Version:  3.1.0000.cr                               Released: 08-Nov-12
2074 dpurdie 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4
Major changes:
5
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
6
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
7
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
8
      these operations with a dedicated program.
9
 
2312 dpurdie 10
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2424 dpurdie 11
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2074 dpurdie 12
      windows path scheme.
13
 
14
Minor changes:
2426 dpurdie 15
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
16
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
17
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
18
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
19
 
20
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
21
        jats make clobber
22
      This operates as before.
23
 
24
    * Utility: escrow
25
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
26
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
27
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
28
 
2074 dpurdie 29
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
30
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
31
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
32
 
2424 dpurdie 33
    * Utility: svn : url
34
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
35
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
36
 
37
    * Utility: svn : import
38
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
39
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
40
 
2354 dpurdie 41
    * Subversion Support
2424 dpurdie 42
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
43
      showing the user what to do.
44
 
2354 dpurdie 45
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
46
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
47
      repositories.
48

2312 dpurdie 50
Version:  3.0.5000.cr                               Released: 05-Oct-12
51
------------------------------------------------------------------------
52
 
53
Minor changes:
54
    * Jats build
55
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
56
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
57
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
58
 
59
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
60
      command, with a sandbox.
61
 
62
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages
63

68
Minor changes:
69
    * Utility: svn
70
      Added two subcommands
71
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
72
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
73
                 Can also display available branches.
74
 
2053 dpurdie 75
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
76
      Added '-keepgoing' option to allow the user to ignore errors
2029 dpurdie 77
 
78
    * Utility: rtag_extract
79
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
80
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
81
 
82
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
83
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
84
      Modified two options:
85
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
86
                        The named branch must not exist
87
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
88
                        The named branch must exist
89
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
123
 
124
Major changes:
125
    * Jats Version Number
126
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
127
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
128
      significantly.
129
 
130
Minor changes:
131
    * Makefile Generation

------------------------------------------------------------------------
140
Major changes:
1380 dpurdie 141
    * Subversion support
142
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
143
      SubVersion. Changes include:

145
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
146
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1341 dpurdie 147
 
148
Minor changes:
1359 dpurdie 149
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
150
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
151
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
152
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
153
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
154
 
1341 dpurdie 155
    * Utility: svnsave_build
156
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
157
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
158
 
1348 dpurdie 159
    * Linux support utilities
160
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format

Version:  2.100.6000.cr                               Released: 30-Jul-12
166
------------------------------------------------------------------------
167
Major changes:
1328 dpurdie 168
    * Subversion Repository location
169
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
170
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
171
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
172
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
173
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1269 dpurdie 174
 
175
Minor changes:
1328 dpurdie 176
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
177
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
178
 
1269 dpurdie 179
    * Utility: svnrelease
180
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
181
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
182
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
183
 
1328 dpurdie 184
    * Utility: svnsave_build
185
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
186
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
187
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
188
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1269 dpurdie 189
 
190
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
191
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
192
 
1328 dpurdie 193
    * Utility: sandbox
194
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
195
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
196
 
197
      Subcommand: populate
198
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
199
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
200
      sandbox.
201
 
1269 dpurdie 202
    * Subversion Support
203
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
204
      repository is not supported.
205
 
206
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
207
      a progress indication.
208
 
209
    * Jats Online Documentation
210
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
211
      online documentation.
212
 
1328 dpurdie 213
    * Generated makefiles
214
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

260
Major changes:
261
 
262
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 263
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 264
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
265
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
266
 
267
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 268
      Specialized platform for the VIX 'ITP' product.

290
------------------------------------------------------------------------
291
Major changes:
292
 
293
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
294
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
295
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
296
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
297
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
298
 
299
    * C# Toolchain
300
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

307
      jats.bat example (Windows)
308
      jats.sh example (Unix)
309
      Redefined location of the Perth Subversion server AUPERASVN01
310
 
311
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
312
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
313
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
314
 
315
    * Utility ccrelease
316
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
317
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
318
 
319
    * Utility: svn
320
      Improved package import processing.
321
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
322
 
323
    * Jats Utility: gen_cots
324
      Added support for Subversion.
325
      Subversion is supported on Windows and Unix.
326
      ClearCase is supported on Windows.
327
 
328
    * Jats Utility: vcsdiff
329
      New Utility. Will diff two versions of a package. Supports
330
      mixed ClearCase and Subversion versions.

377 dpurdie 335
Version:  2.99.2000.cr                               Released: 3-Feb-12
336

341
      Updated Company Name, Copyright and Trademark strings to 'Vix IP Pty Ltd'
342
 
343
    * GCC Toolset
344

375 dpurdie 347
Version:  2.99.1000.cr                               Released: 13-Jan-12
348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
349
Major changes:
350
 
351
Minor changes:
352
    * Command: jats clobber
353
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
354
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
355
 
356
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
357
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
358
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
359
 
360
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
361
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
362
 
377 dpurdie 363
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
364
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
365
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 366
 
367
    * jats svnlabel
368
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
369
 
370
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
371
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
372
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
373
 
374
    * Built Daemon support
375
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
376
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
377
 
378

373 dpurdie 379
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
380
------------------------------------------------------------------------
381
Major changes:
382
    * GCC Toolset
383
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
384
      New methodology is:
385
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
386
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
387
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
388
        as the main binary.
389
 
390
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
391
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
392
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the

528
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
529
 
530
    * jats build -noforce
531
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
532
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
533
      be forced.
534
 
535
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
536
 
537
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
538
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
539
 
540
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
541
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
542
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
543
 
544
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
545
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
546
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
547
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.

551
      provide a cleaner workspace name.

554
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.

557
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
558
      installed and can be used.
559
 
560
    * Toolset: CSharp
561
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
562
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
563
      character.
564
 
565
    * Toolset: SunWorks
566
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
567
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
568
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
569
      masking an error.
570
 
571
    * Toolset: Delphi7
572
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
573
      enhancement.

580
        - Return correct path to package
581
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
582
 
583
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
584
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
585
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
586
 
587
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
588
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
589
      packages.

