Version:  3.1.0000.cr                               Released: 
10
------------------------------------------------------------------------
11
Major changes:
2074 dpurdie 12
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
13
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
14
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
15
      these operations with a dedicated program.
16
 
2312 dpurdie 17
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2074 dpurdie 18
      of files into very long (>~260) paths as the utility supports the full
19
      windows path scheme.
20
 
21
Minor changes:
22
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
23
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
24
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
25
 
2354 dpurdie 26
    * Subversion Support
27
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
28
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
29
      repositories.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2312 dpurdie 32
Version:  3.0.5000.cr                               Released: 05-Oct-12
33
------------------------------------------------------------------------
34
 
35
Minor changes:
36
    * Jats build
37
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
38
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
39
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
40
 
41
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
42
      command, with a sandbox.
43
 
44
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages
45

50
Minor changes:
51
    * Utility: svn
52
      Added two subcommands
53
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
54
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
55
                 Can also display available branches.
56
 
2053 dpurdie 57
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
58
      Added '-keepgoing' option to allow the user to ignore errors
2029 dpurdie 59
 
60
    * Utility: rtag_extract
61
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
62
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
63
 
64
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
65
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
66
      Modified two options:
67
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
68
                        The named branch must not exist
69
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
70
                        The named branch must exist
71
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
80
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
81
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
82
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

------------------------------------------------------------------------
105
 
106
Major changes:
107
    * Jats Version Number
108
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
109
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
110
      significantly.
111
 
112
Minor changes:
113
    * Makefile Generation
114
      Packing of directories filters out .svn subdirectories

------------------------------------------------------------------------
122
Major changes:
1380 dpurdie 123
    * Subversion support
124
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
125
      SubVersion. Changes include:
126
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
127
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
128
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1341 dpurdie 129
 
130
Minor changes:
1359 dpurdie 131
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
132
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
133
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
134
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
135
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
136
 
1341 dpurdie 137
    * Utility: svnsave_build
138
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
139
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
140
 
1348 dpurdie 141
    * Linux support utilities
142
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
143
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
144
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.
145
 
1341 dpurdie 146
------------------------------------------------------------------------
147
Version:  2.100.6000.cr                               Released: 30-Jul-12
148
------------------------------------------------------------------------
149
Major changes:
1328 dpurdie 150
    * Subversion Repository location
151
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
152
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
153
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
154
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
155
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1269 dpurdie 156
 
157
Minor changes:
1328 dpurdie 158
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
159
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
160
 
1269 dpurdie 161
    * Utility: svnrelease
162
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
163
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
164
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
165
 
1328 dpurdie 166
    * Utility: svnsave_build
167
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
168
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
169
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
170
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1269 dpurdie 171
 
172
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
173
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
174
 
1328 dpurdie 175
    * Utility: sandbox
176
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
177
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
178
 
179
      Subcommand: populate
180
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
181
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
182
      sandbox.
183
 
1269 dpurdie 184
    * Subversion Support
185
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
186
      repository is not supported.
187
 
188
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
189
      a progress indication.
190
 
191
    * Jats Online Documentation
192
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
193
      online documentation.
194
 
1328 dpurdie 195
    * Generated makefiles
196
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

------------------------------------------------------------------------
242
Major changes:
243
 
244
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 245
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 246
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
247
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
248
 
249
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 250
      Specialized platform for the VIX 'ITP' product.
383 dpurdie 251
 
252
    * Subversion Support
253
      Documented the use of 'TIMESTAMP' in svn commands

379 dpurdie 271
Version:  2.100.0000.cr                               Released: 23-Mar-12
272
------------------------------------------------------------------------
273
Major changes:
274
 
275
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
276
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
277
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
278
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
279
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
280
 
281
    * C# Toolchain
282
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.
283

285
    * Jats wrapper script
286
      New option: -logfile=name
287
 
288

289
      jats.bat example (Windows)
290
      jats.sh example (Unix)
291
      Redefined location of the Perth Subversion server AUPERASVN01
292
 
293
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
294
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
295
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
296
 
297
    * Utility ccrelease
298
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
299
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
300
 
301
    * Utility: svn
302
      Improved package import processing.
303
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
304
 
305
    * Jats Utility: gen_cots
306
      Added support for Subversion.
307
      Subversion is supported on Windows and Unix.
308
      ClearCase is supported on Windows.
309
 
310
    * Jats Utility: vcsdiff
311
      New Utility. Will diff two versions of a package. Supports
312
      mixed ClearCase and Subversion versions.
313
      Under windows it can invoke BeyondCompare
314
      Under Windows and Unix it can perform a MD5 check over both directories.

377 dpurdie 317
Version:  2.99.2000.cr                               Released: 3-Feb-12
318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
319
Major changes:
320
 
321
Minor changes:
322
    * BuildVersion directive
323
      Updated Company Name, Copyright and Trademark strings to 'Vix IP Pty Ltd'
324
 
325
    * GCC Toolset
326
      Added support for filterering warning messages, via a warnings.gcc file
327
 
328
------------------------------------------------------------------------
375 dpurdie 329
Version:  2.99.1000.cr                               Released: 13-Jan-12
330
------------------------------------------------------------------------
331
Major changes:
332
 
333
Minor changes:
334
    * Command: jats clobber
335
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
336
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
337
 
338
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
339
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
340
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
341
 
342
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
343
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
344
 
377 dpurdie 345
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
346
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
347
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 348
 
349
    * jats svnlabel
350
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
351
 
352
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
353
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
354
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
355
 
356
    * Built Daemon support
357
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
358
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
359
 
360
------------------------------------------------------------------------
373 dpurdie 361
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
363
Major changes:
364
    * GCC Toolset
365
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
366
      New methodology is:
367
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
368
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
369
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
370
        as the main binary.
371
 
372
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
373
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
374
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
375
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
376
      both worlds.
377
 
378
Minor changes:
379
    * HTML Documentation
380
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
381
 
382
Internal changes:
383
    * Generated makefiles
384
      Removed the make_usage target as it is inaccessible. It was replaced by
385
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.
386
 
387

371 dpurdie 388
Version:  2.98.4000.cr                               Released: 23-Dec-11
389
------------------------------------------------------------------------
390
Major changes:
391
    * Jats Sandbox
392
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
393
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
394
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
395

    * HTML Help
510
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
511
 
512
    * jats build -noforce
513
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
514
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
515
      be forced.
516
 
517
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
518
 
519
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
520
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
521
 
522
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
523
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
524
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
525
 
526
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
527
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
528
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
529
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
530
 
531
    * Utility: svnrelease
532
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
533
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
534
 
535
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
536
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
537
 
538
    * Utility: svn
539
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
540
      installed and can be used.
541
 
542
    * Toolset: CSharp
543
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
544
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
545
      character.
546
 
547
    * Toolset: SunWorks
548
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
549
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
550
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
551
      masking an error.
552
 
553
    * Toolset: Delphi7
554
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
555
      enhancement.
556
 
557
    * Toolset: dafbr
558

559
 
560
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
561

562
        - Return correct path to package
563
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
564
 
565
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
566
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
567
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
568
 
569
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
570
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
571
      packages.
572
 
573
    * make command: show
574
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
575
      'jats make show' command.
576
 
577
    * Utility: create_dpkg
578
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
579
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
580
 
581
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
582
      executed on Unix machines.

Internal:
817
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
818
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
819
      processing into jats.pl
820
 
821
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
822
      a ClearCase site.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
886
Major changes:
887
    * [DEVI-062103]
888
      Many (11) toolsets - all that generate linker dependency
889
      files for creating shared libraries or programs.
890
        Solaris, Gcc, WIN32, Wince, MOS, Verix, Keil, AVR_IAR,

892
 
893
      Better, simpler, and in some cases correct, generation
894
      of dependency files used in linking. Also generate separate
895
      files for Production and Debug builds.
896
 
897
Minor changes:
898
    * Jats sandbox command
899
      The 'info' subcommand will highlight external packages that cannot be
900
      found in any of the the package archives.
901

921
Minor changes:
922
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
923
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
924
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
925
      resulting in multiple builds.
926
 
927
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
928
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
929
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
930
 
931
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
932
 
933
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
934
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
935
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

939
------------------------------------------------------------------------
940
Major changes:
941
 
942
Minor changes:
943
    * Jats label command
944
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
945
      Not recommended for general use.
946
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
947
      directories within the current view.
948
 
949
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
950
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
951
      elsewhere.
952
 
953
    * Jats save_build
954
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
955
      the determination of a branch.
956
 
957
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
958
      up labeling by the build daemons.
959
 
960
    * Jats build
961
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
962
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
963
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
964
 
965
    * Borland6 toolset
966
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
967
      to match the documented install location of:
968
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
969
 
970
    * Jats build
971
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
972
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
973
      This is a very quick operation.
974
 
975
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
976
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
977
 
978
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
979
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
980
      files are only recreated if need be.
981
 
982
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
983
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
984
      make the package.
985
 
986
    * Jats sandbox
987
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
988
 
989
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
990
      be a complete build of all component packages.
991
 
992
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
993
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
994
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
995
      is performed.
996
 
