2312 dpurdie 2
Version:  3.0.6000.cr                               Released: 
2074 dpurdie 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
 
2312 dpurdie 10
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2074 dpurdie 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
 
19
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2312 dpurdie 20
Version:  3.0.5000.cr                               Released: 05-Oct-12
21
------------------------------------------------------------------------
22
 
23
Minor changes:
24
    * Jats build
25
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
26
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
27
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
28
 
29
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
30
      command, with a sandbox.
31
 
32
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages
33
 
34
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2053 dpurdie 35
Version:  3.0.4000.cr                               Released: 27-Sep-12

37
 
38
Minor changes:
39
    * Utility: svn
40
      Added two subcommands
41
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
42
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
43
                 Can also display available branches.
44
 
2053 dpurdie 45
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
46
      Added '-keepgoing' option to allow the user to ignore errors
2029 dpurdie 47
 
48
    * Utility: rtag_extract
49
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
50
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
51
 
52
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
53
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
54
      Modified two options:
55
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
56
                        The named branch must not exist
57
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
58
                        The named branch must exist
59
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

92
------------------------------------------------------------------------
93
 
94
Major changes:
95
    * Jats Version Number
96
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
97
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
98
      significantly.
99
 
100
Minor changes:
101

Major changes:
1380 dpurdie 111
    * Subversion support
112
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
113
      SubVersion. Changes include:
114
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
115
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
116
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1341 dpurdie 117
 
118
Minor changes:
1359 dpurdie 119
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
120
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
121
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
122
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
123
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
124
 
1341 dpurdie 125
    * Utility: svnsave_build
126
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
127
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
128
 
1348 dpurdie 129
    * Linux support utilities
130
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
131
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
132
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.
133
 
1341 dpurdie 134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
135
Version:  2.100.6000.cr                               Released: 30-Jul-12
136
------------------------------------------------------------------------
137
Major changes:
1328 dpurdie 138
    * Subversion Repository location
139
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
140
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
141
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
142
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
143
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1269 dpurdie 144
 
145
Minor changes:
1328 dpurdie 146
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
147
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
148
 
1269 dpurdie 149
    * Utility: svnrelease
150
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
151
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
152
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
153
 
1328 dpurdie 154
    * Utility: svnsave_build
155
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
156
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
157
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
158
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1269 dpurdie 159
 
160
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
161
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
162
 
1328 dpurdie 163
    * Utility: sandbox

      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
165
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
166
 
167
      Subcommand: populate
168
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
169
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
170
      sandbox.
171
 
1269 dpurdie 172
    * Subversion Support
173
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
174
      repository is not supported.
175
 
176
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
177
      a progress indication.
178
 
179
    * Jats Online Documentation
180
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
181
      online documentation.
182
 
1328 dpurdie 183
    * Generated makefiles
184

230
Major changes:
231
 
232
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 233
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 234
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
235
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
236
 
237
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 238
      Specialized platform for the VIX 'ITP' product.
383 dpurdie 239
 
240
    * Subversion Support
241

379 dpurdie 259
Version:  2.100.0000.cr                               Released: 23-Mar-12
260
------------------------------------------------------------------------
261
Major changes:
262
 
263
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
264
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
265
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
266
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
267
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
268
 
269
    * C# Toolchain
270
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.
271
 
272
Minor changes:
273
    * Jats wrapper script
274
      New option: -logfile=name
275
 
276
    * Jats configuration
277
      jats.bat example (Windows)
278
      jats.sh example (Unix)
279
      Redefined location of the Perth Subversion server AUPERASVN01
280
 
281
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
282
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
283
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
284
 
285
    * Utility ccrelease
286
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
287
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
288
 
289
    * Utility: svn
290
      Improved package import processing.
291
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
292
 
293
    * Jats Utility: gen_cots
294
      Added support for Subversion.
295
      Subversion is supported on Windows and Unix.
296
      ClearCase is supported on Windows.
297
 
298
    * Jats Utility: vcsdiff
299
      New Utility. Will diff two versions of a package. Supports
300
      mixed ClearCase and Subversion versions.
301
      Under windows it can invoke BeyondCompare
302
      Under Windows and Unix it can perform a MD5 check over both directories.

377 dpurdie 305
Version:  2.99.2000.cr                               Released: 3-Feb-12
306
------------------------------------------------------------------------
307
Major changes:
308
 
309
Minor changes:
310
    * BuildVersion directive
311
      Updated Company Name, Copyright and Trademark strings to 'Vix IP Pty Ltd'
312
 
313
    * GCC Toolset
314
      Added support for filterering warning messages, via a warnings.gcc file

375 dpurdie 317
Version:  2.99.1000.cr                               Released: 13-Jan-12
318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
319
Major changes:
320
 
321
Minor changes:
322
    * Command: jats clobber
323
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
324
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
325
 
326
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
327
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
328
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
329
 
330
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
331
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
332
 
377 dpurdie 333
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
334
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
335
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 336
 
337
    * jats svnlabel
338
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
339
 
340
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
341
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
342
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
343
 
344
    * Built Daemon support
345
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
346
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
347
 
348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
373 dpurdie 349
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
351
Major changes:
352
    * GCC Toolset
353
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
354
      New methodology is:
355
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
356
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
357
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
358
        as the main binary.
359
 
360
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
361
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
362
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
363
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
364
      both worlds.
365
 
366
Minor changes:
367
    * HTML Documentation
368
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
369
 
370
Internal changes:
371
    * Generated makefiles
372
      Removed the make_usage target as it is inaccessible. It was replaced by
373
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.
374

371 dpurdie 376
Version:  2.98.4000.cr                               Released: 23-Dec-11
377
------------------------------------------------------------------------
378
Major changes:
379
    * Jats Sandbox
380
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
381
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
382
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
383
 
384
    * RIORDS Platform
385
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
386
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion
387
 
388
      Package up the 'hex' file created when the .img file is processed.
389
 
390
 
391
Minor changes:
392
    * Processing makefile.pl
393
      Better handling of some shared library arguments for undeclared files
394
      Error detection of some arguments that start with white-space
395

    * HTML Help
498
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
499
 
500
    * jats build -noforce
501
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
502
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
503
      be forced.
504
 
505
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
506
 
507
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
508
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
509
 
510
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
511
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
512
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
513
 
514
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
515
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
516
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
517
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
518
 
519
    * Utility: svnrelease
520
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
521
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
522
 
523
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
524
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
525
 
526
    * Utility: svn
527
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
528
      installed and can be used.
529
 
530
    * Toolset: CSharp
531
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
532
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
533
      character.
534
 
535
    * Toolset: SunWorks
536
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
537
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
538
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
539
      masking an error.
540
 
541
    * Toolset: Delphi7
542
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
543
      enhancement.
544
 
545
    * Toolset: dafbr
546
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
547
 
548
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
549
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
550
        - Return correct path to package
551
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
552
 
553
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
554
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
555
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
556
 
557
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
558
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
559
      packages.
560
 
561
    * make command: show
562
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
563
      'jats make show' command.
564
 
565
    * Utility: create_dpkg
566
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
567
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
568
 
569
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
570
      executed on Unix machines.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
874
Major changes:
875

883
      files for Production and Debug builds.
884
 
885
Minor changes:
886
    * Jats sandbox command
887
      The 'info' subcommand will highlight external packages that cannot be

894
        - the date of creation
895
 
896
    * PackageFile directive

      Now supports --NoRecurse and --Recurse in conjunction with --DirTree
898
 
899
Internal:
900
    * PackageFile, PackageHdr and InstallHdr directives
901
      Removed --Abs option - its not supported

Major changes:
908
 
909
Minor changes:
910
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
911
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
912
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
913
      resulting in multiple builds.
914
 
915
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
916
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
917
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
918
 
919
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
920
 
921
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
922
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
923
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.
924

331 dpurdie 926
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
927
------------------------------------------------------------------------
928
Major changes:
929
 
930
Minor changes:
931
    * Jats label command
932
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
933
      Not recommended for general use.
934
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
935
      directories within the current view.
936
 
937
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
938
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
939
      elsewhere.
940
 
941
    * Jats save_build
942
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
943
      the determination of a branch.
944
 
945
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
946
      up labeling by the build daemons.
947
 
948
    * Jats build
949
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
950
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
951
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
952
 
953
    * Borland6 toolset
954
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
955
      to match the documented install location of:
956
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
957
 
958
    * Jats build
959
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
960
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
961
      This is a very quick operation.
962
 
963
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
964
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
965
 
966
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
967
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
968
      files are only recreated if need be.
969
 
970
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
971
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
972
      make the package.
973
 
974
    * Jats sandbox
975
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
976
 
977
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
978
      be a complete build of all component packages.
979
 
980
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
981
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
982
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
983
      is performed.
984
 
985
Internal:
986
    * build.pl
987
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl            
988

1019
Major changes:
1020
 
1021
Minor changes:
1022
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1023
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1024
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1025
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1026
 
1027
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1028
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1029
 
1030
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1031
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1032
      platform builds.
1033
 
1034
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1035
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1036
      directory tree.
1037
 
1038
    * New command: jats man
1039
      Produces full help on a specified item.
1040
 
1041
Internal changes:
1042
    * jats upddep
1043
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
1044
 
1045
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
1046
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined
1047
      Not yet in use.