591
    * make command: show
592
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
593
      'jats make show' command.
594
 
595
    * Utility: create_dpkg
596
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
597
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
598
 
599
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
600
      executed on Unix machines.

812
    * MergeLibrary directive
813
      New sub-option --InterfacePlain
814
      This will allow the use of 3rd party libraries that do not have a P or D
815
      suffix in the library name.
816
 
817
    * GenerateFiles directive
818
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
819
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
820
 
821
    * BuildPlatform
822
      New option: --NoToolSet
823
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
824
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
825
 
826
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
827
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
828
      need toolset specific information.
829
 
830
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
831
 
832
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
833
 
834
Internal:
835
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
836
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
837
      processing into jats.pl
838
 
839
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
840
      a ClearCase site.

941
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
942
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
943
      resulting in multiple builds.
944
 
945
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
946
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
947
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
948
 
949
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
950
 
951
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
952
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
953
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

958
Major changes:
959
 
960
Minor changes:
961
    * Jats label command
962
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
963
      Not recommended for general use.
964
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
965
      directories within the current view.
966
 
967
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
968
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
969
      elsewhere.
970
 
971
    * Jats save_build
972
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
973
      the determination of a branch.
974
 
975
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
976
      up labeling by the build daemons.
977
 
978
    * Jats build
979
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
980
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
981
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
982
 
983
    * Borland6 toolset
984
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
985
      to match the documented install location of:
986
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
987
 
988
    * Jats build
989
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
990
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
991
      This is a very quick operation.
992
 
993
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
994
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
995
 
996
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
997
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
998
      files are only recreated if need be.
999
 
1000
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1001
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1002
      make the package.
1003
 
1004
    * Jats sandbox
1005
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1006
 
1007
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1008
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1009
 
1010
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1011
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1012
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1013
      is performed.
1014
 
1015
Internal:
1016
    * build.pl
1017
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1053
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1054
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1055
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1056
 
1057
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1058
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1059
 
1060
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1061
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1062
      platform builds.
1063
 
1064
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1065
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1066
      directory tree.
1067
 
1068

1081
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1082
Major changes:
1083
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1084
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1085
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1086
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1087
 
1088
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1089
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1090
 
1091
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1092
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1093
 
1094
      Examples:
1095
            jats upddep -show
1096
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1097
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1098
 
1099
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1100
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1101
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1102
 
1103
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1104
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1105
 
1106
Minor changes:
1107
 
1108
Internal changes:
1109
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

1114
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1115
Major changes:
1116
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1117
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1118
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1119
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1120
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1121
      stream.
1122
 
1123
      Example:
1124
 
1125
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1126
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1127
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1128
                     );
1129
Minor changes:
1130
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1131
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1132
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1133
      directive.
1134
 
1135
    * GCC Toolkit
1136
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1137
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1138
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1139
      the point of termination.
1140
 
1141
    * Jats save_build utility
1142
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1143
      under windows.
1144
 
1145
    * Jats sandbox
1146
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1147
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1148
      in different sandboxes.
1149
 
1150
    * Jats release
1151
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1152

      directory.
1163
 
1164
    * jats label utility
1165
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1166
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1167
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1168
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1169
 
1170
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1171

        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1181
        noExceptions            - Disable
1182
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1183
      Example:
1184
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1185
 
1186
    * Solaris targets
1187
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1188
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1189
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1190
      machine type.

1198
      project files.
1199
 
1200
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1201
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1202
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1203
 
1204
Minor changes:
1205
    * Added more internal documentation
1206
      Use jats help to see available documentation

1215
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1216
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1217
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1218
      libraries.
1219
 
1220
    * Solaris builds
1221
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1222
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1223
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1224
      of the build failure.
1225
 
1226
 
1227
Internal changes:
1228
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1229
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1230
 
1231
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1232
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
1236
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1237
Major changes:
1238
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1239
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1240
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1241
      existing 32-bit builds.
1242
 
1243
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1244
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1245
 
1246
Minor changes:
1247
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1248
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1249
 
1250
    * Package searching
1251
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1252
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1253
 
1254
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1255
 
1256
    * jats help
1257
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1258
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1259
 
1260
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1261
      with one of:
1262
        jats -h
1263
        jats help jats
1264
 
1265
Internal:
1266
    * cmdfile utility
1267
      Added macros:
1268
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1269
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1270
 
1271
      Corrected
1272
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1273
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1274
 
1275
      Extended
1276
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1277
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1278
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1279
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Version:  2.80.4000.cr                               Released: 17-Dec-09
1283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1284
Major changes:
1285
 
1286
Minor changes:
1287
 
1288
Internal changes
1289
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1290
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1291
      Useful side effects include:
1292
 
1293
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1294
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1295
 
1296
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1297
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1298
 
1299
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1300
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1301
        BuildPkgArchive
1302
 
313 dpurdie 1303
    * Perl Modules
1304
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1305
      release. This will:
1306
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1307
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1308
          reported by ERG.
1309
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1314
Major changes:
1315
 
1316
Minor changes:
1317
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1318
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1319
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1320
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1321
 
1322
    * Jats label utility
1323
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1324
 
1325
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1326
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1327
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1328
 
1329
    * Jats core
1330
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1331
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1332
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1341
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1342
      This is now fixed.
1343
 
309 dpurdie 1344
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1345
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1346
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1347
 
1348
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1349
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
1350

1356
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1357
    * Generating makefiles
1358
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1359
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1360
      an error.
1361
 
1362
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1363
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1364
 
1365
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1366
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 1367
      Refer the JATS Manual.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1372
Major changes:
1373
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1374
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1375
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1376
 
1377
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1378
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1379
 
1380
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1381
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1382
      Support includes
1383
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1384
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1385
 
1386
Minor changes:
1387
    * Build file processing
1388
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1389
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1390
 
1391
    * MOS builds
1392
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1393
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1394
 
1395
    * MOS builds
1396
      New 'known' product: PICP
1397
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1398
 
1399
    * GenerateFiles directive
1400
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1401
        under windows.
1402
 
1403
        .
1404
 
1405
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1406
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1407
 
1408
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1409
      to the output stream.
1410
 
1411
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1412
 
1413
    * Windows Shell
1414
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1415
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1416
 
