Version:  3.5.9000.cr                               Released: 
3
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4
Minor changes:
5
    * New build Alias - NATIVE
6
      NATIVE is a set of platforms, in the current build, which build 
7
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
8
 
9
      The NATIVE alias has been created to simplify the support
10
      for automated unit tests.
11
 
12
    * New build platform - UBUNTU12_INSTUMENT
13
      This build target is similar to UBUNTU12, except that it 
14
      generates instrumented code with gcov. The platform's unit tests 
15
      will create and maintain a set of lcov files.
16
 
17
      Packages generated withthis target SHOULD NOT be deployed to the field.
18

Version:  3.5.8000.cr                               Released: 21-Nov-14 
4652 dpurdie 21
------------------------------------------------------------------------
22
Minor changes:
23
    * Build System Utility: create_dpkg
4688 dpurdie 24
      When creating the file list for release notes, convert filenames 
25
      to utf-8 for consistent handling.
4652 dpurdie 26
 
27
      Will add its own 'built' files to the package metadata file.
28
 
29
    * VS2012 Toolset
30
      [JATS-308] Running jats from VS2012 Developer command prompt
31
 
4688 dpurdie 32
    * EnvVars
33
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
34
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
35
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
36
 
37
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
38
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
39
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
40
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
41
 
42
    * Jats caching
43
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
44
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed
45
      up jats startup.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
68
Minor changes:
69
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
70
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
71
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
72
 
73
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
74
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
75
 
76
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
77
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
78
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
79
 
80
    * Jats Internal: Database access
81
      Rebuilt the database access tools using Java 1.4

Major changes:

367
Minor changes:
368
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
369
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
370
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
371
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
372
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
373
 
374
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
375
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

380
Major changes:
381
 
382
Minor changes:
383
    * Utility: update_release
384
      Added options:
385
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
386
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
387
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
388
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
389
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
390
      Report filter elements that are not used.
391
 
392
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
393
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
394
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
395
 
396
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
397
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
398

Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
401
------------------------------------------------------------------------
402
Major changes:
403
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
404
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
405
      intended to build deployed software.
406
 
407
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
408
      the DEVLINUX alias.
409
 
410
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
411
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
412
 
413
Minor changes:
414
    * Jats wrapper script
415
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
416
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
417
      Subversion instance of the command.
418
 
419
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
420
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
421
 
422
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
423
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
424
 
425
    * Utility: jats upddep
426
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
427
      file under windows.
428
 
429
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
430
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
431
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
432
 
433
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
434
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
435
 
436
    * GCC Toolchain
437
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

                            fail to daemon build
445
      Create shorter viewnames when extracting Subversion workspace

------------------------------------------------------------------------
453
Major changes:
454
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
455
      Support for Intellect PAX.
456
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
457
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
458
 
459
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
460
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

468
      family
3559 dpurdie 469
 
470
Minor changes:
471
    * Utility: jats sandbox
472
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
473
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
474
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
475
      line.
476
 
477
    * Jats Configuration
478
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
479
 
480
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
481
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
482
      and Linux.
483
 
484
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
485
      correctly rippled.

490
Major changes:
491
 
492
Minor changes:
493
    * Jats Core
494
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
495
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
496
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
497
 
498
    * Utility: svnsave_build
499
      Used only by the build daemons.
500
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
501
 
502
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
503
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
504
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

508
------------------------------------------------------------------------
509
Major changes:
510
 
511
Minor changes:
512
    * svnrelease utility
513
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
514
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
515
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
516
 
517
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
518
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
519
      the named tag.
520
 
521
    * svnrelease utility
522
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
523
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

    * CHSHARP Toolset
532
      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
533
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
534
        covered by the makefile.
535
 
536
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
537
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
538
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
539
 
540
    * ALL Toolsets
541
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
542
 
543
    * Utility vcsdiff
544
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
545
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
546
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
554
    * Subversion Extraction
555
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
556
      directory of the tag.
557
 
558
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
559
      repository.
560
 
561
    * Subversion Support
562
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
563
      showing the user what to do.
564
 
565
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
566
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
567
      we have build support for this target.
568
 
569
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
570
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
571
 
572
Internal:
573
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
574
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
575
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
576
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

590
Major changes:
591
 
592
Minor changes:
593
    * Makefile generation
594
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
595
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
596
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
597
      of warnings.
598
 
599
    * Makefile Generation
600
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
601
 
602
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
603
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
609
Major changes:
610
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
611
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
612
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
613
      these operations with a dedicated program.
614
 
615
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
616
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
617
      windows path scheme.
618
 
619
Minor changes:
620
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
621
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
622
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
623
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
624
 
625
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
626
        jats make clobber
627
      This operates as before.
628
 
629
    * Utility: escrow
630
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
631
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
632
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
633
 
634
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
635
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
636
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
637
 
638
    * Utility: svn : url
639
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
640
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
641
 
642
    * Utility: svn : import
643
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
644
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
645
 
646
    * Subversion Support
647
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
648
      showing the user what to do.
649
 
650
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
651
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
652
      repositories.

657
 
658
Minor changes:
659
    * Jats build
660
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
661
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
662
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
663
 
664
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 665
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 666

675
      Added two subcommands
676
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
677
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
678
                 Can also display available branches.
679
 
2054 dpurdie 680
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

683
    * Utility: rtag_extract
684
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
685
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
686
 
687
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
688
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
689
      Modified two options:
690
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
691
                        The named branch must not exist
692
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
693
                        The named branch must exist
694
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

729
Major changes:
730
    * Jats Version Number
731
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
732
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
733
      significantly.
734
 
735
Minor changes:
736
    * Makefile Generation
737
      Packing of directories filters out .svn subdirectories

745
Major changes:
746
    * Subversion support
747
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
748
      SubVersion. Changes include:
749
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
750
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
751
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
752
 
753
Minor changes:
754
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
755
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
756
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
757
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
758
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
759
 
760
    * Utility: svnsave_build
761
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
762
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
763

771
------------------------------------------------------------------------
772
Major changes:
773
    * Subversion Repository location
774
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
775
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
776
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
777
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
778
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
779
 
780
Minor changes:
781
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
782
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
783
 
784
    * Utility: svnrelease
785
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
786
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
787
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
788
 
789
    * Utility: svnsave_build
790
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
791
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
792
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
793
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
794
 
795
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
796
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
797
 
798

799
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
800
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
801
 
802
      Subcommand: populate
803
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
804
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
805
      sandbox.
806
 
807
    * Subversion Support
808
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
809
      repository is not supported.
810
 
811
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
812
      a progress indication.
813
 
814
    * Jats Online Documentation
815
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
816
      online documentation.
817
 
818
    * Generated makefiles
819
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

896
Major changes:
897
 
898
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
899
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
900
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
901
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
902
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
903

    * C# Toolchain
905
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

915
 
916
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
917
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
918
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
919
 
920
    * Utility ccrelease
921
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
922
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
923
 
924
    * Utility: svn
925
      Improved package import processing.
926
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

953
------------------------------------------------------------------------
954
Major changes:
955
 
956
Minor changes:
957
    * Command: jats clobber
958
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
959
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
960
 
961
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
962
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
963
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
964
 
965
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
966
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
967
 
377 dpurdie 968
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
969
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
970
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 971
 
972
    * jats svnlabel
973
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
974
 
975
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
976
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
977
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
978
 
979
    * Built Daemon support
980
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
981
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
982

985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
986
Major changes:
987
    * GCC Toolset
988
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
989
      New methodology is:
990
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
991
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
992
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
993
        as the main binary.
994
 
995
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
996
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
997
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
998
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
999
      both worlds.
1000
 
1001
Minor changes:
1002
    * HTML Documentation
1003
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1004
 
1005
Internal changes:
1006
    * Generated makefiles

1012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1013
Major changes:
1014
    * Jats Sandbox
1015
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1016
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1017
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1018
 
1019
    * RIORDS Platform
1020

1040
 
1041
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1042
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
1043
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1044
 
1045
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1046
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1047
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1048
      a vob.
1049
 
1050
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

1084
    * Jats startup
1085
      Jats will report an error if started in a directory that is inaccessible

      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
1115
      the clearcase label.
1116

1127
 
1128
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
1129
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
1130
 
1131
Minor changes:
1132
    * HTML Help
1133
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1134
 
1135
    * jats build -noforce
1136
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1137
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1138
      be forced.
1139
 
1140
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1141
 
1142
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1143
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1144
 
1145
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1146
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1147
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1148
 
1149
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1150
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1151
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1152
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1153
 
1154
    * Utility: svnrelease
1155
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1156
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1157
 
1158
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1159
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1160
 
1161
    * Utility: svn
1162
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1163
      installed and can be used.
1164
 
1165
    * Toolset: CSharp
1166
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1167
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1168
      character.
1169
 
1170
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1171
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1172
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.