323 dpurdie 1050
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
1051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1052
Major changes:
1053
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1054
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1055
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1056
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1057
 
1058
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1059
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1060
 
1061
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1062
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1063
 
1064
      Examples:
1065
            jats upddep -show
1066
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1067
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1068
 
1069
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1070
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1071
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1072
 
1073
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1074
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1075
 
1076
Minor changes:
1077
 
1078
Internal changes:
1079
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
1080
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
1084
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1085
Major changes:
1086
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1087
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1088
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1089
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1090
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1091
      stream.
1092
 
1093
      Example:
1094
 
1095
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1096
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1097
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1098
                     );
1099
Minor changes:
1100
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1101
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1102
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1103
      directive.
1104
 
1105
    * GCC Toolkit
1106
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1107
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1108
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1109
      the point of termination.
1110
 
1111
    * Jats save_build utility
1112
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1113
      under windows.
1114
 
1115
    * Jats sandbox
1116
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1117
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1118
      in different sandboxes.
1119
 
1120
    * Jats release
1121
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1122

1128
Minor changes:
1129
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1130
      Added -locatedir=name
1131
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1132
      directory.
1133
 
1134
    * jats label utility
1135
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1136
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1137
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1138
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1139
 
1140
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1141

Major changes:
317 dpurdie 1146
 
1147
Minor changes:
1148
    * WinCe Toolsets
1149
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1150
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1151
        noExceptions            - Disable
1152
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1153
      Example:
1154
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1155
 
1156
    * Solaris targets
1157
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1158
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1159
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1160
      machine type.
1161
 
1162

1163
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1164
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1165
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1166
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1167
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1168
      project files.
1169
 
1170
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1171
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1172
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1173
 
1174
Minor changes:
1175
    * Added more internal documentation
1176
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1177
 
1178
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1179
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1180
 
1181
    * Jats save_build utility
1182
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1183
      under windows.
1184
 
1185
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1186
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1187
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1188
      libraries.
1189
 
1190
    * Solaris builds
1191
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1192
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1193
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1194
      of the build failure.
1195
 
1196
 
1197
Internal changes:
1198
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1199
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1200
 
1201
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1202
      PkgArchive topics.

    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1209
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1210
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1211
      existing 32-bit builds.
1212
 
1213
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

1217
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1218
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1219
 
1220
    * Package searching
1221
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1222
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1223
 
1224
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1225
 
1226
    * jats help
1227
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1228
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1229
 
1230
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1231
      with one of:
1232
        jats -h
1233
        jats help jats
1234
 
1235
Internal:
1236
    * cmdfile utility
1237
      Added macros:
1238
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1239
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1240
 
1241
      Corrected
1242
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1243
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1244
 
1245

1253
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1254
Major changes:
1255
 
1256
Minor changes:
1257
 
1258
Internal changes
1259
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1260
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1261
      Useful side effects include:
1262
 
1263
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1264
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1265
 
1266
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1267
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1268
 
1269
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1270
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1271
        BuildPkgArchive
1272
 
313 dpurdie 1273
    * Perl Modules
1274
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1275
      release. This will:
1276
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1277
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1278
          reported by ERG.
1279
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Version:  2.80.3000.cr                               Released: 01-Dec-09
1283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1284
Major changes:
1285
 
1286
Minor changes:
1287
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1288
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1289
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1290
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1291
 
1292
    * Jats label utility
1293
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1294
 
1295
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1296
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1297
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1298
 
1299
    * Jats core
1300
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1301
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1302
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1311
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1312
      This is now fixed.
1313
 
309 dpurdie 1314
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1315
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1316
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1317
 
1318
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1319
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1327
    * Generating makefiles
1328
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1329
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1330
      an error.
1331
 
1332
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1333
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1334
 
1335
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1336
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1342
Major changes:
1343
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1344
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1345
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1346
 
1347
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1348
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1349
 
1350
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1351
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1352
      Support includes
1353
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1354
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1355
 
1356
Minor changes:
1357
    * Build file processing
1358
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1359
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1360
 
1361
    * MOS builds
1362
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1363
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1364
 
1365
    * MOS builds
1366
      New 'known' product: PICP
1367
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1368
 
1369
    * GenerateFiles directive
1370
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1371
        under windows.
1372
 
1373
        .
1374
 
1375
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1376
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1377
 
1378
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1379
      to the output stream.
1380
 
1381
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1382
 
1383
    * Windows Shell
1384
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1385
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1386
 
1387
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1388
 
1389
    * H8S toolset
1390
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1391
 
1392
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1393
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1394
 
1395
Internal changes
1396
    * WinCe builds
1397
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1398
      content of the file.
1399
 
1400
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1401
 
1402
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1403
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1415
Major changes:
1416
 
1417
Minor changes:
1418
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1419
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1420
      Changes are transparent to users.
1421
 
1422
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1423
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1424
      this occurs.
1425
 
1426
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1427
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1428
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1429
      automated build framework.
1430
 
1431
    * jats sandbox command
1432
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1433
      'create' command.
1434
 
1435
    * jats command aliases. Added
1436
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1437
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1442
Major changes:
1443
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1444
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1445
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1446
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1447
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1448
      will work as expected
1449
 
1450
Minor changes:
1451
    * VS2008 Toolset
1452
      Picking up incorrect config details
1453
      May result in a warning message.
1454
 
1455
    * gen_cots utility
1456
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1457
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1458
 
1459
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1460
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
1461
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1508
Major changes:
1509
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1510
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1511
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1512
 
1513
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1514
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1515
 
1516
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1517
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1518
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1519
           names cannot be changed.
1520
 
1521
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1522
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1523
 
1524
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1525
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1526
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1527
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1528
 
1529
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1530
      file.
1531
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1532
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1533
      MyPackage.dpk.
1534
 
1535
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1536
      file.
1537
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1538
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1539
      MyDll.dpr.
1540
 
1541
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1542
      file.
1543
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1544
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1545
      MyProg.dpr.
1546
 
1547
Minor changes:
1548
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1549
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1550
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1551
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1552
 
1553
    * BuildVersion directive
1554
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1555
      in a Delphi Unit.
1556
 
1557
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1558
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1559
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1560
      'know' the location of the files.
1561
 
1562
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
1563
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
1564
 
1565
Internal Changes:
1566
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
1567
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
1568
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
1569
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
1570
 
1571
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
1572
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
1573
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
1574

287 dpurdie 1576
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
1577
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1578
Major changes:
1579
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
1580
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
1581
      information for purely C++ builds.
1582
 
289 dpurdie 1583
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
1584
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 1585
 
289 dpurdie 1586
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
1587
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
1588
            Manager
287 dpurdie 1589
 
1590
Minor changes:
1591
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
1592
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
1593
 
1594

1639
 
1640
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
1641

1642
      build files against the Release Manager information.
1643

1650
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 1651
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 1652
 
279 dpurdie 1653
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
1654
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
1655
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 1656
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 1657
 
1658
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
1659
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
1660
 
1661
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
1662
 
1663
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
1664
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
1665
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
1666
 
1667
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
1668
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
1669
        processed.
1670
 
1671
      Removed the '-delete' option
1672
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
1673
 
277 dpurdie 1674
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 1675
    * Sandbox command
1676
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
1677
 
1678
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
1679
      target from consideration in the build set.
1680
 
1681
    * MCR Toolset
1682
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
1683
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
1684
 
1685
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
1686
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
1687
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
1688
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
1689
 
1690
    * Jats run_test command
1691
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
1692
      tests we run on a Window machine.
1693
 
1694
    * descpkg file
1695
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
1696
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
1697
 
1698
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
1699
     Now contains build trace information
1700
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
1701
 
1702
   * jats abt command simplified usage
1703
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
1704
     it contains 'jar' files.
1705
 
1706
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
1707
 
1708
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
1709
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
1710
 
1711
   * BuildVersion directive
1712
     Form:
1713
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
1714
     now works as expected.
1715
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
1716
 
1717
Internal Changes:
1718
 
1719
    * Error reporting mechanism
1720
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
1721
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
1722
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

1733
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
1734
    then starts.
1735
 
1736
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
1737
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
1738
 
1739
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
1740
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
1741
    non-platform option.
1742
 
279 dpurdie 1743
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

1882
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
1883
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool

1907
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
1908
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
1909
 
1910
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
1911
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward

      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
1922
      GenerateCab.
1923
 
1924

2076
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2077
      Previously was being done at two places
2078
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2079
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but

2082
    * JATS make: Command line
2083
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2084

2139
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
2140
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
2141
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2142
 
2143
Minor changes:
2144
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2145
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

2153
Major changes:
2154
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
2155
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2156
 
2157
      New platforms:
2158
        CSHARP2005
2159
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2160
         Support extends to allow:
2161
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2162
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2163
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2164
 
2165
        VS2005
2166
         Support extends to allow:
2167
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2168
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2169
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2170
 
2171
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2172
      through a version selector:
2173
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2174
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2175
 
2176
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2177
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2178
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2179
 
2180
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2181
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2182
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2183
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2184
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2185
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2186
          under VS2005.
2187
 
2188
Minor changes:
2189
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

2193
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2194
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2195
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2196
 
2197
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2198
 
2199
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2200
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2201
 
2202
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2203
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2204
      a minimal value of perl.
2205
 
2206
      Removed excessive require statements.
2207
 
2208
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2209
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2210
      Include JATS specific files for
2211
        1) Windows
2212
        2) Linux
2213
 
2214
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2215
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2216
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2217
      machines.
2218
 
2219
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2220
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2221
 
2222
    * JATS Environment
2223
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2224
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2225
 
2226
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2227
      wrapper scripts.
2228
 
2229
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2230
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2231
      Spell check help and code.

