7
    * Unit Testing. Run the collate test results target only once.
8
 
9
    * Jats build option: -[no]generic
10
      To be used by the build system to verify correct usage of the 
11
      GENERIC platform type.

Version:  3.5.9000.cr                               Released: 04-Dec-14
18
------------------------------------------------------------------------
19
Minor changes:
20
    * New build Alias - NATIVE
21
      NATIVE is a set of platforms, in the current build, which build 
22
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
23
 
24
      The NATIVE alias has been created to simplify the support
25
      for automated unit tests.
26
 
4837 dpurdie 27
    * New build platform - UBUNTU12_INSTRUMENT
4728 dpurdie 28
      This build target is similar to UBUNTU12, except that it 
29
      generates instrumented code with gcov. The platform's unit tests 
30
      will create and maintain a set of lcov files.
31
 
4837 dpurdie 32
      Packages generated with this target SHOULD NOT be deployed 
33
      to the field.

4652 dpurdie 37
------------------------------------------------------------------------
38
Minor changes:
39
    * Build System Utility: create_dpkg
4688 dpurdie 40
      When creating the file list for release notes, convert filenames 
41
      to utf-8 for consistent handling.
4652 dpurdie 42
 
43
      Will add its own 'built' files to the package metadata file.
44
 
45
    * VS2012 Toolset
46
      [JATS-308] Running jats from VS2012 Developer command prompt
47
 
4688 dpurdie 48
    * EnvVars
49
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
50
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
51
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
52
 
53
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
54
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
55
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
56
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
57
 
58
    * Jats caching
59
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
60
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed
61
      up jats startup.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
84
Minor changes:
85
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
86
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
87
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
88
 
89
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
90
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
91
 
92
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
93
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
94
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
95
 
96
    * Jats Internal: Database access
97
      Rebuilt the database access tools using Java 1.4

      Added support for a compiler to be provided through a package.
365
      Specifically implemented to allow Android
366
 
367
Minor changes:
368
    * BuildName directive
369
      Force '--RelaxedVersion' on COTS packages that have exactly 3 arguments.
370
 
371
    * Sandbox utility
4036 dpurdie 372
      Fixed use of a 'buildfilter' file in the sandbox directory.
4034 dpurdie 373
 
374
    * GCC Toolchain - General
4036 dpurdie 375
      When building a shared library, all unresolved symbols will generate
4034 dpurdie 376
      a warning.

Major changes:
382
 
383
Minor changes:
384
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
385
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
386
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
387
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
388
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
389
 
390
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
391
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

396
Major changes:
397
 
398
Minor changes:
399
    * Utility: update_release
400
      Added options:
401
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
402
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
403
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
404
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
405
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
406
      Report filter elements that are not used.
407
 
408
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
409
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
410
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
411
 
412
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
413
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
417
------------------------------------------------------------------------
418
Major changes:
419
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
420
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
421
      intended to build deployed software.
422
 
423
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
424
      the DEVLINUX alias.
425
 
426
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
427
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
428
 
429
Minor changes:
430
    * Jats wrapper script
431
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
432
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
433
      Subversion instance of the command.
434
 
435
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
436
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
437
 
438
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
439
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
440
 
441
    * Utility: jats upddep
442
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
443
      file under windows.
444
 
445
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
446
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
447
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
448
 
449
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
450
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
451
 
452
    * GCC Toolchain
453
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
469
Major changes:
470
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
471
      Support for Intellect PAX.
472
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
473
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
474
 
475
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
476
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

3559 dpurdie 485
 
486
Minor changes:
487
    * Utility: jats sandbox
488
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
489
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
490
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
491
      line.
492
 
493
    * Jats Configuration
494
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
495
 
496
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
497
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
498
      and Linux.
499
 
500
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
501
      correctly rippled.

506
Major changes:
507
 
508
Minor changes:
509
    * Jats Core
510
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
511
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
512
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
513
 
514
    * Utility: svnsave_build
515
      Used only by the build daemons.
516
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
517
 
518
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
519
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
520
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
525
Major changes:
526
 
527
Minor changes:
528
    * svnrelease utility
529
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
530
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
531
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
532
 
533
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
534
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
535
      the named tag.
536
 
537
    * svnrelease utility
538
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
539
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
549
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
550
        covered by the makefile.
551
 
552
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
553
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
554
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
555
 
556
    * ALL Toolsets
557
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
558
 
559
    * Utility vcsdiff
560
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
561
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
562
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
570
    * Subversion Extraction
571
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
572
      directory of the tag.
573
 
574
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
575
      repository.
576
 
577
    * Subversion Support
578
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
579
      showing the user what to do.
580
 
581
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
582
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
583
      we have build support for this target.
584
 
585
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
586
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
587
 
588
Internal:
589
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
590
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
591
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
592
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Minor changes:
609
    * Makefile generation
610
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
611
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
612
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
613
      of warnings.
614
 
615
    * Makefile Generation
616
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
617
 
618

------------------------------------------------------------------------
625
Major changes:
626
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
627
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
628
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
629
      these operations with a dedicated program.
630
 
631
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
632
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
633
      windows path scheme.
634
 
635
Minor changes:
636
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
637
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
638
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
639
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
640
 
641
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
642
        jats make clobber
643
      This operates as before.
644
 
645
    * Utility: escrow
646
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
647
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
648
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
649
 
650
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
651
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
652
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
653
 
654
    * Utility: svn : url
655
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
656
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
657
 
658
    * Utility: svn : import
659
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
660
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
661
 
662
    * Subversion Support
663
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
664
      showing the user what to do.
665
 
666
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
667
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
668
      repositories.

673
 
674
Minor changes:
675
    * Jats build
676
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
677
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
678
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
679
 
680
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 681
      command, with a sandbox.

693
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
694
                 Can also display available branches.
695
 
2054 dpurdie 696
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

701
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
702
 
703
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
704
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
705
      Modified two options:
706
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
707
                        The named branch must not exist
708
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
709
                        The named branch must exist
710
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

747
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
748
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
749
      significantly.

        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
767
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
768
 
769
Minor changes:
770
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
771
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
772
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
773
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
774
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
775
 
776
    * Utility: svnsave_build
777
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
778
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
779
 
780
    * Linux support utilities
781
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
782
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
783
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

787
------------------------------------------------------------------------
788
Major changes:
789
    * Subversion Repository location
790
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
791
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
792
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
793
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
794
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
795
 
796
Minor changes:
797
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
798
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
799
 
800
    * Utility: svnrelease
801
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
802
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
803
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
804
 
805
    * Utility: svnsave_build
806
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
807
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
808
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
809
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
810
 
811
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
812
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
813

      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
816
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
817
 
818
      Subcommand: populate
819
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
820
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
821
      sandbox.
822
 
823
    * Subversion Support
824
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
825
      repository is not supported.
826
 
827
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
828
      a progress indication.
829
 
830
    * Jats Online Documentation
831
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
832
      online documentation.
833
 
834
    * Generated makefiles
835
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

883
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 884
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 885
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
886
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
887

------------------------------------------------------------------------
912
Major changes:
913
 
914
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
915
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
916
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
917
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
918
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
919
 
920
    * C# Toolchain
921
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

931
 
932
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
933
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
934
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
935
 
936
    * Utility ccrelease
937
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
938
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
939
 
940
    * Utility: svn
941
      Improved package import processing.
942
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
970
Major changes:
971
 
972
Minor changes:
973
    * Command: jats clobber
974
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
975
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
976
 
977
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
978
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
979
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
980
 
981
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
982
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
983
 
377 dpurdie 984
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
985
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
986
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 987
 
988
    * jats svnlabel
989
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
990
 
991
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
992
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
993
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
994
 
995
    * Built Daemon support
996
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
997
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
998

373 dpurdie 1000
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
1001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1002
Major changes:
1003
    * GCC Toolset
1004
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1005
      New methodology is:
1006
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1007
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1008
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1009
        as the main binary.
1010
 
1011
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1012
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1013
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1014
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1015
      both worlds.
1016
 
1017
Minor changes:
1018
    * HTML Documentation
1019
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1020
 
1021
Internal changes:
1022
    * Generated makefiles

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1029
Major changes:
1030
    * Jats Sandbox
1031
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1032
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1033
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1034
 
1035
    * RIORDS Platform
1036
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

      Platform is RIORDS. This uses the MSP430 toolchain.
369 dpurdie 1055
      Beta release of this toolchain
1056
 
1057
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1058
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
1059
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1060
 
1061
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1062
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1063
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1064
      a vob.
1065
 
1066
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

1098
      viewtag, even if the view has been deleted from disk.
1099
 
1100
    * Jats startup
1101
      Jats will report an error if started in a directory that is inaccessible
1102
      to the user. An error will also be report if jats is directed to change to
1103
      in inaccessible directory.
1104

Minor changes:
1129
    * Utility: cclabel
1130
      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
1131
      the clearcase label.
1132
 
1133
    * Subversion support

1143
 
1144
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
1145
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
1146
 