997
Internal:
998
    * build.pl
999
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

1031
Major changes:
1032
 
1033
Minor changes:
1034
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1035
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1036
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1037
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1038
 
1039
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1040
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1041
 
1042
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1043
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1044
      platform builds.
1045
 
1046
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1047
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1048
      directory tree.
1049
 
1050
    * New command: jats man
1051
      Produces full help on a specified item.
1052
 
1053
Internal changes:
1054
    * jats upddep
1055
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.

1063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1064
Major changes:
1065
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1066
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1067
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1068
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1069
 
1070
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1071
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1072
 
1073
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1074
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1075
 
1076
      Examples:
1077
            jats upddep -show
1078
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1079
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1080
 
1081
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1082
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1083
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1084
 
1085
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1086
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1087
 
1088
Minor changes:
1089
 
1090
Internal changes:
1091
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

1096
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1097
Major changes:
1098
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1099
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1100
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1101
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1102
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1103
      stream.
1104
 
1105
      Example:
1106
 
1107
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1108
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1109
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1110
                     );
1111
Minor changes:
1112
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1113
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1114
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1115
      directive.
1116
 
1117
    * GCC Toolkit
1118
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1119
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1120
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1121
      the point of termination.
1122
 
1123
    * Jats save_build utility
1124
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1125
      under windows.
1126
 
1127
    * Jats sandbox
1128
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1129
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1130
      in different sandboxes.
1131
 
1132
    * Jats release
1133
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1134

    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1142
      Added -locatedir=name
1143
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1144
      directory.
1145
 
1146
    * jats label utility
1147
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1148
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1149
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1150
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1151
 
1152
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1153

1159
Minor changes:
1160
    * WinCe Toolsets
1161
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1162
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1163
        noExceptions            - Disable
1164
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1165
      Example:
1166
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1167
 
1168
    * Solaris targets
1169
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1170
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1171
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1172
      machine type.

1176
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1177
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1178
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1179
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1180
      project files.
1181
 
1182
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1183
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1184
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1185
 
1186
Minor changes:
1187
    * Added more internal documentation
1188
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1189
 
1190
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1191
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1192
 
1193
    * Jats save_build utility
1194
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1195
      under windows.
1196
 
1197
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1198
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1199
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1200
      libraries.
1201
 
1202
    * Solaris builds
1203
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1204
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1205
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1206
      of the build failure.
1207
 
1208
 
1209
Internal changes:
1210
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1211
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1212
 
1213
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1214
      PkgArchive topics.

1220
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1221
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1222
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1223
      existing 32-bit builds.
1224
 
1225
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1226
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1227
 
1228
Minor changes:
1229
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1230
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1231
 
1232
    * Package searching
1233
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1234
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1235
 
1236
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1237
 
1238
    * jats help
1239
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1240
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1241
 
1242
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1243
      with one of:
1244
        jats -h
1245
        jats help jats
1246
 
1247
Internal:
1248
    * cmdfile utility
1249
      Added macros:
1250
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1251
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1252
 
1253
      Corrected
1254
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1255
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1256
 
1257
      Extended
1258
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1259
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1260
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1261
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Version:  2.80.4000.cr                               Released: 17-Dec-09
1265
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1266
Major changes:
1267
 
1268
Minor changes:
1269
 
1270
Internal changes
1271
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1272
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1273
      Useful side effects include:
1274
 
1275
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1276
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1277
 
1278
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1279
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1280
 
1281
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1282
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1283
        BuildPkgArchive
1284
 
313 dpurdie 1285
    * Perl Modules
1286
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1287
      release. This will:
1288
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1289
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1290
          reported by ERG.
1291
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

1296
Major changes:
1297
 
1298
Minor changes:
1299
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1300
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1301
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1302
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1303
 
1304
    * Jats label utility
1305
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1306
 
1307
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1308
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1309
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1310
 
1311
    * Jats core
1312
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1313
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1314
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1323
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1324
      This is now fixed.
1325
 
309 dpurdie 1326
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1327
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1328
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1329
 
1330
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1331
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
1332

    * Generating makefiles
1340
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1341
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1342
      an error.
1343
 
1344
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1345
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1346
 
1347
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1348
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 1349

1354
Major changes:
1355
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1356
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1357
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1358
 
1359
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1360
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1361
 
1362
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1363
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1364
      Support includes
1365
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1366
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1367
 
1368
Minor changes:
1369
    * Build file processing
1370
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1371
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1372
 
1373
    * MOS builds
1374
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1375
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1376
 
1377
    * MOS builds
1378
      New 'known' product: PICP
1379
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1380
 
1381
    * GenerateFiles directive
1382
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1383
        under windows.
1384
 
1385
        .
1386
 
1387
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1388
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1389
 
1390
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1391
      to the output stream.
1392
 
1393
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1394
 
1395
    * Windows Shell
1396
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1397
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1398
 
1399
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1400
 
1401
    * H8S toolset
1402
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1403
 
1404
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1405
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1406
 
1407
Internal changes
1408
    * WinCe builds
1409
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1410
      content of the file.
1411
 
1412
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1413
 
1414
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1415
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
1416

1427
Major changes:
1428
 
1429
Minor changes:
1430
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1431
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1432
      Changes are transparent to users.
1433
 
1434
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1435
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1436
      this occurs.
1437
 
1438
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1439
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1440
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1441
      automated build framework.
1442
 
1443
    * jats sandbox command
1444
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1445
      'create' command.
1446
 
1447
    * jats command aliases. Added
1448
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1449
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1454
Major changes:
1455
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1456
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1457
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1458
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1459
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1460
      will work as expected
1461
 
1462
Minor changes:
1463
    * VS2008 Toolset
1464
      Picking up incorrect config details
1465
      May result in a warning message.
1466
 
1467
    * gen_cots utility
1468
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1469
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1470
 
1471
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1472
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
1473
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths
1474

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1520
Major changes:
1521
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1522
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1523
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1524
 
1525
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1526
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1527
 
1528
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1529
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1530
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1531
           names cannot be changed.
1532
 
1533
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1534
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1535
 
1536
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1537
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1538
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1539
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1540
 
1541
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1542
      file.
1543
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1544
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1545
      MyPackage.dpk.
1546
 
1547
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1548
      file.
1549
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1550
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1551
      MyDll.dpr.
1552
 
1553
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1554
      file.
1555
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1556
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1557
      MyProg.dpr.
1558
 
1559
Minor changes:
1560
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1561
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1562
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1563
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1564
 
1565
    * BuildVersion directive
1566
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1567
      in a Delphi Unit.
1568
 
1569
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1570
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1571
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1572
      'know' the location of the files.
1573
 
1574
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
1575
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
1576
 
1577
Internal Changes:
1578
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
1579
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
1580
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
1581
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
1582
 
1583
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
1584
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
1585
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
1586

1589
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1590
Major changes:
1591
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
1592
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
1593
      information for purely C++ builds.
1594
 
289 dpurdie 1595
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
1596
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.

1647
      used in the build.
1648
 
1649

1650
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
1651
 
1652
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
1653
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
1654
      build files against the Release Manager information.
1655
 
1656

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1662
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 1663
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 1664
 
279 dpurdie 1665
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
1666
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
1667
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 1668
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 1669
 
1670
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
1671
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
1672
 
1673
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
1674
 
1675
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
1676
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
1677
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
1678
 
1679
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
1680
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
1681
        processed.
1682
 
1683
      Removed the '-delete' option
1684
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
1685
 
277 dpurdie 1686
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 1687
    * Sandbox command
1688
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
1689
 
1690
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
1691
      target from consideration in the build set.
1692
 
1693
    * MCR Toolset
1694
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
1695
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
1696
 
1697
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
1698
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
1699
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
1700
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
1701
 
1702
    * Jats run_test command
1703
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
1704
      tests we run on a Window machine.
1705
 
1706
    * descpkg file
1707
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
1708
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
1709
 
1710
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
1711
     Now contains build trace information
1712
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
1713
 
1714
   * jats abt command simplified usage
1715
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
1716
     it contains 'jar' files.
1717
 
1718
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
1719
 
1720
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
1721
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
1722
 
1723
   * BuildVersion directive
1724
     Form:
1725
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
1726
     now works as expected.
1727
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
1728
 
1729
Internal Changes:
1730
 
1731
    * Error reporting mechanism
1732
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to

1734
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

1746
    then starts.
1747
 
1748
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
1749
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
1750
 
1751
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
1752
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
1753
    non-platform option.
1754
 
279 dpurdie 1755
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

        define_source_file              (Default)
1918
 
1919
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
1920
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
1921
 
1922
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
1923
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward

      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
1934
      GenerateCab.
1935
 
1936

2088
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2089
      Previously was being done at two places
2090
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2091
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but

2093
 
2094
    * JATS make: Command line
2095
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2096

2151
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
2152
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
2153
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2154
 
2155
Minor changes:
2156
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2157
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
2158

2165
Major changes:
2166
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
2167
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2168
 
2169
      New platforms:
2170
        CSHARP2005
2171
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2172
         Support extends to allow:
2173
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2174
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2175
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2176
 
2177
        VS2005
2178
         Support extends to allow:
2179
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2180
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2181
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2182
 
