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6751
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6752
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6753
 
6754
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6755
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6756
      compilation.
6757
 
6758
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6759
 
6760
Minor changes:
6761
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6762
      one is being produced.
6763
 
6764
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6765
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6766
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6767
 
6768
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6769
 
6770
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6771
 
6772
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6773
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6774
 
6775
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6776
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6778
Major changes:
6779
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6780
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6781
 
6782
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6783
 
6784
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6785
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6786
      same directory
6787
 
6788
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6789
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6790
      documenattion.
6791
 
6792
Minor changes:
6793
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6794
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6795
 
6796
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6797
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6798
 
6799
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6800
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6801
 
6802
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6803
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6804
 
6805
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6806
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6807
      be exempt from this test.
6808
 
6809
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6810
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6811
 
6812
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6813
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6814
 
6815
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6816
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6817
      does.
6818
 
6819
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6820
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6821

6823
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6824
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6825
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6826
Major changes:
6827
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6828
 
6829
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6830
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6831
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6832
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6833
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6834
 
6835
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6836
      operations.
6837
 
6838
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6839
 
6840
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6841
 
6842
Minor changes
6843
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6844
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6845
 
6846
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6847
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6848
      directory is not added to the library path.
6849
 
6850
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6851
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6852
 
6853
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6854
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6855
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6856
 
6857
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6858
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6859
      specific flags.
6860
 
6861
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6862
 
6863
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6864
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6865
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6866
 
6867
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6868
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6869
      JATS.
6870
 
6871
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6872
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6873
 
6874
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6875
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6876
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6877
 
6878
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6879
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6880
 
6881
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6882
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6883
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6884
 
6885
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6886
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6887
 
6888
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6889
 
6890
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6891
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6892
 
6893
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6894
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6895
      objects.
6896
 
6897
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6898
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6899
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6900
      build defendants.
