Version:  3.0.5000.cr                               Released: 
3
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4
Major changes:
5
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
6
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
7
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
8
      these operations with a dedicated program.
9
 
10
      This change also addressed a log-time Windows issue with the packaging
11
      of files into very long (>~260) paths as the utility supports the full
12
      windows path scheme.
13
 
14
Minor changes:
15
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
16
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
17
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
18
        With arguments it will delete all the named branches.

24
Minor changes:
25
    * Utility: svn
26
      Added two subcommands
27
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
28
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
29
                 Can also display available branches.
30
 
2053 dpurdie 31
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
36
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
37
 
38
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
39
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
40
      Modified two options:
41
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
42
                        The named branch must not exist
43
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
44
                        The named branch must exist
45
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
79
 
80
Major changes:
81
    * Jats Version Number
82
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
83
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed

          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1341 dpurdie 103
 
104
Minor changes:
1359 dpurdie 105
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
106
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
107
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
108
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
109
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
110
 
1341 dpurdie 111
    * Utility: svnsave_build
112
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
113
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
114
 
1348 dpurdie 115
    * Linux support utilities
116
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
117
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
118
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.
119
 
1341 dpurdie 120
------------------------------------------------------------------------
121
Version:  2.100.6000.cr                               Released: 30-Jul-12
122
------------------------------------------------------------------------
123
Major changes:
1328 dpurdie 124
    * Subversion Repository location
125
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
126
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
127
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
128
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
129
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1269 dpurdie 130
 
131
Minor changes:
1328 dpurdie 132
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
133
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
134
 
1269 dpurdie 135
    * Utility: svnrelease
136
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
137
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
138
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
139
 
1328 dpurdie 140
    * Utility: svnsave_build
141
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
142
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
143
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
144
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1269 dpurdie 145
 
146
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
147

151
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
152
 
153
      Subcommand: populate
154
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
155
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
156
      sandbox.
157
 
1269 dpurdie 158
    * Subversion Support
159
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
160
      repository is not supported.
161
 
162
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
163
      a progress indication.
164
 
165
    * Jats Online Documentation
166
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
167
      online documentation.
168
 
1328 dpurdie 169
    * Generated makefiles

218
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 219
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 220
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
221
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
222
 
223
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 224
      Specialized platform for the VIX 'ITP' product.

246
------------------------------------------------------------------------
247
Major changes:
248
 
249
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
250
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
251
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
252
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
253
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
254
 
255
    * C# Toolchain
256
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

      jats.sh example (Unix)
265
      Redefined location of the Perth Subversion server AUPERASVN01
266
 
267
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
268
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
269
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
270
 
271
    * Utility ccrelease
272
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
273
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
274
 
275
    * Utility: svn
276
      Improved package import processing.
277
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
278
 
279
    * Jats Utility: gen_cots
280
      Added support for Subversion.

      ClearCase is supported on Windows.
283
 
284
    * Jats Utility: vcsdiff
285
      New Utility. Will diff two versions of a package. Supports
286
      mixed ClearCase and Subversion versions.

377 dpurdie 291
Version:  2.99.2000.cr                               Released: 3-Feb-12
292

293
Major changes:
294
 
295
Minor changes:
296
    * BuildVersion directive
297
      Updated Company Name, Copyright and Trademark strings to 'Vix IP Pty Ltd'
298
 
299
    * GCC Toolset
300
      Added support for filterering warning messages, via a warnings.gcc file

302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
375 dpurdie 303
Version:  2.99.1000.cr                               Released: 13-Jan-12
304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
305
Major changes:
306
 
307
Minor changes:
308
    * Command: jats clobber
309
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
310
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
311
 
312
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
313
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
314
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
315
 
316
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
317
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
318
 
377 dpurdie 319
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
320
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
321
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 322
 
323
    * jats svnlabel
324
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
325
 
326
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
327
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
328
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
329
 
330
    * Built Daemon support
331
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
332
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
333
 
334
------------------------------------------------------------------------
373 dpurdie 335
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
336
------------------------------------------------------------------------
337
Major changes:
338
    * GCC Toolset
339
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
340
      New methodology is:
341
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
342
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
343
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
344
        as the main binary.
345
 
346
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
347
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
348
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
349
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
350
      both worlds.
351
 
352
Minor changes:
353
    * HTML Documentation
354
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
355
 
356
Internal changes:
357
    * Generated makefiles
358
      Removed the make_usage target as it is inaccessible. It was replaced by
359
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.
360
 
361

363
------------------------------------------------------------------------
364
Major changes:
365
    * Jats Sandbox
366
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
367
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
368
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
369
 
370
    * RIORDS Platform
371
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
372
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion

391
 
392
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
393

394
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
395
 
396
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
397

476
Major changes:
477
    * New toolset: ARM251
478
 
479
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
480
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
481
 
482
Minor changes:
483
    * HTML Help
484
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
485
 
486
    * jats build -noforce
487
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
488
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
489
      be forced.
490
 
491
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
492
 
493
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
494
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
495
 
496
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
497
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
498
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
499
 
500
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
501
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
502
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
503
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
504
 
505
    * Utility: svnrelease
506
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
507
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
508
 
509
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
510
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
511
 
512
    * Utility: svn
513
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
514
      installed and can be used.
515
 
516
    * Toolset: CSharp
517
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
518
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
519
      character.
520
 
521
    * Toolset: SunWorks
522
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
523
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
524
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
525
      masking an error.
526
 
527
    * Toolset: Delphi7
528
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
529
      enhancement.
530
 
531
    * Toolset: dafbr
532
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
533
 
534
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
535
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
536
        - Return correct path to package
537
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
538
 
539
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
540
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
541
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
542
 
543
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
544
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
545
      packages.
546
 
547
    * make command: show
548
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
549
      'jats make show' command.
550
 
551
    * Utility: create_dpkg
552
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
553
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
554
 
555
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
556
      executed on Unix machines.

860
Major changes:
861
    * [DEVI-062103]
862
      Many (11) toolsets - all that generate linker dependency

869
      files for Production and Debug builds.
870
 
871
Minor changes:
872
    * Jats sandbox command
873
      The 'info' subcommand will highlight external packages that cannot be
874
      found in any of the the package archives.

Major changes:
894
 
895
Minor changes:
896
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
897
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
898
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
899
      resulting in multiple builds.
900
 
901
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
902
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
903
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
904
 
905
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
906
 
907
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
908
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
909
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

331 dpurdie 912
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
913
------------------------------------------------------------------------
914
Major changes:
915
 
916
Minor changes:
917
    * Jats label command
918
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
919
      Not recommended for general use.
920
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
921
      directories within the current view.
922
 
923
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
924
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
925
      elsewhere.
926
 
927
    * Jats save_build
928
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
929
      the determination of a branch.
930
 
931
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
932
      up labeling by the build daemons.
933
 
934
    * Jats build
935
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
936
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
937
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
938
 
939
    * Borland6 toolset
940
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
941
      to match the documented install location of:
942
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
943
 
944
    * Jats build
945
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
946
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
947
      This is a very quick operation.
948
 
949
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
950
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
951
 
952
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
953
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
954
      files are only recreated if need be.
955
 
956
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
957
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
958
      make the package.
959
 
960
    * Jats sandbox
961
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
962
 
963
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
964
      be a complete build of all component packages.
965
 
966
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
967
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
968
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
969
      is performed.
970
 
971
Internal:
972
    * build.pl
973
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

Major changes:
1006
 
1007
Minor changes:
1008
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1009
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1010
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1011
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1012
 
1013
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1014
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1015
 
1016
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1017
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1018
      platform builds.
1019
 
1020
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1021
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1022
      directory tree.
1023
 
1024
    * New command: jats man
1025
      Produces full help on a specified item.

1037
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1038
Major changes:
1039
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1040
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1041
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1042
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1043
 
1044
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1045
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1046
 
1047
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1048
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1049
 
1050
      Examples:
1051
            jats upddep -show
1052
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1053
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1054
 
1055
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1056
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1057
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1058
 
1059
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1060
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1061
 
1062
Minor changes:
1063
 
1064
Internal changes:
1065
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

1070
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1071
Major changes:
1072
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1073
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1074
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1075
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1076
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1077
      stream.
1078
 
1079
      Example:
1080
 
1081
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1082
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1083
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1084
                     );
1085
Minor changes:
1086
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1087
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1088
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1089
      directive.
1090
 
1091
    * GCC Toolkit
1092
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1093
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1094
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1095
      the point of termination.
1096
 
1097
    * Jats save_build utility
1098
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1099
      under windows.
1100
 
1101
    * Jats sandbox
1102
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1103
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1104
      in different sandboxes.
1105
 
1106
    * Jats release
1107
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1108

    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1116
      Added -locatedir=name
1117
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1118
      directory.
1119
 
1120
    * jats label utility
1121
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1122
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1123
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1124
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1125
 
1126
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1127

Minor changes:
1134
    * WinCe Toolsets
1135
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1136
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1137
        noExceptions            - Disable
1138
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1139
      Example:
1140
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1141
 
1142
    * Solaris targets
1143
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1144
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1145
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1146
      machine type.
1147
 
1148

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1150
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1151
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1152
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1153
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1154
      project files.
1155
 
1156
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1157
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1158
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1159
 
1160
Minor changes:
1161
    * Added more internal documentation
1162
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1163
 
1164
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1165
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1166
 
1167
    * Jats save_build utility
1168
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1169
      under windows.
1170
 
1171
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1172
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1173
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1174
      libraries.
1175
 
1176
    * Solaris builds
1177
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1178
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1179
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1180
      of the build failure.
1181
 
1182
 
1183
Internal changes:
1184
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1185
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1186
 
1187
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1188
      PkgArchive topics.