1147
Minor changes:
1148
    * HTML Help
1149
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1150
 
1151
    * jats build -noforce
1152
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1153
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1154
      be forced.
1155
 
1156
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1157
 
1158
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1159
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1160
 
1161
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1162
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1163
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1164
 
1165
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1166
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1167
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1168
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1169
 
1170

      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
1569
 
1570
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
1571
 
1572
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
1573
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
1574
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

331 dpurdie 1577
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
1578
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1579
Major changes:
1580
 
1581
Minor changes:
1582
    * Jats label command
1583
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1584
      Not recommended for general use.
1585
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
1586
      directories within the current view.
1587
 
1588
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1589
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1590
      elsewhere.
1591
 
1592
    * Jats save_build
1593
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1594
      the determination of a branch.
1595
 
1596
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1597
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1598
 
1599
    * Jats build
1600
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1601
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1602
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1603
 
1604
    * Borland6 toolset
1605
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1606
      to match the documented install location of:
1607
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1608
 
1609
    * Jats build
1610
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1611
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1612
      This is a very quick operation.
1613
 
1614
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1615
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1616
 
1617
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1618
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1619
      files are only recreated if need be.
1620
 
1621
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1622
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1623
      make the package.
1624
 
1625
    * Jats sandbox
1626
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1627
 
1628
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1629
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1630
 
1631
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1632
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1633
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1634
      is performed.
1635
 
1636
Internal:
1637
    * build.pl
1638
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl            
1639

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1670
Major changes:
1671
 
1672
Minor changes:
1673
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1674
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1675
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1676
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1677
 
1678
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1679
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1680
 
1681
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1682
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1683
      platform builds.
1684
 
1685
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1686
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1687
      directory tree.
1688
 
1689
    * New command: jats man
1690
      Produces full help on a specified item.
1691
 
1692
Internal changes:
1693
    * jats upddep
1694
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
1695
 
1696
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
1697
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined

323 dpurdie 1701
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
1702
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1703
Major changes:
1704
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1705
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1706
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1707
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1708
 
1709
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1710
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1711
 
1712
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1713
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1714
 
1715
      Examples:
1716
            jats upddep -show
1717
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1718
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1719
 
1720
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1721
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1722
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1723
 
1724
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1725
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1726
 
1727
Minor changes:
1728
 
1729
Internal changes:
1730
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
1731
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
1735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1736
Major changes:
1737
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1738
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1739
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1740
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1741
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1742
      stream.
1743
 
1744
      Example:
1745
 
1746
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1747
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1748
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1749
                     );
1750
Minor changes:
1751
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1752
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1753
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1754
      directive.
1755
 
1756
    * GCC Toolkit
1757
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1758
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1759
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1760
      the point of termination.
1761
 
1762
    * Jats save_build utility
1763
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1764
      under windows.
1765
 
1766
    * Jats sandbox
1767
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1768
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1769
      in different sandboxes.
1770
 
1771
    * Jats release
1772
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1773

Minor changes:
1780
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1781
      Added -locatedir=name
1782
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1783
      directory.
1784
 
1785
    * jats label utility
1786
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1787
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1788
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1789
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1790
 
1791
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

Minor changes:
1799
    * WinCe Toolsets
1800
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1801
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1802
        noExceptions            - Disable
1803
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1804
      Example:
1805
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1806
 
1807
    * Solaris targets
1808
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1809
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1810
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1811
      machine type.

1815
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1816
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1817
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1818
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1819
      project files.
1820
 
1821
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1822
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1823
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1824
 
1825
Minor changes:
1826
    * Added more internal documentation
1827
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1828
 
1829
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1830
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1831
 
1832
    * Jats save_build utility
1833
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1834
      under windows.
1835
 
1836
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1837
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1838
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1839
      libraries.
1840
 
1841
    * Solaris builds
1842
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1843
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1844
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1845
      of the build failure.
1846
 
1847
 
1848
Internal changes:
1849
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1850
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1851
 
1852
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1853
      PkgArchive topics.

1857
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1858
Major changes:
1859
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1860
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1861
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1862
      existing 32-bit builds.
1863
 
1864
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1865
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1866
 
1867
Minor changes:
1868
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1869
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1870
 
1871
    * Package searching
1872
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1873
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1874
 
1875
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1876
 
1877
    * jats help
1878
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1879
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1880
 
1881
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1882
      with one of:
1883
        jats -h
1884
        jats help jats
1885
 
1886
Internal:
1887
    * cmdfile utility
1888
      Added macros:
1889
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1890
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1891
 
1892
      Corrected
1893
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)

        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1895
 
1896
      Extended
1897
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1898
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1899
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1900
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

1909
Internal changes
1910
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1911
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1912
      Useful side effects include:
1913
 
1914
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1915
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1916
 
1917
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1918
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1919
 
1920
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1921
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1922
        BuildPkgArchive
1923
 
313 dpurdie 1924
    * Perl Modules
1925
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1926
      release. This will:
1927
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1928
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1929
          reported by ERG.
1930
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
1938
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1939
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1940
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1941
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1942
 
1943
    * Jats label utility
1944
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1945
 
1946
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1947
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1948
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1949
 
1950
    * Jats core
1951
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1952
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1953
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1962
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1963
      This is now fixed.
1964
 
309 dpurdie 1965
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1966
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1967
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1968
 
1969
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1970
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
1979
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1980
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1981
      an error.
1982
 
1983
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1984

1995
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1996
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1997
 
1998
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1999
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2000
 
2001
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2002
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2003
      Support includes
2004
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2005
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2006
 
2007
Minor changes:
2008
    * Build file processing
2009
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2010
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2011
 
2012
    * MOS builds
2013
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2014
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2015
 
2016
    * MOS builds
2017
      New 'known' product: PICP
2018
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.

2024
        .
2025
 
2026
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2027
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2028
 
2029
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2030
      to the output stream.
2031
 
2032
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2033
 
2034
    * Windows Shell
2035
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2036
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2037
 
2038
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2039
 
2040
    * H8S toolset
2041
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2042
 
2043
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2044
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2045
 
2046
Internal changes
2047
    * WinCe builds
2048
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2049
      content of the file.

2066
Major changes:
2067
 
2068
Minor changes:
2069
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2070
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2071
      Changes are transparent to users.
2072
 
2073
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2074
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2075
      this occurs.
2076
 
2077
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2078
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2079
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2080
      automated build framework.
2081
 
2082
    * jats sandbox command
2083
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2084
      'create' command.
2085
 
2086
    * jats command aliases. Added
2087
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2088
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

2092
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2093
Major changes:
2094
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2095
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2096
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2097
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2098
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2099
      will work as expected
2100
 
2101
Minor changes:
2102
    * VS2008 Toolset
2103
      Picking up incorrect config details
2104
      May result in a warning message.
2105
 
2106
    * gen_cots utility
2107
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2108
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2109
 
2110
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2111
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

2158
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2159
Major changes:
2160
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2161
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2162
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2163
 
2164
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2165
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2166
 
2167
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2168
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2169
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2170
           names cannot be changed.
2171
 
2172
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2173
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2174
 
2175
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2176
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2177
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2178
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2179
 
2180
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2181
      file.
2182
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2183
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2184
      MyPackage.dpk.
2185
 
2186
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2187
      file.
2188
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2189
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2190
      MyDll.dpr.
2191
 
2192
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2193
      file.
2194
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2195
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2196
      MyProg.dpr.
2197
 
2198
Minor changes:
2199
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2200
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2201
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2202
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2203
 
2204
    * BuildVersion directive
2205
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2206
      in a Delphi Unit.
2207
 
2208
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2209
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2210
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2211
      'know' the location of the files.
2212
 
2213
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2214
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2215
 
2216
Internal Changes:
2217
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2218
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2219
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2220
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2221
 
2222
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2223
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2224
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
2225

287 dpurdie 2227
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2229
Major changes:
2230
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2231
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2232
      information for purely C++ builds.
2233
 
289 dpurdie 2234
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2235
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2236
 
289 dpurdie 2237
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2238
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2239
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2240
 
2241
Minor changes:
2242
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2243
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2244
 
2245
    * updatenodespec utility
2246
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2247
      Manager database.
2248

2260
      Remove warning created during normal operation
2261

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2267

2268
    * New Platform: H400
2269
      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
2270
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
2271
 
2272
Minor changes:
2273
    * MergeLibrary directive
2274
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
2275
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
2276
 
2277
 
2278
------------------------------------------------------------------------
281 dpurdie 2279
Version:  2.78.1000.cr                               Released: 26-Feb-09

2281
Major changes:
2282
 
2283
Minor changes:
2284
    * New command: jats make show
2285
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2286
      used in the build.
2287
 
2288
    * Escrow command
2289
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2290
 
2291
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2292
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2293
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2294
 
2295
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2296
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2297
 
2298
------------------------------------------------------------------------
279 dpurdie 2299

277 dpurdie 2300
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2301
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2302
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2303
 
279 dpurdie 2304
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2305
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2306
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2307
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2308
 
2309
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2310
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2311
 
2312
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2313
 
2314
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2315
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2316
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2317
 
2318
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2319
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2320
        processed.
2321
 
2322
      Removed the '-delete' option
2323
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2324
 
277 dpurdie 2325
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2326
    * Sandbox command
2327
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2328
 
2329
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2330
      target from consideration in the build set.
2331
 
2332
    * MCR Toolset
2333
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2334
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2335
 
2336
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2337
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2338
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2339
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2340

     it contains 'jar' files.
2356
 
2357
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2358

2533
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2534
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
2535

2558
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2559
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2560
 
2561
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
2731
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
2732
 
2733
    * JATS make: Command line
2734
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2735
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
2736
 
2737
      It didn't work on all platforms.

      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
2739
 
2740
    * JATS command line
2741
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
2742
      to allow:
2743
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
2744
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
2745
        + Consistent use of option parsing
2746
 
2747
    * JATS makefile generation
2748
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
2749
      Improved readability of the generation process

2768
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
2769
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
2770
 
2771
    * FileUtils package.
2772
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.