      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1568
      Not recommended for general use.
1569
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1570
      directories within the current view.
1571
 
1572
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1573
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1574
      elsewhere.
1575
 
1576
    * Jats save_build
1577
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1578
      the determination of a branch.
1579
 
1580
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1581
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1582
 
1583
    * Jats build
1584
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1585
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1586
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1587
 
1588
    * Borland6 toolset
1589
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1590
      to match the documented install location of:
1591
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1592
 
1593
    * Jats build
1594
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1595
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1596
      This is a very quick operation.
1597
 
1598
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1599
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1600
 
1601
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1602
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1603
      files are only recreated if need be.
1604
 
1605
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1606
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1607
      make the package.
1608
 
1609
    * Jats sandbox
1610
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1611
 
1612
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1613
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1614
 
1615
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1616
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1617
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1618
      is performed.
1619
 
1620
Internal:
1621
    * build.pl
1622
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

1654
Major changes:
1655
 
1656
Minor changes:
1657
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1658
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1659
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1660
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1661
 
1662
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1663
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1664
 
1665
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1666
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1667
      platform builds.
1668
 
1669
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1670
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1671
      directory tree.
1672
 
1673

Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
1686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1687
Major changes:
1688
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1689
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1690
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1691
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1692
 
1693
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1694
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1695
 
1696
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1697
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1698
 
1699
      Examples:
1700
            jats upddep -show
1701
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1702
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1703
 
1704
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1705
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1706
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1707
 
1708
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1709
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1710
 
1711
Minor changes:
1712
 
1713
Internal changes:
1714
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

1719
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1720
Major changes:
1721
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1722
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1723
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1724
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1725
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1726
      stream.
1727
 
1728
      Example:
1729
 
1730
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1731
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1732
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1733
                     );
1734
Minor changes:
1735
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1736
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1737
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1738
      directive.
1739
 
1740
    * GCC Toolkit
1741
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1742
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1743
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1744
      the point of termination.
1745
 
1746
    * Jats save_build utility
1747
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1748
      under windows.
1749
 
1750
    * Jats sandbox
1751
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1752
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1753
      in different sandboxes.
1754
 
1755
    * Jats release
1756
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1757

    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1765
      Added -locatedir=name
1766
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1767
      directory.
1768
 
1769
    * jats label utility
1770
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1771
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1772
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1773
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1774
 
1775
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1776

Minor changes:
1783
    * WinCe Toolsets
1784
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1785
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1786
        noExceptions            - Disable
1787
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1788
      Example:
1789
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1790
 
1791
    * Solaris targets
1792
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1793
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1794
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1795
      machine type.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1800
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1801
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1802
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1803
      project files.
1804
 
1805
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1806
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1807
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1808
 
1809
Minor changes:
1810
    * Added more internal documentation
1811
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1812
 
1813
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1814
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1815
 
1816
    * Jats save_build utility
1817
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1818
      under windows.
1819
 
1820
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1821
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1822
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1823
      libraries.
1824
 
1825
    * Solaris builds
1826
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1827
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1828
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1829
      of the build failure.
1830
 
1831
 
1832
Internal changes:
1833
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1834
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1835
 
1836
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1837
      PkgArchive topics.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1842
Major changes:
1843
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1844
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1845
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1846
      existing 32-bit builds.
1847
 
1848
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

1851
Minor changes:
1852
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1853
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1854
 
1855
    * Package searching
1856
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1857
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1858
 
1859
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1860
 
1861
    * jats help
1862
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1863
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1864
 
1865
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1866
      with one of:
1867
        jats -h
1868
        jats help jats
1869
 
1870
Internal:
1871
    * cmdfile utility
1872
      Added macros:
1873
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1874
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1875
 
1876
      Corrected
1877
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)

1893
Internal changes
1894
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1895
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1896
      Useful side effects include:
1897
 
1898
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1899
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1900
 
1901
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1902
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1903
 
1904
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1905
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1906
        BuildPkgArchive
1907
 
313 dpurdie 1908
    * Perl Modules
1909
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1910
      release. This will:
1911
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1912
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1913
          reported by ERG.
1914
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1924
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1925
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1926
 
1927
    * Jats label utility
1928
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1929
 
1930
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1931
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1932
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1933
 
1934
    * Jats core
1935
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1936
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1937
      used to package ant based builds.

1947
      This is now fixed.
1948
 
309 dpurdie 1949
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1950
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1951
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1952
 
1953
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1954
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
1963
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1964
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1965
      an error.
1966
 
1967
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1968

      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1980
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1981
 
1982
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1983
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1984
 
1985
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1986

      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1994
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1995
 
1996
    * MOS builds
1997
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1998
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1999
 
2000
    * MOS builds

    * Verbose builds now show command files
2011
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2012
 
2013
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2014
      to the output stream.
2015
 
2016
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2017
 
2018
    * Windows Shell
2019
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2020
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'

2028
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2029
 
2030
Internal changes
2031
    * WinCe builds
2032

2050
Major changes:
2051
 
2052
Minor changes:
2053
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2054
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2055
      Changes are transparent to users.
2056
 
2057
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2058
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2059
      this occurs.
2060
 
2061
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2062
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2063
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2064
      automated build framework.
2065
 
2066
    * jats sandbox command
2067
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2068
      'create' command.

2077
Major changes:
2078
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2079
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2080
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2081
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2082
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2083
      will work as expected
2084
 
2085
Minor changes:
2086
    * VS2008 Toolset
2087
      Picking up incorrect config details
2088
      May result in a warning message.
2089
 
2090
    * gen_cots utility
2091
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2092

2142
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2143
Major changes:
2144
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2145
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2146
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2147
 
2148
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2149
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2150
 
2151
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2152
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2153
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2154
           names cannot be changed.
2155
 
2156
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2157
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2158
 
2159
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2160
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2161
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2162
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2163
 
2164
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2165
      file.
2166
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2167
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2168
      MyPackage.dpk.
2169
 
2170
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2171
      file.
2172
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2173
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2174
      MyDll.dpr.
2175
 
2176
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2177
      file.
2178
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2179
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2180
      MyProg.dpr.
2181
 
2182
Minor changes:
2183
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2184
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2185
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2186
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2187
 
2188
    * BuildVersion directive
2189
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2190
      in a Delphi Unit.
2191
 
2192
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2193
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2194
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2195
      'know' the location of the files.
2196
 
2197
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2198
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2199
 
2200
Internal Changes:
2201
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2202
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2203
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2204
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2205
 
2206
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2207
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2208
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
2209

287 dpurdie 2211
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2213
Major changes:
2214
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2215
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2216
      information for purely C++ builds.
2217
 
289 dpurdie 2218
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2219
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2220
 
289 dpurdie 2221
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2222
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2223
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2224
 
2225
Minor changes:
2226
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2227
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2228
 
2229
    * updatenodespec utility
2230
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2231
      Manager database.

      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
2255
 
2256
Minor changes:
2257
    * MergeLibrary directive
2258
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
2259
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
2260

    * New command: jats make show
2269
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2270
      used in the build.
2271
 
2272
    * Escrow command
2273
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2274
 
2275
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2276
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2277
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2278
 
2279
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2280
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2281
 
2282

277 dpurdie 2284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2285
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2286
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2287
 
279 dpurdie 2288
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2289
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2290
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2291
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2292
 
2293
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2294
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2295
 
2296
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2297
 
2298
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2299
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2300
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2301
 
2302
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2303
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2304
        processed.
2305
 
2306
      Removed the '-delete' option
2307
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2308
 
277 dpurdie 2309
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2310
    * Sandbox command
2311
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2312
 
2313
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2314
      target from consideration in the build set.
2315
 
2316
    * MCR Toolset
2317
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2318
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2319
 
2320
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2321
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2322
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2323
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2324
 
2325
    * Jats run_test command
2326
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2327
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2328
 
2329
    * descpkg file
2330
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2331
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2332
 
2333
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2334
     Now contains build trace information
2335
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config

2542
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2543
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2544
 
2545
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

2772
 
2773
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
2774
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
2775
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
2776
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2777
 
2778
Minor changes:
2779
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2780
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
2781
 
2782
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
2783
      some windows tools.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2788
Major changes:
2789
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
2790
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2791
 
2792
      New platforms:
2793
        CSHARP2005
2794
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2795
         Support extends to allow:
2796
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2797
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2798
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2799
 
2800
        VS2005
2801
         Support extends to allow:
2802
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2803
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2804
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2805
 
2806
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2807
      through a version selector:
2808
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2809
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2810
 
2811
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2812
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2813
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2814
 
2815
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2816
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2817
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2818
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2819
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2820
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2821
          under VS2005.
2822
 
2823
Minor changes:
2824
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

2827
 
2828
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2829
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2830
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2831
 
2832
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2833
 
2834
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2835
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2836
 
2837
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2838
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2839
      a minimal value of perl.
2840
 
2841
      Removed excessive require statements.
2842
 
2843
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2844
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2845
      Include JATS specific files for
2846
        1) Windows
2847
        2) Linux
2848
 
2849
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2850
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2851
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2852
      machines.
2853
 
2854
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2855
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2856
 
2857
    * JATS Environment
2858
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2859
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2860
 
2861
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2862
      wrapper scripts.
2863
 
2864
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2865
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2866
      Spell check help and code.