2283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2284
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2285
  * New toolset and platform
2286
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2287
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2288
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2289
    this platform.
2290
 
2291
Minor changes:
2292
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2293
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2294
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2295
    work.
2296
 
2297
  * Jats utility: release
2298
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2299
    published to dpkg_archive.
2300
 
249 dpurdie 2301
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2302
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2303
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2304
    supported for ANT builds.
2305
 
2306
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2307
        releasemanager.releasename
2308
        releasemanager.projectname
2309
 
2310
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2311
    tagged data item of the form
2312
 
2313
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2314
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2315
 
2316
  * Mug File Generation
2317
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2318
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2319
 
2320
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2321
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2322
    required.
2323
 
2324
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2325
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2326
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2327
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2328
    the files in order to use them.
2329
 
2330
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2331
    locate the file.
2332
 
2333
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2334
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2335
 
2336
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2337
        * CSharp
2338
        * Properties
2339
        * WinRC
2340
 
2341
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2342
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2343
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2344
    Value is correctly assigned.
2345

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2349
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2350
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2351
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2352
 
2353
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2354
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2355
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2356
 
2357
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2358
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2359
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2360
 
2361
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2362
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2363
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2364
 
2365
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2366
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2367
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2368
    correct.
2369
 
2370
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2371
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2372
 
2373
Minor changes:
2374
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2375
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the

2549
    * MOS Compiler
2550
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2551
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
2552
 
2553
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2554
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
2555
      descpkg files to be copied.
2556
 
2557
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
2558
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 2593
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
2594
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
2595
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
2596
 
2597
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2598
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
2599
 
2600
    * Jats wrapper
2601
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
2602
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2607
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 2608
    * Jats Release Mechanism
2609
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
2610
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
2611
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
2612
 
2613
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
2614
 
2615
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
2616
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
2617
 
2618
    * Running Jats
2619
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
2620
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
2621
      This may affect some windows developers.
2622
 
2623
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
2624
      Future versions will generate an error.
2625
 
2626
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
2627
 
2628
Minor changes:
2629
    * Perl Version Check
2630
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
2631
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
2632
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
2633
 
2634
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
2635
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
2636
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
2637
      build.
2638
 
2639
    * Jats Internals
2640
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
2641
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
2642
 
2643
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
2644
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
2645
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
2646
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
2647
      process.
2648
 
2649
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
2650
      Only works under Windows.
2651
 
2652
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
2653
 
2654
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
2655
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
2656
 
2657
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2658
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
2659
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
2660
 
2661
    * Jats eprog
2662
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
2663
      directory.
2664
 
2665
    * jats tool jats_metrics
2666
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
2667
      build metrics.
2668
 
2669

Major changes:
2673
 
2674
Minor changes:
2675
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
2676
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
2677
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
2678
      automated build system. New options are:
2679
        -pname=Package_Name
2680
        -pversion=Package_Version
2681
 
2682
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
2683
      transferring the package. New options are:
2684
        -test
2685
 
2686
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2687
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
2688
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
2689
 
2690
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
2691
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
2692
 
2693
    * Solaris Toolset
2694
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
2695
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
2696
      programs are still supported.

2701
Major changes:
2702
 
2703
Minor changes:
2704
    * WINCE toolsets
2705
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
2706
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
2707
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
2708
      when header files cannot be found.
2709
 
2710
    * GenerateFiles directive
2711
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
2712
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
2713
      that are difficult to solve.
2714
 
2715
    * MakePerlModule directive
2716
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
2717
      to the the module builder.
2718
 
2719
    * Jats Tool: label
2720
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
2721
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
2722
      -dirs=xxx options.
2723
 
2724
    * Jats Tool: release
2725
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
2726
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
2727
 
2728
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
2729
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
2730
 
2731
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2732
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
2733
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
2734
 
2735
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

2749
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
2750
 
2751
    * make package and install operations
2752
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
2753
      transfer.
2754
 
2755
    * make clean up
2756
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
2757
 
2758
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
2759
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
2760
      minor file transformations such as:
2761
        Copy, with optional rename
2762
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
2763
        Perform simple TAG replacement
2764
 
2765
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
2766
 
2767
    * jats release utility
2768
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
2769
      in place.
2770
 
2771
    * escrow utility
2772
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in

    * Makefile generation
2782
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
2783
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
2784
      generate phase early.

2790
 
2791
Minor changes:
2792
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
2793
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
2794
 
2795
    * Makefile generation
2796
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
2797
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
2798
 
2799
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
2800
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
2801
 
2802
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
2803
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
2804
      branch. The locks will be removed.
2805
 
2806
    * jats_rewrite utility
2807
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
2808
 
2809
    * jats escrow utility
2810
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
2811
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
2812
 
2813
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
2814
      inconsistent packages.
2815
 
2816
    * jats make help
2817
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
2818
      available within the current build.
2819
 
2820
    * jats makefiles
2821
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
2822
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
2823
 
2824
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
2825
      pl, then it will be ignored.
2826
 
2827
    * gcc toolset
2828
      SharedLibries.
2829
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
2830
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
2831
 
2832
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
2833
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
2834
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
2835
 
2836
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
2837
        New options:
2838
            --MultiScan
2839
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
2840
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
2841
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

2849
Minor changes:
2850
    PackageLib directive
2851
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
2852
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
2853
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
2854
 
2855
    MakefileGenerate directive
2856
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
2857
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
2858
 
2859
    Multiple Parent detection
2860
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
2861
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
2862
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
2863
    condition will be treated as a warning.
2864
 
2865
    Solaris Toolset
2866
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
2867
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
2868
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
2869
    link.
2870
 
2871
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
2872
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
2873
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
2874
 
2875
    Make and generation of subdirectories
2876
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
2877
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
2878
    file.

2883
Major changes:
2884
    Makefile generation and make recursion
2885
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
2886
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
2887
 
2888
    Summary of changes:
2889
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
2890
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
2891
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
2892
          flexibility.
2893
 
2894
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
2895
 
2896
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
2897
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
2898
          interface directory and associated build information.
2899
 
2900
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
2901
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
2902
          than one second.
2903
 
2904
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
2905
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
2906
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
2907
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
2908
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
2909
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
2910
 
2911
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
2912
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
2913
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
2914
 
2915
        - Better makefile rebuilding
2916
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
2917
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
2918
          building them.
2919
 
2920
        - Detection of build file changes
2921
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
2922
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
2923
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
2924
 
2925
        - Quieter make output
2926
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
2927
 
2928
 
2929
Minor changes:
2930
    MakeAnt Directive
2931
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
2932
 
2933
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
2934
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
2935
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
2936
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
2937
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
2938
 
2939
    CSHARP toolset
2940
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
2941

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
2949
    are generated.
2950
 
2951
    MakeAnt
2952
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
2953
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
2954
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
2955
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
2956
 
2957
    MCR platform

2969
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
2970
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
2971
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
2972
 
2973
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
2974
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
2975
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
2976
        package image being created.