Major changes:
2788
 
2789
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
2790
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
2791
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
2792
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2793
 
2794
Minor changes:
2795
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2796
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
2797
 
2798
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
2799
      some windows tools.

2803
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2804
Major changes:
2805
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
2806
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2807
 
2808
      New platforms:
2809
        CSHARP2005
2810
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2811
         Support extends to allow:
2812
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2813
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2814
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2815
 
2816
        VS2005
2817
         Support extends to allow:
2818
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2819
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2820
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2821
 
2822
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2823
      through a version selector:
2824
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2825
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2826
 
2827
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2828
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2829
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2830
 
2831
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2832
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2833
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2834
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2835
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2836
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2837
          under VS2005.
2838
 
2839
Minor changes:
2840
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

2844
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2845
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2846
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2847
 
2848
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2849
 
2850
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2851
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2852
 
2853
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2854
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2855
      a minimal value of perl.
2856
 
2857
      Removed excessive require statements.
2858
 
2859
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2860
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2861
      Include JATS specific files for
2862
        1) Windows
2863
        2) Linux
2864
 
2865
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2866
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2867
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2868
      machines.
2869
 
2870
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2871
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2872
 
2873
    * JATS Environment
2874
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2875
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2876
 
2877
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2878
      wrapper scripts.
2879
 
2880
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2881
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2882
      Spell check help and code.

2935
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2936
  * New toolset and platform
2937
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2938
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2939
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2940
    this platform.
2941
 
2942
Minor changes:
2943
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2944
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2945
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2946
    work.
2947
 
2948
  * Jats utility: release
2949
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2950
    published to dpkg_archive.
2951
 
249 dpurdie 2952
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2953
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2954
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2955
    supported for ANT builds.
2956
 
2957
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2958
        releasemanager.releasename
2959
        releasemanager.projectname
2960
 
2961
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2962
    tagged data item of the form
2963
 
2964
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2965
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2966
 
2967
  * Mug File Generation
2968
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2969
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2970
 
2971
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2972
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2973
    required.
2974
 
2975
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2976
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2977
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2978
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2979
    the files in order to use them.
2980
 
2981
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2982
    locate the file.
2983
 
2984
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2985
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2986
 
2987
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2988
        * CSharp
2989
        * Properties
2990
        * WinRC
2991
 
2992
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2993
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2994
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2995
    Value is correctly assigned.
2996

Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3001
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3002
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3003
 
3004
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3005
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3006
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3007
 
3008
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3009
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3010
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3011
 
3012
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3013
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3014
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3015
 
3016
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3017
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3018
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3019
    correct.
3020
 
3021
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3022
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3023
 
3024
Minor changes:
3025
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3026
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3027
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3028
 
3029
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3030
    This will simplify new user setup.
3031
 
3032
  * All Unix Toolsets
3033
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3034
    on unix systems

3036
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3037
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3038
    on some Solaris Machines.
3039
 
3040
  * JATS -version=<version>
3041
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3042
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3043

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
3085
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
3086
 
3087
  * JATS builds
3088
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
3089
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
3090
    mode.
3091
 
3092
  * JATS makefiles
3093
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3094
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3095
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3096
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3097
                            SetList directive.
3098
 
3099

3110
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
3111
    of JATS.
3112
 
3113
  * JATS save_build utility

    * Escrow tool
3133
      Creates a simple HTML file that details all the packages with a short
3134
      description.

3203
 
3204
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3205
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3206
      descpkg files to be copied.
3207
 
3208
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
3209
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

Major changes:
3242
 
3243
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3244
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3245
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3246
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3247
 
3248
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3249
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3250
 
3251
    * Jats wrapper
3252
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3253
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3254

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3258
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3259
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3260
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3261
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3262
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3263
 
3264
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3265
 
3266
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3267
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3268
 
3269
    * Running Jats
3270
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3271
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3272
      This may affect some windows developers.
3273
 
3274
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3275
      Future versions will generate an error.
3276
 
3277
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3278
 
3279
Minor changes:
3280
    * Perl Version Check
3281
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3282
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3283
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3284
 
3285
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3286
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3287
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3288
      build.
3289
 
3290
    * Jats Internals
3291
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3292
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3293
 
3294
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3295
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3296
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3297
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3298
      process.
3299
 
3300
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3301
      Only works under Windows.
3302
 
3303
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3304
 
3305
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3306
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3307
 
3308
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3309
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3310
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3311
 
3312
    * Jats eprog
3313
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3314
      directory.
3315
 
3316
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3317
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3318
      build metrics.
3319

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3323
Major changes:
3324
 
3325
Minor changes:
3326
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3327
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3328
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3329
      automated build system. New options are:
3330
        -pname=Package_Name
3331
        -pversion=Package_Version
3332
 
3333
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3334
      transferring the package. New options are:
3335
        -test
3336
 
3337
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3338
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3339
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3340
 
3341
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3342
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3343
 
3344
    * Solaris Toolset
3345
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3346
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3347
      programs are still supported.
3348
 
3349
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3350
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
3351
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3352
Major changes:
3353
 
3354
Minor changes:
3355
    * WINCE toolsets
3356
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3357
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3358
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3359
      when header files cannot be found.
3360
 
3361
    * GenerateFiles directive
3362
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3363
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3364
      that are difficult to solve.
3365
 
3366
    * MakePerlModule directive
3367
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3368
      to the the module builder.
3369
 
3370
    * Jats Tool: label
3371
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3372
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3373
      -dirs=xxx options.
3374
 
3375
    * Jats Tool: release
3376
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3377
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3378
 
3379
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3380
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3381
 
3382
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3383
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3384
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3385
 
3386
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3392
Major changes:
3393
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3394
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3395
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3396
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3397
 
3398
Minor changes:
3399
    * label utility
3400
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3401
 
3402
    * make package and install operations
3403
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3404
      transfer.
3405
 
3406
    * make clean up
3407
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3408
 
3409
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3410
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3411
      minor file transformations such as:
3412
        Copy, with optional rename
3413
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3414
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3415
 
3416
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3417
 
3418
    * jats release utility
3419
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3420
      in place.
3421
 
3422
    * escrow utility
3423
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3424
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.
3425

3429
Major changes:
3430
 
3431
Minor changes:
3432
    * Makefile generation
3433
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3434
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3435
      generate phase early.
3436
 
3437

3440
Major changes:
3441
 
3442
Minor changes:
3443
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3444
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3445
 
3446
    * Makefile generation
3447
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3448
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3449
 
3450
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3451
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3452
 
3453
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3454
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3455
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3456
 
3457
    * jats_rewrite utility
3458
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3459
 
3460
    * jats escrow utility
3461
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3462
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3463
 
3464
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3465
      inconsistent packages.
3466
 
3467
    * jats make help
3468
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3469
      available within the current build.
3470
 
3471
    * jats makefiles
3472
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3473
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3474
 
3475
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3476
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3477
 
3478
    * gcc toolset
3479
      SharedLibries.
3480
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3481
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3482
 
3483
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3484
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3485
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3486
 
3487
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3488
        New options:
3489
            --MultiScan
3490
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3491
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3492
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

Version: 2.71.1.cr                                Released: 16-Oct-07
3497
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3498
Major changes:
3499
 
3500
Minor changes:
3501
    PackageLib directive
3502
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3503
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3504
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3505
 
3506
    MakefileGenerate directive
3507
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3508
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3509
 
3510
    Multiple Parent detection
3511
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3512
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3513
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3514
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3515
 
3516
    Solaris Toolset
3517
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3518
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3519
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3520
    link.
3521
 
3522
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3523
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3524
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3525
 
3526
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3527
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3528
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3529
    file.