1417
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1418
 
1419
    * H8S toolset
1420
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1421
 
1422
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1423
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1424
 
1425
Internal changes
1426
    * WinCe builds
1427
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1428
      content of the file.
1429
 
1430
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1431
 
1432
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1433
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1445
Major changes:
1446
 
1447
Minor changes:
1448
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1449
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1450
      Changes are transparent to users.
1451
 
1452
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1453
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1454
      this occurs.
1455
 
1456
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1457
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1458
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1459
      automated build framework.
1460
 
1461
    * jats sandbox command
1462
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1463
      'create' command.
1464
 
1465
    * jats command aliases. Added
1466
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1467
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
1468

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1472
Major changes:
1473
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1474
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1475
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1476
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1477
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1478
      will work as expected
1479
 
1480
Minor changes:
1481
    * VS2008 Toolset
1482
      Picking up incorrect config details
1483
      May result in a warning message.
1484
 
1485
    * gen_cots utility
1486
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1487
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1488
 
1489
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1490
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
1491
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1538
Major changes:
1539
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1540
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1541
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1542
 
1543
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1544
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1545
 
1546
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1547
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1548
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1549
           names cannot be changed.
1550
 
1551
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1552
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1553
 
1554
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1555
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1556
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1557
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1558
 
1559
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1560
      file.
1561
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1562
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1563
      MyPackage.dpk.
1564
 
1565
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1566
      file.
1567
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1568
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1569
      MyDll.dpr.
1570
 
1571
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1572
      file.
1573
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1574
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1575
      MyProg.dpr.
1576
 
1577
Minor changes:
1578
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1579
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1580
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1581
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1582
 
1583
    * BuildVersion directive
1584
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1585
      in a Delphi Unit.
1586
 
1587
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1588
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1589
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1590
      'know' the location of the files.
1591
 
1592
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
1593
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
1594
 
1595
Internal Changes:
1596
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
1597
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
1598
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
1599
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
1600
 
1601
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
1602
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
1603
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

1607
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1608
Major changes:
1609
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
1610
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
1611
      information for purely C++ builds.
1612
 
289 dpurdie 1613
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
1614
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 1615
 
289 dpurdie 1616
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order

1618
            Manager
287 dpurdie 1619
 
1620
Minor changes:
1621
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

1624
    * updatenodespec utility
1625
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
1626

1665
      used in the build.
1666
 
1667
    * Escrow command
1668
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
1669
 
1670
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
1671
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
1672
      build files against the Release Manager information.
1673
 
1674
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
1675
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

277 dpurdie 1679
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1680
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 1681
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 1682
 
279 dpurdie 1683
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
1684
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
1685
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 1686
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 1687
 
1688
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
1689
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
1690
 
1691
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
1692
 
1693
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
1694
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
1695
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
1696
 
1697
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
1698
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
1699
        processed.
1700
 
1701
      Removed the '-delete' option
1702
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
1703
 
277 dpurdie 1704
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 1705
    * Sandbox command
1706
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
1707
 
1708
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
1709
      target from consideration in the build set.
1710
 
1711
    * MCR Toolset
1712
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
1713
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
1714
 
1715
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
1716
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
1717
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
1718
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
1719
 
1720
    * Jats run_test command
1721
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
1722
      tests we run on a Window machine.
1723
 
1724
    * descpkg file
1725
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
1726
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
1727
 
1728
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
1729
     Now contains build trace information
1730
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
1731
 
1732
   * jats abt command simplified usage
1733
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
1734
     it contains 'jar' files.
1735
 
1736
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
1737
 
1738
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
1739
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
1740
 
1741
   * BuildVersion directive
1742
     Form:
1743
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
1744
     now works as expected.
1745
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
1746
 
1747
Internal Changes:
1748
 
1749
    * Error reporting mechanism
1750
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
1751
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
1752
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

1763
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
1764
    then starts.
1765
 
1766
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
1767
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
1768
 
1769
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
1770
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
1771
    non-platform option.
1772
 
279 dpurdie 1773
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

1937
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
1938
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
1939
 
1940
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
1941
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward

1952
      GenerateCab.
1953

2106
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2107
      Previously was being done at two places
2108
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2109
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but

          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
2111
 
2112
    * JATS make: Command line
2113
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2114

2123
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
2124
        + Consistent use of option parsing

2148
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
2149
 
2150
    * FileUtils package.
2151
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.

2171
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2172
 
2173
Minor changes:
2174
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2175
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

      The product must be installed in its default location.
2186
 
2187
      New platforms:
2188
        CSHARP2005
2189
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2190
         Support extends to allow:
2191
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2192
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2193
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2194
 
2195
        VS2005
2196
         Support extends to allow:
2197
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2198
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2199
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2200
 
2201
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2202
      through a version selector:
2203
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2204
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2205
 
2206
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2207
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2208
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2209
 
2210
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2211
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2212
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2213
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2214
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2215
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2216
          under VS2005.
2217
 
2218
Minor changes:
2219
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

2223
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2224
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2225
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2226
 
2227
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2228
 
2229
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2230
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2231
 
2232
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2233
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2234
      a minimal value of perl.
2235
 
2236
      Removed excessive require statements.
2237
 
2238
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2239
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2240
      Include JATS specific files for
2241
        1) Windows
2242
        2) Linux
2243
 
2244
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2245
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2246
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2247
      machines.
2248
 
2249
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2250
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC

2254
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2255
 
2256
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2257
      wrapper scripts.
2258
 
2259
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2260
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2261
      Spell check help and code.