2919
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2920
  * New toolset and platform
2921
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2922
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2923
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2924
    this platform.
2925
 
2926
Minor changes:
2927
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2928
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2929
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2930
    work.
2931
 
2932
  * Jats utility: release
2933
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2934
    published to dpkg_archive.
2935
 
249 dpurdie 2936
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2937
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2938
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2939
    supported for ANT builds.
2940
 
2941
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2942
        releasemanager.releasename
2943
        releasemanager.projectname
2944
 
2945
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2946
    tagged data item of the form
2947
 
2948
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2949
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2950
 
2951
  * Mug File Generation
2952
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2953
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2954
 
2955
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2956
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2957
    required.
2958
 
2959
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2960
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2961
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2962
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2963
    the files in order to use them.
2964
 
2965
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2966
    locate the file.
2967
 
2968
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2969
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2970
 
2971
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2972
        * CSharp
2973
        * Properties
2974
        * WinRC
2975
 
2976
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2977
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2978
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2979
    Value is correctly assigned.

Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2985
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2986
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2987
 
2988
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2989
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2990
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2991
 
2992
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2993
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2994
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2995
 
2996
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2997
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2998
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2999
 
3000
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3001
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3002
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3003
    correct.
3004
 
3005
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3006
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3007
 
3008
Minor changes:
3009
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3010
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3011
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3012
 
3013
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3014
    This will simplify new user setup.
3015
 
3016
  * All Unix Toolsets
3017
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3018
    on unix systems
3019
 
3020
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3021
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3022
    on some Solaris Machines.
3023
 
3024
  * JATS -version=<version>
3025
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3026
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3027

3074
    mode.
3075
 
3076
  * JATS makefiles
3077
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first

      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
3128
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
3129
 
3130
    * MOS Toolset
3131
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
3132
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
3133
 
3134
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
3135
      can have production (PIC) components.
3136
 
3137
    * Utility command: jats abt
3138
      Parse and use -buildfile=xxx option
3139

3184
    * MOS Compiler
3185
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the

      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3187
 
3188
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3189
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3190
      descpkg files to be copied.
3191
 
3192
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
3193
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

3227
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3228
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3229
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3230
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3231
 
3232
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3233
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3234
 
3235
    * Jats wrapper
3236
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3237
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3238

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3242
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3243
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3244
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3245
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3246
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3247
 
3248
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3249
 
3250
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3251
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3252
 
3253
    * Running Jats
3254
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3255
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3256
      This may affect some windows developers.
3257
 
3258
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3259
      Future versions will generate an error.
3260
 
3261
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3262
 
3263
Minor changes:
3264
    * Perl Version Check
3265
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3266
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3267
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3268
 
3269
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3270
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3271
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3272
      build.
3273
 
3274
    * Jats Internals
3275
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3276
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3277
 
3278
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3279
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3280
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3281
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3282
      process.
3283
 
3284
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3285
      Only works under Windows.
3286
 
3287
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3288
 
3289
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3290
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3291
 
3292
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3293
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3294
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3295
 
3296
    * Jats eprog
3297
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3298
      directory.
3299
 
3300
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3301
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3302
      build metrics.
3303

3307
Major changes:
3308
 
3309
Minor changes:
3310
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3311
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3312
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3313
      automated build system. New options are:
3314
        -pname=Package_Name
3315
        -pversion=Package_Version
3316
 
3317
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3318
      transferring the package. New options are:
3319
        -test
3320
 
3321
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3322
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3323
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3324
 
3325
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3326
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3327
 
3328
    * Solaris Toolset
3329
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3330
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3331
      programs are still supported.
3332

3334
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
3335
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3336
Major changes:
3337
 
3338
Minor changes:
3339
    * WINCE toolsets
3340
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3341
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3342
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3343
      when header files cannot be found.
3344
 
3345
    * GenerateFiles directive
3346
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3347
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3348
      that are difficult to solve.
3349
 
3350
    * MakePerlModule directive
3351
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3352
      to the the module builder.
3353
 
3354
    * Jats Tool: label
3355
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3356
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3357
      -dirs=xxx options.
3358
 
3359
    * Jats Tool: release
3360
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3361
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3362
 
3363
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3364
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3365
 
3366
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3367
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3368
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3369
 
3370
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3376
Major changes:
3377
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3378
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3379
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3380
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3381
 
3382
Minor changes:
3383
    * label utility
3384
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3385
 
3386
    * make package and install operations
3387
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3388
      transfer.
3389
 
3390
    * make clean up
3391
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3392
 
3393
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3394
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3395
      minor file transformations such as:
3396
        Copy, with optional rename
3397
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3398
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3399
 
3400
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3401
 
3402
    * jats release utility
3403
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3404
      in place.
3405
 
3406
    * escrow utility
3407
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3408
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.
3409

Major changes:
3414
 
3415
Minor changes:
3416
    * Makefile generation
3417
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3418
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3419
      generate phase early.
3420
 
3421

3422
Version: 2.71.2.cr                                Released: 09-Nov-07
3423
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3424
Major changes:
3425
 
3426
Minor changes:
3427
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3428
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3429
 
3430
    * Makefile generation
3431
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3432
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3433
 
3434
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3435
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3436
 
3437
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3438
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3439
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3440
 
3441
    * jats_rewrite utility
3442
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3443
 
3444
    * jats escrow utility
3445
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3446
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3447
 
3448
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3449
      inconsistent packages.
3450
 
3451
    * jats make help
3452
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3453
      available within the current build.
3454
 
3455
    * jats makefiles
3456
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3457
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3458
 
3459
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3460
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3461
 
3462
    * gcc toolset
3463
      SharedLibries.
3464
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3465
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3466
 
3467
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3468
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3469
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3470
 
3471
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3472
        New options:
3473
            --MultiScan
3474
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3475
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3476
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.
3477

Version: 2.71.1.cr                                Released: 16-Oct-07
3481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3482
Major changes:
3483
 
3484
Minor changes:
3485
    PackageLib directive
3486
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3487
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3488
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3489
 
3490
    MakefileGenerate directive
3491
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3492
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3493
 
3494
    Multiple Parent detection
3495
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3496
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3497
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3498
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3499
 
3500
    Solaris Toolset
3501
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3502
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3503
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3504
    link.
3505
 
3506
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3507
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3508
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3509
 
3510
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3511
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3512
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3513
    file.

3523
    Summary of changes:
3524
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3525
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3526
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3527
          flexibility.
3528
 
3529
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3530
 
3531
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3532
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3533
          interface directory and associated build information.
3534
 
3535
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3536
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3537
          than one second.
3538
 
3539
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3540
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3541
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3542
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3543
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3544
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3545
 
3546
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3547
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3548
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3549
 
3550
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3551
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3552
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3553
          building them.
3554
 
3555
        - Detection of build file changes
3556
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3557
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3558
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3559
 
3560
        - Quieter make output
3561
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3562
 
3563
 
3564
Minor changes:
3565
    MakeAnt Directive
3566
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3567
 
3568
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3569
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3570
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3571
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3572
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3573
 
3574
    CSHARP toolset
3575
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3576

Major changes:
3581
 
3582
Minor changes:
3583
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3584
    are generated.
3585
 
3586
    MakeAnt
3587
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3588
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3589
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3590
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3591
 
3592
    MCR platform
3593
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.
3594
    This is a MOS binary and can be download to the MCR devices.

3601
Minor changes:
3602
    MakeAnt directive extended
3603
    New option: --PackageBase
3604
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3605
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3606
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3607
 
3608
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3609
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3610
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3611
        package image being created.