Major changes:
1194
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1195
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1196
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1197
      existing 32-bit builds.
1198
 
1199
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

1205
 
1206
    * Package searching
1207
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1208
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1209
 
1210
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1211
 
1212
    * jats help
1213
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1214
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1215
 
1216
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1217
      with one of:
1218
        jats -h
1219
        jats help jats

1240
Major changes:
1241
 
1242
Minor changes:
1243
 
1244
Internal changes
1245
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1246
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1247
      Useful side effects include:
1248
 
1249
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1250
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1251
 
1252
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1253
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1254
 
1255
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1256
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1257
        BuildPkgArchive
1258
 
313 dpurdie 1259
    * Perl Modules
1260
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1261
      release. This will:
1262
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1263
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1264
          reported by ERG.
1265
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1270
Major changes:
1271
 
1272
Minor changes:
1273
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1274
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1275
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1276
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1277
 
1278
    * Jats label utility
1279
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1280
 
1281
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1282
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1283
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1284
 
1285
    * Jats core
1286
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1287
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1288
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1297
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1298
      This is now fixed.
1299
 
309 dpurdie 1300
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1301
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1302
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1303
 
1304
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1305
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1313
    * Generating makefiles
1314
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1315
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1316
      an error.
1317
 
1318
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1319
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1320
 
1321
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1322
      Highly specialized directive.

1328
Major changes:
1329
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1330
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1331
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1332
 
1333
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1334
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1335
 
1336
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1337
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1338
      Support includes
1339
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1340
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1341
 
1342
Minor changes:
1343
    * Build file processing
1344
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1345
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1346
 
1347
    * MOS builds
1348
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1349
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1350
 
1351
    * MOS builds
1352
      New 'known' product: PICP
1353
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1354
 
1355
    * GenerateFiles directive
1356
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1357
        under windows.
1358
 
1359
        .
1360
 
1361
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1362
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1363
 
1364
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1365
      to the output stream.
1366
 
1367
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1368
 
1369
    * Windows Shell
1370
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1371
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1372
 
1373
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1374
 
1375
    * H8S toolset
1376
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1377
 
1378
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1379
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1380
 
1381
Internal changes
1382
    * WinCe builds
1383
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1384
      content of the file.
1385
 
1386
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1387
 
1388
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1389
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1401
Major changes:
1402
 
1403
Minor changes:
1404
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1405
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1406
      Changes are transparent to users.
1407
 
1408
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1409
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1410
      this occurs.
1411
 
1412
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1413
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1414
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1415
      automated build framework.
1416
 
1417
    * jats sandbox command
1418
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1419
      'create' command.
1420
 
1421
    * jats command aliases. Added
1422
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1423
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

1428
Major changes:
1429
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1430
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1431
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1432
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1433
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1434
      will work as expected
1435
 
1436
Minor changes:
1437
    * VS2008 Toolset
1438
      Picking up incorrect config details
1439
      May result in a warning message.
1440
 
1441
    * gen_cots utility
1442
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1443
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1444
 
1445
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1446
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
1447
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1494
Major changes:
1495
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1496
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1497
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1498
 
1499
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1500
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1501
 
1502
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1503
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1504
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1505
           names cannot be changed.
1506
 
1507
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1508
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1509
 
1510
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1511
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1512
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1513
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1514
 
1515
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1516
      file.
1517
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1518
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1519
      MyPackage.dpk.
1520
 
1521
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1522
      file.
1523
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1524
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1525
      MyDll.dpr.
1526
 
1527
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1528
      file.
1529
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1530
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1531
      MyProg.dpr.
1532
 
1533
Minor changes:
1534
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1535
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1536
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1537
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1538
 
1539
    * BuildVersion directive
1540
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1541
      in a Delphi Unit.
1542
 
1543
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1544
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1545
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1546
      'know' the location of the files.
1547
 
1548
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
1549
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
1550
 
1551
Internal Changes:
1552
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
1553
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
1554
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
1555
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
1556
 
1557
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
1558
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
1559
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
1563
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1564
Major changes:
1565
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
1566
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
1567
      information for purely C++ builds.
1568
 
289 dpurdie 1569
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
1570
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 1571
 
289 dpurdie 1572
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
1573
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
1574
            Manager
287 dpurdie 1575
 
1576
Minor changes:
1577
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
1578
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
1579
 
1580
    * updatenodespec utility
1581
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
1582
      Manager database.

Minor changes:
1619
    * New command: jats make show
1620
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
1621
      used in the build.
1622
 
1623
    * Escrow command
1624
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
1625
 
1626
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
1627
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
1628
      build files against the Release Manager information.
1629
 
1630

1636
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 1637
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 1638
 
279 dpurdie 1639
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
1640
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
1641
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 1642
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 1643
 
1644
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
1645
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
1646
 
1647
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
1648
 
1649
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
1650
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
1651
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
1652
 
1653
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
1654
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
1655
        processed.
1656
 
1657
      Removed the '-delete' option
1658
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
1659
 
277 dpurdie 1660
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 1661
    * Sandbox command
1662
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
1663
 
1664
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
1665
      target from consideration in the build set.
1666
 
1667
    * MCR Toolset
1668
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
1669
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
1670
 
1671
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
1672
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
1673
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
1674
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
1675
 
1676
    * Jats run_test command
1677
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
1678
      tests we run on a Window machine.
1679
 
1680
    * descpkg file
1681
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
1682
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
1683
 
1684
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
1685
     Now contains build trace information
1686
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
1687
 
1688
   * jats abt command simplified usage
1689
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
1690
     it contains 'jar' files.
1691
 
1692
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
1693
 
1694
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
1695
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
1696
 
1697
   * BuildVersion directive
1698
     Form:
1699
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
1700
     now works as expected.
1701
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
1702
 
1703
Internal Changes:
1704
 
1705
    * Error reporting mechanism
1706
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to

1720
    then starts.
1721
 
1722
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
1723
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
1724
 
1725
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
1726
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
1727
    non-platform option.
1728
 
279 dpurdie 1729
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

1868
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
1869
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool

1893
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
1894
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
1895
 
1896
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

2044
 
2045
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
2046
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

2059
 
2060
Internal Changes:
2061
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
2062
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2063
      Previously was being done at two places
2064
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2065
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
2066
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
2067
 
2068
    * JATS make: Command line
2069
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2070
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
2071
 
2072
      It didn't work on all platforms.
2073
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
2074
 
2075
    * JATS command line
2076
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
2077
      to allow:
2078
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
2079
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
2080
        + Consistent use of option parsing
2081
 
2082

2083
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
2084
      Improved readability of the generation process
2085
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
2086
      Removed dead code
2087
      Improved the creation of Progs
2088
 
2089
    * JATS error reporting
2090
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
2091
      problems.
2092
 
2093
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG

2103
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
2104
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
2105
 
2106
    * FileUtils package.
2107
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
2108
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.

2125
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
2126
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
2127
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2128
 
2129
Minor changes:
2130
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2131
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
2132
 
2133
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
2134
      some windows tools.

2139
Major changes:
2140
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
2141
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2142
 
2143
      New platforms:
2144
        CSHARP2005
2145
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2146
         Support extends to allow:
2147
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2148
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2149
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2150
 
2151
        VS2005
2152
         Support extends to allow:
2153
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2154
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2155
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2156
 
2157
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2158
      through a version selector:
2159
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2160
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2161
 
2162
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2163
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2164
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2165
 
2166
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2167
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2168
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2169
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2170
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2171
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2172
          under VS2005.
2173
 
2174
Minor changes:
2175
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
2176
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
2177
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
2178
 
2179
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2180
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2181
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2182
 
2183
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2184
 
2185
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2186
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2187
 
2188
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2189
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2190
      a minimal value of perl.
2191
 
2192
      Removed excessive require statements.
2193
 
2194
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2195
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2196
      Include JATS specific files for
2197
        1) Windows
2198
        2) Linux
2199
 
2200
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2201
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2202
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2203
      machines.
2204
 
2205
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2206
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2207
 
2208
    * JATS Environment
2209
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2210
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2211
 
2212
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2213
      wrapper scripts.
2214
 
2215
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2216
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2217
      Spell check help and code.

    * Jats utility: release [DEVI-047291]
2226
      A race condition within clearcase will cause a view to fail during
2227
      creation. This is detected and the command will be retried a number
2228
      of times.