3532
Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
3533
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3534
Major changes:
3535
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3536
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3537
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3538
 
3539
    Summary of changes:
3540
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3541
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3542
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3543
          flexibility.
3544
 
3545
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3546
 
3547
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3548
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3549
          interface directory and associated build information.
3550
 
3551
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3552
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3553
          than one second.
3554
 
3555
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3556
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3557
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3558
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3559
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3560
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3561
 
3562
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3563
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3564
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3565
 
3566
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3567
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3568
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3569
          building them.
3570
 
3571
        - Detection of build file changes
3572
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3573
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3574
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3575
 
3576
        - Quieter make output
3577
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3578
 
3579
 
3580
Minor changes:
3581
    MakeAnt Directive
3582
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3583
 
3584
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3585
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3586
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3587
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3588
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3589
 
3590
    CSHARP toolset
3591
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3592

Minor changes:
3599
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3600
    are generated.
3601
 
3602
    MakeAnt
3603
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3604
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3605
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3606
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3607
 
3608
    MCR platform
3609
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.
3610
    This is a MOS binary and can be download to the MCR devices.

3617
Minor changes:
3618
    MakeAnt directive extended
3619
    New option: --PackageBase
3620
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3621
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3622
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3623
 
3624
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3625
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3626
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3627
        package image being created.

3646
    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
3647
 
3648
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3649
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3650
 
3651
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3652
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3653
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3654
 
3655
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3656
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3657
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3658
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

3685
Minor changes:
3686
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3687
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3688
 
3689
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3690
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3691
      last.
3692
 
3693
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3694
 
3695
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3696
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3697
 
3698
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3699
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3700
 
3701
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3702
 
3703
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3704
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3705
 
3706
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3707
 
3708
 
3709
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3710
           with the --System option
3711
 
3712

3720
Minor changes:
3721
    * Solaris Toolset
3722
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3723
      dependent packages.
3724
 
3725
    * RunTest operation
3726
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3727
 
3728
    * Csharp toolkit
3729

3733
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3734
Major changes:
3735
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3736
 
3737
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3738
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3739
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3740
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3741
      path.
3742
 
3743
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3744
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3745
      reproducible.
3746
 
3747
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3748
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3749
 
3750
      There are several aspects to the change
3751
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3752
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3753
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3754
 
3755
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3756
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3757
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3758
          controlled separately.
3759
 
3760
Minor changes:
3761
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3762
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3763
        Remove duplicates
3764
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3765

3769
Major changes:
3770
 
3771
Minor changes:
3772
    * Makefile sanity test
3773
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3774
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3775
 
3776
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3777
      x86 machine.
3778
 
3779
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3780
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3781
 
3782
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3783
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3784
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3785
Major changes:
3786
    * RunTest directive
3787
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3788
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3789
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3790
 
3791
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3792
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3793
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3794
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3795
 
3796
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3797
        builder within the current toolset.
3798
 
3799
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3800
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3801
 
3802
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3803
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3804
      containing the RunTest directive.
3805
 
3806
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3807
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3808
 
3809
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3810
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3811
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3812
 
3813
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3814
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3815
                            P or D suffix.
3816
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3817
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3818
 
3819
Minor changes:
3820
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3821
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3822
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3823
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3824
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3825
 
3826
    * Save Build Utility
3827
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3828
      used in a ripple build.
3829
 
3830
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3831
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3832
 
3833
    * Release Utility
3834
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3835
      when an error is encountered.
3836
 
3837
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3838
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3839
 
3840
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3841
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3842
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3843
 
3844
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3845
      before the makefiles are created.
3846
 
3847
    * TestProg directive
3848
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3849
 
3850
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3851
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3852

3855
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3856
Major changes:
3857
    * New build target
3858
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3859
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3860
 
3861
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3862
            DEVLINUX
3863
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3864
 
3865
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3866
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3867
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3868
 
3869
Minor changes:
3870
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3871
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3872
 
3873
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3874
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3875
 
3876
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3877
      and .cs files.
3878
 
3879
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3880
      thing.
3881
 
3882
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3883
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3884
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3885
      were it places temp files.
3886
 
3887
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3888
      interaction with other builds.
3889
 
3890
    * Release utility command
3891
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3892
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3893
      component in the clearcase tag name.

3907
Minor changes:
3908
  * Unit Tests
3909
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3910
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3911
 
3912
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3913
    as a Script.

3941
Major changes:
3942
 
3943
Minor changes:
3944
  * WINCE Support
3945
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3946
 
3947
  * Removed the following targets
3948
        TP5600
3949
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3950
        TP5600_EMU
3951
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3952
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3953
 
3954
  * Deployment
3955
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3956
 
3957
  * build.pl
3958
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3959
 
3960
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3961
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3962
 
3963
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3964
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3965
    build.
3966
 
3967
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3968
 
3969
  * Tool: escrow
3970
     New features
3971
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3972
     are not in the SBOM.
3973
 
3974
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3975
 
3976
     Specify packages to be ignored.

3980
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3981
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3982
Major changes:
3983
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3984
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3985
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3986
 
3987
  * GenerateFiles
3988
    Added the options:
3989
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3990
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3991
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3992
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3993
 
3994
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3995
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3996
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3997
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3998
                                  required.
3999
 
4000
 
4001
Minor changes:
4002
  * GenerateFile directive
4003
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4004
 
4005
  * GCC Toolset
4006
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4007
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4008
    be rebuilt.
4009
 
4010
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4011
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4012
 
4013
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4014
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4015
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4016
Major changes:
4017
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4018
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4019
    environment variables.
4020
 
4021
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4022
            moved.
4023
 
4024
    This will affect users that:
4025
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4026
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4027
 
4028
        2) Use the ABT system
4029
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4030
           the required configuration
4031
 
4032
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4033
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4034
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4035
    Windows
4036
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
4037
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
4038
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
4039
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
4040
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
4041
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
4042
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
4043
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
4044
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4045
 
4046
 
4047
  * New build platforms
4048
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4049
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4050
 
4051
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4052
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4053
 
4054
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4055
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4056
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4057
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4058
 
4059
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4060
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4061
    release.
4062
 
4063
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4064
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4065
 
4066
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4067
    need to be converted.
4068
 
4069
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4070
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4071
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4072
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4073
    used for different targets platforms.
4074
 
4075
  * Sandbox support
4076
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4077
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4078
 
4079
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4080
 
4081
Minor changes:
4082
 
4083
 
4084
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4085
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4086
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4087
Major changes:
4088
  * MakeAnt directive
4089
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4090
 
4091
    New options
4092
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4093
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4094
 
4095
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4096
    run_unit_tests phase.
4097
 
4098
  * Sandbox support
4099
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4100
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4101
 
4102
Minor changes:
4103
  * jats build
4104
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4105
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4106
 
4107
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4108
 
4109
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4110
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4111
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4112
 
4113
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4114
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4115
 
4116
  * JATS.BAT
4117
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4118
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4119
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4120
 
4121
  * jats label
4122
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4123
 
4124
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4125
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4126
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4127
Major changes:
4128
  * New build platform:
4129
        LMOS_TP5600
4130
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4131
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4132
 
4133
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4134
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4135
    describe the group of platforms.
4136
 
4137
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4138
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4139
    build these targets.
4140
 
4141
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4142
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4143
 
4144
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4145
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4146
 
4147
  * New build platform: WINCE
4148
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4149
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4150
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4151
 
4152
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4153
            WCEIT3000
4154
            WCEPA961
4155
            WCEPA962
4156
            WCEPCM7220
4157
            WCEPSION_420
4158
            WCEPSPC_arm
4159
            WCEPSPC_emu
4160
            WCEX86A420
4161
            WCEX86A500
4162
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4163
 
4164
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4165
 
4166
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4167
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4168
    that contain packaging directives.
4169
 
4170
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4171
    very unusual configurations.
4172
 
4173
Minor changes:
4174
  * Directive: PackageFile
4175
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4176
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4177
    an '='.
4178
 
4179
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4180
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4181
 
4182
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4183
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4184
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4185
 
4186
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4187
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4188
 
4189
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4190
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4191
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4192
Major changes:
4193
 
4194
  * JATS release command
4195
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4196
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4197
 
4198
    Rules are:
4199
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4200
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4201
                            File will be placed on a branch
4202
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4203
                            New directory will branch
4204
 
4205
Minor changes:
4206
  * JATS release command
4207
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4208
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4209
 
4210
  * JATS label command
4211
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4212
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4213
 
4214
  * JATS make
4215
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4216
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4217
    was re-packaged.
4218
 
4219
  * JATS escrow
4220
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4221
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4222
 
4223
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4224
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4225
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4226
 
4227
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4228
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4229
    interface directory.
4230
 
4231
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4232
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4233
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4234
    directory as seen by the package.
4235
 
4236
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4237
 
4238
  * JAVA 6
4239
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4240
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4241
 
4242
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4243
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4244
 
4245
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4246
 
4247
  * Jats command: vars
4248
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4249
    These indicate potential problems.
4250
 
4251
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4252
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4253
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4254
Major changes:
4255
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4256
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4257
    libarry is also created.
4258
 
4259
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4260
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4261
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4262
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4263
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4264
    information contained within the file.
4265
 
4266
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4267
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4268
 
4269
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4270
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4271
 
4272
  * Building Perl Modules
4273
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4274
    documentation on the build machine.
4275
 
4276
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4277
 
4278
Minor changes:
4279
  * jats create_dpkg
4280
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4281
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4282
 