2314
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2315
  * New toolset and platform
2316
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2317
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2318
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2319
    this platform.
2320
 
2321
Minor changes:
2322
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2323
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2324
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2325
    work.
2326
 
2327
  * Jats utility: release
2328
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2329
    published to dpkg_archive.
2330
 
249 dpurdie 2331
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2332
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2333
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2334
    supported for ANT builds.
2335
 
2336
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2337
        releasemanager.releasename
2338
        releasemanager.projectname
2339
 
2340
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2341
    tagged data item of the form
2342
 
2343
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2344
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2345
 
2346
  * Mug File Generation
2347
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2348
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2349
 
2350
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2351
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2352
    required.
2353
 
2354
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2355
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2356
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2357
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2358
    the files in order to use them.
2359
 
2360
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2361
    locate the file.
2362
 
2363
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2364
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2365
 
2366
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2367
        * CSharp
2368
        * Properties
2369
        * WinRC
2370
 
2371
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2372
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2373
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2374
    Value is correctly assigned.
2375

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
2378
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2379
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2380
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2381
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2382
 
2383
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2384
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2385
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2386
 
2387
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2388
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2389
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2390
 
2391
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2392
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2393
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2394
 
2395
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2396
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2397
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2398
    correct.
2399
 
2400
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2401
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2402
 
2403
Minor changes:
2404
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2405
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2406
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2407
 
2408
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2409
    This will simplify new user setup.
2410
 
2411
  * All Unix Toolsets
2412
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2413
    on unix systems
2414
 
2415
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2416
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2417
    on some Solaris Machines.
2418
 
2419
  * JATS -version=<version>
2420
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2421
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2422

    * New platform: WCEPSION_500_emu [DEVI-047234]
245 dpurdie 2428
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 2429
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
2430
 
2431
Minor changes:
2432
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
2433
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
2434
 
2435
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
2436
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets

2438
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
2439
      Does not work with LMOS
2440
 
2441
    * Readme.txt file
2442
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
2443
 
2444
    * Misc Cleanup
2445
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
2464
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
2465
 
2466
  * JATS builds
2467
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
2468
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
2469
    mode.
2470
 
2471
  * JATS makefiles
2472
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2473
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2474
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2475
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2476
                            SetList directive.
2477

        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
2486
 
2487
  * JATS buildfile processing
2488
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
2489
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
2490
    of JATS.
2491
 
2492
  * JATS save_build utility
2493
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
2494
    which may be reserved.

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
2522
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
2523
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
2524
 
2525
    * MOS Toolset
2526
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
2527
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
2528
 
2529
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
2530
      can have production (PIC) components.
2531

      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
2540
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
2541
      Previously only worked on Windows

    * Extract/Release utility.
2576
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
2577
      that can handle spaces
2578
 
2579
    * MOS Compiler
2580
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2581
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
2582
 
2583
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2584
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
2585
      descpkg files to be copied.
2586
 
2587
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
2588
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
2589
 
2590
    * JATS ANT command
2591
      Better selection of the ant build file
2592
 
2593

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 2603
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
2604
 
2605
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
2606
      <project> field.
2607

Major changes:
2621
 
2622
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 2623
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
2624
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
2625
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
2626
 
2627
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2628
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
2629
 
2630
    * Jats wrapper
2631
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
2632
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
2633

Version: 2.72.00000.cr                                Released: 11-Jan-08
2636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2637
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 2638
    * Jats Release Mechanism
2639
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
2640
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
2641
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
2642
 
2643
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
2644
 
2645
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
2646
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
2647
 
2648
    * Running Jats
2649
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
2650
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
2651
      This may affect some windows developers.
2652
 
2653
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
2654
      Future versions will generate an error.
2655
 
2656
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
2657
 
2658
Minor changes:
2659
    * Perl Version Check
2660
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
2661
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
2662
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
2663
 
2664
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
2665
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
2666
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
2667
      build.
2668
 
2669
    * Jats Internals
2670
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
2671
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
2672
 
2673
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
2674
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
2675
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
2676
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
2677
      process.
2678
 
2679
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
2680
      Only works under Windows.
2681
 
2682
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
2683
 
2684
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
2685
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
2686
 
2687
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2688
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
2689
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
2690
 
2691
    * Jats eprog
2692
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
2693
      directory.
2694
 
2695
    * jats tool jats_metrics
2696
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
2697
      build metrics.
2698
 
2699

2701
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2702
Major changes:
2703
 
2704
Minor changes:
2705
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
2706
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
2707
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
2708
      automated build system. New options are:
2709
        -pname=Package_Name
2710
        -pversion=Package_Version
2711
 
2712
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
2713
      transferring the package. New options are:
2714
        -test
2715
 
2716
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2717
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
2718
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
2719
 
2720
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
2721
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
2722
 
2723
    * Solaris Toolset
2724
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
2725
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
2726
      programs are still supported.

2730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2731
Major changes:
2732
 
2733
Minor changes:
2734
    * WINCE toolsets
2735
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
2736
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
2737
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
2738
      when header files cannot be found.
2739
 
2740
    * GenerateFiles directive
2741
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
2742
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
2743
      that are difficult to solve.
2744
 
2745
    * MakePerlModule directive
2746
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
2747
      to the the module builder.
2748
 
2749
    * Jats Tool: label
2750
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
2751
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
2752
      -dirs=xxx options.
2753
 
2754
    * Jats Tool: release
2755
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
2756
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
2757
 
2758
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
2759
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
2760
 
2761
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2762
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
2763
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
2764
 
2765
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

    * Makefile generation
2812
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
2813
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the

      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
2824
 
2825
    * Makefile generation
2826
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
2827
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
2828
 
2829
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
2830
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
2831
 
2832
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
2833
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild

2841
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
2842
 
2843
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
2844
      inconsistent packages.
2845
 
2846
    * jats make help
2847
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
2848
      available within the current build.
2849
 
2850
    * jats makefiles
2851
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
2852
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
2853
 
2854
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
2855
      pl, then it will be ignored.
2856
 
2857
    * gcc toolset
2858
      SharedLibries.
2859
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
2860
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
2861
 
2862
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
2863
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
2864
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
2865
 
2866
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
2867
        New options:
2868
            --MultiScan
2869
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
2870
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
2871
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

Major changes:
2878
 
2879
Minor changes:
2880
    PackageLib directive
2881
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
2882
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
2883
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
2884
 
2885
    MakefileGenerate directive
2886
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
2887
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
2888
 
2889
    Multiple Parent detection
2890
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
2891
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
2892
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
2893
    condition will be treated as a warning.
2894
 
2895
    Solaris Toolset
2896
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
2897
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
2898
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
2899
    link.
2900
 