2238
 
2239
    * GCC Toolset
2240
      Correct the operation of the assembler interface to 'gas' such that
2241
      options are passed correctly.
2242
 
2243
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
2244
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
2245
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
2246
      was added.
2247
 
2248
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
2249
      reviewing a new package.
2250
 
2251
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2252
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
2253
      automatically included in the source file list.
2254
 
253 dpurdie 2255
    * Toolset updates
2256

2268
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
2269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2270
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2271
  * New toolset and platform
2272
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2273
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2274
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2275
    this platform.
2276
 
2277
Minor changes:
2278
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2279
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2280
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2281
    work.
2282
 
2283
  * Jats utility: release
2284
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2285
    published to dpkg_archive.
2286
 
249 dpurdie 2287
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2288
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2289
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2290
    supported for ANT builds.
2291
 
2292
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2293
        releasemanager.releasename
2294
        releasemanager.projectname
2295
 
2296
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2297
    tagged data item of the form
2298
 
2299
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2300
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2301
 
2302
  * Mug File Generation
2303
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2304
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2305
 
2306
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2307
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2308
    required.
2309
 
2310
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2311
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2312
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2313
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2314
    the files in order to use them.
2315
 
2316
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2317
    locate the file.
2318
 
2319
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2320
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2321
 
2322
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2323
        * CSharp
2324
        * Properties
2325
        * WinRC
2326
 
2327
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2328
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2329
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2330
    Value is correctly assigned.
2331

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
2334
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2335
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2336
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2337
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2338
 
2339
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2340
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2341
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2342
 
2343
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2344
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2345
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2346
 
2347
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2348
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2349
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2350
 
2351
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2352
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2353
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2354
    correct.
2355
 
2356
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2357
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2358
 
2359
Minor changes:
2360
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2361
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2362
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2363
 
2364
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2365
    This will simplify new user setup.
2366
 
2367
  * All Unix Toolsets
2368
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2369
    on unix systems
2370
 
2371
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2372
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2373
    on some Solaris Machines.
2374
 
2375
  * JATS -version=<version>
2376
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2377
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2378
 
2379

2535
    * MOS Compiler
2536
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2537
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
2538
 
2539
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2540
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
2541
      descpkg files to be copied.
2542
 
2543
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
2544
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 2579
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
2580
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
2581
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
2582
 
2583
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2584
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
2585
 
2586
    * Jats wrapper
2587
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
2588
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2593
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 2594
    * Jats Release Mechanism
2595
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
2596
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
2597
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
2598
 
2599
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
2600
 
2601
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
2602
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
2603
 
2604
    * Running Jats
2605
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
2606
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
2607
      This may affect some windows developers.
2608
 
2609
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
2610
      Future versions will generate an error.
2611
 
2612
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
2613
 
2614
Minor changes:
2615
    * Perl Version Check
2616
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
2617
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
2618
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
2619
 
2620
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
2621
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
2622
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
2623
      build.
2624
 
2625
    * Jats Internals
2626
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
2627
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
2628
 
2629
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
2630
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
2631
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
2632
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
2633
      process.
2634
 
2635
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
2636
      Only works under Windows.
2637
 
2638
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
2639
 
2640
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
2641
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
2642
 
2643
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2644
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
2645
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
2646
 
2647
    * Jats eprog
2648
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
2649
      directory.
2650
 
2651
    * jats tool jats_metrics
2652
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
2653
      build metrics.
2654

2658
Major changes:
2659
 
2660
Minor changes:
2661
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
2662
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
2663
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
2664
      automated build system. New options are:
2665
        -pname=Package_Name
2666
        -pversion=Package_Version
2667
 
2668
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
2669
      transferring the package. New options are:
2670
        -test
2671
 
2672
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2673
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
2674
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
2675
 
2676
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
2677
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
2678
 
2679
    * Solaris Toolset
2680
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
2681
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
2682
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2687
Major changes:
2688
 
2689
Minor changes:
2690
    * WINCE toolsets
2691
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
2692
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
2693
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
2694
      when header files cannot be found.
2695
 
2696
    * GenerateFiles directive
2697
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
2698
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
2699
      that are difficult to solve.
2700
 
2701
    * MakePerlModule directive
2702
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
2703
      to the the module builder.
2704
 
2705
    * Jats Tool: label
2706
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
2707
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
2708
      -dirs=xxx options.
2709
 
2710
    * Jats Tool: release
2711
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
2712
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
2713
 
2714
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
2715
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
2716
 
2717
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2718
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
2719
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
2720
 
2721
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

2741
    * make clean up
2742
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
2743
 
2744
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
2745
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
2746
      minor file transformations such as:
2747
        Copy, with optional rename
2748
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
2749
        Perform simple TAG replacement

      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
2783
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
2784
 
2785
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
2786
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
2787
 
2788
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
2789
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
2790
      branch. The locks will be removed.
2791
 
2792
    * jats_rewrite utility
2793
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
2794
 
2795
    * jats escrow utility
2796
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
2797
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
2798
 
2799
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
2800
      inconsistent packages.
2801
 
2802
    * jats make help
2803
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
2804
      available within the current build.
2805
 
2806
    * jats makefiles
2807
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
2808
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
2809
 
2810
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
2811
      pl, then it will be ignored.
2812
 
2813
    * gcc toolset
2814
      SharedLibries.
2815
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
2816
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
2817
 
2818
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
2819
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
2820
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
2821
 
2822
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
2823
        New options:
2824
            --MultiScan
2825
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
2826
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
2827
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

2835
Minor changes:
2836
    PackageLib directive
2837
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
2838
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
2839
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
2840
 
2841
    MakefileGenerate directive
2842
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
2843
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
2844
 
2845
    Multiple Parent detection
2846
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
2847
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
2848
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
2849
    condition will be treated as a warning.
2850
 
2851
    Solaris Toolset
2852
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
2853
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
2854
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
2855
    link.
2856
 
2857
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
2858
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
2859
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
2860
 
2861
    Make and generation of subdirectories
2862
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
2863
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
2864
    file.

Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
2868
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2869
Major changes:
2870
    Makefile generation and make recursion
2871
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
2872
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
2873
 
2874
    Summary of changes:
2875
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
2876
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
2877
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
2878
          flexibility.
2879
 
2880
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
2881
 
2882
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
2883
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
2884
          interface directory and associated build information.
2885
 
2886
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
2887
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
2888
          than one second.
2889
 
2890
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
2891
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
2892
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
2893
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
2894
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
2895
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
2896
 
2897
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
2898
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
2899
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
2900
 
2901
        - Better makefile rebuilding
2902
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
2903
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
2904
          building them.
2905
 
2906
        - Detection of build file changes
2907
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
2908
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
2909
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
2910
 
2911
        - Quieter make output
2912
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
2913
 
2914
 
2915
Minor changes:
2916
    MakeAnt Directive
2917
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
2918
 
2919
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
2920
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
2921
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
2922
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
2923
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
2924
 
2925
    CSHARP toolset
2926
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
2927

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
2935
    are generated.
2936
 
2937
    MakeAnt
2938
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
2939
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
2940
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
2941
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
2942
 
2943
    MCR platform

    New option: --PackageBase
2955
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
2956
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
2957
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
2958
 
2959
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
2960
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
2961
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
2962
        package image being created.

2982
 
2983
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
2984
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
2985
 
2986
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
2987
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
2988
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
2989
 
2990
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
2991
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
2992
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3022
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3023
 
3024
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3025
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3026
      last.
3027
 
3028
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3029
 
3030
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3031
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3032
 
3033
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3034
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3035
 
3036
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3037
 
3038
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3039
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3040
 
3041
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3042
 
3043
 
3044
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3045

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3069
Major changes:
3070
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3071
 
3072
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3073
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3074
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3075
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3076
      path.
3077
 
3078
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3079
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3080
      reproducible.
3081
 
3082
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3083
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3084
 
3085
      There are several aspects to the change
3086
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3087
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3088
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3089
 
3090
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3091
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3092
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3093
          controlled separately.
3094
 
3095
Minor changes:
3096
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3097
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3098
        Remove duplicates
3099
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3100

3106
Minor changes:
3107
    * Makefile sanity test
3108
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3109
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3110
 
3111
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3112
      x86 machine.
3113
 
3114
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3115
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3116

3119
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3120
Major changes:
3121
    * RunTest directive
3122
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3123
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3124
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3125
 
3126
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3127
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3128
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3129
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3130
 
3131
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3132
        builder within the current toolset.
3133
 
3134
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3135
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3136
 
3137
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3138
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3139
      containing the RunTest directive.
3140
 
3141
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3142
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3143
 
3144
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3145
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3146
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3147
 
3148
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3149
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3150
                            P or D suffix.
3151
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3152
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3153
 
3154
Minor changes:
3155
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3156
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3157
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3158
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3159
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3160
 
3161
    * Save Build Utility
3162
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3163
      used in a ripple build.
3164
 
3165
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3166
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3167
 
3168
    * Release Utility
3169
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3170
      when an error is encountered.
3171
 
3172
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3173
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3174
 
3175
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3176
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3177
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3178
 
3179
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3180
      before the makefiles are created.
3181
 
3182
    * TestProg directive
3183
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3184
 
3185
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3186
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3187

Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
3190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3191
Major changes:
3192
    * New build target
3193
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3194
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3195
 
3196
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3197
            DEVLINUX
3198
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3199
 
3200
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3201
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3202
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3203
 
3204
Minor changes:
3205
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3206
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3207
 
3208
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3209
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3210
 
3211
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3212
      and .cs files.
3213
 
3214
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3215
      thing.
3216
 
3217
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3218
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3219
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3220
      were it places temp files.
3221
 
3222
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3223
      interaction with other builds.
3224
 
3225
    * Release utility command
3226
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3227
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3228
      component in the clearcase tag name.