2183
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2184
      through a version selector:
2185
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2186
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2187
 
2188
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2189
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2190
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2191
 
2192
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2193
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2194
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2195
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2196
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2197
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2198
          under VS2005.
2199
 
2200
Minor changes:
2201
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

2205
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2206
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2207
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2208
 
2209
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2210
 
2211
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2212
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2213
 
2214
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2215
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2216
      a minimal value of perl.
2217
 
2218
      Removed excessive require statements.
2219
 
2220
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2221
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2222
      Include JATS specific files for
2223
        1) Windows
2224
        2) Linux
2225
 
2226
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2227
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2228
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2229
      machines.
2230
 
2231
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2232
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2233
 
2234
    * JATS Environment
2235
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2236
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2237
 
2238
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2239
      wrapper scripts.
2240
 
2241
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2242
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2243
      Spell check help and code.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2296
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2297
  * New toolset and platform
2298
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2299
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2300
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2301
    this platform.
2302
 
2303
Minor changes:
2304
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2305
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2306
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2307
    work.
2308
 
2309
  * Jats utility: release
2310
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2311
    published to dpkg_archive.
2312
 
249 dpurdie 2313
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2314
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2315
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2316
    supported for ANT builds.
2317
 
2318
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2319
        releasemanager.releasename
2320
        releasemanager.projectname
2321
 
2322
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2323
    tagged data item of the form
2324
 
2325
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2326
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2327
 
2328
  * Mug File Generation
2329
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2330
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2331
 
2332
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2333
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2334
    required.
2335
 
2336
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2337
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2338
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2339
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2340
    the files in order to use them.
2341
 
2342
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2343
    locate the file.
2344
 
2345
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2346
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2347
 
2348
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2349
        * CSharp
2350
        * Properties
2351
        * WinRC
2352
 
2353
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2354
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2355
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2356
    Value is correctly assigned.

Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2362
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2363
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2364
 
2365
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2366
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2367
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2368
 
2369
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2370
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2371
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2372
 
2373
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2374
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2375
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2376
 
2377
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2378
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2379
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2380
    correct.
2381
 
2382
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2383
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2384
 
2385
Minor changes:
2386
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2387
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2388
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2389
 
2390
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2391
    This will simplify new user setup.
2392
 
2393
  * All Unix Toolsets
2394
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2395
    on unix systems

2401
  * JATS -version=<version>
2402
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2403
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

  * JATS builds
2449
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
2451
    mode.
2452
 
2453
  * JATS makefiles
2454
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2455
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2456
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2457
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2458
                            SetList directive.

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
2504
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
2505
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
2506
 
2507
    * MOS Toolset
2508
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
2509
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
2510
 
2511
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

    * Extract/Release utility.
2558
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
2559
      that can handle spaces
2560
 
2561
    * MOS Compiler
2562
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2563
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
2564
 
2565
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2566
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
2567
      descpkg files to be copied.
2568
 
2569
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
2570
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
2571
 
2572
    * JATS ANT command
2573
      Better selection of the ant build file
2574
 
2575
    * Build directive: BuildVersion

    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
2586
 
2587
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
2588
      <project> field.

2604
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 2605
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
2606
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
2607
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
2608
 
2609
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2610
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
2611
 
2612
    * Jats wrapper
2613
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
2614
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
2615

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2619
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 2620
    * Jats Release Mechanism
2621
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
2622
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
2623
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
2624
 
2625
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
2626
 
2627
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
2628
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
2629
 
2630
    * Running Jats
2631
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
2632
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
2633
      This may affect some windows developers.
2634
 
2635
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
2636
      Future versions will generate an error.
2637
 
2638
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
2639
 
2640
Minor changes:
2641
    * Perl Version Check
2642
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
2643
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
2644
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
2645
 
2646
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
2647
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
2648
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
2649
      build.
2650
 
2651
    * Jats Internals
2652
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
2653
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
2654
 
2655
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
2656
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
2657
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
2658
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
2659
      process.
2660
 
2661
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
2662
      Only works under Windows.
2663
 
2664
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
2665
 
2666
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
2667
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
2668
 
2669
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2670
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
2671
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
2672
 
2673
    * Jats eprog
2674
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
2675
      directory.
2676
 
2677
    * jats tool jats_metrics
2678
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
2679
      build metrics.
2680
 
2681

2684
Major changes:
2685
 
2686
Minor changes:
2687
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
2688
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
2689
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
2690
      automated build system. New options are:
2691
        -pname=Package_Name
2692
        -pversion=Package_Version
2693
 
2694
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
2695
      transferring the package. New options are:
2696
        -test
2697
 
2698
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2699
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
2700
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
2701
 
2702
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
2703
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
2704
 
2705
    * Solaris Toolset
2706
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
2707
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
2708
      programs are still supported.
2709

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2713
Major changes:
2714
 
2715
Minor changes:
2716
    * WINCE toolsets
2717
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
2718
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
2719
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
2720
      when header files cannot be found.
2721
 
2722
    * GenerateFiles directive
2723
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
2724
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
2725
      that are difficult to solve.
2726
 
2727
    * MakePerlModule directive
2728
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
2729
      to the the module builder.
2730
 
2731
    * Jats Tool: label
2732
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
2733
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
2734
      -dirs=xxx options.
2735
 
2736
    * Jats Tool: release
2737
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
2738
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
2739
 
2740
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
2741
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
2742
 
2743
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2744
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
2745
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
2746
 
2747
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

2753
Major changes:
2754
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
2755
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
2756
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
2757
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
2758
 
2759
Minor changes:
2760
    * label utility
2761
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
2762
 
2763
    * make package and install operations
2764
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
2765
      transfer.
2766
 
2767
    * make clean up
2768
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
2769
 
2770
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
2771
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
2772
      minor file transformations such as:
2773
        Copy, with optional rename
2774
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
2775
        Perform simple TAG replacement
2776
 
2777
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
2778
 
2779
    * jats release utility

2781
      in place.
2782
 
2783
    * escrow utility
2784
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
2785
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

2805
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
2806
 
2807
    * Makefile generation
2808
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
2809
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
2810
 
2811
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
2812
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
2813
 
2814
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
2815
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
2816
      branch. The locks will be removed.
2817
 
2818
    * jats_rewrite utility
2819
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
2820
 
2821
    * jats escrow utility
2822
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
2823
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
2824
 
2825
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
2826
      inconsistent packages.
2827
 
2828
    * jats make help
2829
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
2830
      available within the current build.
2831
 
2832
    * jats makefiles
2833
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
2834
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
2835
 
2836
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
2837
      pl, then it will be ignored.
2838
 
2839
    * gcc toolset
2840
      SharedLibries.
2841
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
2842
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
2843
 
2844
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
2845
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
2846
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
2847
 
2848
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
2849
        New options:
2850
            --MultiScan
2851
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
2852
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
2853
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

2861
Minor changes:
2862
    PackageLib directive
2863
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
2864
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
2865
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
2866
 
2867
    MakefileGenerate directive
2868
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
2869
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
2870
 
2871
    Multiple Parent detection
2872
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
2873
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
2874
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
2875
    condition will be treated as a warning.
2876
 
2877
    Solaris Toolset
2878
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
2879
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
2880
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
2881
    link.
2882
 
2883
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
2884
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
2885
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
2886
 
2887
    Make and generation of subdirectories
2888
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
2889
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
2890
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2895
Major changes:
2896
    Makefile generation and make recursion
2897
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
2898
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
2899
 
2900
    Summary of changes:
2901
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
2902
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
2903
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
2904
          flexibility.
2905
 
2906
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
2907
 
2908
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
2909
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
2910
          interface directory and associated build information.
2911
 
2912
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
2913
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
2914
          than one second.
2915
 
2916
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
2917
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
2918
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
2919
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
2920
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
2921
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
2922
 
2923
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
2924
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
2925
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
2926
 
2927
        - Better makefile rebuilding
2928
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
2929
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
2930
          building them.
2931
 
2932
        - Detection of build file changes
2933
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
2934
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
2935
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
2936
 
2937
        - Quieter make output
2938
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
2939
 
2940
 
2941
Minor changes:
2942
    MakeAnt Directive
2943
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
2944
 
2945
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
2946
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
2947
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
2948
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
2949
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
2950
 
2951
    CSHARP toolset
2952
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories

2962
 
2963
    MakeAnt
2964
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
2965
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
2966
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
2967
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
2968

2983
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
2984
 
2985
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
2986
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
2987
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the

    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3010
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3011
 
3012
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3013
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3014
    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
3048
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3049
 
3050
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3051
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3052
      last.
3053
 
3054
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3055
 
3056
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3057
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3058
 
3059
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3060
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3061
 
3062
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3063
 
3064
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3065
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3066
 
3067
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3068
 
3069
 
3070
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3071

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3095
Major changes:
3096
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3097
 
3098
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3099
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3100
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3101
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3102
      path.
3103
 
3104
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3105
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3106
      reproducible.
3107
 
3108
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3109
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3110
 
3111
      There are several aspects to the change
3112
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3113
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3114
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3115
 
3116
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3117
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3118
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3119
          controlled separately.
3120
 