2901
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
2902
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
2903
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
2904
 
2905
    Make and generation of subdirectories
2906
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
2907
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
2908
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2913
Major changes:
2914
    Makefile generation and make recursion
2915
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
2916
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
2917
 
2918
    Summary of changes:
2919
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
2920
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
2921
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
2922
          flexibility.
2923
 
2924
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
2925
 
2926
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
2927
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
2928
          interface directory and associated build information.
2929
 
2930
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
2931
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
2932
          than one second.
2933
 
2934
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
2935
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
2936
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
2937
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
2938
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
2939
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
2940
 
2941
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
2942
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
2943
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
2944
 
2945
        - Better makefile rebuilding
2946
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
2947
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
2948
          building them.
2949
 
2950
        - Detection of build file changes
2951
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
2952
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
2953
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
2954
 
2955
        - Quieter make output
2956
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
2957
 
2958
 
2959
Minor changes:
2960
    MakeAnt Directive
2961
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
2962
 
2963
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
2964
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
2965
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
2966
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
2967
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
2968
 
2969
    CSHARP toolset
2970
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
2971

2980
 
2981
    MakeAnt
2982
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
2983
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
2984
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
2985
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
2986
 
2987
    MCR platform

    New option: --PackageBase
2999
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3000
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3001
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3002
 
3003
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3004
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3005
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3006
        package image being created.

3026
 
3027
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3028
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3029
 
3030
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3031
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3032
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3033
 
3034
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3035
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3036
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3037

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3066
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3067
 
3068
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3069
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3070
      last.
3071
 
3072
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3073
 
3074
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3075
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3076
 
3077
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3078
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3079
 
3080
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3081
 
3082
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3083
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3084
 
3085
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3086
 
3087
 
3088
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3089

      dependent packages.
3103
 
3104

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3113
Major changes:
3114
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3115
 
3116
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3117
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3118
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3119
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3120
      path.
3121
 
3122
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3123
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3124
      reproducible.
3125
 
3126
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3127
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3128
 
3129
      There are several aspects to the change
3130
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3131
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3132
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3133
 
3134
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3135
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3136
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3137
          controlled separately.
3138
 
3139
Minor changes:
3140
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3141
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3142
        Remove duplicates
3143
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3144

Minor changes:
3151
    * Makefile sanity test
3152
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3153
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3154
 
3155
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3156
      x86 machine.
3157
 
3158
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3159
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory

Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3163
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3164
Major changes:
3165
    * RunTest directive
3166
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3167
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3168
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3169
 
3170
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3171
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3172
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3173
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3174
 
3175
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3176
        builder within the current toolset.
3177
 
3178
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3179
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3180
 
3181
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3182
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3183
      containing the RunTest directive.
3184
 
3185
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3186
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3187
 
3188
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3189
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3190
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3191
 
3192
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3193
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3194
                            P or D suffix.
3195
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3196
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3197
 
3198
Minor changes:
3199
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3200
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3201
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3202
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3203
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3204
 
3205
    * Save Build Utility
3206
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3207
      used in a ripple build.
3208
 
3209
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3210
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3211
 
3212
    * Release Utility
3213
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3214
      when an error is encountered.
3215
 
3216
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3217
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3218
 
3219
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3220
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3221
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3222
 
3223
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3224
      before the makefiles are created.
3225
 
3226
    * TestProg directive
3227
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3228
 
3229
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3230
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3231
 
3232

3233
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
3234
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3235
Major changes:
3236
    * New build target
3237
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3238
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3239
 
3240
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3241
            DEVLINUX
3242
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3243
 
3244
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3245
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3246
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3247
 
3248
Minor changes:
3249
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3250
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3251
 
3252
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3253
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3254
 
3255
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3256
      and .cs files.
3257
 
3258
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3259
      thing.
3260
 
3261
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3262
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3263
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3264
      were it places temp files.
3265
 
3266
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3267
      interaction with other builds.
3268
 
3269
    * Release utility command
3270
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3271
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3272
      component in the clearcase tag name.
3273

    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3289
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3290
 
3291
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3292
    as a Script.

Major changes:
3321
 
3322
Minor changes:
3323
  * WINCE Support
3324
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3325
 
3326
  * Removed the following targets
3327
        TP5600
3328
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3329
        TP5600_EMU
3330
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3331
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3332
 
3333
  * Deployment
3334
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3335
 
3336
  * build.pl
3337
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3338
 
3339
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3340
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3341
 
3342
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3343
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3344
    build.
3345
 
3346
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3347
 
3348
  * Tool: escrow
3349
     New features
3350
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3351
     are not in the SBOM.
3352
 
3353
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3354
 
3355
     Specify packages to be ignored.

3359
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3360
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3361
Major changes:
3362
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3363
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3364
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3365
 
3366
  * GenerateFiles
3367
    Added the options:
3368
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3369
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3370
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3371
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3372
 
3373
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3374
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3375
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3376
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3377
                                  required.
3378
 
3379
 
3380
Minor changes:
3381
  * GenerateFile directive
3382
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3383
 
3384
  * GCC Toolset
3385
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3386
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3387
    be rebuilt.
3388
 
3389
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3390
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3391
 
3392
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3393
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3394
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3395
Major changes:
3396
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3397
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3398
    environment variables.
3399
 
3400
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3401
            moved.
3402
 
3403
    This will affect users that:
3404
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3405
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3406
 
3407
        2) Use the ABT system
3408
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3409
           the required configuration
3410
 
3411
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3412
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3413
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3414
    Windows
3415
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3416
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3417
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3418
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3419
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3420
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3421
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3422
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3423
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3424
 
3425
 
3426
  * New build platforms
3427
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3428
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3429
 
3430
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3431
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3432
 
3433
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3434
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3435
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3436
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3437
 
3438
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3439
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3440
    release.
3441
 
3442
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3443
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3444
 
3445
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3446
    need to be converted.
3447
 
3448
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3449
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3450
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3451
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3452
    used for different targets platforms.
3453
 
3454
  * Sandbox support
3455
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3456
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3457
 
3458
    New command: jats sandbox ...

3464
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
3465
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3466
Major changes:
3467
  * MakeAnt directive
3468
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3469
 