Version: JATS_2.66.0                                Released: 27-Jun-07
3232
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3233
Major changes:
3234
  * Support for building CSHARP code
3235
    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
3236
 
3237
    Supports the handling of .resx files
3238
 
3239
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
3240
    libraries
3241
 
3242
Minor changes:
3243
  * Unit Tests
3244
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3245
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3246
 
3247
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3248
    as a Script.

3277
 
3278
Minor changes:
3279
  * WINCE Support
3280
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3281
 
3282
  * Removed the following targets
3283
        TP5600
3284
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3285
        TP5600_EMU
3286
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3287
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3288
 
3289
  * Deployment
3290
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3291
 
3292
  * build.pl
3293
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3294
 
3295
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3296
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3297
 
3298
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3299
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3300
    build.
3301
 
3302
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3303
 
3304
  * Tool: escrow
3305
     New features
3306
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3307
     are not in the SBOM.
3308
 
3309
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3310
 
3311
     Specify packages to be ignored.
3312
 
3313

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3315
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3317
Major changes:
3318
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3319
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3320
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3321
 
3322
  * GenerateFiles
3323
    Added the options:
3324
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3325
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3326
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3327
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3328
 
3329
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3330
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3331
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3332
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3333
                                  required.
3334
 
3335
 
3336
Minor changes:
3337
  * GenerateFile directive
3338
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3339
 
3340
  * GCC Toolset
3341
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3342
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3343
    be rebuilt.
3344
 
3345
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3346
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3347
 
3348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3349
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3351
Major changes:
3352
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3353
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3354
    environment variables.
3355
 
3356
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3357
            moved.
3358
 
3359
    This will affect users that:
3360
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3361
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3362
 
3363
        2) Use the ABT system
3364
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3365
           the required configuration
3366
 
3367
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3368
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3369
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3370
    Windows
3371
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3372
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3373
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3374
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3375
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3376
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3377
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3378
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3379
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3380
 
3381
 
3382
  * New build platforms
3383
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3384
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3385
 
3386
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3387
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3388
 
3389
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3390
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3391
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3392
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3393
 
3394
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3395
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3396
    release.
3397
 
3398
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3399
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3400
 
3401
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3402
    need to be converted.
3403
 
3404
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3405
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3406
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3407
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3408
    used for different targets platforms.
3409
 
3410
  * Sandbox support
3411
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3412
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3413
 
3414
    New command: jats sandbox ...
3415

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3420
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
3421
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3422
Major changes:
3423
  * MakeAnt directive
3424
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3425
 
3426
    New options
3427
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3428
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3429
 
3430
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3431
    run_unit_tests phase.
3432
 
3433
  * Sandbox support
3434
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3435
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3436
 
3437
Minor changes:
3438
  * jats build
3439
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3440
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3441
 
3442
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3443
 
3444
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3445
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3446
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3447
 
3448
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3449
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3450
 
3451
  * JATS.BAT
3452
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3453
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3454
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3455
 
3456
  * jats label
3457
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3458
 
3459
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3460
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3462
Major changes:
3463
  * New build platform:
3464
        LMOS_TP5600
3465
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3466
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3467
 
3468
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3469
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3470
    describe the group of platforms.
3471
 
3472
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3473
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3474
    build these targets.
3475
 
3476
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3477
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3478
 
3479
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3480
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3481
 
3482
  * New build platform: WINCE
3483
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3484
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3485
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3486
 
3487
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3488
            WCEIT3000
3489
            WCEPA961
3490
            WCEPA962
3491
            WCEPCM7220
3492
            WCEPSION_420
3493
            WCEPSPC_arm
3494
            WCEPSPC_emu
3495
            WCEX86A420
3496
            WCEX86A500
3497
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
3498
 
3499
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3500
 
3501
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3502
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3503
    that contain packaging directives.
3504
 
3505
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3506
    very unusual configurations.
3507
 
3508
Minor changes:
3509
  * Directive: PackageFile
3510
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3511
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3512
    an '='.
3513
 
3514
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3515
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3516
 
3517
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3518
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3519
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3520
 
3521
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3522
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3523
 
3524

3525
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3527
Major changes:
3528
 
3529
  * JATS release command
3530
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3531
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3532
 
3533
    Rules are:
3534
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3535
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3536
                            File will be placed on a branch
3537
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3538
                            New directory will branch
3539
 
3540
Minor changes:
3541
  * JATS release command
3542
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3543
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3544
 
3545
  * JATS label command
3546
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
3547
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
3548
 
3549
  * JATS make
3550
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
3551
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
3552
    was re-packaged.
3553
 
3554
  * JATS escrow
3555
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
3556
    Use jats escrow -help for details
3557
 
3558
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
3559
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
3560
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
3561
 
3562
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
3563
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
3564
    interface directory.
3565
 
3566
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
3567
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
3568
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
3569
    directory as seen by the package.
3570
 
3571
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
3572
 
3573
  * JAVA 6
3574
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
3575
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
3576
 
3577
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
3578
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
3579
 
3580
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
3581
 
3582
  * Jats command: vars
3583
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
3584
    These indicate potential problems.
3585
 
3586
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3587
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
3588
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3589
Major changes:
3590
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
3591
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
3592
    libarry is also created.
3593
 
3594
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
3595
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
3596
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
3597
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
3598
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
3599
    information contained within the file.
3600
 
3601
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
3602
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
3603
 
3604
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
3605
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
3606
 
3607
  * Building Perl Modules
3608
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
3609
    documentation on the build machine.
3610
 
3611
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
3612
 
3613
Minor changes:
3614
  * jats create_dpkg
3615
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
3616
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
3617
 
3618
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3619
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
3620
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3621
Major changes:
3622
  * JATS JAVA build target
3623
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
3624
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
3625
 
3626
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
3627
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
3628
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
3629
    is then picked up as the default version.
3630
 
3631
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
3632
    build.pl file.
3633
 
3634
Minor changes:
3635
  * jats release
3636
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
3637
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
3638
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
3639
 
3640
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
3641
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
3642
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
3643
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
3644
    the name of the view.
3645
 
3646
  * GenerateFiles directive
3647
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
3648
 
3649
  * MOS Toolset
3650
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
3651
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
3652
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
3653
 
3654
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
3655
 
3656
 
3657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3658
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
3659
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3660
Major changes:
3661
 
3662
Minor changes:
3663
  * JATS environment
3664
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
3665
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
3666
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
3667
 
3668
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
3669
 
3670
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
3671
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
3672
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
3673
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
3674
    to be packaged.
3675
 
3676
  * Generated makefiles
3677
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
3678
 
3679
  * Generating MOS THX files
3680
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
3681
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
3682
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
3683
 
3684
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
3685
 
3686
  * JATS release
3687
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
3688
 
3689
  * JATS extract
3690
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
3691
 
3692
  * JATS Toolset
3693
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
3694
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
3695
 
3696
 
3697
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3698
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
3699
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3700
Major changes:
3701
 
3702
Minor changes:
3703
  * jats label
3704
    Added a -vob=name option
3705
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
3706
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
3707
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
3708
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
3709
 
3710
    Added a -user=name option
3711
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
3712
    label to the named user.
3713
 
3714
  * jats release
3715
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
3716
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
3717
 
3718
  * JATS build.pl
3719
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
3720
    ie:
3721
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
3722
 
3723
 
3724
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3725
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
3726
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3727
Major changes:
3728
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
3729
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
3730
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
3731
    the makefile internals. ie:
3732
        --Var(BuildName)
3733
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
3734
        -BuildName=MyPackage
3735
 
3736
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
3737
 
3738
  * GenerateFiles
3739
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
3740
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
3741
 
3742
  * BuildPlatforms
3743
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
3744
 
3745
Minor changes:
3746
  * GCC Toolset
3747
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
3748
 
3749
Internal changes:
3750
  * GenerateFiles
3751
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
3752
 
3753
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
3754
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
3755
 
3756
 
3757
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3758
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
3759
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3760
Major changes:
3761
  * Caching JATS
3762
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
3763
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
3764
 
3765
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
3766
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
3767
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
3768
 