3121
Minor changes:
3122
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3123
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3124
        Remove duplicates
3125
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3126

3132
Minor changes:
3133
    * Makefile sanity test
3134
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3135
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3136
 
3137
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3138
      x86 machine.
3139
 
3140
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3141
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3142

3145
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3146
Major changes:
3147
    * RunTest directive
3148
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3149
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3150
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3151
 
3152
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3153
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3154
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3155
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3156
 
3157
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3158
        builder within the current toolset.
3159
 
3160
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3161
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3162
 
3163
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3164
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3165
      containing the RunTest directive.
3166
 
3167
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3168
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3169
 
3170
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3171
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3172
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3173
 
3174
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3175
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3176
                            P or D suffix.
3177
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3178
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3179
 
3180
Minor changes:
3181
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3182
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3183
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3184
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3185
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3186
 
3187
    * Save Build Utility
3188
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3189
      used in a ripple build.
3190
 
3191
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3192
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3193
 
3194
    * Release Utility
3195
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3196
      when an error is encountered.
3197
 
3198
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3199
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3200
 
3201
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3202
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3203
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3204
 
3205
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3206
      before the makefiles are created.
3207
 
3208
    * TestProg directive
3209
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3210
 
3211
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3212
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3213

3215
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
3216
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3217
Major changes:
3218
    * New build target
3219
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3220
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3221
 
3222
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3223
            DEVLINUX
3224
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3225
 
3226
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3227
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3228
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3229
 
3230
Minor changes:
3231
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3232
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3233
 
3234
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3235
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3236
 
3237
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3238
      and .cs files.
3239
 
3240
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3241
      thing.
3242
 
3243
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3244
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3245
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3246
      were it places temp files.
3247
 
3248
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3249
      interaction with other builds.
3250
 
3251
    * Release utility command
3252
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3253
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3254
      component in the clearcase tag name.
3255

3257
Version: JATS_2.66.0                                Released: 27-Jun-07
3258
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3259
Major changes:
3260

3271
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3272
 
3273
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3274
    as a Script.

3302
Major changes:
3303
 
3304
Minor changes:
3305
  * WINCE Support
3306
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3307
 
3308
  * Removed the following targets
3309
        TP5600
3310
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3311
        TP5600_EMU
3312
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3313
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3314
 
3315
  * Deployment
3316
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3317
 
3318
  * build.pl
3319
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3320
 
3321
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3322
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3323
 
3324
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3325
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3326
    build.
3327
 
3328
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3329
 
3330
  * Tool: escrow
3331
     New features
3332
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3333
     are not in the SBOM.
3334
 
3335
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3336
 
3337
     Specify packages to be ignored.
3338

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3341
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3342
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3343
Major changes:
3344
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3345
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3346
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3347
 
3348
  * GenerateFiles
3349
    Added the options:
3350
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3351
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3352
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3353
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3354
 
3355
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3356
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3357
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3358
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3359
                                  required.
3360
 
3361
 
3362
Minor changes:
3363
  * GenerateFile directive
3364
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3365
 
3366
  * GCC Toolset
3367
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3368
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3369
    be rebuilt.
3370
 
3371
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3372
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3373
 
3374
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3375
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3376
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3377
Major changes:
3378
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3379
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3380
    environment variables.
3381
 
3382
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3383
            moved.
3384
 
3385
    This will affect users that:
3386
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3387
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3388
 
3389
        2) Use the ABT system
3390
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3391
           the required configuration
3392
 
3393
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3394
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3395
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3396
    Windows
3397
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3398
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3399
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3400
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3401
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3402
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3403
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3404
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3405
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3406
 
3407
 
3408
  * New build platforms
3409
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3410
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3411
 
3412
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3413
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3414
 
3415
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3416
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3417
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3418
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3419
 
3420
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3421
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3422
    release.
3423
 
3424
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3425
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3426
 
3427
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3428
    need to be converted.
3429
 
3430
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3431
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3432
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3433
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3434
    used for different targets platforms.
3435
 
3436
  * Sandbox support
3437
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3438
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3439
 
3440
    New command: jats sandbox ...
3441
 
3442
Minor changes:
3443
 
3444
 
3445
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3446
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
3447
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3448
Major changes:
3449
  * MakeAnt directive
3450
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3451
 
3452
    New options
3453
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3454
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3455
 
3456
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3457
    run_unit_tests phase.
3458
 
3459
  * Sandbox support
3460
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3461
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3462
 
3463
Minor changes:
3464
  * jats build
3465
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3466
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3467
 
3468
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3469
 
3470
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3471
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3472
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3473
 
3474
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3475
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3476
 
3477
  * JATS.BAT
3478
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3479
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3480
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3481
 
3482
  * jats label
3483
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3484
 
3485
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3486
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3487
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3488
Major changes:
3489
  * New build platform:
3490
        LMOS_TP5600
3491
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3492
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3493
 
3494
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3495
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3496
    describe the group of platforms.
3497
 
3498
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3499
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3500
    build these targets.
3501
 
3502
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3503
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3504
 
3505
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3506
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3507
 
3508
  * New build platform: WINCE
3509
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3510
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3511
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3512
 
3513
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3514
            WCEIT3000
3515
            WCEPA961
3516
            WCEPA962
3517
            WCEPCM7220
3518
            WCEPSION_420
3519
            WCEPSPC_arm
3520
            WCEPSPC_emu
3521
            WCEX86A420
3522
            WCEX86A500
3523
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
3524
 
3525
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3526
 
3527
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3528
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3529
    that contain packaging directives.
3530
 
3531
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3532
    very unusual configurations.
3533
 
3534
Minor changes:
3535
  * Directive: PackageFile
3536
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3537
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3538
    an '='.
3539
 
3540
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3541
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3542
 
3543
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3544
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3545
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3546
 
3547
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3548
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3549
 
3550
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3551
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3552
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3553
Major changes:
3554
 
3555
  * JATS release command
3556
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3557
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3558
 
3559
    Rules are:
3560
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3561
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3562
                            File will be placed on a branch
3563
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3564
                            New directory will branch
3565
 
3566
Minor changes:
3567
  * JATS release command
3568
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3569
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3570
 
3571
  * JATS label command
3572
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
3573
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
3574
 
3575
  * JATS make
3576
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
3577
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
3578
    was re-packaged.
3579
 
3580
  * JATS escrow
3581
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
3582
    Use jats escrow -help for details
3583
 
3584
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
3585
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
3586
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
3587
 
3588
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
3589
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
3590
    interface directory.
3591
 
3592
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
3593
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
3594
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
3595
    directory as seen by the package.
3596
 
3597
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
3598
 
3599
  * JAVA 6
3600
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
3601
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
3602
 
3603
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
3604
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
3605
 
3606
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
3607
 
3608
  * Jats command: vars
3609
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
3610
    These indicate potential problems.
3611
 
3612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3613
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
3614
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3615
Major changes:
3616
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
3617
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
3618
    libarry is also created.
3619
 
3620
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
3621
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
3622
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
3623
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
3624
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
3625
    information contained within the file.
3626
 
3627
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
3628
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
3629
 
3630
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
3631
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
3632
 
3633
  * Building Perl Modules
3634
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
3635
    documentation on the build machine.
3636
 
3637
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
3638
 
3639
Minor changes:
3640
  * jats create_dpkg
3641
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
3642
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
3643
 
3644
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3645
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
3646
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3647
Major changes:
3648
  * JATS JAVA build target
3649
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
3650
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
3651
 
3652
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
3653
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
3654
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
3655
    is then picked up as the default version.
3656
 
3657
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
3658
    build.pl file.
3659
 
3660
Minor changes:
3661
  * jats release
3662
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
3663
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
3664
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
3665
 
3666
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
3667
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
3668
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
3669
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
3670
    the name of the view.
3671
 
3672
  * GenerateFiles directive
3673
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
3674
 
3675
  * MOS Toolset
3676
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
3677
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
3678
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
3679
 
3680
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
3681
 
3682
 
3683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3684
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
3685
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3686
Major changes:
3687
 
3688
Minor changes:
3689
  * JATS environment
3690
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
3691
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
3692
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
3693
 
3694
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
3695
 
3696
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
3697
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
3698
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
3699
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
3700
    to be packaged.
3701
 
3702
  * Generated makefiles
3703
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
3704
 
3705
  * Generating MOS THX files
3706
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
3707
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
3708
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
3709
 
3710
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
3711
 
3712
  * JATS release
3713
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
3714
 
3715
  * JATS extract
3716
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
3717
 
3718
  * JATS Toolset
3719
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
3720
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
3721
 
3722

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3724
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
3725
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3726
Major changes:
3727
 
3728
Minor changes:
3729
  * jats label
3730
    Added a -vob=name option
3731
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
3732
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
3733
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
3734
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
3735
 
3736
    Added a -user=name option
3737
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
3738
    label to the named user.
3739
 
3740
  * jats release
3741
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
3742
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
3743
 
3744
  * JATS build.pl
3745
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
3746
    ie:
3747
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
3748

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3751
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
3752
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3753
Major changes:
3754
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
3755
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
3756
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
3757
    the makefile internals. ie:
3758
        --Var(BuildName)
3759
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
3760
        -BuildName=MyPackage
3761
 