3470
    New options
3471
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3472
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3473
 
3474
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3475
    run_unit_tests phase.
3476
 
3477
  * Sandbox support
3478
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3479
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3480
 
3481
Minor changes:
3482
  * jats build
3483
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3484
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3485
 
3486
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3487
 
3488
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3489
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3490
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3491
 
3492
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3493
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3494
 
3495
  * JATS.BAT
3496
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3497
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3498
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3499
 
3500
  * jats label
3501
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3502
 
3503
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3504
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3505
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3506
Major changes:
3507
  * New build platform:
3508
        LMOS_TP5600
3509
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3510
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3511
 
3512
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3513
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3514
    describe the group of platforms.
3515
 
3516
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3517
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3518
    build these targets.
3519
 
3520
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3521
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3522
 
3523
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3524
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3525
 
3526
  * New build platform: WINCE
3527
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3528
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3529
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3530
 
3531
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3532
            WCEIT3000
3533
            WCEPA961
3534
            WCEPA962

3542
 
3543
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3544
 
3545
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3546
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3547
    that contain packaging directives.
3548
 
3549
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3550
    very unusual configurations.
3551
 
3552
Minor changes:
3553
  * Directive: PackageFile
3554
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3555
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3556
    an '='.
3557
 
3558
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3559
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3560
 
3561
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3562
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3563
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3564
 
3565
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3566
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3567
 
3568
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3569
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3570
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3571
Major changes:
3572
 
3573
  * JATS release command
3574
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3575
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3576
 
3577
    Rules are:
3578
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3579
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3580
                            File will be placed on a branch
3581
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3582
                            New directory will branch
3583
 
3584
Minor changes:
3585
  * JATS release command
3586
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3587
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3588
 
3589
  * JATS label command
3590
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
3591
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
3592
 
3593
  * JATS make
3594
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
3595
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
3596
    was re-packaged.
3597
 
3598
  * JATS escrow
3599
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
3600
    Use jats escrow -help for details
3601
 
3602
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
3603
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
3604
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
3605
 
3606
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
3607
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
3608
    interface directory.
3609
 
3610
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
3611
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
3612
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
3613
    directory as seen by the package.
3614
 
3615
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
3616
 
3617
  * JAVA 6
3618
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
3619
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
3620
 
3621
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
3622
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
3623
 
3624
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
3625
 
3626
  * Jats command: vars
3627
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
3628
    These indicate potential problems.
3629
 
3630
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3631
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
3632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3633
Major changes:
3634
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
3635
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
3636
    libarry is also created.
3637
 
3638
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
3639
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
3640
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
3641
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
3642
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
3643
    information contained within the file.
3644
 
3645
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
3646
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
3647
 
3648
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
3649
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
3650
 
3651
  * Building Perl Modules
3652
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
3653
    documentation on the build machine.
3654
 
3655
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
3656
 
3657
Minor changes:
3658
  * jats create_dpkg
3659
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
3660
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
3661
 
3662
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3663
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
3664
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3665
Major changes:
3666
  * JATS JAVA build target
3667
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
3668
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
3669
 
3670
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
3671
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
3672
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
3673
    is then picked up as the default version.
3674
 
3675
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
3676
    build.pl file.
3677
 
3678
Minor changes:
3679
  * jats release
3680
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
3681
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
3682
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
3683
 
3684
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
3685
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
3686
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
3687
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
3688
    the name of the view.
3689
 
3690
  * GenerateFiles directive
3691
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
3692
 
3693
  * MOS Toolset
3694
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
3695
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
3696
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
3697
 
3698
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
3699
 
3700
 
3701
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3702
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
3703
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3704
Major changes:
3705
 
3706
Minor changes:
3707
  * JATS environment
3708
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
3709
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
3710
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
3711
 
3712
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
3713
 
3714
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
3715
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
3716
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
3717
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
3718
    to be packaged.
3719
 
3720
  * Generated makefiles
3721
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
3722
 
3723
  * Generating MOS THX files
3724
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
3725
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
3726
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
3727
 
3728
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
3729
 
3730
  * JATS release
3731
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
3732
 
3733
  * JATS extract
3734
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
3735
 
3736
  * JATS Toolset
3737
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
3738
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
3739
 
3740

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3742
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
3743
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3744
Major changes:
3745
 
3746
Minor changes:
3747
  * jats label
3748
    Added a -vob=name option
3749
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
3750
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
3751
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
3752
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
3753
 
3754
    Added a -user=name option
3755
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
3756
    label to the named user.
3757
 
3758
  * jats release
3759
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
3760
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
3761
 
3762
  * JATS build.pl
3763
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
3764
    ie:
3765
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
3766

3769
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
3770
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3771
Major changes:
3772
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
3773
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
3774
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
3775
    the makefile internals. ie:
3776
        --Var(BuildName)
3777
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
3778
        -BuildName=MyPackage
3779
 
3780
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
3781
 
3782
  * GenerateFiles
3783
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
3784
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
3785
 
3786
  * BuildPlatforms
3787
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
3788
 
3789
Minor changes:
3790
  * GCC Toolset
3791
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
3792
 
3793
Internal changes:
3794
  * GenerateFiles
3795
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
3796
 
3797
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
3798
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
3799
 
3800
 
3801
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3802
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
3803
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3804
Major changes:
3805
  * Caching JATS
3806
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
3807
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
3808
 
3809
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
3810
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
3811
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
3812
 
3813
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
3814
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
3815
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
3816
 
3817
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
3818
 
3819
Minor changes:
3820
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
3821
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
3822
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
3823
 
3824
  * jats build
3825
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
3826
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
3827
    processed by the build.
3828
 
3829
  * jats build
3830
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
3831
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
3832
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
3833
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
3834
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
3835
 
3836
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
3837
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
3838
    Path is not specified.
3839
 
3840
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
3841
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
3842
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
3843
        --Dir=$Pinc
3844
    but $Pinc is not defined.
3845
 
3846
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
3847
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
3848
    Windows platform.
3849
 
3850
        - OPTIONS=purecov
3851
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
3852
            by 'purecov.
3853
 