3629
 
3630
    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
3631
 
3632
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3633
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3634
 
3635
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3636
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3637
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3638
 
3639
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3640
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3641
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3642
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command
3643

3669
Minor changes:
3670
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3671
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3672
 
3673
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3674
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3675
      last.
3676
 
3677
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3678
 
3679
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3680
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3681
 
3682
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3683
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3684
 
3685
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3686
 
3687
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3688
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3689
 
3690
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3691
 
3692
 
3693
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3694
           with the --System option
3695
 
3696
    * LMOS target platform
3697
      Includes LINUX_ETX

3702
Major changes:
3703
 
3704
Minor changes:
3705
    * Solaris Toolset
3706
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3707
      dependent packages.
3708
 
3709
    * RunTest operation
3710
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3711
 
3712
    * Csharp toolkit
3713
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
3714

3716
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
3717
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3718
Major changes:
3719
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3720
 
3721
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3722
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3723
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3724
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3725
      path.
3726
 
3727
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3728
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3729
      reproducible.
3730
 
3731
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3732
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3733
 
3734
      There are several aspects to the change
3735
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3736
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3737
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3738
 
3739
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3740
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3741
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3742
          controlled separately.
3743
 
3744
Minor changes:
3745
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3746
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3747
        Remove duplicates
3748
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3749

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3752
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3753
Major changes:
3754
 
3755
Minor changes:
3756
    * Makefile sanity test
3757
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3758
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3759
 
3760
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3761
      x86 machine.
3762
 
3763
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3764
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3765
 
3766
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3767
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3768
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3769
Major changes:
3770
    * RunTest directive
3771
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3772
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3773
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3774
 
3775
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3776
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3777
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3778
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3779
 
3780
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3781
        builder within the current toolset.
3782
 
3783
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3784
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3785
 
3786
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3787
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3788
      containing the RunTest directive.
3789
 
3790
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3791
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3792
 
3793
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3794
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3795
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3796
 
3797
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3798
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3799
                            P or D suffix.
3800
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3801
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3802
 
3803
Minor changes:
3804
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3805
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3806
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3807
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3808
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3809
 
3810
    * Save Build Utility
3811
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3812
      used in a ripple build.
3813
 
3814
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3815
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3816
 
3817
    * Release Utility
3818
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3819
      when an error is encountered.
3820
 
3821
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3822
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3823
 
3824
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3825
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3826
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3827
 
3828
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3829
      before the makefiles are created.
3830
 
3831
    * TestProg directive
3832
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3833
 
3834
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3835
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3836
 
3837

3839
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3840
Major changes:
3841
    * New build target
3842
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3843
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3844
 
3845
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3846
            DEVLINUX
3847
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3848
 
3849
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3850
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3851
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3852
 
3853
Minor changes:
3854
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3855
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3856
 
3857
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3858
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3859
 
3860
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3861
      and .cs files.
3862
 
3863
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3864
      thing.
3865
 
3866
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3867
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3868
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3869
      were it places temp files.
3870
 
3871
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3872
      interaction with other builds.
3873
 
3874
    * Release utility command
3875
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3876
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3877
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
3885
 
3886
    Supports the handling of .resx files
3887
 
3888
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
3889
    libraries
3890
 
3891
Minor changes:
3892
  * Unit Tests
3893
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3894
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3895
 
3896
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3897
    as a Script.

3925
Major changes:
3926
 
3927
Minor changes:
3928
  * WINCE Support
3929
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3930
 
3931
  * Removed the following targets
3932
        TP5600
3933
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3934
        TP5600_EMU
3935
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3936
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3937
 
3938
  * Deployment
3939
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3940
 
3941
  * build.pl
3942
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3943
 
3944
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3945
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3946
 
3947
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3948
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3949
    build.
3950
 
3951
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3952
 
3953
  * Tool: escrow
3954
     New features
3955
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3956
     are not in the SBOM.
3957
 
3958
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3959
 
3960
     Specify packages to be ignored.
3961

3964
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3965
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3966
Major changes:
3967
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3968
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3969
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3970
 
3971
  * GenerateFiles
3972
    Added the options:
3973
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3974
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3975
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3976
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3977
 
3978
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3979
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3980
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3981
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3982
                                  required.
3983
 
3984
 
3985
Minor changes:
3986
  * GenerateFile directive
3987
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3988
 
3989
  * GCC Toolset
3990
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3991
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3992
    be rebuilt.
3993
 
3994
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3995
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3996
 
3997
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3998
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3999
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4000
Major changes:
4001
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4002
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4003
    environment variables.
4004
 
4005
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4006
            moved.
4007
 
4008
    This will affect users that:
4009
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4010
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4011
 
4012
        2) Use the ABT system
4013
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4014
           the required configuration
4015
 
4016
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4017
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4018
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4019
    Windows
4020
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
4021
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
4022
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
4023
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
4024
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
4025
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
4026
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
4027
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
4028
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4029
 
4030
 
4031
  * New build platforms
4032
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4033
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4034
 
4035
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4036
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4037
 
4038
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4039
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4040
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4041
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4042
 
4043
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4044
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4045
    release.
4046
 
4047
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4048
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4049
 
4050
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4051
    need to be converted.
4052
 
4053
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4054
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4055
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4056
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4057
    used for different targets platforms.
4058
 
4059
  * Sandbox support
4060
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4061
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4062
 
4063
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4064
 
4065
Minor changes:
4066
 
4067
 
4068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4069
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4070
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4071
Major changes:
4072
  * MakeAnt directive
4073
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4074
 
4075
    New options
4076
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4077
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4078
 
4079
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4080
    run_unit_tests phase.
4081
 
4082
  * Sandbox support
4083
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4084
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4085
 
4086
Minor changes:
4087
  * jats build
4088
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4089
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4090
 
4091
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4092
 
4093
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4094
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4095
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4096
 
4097
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4098
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4099
 
4100
  * JATS.BAT
4101
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4102
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4103
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4104
 
4105
  * jats label
4106
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4107
 
4108
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4109
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4110
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4111
Major changes:
4112
  * New build platform:
4113
        LMOS_TP5600
4114
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4115
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4116
 
4117
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4118
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4119
    describe the group of platforms.
4120
 
4121
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4122
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4123
    build these targets.
4124
 
4125
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4126
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4127
 
4128
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4129
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4130
 
4131
  * New build platform: WINCE
4132
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4133
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4134
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4135
 
4136
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4137
            WCEIT3000
4138
            WCEPA961
4139
            WCEPA962
4140
            WCEPCM7220
4141
            WCEPSION_420
4142
            WCEPSPC_arm
4143
            WCEPSPC_emu
4144
            WCEX86A420
4145
            WCEX86A500
4146
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4147
 
4148
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4149
 
4150
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4151
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4152
    that contain packaging directives.
4153
 
4154
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4155
    very unusual configurations.
4156
 
4157
Minor changes:
4158
  * Directive: PackageFile
4159
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4160
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4161
    an '='.
4162
 
4163
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4164
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4165
 
4166
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4167
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4168
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4169
 
4170
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4171
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4172
 
4173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4174
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4176
Major changes:
4177
 
4178
  * JATS release command
4179
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4180
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4181
 
4182
    Rules are:
4183
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4184
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4185
                            File will be placed on a branch
4186
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4187
                            New directory will branch
4188
 
4189
Minor changes:
4190
  * JATS release command
4191
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4192
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4193
 
4194
  * JATS label command
4195
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4196
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4197
 
4198
  * JATS make
4199
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4200
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4201
    was re-packaged.
4202
 
4203
  * JATS escrow
4204
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4205
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4206
 
4207
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4208
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4209
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4210
 
4211
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4212
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4213
    interface directory.
4214
 
4215
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4216
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4217
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4218
    directory as seen by the package.
4219
 
4220
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4221
 
4222
  * JAVA 6
4223
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4224
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4225
 
4226
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4227
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4228
 
4229
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4230
 
4231
  * Jats command: vars
4232
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4233
    These indicate potential problems.
4234
 
4235
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4236
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4237
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4238
Major changes:
4239
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4240
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4241
    libarry is also created.
4242
 
4243
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4244
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4245
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4246
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4247
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4248
    information contained within the file.
4249
 
4250
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4251
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4252
 
4253
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4254
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4255
 
4256
  * Building Perl Modules
4257
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4258
    documentation on the build machine.
4259
 
4260
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4261
 
4262
Minor changes:
4263
  * jats create_dpkg
4264
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4265
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4266
 
4267
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4268
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4270
Major changes:
4271
  * JATS JAVA build target
4272
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4273
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4274
 
4275
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4276
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4277
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4278
    is then picked up as the default version.
4279
 
4280
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4281
    build.pl file.
4282
 
4283
Minor changes:
4284
  * jats release
4285
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4286
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4287
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4288
 
4289
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4290
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4291
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4292
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4293
    the name of the view.
4294
 
4295
  * GenerateFiles directive
4296
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4297
 
4298
  * MOS Toolset
4299
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4300
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4301
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4302
 
4303
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4304

4308
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4309
Major changes:
4310
 
4311
Minor changes:
4312
  * JATS environment
4313
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4314
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4315
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4316
 
4317
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4318
 
4319
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4320
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4321
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4322
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4323
    to be packaged.
4324
 
4325
  * Generated makefiles
4326
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4327
 