3762
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
3763
 
3764
  * GenerateFiles
3765
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
3766
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
3767
 
3768
  * BuildPlatforms
3769
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
3770
 
3771
Minor changes:
3772
  * GCC Toolset
3773
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
3774
 
3775
Internal changes:
3776
  * GenerateFiles
3777
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
3778
 
3779
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
3780
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
3781
 
3782
 
3783
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3784
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
3785
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3786
Major changes:
3787
  * Caching JATS
3788
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
3789
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
3790
 
3791
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
3792
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
3793
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
3794
 
3795
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
3796
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
3797
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
3798
 
3799
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
3800
 
3801
Minor changes:
3802
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
3803
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
3804
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
3805
 
3806
  * jats build
3807
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
3808
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
3809
    processed by the build.
3810
 
3811
  * jats build
3812
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
3813
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
3814
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
3815
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
3816
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
3817
 
3818
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
3819
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
3820
    Path is not specified.
3821
 
3822
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
3823
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
3824
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
3825
        --Dir=$Pinc
3826
    but $Pinc is not defined.
3827
 
3828
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
3829
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
3830
    Windows platform.
3831
 
3832
        - OPTIONS=purecov
3833
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
3834
            by 'purecov.
3835
 
3836
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3837
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
3838
 
3839
        - OPTIONS=purify
3840
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3841
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
3842
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
3843

3846
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
3847
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3848
Major changes:
3849
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
3850
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
3851
    Example:
3852
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
3853
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
3854
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
3855
 
3856
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
3857
    been determined.
3858
 
3859
Minor changes:
3860
  * Added the ScanList directive.
3861
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
3862
    located at build-time.
3863
 
3864
  * Unix based systems
3865
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
3866
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
3867
 
3868
  * MakeLinuxDriver
3869
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
3870
    driver being built.
3871
 
3872
 
3873
------------------------------------------------------------------------

3880
  * jats_rewrite tool
3881
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
3882
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
3883
 
3884
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
3885
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
3886
 
3887
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
3888
    dependancy information within a package.
3889
 
3890
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
3891
    messages.
3892

3898
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
3899
 
3900
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
3901
 
3902
    GenerateFiles.
3903
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
3904
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
3905
                      be run on every invocation.
3906
 
3907
 
3908
Minor changes:
3909
  * Added the jats version command
3910
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
3911
 
3912
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
3913
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
3914
  There are two mechanism:
3915
 
3916
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
3917
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
3918
 
3919
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
3920
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
3921
 
3922
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
3923
  default.
3924
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
3925
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
3926

3931
  * SunWorks Toolset
3932
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
3933
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
3934
    It is based on machine type.
3935
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
3936
 
3937
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
3938
 
3939

3952
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
3953
    Removed the use of `uname`.
3954
 
3955

3960
Minor changes:
3961
  * descpkg file reader
3962
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
3963
    field separator.
3964
 
3965
  * JATS eprog command
3966
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
3967
 
3968
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
3969
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
3970
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
3971
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
3972
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
3973
 
3974
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
3975
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
3976
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
3977
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
3978
 
3979
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
3980
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

3991
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
3992
 
3993
 
3994
Minor changes:
3995
  * JATS wrapper script
3996
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
3997
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
3998
    to setup links to system programs.

Major changes:
4019
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4020
    Added CompileOptions
4021
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4022
        no_misalign         - Default
4023
 
4024
        multithread         - Default
4025
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
4026
 
4027
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4028
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
4029
 
4030
        prod_no_optimise

        debug_debuginfo
4039
 
4040
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4041
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4042
    Theses are:
4043
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4044
        SOLARIS_AMD
4045
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4046
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4047
 
4048
Minor changes:
4049
  * AT3232 toolset
4050
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

Major changes:
4060
 
4061
Minor changes:
4062
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4063
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4064
    messages
4065
 
4066
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4067
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4068
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4069
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4070

4074
Major changes:
4075
 
4076
Minor changes:
4077
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4078
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4079
    library without creating the body of the library:
4080
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4081
 
4082
 
4083
  * MOS toolsets
4084
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4085
    library without creating the body of the library:
4086
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4087
 
4088
  * JATS BIN directories
4089
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4090
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4091
    using autoconf.
4092
 
4093
  * Generate directive
4094
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4095
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4096
 
4097
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4098

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4101
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4102
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4103
Major changes:
4104
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4105
    Initial release.
4106
 
4107
Minor changes:

4110
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4111
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4112
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4113
Major changes:
4114
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4115
    Initial release.
4116
 
4117
  * Packaging directives
4118
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4119
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4120
 
4121
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4122
        SOLARIS
4123
        WIN32
4124
 
4125
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4126
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4127
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4128
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4129
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4130
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4131
 
4132
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4133
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4134
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4135
 
4136
 
4137
Minor changes:
4138
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4139
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4140
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4141
 
4142
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4143
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4144
    location
4145
 
4146
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4147
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4148
 
4149
  * Utility genrc
4150
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4151
 
4152
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4153
    Added option: -new
4154
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4155
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4156
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4157
 
4158
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4159
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4160
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4161
 
4162
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4163
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4164
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4165
 
4166
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4167
   features - in a uniform manner.
4168
 
4169
 
4170
Internal Changes:
4171
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4172
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4173
 
4174
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4175
        1) Platform information available at build time
4176
        2) Dynamic platform names
4177
 
4178
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4179
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4180
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4181
 
4182
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4183
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4184
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4185
 
4186
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4187
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4188
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4189
    needed.
4190
 
4191
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4192
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4193
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4194
    files from all of these.
4195

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4197
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4199
Major changes:
4200
 
4201
Minor changes:
4202
  * WinCE toolset
4203
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4204
 
4205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4206
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4208
Major changes:
4209
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4210
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4211
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4212
 
4213
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4214
 
4215
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4216
    the operations.
4217
 
4218
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4219
 
4220
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4221
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4222
 
4223
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4224
 
4225
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4226
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4227
 
4228
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4229
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4230
    Extended the built-in help
4231
    Added useful error messages
4232
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4233
 
4234
  * WinCE toolset
4235
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4236
 
4237
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4238
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4239
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4240
 
4241
Minor changes:
4242
  * JATS wrapper script
4243
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4244
    the command line.
4245
 
4246
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4247
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4248
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4249
 
4250
Internal Changes:
4251
  * Common Error Reporting
4252
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4253
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4254
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4255
    level.
4256
 
4257
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4258
    displayed.
4259
 
4260
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4261
 
4262
  * Added JatsSystem module
4263
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4265
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

4267
Major changes:
4268
 
4269
Minor changes:
4270
  * BR Compiler toolset
4271
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4272
    .def files to include other files.
4273
 
4274
  * IAR toolset
4275
    Added AT7272 support
4276
 
4277
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4278
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4279
 
4280
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4281
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4282
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4283
Major changes:
4284
 
4285
Minor changes:
4286
  * BR Compiler toolset
4287
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4288
    use.
4289
 
4290
 
4291
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4292
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4293
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4294
Major changes:
4295
 
4296
Minor changes:
4297
  * Mictotec toolset
4298
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4299
    builds.
4300
 
4301
  * JATS Core
4302
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4303
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4304
    behaviour.
4305
 
4306
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4307
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4308
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4309
Major changes:
4310
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4311
    Deployment package will be affected.
4312
 
4313
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4314
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4315
 
4316
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4317
 
4318
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4319
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4320
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4321
    packages.
4322
 
4323
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4324
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4325
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4326
 
4327
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4328
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4329
 
4330
Minor changes:
4331
  * SubDir directive
4332
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4333
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4334
 
4335
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4336
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4337
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4338
    of the file usage.
4339
 
4340
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4341
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4342
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4343
 
4344
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4345
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4346
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4347
 
4348
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4349
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4350
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4351
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4352
 
4353
 
4354
Internal Changes:
4355
  * Code refactor
4356
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4357
 
4358
  * Deployment utilities
4359
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4360
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4361
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4362
    the module can locate the file.
4363
 
4364
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4365
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4366
 
4367
  * JATS core
4368
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4369
 
4370
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4371
 
4372
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4373
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4374
    through the use of environment variables.
4375
 
4376
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4377
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4378
 
4379
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4380
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4381
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4382
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4383
 
4384
  * Make environment
4385
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4386
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4387

Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4392
Major changes:
4393
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4394
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4395
 
4396
 
4397
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4398
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4399
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4400
 
4401
Not Released.
4402
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4403
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4404
 
4405
 
4406
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4407
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4409
Major changes:
4410
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4411
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4412
    radically replaced.
4413
 
4414
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4415
    Usage:
4416
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4417
 
4418
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4419
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4420
    this solution:
4421
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4422
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4423
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4424
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4425
 
4426
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4427
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4428
    order to work.
4429
 
4430
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4431
    reduced functionality.
4432
 
4433
 
4434
Minor changes:
4435
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4436
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4437
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4438
 
4439
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4440
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4441
    within the makefiles.
4442
        Options:
4443
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4444
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4445
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4446
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4447
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4448
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4449
        Useage:
4450
 
4451
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4452
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4453
 