4283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4284
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4285
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4286
Major changes:
4287
  * JATS JAVA build target
4288
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4289
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4290
 
4291
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4292
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4293
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4294
    is then picked up as the default version.
4295
 
4296
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4297
    build.pl file.
4298
 
4299
Minor changes:
4300
  * jats release
4301
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4302
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4303
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4304
 
4305
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4306
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4307
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4308
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4309
    the name of the view.
4310
 
4311
  * GenerateFiles directive
4312
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4313
 
4314
  * MOS Toolset
4315
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4316
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4317
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4318
 
4319
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4320
 
4321

4323
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4324
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4325
Major changes:
4326
 
4327
Minor changes:
4328
  * JATS environment
4329
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4330
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4331
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4332
 
4333
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4334
 
4335
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4336
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4337
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4338
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4339
    to be packaged.
4340
 
4341
  * Generated makefiles
4342
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4343
 
4344
  * Generating MOS THX files
4345
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4346
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4347
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4348
 
4349
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4350
 
4351
  * JATS release
4352
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4353
 
4354
  * JATS extract
4355
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4356
 
4357
  * JATS Toolset
4358
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4359
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4360
 
4361

4363
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4364
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4365
Major changes:
4366
 
4367
Minor changes:
4368
  * jats label
4369
    Added a -vob=name option
4370
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4371
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4372
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4373
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4374
 
4375
    Added a -user=name option
4376
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4377
    label to the named user.
4378
 
4379
  * jats release
4380
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4381
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4382
 
4383
  * JATS build.pl
4384
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4385
    ie:
4386
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4387

4390
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4392
Major changes:
4393
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4394
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4395
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4396
    the makefile internals. ie:
4397
        --Var(BuildName)
4398
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4399
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4400
 
4401
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4402
 
4403
  * GenerateFiles
4404
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4405
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4406
 
4407
  * BuildPlatforms
4408
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4409
 
4410
Minor changes:
4411
  * GCC Toolset
4412
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4413
 
4414
Internal changes:
4415
  * GenerateFiles
4416
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4417
 
4418
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4419
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4420
 
4421
 
4422
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4423
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4424
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4425
Major changes:
4426
  * Caching JATS
4427
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4428
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4429
 
4430
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4431
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4432
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4433
 
4434
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4435
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4436
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4437
 
4438
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4439
 
4440
Minor changes:
4441
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4442
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4443
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4444
 
4445
  * jats build
4446
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4447
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4448
    processed by the build.
4449
 
4450
  * jats build
4451
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4452
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4453
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4454
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4455
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4456
 
4457
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4458
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4459
    Path is not specified.
4460
 
4461
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4462
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4463
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4464
        --Dir=$Pinc
4465
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4466
 
4467
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4468
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4469
    Windows platform.
4470
 
4471
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4472
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4473
            by 'purecov.
4474
 
4475
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4476
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4477
 
4478
        - OPTIONS=purify
4479
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4480
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4481
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4482

4486
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4487
Major changes:
4488
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4489
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4490
    Example:
4491
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4492
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4493
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4494
 
4495
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4496
    been determined.
4497
 
4498
Minor changes:
4499
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4500
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4501
    located at build-time.
4502
 
4503
  * Unix based systems
4504
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4505
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4506
 
4507
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4508
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4509
    driver being built.
4510

    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
4521
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
4522
 
4523
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
4524
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4525
 
4526
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4527
    dependancy information within a package.
4528
 
4529
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4530
    messages.

4538
 
4539
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4540
 
4541
    GenerateFiles.
4542
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4543
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4544
                      be run on every invocation.
4545
 
4546
 
4547
Minor changes:

4549
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
4550
 
4551
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
4552
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4553
  There are two mechanism:
4554
 
4555
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4556
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4557
 
4558
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4559
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4560
 
4561
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4562
  default.
4563
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
4564
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
4565

4569
Major changes:
4570
  * SunWorks Toolset
4571
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4572
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4573
    It is based on machine type.
4574
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4575
 
4576
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4577
 
4578
Minor changes:
4579

4580
    Removed the message showing database connection
4581
 
4582
  * JATS internal library
4583
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers

4588
Major changes:
4589
  * GCC Toolset
4590
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
4591
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
4592
    Removed the use of `uname`.
4593
 
4594

    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
4602
    field separator.
4603
 
4604
  * JATS eprog command
4605
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4606
 
4607
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4608
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4609
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4610
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4611
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4612
 
4613
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4614
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4615
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4616
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4617
 
4618
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4619
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

4633
Minor changes:
4634
  * JATS wrapper script
4635
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4636
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4637
    to setup links to system programs.
4638

        debug_debuginfo
4678
 
4679
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4680
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4681
    Theses are:
4682
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4683
        SOLARIS_AMD
4684
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4685
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4686
 
4687
Minor changes:
4688

    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4707
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4708
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4709

4711
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
4712
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4713
Major changes:
4714
 
4715
Minor changes:
4716
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4717
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4718
    library without creating the body of the library:
4719
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4720
 
4721
 
4722
  * MOS toolsets
4723
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4724
    library without creating the body of the library:
4725
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4726
 
4727
  * JATS BIN directories
4728
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4729
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4730
    using autoconf.
4731
 
4732
  * Generate directive
4733
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4734
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4735
 
4736
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4737
 
4738
 
4739
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4740
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4741
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4742
Major changes:
4743
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4744
    Initial release.
4745
 
4746
Minor changes:
4747
 
4748
 
4749
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4750
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4751
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4752
Major changes:
4753
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4754
    Initial release.
4755
 
4756
  * Packaging directives
4757
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4758
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4759
 
4760
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4761
        SOLARIS
4762
        WIN32
4763
 
4764
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4765
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4766
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4767
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4768
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4769
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4770
 
4771
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4772
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4773
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4774
 
4775
 
4776
Minor changes:
4777
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4778
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4779
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4780
 
4781
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4782
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4783
    location
4784
 
4785
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4786
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4787
 
4788
  * Utility genrc
4789
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4790
 
4791
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4792
    Added option: -new
4793
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4794
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4795
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4796
 
4797
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4798
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4799
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4800
 
4801
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4802
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4803
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4804
 
4805
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4806
   features - in a uniform manner.
4807
 
4808
 
4809
Internal Changes:
4810
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4811
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4812
 
4813
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4814
        1) Platform information available at build time
4815
        2) Dynamic platform names
4816
 
4817
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4818
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4819
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4820
 
4821
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4822
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4823
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4824
 
4825
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4826
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4827
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4828
    needed.
4829
 
4830
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4831
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4832
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4833
    files from all of these.
4834
 
4835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4836
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
4837
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4838
Major changes:
4839
 
4840
Minor changes:
4841
  * WinCE toolset
4842
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4843
 
4844
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4845
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4847
Major changes:
4848
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4849
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4850
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4851
 
4852
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4853
 
4854
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4855
    the operations.
4856
 
4857
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4858
 
4859
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4860
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4861
 
4862
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4863
 
4864
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4865
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4866
 
4867
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4868
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4869
    Extended the built-in help
4870
    Added useful error messages
4871
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4872
 
4873
  * WinCE toolset
4874
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4875
 
4876
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4877
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4878
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4879
 
4880
Minor changes:
4881
  * JATS wrapper script
4882
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4883
    the command line.
4884
 
4885
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4886
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4887
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4888
 
4889
Internal Changes:
4890
  * Common Error Reporting
4891
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4892
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4893
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4894
    level.
4895
 
4896
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4897
    displayed.
4898
 
4899
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4900
 
4901
  * Added JatsSystem module
4902
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4903
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4904
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
4905
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4906
Major changes:
4907
 
4908
Minor changes:
4909
  * BR Compiler toolset
4910
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4911
    .def files to include other files.
4912
 
4913
  * IAR toolset
4914
    Added AT7272 support
4915
 
4916
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4917
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4918
 
4919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4920
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4921
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4922
Major changes:
4923
 
4924
Minor changes:
4925
  * BR Compiler toolset
4926
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4927
    use.
4928
 
4929
 
4930
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4931
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4933
Major changes:
4934
 
4935
Minor changes:
4936
  * Mictotec toolset
4937
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4938
    builds.
4939
 
4940
  * JATS Core
4941
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4942
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4943
    behaviour.
4944
 
4945
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4946
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4947
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4948
Major changes:
4949
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4950
    Deployment package will be affected.
4951
 
4952
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4953
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4954
 
4955
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4956
 
4957
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4958
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4959
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4960
    packages.
4961
 
4962
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4963
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4964
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4965
 
4966
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4967
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4968
 
4969
Minor changes:
4970
  * SubDir directive
4971
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4972
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4973
 
4974
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4975
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4976
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4977
    of the file usage.
4978
 
4979
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4980
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4981
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4982
 
4983
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4984
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4985
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4986
 
4987
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4988
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4989
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4990
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4991
 
4992
 
4993
Internal Changes:
4994
  * Code refactor
4995
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4996
 
4997
  * Deployment utilities
4998
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4999
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5000
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5001
    the module can locate the file.
5002
 
5003
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5004
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5005
 