3769
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
3770
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
3771
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
3772
 
3773
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
3774
 
3775
Minor changes:
3776
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
3777
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
3778
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
3779
 
3780
  * jats build
3781
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
3782
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
3783
    processed by the build.
3784
 
3785
  * jats build
3786
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
3787
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
3788
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
3789
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
3790
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
3791
 
3792
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
3793
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
3794
    Path is not specified.
3795
 
3796
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
3797
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
3798
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
3799
        --Dir=$Pinc
3800
    but $Pinc is not defined.
3801
 
3802
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
3803
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
3804
    Windows platform.
3805
 
3806
        - OPTIONS=purecov
3807
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
3808
            by 'purecov.
3809
 
3810
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3811
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
3812
 
3813
        - OPTIONS=purify
3814
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3815
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
3816
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
3817

3820
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
3821
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3822
Major changes:
3823
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
3824
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
3825
    Example:
3826
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
3827
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
3828
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
3829
 
3830
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
3831
    been determined.
3832
 
3833
Minor changes:
3834
  * Added the ScanList directive.
3835
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
3836
    located at build-time.
3837
 
3838
  * Unix based systems
3839
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
3840
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
3841
 
3842
  * MakeLinuxDriver
3843
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
3844
    driver being built.
3845
 
3846
 
3847
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3848

3851
 
3852
 
3853
Minor changes:
3854
  * jats_rewrite tool
3855
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
3856
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
3857
 
3858
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
3859
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
3860
 
3861
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
3862
    dependancy information within a package.
3863
 
3864
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
3865
    messages.
3866
 
3867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3868
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
3869
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3870
Major changes:
3871
  * makefile.pl directives
3872
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
3873
 
3874
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
3875
 
3876
    GenerateFiles.
3877
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
3878
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
3879
                      be run on every invocation.
3880
 
3881
 
3882
Minor changes:
3883
  * Added the jats version command
3884
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
3885
 
3886
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
3887
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
3888
  There are two mechanism:
3889
 
3890
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
3891
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
3892
 
3893
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
3894
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
3895
 
3896
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
3897
  default.
3898
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
3899
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
3900

Version: JATS_2.60.0                                Released: 03-Nov-06
3903
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3904
Major changes:
3905
  * SunWorks Toolset
3906
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
3907
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
3908
    It is based on machine type.
3909
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
3910
 
3911
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
3912
 
3913
Minor changes:
3914
  * Perl DBI interface
3915
    Removed the message showing database connection
3916
 
3917
  * JATS internal library
3918
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
3919
 
3920
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3921
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
3922
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3923
Major changes:
3924
  * GCC Toolset
3925
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
3926
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
3927
    Removed the use of `uname`.
3928
 
3929
  * Added platforms
3930
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
3931
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3932
    TP5600_EMU
3933
 
3934
Minor changes:
3935
  * descpkg file reader
3936
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
3937
    field separator.
3938
 
3939
  * JATS eprog command
3940
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
3941
 
3942
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
3943
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
3944
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
3945
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
3946
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
3947
 
3948
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
3949
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
3950
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
3951
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
3952
 
3953
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
3954
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
3955
 
3956

3969
  * JATS wrapper script
3970
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories

4016
    Theses are:
4017
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4018
        SOLARIS_AMD
4019
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4020
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4021

Major changes:
4034
 
4035
Minor changes:
4036
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4037
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4038
    messages
4039
 
4040
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4041
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4042
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4043
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4044
 
4045
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4046
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
4047
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4048
Major changes:
4049
 
4050
Minor changes:
4051
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4052
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4053
    library without creating the body of the library:
4054
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4055
 
4056
 
4057
  * MOS toolsets
4058
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4059
    library without creating the body of the library:
4060
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4061
 
4062
  * JATS BIN directories
4063
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4064
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4065
    using autoconf.
4066
 
4067
  * Generate directive
4068
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4069
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4070
 
4071
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4072

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4075
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4076
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4077
Major changes:
4078
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4079
    Initial release.
4080
 
4081
Minor changes:
4082
 
4083

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4085
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4086
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4087
Major changes:
4088
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4089
    Initial release.
4090
 
4091
  * Packaging directives
4092
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4093
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4094
 
4095
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4096
        SOLARIS
4097
        WIN32
4098
 
4099
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4100
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4101
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4102
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4103
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4104
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4105
 
4106
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4107
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4108
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4109
 
4110
 
4111
Minor changes:
4112
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4113
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4114
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4115
 
4116
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4117
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4118
    location
4119
 
4120
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4121
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4122
 
4123
  * Utility genrc
4124
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4125
 
4126
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4127
    Added option: -new
4128
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4129
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4130
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4131
 
4132
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4133
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4134
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4135
 
4136
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4137
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4138
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4139
 
4140
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4141
   features - in a uniform manner.
4142
 
4143
 
4144
Internal Changes:
4145
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4146
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4147
 
4148
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4149
        1) Platform information available at build time
4150
        2) Dynamic platform names
4151
 
4152
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4153
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4154
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4155
 
4156
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4157
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4158
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4159
 
4160
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4161
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4162
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4163
    needed.
4164
 
4165
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4166
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4167
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4168
    files from all of these.
4169

4171
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
4172
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4173
Major changes:
4174
 
4175
Minor changes:
4176
  * WinCE toolset
4177
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4178
 
4179
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4180
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4181
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4182
Major changes:
4183
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4184
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4185
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4186
 
4187
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4188
 
4189
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4190
    the operations.
4191
 
4192
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4193
 
4194
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4195
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4196
 
4197
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4198
 
4199
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4200
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4201
 
4202
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4203
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4204
    Extended the built-in help
4205
    Added useful error messages
4206
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4207
 
4208
  * WinCE toolset
4209
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4210
 
4211
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4212
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4213
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4214
 
4215
Minor changes:
4216
  * JATS wrapper script
4217
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4218
    the command line.
4219
 
4220
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4221
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4222
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4223
 
4224
Internal Changes:
4225
  * Common Error Reporting
4226
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4227
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4228
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4229
    level.
4230
 
4231
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4232
    displayed.
4233
 
4234
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4235
 
4236
  * Added JatsSystem module
4237
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4239
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

4241
Major changes:
4242
 
4243
Minor changes:
4244
  * BR Compiler toolset
4245
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4246
    .def files to include other files.
4247
 
4248
  * IAR toolset
4249
    Added AT7272 support
4250
 
4251
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4252
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4253
 
4254
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4255
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4257
Major changes:
4258
 
4259
Minor changes:
4260
  * BR Compiler toolset
4261
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4262
    use.
4263
 
4264
 
4265
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4266
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4267
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4268
Major changes:
4269
 
4270
Minor changes:
4271
  * Mictotec toolset
4272
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4273
    builds.
4274
 
4275
  * JATS Core
4276
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4277
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4278
    behaviour.
4279
 
4280
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4281
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4282
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4283
Major changes:
4284
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4285
    Deployment package will be affected.
4286
 
4287
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4288
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4289
 
4290
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4291
 
4292
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4293
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4294
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4295
    packages.
4296
 
4297
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4298
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4299
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4300
 
4301
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4302
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4303
 
4304
Minor changes:
4305
  * SubDir directive
4306
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4307
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4308
 
4309
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4310
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4311
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4312
    of the file usage.
4313
 
4314
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4315
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4316
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4317
 
4318
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4319
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4320
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4321
 
4322
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4323
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4324
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4325
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4326
 
4327
 
4328
Internal Changes:
4329
  * Code refactor
4330
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4331
 
4332
  * Deployment utilities
4333
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4334
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4335
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4336
    the module can locate the file.
4337
 
4338
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4339
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4340
 
4341
  * JATS core
4342
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4343
 
4344
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4345
 
4346
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4347
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4348
    through the use of environment variables.
4349
 
4350
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4351
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4352
 
4353
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4354
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4355
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4356
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4357
 
4358
  * Make environment
4359
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4360
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4361
 
4362
 
4363

4373
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4374
 
4375
Not Released.
4376
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4377
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4378

Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4382
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4383
Major changes:
4384
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4385
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4386
    radically replaced.
4387
 
4388
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4389
    Usage:
4390
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4391
 
4392
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4393
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4394
    this solution:
4395
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4396
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4397
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4398
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4399
 
4400
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4401
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4402
    order to work.
4403
 
4404
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4405
    reduced functionality.
4406
 
4407
 
4408
Minor changes:
4409
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4410
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4411
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4412
 
4413
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4414
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4415
    within the makefiles.
4416
        Options:
4417
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4418
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4419
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4420
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4421
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4422
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4423
        Useage:
4424
 
4425
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4426
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4427
 
4428
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4429
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4430
    is not in the current directory.
4431
 
4432
  * Jats Command: ant'
4433
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4434
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4435
 
4436
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4437
 
4438
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4439
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4440
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4441
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4442
 
4443
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4444
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4445
    Thus
4446
 
4447
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4448
 
4449
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4450
 
4451

4453
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4454
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4455
Major changes:
4456
 