4328
  * Generating MOS THX files
4329
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4330
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4331
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4332
 
4333
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4334
 
4335
  * JATS release
4336
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4337
 
4338
  * JATS extract
4339
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4340
 
4341
  * JATS Toolset
4342
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4343
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4344

4349
Major changes:
4350
 
4351
Minor changes:
4352
  * jats label
4353
    Added a -vob=name option
4354
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4355
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4356
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4357
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4358
 
4359
    Added a -user=name option
4360
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4361
    label to the named user.
4362
 
4363
  * jats release
4364
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4365
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4366
 
4367
  * JATS build.pl
4368
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4369
    ie:
4370
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

4374
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4375
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4376
Major changes:
4377
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4378
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4379
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4380
    the makefile internals. ie:
4381
        --Var(BuildName)
4382
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4383
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4384
 
4385
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4386
 
4387
  * GenerateFiles
4388
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4389
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4390
 
4391
  * BuildPlatforms
4392
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4393
 
4394
Minor changes:
4395
  * GCC Toolset
4396
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4397
 
4398
Internal changes:
4399
  * GenerateFiles
4400
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4401
 
4402
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4403
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4404
 
4405
 
4406
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4407
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4409
Major changes:
4410
  * Caching JATS
4411
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4412
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4413
 
4414
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4415
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4416
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4417
 
4418
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4419
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4420
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4421
 
4422
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4423
 
4424
Minor changes:
4425
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4426
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4427
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4428
 
4429
  * jats build
4430
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4431
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4432
    processed by the build.
4433
 
4434
  * jats build
4435
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4436
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4437
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4438
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4439
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4440
 
4441
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4442
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4443
    Path is not specified.
4444
 
4445
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4446
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4447
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4448
        --Dir=$Pinc
4449
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4450
 
4451
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4452
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4453
    Windows platform.
4454
 
4455
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4456
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4457
            by 'purecov.
4458
 
4459
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4460
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4461
 
4462
        - OPTIONS=purify
4463
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4464
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4465
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4466

4470
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4471
Major changes:
4472
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4473
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4474
    Example:
4475
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4476
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4477
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4478
 
4479
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4480
    been determined.
4481
 
4482
Minor changes:
4483
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4484
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4485
    located at build-time.
4486
 
4487
  * Unix based systems
4488
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4489
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4490
 
4491
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4492
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4493
    driver being built.

4507
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
4508
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4509
 
4510
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4511
    dependancy information within a package.
4512
 
4513
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4514
    messages.

    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4524
 
4525
    GenerateFiles.
4526
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4527
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4528
                      be run on every invocation.
4529
 
4530
 
4531

4536
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4537
  There are two mechanism:
4538
 
4539
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4540
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4541
 
4542
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4543
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4544
 
4545
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4546
  default.
4547
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
4548
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

4554
  * SunWorks Toolset
4555
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4556
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4557
    It is based on machine type.
4558
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4559
 
4560
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4561
 
4562
Minor changes:
4563

4575
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
4576
    Removed the use of `uname`.
4577
 
4578

    field separator.
4587
 
4588
  * JATS eprog command

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4590
 
4591
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4592
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4593
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4594
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4595
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4596
 
4597
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4598
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4599
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232

        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4601
 
4602
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4603
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

Minor changes:
4618
  * JATS wrapper script
4619
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4620
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4621
    to setup links to system programs.
4622

4662
 
4663
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4664
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4665
    Theses are:
4666
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4667
        SOLARIS_AMD
4668
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4669
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4670
 
4671
Minor changes:
4672

4687
    messages
4688
 
4689
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4690
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4691
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4692
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4693

  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4701
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4702
    library without creating the body of the library:
4703
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4704
 
4705
 
4706
  * MOS toolsets
4707
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4708
    library without creating the body of the library:
4709
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4710
 
4711
  * JATS BIN directories
4712
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4713
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4714
    using autoconf.
4715
 
4716
  * Generate directive
4717
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4718
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4719
 
4720
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4721

4724
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4725
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4726
Major changes:
4727
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4728
    Initial release.
4729
 
4730
Minor changes:
4731
 
4732
 
4733
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4734
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4736
Major changes:
4737
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4738
    Initial release.
4739
 
4740
  * Packaging directives
4741
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4742
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4743
 
4744
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4745
        SOLARIS
4746
        WIN32
4747
 
4748
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4749
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4750
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4751
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4752
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4753
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4754
 
4755
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4756
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4757
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4758
 
4759
 
4760
Minor changes:
4761
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4762
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4763
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4764
 
4765
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4766
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4767
    location
4768
 
4769
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4770
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4771
 
4772
  * Utility genrc
4773
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4774
 
4775
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4776
    Added option: -new
4777
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4778
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4779
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4780
 
4781
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4782
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4783
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4784
 
4785
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4786
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4787
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4788
 
4789
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4790
   features - in a uniform manner.
4791
 
4792
 
4793
Internal Changes:
4794
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4795
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4796
 
4797
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4798
        1) Platform information available at build time
4799
        2) Dynamic platform names
4800
 
4801
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4802
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4803
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4804
 
4805
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4806
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4807
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4808
 
4809
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4810
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4811
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4812
    needed.
4813
 
4814
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4815
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4816
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4817
    files from all of these.
4818
 
4819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4820
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
4821
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4822
Major changes:
4823
 
4824
Minor changes:
4825
  * WinCE toolset
4826
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4827
 
4828
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4829
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4830
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4831
Major changes:
4832
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4833
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4834
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4835
 
4836
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4837
 
4838
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4839
    the operations.
4840
 
4841
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4842
 
4843
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4844
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4845
 
4846
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4847
 
4848
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4849
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4850
 
4851
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4852
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4853
    Extended the built-in help
4854
    Added useful error messages
4855
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4856
 
4857
  * WinCE toolset
4858
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4859
 
4860
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4861
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4862
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4863
 
4864
Minor changes:
4865
  * JATS wrapper script
4866
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4867
    the command line.
4868
 
4869
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4870
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4871
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4872
 
4873
Internal Changes:
4874
  * Common Error Reporting
4875
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4876
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4877
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4878
    level.
4879
 
4880
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4881
    displayed.
4882
 
4883
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4884
 
4885
  * Added JatsSystem module
4886
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4887
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4888
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
4889
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4890
Major changes:
4891
 
4892
Minor changes:
4893
  * BR Compiler toolset
4894
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4895
    .def files to include other files.
4896
 
4897
  * IAR toolset
4898
    Added AT7272 support
4899
 
4900
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4901
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4902
 
4903
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4904
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4905
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4906
Major changes:
4907
 
4908
Minor changes:
4909
  * BR Compiler toolset
4910
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4911
    use.
4912
 
4913
 
4914
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4915
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4916
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4917
Major changes:
4918
 
4919
Minor changes:
4920
  * Mictotec toolset
4921
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4922
    builds.
4923
 
4924
  * JATS Core
4925
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4926
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4927
    behaviour.
4928
 
4929
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4930
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4931
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4932
Major changes:
4933
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4934
    Deployment package will be affected.
4935
 
4936
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4937
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4938
 
4939
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4940
 
4941
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4942
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4943
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4944
    packages.
4945
 
4946
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4947
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4948
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4949
 
4950
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4951
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4952
 
4953
Minor changes:
4954
  * SubDir directive
4955
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4956
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4957
 
4958
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4959
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4960
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4961
    of the file usage.
4962
 
4963
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4964
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4965
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4966
 
4967
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4968
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4969
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4970
 
4971
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4972
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4973
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4974
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4975
 
4976
 
4977
Internal Changes:
4978
  * Code refactor
4979
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4980
 
4981
  * Deployment utilities
4982
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4983
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4984
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4985
    the module can locate the file.
4986
 
4987
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4988
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4989
 
4990
  * JATS core
4991
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4992
 
4993
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4994
 
4995
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4996
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4997
    through the use of environment variables.
4998
 
4999
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5000
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5001
 
5002
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5003
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5004
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5005
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5006
 
5007
  * Make environment
5008
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5009
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5010
 
5011
 
5012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5013
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5015
Major changes:
5016
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5017
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5018
 
5019
 
5020
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5021
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5022
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5023
 
5024
Not Released.
5025
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5026
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5027
 
5028
 
5029
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5030
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5031
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5032
Major changes:
5033
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5034
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5035
    radically replaced.
5036
 
5037
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5038
    Usage:
5039
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5040
 
5041
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5042
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5043
    this solution:
5044
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5045
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5046
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5047
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5048
 
5049
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5050
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5051
    order to work.
5052
 
5053
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5054
    reduced functionality.
5055
 
5056
 
5057
Minor changes:
5058
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5059
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5060
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5061
 