5006
  * JATS core
5007
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5008
 
5009
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5010
 
5011
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5012
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5013
    through the use of environment variables.
5014
 
5015
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5016
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5017
 
5018
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5019
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5020
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5021
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5022
 
5023
  * Make environment
5024
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5025
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5026
 
5027
 
5028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5029
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5031
Major changes:
5032
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5033
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5034
 
5035
 
5036
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5037
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5038
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5039
 
5040
Not Released.
5041
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5042
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5043
 
5044
 
5045
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5046
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5047
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5048
Major changes:
5049
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5050
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5051
    radically replaced.
5052
 
5053
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5054
    Usage:
5055
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5056
 
5057
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5058
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5059
    this solution:
5060
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5061
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5062
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5063
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5064
 
5065
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5066
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5067
    order to work.
5068
 
5069
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5070
    reduced functionality.
5071
 
5072
 
5073
Minor changes:
5074
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5075
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5076
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5077
 
5078
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5079
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5080
    within the makefiles.
5081
        Options:
5082
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5083
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5084
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5085
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5086
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5087
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5088
        Useage:
5089
 
5090
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5091
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5092
 
5093
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5094
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5095
    is not in the current directory.
5096
 
5097
  * Jats Command: ant'
5098
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5099
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5100
 
5101
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5102
 
5103
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5104
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5105
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5106
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5107
 
5108
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5109
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5110
    Thus
5111
 
5112
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5113
 
5114
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5115

Minor changes:
5123
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5124
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5125
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5126
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5127
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5128
 
5129
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5130
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5131
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5132
 
5133
Internal changes:
5134
  * JATS toolsets
5135
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5136
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5137
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5138
 
5139
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5140
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5141

5143
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5144
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5145
Major changes:
5146
  * Jats command: etool
5147
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5148
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5149
 
5150
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5151
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5152
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5153
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5154
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5155
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5156
 
5157
Minor changes:
5158
 
5159
 
5160
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5161
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5162
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5163
Major changes:
5164
  * JATS environment variables
5165
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5166
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5167
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5168
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5169
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5170
 
5171
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5172
              Remote repository
5173
 
5174
    Added GBE_DPLY
5175
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5176
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5177
 
5178
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5179
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5180
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5181
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5182
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5183
 
5184
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5185
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5186
 
5187
 
5188
Minor changes:
5189
  * JATS utility: build
5190
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5191
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5192
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5193
 
5194
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5195
    Ensure label is not locked
5196
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5197
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5198
 
5199
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5200
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5201
    to a specific type of build.
5202
 
5203
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5204
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5205
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5206
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5207
 
5208
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5209
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5210
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5211
 
5212
  * JATS utility: release
5213
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5214
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5215
 
5216
  * JATS utility: label
5217
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5218
    when it is being created.
5219
 
5220
Internal Changes
5221
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5222
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5223
 
5224
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5225
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5226
 
5227
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5228
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5229
    different results.
5230
 
5231
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5232
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5233
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5234
 
5235
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5236
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5237
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5238
Major changes:
5239
 
5240
  * MCR toolset
5241
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5242
 
5243
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5244
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5245
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5246
Major changes:
5247
  * WIN32 utilities
5248
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5249
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5250
 
5251
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5252
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5253
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5254
 
5255
Minor changes:
5256
  * BuildVersion
5257
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5258
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5259
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5260
 
5261
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5262
 
5263
  * Unix Builds
5264
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5265
    library or a shared library.
5266
 
5267
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5268
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5269
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5270
    start with 'lib'.
5271
 
5272
  * BuildPkgArchive
5273
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5274
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5275
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5276
 
5277
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5278
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5279
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5280
Major changes:
5281
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5282
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5283
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5284
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5285
    being manually maintained.
5286
 
5287
 
5288
Minor changes:
5289
  * MakeAnt directive
5290
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5291
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5292
    supports ANT builds.
5293
 
5294
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5295
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5296
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5297
 
5298
  * Label utility
5299
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5300
    files to be labeled.
5301
 
5302
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5303
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5304
    on Solaris.
5305
 
5306
  * Generated makefiles
5307
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5308
    nothing.
5309
 
5310
  * MOS Toolset
5311
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5312
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5313
    modules.
5314
 
5315
  * Utility: gen_cots
5316
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5317
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5318
 
5319
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5320
 
5321
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5322
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5323
 
5324
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5325
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5326
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5327
Major changes:
5328
  None
5329
 
5330
Minor changes:
5331
  * DEVI addressed
5332
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5333
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
5334
 
5335
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5336
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5337
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5338
 
5339
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5340
 
5341
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5342
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5343
 
5344
  * RunTest directive
5345
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5346
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5347
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5348
 
5349
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5350
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5351
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5352
    packaged under JATS
5353
 
5354
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5355
          supported within JATS.
5356
 
5357
  * Jats utility wrapper
5358
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5359
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5360
 
5361
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5362
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5363
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5364
 
5365
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5366
    Eg: jats ant
5367
 
5368
  * Jats utility wrapper
5369
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5370
 
5371
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
5372
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5373
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5374
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5375
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5376
 
5377
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
5378
    expect a build.pl file.
5379
 
5380
  * Jats utility wrapper
5381
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5382
 
5383
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5384
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5385
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5386
 
5387
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5388
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5389
 
5390
  * Build files
5391
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5392
    ERG extensions.
5393
 
5394
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5395
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5397
Major changes:
5398
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5399
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5400
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5401
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5402
 
5403
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5404
 
5405
Minor changes:
5406
  * None
5407
 
5408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5409
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5410
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5411
Major changes:
5412
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5413
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5414
    ie:
5415
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5416
 
5417
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5418
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5419
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5420
    environments are compatible.
5421
 
5422
 
5423
Minor changes:
5424
  * BuildName option
5425
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5426
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5427
 
5428
  * jats.bat
5429
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5430
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5431
 
5432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5433
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5434
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5435
Major changes:
5436
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5437
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5438
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5439
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5440
 
5441
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5442
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5443
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5444
 
5445
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5446
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5447
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5448
 
5449
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5450
    transferred.
5451
 
5452
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5453
    See notes below.
5454
 
5455
  * WIN32 toolset
5456
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5457
    correctly.
5458
 
5459
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5460
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5461
 
5462
  * BuildVersion
5463
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5464
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5465
    other langauges as needed.
5466
 
5467
 
5468
Minor changes:
5469
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5470
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5471
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5472
    version strings.
5473
 
5474
  * GenerateFiles directive
5475
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5476
    package or an imported package.
5477
 
5478
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5479
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5480
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5481
 
5482
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5483
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5484
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5485
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5486
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5487
 
5488
Internal Changes
5489
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5490
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5491
    of utilities.
5492
 
5493
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5494
    functions.
5495
 
5496
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5497
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5498
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5499
Major changes:
5500
  * Generated makefiles
5501
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5502
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5503
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5504
 
5505
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5506
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5507
    incorrectly processing:
5508
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5509
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5510
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5511
    confused.
5512
 
5513
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5514
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5515
    The construct
5516
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5517
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5518
    then it works.
5519
 
5520
  * MakeAnt directive
5521
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5522
 
5523
    This option has the following effects
5524
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5525
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5526
 
5527
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5528
           early - in the generated files phase.
5529
 
5530
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5531
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5532
 
5533
 
5534
Minor changes:
5535
  * JATS post-installation script
5536
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5537
 
5538
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5539
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5540
    windows.
5541
 
5542
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5543
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5544
 
5545
  * Jats wrapper script
5546
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5547
        1) Contain spaces
5548
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5549
 
5550
  * Toolset
5551
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5552
 
5553
  * JAVA toolset
5554
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5555
    directive:
5556
 
5557
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5558
 
5559
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5560
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5561
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5562
 
5563
  * GCC Toolset
5564
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5565
 
5566
  * Makefile generation
5567
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5568
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5569
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5570
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5571
    package could not be used.
5572
 
5573
  * Unit Tests
5574
    The following environment variables are set:
5575
 
5576
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5577
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5578
 
5579
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5580
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5581
 
5582
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5583
 
5584
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5585
 
5586
 
5587
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5588
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5589
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5590
Major changes:
5591
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5592
 
5593
    Special features of this toolset.
5594
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5595
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5596
       incorporated within the target image.
5597
 
5598
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5599
       --Set=Name=Value
5600
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5601
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5602
 
5603
       --Ref=name
5604
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5605
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5606
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5607
                will be taken from the build version number.
5608
 
5609
Minor changes:
5610
  * MOS Toolset
5611
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5612
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5613
    packaged.
5614
 
5615
  * Src directive
5616
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5617
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5618
    specifier.
5619
 
5620
  * WIN32 runtime support
5621
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5622
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5623
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5624
 
5625
Internal:
5626
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5627
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5628
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5629
 
5630
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5631
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5633
Major changes:
5634
    * BuildAlias directive
5635
      Added options.
5636
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5637
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5638
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5639
                          targets.
5640
      Eg:
5641
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5642
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5643
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5644
 
5645
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5646
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5647
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5648
 