    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
2998
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
2999
 
3000
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3001
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3002
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3036
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3037
 
3038
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3039
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3040
      last.
3041
 
3042
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3043
 
3044
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3045
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3046
 
3047
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3048
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3049
 
3050
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3051
 
3052
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3053
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3054
 
3055
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3056
 
3057
 
3058
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3059

3072
      dependent packages.
3073
 
3074
    * RunTest operation
3075
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3083
Major changes:
3084
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3085
 
3086
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3087
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3088
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3089
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3090
      path.
3091
 
3092
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3093
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3094
      reproducible.
3095
 
3096
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3097
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3098
 
3099
      There are several aspects to the change
3100
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3101
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3102
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3103
 
3104
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3105
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3106
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3107
          controlled separately.
3108
 
3109
Minor changes:
3110
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3111
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3112
        Remove duplicates
3113
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH

3120
Minor changes:
3121
    * Makefile sanity test
3122
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3123
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3124
 
3125
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3126
      x86 machine.
3127
 
3128
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3129
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3130

3133
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3134
Major changes:
3135
    * RunTest directive
3136
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3137
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3138
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3139
 
3140
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3141
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3142
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3143
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3144
 
3145
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3146
        builder within the current toolset.
3147
 
3148
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3149
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3150
 
3151
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3152
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3153
      containing the RunTest directive.
3154
 
3155
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3156
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3157
 
3158
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3159
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3160
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3161
 
3162
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3163
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3164
                            P or D suffix.
3165
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3166
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3167
 
3168
Minor changes:
3169
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3170
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3171
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3172
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3173
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3174
 
3175
    * Save Build Utility
3176
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3177
      used in a ripple build.
3178
 
3179
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3180
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3181
 
3182
    * Release Utility
3183
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3184
      when an error is encountered.
3185
 
3186
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3187
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3188
 
3189
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3190
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3191
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3192
 
3193
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3194
      before the makefiles are created.
3195
 
3196
    * TestProg directive
3197
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3198
 
3199
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3200
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3201

3203
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
3204
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3205
Major changes:
3206
    * New build target
3207
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3208
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3209
 
3210
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3211
            DEVLINUX
3212
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3213
 
3214
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3215
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3216
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3217
 
3218
Minor changes:
3219
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3220
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3221
 
3222
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3223
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3224
 
3225
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3226
      and .cs files.
3227
 
3228
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3229
      thing.
3230
 
3231
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3232
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3233
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3234
      were it places temp files.
3235
 
3236
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3237
      interaction with other builds.
3238
 
3239
    * Release utility command
3240
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3241
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3242
      component in the clearcase tag name.

Version: JATS_2.66.0                                Released: 27-Jun-07
3246
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3247
Major changes:
3248
  * Support for building CSHARP code
3249
    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
3250
 
3251
    Supports the handling of .resx files
3252
 
3253
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
3254
    libraries
3255
 
3256
Minor changes:
3257
  * Unit Tests
3258
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3259
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3260
 
3261
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3262
    as a Script.

3290
Major changes:
3291
 
3292
Minor changes:
3293
  * WINCE Support
3294
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3295
 
3296
  * Removed the following targets
3297
        TP5600
3298
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3299
        TP5600_EMU
3300
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3301
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3302
 
3303
  * Deployment
3304
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3305
 
3306
  * build.pl
3307
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3308
 
3309
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3310
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3311
 
3312
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3313
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3314
    build.
3315
 
3316
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3317
 
3318
  * Tool: escrow
3319
     New features
3320
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3321
     are not in the SBOM.
3322
 
3323
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3324
 
3325
     Specify packages to be ignored.
3326

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3329
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3330
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3331
Major changes:
3332
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3333
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3334
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3335
 
3336
  * GenerateFiles
3337
    Added the options:
3338
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3339
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3340
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3341
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3342
 
3343
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3344
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3345
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3346
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3347
                                  required.
3348
 
3349
 
3350
Minor changes:
3351
  * GenerateFile directive
3352
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3353
 
3354
  * GCC Toolset
3355
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3356
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3357
    be rebuilt.
3358
 
3359
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3360
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3361
 
3362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3363
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3364
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3365
Major changes:
3366
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3367
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3368
    environment variables.
3369
 
3370
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3371
            moved.
3372
 
3373
    This will affect users that:
3374
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3375
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3376
 
3377
        2) Use the ABT system
3378
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3379
           the required configuration
3380
 
3381
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3382
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3383
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3384
    Windows
3385
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3386
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3387
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3388
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3389
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3390
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3391
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3392
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3393
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3394
 
3395
 
3396
  * New build platforms
3397
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3398
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3399
 
3400
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3401
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3402
 
3403
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3404
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3405
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3406
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3407
 
3408
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3409
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3410
    release.
3411
 
3412
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3413
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3414
 
3415
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3416
    need to be converted.
3417
 
3418
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3419
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3420
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3421
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3422
    used for different targets platforms.
3423
 
3424
  * Sandbox support
3425
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3426
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3427
 
3428
    New command: jats sandbox ...
3429
 
3430
Minor changes:
3431
 
3432
 
3433
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3434
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
3435
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3436
Major changes:
3437
  * MakeAnt directive
3438
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3439
 
3440
    New options
3441
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3442
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3443
 
3444
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3445
    run_unit_tests phase.
3446
 
3447
  * Sandbox support
3448
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3449
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3450
 
3451
Minor changes:
3452
  * jats build
3453
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3454
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3455
 
3456
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3457
 
3458
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3459
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3460
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3461
 
3462
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3463
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3464
 
3465
  * JATS.BAT
3466
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3467
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3468
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3469
 
3470
  * jats label
3471
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3472
 
3473
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3474
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3475
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3476
Major changes:
3477
  * New build platform:
3478
        LMOS_TP5600
3479
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3480
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3481
 
3482
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3483
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3484
    describe the group of platforms.
3485
 
3486
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3487
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3488
    build these targets.
3489
 
3490
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3491
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3492
 
3493
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3494
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3495
 
3496
  * New build platform: WINCE
3497
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3498
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3499
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3500
 
3501
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3502
            WCEIT3000
3503
            WCEPA961
3504
            WCEPA962
3505
            WCEPCM7220
3506
            WCEPSION_420
3507
            WCEPSPC_arm
3508
            WCEPSPC_emu
3509
            WCEX86A420
3510
            WCEX86A500
3511
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
3512
 
3513
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3514
 
3515
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3516
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3517
    that contain packaging directives.
3518
 
3519
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3520
    very unusual configurations.
3521
 
3522
Minor changes:
3523
  * Directive: PackageFile
3524
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3525
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3526
    an '='.
3527
 
3528
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3529
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3530
 
3531
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3532
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3533
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3534
 
3535
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3536
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3537
 
3538

Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3540
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3541
Major changes:
3542
 
3543
  * JATS release command
3544
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3545
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3546
 
3547
    Rules are:
3548
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3549
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3550
                            File will be placed on a branch
3551
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3552
                            New directory will branch
3553
 
3554
Minor changes:
3555
  * JATS release command
3556
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3557
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3558
 
3559
  * JATS label command
3560
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
3561
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
3562
 
3563
  * JATS make
3564
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
3565
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
3566
    was re-packaged.
3567
 
3568
  * JATS escrow
3569
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
3570
    Use jats escrow -help for details
3571
 
3572
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
3573
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
3574
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
3575
 
3576
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
3577
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
3578
    interface directory.
3579
 
3580
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
3581
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
3582
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
3583
    directory as seen by the package.
3584
 
3585
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
3586
 
3587
  * JAVA 6
3588
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
3589
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
3590
 
3591
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
3592
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
3593
 
3594
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
3595
 
3596
  * Jats command: vars
3597
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
3598
    These indicate potential problems.
3599
 
3600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3601
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
3602
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3603
Major changes:
3604
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
3605
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
3606
    libarry is also created.
3607
 
3608
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
3609
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
3610
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
3611
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
3612
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
3613
    information contained within the file.
3614
 
3615
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
3616
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
3617
 
3618
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
3619
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
3620
 
3621
  * Building Perl Modules
3622
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
3623
    documentation on the build machine.
3624
 
3625
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
3626
 
3627
Minor changes:
3628
  * jats create_dpkg
3629
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
3630
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
3631
 
3632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3633
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
3634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3635
Major changes:
3636
  * JATS JAVA build target
3637
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
3638
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
3639
 
3640
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
3641
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
3642
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
3643
    is then picked up as the default version.
3644
 
3645
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
3646
    build.pl file.
3647
 
3648
Minor changes:
3649
  * jats release
3650
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
3651
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
3652
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
3653
 
3654
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
3655
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
3656
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
3657
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
3658
    the name of the view.
3659
 
3660
  * GenerateFiles directive
3661
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
3662
 
3663
  * MOS Toolset
3664
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
3665
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
3666
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
3667
 
3668
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
3669
 
3670
 
3671
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3672
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
3673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3674
Major changes:
3675
 
3676
Minor changes:
3677
  * JATS environment
3678
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
3679
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
3680
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
3681
 
3682
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
3683
 
3684
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
3685
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
3686
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
3687
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
3688
    to be packaged.
3689
 
3690
  * Generated makefiles
3691
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
3692
 
3693
  * Generating MOS THX files
3694
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
3695
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
3696
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
3697
 
3698
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
3699
 
3700
  * JATS release
3701
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
3702
 
3703
  * JATS extract
3704
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
3705
 
3706
  * JATS Toolset
3707
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
3708
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
3709
 
3710
 
3711
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3712
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
3713
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3714
Major changes:
3715
 
3716
Minor changes:
3717
  * jats label
3718
    Added a -vob=name option
3719
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
3720
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
3721
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
3722
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
3723
 
3724
    Added a -user=name option
3725
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
3726
    label to the named user.
3727
 
3728
  * jats release
3729
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
3730
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
3731
 
3732
  * JATS build.pl
3733
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
3734
    ie:
3735
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
3736

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3739
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
3740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3741
Major changes:
3742
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
3743
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
3744
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
3745
    the makefile internals. ie:
3746
        --Var(BuildName)
3747
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
3748
        -BuildName=MyPackage
3749
 
3750
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
3751
 
3752
  * GenerateFiles
3753
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
3754
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
3755
 