4457
Minor changes:
4458
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4459
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4460
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4461
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4462
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4463
 
4464
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4465
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4466
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4467
 
4468
Internal changes:
4469
  * JATS toolsets
4470
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4471
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4472
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4473
 
4474
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4475
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4476
 
4477
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4478
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4479
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4480
Major changes:
4481
  * Jats command: etool
4482
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4483
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4484
 
4485
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4486
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4487
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4488
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4489
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4490
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4491
 
4492
Minor changes:
4493
 
4494
 
4495
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4496
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4497
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4498
Major changes:
4499
  * JATS environment variables
4500
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4501
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4502
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4503
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4504
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4505
 
4506
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4507
              Remote repository
4508
 
4509
    Added GBE_DPLY
4510
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4511
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4512
 
4513
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4514
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4515
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4516
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4517
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4518
 
4519
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4520
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4521
 
4522
 
4523
Minor changes:
4524
  * JATS utility: build
4525
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4526
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4527
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4528
 
4529
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4530
    Ensure label is not locked
4531
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4532
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4533
 
4534
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4535
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4536
    to a specific type of build.
4537
 
4538
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
4539
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
4540
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
4541
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
4542
 
4543
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
4544
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
4545
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
4546
 
4547
  * JATS utility: release
4548
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
4549
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
4550
 
4551
  * JATS utility: label
4552
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
4553
    when it is being created.
4554
 
4555
Internal Changes
4556
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
4557
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
4558
 
4559
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
4560
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
4561
 
4562
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
4563
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
4564
    different results.
4565
 
4566
  * ToolsetRequire directive
4567
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
4568
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
4569
 
4570
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4571
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
4572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4573
Major changes:
4574
 
4575
  * MCR toolset
4576
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
4577
 
4578
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4579
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
4580
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4581
Major changes:
4582
  * WIN32 utilities
4583
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
4584
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
4585
 
4586
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
4587
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
4588
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
4589
 
4590
Minor changes:
4591
  * BuildVersion
4592
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
4593
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
4594
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
4595
 
4596
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
4597
 
4598
  * Unix Builds
4599
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
4600
    library or a shared library.
4601
 
4602
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
4603
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
4604
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
4605
    start with 'lib'.
4606
 
4607
  * BuildPkgArchive
4608
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
4609
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
4610
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
4611
 
4612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4613
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
4614
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4615
Major changes:
4616
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4617
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
4618
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
4619
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
4620
    being manually maintained.
4621
 
4622
 
4623
Minor changes:
4624
  * MakeAnt directive
4625
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
4626
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
4627
    supports ANT builds.
4628
 
4629
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4630
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
4631
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
4632
 
4633
  * Label utility
4634
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
4635
    files to be labeled.
4636
 
4637
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
4638
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
4639
    on Solaris.
4640
 
4641
  * Generated makefiles
4642
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
4643
    nothing.
4644
 
4645
  * MOS Toolset
4646
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
4647
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
4648
    modules.
4649
 
4650
  * Utility: gen_cots
4651
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
4652
    and then check it in under clearcase.
4653
 
4654
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
4655
 
4656
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
4657
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
4658
 
4659
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4660
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
4661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4662
Major changes:
4663
  None
4664
 
4665
Minor changes:
4666
  * DEVI addressed
4667
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
4668
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
4669
 
4670
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
4671
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
4672
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
4673
 
4674
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
4675
 
4676
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
4677
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
4678
 
4679
  * RunTest directive
4680
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
4681
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
4682
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
4683
 
4684
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
4685
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
4686
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
4687
    packaged under JATS
4688
 
4689
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
4690
          supported within JATS.
4691
 
4692
  * Jats utility wrapper
4693
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
4694
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
4695
 
4696
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
4697
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
4698
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
4699
 
4700
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
4701
    Eg: jats ant
4702
 
4703
  * Jats utility wrapper
4704
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
4705
 
4706
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
4707
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
4708
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
4709
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
4710
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
4711
 
4712
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
4713
    expect a build.pl file.
4714
 
4715
  * Jats utility wrapper
4716
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
4717
 
4718
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
4719
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
4720
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
4721
 
4722
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
4723
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
4724
 
4725
  * Build files
4726
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
4727
    ERG extensions.
4728
 
4729
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4730
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
4731
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4732
Major changes:
4733
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
4734
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
4735
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
4736
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
4737
 
4738
    This may cause module validation to fail.
4739
 
4740
Minor changes:
4741
  * None
4742
 
4743
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4744
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
4745
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4746
Major changes:
4747
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
4748
    Added option --Uses=NAME
4749
    ie:
4750
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
4751
 
4752
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
4753
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
4754
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
4755
    environments are compatible.
4756
 
4757
 
4758
Minor changes:
4759
  * BuildName option
4760
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
4761
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
4762
 
4763
  * jats.bat
4764
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
4765
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
4766
 
4767
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4768
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
4769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4770
Major changes:
4771
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4772
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
4773
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
4774
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
4775
 
4776
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
4777
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
4778
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
4779
 
4780
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
4781
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
4782
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
4783
 
4784
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
4785
    transferred.
4786
 
4787
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
4788
    See notes below.
4789
 
4790
  * WIN32 toolset
4791
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
4792
    correctly.
4793
 
4794
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
4795
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
4796
 
4797
  * BuildVersion
4798
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
4799
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
4800
    other langauges as needed.
4801
 
4802
 
4803
Minor changes:
4804
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
4805
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
4806
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
4807
    version strings.
4808
 
4809
  * GenerateFiles directive
4810
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
4811
    package or an imported package.
4812
 
4813
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
4814
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
4815
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
4816
 
4817
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
4818
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
4819
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
4820
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
4821
    makefiles and strange error messages.
4822
 
4823
Internal Changes
4824
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
4825
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
4826
    of utilities.
4827
 
4828
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
4829
    functions.
4830
 
4831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4832
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
4833
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4834
Major changes:
4835
  * Generated makefiles
4836
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
4837
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
4838
    that sed did not process its arguments.
4839
 
4840
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
4841
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
4842
    incorrectly processing:
4843
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
4844
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
4845
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
4846
    confused.
4847
 
4848
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
4849
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
4850
    The construct
4851
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
4852
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
4853
    then it works.
4854
 
4855
  * MakeAnt directive
4856
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
4857
 
4858
    This option has the following effects
4859
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
4860
           can be used installed and manipulated.
4861
 
4862
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
4863
           early - in the generated files phase.
4864
 
4865
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
4866
    component needs to generate a header file early.
4867
 
4868
 
4869
Minor changes:
4870
  * JATS post-installation script
4871
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
4872
 
4873
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
4874
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
4875
    windows.
4876
 
4877
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
4878
    Handle all variants of BuildName
4879
 
4880
  * Jats wrapper script
4881
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
4882
        1) Contain spaces
4883
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
4884
 
4885
  * Toolset
4886
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
4887
 
4888
  * JAVA toolset
4889
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
4890
    directive:
4891
 
4892
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
4893
 
4894
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
4895
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
4896
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
4897
 
4898
  * GCC Toolset
4899
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
4900
 
4901
  * Makefile generation
4902
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
4903
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
4904
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
4905
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
4906
    package could not be used.
4907
 
4908
  * Unit Tests
4909
    The following environment variables are set:
4910
 
4911
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
4912
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
4913
 
4914
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
4915
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
4916
 
4917
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
4918
 
4919
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4920
 
4921
 
4922
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4923
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
4924
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4925
Major changes:
4926
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
4927
 
4928
    Special features of this toolset.
4929
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
4930
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
4931
       incorporated within the target image.
4932
 
4933
    2) Prog directive extensions:
4934
       --Set=Name=Value
4935
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
4936
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
4937
 
4938
       --Ref=name
4939
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
4940
                to provide information that will be placed within the
4941
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
4942
                will be taken from the build version number.
4943
 
4944
Minor changes:
4945
  * MOS Toolset
4946
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
4947
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
4948
    packaged.
4949
 
4950
  * Src directive
4951
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
4952
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
4953
    specifier.
4954
 
4955
  * WIN32 runtime support
4956
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
4957
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
4958
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
4959
 
4960
Internal:
4961
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
4962
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
4963
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
4964
 
4965
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4966
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
4967
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4968
Major changes:
4969
    * BuildAlias directive
4970
      Added options.
4971
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
4972
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
4973
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
4974
                          targets.
4975
      Eg:
4976
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
4977
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
4978
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
4979
 
4980
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
4981
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
4982
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
4983
 
4984
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
4985
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
4986
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
4987
 
4988
 
4989
Minor changes:
4990
  * Label utility
4991
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
4992
    build.pl file
4993
 
4994
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
4995
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
4996
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
4997
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
4998
    --FilterIn option.
4999
 
5000
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5001
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5002
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5003
 
5004
  * Location of descpkg file
5005
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5006
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5007
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5008
 
5009
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5010
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5011
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5012
Major changes:
5013
  * RunTest directive
5014
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5015
    Additional options
5016
      --CopyIn=file
5017
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5018
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5019
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5020
        the test area.
5021
 