5649
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5650
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5651
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5652
 
5653
 
5654
Minor changes:
5655
  * Label utility
5656
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5657
    build.pl file
5658
 
5659
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5660
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5661
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5662
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5663
    --FilterIn option.
5664
 
5665
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5666
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5667
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5668
 
5669
  * Location of descpkg file
5670
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5671
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5672
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5673
 
5674
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5675
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5677
Major changes:
5678
  * RunTest directive
5679
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5680
    Additional options
5681
      --CopyIn=file
5682
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5683
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5684
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5685
        the test area.
5686
 
5687
    Additional operations
5688
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5689
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5690
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5691
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5692
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5693
    Allows flags:
5694
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5695
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5696
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5697
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5698
 
5699
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5700
    existence is tested.
5701
 
5702
  * Packaging Directives
5703
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5704
    such as LMOS.
5705
 
5706
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5707
 
5708
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5709
 
5710
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5711
 
5712
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5713
 
5714
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5715
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5716
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5717
 
5718
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5719
 
5720
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5721
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5722
 
5723
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5724
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5725
 
5726
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5727
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5728
 
5729
Minor changes:
5730
  * Script directive
5731
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5732
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5733
 
5734
  * JATS environment
5735
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5736
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5737
    the JATS wrapper script.
5738
 
5739
  * Label utility
5740
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5741
    There are three modes of operation:
5742
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5743
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5744
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5745
 
5746
 
5747
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5748
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5749
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5750
Major changes:
5751
 
5752
Minor changes:
5753
  * label utility
5754
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5755
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5756
 
5757
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5758
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5759
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5760
      --ProgLoader=name
5761
 
5762
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5763
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5764
    Options to do this are:
5765
        --TreeDir=name
5766
        --FilterOut=regexp
5767
        --FilterIn=regexp
5768
        --StripDir
5769
 
5770
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5771
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5772
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5773
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5774
 
5775
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5776
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5777
 
5778
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5779
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5780
 
5781
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5782
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5783
 
5784
 
5785
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5786
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5787
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5788
Major changes:
5789
    * Make commands
5790
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5791
 
5792
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5793
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5794
 
5795
    * Label utility
5796
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5797
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5798
 
5799
Minor changes:
5800
    * Toolsets
5801
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5802
      variables and overrides.
5803
 
5804
      The make_init target is always run.
5805
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5806
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5807
 
5808
    * Deployment
5809
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5810
      with deployment operations.
5811
 
5812
    * Release utility
5813
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5814
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5815
      restricted by options within the build.
5816
 
5817
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5818
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5819
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5820
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5821
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5822
 
5823
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5824
      directives.
5825
 
5826
    * MakeProject directive
5827
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5828
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5829
 
5830
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5831
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5832
      is preserved.
5833
 
5834
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5835
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5836
      statements.
5837
 
5838
    * Mugfile generation
5839
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5840
      be placed in the target package.
5841
 
5842
 
5843
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5844
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5845
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5846
Major changes:
5847
    * BuildVersion directive
5848
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5849
      number as well as a patch number.
5850
 
5851
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5852
      number.
5853
 
5854
Minor changes:
5855
    * AddFlags directives
5856
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5857
      duplicate flags being added.
5858
 
5859
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5860
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5861
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5862
 
5863
    * Mug File Generation
5864
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5865
 
5866
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5867
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5868
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5869
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5870
     directory.
5871
 
5872
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5873
     reproducible.
5874
 
5875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5876
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5878
Major changes:
5879
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5880
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5881
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5882
      longer a list of directories.
5883
 
5884
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5885
      done within the toolset.
5886
 
5887
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5888
 
5889
    * JATS environment variables
5890
      Redefined variable
5891
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5892
                          Previously was a list that included the
5893
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5894
 
5895
      New variable
5896
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5897
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5898
 
5899
 
5900
Minor changes:
5901
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5902
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5903
      target platforms to be extracted.
5904
 
5905
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5906
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5907
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5908
 
5909
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5910
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5911
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5912
 
5913
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5914
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5915
 
5916
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5917
      Support ANT based XML files
5918
 
5919
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5920
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5921
      structure.
5922
 
5923
    * makefile.pl's
5924
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5925
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5926
 
5927
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5928
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5929
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5930
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5931
 
5932
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5933
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5934
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5935
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5936
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5937
      -- Auto.
5938
 
5939
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5940
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5941
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5942
 
5943
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5944
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5945
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5946
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5947
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5948
 
5949
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5950
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5951
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5952
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5953
      installed on the machine.
5954
 
5955
    * WINCE Targets
5956
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5957
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5958
 
5959

Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5964
Major changes:
5965
    * WIN32 platforms
5966
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5967
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5968
      and installed packages.
5969
 
5970
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5971
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5972
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5973
 
5974
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5975
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5976
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5977
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5978
      searched when looking for libraries.
5979
 
5980
Minor changes:
5981
    * GenerateFiles directive
5982
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5983
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5984
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5985
                          and drive letter
5986
 
5987
    * Src directive
5988
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5989
      directory of a package.
5990
 
5991
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5992
 
5993
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5994
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5995
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5996
 
5997
    * jats_rewrite utility
5998
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5999

6002
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6003
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6004
Major changes:
6005
    * SunWorks production builds
6006
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6007
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6008
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6009
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6010
      compiler documentation.
6011
 
6012
    * MOS Toolset
6013
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6014
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6015
 
6016
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6017
 
6018
Minor changes:
6019
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6020
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6021
      This should not affect current users.
6022
 
6023
    * Mugfile generation
6024
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6025
      specified.
6026
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6027
 
6028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6029
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6031
Major changes:
6032
    MOS Toolset
6033
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6034
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6035
 
6036
Minor changes:
6037
    * Jats wrapper script
6038
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6039
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6040
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6041
 
6042
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6043
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6044
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6045
      may be suspect.
6046
 
6047
    * GenerateFiles directive
6048
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6049
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6050
 
6051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6052
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6053
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6054
Major changes:
6055
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6056
      build.xml files.
6057
 
6058
Minor changes:
6059
    * WIN32 toolset.
6060
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6061
 
6062
    * MakeAnt
6063
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6064
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6065
 
6066
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6067
 
6068
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6069
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6070
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6071
 
6072
    * MakeAnt directive
6073
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6074
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6075
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6076
 
6077
      Recommended usage:
6078
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6079
 
6080
Internal Changes
6081
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6082

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6086
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6087
Major changes:
6088
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6089
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6090
      files packaged into the release.
6091
 
6092
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6093

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6096
 
6097
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6098
      The recommended platform is:
6099
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6100
 
6101
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6102
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6103
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6104
      components.
6105
 
6106
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

6110
 
6111
Minor changes:
6112
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6113
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6114
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6115
      by the package to be accessed.
6116
 
6117
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6118
      application or visual studio.
6119
 
6120
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6121
      and the JATS Core path.
6122
 
6123
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6124
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6125
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6126
 
6127
    * MOS Toolset
6128
      Add support for the TPT device
6129
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6130
 
6131
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6132
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6133
 
6134
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6135
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6136
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6137
 
6138
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6139
 
6140
Internal Changes
6141
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6142
      in jats.pl
6143
 
6144
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6145
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6146
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6147
Major changes:
6148
    * JATS wrapper script
6149
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6150
 
6151
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6152
 
6153
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6154
 
6155
Minor changes:
6156
    * Deployment support
6157
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6158
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6159
 
6160
    * 'build'
6161
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6162
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6163
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6164
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6165
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6166
 
6167
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6168
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6169
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6170
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6171
                                      the link phase.
6172
 
6173
    * BuildPkgArchive
6174
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6175
      Previously these were ignored.
6176
      Minor code cleanup
6177
 
6178
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6179
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6180
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6181
 
6182
    * SOLARIS targets
6183
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6184
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6185
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6186
 
6187
    * MugFile generation
6188
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6189
      included in the final package.
6190
 
6191
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6192
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6193
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6194
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6195
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6196
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6197
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6198
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6199
 
6200
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6201
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6202
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6203
            --Option=(some_text)
6204
            --Option=[some_text]
6205
            --Option={some_text}
6206
 
6207
Internal Changes
6208
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6209
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6210
      code.
6211
 
6212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6213
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6214
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6215
Major changes:
6216
    * JATS wrapper script
6217
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6218
 
6219
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6220
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6221
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6222
      other components.
6223
 
6224
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6225
 
6226
    * JATS
6227
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6228
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6229
 
6230
    * Build operations
6231
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6232
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6233
      packages.
6234
 
6235
    * Make operations
6236
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6237
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6238
 
6239
Minor changes:
6240
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6241
      deployment builds.
6242
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6243
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6244
 
6245
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6246
 
6247
    * build.pl
6248
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6249
        processed. Allows
6250
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6251
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6252
        production.
6253
 
6254
    * MOS toolset
6255
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6256
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6257
 
6258
    * create_dpkg utility
6259
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6260
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6261
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6262
      progress of the build.
6263
 
6264
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6265
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6266
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6267
      system.
6268