3756
  * BuildPlatforms
3757
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
3758
 
3759
Minor changes:
3760
  * GCC Toolset
3761
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
3762
 
3763
Internal changes:
3764
  * GenerateFiles
3765
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
3766
 
3767
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
3768
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
3769
 
3770
 
3771
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3772
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
3773
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3774
Major changes:
3775
  * Caching JATS
3776
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
3777
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
3778
 
3779
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
3780
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
3781
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
3782
 
3783
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
3784
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
3785
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
3786
 
3787
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
3788
 
3789
Minor changes:
3790
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
3791
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
3792
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
3793
 
3794
  * jats build
3795
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
3796
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
3797
    processed by the build.
3798
 
3799
  * jats build
3800
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
3801
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
3802
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
3803
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
3804
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
3805
 
3806
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
3807
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
3808
    Path is not specified.
3809
 
3810
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
3811
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
3812
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
3813
        --Dir=$Pinc
3814
    but $Pinc is not defined.
3815
 
3816
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
3817
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
3818
    Windows platform.
3819
 
3820
        - OPTIONS=purecov
3821
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
3822
            by 'purecov.
3823
 
3824
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3825
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
3826
 
3827
        - OPTIONS=purify
3828
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3829
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
3830
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
3831

3834
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
3835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3836
Major changes:
3837
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
3838
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
3839
    Example:
3840
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
3841
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
3842
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
3843
 
3844
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
3845
    been determined.
3846
 
3847
Minor changes:
3848
  * Added the ScanList directive.
3849
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
3850
    located at build-time.
3851
 
3852
  * Unix based systems
3853
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
3854
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
3855
 
3856
  * MakeLinuxDriver
3857
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
3858
    driver being built.
3859
 
3860
 
3861

3869
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
3870
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
3871
 
3872
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
3873
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
3874
 
3875
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
3876
    dependancy information within a package.
3877
 
3878
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
3879
    messages.
3880
 
3881

3887
 
3888
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
3889
 
3890
    GenerateFiles.
3891
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
3892
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
3893
                      be run on every invocation.
3894
 
3895
 
3896
Minor changes:

3898
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
3899
 
3900
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
3901
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
3902
  There are two mechanism:
3903
 
3904
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
3905
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
3906
 
3907
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
3908
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
3909
 
3910
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
3911
  default.
3912
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
3913
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
3914

  * SunWorks Toolset
3920
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
3921
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
3922
    It is based on machine type.
3923
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
3924
 
3925
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
3926
 
3927
Minor changes:
3928

  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
3957
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
3958
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
3959
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
3960
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
3961
 
3962
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
3963
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
3964
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
3965
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
3966
 
3967
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
3968
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

3980
 
3981
 
3982
Minor changes:
3983
  * JATS wrapper script
3984
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
3985
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
3986
    to setup links to system programs.
3987

Major changes:
4007
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4008
    Added CompileOptions
4009
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4010
        no_misalign         - Default
4011
 
4012
        multithread         - Default
4013
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking

  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4016
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
4017
 
4018

4028
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4029
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4030
    Theses are:
4031
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4032
        SOLARIS_AMD
4033
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4034
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4035
 
4036
Minor changes:
4037
  * AT3232 toolset
4038
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

4047
Major changes:
4048
 
4049
Minor changes:
4050
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4051
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4052
    messages
4053
 
4054
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4055
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4056
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4057
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4058
 
4059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4060
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
4061
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4062
Major changes:
4063
 
4064
Minor changes:
4065
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4066
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4067
    library without creating the body of the library:
4068
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4069
 
4070
 
4071
  * MOS toolsets
4072
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4073
    library without creating the body of the library:
4074
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4075
 
4076
  * JATS BIN directories
4077
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4078
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4079
    using autoconf.
4080
 
4081
  * Generate directive
4082
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4083
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4084
 
4085
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4086
 
4087

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4089
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4090
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4091
Major changes:
4092
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4093
    Initial release.
4094
 
4095
Minor changes:
4096
 
4097
 
4098
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4099
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4101
Major changes:
4102
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4103
    Initial release.
4104
 
4105
  * Packaging directives
4106
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4107
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4108
 
4109
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4110
        SOLARIS
4111
        WIN32
4112
 
4113
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4114
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4115
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4116
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4117
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4118
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4119
 
4120
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4121
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4122
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4123
 
4124
 
4125
Minor changes:
4126
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4127
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4128
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4129
 
4130
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4131
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4132
    location
4133
 
4134
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4135
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4136
 
4137
  * Utility genrc
4138
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4139
 
4140
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4141
    Added option: -new
4142
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4143
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4144
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4145
 
4146
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4147
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4148
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4149
 
4150
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4151
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4152
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4153
 
4154
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4155
   features - in a uniform manner.
4156
 
4157
 
4158
Internal Changes:
4159
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4160
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4161
 
4162
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4163
        1) Platform information available at build time
4164
        2) Dynamic platform names
4165
 
4166
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4167
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4168
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4169
 
4170
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4171
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4172
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4173
 
4174
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4175
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4176
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4177
    needed.
4178
 
4179
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4180
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4181
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4182
    files from all of these.
4183

4185
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
4186
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4187
Major changes:
4188
 
4189
Minor changes:
4190
  * WinCE toolset
4191
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4192
 
4193
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4194
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4195
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4196
Major changes:
4197
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4198
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4199
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4200
 
4201
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4202
 
4203
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4204
    the operations.
4205
 
4206
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4207
 
4208
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4209
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4210
 
4211
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4212
 
4213
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4214
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4215
 
4216
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4217
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4218
    Extended the built-in help
4219
    Added useful error messages
4220
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4221
 
4222
  * WinCE toolset
4223
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4224
 
4225
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4226
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4227
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4228
 
4229
Minor changes:
4230
  * JATS wrapper script
4231
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4232
    the command line.
4233
 
4234
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4235
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4236
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4237
 
4238
Internal Changes:
4239
  * Common Error Reporting
4240
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4241
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4242
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4243
    level.
4244
 
4245
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4246
    displayed.
4247
 
4248
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4249
 
4250
  * Added JatsSystem module
4251
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4252
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4253
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

4255
Major changes:
4256
 
4257
Minor changes:
4258
  * BR Compiler toolset
4259
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4260
    .def files to include other files.
4261
 
4262
  * IAR toolset
4263
    Added AT7272 support
4264
 
4265
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4266
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4267
 
4268
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4269
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4270
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4271
Major changes:
4272
 
4273
Minor changes:
4274
  * BR Compiler toolset
4275
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4276
    use.
4277
 
4278
 
4279
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4280
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4281
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4282
Major changes:
4283
 
4284
Minor changes:
4285
  * Mictotec toolset
4286
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4287
    builds.
4288
 
4289
  * JATS Core
4290
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4291
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4292
    behaviour.
4293
 
4294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4295
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4296
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4297
Major changes:
4298
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4299
    Deployment package will be affected.
4300
 
4301
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4302
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4303
 
4304
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4305
 
4306
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4307
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4308
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4309
    packages.
4310
 
4311
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4312
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4313
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4314
 
4315
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4316
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4317
 
4318
Minor changes:
4319
  * SubDir directive
4320
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4321
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4322
 
4323
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4324
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4325
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4326
    of the file usage.
4327
 
4328
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4329
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4330
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4331
 
4332
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4333
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4334
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4335
 
4336
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4337
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4338
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4339
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4340
 
4341
 
4342
Internal Changes:
4343
  * Code refactor
4344
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4345
 
4346
  * Deployment utilities
4347
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4348
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4349
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4350
    the module can locate the file.
4351
 
4352
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4353
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4354
 
4355
  * JATS core
4356
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4357
 
4358
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4359
 
4360
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4361
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4362
    through the use of environment variables.
4363
 
4364
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4365
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4366
 
4367
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4368
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4369
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4370
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4371
 
4372
  * Make environment
4373
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4374
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4375
 
4376

Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4379
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4380
Major changes:
4381
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4382
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4383
 
4384
 
4385
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4386
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4387
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4388
 
4389
Not Released.
4390
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4391
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4392
 
4393
 
4394
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4395
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4397
Major changes:
4398
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4399
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4400
    radically replaced.
4401
 
4402
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4403
    Usage:
4404
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4405
 
4406
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4407
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4408
    this solution:
4409
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4410
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4411
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4412
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4413
 
4414
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4415
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4416
    order to work.
4417
 
4418
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4419
    reduced functionality.
4420
 
4421
 
4422
Minor changes:
4423
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4424
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4425
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4426
 
4427
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4428
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4429
    within the makefiles.
4430
        Options:
4431
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4432
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4433
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4434
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4435
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4436
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4437
        Useage:
4438
 
4439
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4440
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4441
 
4442
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4443
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4444
    is not in the current directory.
4445
 
4446
  * Jats Command: ant'
4447
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4448
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4449
 
4450
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4451
 
4452
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4453
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4454
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4455
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4456
 
4457
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4458
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4459
    Thus
4460
 