5062
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5063
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5064
    within the makefiles.
5065
        Options:
5066
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5067
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5068
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5069
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5070
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5071
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5072
        Useage:
5073
 
5074
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5075
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5076
 
5077
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5078
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5079
    is not in the current directory.
5080
 
5081
  * Jats Command: ant'
5082
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5083
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5084
 
5085
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5086
 
5087
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5088
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5089
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5090
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5091
 
5092
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5093
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5094
    Thus
5095
 
5096
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5097
 
5098
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5099
 
5100

5102
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5103
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5104
Major changes:
5105
 
5106
Minor changes:
5107
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5108
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5109
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5110
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5111
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5112
 
5113
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5114
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5115
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5116
 
5117
Internal changes:
5118
  * JATS toolsets
5119
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5120
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5121
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5122
 
5123
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5124
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5125

5127
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5129
Major changes:
5130
  * Jats command: etool
5131
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5132
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5133
 
5134
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5135
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5136
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5137
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5138
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5139
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5140
 
5141
Minor changes:
5142
 
5143
 
5144
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5145
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5146
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5147
Major changes:
5148
  * JATS environment variables
5149
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5150
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5151
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5152
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5153
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5154
 
5155
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5156
              Remote repository
5157
 
5158
    Added GBE_DPLY
5159
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5160
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5161
 
5162
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5163
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5164
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5165
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5166
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5167
 
5168
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5169
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5170
 
5171
 
5172
Minor changes:
5173
  * JATS utility: build
5174
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5175
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5176
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5177
 
5178
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5179
    Ensure label is not locked
5180
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5181
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5182
 
5183
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5184
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5185
    to a specific type of build.
5186
 
5187
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5188
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5189
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5190
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5191
 
5192
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5193
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5194
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5195
 
5196
  * JATS utility: release
5197
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5198
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5199
 
5200
  * JATS utility: label
5201
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5202
    when it is being created.
5203
 
5204
Internal Changes
5205
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5206
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5207
 
5208
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5209
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5210
 
5211
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5212
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5213
    different results.
5214
 
5215
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5216
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5217
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5218
 
5219
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5220
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5221
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5222
Major changes:
5223
 
5224
  * MCR toolset
5225
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5226
 
5227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5228
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5229
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5230
Major changes:
5231
  * WIN32 utilities
5232
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5233
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5234
 
5235
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5236
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5237
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5238
 
5239
Minor changes:
5240
  * BuildVersion
5241
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5242
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5243
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5244
 
5245
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5246
 
5247
  * Unix Builds
5248
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5249
    library or a shared library.
5250
 
5251
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5252
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5253
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5254
    start with 'lib'.
5255
 
5256
  * BuildPkgArchive
5257
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5258
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5259
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5260
 
5261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5262
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5263
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5264
Major changes:
5265
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5266
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5267
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5268
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5269
    being manually maintained.
5270
 
5271
 
5272
Minor changes:
5273
  * MakeAnt directive
5274
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5275
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5276
    supports ANT builds.
5277
 
5278
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5279
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5280
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5281
 
5282
  * Label utility
5283
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5284
    files to be labeled.
5285
 
5286
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5287
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5288
    on Solaris.
5289
 
5290
  * Generated makefiles
5291
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5292
    nothing.
5293
 
5294
  * MOS Toolset
5295
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5296
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5297
    modules.
5298
 
5299
  * Utility: gen_cots
5300
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5301
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5302
 
5303
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5304
 
5305
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5306
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5307
 
5308
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5309
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5310
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5311
Major changes:
5312
  None
5313
 
5314
Minor changes:
5315
  * DEVI addressed
5316
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5317
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5318
 
5319
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5320
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5321
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5322
 
5323
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5324
 
5325
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5326
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5327
 
5328
  * RunTest directive
5329
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5330
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5331
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5332
 
5333
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5334
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5335
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5336
    packaged under JATS
5337
 
5338
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5339
          supported within JATS.
5340
 
5341
  * Jats utility wrapper
5342
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5343
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5344
 
5345
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5346
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5347
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5348
 
5349
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5350
    Eg: jats ant
5351
 
5352
  * Jats utility wrapper
5353
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5354
 
5355
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5356
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5357
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5358
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5359
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5360
 
5361
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5362
    expect a build.pl file.
5363
 
5364
  * Jats utility wrapper
5365
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5366
 
5367
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5368
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5369
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5370
 
5371
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5372
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5373
 
5374
  * Build files
5375
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5376
    ERG extensions.
5377
 
5378
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5379
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5380
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5381
Major changes:
5382
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5383
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5384
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5385
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5386
 
5387
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5388
 
5389
Minor changes:
5390
  * None
5391
 
5392
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5393
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5394
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5395
Major changes:
5396
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5397
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5398
    ie:
5399
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5400
 
5401
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5402
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5403
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5404
    environments are compatible.
5405
 
5406
 
5407
Minor changes:
5408
  * BuildName option
5409
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5410
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5411
 
5412
  * jats.bat
5413
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5414
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5415
 
5416
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5417
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5418
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5419
Major changes:
5420
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5421
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5422
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5423
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5424
 
5425
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5426
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5427
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5428
 
5429
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5430
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5431
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5432
 
5433
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5434
    transferred.
5435
 
5436
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5437
    See notes below.
5438
 
5439
  * WIN32 toolset
5440
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5441
    correctly.
5442
 
5443
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5444
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5445
 
5446
  * BuildVersion
5447
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5448
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5449
    other langauges as needed.
5450
 
5451
 
5452
Minor changes:
5453
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5454
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5455
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5456
    version strings.
5457
 
5458
  * GenerateFiles directive
5459
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5460
    package or an imported package.
5461
 
5462
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5463
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5464
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5465
 
5466
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5467
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5468
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5469
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5470
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5471
 
5472
Internal Changes
5473
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5474
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5475
    of utilities.
5476
 
5477
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5478
    functions.
5479
 
5480
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5481
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5482
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5483
Major changes:
5484
  * Generated makefiles
5485
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5486
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5487
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5488
 
5489
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5490
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5491
    incorrectly processing:
5492
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5493
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5494
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5495
    confused.
5496
 
5497
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5498
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5499
    The construct
5500
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5501
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5502
    then it works.
5503
 
5504
  * MakeAnt directive
5505
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5506
 
5507
    This option has the following effects
5508
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5509
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5510
 
5511
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5512
           early - in the generated files phase.
5513
 
5514
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5515
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5516
 
5517
 
5518
Minor changes:
5519
  * JATS post-installation script
5520
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5521
 
5522
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5523
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5524
    windows.
5525
 
5526
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5527
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5528
 
5529
  * Jats wrapper script
5530
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5531
        1) Contain spaces
5532
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5533
 
5534
  * Toolset
5535
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5536
 
5537
  * JAVA toolset
5538
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5539
    directive:
5540
 
5541
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5542
 
5543
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5544
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5545
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5546
 
5547
  * GCC Toolset
5548
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5549
 
5550
  * Makefile generation
5551
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5552
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5553
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5554
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5555
    package could not be used.
5556
 
5557
  * Unit Tests
5558
    The following environment variables are set:
5559
 
5560
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5561
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5562
 
5563
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5564
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5565
 
5566
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5567
 
5568
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5569
 
5570
 
5571

5572
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5573
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5574
Major changes:
5575
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5576
 
5577
    Special features of this toolset.
5578
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5579
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5580
       incorporated within the target image.
5581
 
5582
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5583
       --Set=Name=Value
5584
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5585
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5586
 
5587
       --Ref=name
5588
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5589
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5590
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5591
                will be taken from the build version number.
5592
 
5593
Minor changes:
5594
  * MOS Toolset
5595
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5596
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5597
    packaged.
5598
 
5599
  * Src directive
5600
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5601
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5602
    specifier.
5603
 
5604
  * WIN32 runtime support
5605
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5606
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5607
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5608
 
5609
Internal:
5610
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5611
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5612
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5613
 
5614
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5615
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5616
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5617
Major changes:
5618
    * BuildAlias directive
5619
      Added options.
5620
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5621
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5622
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5623
                          targets.
5624
      Eg:
5625
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5626
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5627
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5628
 
5629
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5630
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5631
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5632
 
5633
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5634
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5635
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5636
 
5637
 
5638
Minor changes:
5639
  * Label utility
5640
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5641
    build.pl file
5642
 
5643
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5644
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5645
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5646
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5647
    --FilterIn option.
5648
 
5649
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5650
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5651
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5652
 
5653
  * Location of descpkg file
5654
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5655
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5656
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5657
 
5658
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5659
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5661
Major changes:
5662
  * RunTest directive
5663
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5664
    Additional options
5665
      --CopyIn=file
5666
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5667
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5668
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5669
        the test area.
5670
 