6271
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6272
Major changes:
6273
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6274
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6275
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6276
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6277
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6278
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6279
 
6280
    * WCEX86A500 target
6281
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6282
 
6283
    * MOS Toolsets
6284
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6285
      the compiler.
6286
 
6287
    * RunTest directive
6288
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6289
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6290
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6291
 
6292
Minor changes:
6293
    * JATS BUILD
6294
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6295
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6296
      highlight bad settings.
6297
 
6298
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6299
      access to extensions.
6300

6315
        o Delete a label
6316
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6317
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6318
 
6319
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6320
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6321
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6322
      Package directives.
6323
 
6324
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6325
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6326
      system.
6327

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6331
Major changes:
6332
    * MOS Toolset
6333
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6334
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6335
 
6336
    * WIN32 Toolset
6337
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6338
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6339
      list.
6340
 
6341
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6342
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6343
 
6344
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6345
 
6346
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6347
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6348
 
6349
 
6350
Minor changes:
6351
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6352
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6353
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6354
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6355
      corrected.
6356
 
6357
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6358
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6359
 
6360
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6361
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6362
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6363

6365
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6366
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6367
Major changes:
6368
    * WIN32 Toolset
6369
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6370
      use with multithreaded modes.
6371
 
6372
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6373
      --OnlyProd.
6374
 
6375
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6376
      within the makefile.pl.
6377
 
6378
Minor changes:
6379
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6380
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6381
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6382
      platforms.
6383
 
6384
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6385
 
6386
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6387
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6388
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6389
Major changes:
6390
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6391
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6392
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6393
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6394
 
6395
    * Preliminary Support
6396
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6397
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6398
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6399
 
6400
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6401
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6402
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6403
 
6404
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6405
      building. The default build will build both.
6406
 
6407
Minor changes:
6408
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6409
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6410
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6411
 
6412
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6413
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6414
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6415
 
6416
 
6417
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6418
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6419
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6420
Major changes:
6421
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6422
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6423
      or all.
6424
 
6425
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6426
      the library or program.
6427
 
6428
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6429
 
6430
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6431
      library or any debug files.
6432
 
6433
    * GenerateFiles
6434
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6435
 
6436
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6437
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6438
 
6439
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6440
              The filename of the prereq file
6441
 
6442
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6443
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6444
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6445
 
6446
 
6447
Minor changes:
6448
    * create_dpkg utility
6449
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6450
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6451
      the package has been altered.
6452
 
6453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6454
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6456
Major changes:
6457
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6458
      This is a WINCE target
6459
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6460
 
6461
    * New toolset
6462
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6463
 
6464
    * Modified toolset
6465
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6466
 
6467
    * Modified toolset
6468
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6469
 
6470
Minor changes:
6471
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6472
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6473
 
6474
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6475
 
6476
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6477
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6478
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6479
 
6480
      The change allows the construct
6481
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6482
      to be replaced by the simpler
6483
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6484
 
6485
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6486
      specified name.    
6487

6492
Major changes:
6493
    * Dependancy generator
6494
      Extend the number of header files that can be included
6495
      to allow for 4096 included files.

6506
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6507
Major changes:
6508
    * The "package.pl" file.
6509
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6510
      package name being taken from the build name
6511
 
6512
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6513
      package Build Name.
6514
 
6515
Minor changes:
6516
    * create_dpkg utility
6517
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
6518
 
6519

6522
Major changes:
6523
 
6524
Minor changes:
6525
    * Dependancy generator
6526
      Correct two common situations
6527
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6528
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6529
           ansi, but is often done.
6530
 
6531
    * GCC toolset
6532
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6533
      being created in the correct place.
6534
 
6535
    * jats "label"
6536
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6537
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6538
 
6539
 
6540
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6541
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6542
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6543
Major changes:
6544
 
6545
Minor changes:
6546
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6547
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6548
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6549
 
6550
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6551
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6552
 
6553
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6554
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6555
      package was not being transferred.
6556
 
6557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6558
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6559
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6560
Major changes:
6561
    * Support for solaris_i386
6562
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6563
      binaries for this target.
6564
 
6565
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6566
      with the GCC compiler.
6567
 
6568
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6569
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6570
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6571
 
6572
Minor changes:
6573
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6574
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6575
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6576
 
6577
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6578
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6579
 
6580
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6581
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6582
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6583
Major changes:
6584
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6585
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6586
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6587
 
6588
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6589
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6590
 
6591
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6592
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6593
      with either " or ' characters.
6594
 
6595
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6596
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6597
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6598
 
6599
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6600
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6601
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6602
 
6603
    * Jats wrapper
6604
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6605
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6606
      further commands.
6607
 
6608
Minor changes:
6609
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6610
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6611
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6612
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6613
 
6614
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6615
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6616
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6617
Major changes:
6618
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6619
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6620
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6621
 
6622
      These options operation affect all components within the
6623
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6624
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6625
 
6626
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6627
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6628
 
6629
Minor changes:
6630
 
6631
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6632
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6633
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6634
Major changes:
6635
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6636
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6637
 
6638
Minor changes:
6639
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6640
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6641
 
6642
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6643
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6644
 
6645
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6646
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6647
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6648
Major changes:
6649
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6650
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6651
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6652
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6653
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6654
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6655
      installed.
6656
 
6657
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6658
      libraries that depend on each other.
6659
 
6660
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6661
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6662
 
6663
Minor changes:
6664
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6665
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6666
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6667
 
6668
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6669
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6670
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6671
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6672
 
6673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6674
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6675
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6676
Major changes:
6677
 
6678
Minor changes:
6679
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6680
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6681
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6682
      file.
6683
 
6684
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6685
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6686
 
6687
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6688
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6689
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6690
 
6691
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6692
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6693
 
6694
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6695
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6696
 
6697
    * WinCE toolsets
6698
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6699
      compiler specific libraries.
6700
 
6701
    * SOLARIS toolset
6702
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6703
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6704
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6705
 
6706
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6707
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6708
      cleaned up.
6709
 
6710
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6711
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6712
 
6713
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6714
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6715
      with either " or ' characters.
6716
 
6717

6720
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6721
Major changes:
6722
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6723
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6724
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6725
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6726
 
6727
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6728
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6729
 
6730
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6731
      user.
6732
 
6733
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6734
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6735
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6736
 
6737
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6738
      for the   -Gf option.
6739
 
6740
Minor changes:
6741
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6742
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6743
 
6744
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6745
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6746
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6747
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.

6750
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6751
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6752
Major changes:
6753
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6754
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6755
 
6756
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6757
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6758
      data addresses for the board.
6759
 
6760
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6761
 
6762
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6763
 
6764
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6765
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6766
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6767
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6768
         PackageFile
6769
 
6770
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6771
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6772
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6773
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6774
 
6775
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6776
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6777
      to be installed and packaged.
6778
 
6779
Minor changes:
6780
 
6781
    * cache_dpkg utility
6782
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6783
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6784
 
6785
    * label utility
6786
      New option -auto to create and label
6787
 
6788
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6789
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6790
 
6791
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6792
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6793
      directory. ie:
6794
 
6795
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6796
 
6797
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6798
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6799
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.

6802
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6803
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6804
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6805
Major changes:
6806
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6807
 
6808
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6809
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6810
 
6811
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6812
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6813
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6814
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6815
 
6816
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6817
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6818
      compilation.
6819
 
6820
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6821
 
6822
Minor changes:
6823
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6824
      one is being produced.
6825
 
6826
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6827
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6828
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6829
 
6830
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6831
 
6832
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6833
 
6834
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6835
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6836
 
6837
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6838
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6839
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6840
Major changes:
6841
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6842
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6843
 
6844
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6845
 
6846
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6847
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6848
      same directory
6849
 
6850
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6851
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6852
      documenattion.
6853
 
6854
Minor changes:
6855
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6856
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6857
 
6858
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6859
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6860
 
6861
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6862
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6863
 
6864
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6865
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6866
 
6867
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6868
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6869
      be exempt from this test.
6870
 
6871
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6872
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6873
 
6874
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6875
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6876
 
6877
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6878
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6879
      does.
6880
 
6881
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6882
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6883
 
6884
 
6885
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6886
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6887
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6888
Major changes:
6889
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6890
 
6891
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6892
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6893
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6894
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6895
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6896
 
6897
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6898
      operations.
6899
 
6900
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6901
 
6902
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6903
 
6904
Minor changes
6905
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6906
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6907
 
6908
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6909
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6910
      directory is not added to the library path.
6911
 
6912
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6913
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6914
 
6915
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6916
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6917
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6918
 
6919
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6920
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6921
      specific flags.
6922
 
6923
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6924
 
6925
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6926
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6927
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6928
 
6929
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6930
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6931
      JATS.
6932
 
6933
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6934
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6935
 
6936
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6937
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6938
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6939
 
6940
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6941
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6942
 
6943
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6944
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6945
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6946
 
6947
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6948
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6949
 
6950
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6951
 
6952
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6953
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6954
 
6955
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6956
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6957
      objects.
6958
 
6959
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6960
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6961
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6962
      build defendants.