4461
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4462
 
4463
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4464
 
4465
 
4466
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4467
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4468
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4469
Major changes:
4470
 
4471
Minor changes:
4472
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4473
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4474
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4475
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4476
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4477
 
4478
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4479
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4480
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4481
 
4482
Internal changes:
4483
  * JATS toolsets
4484
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4485
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4486
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4487
 
4488
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4489
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4490
 
4491
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4492
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4494
Major changes:
4495
  * Jats command: etool
4496
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4497
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4498
 
4499
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4500
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4501
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4502
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4503
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4504
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4505
 
4506
Minor changes:
4507
 
4508
 
4509
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4510
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4512
Major changes:
4513
  * JATS environment variables
4514
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4515
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4516
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4517
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4518
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4519
 
4520
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4521
              Remote repository
4522
 
4523
    Added GBE_DPLY
4524
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4525
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4526
 
4527
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4528
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4529
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4530
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4531
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4532
 
4533
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4534
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4535
 
4536
 
4537
Minor changes:
4538
  * JATS utility: build
4539
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4540
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4541
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4542
 
4543
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4544
    Ensure label is not locked
4545
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4546
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4547
 
4548
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4549
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4550
    to a specific type of build.
4551
 
4552
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
4553
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
4554
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
4555
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
4556
 
4557
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
4558
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
4559
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
4560
 
4561
  * JATS utility: release
4562
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
4563
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
4564
 
4565
  * JATS utility: label
4566
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
4567
    when it is being created.
4568
 
4569
Internal Changes
4570
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
4571
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
4572
 
4573
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
4574
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
4575
 
4576
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
4577
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
4578
    different results.
4579
 
4580
  * ToolsetRequire directive
4581
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
4582
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
4583
 
4584
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4585
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
4586
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4587
Major changes:
4588
 
4589
  * MCR toolset
4590
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
4591
 
4592
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4593
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
4594
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4595
Major changes:
4596
  * WIN32 utilities
4597
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
4598
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
4599
 
4600
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
4601
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
4602
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
4603
 
4604
Minor changes:
4605
  * BuildVersion
4606
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
4607
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
4608
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
4609
 
4610
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
4611
 
4612
  * Unix Builds
4613
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
4614
    library or a shared library.
4615
 
4616
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
4617
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
4618
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
4619
    start with 'lib'.
4620
 
4621
  * BuildPkgArchive
4622
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
4623
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
4624
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
4625
 
4626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4627
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
4628
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4629
Major changes:
4630
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4631
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
4632
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
4633
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
4634
    being manually maintained.
4635
 
4636
 
4637
Minor changes:
4638
  * MakeAnt directive
4639
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
4640
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
4641
    supports ANT builds.
4642
 
4643
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4644
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
4645
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
4646
 
4647
  * Label utility
4648
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
4649
    files to be labeled.
4650
 
4651
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
4652
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
4653
    on Solaris.
4654
 
4655
  * Generated makefiles
4656
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
4657
    nothing.
4658
 
4659
  * MOS Toolset
4660
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
4661
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
4662
    modules.
4663
 
4664
  * Utility: gen_cots
4665
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
4666
    and then check it in under clearcase.
4667
 
4668
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
4669
 
4670
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
4671
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
4672
 
4673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4674
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
4675
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4676
Major changes:
4677
  None
4678
 
4679
Minor changes:
4680
  * DEVI addressed
4681
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
4682
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
4683
 
4684
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
4685
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
4686
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
4687
 
4688
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
4689
 
4690
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
4691
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
4692
 
4693
  * RunTest directive
4694
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
4695
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
4696
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
4697
 
4698
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
4699
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
4700
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
4701
    packaged under JATS
4702
 
4703
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
4704
          supported within JATS.
4705
 
4706
  * Jats utility wrapper
4707
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
4708
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
4709
 
4710
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
4711
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
4712
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
4713
 
4714
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
4715
    Eg: jats ant
4716
 
4717
  * Jats utility wrapper
4718
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
4719
 
4720
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
4721
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
4722
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
4723
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
4724
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
4725
 
4726
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
4727
    expect a build.pl file.
4728
 
4729
  * Jats utility wrapper
4730
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
4731
 
4732
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
4733
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
4734
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
4735
 
4736
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
4737
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
4738
 
4739
  * Build files
4740
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
4741
    ERG extensions.
4742
 
4743
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4744
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
4745
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4746
Major changes:
4747
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
4748
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
4749
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
4750
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
4751
 
4752
    This may cause module validation to fail.
4753
 
4754
Minor changes:
4755
  * None
4756
 
4757
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4758
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
4759
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4760
Major changes:
4761
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
4762
    Added option --Uses=NAME
4763
    ie:
4764
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
4765
 
4766
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
4767
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
4768
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
4769
    environments are compatible.
4770
 
4771
 
4772
Minor changes:
4773
  * BuildName option
4774
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
4775
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
4776
 
4777
  * jats.bat
4778
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
4779
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
4780
 
4781

4785
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4786
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
4787
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
4788
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
4789
 
4790
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
4791
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
4792
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
4793
 
4794
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
4795
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
4796
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
4797
 
4798
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
4799
    transferred.
4800
 
4801
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
4802
    See notes below.
4803
 
4804
  * WIN32 toolset
4805
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
4806
    correctly.
4807
 
4808
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
4809
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
4810
 
4811
  * BuildVersion
4812
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
4813
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
4814
    other langauges as needed.
4815
 
4816
 
4817
Minor changes:
4818
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
4819
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
4820
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
4821
    version strings.
4822
 
4823
  * GenerateFiles directive
4824
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
4825
    package or an imported package.
4826
 
4827
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
4828
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
4829
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
4830
 
4831
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
4832
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
4833
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
4834
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
4835
    makefiles and strange error messages.
4836
 
4837
Internal Changes
4838
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
4839
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
4840
    of utilities.
4841
 
4842
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
4843
    functions.
4844
 
4845
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4846
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
4847
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4848
Major changes:
4849
  * Generated makefiles
4850
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
4851
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
4852
    that sed did not process its arguments.
4853
 
4854
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
4855
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
4856
    incorrectly processing:
4857
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
4858
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
4859
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
4860
    confused.
4861
 
4862
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
4863
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
4864
    The construct
4865
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
4866
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
4867
    then it works.
4868
 
4869
  * MakeAnt directive
4870
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
4871
 
4872
    This option has the following effects
4873
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
4874
           can be used installed and manipulated.
4875
 
4876
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
4877
           early - in the generated files phase.
4878
 
4879
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
4880
    component needs to generate a header file early.
4881
 
4882
 
4883
Minor changes:
4884
  * JATS post-installation script
4885
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
4886
 
4887
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
4888
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
4889
    windows.
4890
 
4891
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
4892
    Handle all variants of BuildName
4893
 
4894
  * Jats wrapper script
4895
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
4896
        1) Contain spaces
4897
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
4898
 
4899
  * Toolset
4900
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
4901
 
4902
  * JAVA toolset
4903
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
4904
    directive:
4905
 
4906
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
4907
 
4908
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
4909
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
4910
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
4911
 
4912
  * GCC Toolset
4913
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
4914
 
4915
  * Makefile generation
4916
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
4917
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
4918
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
4919
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
4920
    package could not be used.
4921
 
4922
  * Unit Tests
4923
    The following environment variables are set:
4924
 
4925
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
4926
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
4927
 
4928
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
4929
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
4930
 
4931
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
4932
 
4933
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4934
 
4935
 
4936
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4937
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
4938
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4939
Major changes:
4940
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
4941
 
4942
    Special features of this toolset.
4943
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
4944
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
4945
       incorporated within the target image.
4946
 
4947
    2) Prog directive extensions:
4948
       --Set=Name=Value
4949
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
4950
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
4951
 
4952
       --Ref=name
4953
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
4954
                to provide information that will be placed within the
4955
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
4956
                will be taken from the build version number.
4957
 
4958
Minor changes:
4959
  * MOS Toolset
4960
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
4961
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
4962
    packaged.
4963
 
4964
  * Src directive
4965
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
4966
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
4967
    specifier.
4968
 
4969
  * WIN32 runtime support
4970
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
4971
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
4972
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
4973
 
4974
Internal:
4975
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
4976
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
4977
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
4978
 
4979
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4980
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
4981
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4982
Major changes:
4983
    * BuildAlias directive
4984
      Added options.
4985
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
4986
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
4987
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
4988
                          targets.
4989
      Eg:
4990
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
4991
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
4992
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
4993
 
4994
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
4995
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
4996
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
4997
 
4998
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
4999
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5000
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5001
 
5002
 
5003
Minor changes:
5004
  * Label utility
5005
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5006
    build.pl file
5007
 
5008
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5009
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5010
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5011
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5012
    --FilterIn option.
5013
 
5014
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5015
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5016
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5017
 
5018
  * Location of descpkg file
5019
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5020
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5021
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5022
 
5023
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5024
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5025
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5026
Major changes:
5027
  * RunTest directive
5028
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5029
    Additional options
5030
      --CopyIn=file
5031
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5032
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5033
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5034
        the test area.
5035
 