5022
    Additional operations
5023
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5024
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5025
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5026
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5027
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5028
    Allows flags:
5029
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5030
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5031
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5032
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5033
 
5034
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5035
    existence is tested.
5036
 
5037
  * Packaging Directives
5038
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5039
    such as LMOS.
5040
 
5041
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5042
 
5043
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5044
 
5045
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5046
 
5047
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5048
 
5049
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5050
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5051
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5052
 
5053
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5054
 
5055
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5056
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5057
 
5058
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5059
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5060
 
5061
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5062
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5063
 
5064
Minor changes:
5065
  * Script directive
5066
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5067
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5068
 
5069
  * JATS environment
5070
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5071
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5072
    the JATS wrapper script.
5073
 
5074
  * Label utility
5075
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5076
    There are three modes of operation:
5077
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5078
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5079
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5080
 
5081
 
5082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5083
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5084
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5085
Major changes:
5086
 
5087
Minor changes:
5088
  * label utility
5089
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5090
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5091
 
5092
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5093
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5094
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5095
      --ProgLoader=name
5096
 
5097
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5098
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5099
    Options to do this are:
5100
        --TreeDir=name
5101
        --FilterOut=regexp
5102
        --FilterIn=regexp
5103
        --StripDir
5104
 
5105
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5106
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5107
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5108
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5109
 
5110
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5111
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5112
 
5113
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5114
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5115
 
5116
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5117
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5118
 
5119
 
5120
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5121
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5122
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5123
Major changes:
5124
    * Make commands
5125
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5126
 
5127
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5128
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5129
 
5130
    * Label utility
5131
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5132
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5133
 
5134
Minor changes:
5135
    * Toolsets
5136
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5137
      variables and overrides.
5138
 
5139
      The make_init target is always run.
5140
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5141
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5142
 
5143
    * Deployment
5144
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5145
      with deployment operations.
5146
 
5147
    * Release utility
5148
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5149
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5150
      restricted by options within the build.
5151
 
5152
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5153
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5154
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5155
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5156
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5157
 
5158
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5159
      directives.
5160
 
5161
    * MakeProject directive
5162
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5163
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5164
 
5165
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5166
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5167
      is preserved.
5168
 
5169
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5170
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5171
      statements.
5172
 
5173
    * Mugfile generation
5174
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5175
      be placed in the target package.
5176
 
5177
 
5178
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5179
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5180
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5181
Major changes:
5182
    * BuildVersion directive
5183
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5184
      number as well as a patch number.
5185
 
5186
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5187
      number.
5188
 
5189
Minor changes:
5190
    * AddFlags directives
5191
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5192
      duplicate flags being added.
5193
 
5194
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5195
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5196
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5197
 
5198
    * Mug File Generation
5199
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5200
 
5201
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5202
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5203
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5204
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5205
     directory.
5206
 
5207
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5208
     reproducible.

5211
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5213
Major changes:
5214
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5215
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5216
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5217
      longer a list of directories.
5218
 
5219
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5220
      done within the toolset.
5221
 
5222
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5223
 
5224
    * JATS environment variables
5225
      Redefined variable
5226
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5227
                          Previously was a list that included the
5228
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5229
 
5230
      New variable
5231
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5232
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5233
 
5234
 
5235
Minor changes:
5236
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5237
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5238
      target platforms to be extracted.
5239
 
5240
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5241
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5242
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5243
 
5244
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5245
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5246
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5247
 
5248
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5249
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5250
 
5251
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5252
      Support ANT based XML files
5253
 
5254
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5255
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5256
      structure.
5257
 
5258
    * makefile.pl's
5259
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5260
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5261
 
5262
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5263
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5264
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5265
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5266
 
5267
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5268
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5269
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5270
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5271
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5272
      -- Auto.
5273
 
5274
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5275
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5276
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5277
 
5278
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5279
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5280
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5281
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5282
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5283
 
5284
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5285
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5286
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5287
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5288
      installed on the machine.
5289
 
5290
    * WINCE Targets
5291
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5292
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5293
 
5294
 
5295
 
5296
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5297
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5298
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5299
Major changes:
5300
    * WIN32 platforms
5301
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5302
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5303
      and installed packages.
5304
 
5305
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5306
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5307
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5308
 
5309
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5310
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5311
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5312
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5313
      searched when looking for libraries.
5314
 
5315
Minor changes:
5316
    * GenerateFiles directive
5317
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5318
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5319
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5320
                          and drive letter
5321
 
5322
    * Src directive
5323
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5324
      directory of a package.
5325
 
5326
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5327
 
5328
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5329
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5330
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5331
 
5332
    * jats_rewrite utility
5333
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5334
 
5335
 
5336
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5337
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5338
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5339
Major changes:
5340
    * SunWorks production builds
5341
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5342
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5343
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5344
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5345
      compiler documentation.
5346
 
5347
    * MOS Toolset
5348
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5349
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5350
 
5351
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5352
 
5353
Minor changes:
5354
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5355
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5356
      This should not affect current users.
5357
 
5358
    * Mugfile generation
5359
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5360
      specified.
5361
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5362
 
5363
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5364
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5365
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5366
Major changes:
5367
    MOS Toolset
5368
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5369
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5370
 
5371
Minor changes:
5372
    * Jats wrapper script
5373
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5374
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5375
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5376
 
5377
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5378
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5379
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5380
      may be suspect.
5381
 
5382
    * GenerateFiles directive
5383
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5384
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5385
 
5386
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5387
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5388
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5389
Major changes:
5390
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5391
      build.xml files.
5392
 
5393
Minor changes:
5394
    * WIN32 toolset.
5395
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5396
 
5397
    * MakeAnt
5398
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5399
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5400
 
5401
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5402
 
5403
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5404
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5405
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5406
 
5407
    * MakeAnt directive
5408
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5409
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5410
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5411
 
5412
      Recommended usage:
5413
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5414
 
5415
Internal Changes
5416
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5417

5420
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5421
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5422
Major changes:
5423
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5424
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5425
      files packaged into the release.
5426
 
5427
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
5428
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5431
 
5432
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5433
      The recommended platform is:
5434
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5435
 
5436
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5437
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5438
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5439
      components.
5440
 
5441
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
5442

5445
 
5446
Minor changes:
5447
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5448
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5449
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5450
      by the package to be accessed.
5451
 
5452
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5453
      application or visual studio.
5454
 
5455
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5456
      and the JATS Core path.
5457
 
5458
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5459
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5460
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5461
 
5462
    * MOS Toolset
5463
      Add support for the TPT device
5464
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5465
 
5466
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5467
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5468
 
5469
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5470
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5471
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5472
 
5473
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5474
 
5475
Internal Changes
5476
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5477
      in jats.pl
5478
 
5479
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5480
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5482
Major changes:
5483
    * JATS wrapper script
5484
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5485
 
5486
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5487
 
5488
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5489
 
5490
Minor changes:
5491
    * Deployment support
5492
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5493
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5494
 
5495
    * 'build'
5496
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5497
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5498
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5499
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5500
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5501
 
5502
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5503
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5504
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5505
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5506
                                      the link phase.
5507
 
5508
    * BuildPkgArchive
5509
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5510
      Previously these were ignored.
5511
      Minor code cleanup
5512
 
5513
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5514
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5515
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5516
 
5517
    * SOLARIS targets
5518
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5519
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5520
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5521
 
5522
    * MugFile generation
5523
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5524
      included in the final package.
5525
 
5526
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5527
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5528
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5529
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5530
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5531
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5532
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5533
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5534
 
5535
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5536
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5537
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5538
            --Option=(some_text)
5539
            --Option=[some_text]
5540
            --Option={some_text}
5541
 
5542
Internal Changes
5543
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5544
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5545
      code.
5546
 
5547

5548
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
5549
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5550
Major changes:
5551
    * JATS wrapper script
5552
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
5553
 
5554
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
5555
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
5556
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
5557
      other components.
5558
 
5559
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
5560
 
5561
    * JATS
5562
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
5563
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
5564
 
5565
    * Build operations
5566
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
5567
      if required packages are built against different versions of
5568
      packages.
5569
 
5570
    * Make operations
5571
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
5572
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
5573
 
5574
Minor changes:
5575
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
5576
      deployment builds.
5577
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
5578
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
5579
 
5580
      Extended the "jats vars" display
5581
 
5582
    * build.pl
5583
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
5584
        processed. Allows
5585
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
5586
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
5587
        production.
5588
 
5589
    * MOS toolset
5590
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
5591
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
5592
 
5593
    * create_dpkg utility
5594
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
5595
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
5596
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
5597
      progress of the build.
5598
 
5599
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
5600
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
5601
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
5602
      system.
5603

5606
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5607
Major changes:
5608
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5609
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
5610
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
5611
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
5612
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
5613
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
5614
 
5615
    * WCEX86A500 target
5616
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
5617
 
5618
    * MOS Toolsets
5619
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
5620
      the compiler.
5621
 