3854
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3855
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
3856
 
3857
        - OPTIONS=purify
3858
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3859
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
3860
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
3861

3864
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
3865
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3866
Major changes:
3867
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
3868
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
3869
    Example:
3870
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
3871
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
3872
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
3873
 
3874
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
3875
    been determined.
3876
 
3877
Minor changes:
3878
  * Added the ScanList directive.
3879
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
3880
    located at build-time.
3881
 
3882
  * Unix based systems
3883
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
3884
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
3885
 
3886
  * MakeLinuxDriver
3887
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
3888
    driver being built.
3889
 
3890
 
3891

3897
Minor changes:
3898
  * jats_rewrite tool
3899
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
3900
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
3901
 
3902
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
3903
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
3904
 
3905
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
3906
    dependancy information within a package.
3907
 
3908
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
3909
    messages.
3910
 
3911
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3912
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06

3914
Major changes:
3915
  * makefile.pl directives
3916
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
3917
 
3918
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
3919
 
3920
    GenerateFiles.
3921
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
3922
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
3923
                      be run on every invocation.
3924
 
3925
 
3926
Minor changes:
3927
  * Added the jats version command
3928
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
3929
 
3930
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
3931
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
3932
  There are two mechanism:
3933
 
3934
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
3935
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
3936
 
3937
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
3938
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
3939
 
3940
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
3941
  default.
3942
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
3943
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
3944

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3948
Major changes:
3949
  * SunWorks Toolset
3950
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
3951
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
3952
    It is based on machine type.
3953
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
3954
 
3955
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
3956
 
3957
Minor changes:
3958
  * Perl DBI interface
3959
    Removed the message showing database connection
3960
 
3961
  * JATS internal library
3962
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
3963
 
3964
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3965
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
3966
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3967
Major changes:
3968
  * GCC Toolset
3969
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
3970
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
3971
    Removed the use of `uname`.
3972
 
3973
  * Added platforms
3974
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
3975
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3976
    TP5600_EMU
3977
 
3978
Minor changes:
3979
  * descpkg file reader
3980
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
3981
    field separator.
3982
 
3983
  * JATS eprog command
3984
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
3985
 
3986
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
3987
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
3988
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
3989
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
3990
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
3991
 
3992
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
3993
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
3994
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
3995
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
3996
 
3997
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
3998
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

4012
Minor changes:
4013
  * JATS wrapper script
4014
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4015
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4016
    to setup links to system programs.
4017

4039
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4040
        no_misalign         - Default
4041
 
4042
        multithread         - Default

4060
    Theses are:
4061
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4062
        SOLARIS_AMD
4063
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4064
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4065
 
4066
Minor changes:
4067

Major changes:
4078
 
4079
Minor changes:
4080
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4081
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4082
    messages
4083
 
4084
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4085
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4086
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4087
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4088
 
4089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4090
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
4091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4092
Major changes:
4093
 
4094
Minor changes:
4095
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4096
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4097
    library without creating the body of the library:
4098
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4099
 
4100
 
4101
  * MOS toolsets
4102
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4103
    library without creating the body of the library:
4104
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4105
 
4106
  * JATS BIN directories
4107
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4108
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4109
    using autoconf.
4110
 
4111
  * Generate directive
4112
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4113
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4114
 
4115
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4116
 
4117
 
4118
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4119
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4120
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4121
Major changes:
4122
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4123
    Initial release.
4124
 
4125
Minor changes:
4126
 
4127
 
4128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4129
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4131
Major changes:
4132
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4133
    Initial release.
4134
 
4135
  * Packaging directives
4136
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4137
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4138
 
4139
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4140
        SOLARIS
4141
        WIN32
4142
 
4143
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4144
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4145
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4146
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4147
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4148
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4149
 
4150
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4151
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4152
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4153
 
4154
 
4155
Minor changes:
4156
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4157
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4158
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4159
 
4160
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4161
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4162
    location
4163
 
4164
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4165
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4166
 
4167
  * Utility genrc
4168
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4169
 
4170
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4171
    Added option: -new
4172
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4173
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4174
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4175
 
4176
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4177
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4178
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4179
 
4180
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4181
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4182
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4183
 
4184
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4185
   features - in a uniform manner.
4186
 
4187
 
4188
Internal Changes:
4189
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4190
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4191
 
4192
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4193
        1) Platform information available at build time
4194
        2) Dynamic platform names
4195
 
4196
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4197
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4198
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4199
 
4200
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4201
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4202
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4203
 
4204
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4205
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4206
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4207
    needed.
4208
 
4209
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4210
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4211
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4212
    files from all of these.

4217
Major changes:
4218
 
4219
Minor changes:
4220
  * WinCE toolset
4221
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4222
 
4223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4224
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4226
Major changes:
4227
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4228
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4229
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4230
 
4231
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4232
 
4233
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4234
    the operations.
4235
 
4236
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4237
 
4238
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4239
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4240
 
4241
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4242
 
4243
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4244
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4245
 
4246
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4247
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4248
    Extended the built-in help
4249
    Added useful error messages
4250
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4251
 
4252
  * WinCE toolset
4253
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4254
 
4255
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4256
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4257
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4258
 
4259
Minor changes:
4260
  * JATS wrapper script
4261
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4262
    the command line.
4263
 
4264
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4265
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4266
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4267
 
4268
Internal Changes:
4269
  * Common Error Reporting
4270
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4271
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4272
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4273
    level.
4274
 
4275
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4276
    displayed.
4277
 
4278
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4279
 
4280
  * Added JatsSystem module
4281
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4282
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4283
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

Major changes:
4286
 
4287
Minor changes:
4288
  * BR Compiler toolset
4289
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4290
    .def files to include other files.
4291
 
4292
  * IAR toolset
4293
    Added AT7272 support
4294
 
4295
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4296
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4297
 
4298
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4299
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4300
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4301
Major changes:
4302
 
4303
Minor changes:
4304
  * BR Compiler toolset
4305
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4306
    use.
4307
 
4308
 
4309
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4310
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4311
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4312
Major changes:
4313
 
4314
Minor changes:
4315
  * Mictotec toolset
4316
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4317
    builds.
4318
 