5671
    Additional operations
5672
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5673
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5674
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5675
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5676
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5677
    Allows flags:
5678
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5679
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5680
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5681
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5682
 
5683
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5684
    existence is tested.
5685
 
5686
  * Packaging Directives
5687
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5688
    such as LMOS.
5689
 
5690
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5691
 
5692
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5693
 
5694
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5695
 
5696
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5697
 
5698
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5699
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5700
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5701
 
5702
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5703
 
5704
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5705
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5706
 
5707
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5708
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5709
 
5710
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5711
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5712
 
5713
Minor changes:
5714
  * Script directive
5715
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5716
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5717
 
5718
  * JATS environment
5719
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5720
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5721
    the JATS wrapper script.
5722
 
5723
  * Label utility
5724
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5725
    There are three modes of operation:
5726
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5727
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5728
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5729
 
5730
 
5731
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5732
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5733
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5734
Major changes:
5735
 
5736
Minor changes:
5737
  * label utility
5738
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5739
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5740
 
5741
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5742
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5743
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5744
      --ProgLoader=name
5745
 
5746
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5747
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5748
    Options to do this are:
5749
        --TreeDir=name
5750
        --FilterOut=regexp
5751
        --FilterIn=regexp
5752
        --StripDir
5753
 
5754
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5755
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5756
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5757
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5758
 
5759
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5760
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5761
 
5762
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5763
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5764
 
5765
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5766
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5767
 
5768
 
5769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5770
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5771
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5772
Major changes:
5773
    * Make commands
5774
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5775
 
5776
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5777
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5778
 
5779
    * Label utility
5780
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5781
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5782
 
5783
Minor changes:
5784
    * Toolsets
5785
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5786
      variables and overrides.
5787
 
5788
      The make_init target is always run.
5789
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5790
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5791
 
5792
    * Deployment
5793
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5794
      with deployment operations.
5795
 
5796
    * Release utility
5797
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5798
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5799
      restricted by options within the build.
5800
 
5801
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5802
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5803
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5804
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5805
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5806
 
5807
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5808
      directives.
5809
 
5810
    * MakeProject directive
5811
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5812
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5813
 
5814
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5815
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5816
      is preserved.
5817
 
5818
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5819
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5820
      statements.
5821
 
5822
    * Mugfile generation
5823
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5824
      be placed in the target package.
5825
 
5826
 
5827
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5828
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5830
Major changes:
5831
    * BuildVersion directive
5832
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5833
      number as well as a patch number.
5834
 
5835
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5836
      number.
5837
 
5838
Minor changes:
5839
    * AddFlags directives
5840
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5841
      duplicate flags being added.
5842
 
5843
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5844
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5845
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5846
 
5847
    * Mug File Generation
5848
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5849
 
5850
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5851
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5852
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5853
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5854
     directory.
5855
 
5856
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5857
     reproducible.
5858
 
5859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5860
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5861
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5862
Major changes:
5863
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5864
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5865
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5866
      longer a list of directories.
5867
 
5868
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5869
      done within the toolset.
5870
 
5871
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5872
 
5873
    * JATS environment variables
5874
      Redefined variable
5875
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5876
                          Previously was a list that included the
5877
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5878
 
5879
      New variable
5880
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5881
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5882
 
5883
 
5884
Minor changes:
5885
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5886
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5887
      target platforms to be extracted.
5888
 
5889
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5890
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5891
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5892
 
5893
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5894
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5895
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5896
 
5897
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5898
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5899
 
5900
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5901
      Support ANT based XML files
5902
 
5903
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5904
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5905
      structure.
5906
 
5907
    * makefile.pl's
5908
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5909
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5910
 
5911
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5912
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5913
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5914
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5915
 
5916
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5917
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5918
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5919
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5920
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5921
      -- Auto.
5922
 
5923
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5924
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5925
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5926
 
5927
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5928
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5929
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5930
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5931
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5932
 
5933
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5934
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5935
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5936
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5937
      installed on the machine.
5938
 
5939
    * WINCE Targets
5940
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5941
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect

5947
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5948
Major changes:
5949
    * WIN32 platforms
5950
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5951
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5952
      and installed packages.
5953
 
5954
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5955
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5956
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5957
 
5958
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5959
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5960
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5961
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5962
      searched when looking for libraries.
5963
 
5964
Minor changes:
5965
    * GenerateFiles directive
5966
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5967
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5968
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5969
                          and drive letter
5970
 
5971
    * Src directive
5972
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5973
      directory of a package.
5974
 
5975
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5976
 
5977
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5978
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5979
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5980
 
5981
    * jats_rewrite utility
5982
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5983
 
5984
 
5985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5986
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5987
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5988
Major changes:
5989
    * SunWorks production builds
5990
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5991
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5992
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5993
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5994
      compiler documentation.
5995
 
5996
    * MOS Toolset
5997
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5998
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5999
 
6000
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6001
 
6002
Minor changes:
6003
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6004
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6005
      This should not affect current users.
6006
 
6007
    * Mugfile generation
6008
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6009
      specified.
6010
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6011

6013
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6015
Major changes:
6016
    MOS Toolset
6017
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6018
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6019
 
6020
Minor changes:
6021
    * Jats wrapper script
6022
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6023
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6024
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6025
 
6026
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6027
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6028
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6029
      may be suspect.
6030
 
6031
    * GenerateFiles directive
6032
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6033
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6034
 
6035
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6036
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6037
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6038
Major changes:
6039
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6040
      build.xml files.
6041
 
6042
Minor changes:
6043
    * WIN32 toolset.
6044
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6045
 
6046
    * MakeAnt
6047
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6048
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6049
 
6050
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6051
 
6052
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6053
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6054
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6055
 
6056
    * MakeAnt directive
6057
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6058
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6059
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6060
 
6061
      Recommended usage:
6062
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6063
 
6064
Internal Changes
6065
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6070
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6071
Major changes:
6072
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6073
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6074
      files packaged into the release.
6075
 
6076
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6077

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6080
 
6081
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6082
      The recommended platform is:
6083
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6084
 
6085
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6086
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6087
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6088
      components.
6089
 
6090
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

6094
 
6095
Minor changes:
6096
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6097
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6098
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6099
      by the package to be accessed.
6100
 
6101
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6102
      application or visual studio.
6103
 
6104
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6105
      and the JATS Core path.
6106
 
6107
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6108
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6109
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6110
 
6111
    * MOS Toolset
6112
      Add support for the TPT device
6113
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6114
 
6115
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6116
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6117
 
6118
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6119
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6120
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6121
 
6122
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6123
 
6124
Internal Changes
6125
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6126
      in jats.pl
6127
 
6128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6129
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6131
Major changes:
6132
    * JATS wrapper script
6133
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6134
 
6135
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6136
 
6137
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6138
 
6139
Minor changes:
6140
    * Deployment support
6141
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6142
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6143
 
6144
    * 'build'
6145
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6146
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6147
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6148
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6149
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6150
 
6151
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6152
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6153
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6154
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6155
                                      the link phase.
6156
 
6157
    * BuildPkgArchive
6158
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6159
      Previously these were ignored.
6160
      Minor code cleanup
6161
 
6162
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6163
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6164
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6165
 
6166
    * SOLARIS targets
6167
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6168
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6169
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6170
 
6171
    * MugFile generation
6172
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6173
      included in the final package.
6174
 
6175
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6176
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6177
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6178
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6179
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6180
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6181
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6182
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6183
 
6184
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6185
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6186
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6187
            --Option=(some_text)
6188
            --Option=[some_text]
6189
            --Option={some_text}
6190
 
6191
Internal Changes
6192
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6193
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6194
      code.
6195
 
6196

6197
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6198
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6199
Major changes:
6200
    * JATS wrapper script
6201
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6202
 
6203
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6204
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6205
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6206
      other components.
6207
 
6208
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6209
 
6210
    * JATS
6211
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6212
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6213
 
6214
    * Build operations
6215
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6216
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6217
      packages.
6218
 
6219
    * Make operations
6220
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6221
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6222
 
6223
Minor changes:
6224
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6225
      deployment builds.
6226
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6227
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6228
 
6229
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6230
 
6231
    * build.pl
6232
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6233
        processed. Allows
6234
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6235
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6236
        production.
6237
 
6238
    * MOS toolset
6239
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6240
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6241
 
6242
    * create_dpkg utility
6243
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6244
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6245
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6246
      progress of the build.
6247
 
6248
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6249
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6250
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6251
      system.
6252

6255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6256
Major changes:
6257
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6258
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6259
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6260
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6261
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6262
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6263
 
6264
    * WCEX86A500 target
6265
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6266
 
6267
    * MOS Toolsets
6268
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6269
      the compiler.
6270
 
6271
    * RunTest directive
6272
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6273
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6274
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6275
 
6276
Minor changes:
6277
    * JATS BUILD
6278
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6279
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6280
      highlight bad settings.
6281
 
6282
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6283
      access to extensions.
6284
 
6285

6299
        o Delete a label
6300
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6301
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6302
 
6303
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6304
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6305
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6306
      Package directives.
6307
 
6308
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6309
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6310
      system.
6311
 
6312
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6315
Major changes:
6316
    * MOS Toolset
6317
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6318
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6319
 
6320
    * WIN32 Toolset
6321
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6322
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6323
      list.
6324
 
6325
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6326
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6327
 
6328
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6329
 
6330
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6331
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6332
 
6333
 
6334
Minor changes:
6335
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6336
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6337
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6338
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6339
      corrected.
6340
 
6341
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6342
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6343
 
6344
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6345
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6346
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.

Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6351
Major changes:
6352
    * WIN32 Toolset
6353
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6354
      use with multithreaded modes.
6355
 
6356
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6357
      --OnlyProd.
6358
 
6359
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6360
      within the makefile.pl.
6361
 
6362
Minor changes:
6363
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6364
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6365
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6366
      platforms.
6367
 
6368
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6369
 
6370
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6371
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6372
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6373
Major changes:
6374
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6375
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6376
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6377
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6378
 
6379
    * Preliminary Support
6380
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6381
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6382
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6383
 
6384
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6385
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6386
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6387
 
6388
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6389
      building. The default build will build both.
6390
 
6391
Minor changes:
6392
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6393
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6394
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6395
 
6396
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6397
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6398
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6399
 
6400
 
6401
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6402
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6403
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6404
Major changes:
6405
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6406
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6407
      or all.
6408
 
6409
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6410
      the library or program.
6411
 
6412
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6413
 
6414
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6415
      library or any debug files.
6416
 
6417
    * GenerateFiles
6418
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6419
 
6420
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6421
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6422
 
6423
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6424
              The filename of the prereq file
6425
 
6426
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6427
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6428
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6429
 
6430
 
6431
Minor changes:
6432
    * create_dpkg utility
6433
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6434
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6435
      the package has been altered.
6436
 
6437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6438
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6440
Major changes:
6441
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6442
      This is a WINCE target
6443
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6444
 
6445
    * New toolset
6446
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6447
 
6448
    * Modified toolset
6449
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6450
 
6451
    * Modified toolset
6452
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6453
 
6454
Minor changes:
6455
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6456
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6457
 
6458
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6459
 
6460
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6461
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6462
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6463
 
6464
      The change allows the construct
6465
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6466
      to be replaced by the simpler
6467
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6468
 
6469
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6470
      specified name.    
6471

6476
Major changes:
6477
    * Dependancy generator
6478
      Extend the number of header files that can be included
6479
      to allow for 4096 included files.

6490
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6491
Major changes:
6492
    * The "package.pl" file.
6493
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6494
      package name being taken from the build name
6495
 
6496
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6497
      package Build Name.
6498
 
6499
Minor changes:
6500
    * create_dpkg utility
6501
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
6502
 
6503

6506
Major changes:
6507
 
6508
Minor changes:
6509
    * Dependancy generator
6510
      Correct two common situations
6511
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6512
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6513
           ansi, but is often done.
6514
 
6515
    * GCC toolset
6516
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6517
      being created in the correct place.
6518
 
6519
    * jats "label"
6520
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6521
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6522
 
6523
 
6524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6525
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6527
Major changes:
6528
 
6529
Minor changes:
6530
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6531
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6532
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6533
 
6534
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6535
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6536
 
6537
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6538
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6539
      package was not being transferred.
6540
 
6541
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6542
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6543
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6544
Major changes:
6545
    * Support for solaris_i386
6546
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6547
      binaries for this target.
6548
 
6549
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6550
      with the GCC compiler.
6551
 
6552
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6553
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6554
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6555
 
6556
Minor changes:
6557
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6558
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6559
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6560
 
6561
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6562
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6563
 
6564
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6565
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6566
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6567
Major changes:
6568
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6569
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6570
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6571
 
6572
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6573
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6574
 
6575
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6576
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6577
      with either " or ' characters.
6578
 
6579
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6580
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6581
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6582
 
6583
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6584
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6585
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6586
 
6587
    * Jats wrapper
6588
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6589
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6590
      further commands.
6591
 
6592
Minor changes:
6593
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6594
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6595
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6596
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6597
 
6598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6599
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6601
Major changes:
6602
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6603
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6604
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6605
 
6606
      These options operation affect all components within the
6607
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6608
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6609
 
6610
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6611
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6612
 
6613
Minor changes:
6614
 
6615
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6616
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6617
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6618
Major changes:
6619
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6620
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6621
 
6622
Minor changes:
6623
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6624
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6625
 
6626
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6627
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6628
 
6629
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6630
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6631
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6632
Major changes:
6633
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6634
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6635
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6636
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6637
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6638
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6639
      installed.
6640
 
6641
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6642
      libraries that depend on each other.
6643
 
6644
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6645
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6646
 
6647
Minor changes:
6648
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6649
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6650
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6651
 
6652
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6653
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6654
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6655
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6656
 
6657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6658
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6659
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6660
Major changes:
6661
 
6662
Minor changes:
6663
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6664
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6665
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6666
      file.
6667
 
6668
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6669
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6670
 
6671
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6672
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6673
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6674
 
6675
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6676
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6677
 
6678
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6679
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6680
 
6681
    * WinCE toolsets
6682
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6683
      compiler specific libraries.
6684
 
6685
    * SOLARIS toolset
6686
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6687
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6688
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6689
 
6690
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6691
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6692
      cleaned up.
6693
 
6694
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6695
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6696
 
6697
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6698
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6699
      with either " or ' characters.

6704
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6705
Major changes:
6706
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6707
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6708
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6709
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6710
 
6711
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6712
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6713
 
6714
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6715
      user.
6716
 
6717
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6718
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6719
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6720
 
6721
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6722
      for the   -Gf option.
6723
 
6724
Minor changes:
6725
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6726
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6727
 
6728
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6729
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6730
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6731
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6732
 
6733

6734
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6736
Major changes:
6737
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6738
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6739
 
6740
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6741
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6742
      data addresses for the board.
6743
 
6744
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6745
 
6746
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6747
 
6748
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6749
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6750
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6751
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6752
         PackageFile
6753
 
6754
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6755
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6756
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6757
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6758
 
6759
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6760
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6761
      to be installed and packaged.
6762
 
6763
Minor changes:
6764
 
6765
    * cache_dpkg utility
6766
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6767
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6768
 
6769
    * label utility
6770
      New option -auto to create and label
6771
 
6772
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6773
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6774
 
6775
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6776
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6777
      directory. ie:
6778
 
6779
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6780
 
6781
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6782
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6783
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6784
 
6785
 
6786
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6787
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6788
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6789
Major changes:
6790
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6791
 
6792
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6793
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6794
 
6795
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6796
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6797
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6798
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6799
 
6800
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6801
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6802
      compilation.
6803
 
6804
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6805
 
6806
Minor changes:
6807
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6808
      one is being produced.
6809
 
6810
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6811
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6812
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6813
 
6814
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6815
 
6816
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6817
 
6818
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6819
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6820
 
6821
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6822
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6823
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6824
Major changes:
6825
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6826
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6827
 
6828
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6829
 
6830
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6831
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6832
      same directory
6833
 
6834
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6835
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6836
      documenattion.
6837
 
6838
Minor changes:
6839
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6840
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6841
 
6842
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6843
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6844
 
6845
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6846
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6847
 
6848
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6849
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6850
 
6851
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6852
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6853
      be exempt from this test.
6854
 
6855
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6856
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6857
 
6858
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6859
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6860
 
6861
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6862
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6863
      does.
6864
 
6865
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6866
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6867
 
6868
 
6869
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6870
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6871
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6872
Major changes:
6873
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6874
 
6875
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6876
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6877
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6878
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6879
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6880
 
6881
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6882
      operations.
6883
 
6884
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6885
 
6886
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6887
 
6888
Minor changes
6889
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6890
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6891
 
6892
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6893
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6894
      directory is not added to the library path.
6895
 
6896
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6897
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6898
 
6899
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6900
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6901
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6902
 
6903
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6904
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6905
      specific flags.
6906
 
6907
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6908
 
6909
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6910
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6911
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6912
 
6913
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6914
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6915
      JATS.
6916
 
6917
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6918
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6919
 
6920
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6921
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6922
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6923
 
6924
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6925
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6926
 
6927
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6928
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6929
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6930
 
6931
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6932
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6933
 
6934
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6935
 
6936
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6937
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6938
 
6939
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6940
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6941
      objects.
6942
 
6943
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6944
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6945
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6946
      build defendants.