5036
    Additional operations
5037
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5038
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5039
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5040
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5041
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5042
    Allows flags:
5043
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5044
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5045
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5046
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5047
 
5048
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5049
    existence is tested.
5050
 
5051
  * Packaging Directives
5052
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5053
    such as LMOS.
5054
 
5055
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5056
 
5057
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5058
 
5059
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5060
 
5061
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5062
 
5063
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5064
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5065
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5066
 
5067
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5068
 
5069
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5070
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5071
 
5072
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5073
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5074
 
5075
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5076
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5077
 
5078
Minor changes:
5079
  * Script directive
5080
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5081
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5082
 
5083
  * JATS environment
5084
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5085
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5086
    the JATS wrapper script.
5087
 
5088
  * Label utility
5089
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5090
    There are three modes of operation:
5091
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5092
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5093
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5094
 
5095
 
5096
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5097
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5098
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5099
Major changes:
5100
 
5101
Minor changes:
5102
  * label utility
5103
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5104
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5105
 
5106
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5107
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5108
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5109
      --ProgLoader=name
5110
 
5111
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5112
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5113
    Options to do this are:
5114
        --TreeDir=name
5115
        --FilterOut=regexp
5116
        --FilterIn=regexp
5117
        --StripDir
5118
 
5119
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5120
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5121
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5122
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5123
 
5124
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5125
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5126
 
5127
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5128
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5129
 
5130
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5131
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5132
 
5133
 
5134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5135
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5136
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5137
Major changes:
5138
    * Make commands
5139
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5140
 
5141
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5142
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5143
 
5144
    * Label utility
5145
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5146
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5147
 
5148
Minor changes:
5149
    * Toolsets
5150
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5151
      variables and overrides.
5152
 
5153
      The make_init target is always run.
5154
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5155
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5156
 
5157
    * Deployment
5158
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5159
      with deployment operations.
5160
 
5161
    * Release utility
5162
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5163
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5164
      restricted by options within the build.
5165
 
5166
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5167
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5168
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5169
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5170
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5171
 
5172
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5173
      directives.
5174
 
5175
    * MakeProject directive
5176
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5177
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5178
 
5179
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5180
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5181
      is preserved.
5182
 
5183
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5184
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5185
      statements.
5186
 
5187
    * Mugfile generation
5188
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5189
      be placed in the target package.
5190
 
5191

5194
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5195
Major changes:
5196
    * BuildVersion directive
5197
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5198
      number as well as a patch number.
5199
 
5200
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5201
      number.
5202
 
5203
Minor changes:
5204
    * AddFlags directives
5205
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5206
      duplicate flags being added.
5207
 
5208
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5209
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5210
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5211
 
5212
    * Mug File Generation
5213
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5214
 
5215
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5216
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5217
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5218
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5219
     directory.
5220
 
5221
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5222
     reproducible.

5225
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5226
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5227
Major changes:
5228
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5229
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5230
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5231
      longer a list of directories.
5232
 
5233
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5234
      done within the toolset.
5235
 
5236
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5237
 
5238
    * JATS environment variables
5239
      Redefined variable
5240
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5241
                          Previously was a list that included the
5242
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5243
 
5244
      New variable
5245
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5246
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5247
 
5248
 
5249
Minor changes:
5250
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5251
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5252
      target platforms to be extracted.
5253
 
5254
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5255
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5256
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5257
 
5258
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5259
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5260
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5261
 
5262
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5263
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5264
 
5265
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5266
      Support ANT based XML files
5267
 
5268
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5269
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5270
      structure.
5271
 
5272
    * makefile.pl's
5273
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5274
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5275
 
5276
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5277
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5278
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5279
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5280
 
5281
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5282
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5283
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5284
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5285
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5286
      -- Auto.
5287
 
5288
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5289
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5290
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5291
 
5292
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5293
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5294
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5295
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5296
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5297
 
5298
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5299
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5300
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5301
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5302
      installed on the machine.
5303
 
5304
    * WINCE Targets
5305
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5306
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5307
 
5308
 
5309
 
5310
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5311
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5312
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5313
Major changes:
5314
    * WIN32 platforms
5315
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5316
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5317
      and installed packages.
5318
 
5319
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5320
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5321
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5322
 
5323
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5324
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5325
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5326
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5327
      searched when looking for libraries.
5328
 
5329
Minor changes:
5330
    * GenerateFiles directive
5331
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5332
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5333
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5334
                          and drive letter
5335
 
5336
    * Src directive
5337
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5338
      directory of a package.
5339
 
5340
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5341
 
5342
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5343
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5344
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5345
 
5346
    * jats_rewrite utility
5347
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5348
 
5349
 
5350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5351
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5352
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5353
Major changes:
5354
    * SunWorks production builds
5355
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5356
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5357
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5358
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5359
      compiler documentation.
5360
 
5361
    * MOS Toolset
5362
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5363
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5364
 
5365
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5366
 
5367
Minor changes:
5368
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5369
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5370
      This should not affect current users.
5371
 
5372
    * Mugfile generation
5373
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5374
      specified.
5375
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5376
 
5377
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5378
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5379
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5380
Major changes:
5381
    MOS Toolset
5382
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5383
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5384
 
5385
Minor changes:
5386
    * Jats wrapper script
5387
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5388
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5389
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5390
 
5391
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5392
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5393
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5394
      may be suspect.
5395
 
5396
    * GenerateFiles directive
5397
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5398
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5399
 
5400
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5401
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5402
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5403
Major changes:
5404
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5405
      build.xml files.
5406
 
5407
Minor changes:
5408
    * WIN32 toolset.
5409
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5410
 
5411
    * MakeAnt
5412
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5413
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5414
 
5415
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5416
 
5417
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5418
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5419
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5420
 
5421
    * MakeAnt directive
5422
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5423
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5424
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5425
 
5426
      Recommended usage:
5427
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5428
 
5429
Internal Changes
5430
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5431

5434
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5435
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5436
Major changes:
5437
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5438
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5439
      files packaged into the release.
5440
 
5441
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
5442
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5445
 
5446
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5447
      The recommended platform is:
5448
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5449
 
5450
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5451
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5452
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5453
      components.
5454
 
5455
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
5456

5459
 
5460
Minor changes:
5461
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5462
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5463
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5464
      by the package to be accessed.
5465
 
5466
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5467
      application or visual studio.
5468
 
5469
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5470
      and the JATS Core path.
5471
 
5472
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5473
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5474
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5475
 
5476
    * MOS Toolset
5477
      Add support for the TPT device
5478
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5479
 
5480
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5481
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5482
 
5483
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5484
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5485
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5486
 
5487
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5488
 
5489
Internal Changes
5490
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5491
      in jats.pl
5492
 
5493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5494
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5495
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5496
Major changes:
5497
    * JATS wrapper script
5498
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5499
 
5500
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5501
 
5502
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5503
 
5504
Minor changes:
5505
    * Deployment support
5506
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5507
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5508
 
5509
    * 'build'
5510
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5511
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5512
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5513
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5514
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5515
 
5516
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5517
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5518
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5519
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5520
                                      the link phase.
5521
 
5522
    * BuildPkgArchive
5523
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5524
      Previously these were ignored.
5525
      Minor code cleanup
5526
 
5527
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5528
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5529
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5530
 
5531
    * SOLARIS targets
5532
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5533
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5534
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5535
 
5536
    * MugFile generation
5537
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5538
      included in the final package.
5539
 
5540
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5541
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5542
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5543
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5544
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5545
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5546
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5547
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5548
 
5549
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5550
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5551
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5552
            --Option=(some_text)
5553
            --Option=[some_text]
5554
            --Option={some_text}
5555
 
5556
Internal Changes
5557
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5558
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5559
      code.
5560
 
5561
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5562
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
5563
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5564
Major changes:
5565
    * JATS wrapper script
5566
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
5567
 
5568
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
5569
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
5570
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
5571
      other components.
5572
 
5573
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
5574
 
5575
    * JATS
5576
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
5577
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
5578
 
5579
    * Build operations
5580
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
5581
      if required packages are built against different versions of
5582
      packages.
5583
 
5584
    * Make operations
5585
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
5586
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
5587
 
5588
Minor changes:
5589
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
5590
      deployment builds.
5591
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
5592
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
5593
 
5594
      Extended the "jats vars" display
5595
 
5596
    * build.pl
5597
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
5598
        processed. Allows
5599
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
5600
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
5601
        production.
5602
 
5603
    * MOS toolset
5604
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
5605
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
5606
 
5607
    * create_dpkg utility
5608
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
5609
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
5610
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
5611
      progress of the build.
5612
 
5613
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
5614
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
5615
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
5616
      system.
5617

5620
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5621
Major changes:
5622
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5623
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
5624
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
5625
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
5626
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
5627
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
5628
 
5629
    * WCEX86A500 target
5630
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
5631
 
5632
    * MOS Toolsets
5633
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
5634
      the compiler.
5635
 
5636
    * RunTest directive
5637
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
5638
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
5639
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
5640
 