4454
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4455
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4456
    is not in the current directory.
4457
 
4458
  * Jats Command: ant'
4459
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4460
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4461
 
4462
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4463
 
4464
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4465
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4466
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4467
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4468
 
4469
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4470
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4471
    Thus
4472
 
4473
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4474
 
4475
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4476
 
4477
 
4478
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4479
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4480
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4481
Major changes:
4482
 
4483
Minor changes:
4484
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4485
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4486
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4487
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4488
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4489
 
4490
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4491
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4492
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4493
 
4494
Internal changes:
4495
  * JATS toolsets
4496
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4497
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4498
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4499
 
4500
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4501
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4502
 
4503
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4504
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4505
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4506
Major changes:
4507
  * Jats command: etool
4508
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4509
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4510
 
4511
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4512
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4513
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4514
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4515
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4516
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4517
 
4518
Minor changes:
4519
 
4520
 
4521
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4522
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4523
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4524
Major changes:
4525
  * JATS environment variables
4526
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4527
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4528
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4529
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4530
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4531
 
4532
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4533
              Remote repository
4534
 
4535
    Added GBE_DPLY
4536
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4537
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4538
 
4539
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4540
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4541
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4542
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4543
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4544
 
4545
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4546
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4547
 
4548
 
4549
Minor changes:
4550
  * JATS utility: build
4551
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4552
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4553
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4554
 
4555
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4556
    Ensure label is not locked
4557
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4558
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4559
 
4560
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4561
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4562
    to a specific type of build.
4563
 
4564
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
4565
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
4566
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
4567
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
4568
 
4569
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
4570
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
4571
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
4572
 
4573
  * JATS utility: release
4574
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
4575
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
4576
 
4577
  * JATS utility: label
4578
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
4579
    when it is being created.
4580
 
4581
Internal Changes
4582
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
4583
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
4584
 
4585
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
4586
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
4587
 
4588
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
4589
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
4590
    different results.
4591
 
4592
  * ToolsetRequire directive
4593
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
4594
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
4595
 
4596
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4597
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
4598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4599
Major changes:
4600
 
4601
  * MCR toolset
4602
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
4603
 
4604
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4605
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
4606
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4607
Major changes:
4608
  * WIN32 utilities
4609
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
4610
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
4611
 
4612
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
4613
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
4614
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
4615
 
4616
Minor changes:
4617
  * BuildVersion
4618
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
4619
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
4620
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
4621
 
4622
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
4623
 
4624
  * Unix Builds
4625
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
4626
    library or a shared library.
4627
 
4628
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
4629
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
4630
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
4631
    start with 'lib'.
4632
 
4633
  * BuildPkgArchive
4634
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
4635
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
4636
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
4637
 
4638
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4639
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
4640
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4641
Major changes:
4642
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4643
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
4644
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
4645
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
4646
    being manually maintained.
4647
 
4648
 
4649
Minor changes:
4650
  * MakeAnt directive
4651
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
4652
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
4653
    supports ANT builds.
4654
 
4655
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4656
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
4657
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
4658
 
4659
  * Label utility
4660
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
4661
    files to be labeled.
4662
 
4663
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
4664
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
4665
    on Solaris.
4666
 
4667
  * Generated makefiles
4668
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
4669
    nothing.
4670
 
4671
  * MOS Toolset
4672
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
4673
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
4674
    modules.
4675
 
4676
  * Utility: gen_cots
4677
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
4678
    and then check it in under clearcase.
4679
 
4680
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
4681
 
4682
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
4683
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
4684
 
4685
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4686
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
4687
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4688
Major changes:
4689
  None
4690
 
4691
Minor changes:
4692
  * DEVI addressed
4693
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
4694
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
4695
 
4696
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
4697
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
4698
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
4699
 
4700
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
4701
 
4702
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
4703
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
4704
 
4705
  * RunTest directive
4706
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
4707
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
4708
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
4709
 
4710
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
4711
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
4712
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
4713
    packaged under JATS
4714
 
4715
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
4716
          supported within JATS.
4717
 
4718
  * Jats utility wrapper
4719
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
4720
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
4721
 
4722
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
4723
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
4724
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
4725
 
4726
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
4727
    Eg: jats ant
4728
 
4729
  * Jats utility wrapper
4730
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
4731
 
4732
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
4733
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
4734
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
4735
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
4736
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
4737
 
4738
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
4739
    expect a build.pl file.
4740
 
4741
  * Jats utility wrapper
4742
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
4743
 
4744
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
4745
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
4746
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
4747
 
4748
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
4749
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
4750
 
4751
  * Build files
4752
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
4753
    ERG extensions.
4754
 
4755
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4756
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
4757
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4758
Major changes:
4759
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
4760
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
4761
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
4762
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
4763
 
4764
    This may cause module validation to fail.
4765
 
4766
Minor changes:
4767
  * None
4768
 
4769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4770
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
4771
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4772
Major changes:
4773
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
4774
    Added option --Uses=NAME
4775
    ie:
4776
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
4777
 
4778
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
4779
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
4780
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
4781
    environments are compatible.
4782
 
4783
 
4784
Minor changes:
4785
  * BuildName option
4786
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
4787
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
4788
 
4789
  * jats.bat
4790
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
4791
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
4792
 
4793

Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
4795
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4796
Major changes:
4797
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4798
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
4799
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
4800
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
4801
 
4802
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
4803
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
4804
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
4805
 
4806
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
4807
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
4808
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
4809
 
4810
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
4811
    transferred.
4812
 
4813
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
4814
    See notes below.
4815
 
4816
  * WIN32 toolset
4817
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
4818
    correctly.
4819
 
4820
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
4821
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
4822
 
4823
  * BuildVersion
4824
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
4825
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
4826
    other langauges as needed.
4827
 
4828
 
4829
Minor changes:
4830
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
4831
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
4832
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
4833
    version strings.
4834
 
4835
  * GenerateFiles directive
4836
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
4837
    package or an imported package.
4838
 
4839
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
4840
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
4841
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
4842
 
4843
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
4844
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
4845
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
4846
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
4847
    makefiles and strange error messages.
4848
 
4849
Internal Changes
4850
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
4851
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
4852
    of utilities.
4853
 
4854
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
4855
    functions.
4856
 
4857
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4858
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
4859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4860
Major changes:
4861
  * Generated makefiles
4862
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
4863
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
4864
    that sed did not process its arguments.
4865
 
4866
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
4867
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
4868
    incorrectly processing:
4869
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
4870
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
4871
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
4872
    confused.
4873
 
4874
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
4875
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
4876
    The construct
4877
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
4878
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
4879
    then it works.
4880
 
4881
  * MakeAnt directive
4882
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
4883
 
4884
    This option has the following effects
4885
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
4886
           can be used installed and manipulated.
4887
 
4888
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
4889
           early - in the generated files phase.
4890
 
4891
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
4892
    component needs to generate a header file early.
4893
 
4894
 
4895
Minor changes:
4896
  * JATS post-installation script
4897
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
4898
 
4899
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
4900
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
4901
    windows.
4902
 
4903
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
4904
    Handle all variants of BuildName
4905
 
4906
  * Jats wrapper script
4907
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
4908
        1) Contain spaces
4909
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
4910
 
4911
  * Toolset
4912
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
4913
 
4914
  * JAVA toolset
4915
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
4916
    directive:
4917
 
4918
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
4919
 
4920
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
4921
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
4922
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
4923
 
4924
  * GCC Toolset
4925
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
4926
 
4927
  * Makefile generation
4928
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
4929
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
4930
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
4931
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
4932
    package could not be used.
4933
 
4934
  * Unit Tests
4935
    The following environment variables are set:
4936
 
4937
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
4938
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
4939
 
4940
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
4941
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
4942
 
4943
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
4944
 
4945
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4946
 
4947
 
4948
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4949
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
4950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4951
Major changes:
4952
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
4953
 
4954
    Special features of this toolset.
4955
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
4956
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
4957
       incorporated within the target image.
4958
 
4959
    2) Prog directive extensions:
4960
       --Set=Name=Value
4961
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
4962
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
4963
 
4964
       --Ref=name
4965
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
4966
                to provide information that will be placed within the
4967
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
4968
                will be taken from the build version number.
4969
 
4970
Minor changes:
4971
  * MOS Toolset
4972
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
4973
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
4974
    packaged.
4975
 
4976
  * Src directive
4977
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
4978
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
4979
    specifier.
4980
 
4981
  * WIN32 runtime support
4982
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
4983
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
4984
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
4985
 
4986
Internal:
4987
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
4988
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
4989
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
4990
 
4991

4992
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
4993
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4994
Major changes:
4995
    * BuildAlias directive
4996
      Added options.
4997
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
4998
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
4999
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5000
                          targets.
5001
      Eg:
5002
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5003
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5004
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5005
 
5006
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5007
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5008
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5009
 
5010
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5011
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5012
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5013
 
5014
 
5015
Minor changes:
5016
  * Label utility
5017
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5018
    build.pl file
5019
 
5020
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5021
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5022
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5023
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5024
    --FilterIn option.
5025
 
5026
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5027
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5028
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5029
 
5030
  * Location of descpkg file
5031
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5032
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5033
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5034
 