5622
    * RunTest directive
5623
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
5624
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
5625
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
5626
 
5627
Minor changes:
5628
    * JATS BUILD
5629
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
5630
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
5631
      highlight bad settings.
5632
 
5633
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
5634
      access to extensions.
5635
 
5636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5637
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
5638
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5639
Major changes:
5640
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5641
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
5642
 
5643
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
5644
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
5645
      under unix.
5646
 
5647
Minor changes:
5648
    * label utility
5649
      Added options to:
5650
        o Delete a label
5651
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
5652
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
5653
 
5654
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5655
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
5656
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
5657
      Package directives.
5658
 
5659
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
5660
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
5661
      system.
5662
 
5663
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5664
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
5665
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5666
Major changes:
5667
    * MOS Toolset
5668
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
5669
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
5670
 
5671
    * WIN32 Toolset
5672
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
5673
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
5674
      list.
5675
 
5676
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
5677
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
5678
 
5679
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
5680
 
5681
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
5682
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
5683
 
5684
 
5685
Minor changes:
5686
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
5687
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
5688
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
5689
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
5690
      corrected.
5691
 
5692
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
5693
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
5694
 
5695
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
5696
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
5697
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
5698

5700
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
5701
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5702
Major changes:
5703
    * WIN32 Toolset
5704
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
5705
      use with multithreaded modes.
5706
 
5707
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
5708
      --OnlyProd.
5709
 
5710
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
5711
      within the makefile.pl.
5712
 
5713
Minor changes:
5714
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
5715
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
5716
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
5717
      platforms.
5718
 
5719
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
5720
 
5721
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5722
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
5723
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5724
Major changes:
5725
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
5726
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
5727
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
5728
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
5729
 
5730
    * Preliminary Support
5731
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
5732
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
5733
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
5734
 
5735
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
5736
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
5737
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
5738
 
5739
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
5740
      building. The default build will build both.
5741
 
5742
Minor changes:
5743
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
5744
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
5745
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
5746
 
5747
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
5748
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
5749
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
5750
 
5751

5753
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
5754
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5755
Major changes:
5756
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
5757
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
5758
      or all.
5759
 
5760
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
5761
      the library or program.
5762
 
5763
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
5764
 
5765
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
5766
      library or any debug files.
5767
 
5768
    * GenerateFiles
5769
      All processed arguments now support two options.
5770
 
5771
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
5772
              directory in which the prereq file is found
5773
 
5774
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
5775
              The filename of the prereq file
5776
 
5777
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
5778
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
5779
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
5780
 
5781
 
5782
Minor changes:
5783
    * create_dpkg utility
5784
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
5785
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
5786
      the package has been altered.
5787

5794
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
5795
 
5796
    * New toolset
5797
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
5798
 
5799
    * Modified toolset
5800
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
5801
 
5802
    * Modified toolset
5803
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
5804
 
5805
Minor changes:
5806
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
5807
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
5808
 
5809
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
5810
 
5811
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
5812
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
5813
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
5814
 
5815
      The change allows the construct
5816
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
5817
      to be replaced by the simpler
5818
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
5819
 
5820
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
5821
      specified name.    
5822

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5842
Major changes:
5843
    * The "package.pl" file.
5844
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
5845
      package name being taken from the build name
5846
 
5847
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
5848
      package Build Name.
5849
 
5850
Minor changes:
5851
    * create_dpkg utility

    * Dependancy generator
5861
      Correct two common situations
5862
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
5863
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
5864
           ansi, but is often done.
5865
 
5866
    * GCC toolset
5867
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
5868
      being created in the correct place.
5869
 
5870
    * jats "label"
5871
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
5872
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
5873
 
5874
 
5875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5876
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
5877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5878
Major changes:
5879
 
5880
Minor changes:
5881
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
5882
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
5883
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
5884
 
5885
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
5886
      pkg directory will be transferred.
5887
 
5888
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
5889
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
5890

    * Support for solaris_i386
5897
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
5898
      binaries for this target.
5899
 
5900
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
5901
      with the GCC compiler.
5902
 
5903
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
5904
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
5905
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
5906
 
5907
Minor changes:
5908
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5909
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
5910
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5911
 
5912
    * cbuild ( release) utility
5913
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
5914
 
5915
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5916
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
5917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5918
Major changes:
5919
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5920
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
5921
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5922
 
5923
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
5924
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
5925
 
5926
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
5927
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
5928
      with either " or ' characters.
5929
 
5930
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
5931
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
5932
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
5933
 
5934
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
5935
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
5936
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
5937
 
5938
    * Jats wrapper
5939
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
5940
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
5941
      further commands.
5942
 
5943
Minor changes:
5944
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
5945
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
5946
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
5947
      name of the .dep file and its content.
5948
 
5949
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5950
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
5951
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5952
Major changes:
5953
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
5954
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
5955
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
5956
 
5957
      These options operation affect all components within the
5958
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
5959
      then they will affect all components within the build.
5960
 
5961
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
5962
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.

5976
 
5977
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
5978
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.

Major changes:
5984
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
5985
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
5986
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
5987
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
5988
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
5989
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
5990
      installed.
5991
 
5992
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
5993
      libraries that depend on each other.
5994
 
5995
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
5996
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
5997
 
5998
Minor changes:
5999
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6000
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6001
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6002
 
6003
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6004
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6005
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6006
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6007

6009
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6010
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6011
Major changes:
6012
 
6013
Minor changes:
6014
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6015
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6016
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6017
      file.
6018
 
6019
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6020
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6021
 
6022
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6023
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6024
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6025
 
6026
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6027
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6028
 
6029
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6030
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6031
 
6032
    * WinCE toolsets
6033
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6034
      compiler specific libraries.
6035
 
6036
    * SOLARIS toolset
6037
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6038
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6039
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6040
 
6041
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6042
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6043
      cleaned up.
6044
 
6045
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6046
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6047
 
6048
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6049
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6050
      with either " or ' characters.
6051
 
6052
 
6053
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6054
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6055
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6056
Major changes:
6057
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6058
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6059
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6060
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6061
 
6062
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6063
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6064
 
6065
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6066
      user.
6067
 
6068
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6069
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6070
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6071
 
6072
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6073
      for the   -Gf option.
6074
 
6075
Minor changes:
6076
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6077
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6078
 
6079
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6080
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6081
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6082
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6083
 
6084
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6085
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6086
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6087
Major changes:
6088
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6089
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6090
 
6091
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6092
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6093
      data addresses for the board.
6094
 
6095
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6096
 
6097
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6098
 
6099
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6100
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6101
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6102
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6103
         PackageFile
6104
 
6105
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6106
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6107
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6108
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6109
 
6110
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6111
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6112
      to be installed and packaged.
6113
 
6114
Minor changes:
6115
 
6116
    * cache_dpkg utility
6117
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6118
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6119
 
6120
    * label utility
6121
      New option -auto to create and label
6122
 
6123
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6124
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6125
 
6126
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6127
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6128
      directory. ie:
6129
 
6130
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6131
 
6132
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6133
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6134
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6135
 
6136
 
6137
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6138
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6139
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6140
Major changes:
6141
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6142
 
6143
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6144
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6145
 
6146
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6147
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6148
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6149
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6150
 
6151
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6152
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6153
      compilation.
6154
 
6155
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6156
 
6157
Minor changes:
6158
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6159
      one is being produced.
6160
 
6161
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6162
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6163
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6164
 
6165
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6166
 
6167
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6168
 
6169
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6170
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6171
 
6172
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6173
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6174
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6175
Major changes:
6176
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6177
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6178
 
6179
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6180
 
6181
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6182
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6183
      same directory
6184
 
6185
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6186
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6187
      documenattion.
6188
 
6189
Minor changes:
6190
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6191
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6192
 
6193
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6194
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6195
 
6196
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6197
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6198
 
6199
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6200
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6201
 
6202
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6203
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6204
      be exempt from this test.
6205
 
6206
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6207
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6208
 
6209
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6210
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6211
 
6212
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6213
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6214
      does.
6215
 
6216
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6217
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6218
 
6219
 
6220
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6221
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6222
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6223
Major changes:
6224
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6225
 
6226
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6227
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6228
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6229
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6230
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6231
 
6232
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6233
      operations.
6234
 
6235
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6236
 
6237
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6238
 
6239
Minor changes
6240
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6241
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6242
 
6243
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6244
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6245
      directory is not added to the library path.
6246
 
6247
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6248
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6249
 
6250
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6251
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6252
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6253
 
6254
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6255
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6256
      specific flags.
6257
 
6258
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6259
 
6260
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6261
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6262
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6263
 
6264
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6265
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6266
      JATS.
6267
 
6268
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6269
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6270
 
6271
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6272
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6273
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6274
 
6275
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6276
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6277
 
6278
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6279
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6280
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6281
 
6282
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6283
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6284
 
6285
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6286
 
6287
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6288
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6289
 
6290
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6291
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6292
      objects.
6293
 
6294
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6295
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6296
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6297
      build defendants.