5641
Minor changes:
5642
    * JATS BUILD
5643
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
5644
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
5645
      highlight bad settings.
5646
 
5647
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
5648
      access to extensions.
5649
 
5650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5651
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
5652
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5653
Major changes:
5654
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5655
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
5656
 
5657
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
5658
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
5659
      under unix.
5660
 
5661
Minor changes:
5662
    * label utility
5663
      Added options to:
5664
        o Delete a label
5665
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
5666
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
5667
 
5668
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5669
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
5670
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
5671
      Package directives.
5672
 
5673
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
5674
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
5675
      system.
5676
 
5677
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5678
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
5679
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5680
Major changes:
5681
    * MOS Toolset
5682
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
5683
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
5684
 
5685
    * WIN32 Toolset
5686
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
5687
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
5688
      list.
5689
 
5690
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
5691
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
5692
 
5693
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
5694
 
5695
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
5696
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
5697
 
5698
 
5699
Minor changes:
5700
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
5701
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
5702
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
5703
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
5704
      corrected.
5705
 
5706
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
5707
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
5708
 
5709
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
5710
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
5711
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
5712

5714
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
5715
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5716
Major changes:
5717
    * WIN32 Toolset
5718
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
5719
      use with multithreaded modes.
5720
 
5721
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
5722
      --OnlyProd.
5723
 
5724
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
5725
      within the makefile.pl.
5726
 
5727
Minor changes:
5728
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
5729
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
5730
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
5731
      platforms.
5732
 
5733
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
5734
 
5735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5736
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
5737
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5738
Major changes:
5739
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
5740
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
5741
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
5742
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
5743
 
5744
    * Preliminary Support
5745
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
5746
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
5747
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
5748
 
5749
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
5750
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
5751
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
5752
 
5753
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
5754
      building. The default build will build both.
5755
 
5756
Minor changes:
5757
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
5758
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
5759
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
5760
 
5761
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
5762
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
5763
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
5764
 
5765

Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
5768
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5769
Major changes:
5770
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
5771
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
5772
      or all.
5773
 
5774
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
5775
      the library or program.
5776
 
5777
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
5778
 
5779
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
5780
      library or any debug files.
5781
 
5782
    * GenerateFiles
5783
      All processed arguments now support two options.
5784
 
5785
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
5786
              directory in which the prereq file is found
5787
 
5788
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
5789
              The filename of the prereq file
5790
 
5791
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
5792
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
5793
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
5794
 
5795
 
5796
Minor changes:
5797
    * create_dpkg utility
5798
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
5799
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
5800
      the package has been altered.

5808
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
5809
 
5810
    * New toolset
5811
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
5812
 
5813
    * Modified toolset
5814
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
5815
 
5816
    * Modified toolset
5817
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
5818
 
5819
Minor changes:
5820
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
5821
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
5822
 
5823
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
5824
 
5825
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
5826
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
5827
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
5828
 
5829
      The change allows the construct
5830
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
5831
      to be replaced by the simpler
5832
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
5833
 
5834
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
5835
      specified name.    
5836

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5856
Major changes:
5857
    * The "package.pl" file.
5858
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
5859
      package name being taken from the build name
5860
 
5861
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
5862
      package Build Name.
5863
 
5864
Minor changes:
5865
    * create_dpkg utility

    * Dependancy generator
5875
      Correct two common situations
5876
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
5877
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
5878
           ansi, but is often done.
5879
 
5880
    * GCC toolset
5881
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
5882
      being created in the correct place.
5883
 
5884
    * jats "label"
5885
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
5886
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
5887
 
5888
 
5889

Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
5891
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5892
Major changes:
5893
 
5894
Minor changes:
5895
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
5896
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
5897
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
5898
 
5899
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
5900
      pkg directory will be transferred.
5901
 
5902
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
5903
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
5904
      package was not being transferred.
5905
 
5906

Major changes:
5910
    * Support for solaris_i386
5911
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
5912
      binaries for this target.
5913
 
5914
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
5915
      with the GCC compiler.
5916
 
5917
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
5918
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
5919
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
5920
 
5921
Minor changes:
5922
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5923
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
5924
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5925
 
5926
    * cbuild ( release) utility
5927
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
5928
 
5929
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5930
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
5931
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5932
Major changes:
5933
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5934
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
5935
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5936
 
5937
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
5938
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
5939
 
5940
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
5941
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
5942
      with either " or ' characters.
5943
 
5944
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
5945
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
5946
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
5947
 
5948
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
5949
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
5950
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
5951
 
5952
    * Jats wrapper
5953
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
5954
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
5955
      further commands.
5956
 
5957
Minor changes:
5958
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
5959
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
5960
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
5961
      name of the .dep file and its content.
5962
 
5963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5964
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
5965
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5966
Major changes:
5967
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
5968
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
5969
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
5970
 
5971
      These options operation affect all components within the
5972
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
5973
      then they will affect all components within the build.
5974
 
5975
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
5976
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.

5985
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
5986
 
5987
Minor changes:
5988
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
5989
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
5990
 
5991
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
5992
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
5993

5995
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
5996
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5997
Major changes:
5998
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
5999
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6000
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6001
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6002
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6003
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6004
      installed.
6005
 
6006
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6007
      libraries that depend on each other.
6008
 
6009
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6010
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6011
 
6012
Minor changes:
6013
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6014
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6015
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6016
 
6017
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6018
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6019
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6020
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6021
 
6022
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6023
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6024
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6025
Major changes:
6026
 
6027
Minor changes:
6028
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6029
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6030
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6031
      file.
6032
 
6033
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6034
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6035
 
6036
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6037
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6038
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6039
 
6040
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6041
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6042
 
6043
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6044
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6045
 
6046
    * WinCE toolsets
6047
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6048
      compiler specific libraries.
6049
 
6050
    * SOLARIS toolset
6051
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6052
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6053
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6054
 
6055
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6056
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6057
      cleaned up.
6058
 
6059
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6060
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6061
 
6062
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6063
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6064
      with either " or ' characters.
6065
 
6066
 
6067
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6068
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6069
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6070
Major changes:
6071
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6072
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6073
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6074
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6075
 
6076
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6077
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6078
 
6079
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6080
      user.
6081
 
6082
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6083
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6084
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6085
 
6086
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6087
      for the   -Gf option.
6088
 
6089
Minor changes:
6090
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6091
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6092
 
6093
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6094
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6095
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6096
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6097
 
6098
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6099
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6101
Major changes:
6102
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6103
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6104
 
6105
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6106
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6107
      data addresses for the board.
6108
 
6109
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6110
 
6111
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6112
 
6113
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6114
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6115
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6116
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6117
         PackageFile
6118
 
6119
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6120
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6121
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6122
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6123
 
6124
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6125
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6126
      to be installed and packaged.
6127
 
6128
Minor changes:
6129
 
6130
    * cache_dpkg utility
6131
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6132
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6133
 
6134
    * label utility
6135
      New option -auto to create and label
6136
 
6137
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6138
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6139
 
6140
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6141
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6142
      directory. ie:
6143
 
6144
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6145
 
6146
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6147
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6148
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6149
 
6150
 
6151
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6152
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6153
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6154
Major changes:
6155
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6156
 
6157
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6158
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6159
 
6160
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6161
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6162
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6163
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6164
 
6165
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6166
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6167
      compilation.
6168
 
6169
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6170
 
6171
Minor changes:
6172
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6173
      one is being produced.
6174
 
6175
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6176
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6177
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6178
 
6179
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6180
 
6181
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6182
 
6183
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6184
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6185
 
6186
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6187
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6189
Major changes:
6190
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6191
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6192
 
6193
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6194
 
6195
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6196
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6197
      same directory
6198
 
6199
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6200
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6201
      documenattion.
6202
 
6203
Minor changes:
6204
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6205
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6206
 
6207
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6208
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6209
 
6210
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6211
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6212
 
6213
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6214
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6215
 
6216
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6217
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6218
      be exempt from this test.
6219
 
6220
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6221
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6222
 
6223
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6224
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6225
 
6226
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6227
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6228
      does.
6229
 
6230
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6231
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6232
 
6233
 
6234
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6235
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6236
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6237
Major changes:
6238
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6239
 
6240
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6241
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6242
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6243
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6244
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6245
 
6246
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6247
      operations.
6248
 
6249
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6250
 
6251
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6252
 
6253
Minor changes
6254
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6255
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6256
 
6257
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6258
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6259
      directory is not added to the library path.
6260
 
6261
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6262
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6263
 
6264
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6265
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6266
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6267
 
6268
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6269
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6270
      specific flags.
6271
 
6272
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6273
 
6274
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6275
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6276
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6277
 
6278
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6279
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6280
      JATS.
6281
 
6282
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6283
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6284
 
6285
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6286
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6287
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6288
 
6289
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6290
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6291
 
6292
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6293
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6294
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6295
 
6296
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6297
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6298
 
6299
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6300
 
6301
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6302
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6303
 
6304
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6305
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6306
      objects.
6307
 
6308
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6309
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6310
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6311
      build defendants.