5035
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5036
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5037
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5038
Major changes:
5039
  * RunTest directive
5040
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5041
    Additional options
5042
      --CopyIn=file
5043
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5044
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5045
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5046
        the test area.
5047
 
5048
    Additional operations
5049
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5050
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5051
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5052
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5053
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5054
    Allows flags:
5055
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5056
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5057
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5058
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5059
 
5060
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5061
    existence is tested.
5062
 
5063
  * Packaging Directives
5064
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5065
    such as LMOS.
5066
 
5067
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5068
 
5069
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5070
 
5071
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5072
 
5073
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5074
 
5075
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5076
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5077
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5078
 
5079
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5080
 
5081
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5082
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5083
 
5084
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5085
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5086
 
5087
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5088
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5089
 
5090
Minor changes:
5091
  * Script directive
5092
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5093
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5094
 
5095
  * JATS environment
5096
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5097
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5098
    the JATS wrapper script.
5099
 
5100
  * Label utility
5101
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5102
    There are three modes of operation:
5103
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5104
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5105
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5106
 
5107
 
5108
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5109
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5110
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5111
Major changes:
5112
 
5113
Minor changes:
5114
  * label utility
5115
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5116
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5117
 
5118
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5119
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5120
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5121
      --ProgLoader=name
5122
 
5123
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5124
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5125
    Options to do this are:
5126
        --TreeDir=name
5127
        --FilterOut=regexp
5128
        --FilterIn=regexp
5129
        --StripDir
5130
 
5131
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5132
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5133
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5134
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5135
 
5136
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5137
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5138
 
5139
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5140
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5141
 
5142
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5143
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5144
 
5145
 
5146
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5147
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5148
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5149
Major changes:
5150
    * Make commands
5151
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5152
 
5153
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5154
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5155
 
5156
    * Label utility
5157
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5158
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5159
 
5160
Minor changes:
5161
    * Toolsets
5162
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5163
      variables and overrides.
5164
 
5165
      The make_init target is always run.
5166
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5167
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5168
 
5169
    * Deployment
5170
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5171
      with deployment operations.
5172
 
5173
    * Release utility
5174
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5175
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5176
      restricted by options within the build.
5177
 
5178
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5179
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5180
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5181
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5182
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5183
 
5184
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5185
      directives.
5186
 
5187
    * MakeProject directive
5188
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5189
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5190
 
5191
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5192
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5193
      is preserved.
5194
 
5195
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5196
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5197
      statements.
5198
 
5199
    * Mugfile generation
5200
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5201
      be placed in the target package.
5202

Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5206
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5207
Major changes:
5208
    * BuildVersion directive
5209
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5210
      number as well as a patch number.
5211
 
5212
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5213
      number.
5214
 
5215
Minor changes:
5216
    * AddFlags directives
5217
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5218
      duplicate flags being added.
5219
 
5220
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5221
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5222
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5223
 
5224
    * Mug File Generation
5225
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5226
 
5227
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5228
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5229
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5230
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5231
     directory.
5232
 
5233
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5234
     reproducible.
5235
 
5236
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5237
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5239
Major changes:
5240
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5241
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5242
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5243
      longer a list of directories.
5244
 
5245
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5246
      done within the toolset.
5247
 
5248
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5249
 
5250
    * JATS environment variables
5251
      Redefined variable
5252
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5253
                          Previously was a list that included the
5254
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5255
 
5256
      New variable
5257
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5258
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5259
 
5260
 
5261
Minor changes:
5262
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5263
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5264
      target platforms to be extracted.
5265
 
5266
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5267
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5268
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5269
 
5270
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5271
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5272
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5273
 
5274
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5275
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5276
 
5277
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5278
      Support ANT based XML files
5279
 
5280
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5281
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5282
      structure.
5283
 
5284
    * makefile.pl's
5285
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5286
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5287
 
5288
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5289
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5290
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5291
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5292
 
5293
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5294
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5295
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5296
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5297
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5298
      -- Auto.
5299
 
5300
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5301
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5302
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5303
 
5304
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5305
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5306
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5307
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5308
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5309
 
5310
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5311
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5312
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5313
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5314
      installed on the machine.
5315
 
5316
    * WINCE Targets
5317
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5318
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5319
 
5320
 
5321
 
5322
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5323
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5324
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5325
Major changes:
5326
    * WIN32 platforms
5327
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5328
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5329
      and installed packages.
5330
 
5331
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5332
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5333
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5334
 
5335
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5336
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5337
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5338
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5339
      searched when looking for libraries.
5340
 
5341
Minor changes:
5342
    * GenerateFiles directive
5343
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5344
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5345
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5346
                          and drive letter
5347
 
5348
    * Src directive
5349
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5350
      directory of a package.
5351
 
5352
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5353
 
5354
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5355
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5356
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5357
 
5358
    * jats_rewrite utility
5359
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5360
 
5361
 
5362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5363
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5364
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5365
Major changes:
5366
    * SunWorks production builds
5367
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5368
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5369
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5370
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5371
      compiler documentation.
5372
 
5373
    * MOS Toolset
5374
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5375
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5376
 
5377
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5378
 
5379
Minor changes:
5380
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5381
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5382
      This should not affect current users.
5383
 
5384
    * Mugfile generation
5385
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5386
      specified.
5387
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5388
 
5389
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5390
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5392
Major changes:
5393
    MOS Toolset
5394
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5395
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5396
 
5397
Minor changes:
5398
    * Jats wrapper script
5399
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5400
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5401
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5402
 
5403
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5404
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5405
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5406
      may be suspect.
5407
 
5408
    * GenerateFiles directive
5409
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5410
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5411
 
5412
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5413
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5414
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5415
Major changes:
5416
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5417
      build.xml files.
5418
 
5419
Minor changes:
5420
    * WIN32 toolset.
5421
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5422
 
5423
    * MakeAnt
5424
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5425
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5426
 
5427
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5428
 
5429
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5430
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5431
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5432
 
5433
    * MakeAnt directive
5434
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5435
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5436
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5437
 
5438
      Recommended usage:
5439
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5440
 
5441
Internal Changes
5442
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5443

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5447
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5448
Major changes:
5449
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5450
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5451
      files packaged into the release.
5452
 
5453
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
5454

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5457
 
5458
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5459
      The recommended platform is:
5460
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5461
 
5462
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5463
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5464
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5465
      components.
5466
 
5467
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
5468

5471
 
5472
Minor changes:
5473
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5474
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5475
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5476
      by the package to be accessed.
5477
 
5478
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5479
      application or visual studio.
5480
 
5481
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5482
      and the JATS Core path.
5483
 
5484
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5485
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5486
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5487
 
5488
    * MOS Toolset
5489
      Add support for the TPT device
5490
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5491
 
5492
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5493
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5494
 
5495
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5496
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5497
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5498
 
5499
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5500
 
5501
Internal Changes
5502
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5503
      in jats.pl
5504
 
5505
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5506
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5507
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5508
Major changes:
5509
    * JATS wrapper script
5510
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5511
 
5512
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5513
 
5514
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5515
 
5516
Minor changes:
5517
    * Deployment support
5518
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5519
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5520
 
5521
    * 'build'
5522
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5523
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5524
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5525
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5526
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5527
 
5528
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5529
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5530
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5531
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5532
                                      the link phase.
5533
 
5534
    * BuildPkgArchive
5535
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5536
      Previously these were ignored.
5537
      Minor code cleanup
5538
 
5539
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5540
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5541
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5542
 
5543
    * SOLARIS targets
5544
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5545
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5546
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5547
 
5548
    * MugFile generation
5549
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5550
      included in the final package.
5551
 
5552
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5553
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5554
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5555
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5556
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5557
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5558
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5559
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5560
 
5561
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5562
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5563
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5564
            --Option=(some_text)
5565
            --Option=[some_text]
5566
            --Option={some_text}
5567
 
5568
Internal Changes
5569
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5570
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5571
      code.
5572
 
5573

5574
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
5575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5576
Major changes:
5577
    * JATS wrapper script
5578
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
5579
 
5580
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
5581
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
5582
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
5583
      other components.
5584
 
5585
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
5586
 
5587
    * JATS
5588
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
5589
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
5590
 
5591
    * Build operations
5592
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
5593
      if required packages are built against different versions of
5594
      packages.
5595
 
5596
    * Make operations
5597
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
5598
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
5599
 
5600
Minor changes:
5601
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
5602
      deployment builds.
5603
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
5604
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
5605
 
5606
      Extended the "jats vars" display
5607
 
5608
    * build.pl
5609
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
5610
        processed. Allows
5611
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
5612
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
5613
        production.
5614
 
5615
    * MOS toolset
5616
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
5617
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
5618
 
5619
    * create_dpkg utility
5620
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
5621
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
5622
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
5623
      progress of the build.
5624
 
5625
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
5626
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
5627
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
5628
      system.
5629

5632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5633
Major changes:
5634
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5635
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
5636
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
5637
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
5638
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
5639
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
5640
 
5641
    * WCEX86A500 target
5642
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
5643
 
5644
    * MOS Toolsets
5645
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
5646
      the compiler.
5647
 
5648
    * RunTest directive
5649
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
5650
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
5651
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
5652
 
5653
Minor changes:
5654
    * JATS BUILD
5655
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
5656
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
5657
      highlight bad settings.
5658
 
5659
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
5660
      access to extensions.
5661
 
5662

5666
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5667
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
5668
 
5669
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
5670
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
5671
      under unix.
5672
 
5673
Minor changes:
5674
    * label utility
5675
      Added options to:
5676
        o Delete a label
5677
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
5678
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
5679
 
5680
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5681
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
5682
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
5683
      Package directives.
5684
 
5685
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
5686
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
5687
      system.
5688
 
5689
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5690
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
5691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5692
Major changes:
5693
    * MOS Toolset
5694
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
5695
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
5696
 
5697
    * WIN32 Toolset
5698
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
5699
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
5700
      list.
5701
 
5702
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
5703
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
5704
 
5705
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
5706
 
5707
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
5708
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
5709
 
5710
 
5711
Minor changes:
5712
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
5713
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
5714
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
5715
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
5716
      corrected.
5717
 
5718
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
5719
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
5720
 
5721
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
5722
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
5723
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
5724

5727
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5728
Major changes:
5729
    * WIN32 Toolset
5730
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
5731
      use with multithreaded modes.
5732
 
5733
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
5734
      --OnlyProd.
5735
 
5736
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
5737
      within the makefile.pl.
5738
 
5739
Minor changes:
5740
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
5741
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
5742
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
5743
      platforms.
5744
 
5745
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
5746
 
5747
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5748
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
5749
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5750
Major changes:
5751
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
5752
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
5753
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
5754
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
5755
 
5756
    * Preliminary Support
5757
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
5758
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
5759
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
5760
 
5761
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
5762
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
5763
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
5764
 
5765
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
5766
      building. The default build will build both.
5767
 
5768
Minor changes:
5769
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
5770
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
5771
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
5772
 
5773
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
5774
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
5775
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
5776
 
5777

Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
5780
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5781
Major changes:
5782
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
5783
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
5784
      or all.
5785
 
5786
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
5787
      the library or program.
5788
 
5789
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
5790
 
5791
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
5792
      library or any debug files.
5793
 
5794
    * GenerateFiles
5795
      All processed arguments now support two options.
5796
 
5797
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
5798
              directory in which the prereq file is found
5799
 
5800
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
5801
              The filename of the prereq file
5802
 
5803
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
5804
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
5805
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
5806
 
5807
 
5808
Minor changes:
5809
    * create_dpkg utility
5810
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
5811
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
5812
      the package has been altered.
5813

5817
Major changes:
5818
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420

      This is a WINCE target
5820
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
5821
 
5822
    * New toolset
5823
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
5824
 
5825
    * Modified toolset
5826
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
5827
 
5828
    * Modified toolset
5829
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
5830
 
5831
Minor changes:
5832
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
5833
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
5834
 
5835
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
5836
 
5837
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
5838
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
5839
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
5840
 
5841
      The change allows the construct
5842
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
5843
      to be replaced by the simpler
5844
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
5845
 
5846
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
5847
      specified name.    
5848

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5868
Major changes:
5869
    * The "package.pl" file.
5870
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
5871
      package name being taken from the build name
5872
 
5873
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
5874
      package Build Name.
5875
 
5876
Minor changes:
5877
    * create_dpkg utility
5878
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists

5886
    * Dependancy generator
5887
      Correct two common situations
5888
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
5889
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
5890
           ansi, but is often done.
5891
 
5892
    * GCC toolset
5893
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
5894
      being created in the correct place.
5895
 
5896
    * jats "label"
5897
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
5898
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
5899
 
5900

Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
5903
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5904
Major changes:
5905
 
5906
Minor changes:
5907
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
5908
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
5909
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
5910
 
5911
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
5912
      pkg directory will be transferred.
5913
 
5914
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
5915
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
5916
      package was not being transferred.

5921
Major changes:
5922
    * Support for solaris_i386
5923
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
5924
      binaries for this target.
5925
 
5926
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
5927
      with the GCC compiler.
5928
 
5929
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
5930
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
5931
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
5932
 
5933
Minor changes:
5934
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5935
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
5936
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5937
 
5938
    * cbuild ( release) utility
5939
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
5940
 
5941
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5942
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
5943
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5944
Major changes:
5945
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5946
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
5947
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5948
 
5949
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
5950
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
5951
 
5952
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
5953
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
5954
      with either " or ' characters.
5955
 
5956
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
5957
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
5958
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
5959
 
5960
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
5961
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
5962
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
5963
 
5964
    * Jats wrapper
5965
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
5966
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
5967
      further commands.
5968
 
5969
Minor changes:
5970
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
5971
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
5972
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
5973
      name of the .dep file and its content.
5974
 
5975
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5976
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
5977
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5978
Major changes:
5979
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
5980
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
5981
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
5982
 
5983
      These options operation affect all components within the
5984
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
5985
      then they will affect all components within the build.
5986
 
5987
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
5988
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.

Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
5994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5995
Major changes:
5996
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
5997
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
5998
 
5999
Minor changes:
6000
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6001
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6002
 
6003
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6004
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6005
 
6006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6007
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6009
Major changes:
6010
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6011
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6012
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6013
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6014
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6015
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6016
      installed.
6017
 
6018
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6019
      libraries that depend on each other.
6020
 
6021
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6022
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6023
 
6024
Minor changes:
6025
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6026
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6027
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6028
 
6029
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6030
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6031
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6032
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6033
 
6034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6035
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6036
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6037
Major changes:
6038
 
6039
Minor changes:
6040
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6041
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6042
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6043
      file.
6044
 
6045
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6046
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6047
 
6048
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6049
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6050
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6051
 
6052
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6053
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6054
 
6055
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6056
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6057
 
6058
    * WinCE toolsets
6059
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6060
      compiler specific libraries.
6061
 
6062
    * SOLARIS toolset
6063
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6064
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6065
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6066
 
6067
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6068
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6069
      cleaned up.
6070
 
6071
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6072
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6073
 
6074
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6075
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6076
      with either " or ' characters.
6077
 
6078
 
6079
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6080
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6081
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6082
Major changes:
6083
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6084
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6085
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6086
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6087
 
6088
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6089
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6090
 
6091
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6092
      user.
6093
 
6094
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6095
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6096
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6097
 
6098
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6099
      for the   -Gf option.
6100
 
6101
Minor changes:
6102
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6103
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6104
 
6105
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6106
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6107
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6108
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6109
 
6110
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6111
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6112
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6113
Major changes:
6114
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6115
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6116
 
6117
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6118
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6119
      data addresses for the board.
6120
 
6121
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6122
 
6123
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6124
 
6125
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6126
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6127
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6128
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6129
         PackageFile
6130
 
6131
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6132
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6133
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6134
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6135
 
6136
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6137
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6138
      to be installed and packaged.
6139
 
6140
Minor changes:
6141
 
6142
    * cache_dpkg utility
6143
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6144
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6145
 
6146
    * label utility
6147
      New option -auto to create and label
6148
 
6149
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6150
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6151
 
6152
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6153
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6154
      directory. ie:
6155
 
6156
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6157
 
6158
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6159
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6160
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6161
 
6162
 
6163
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6164
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6165
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6166
Major changes:
6167
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6168
 
6169
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6170
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6171
 
6172
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6173
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6174
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6175
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6176
 
6177
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6178
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6179
      compilation.
6180
 
6181
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6182
 
6183
Minor changes:
6184
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6185
      one is being produced.
6186
 
6187
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6188
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6189
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6190
 
6191
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6192
 
6193
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6194
 
6195
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6196
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6197
 
6198
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6199
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6200
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6201
Major changes:
6202
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6203
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6204
 
6205
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6206
 
6207
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6208
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6209
      same directory
6210
 
6211
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6212
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6213
      documenattion.
6214
 
6215
Minor changes:
6216
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6217
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6218
 
6219
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6220
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6221
 
6222
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6223
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6224
 
6225
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6226
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6227
 
6228
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6229
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6230
      be exempt from this test.
6231
 
6232
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6233
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6234
 
6235
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6236
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6237
 
6238
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6239
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6240
      does.
6241
 
6242
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6243
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6244
 
6245
 
6246
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6247
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6248
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6249
Major changes:
6250
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6251
 
6252
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6253
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6254
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6255
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6256
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6257
 
6258
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6259
      operations.
6260
 
6261
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6262
 
6263
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6264
 
6265
Minor changes
6266
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6267
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6268
 
6269
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6270
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6271
      directory is not added to the library path.
6272
 
6273
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6274
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6275
 
6276
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6277
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6278
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6279
 
6280
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6281
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6282
      specific flags.
6283
 
6284
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6285
 
6286
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6287
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6288
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6289
 
6290
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6291
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6292
      JATS.
6293
 
6294
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6295
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6296
 
6297
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6298
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6299
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6300
 
6301
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6302
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6303
 
6304
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6305
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6306
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6307
 
6308
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6309
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6310
 
6311
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6312
 
6313
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6314
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6315
 
6316
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6317
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6318
      objects.
6319
 
6320
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6321
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6322
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6323
      build defendants.