4319
  * JATS Core
4320
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4321
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4322
    behaviour.
4323
 
4324
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4325
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4326
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4327
Major changes:
4328
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4329
    Deployment package will be affected.
4330
 
4331
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4332
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4333
 
4334
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4335
 
4336
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4337
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4338
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4339
    packages.
4340
 
4341
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4342
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4343
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4344
 
4345
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4346
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4347
 
4348
Minor changes:
4349
  * SubDir directive
4350
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4351
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4352
 
4353
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4354
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4355
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4356
    of the file usage.
4357
 
4358
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4359
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4360
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4361
 
4362
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4363
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4364
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4365
 
4366
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4367
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4368
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4369
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4370
 
4371
 
4372
Internal Changes:
4373
  * Code refactor
4374
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4375
 
4376
  * Deployment utilities
4377
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4378
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4379
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4380
    the module can locate the file.
4381
 
4382
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4383
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4384
 
4385
  * JATS core
4386
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4387
 
4388
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4389
 
4390
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4391
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4392
    through the use of environment variables.
4393
 
4394
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4395
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4396
 
4397
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4398
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4399
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4400
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4401
 
4402
  * Make environment
4403
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4404
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4405

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

Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
4775
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4776
Major changes:
4777
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
4778
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
4779
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
4780
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
4781
 
4782
    This may cause module validation to fail.
4783
 
4784
Minor changes:
4785
  * None

4788
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
4789
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4790
Major changes:
4791
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
4792
    Added option --Uses=NAME
4793
    ie:
4794
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
4795
 
4796
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
4797
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
4798
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
4799
    environments are compatible.
4800
 
4801
 
4802
Minor changes:
4803
  * BuildName option
4804
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
4805
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
4806
 
4807
  * jats.bat
4808
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
4809
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
4810
 
4811
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4812
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
4813
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4814
Major changes:
4815
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4816
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
4817
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
4818
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
4819
 
4820
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
4821
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
4822
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
4823
 
4824
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
4825
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
4826
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
4827
 
4828
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
4829
    transferred.
4830
 
4831
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
4832
    See notes below.
4833
 
4834
  * WIN32 toolset
4835
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
4836
    correctly.
4837
 
4838
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
4839
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
4840
 
4841
  * BuildVersion
4842
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
4843
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
4844
    other langauges as needed.
4845
 
4846
 
4847
Minor changes:
4848
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
4849
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
4850
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
4851
    version strings.
4852
 
4853
  * GenerateFiles directive
4854
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
4855
    package or an imported package.
4856
 
4857
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
4858
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
4859
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
4860
 
4861
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
4862
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
4863
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
4864
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
4865
    makefiles and strange error messages.
4866
 
4867
Internal Changes
4868
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
4869
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
4870
    of utilities.
4871
 
4872
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
4873
    functions.
4874
 
4875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4876
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
4877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4878
Major changes:
4879
  * Generated makefiles
4880
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
4881
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
4882
    that sed did not process its arguments.
4883
 
4884
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
4885
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
4886
    incorrectly processing:
4887
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
4888
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
4889
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
4890
    confused.
4891
 
4892
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
4893
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
4894
    The construct
4895
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
4896
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
4897
    then it works.
4898
 
4899
  * MakeAnt directive
4900
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
4901
 
4902
    This option has the following effects
4903
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
4904
           can be used installed and manipulated.
4905
 
4906
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
4907
           early - in the generated files phase.
4908
 
4909
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
4910
    component needs to generate a header file early.
4911
 
4912
 
4913
Minor changes:
4914
  * JATS post-installation script
4915
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
4916
 
4917
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
4918
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
4919
    windows.
4920
 
4921
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
4922
    Handle all variants of BuildName
4923
 
4924
  * Jats wrapper script
4925
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
4926
        1) Contain spaces
4927
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
4928
 
4929
  * Toolset
4930
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
4931
 
4932
  * JAVA toolset
4933
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
4934
    directive:
4935
 
4936
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
4937
 
4938
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
4939
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
4940
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
4941
 
4942
  * GCC Toolset
4943
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
4944
 
4945
  * Makefile generation
4946
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
4947
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
4948
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
4949
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
4950
    package could not be used.
4951
 
4952
  * Unit Tests
4953
    The following environment variables are set:
4954
 
4955
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
4956
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
4957
 
4958
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
4959
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
4960
 
4961
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
4962
 
4963
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4964
 
4965
 
4966
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4967
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
4968
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4969
Major changes:
4970
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
4971
 
4972
    Special features of this toolset.
4973
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
4974
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
4975
       incorporated within the target image.
4976
 
4977
    2) Prog directive extensions:
4978
       --Set=Name=Value
4979
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
4980
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
4981
 
4982
       --Ref=name
4983
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
4984
                to provide information that will be placed within the
4985
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
4986
                will be taken from the build version number.
4987
 
4988
Minor changes:
4989
  * MOS Toolset
4990
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
4991
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
4992
    packaged.
4993
 
4994
  * Src directive
4995
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
4996
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
4997
    specifier.
4998
 
4999
  * WIN32 runtime support
5000
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5001
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5002
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5003
 
5004
Internal:
5005
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5006
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5007
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5008
 
5009
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5010
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5011
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5012
Major changes:
5013
    * BuildAlias directive
5014
      Added options.
5015
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5016
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5017
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5018
                          targets.
5019
      Eg:
5020
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5021
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5022
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5023
 
5024
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5025
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5026
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5027
 
5028
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5029
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5030
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5031
 
5032
 
5033
Minor changes:
5034
  * Label utility
5035
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5036
    build.pl file
5037
 
5038
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5039
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5040
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5041
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5042
    --FilterIn option.
5043
 
5044
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5045
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5046
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5047
 
5048
  * Location of descpkg file
5049
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5050
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5051
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5052
 
5053
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5054
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5055
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5056
Major changes:
5057
  * RunTest directive
5058
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5059
    Additional options
5060
      --CopyIn=file
5061
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5062
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5063
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5064
        the test area.
5065
 
5066
    Additional operations
5067
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5068
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5069
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5070
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5071
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5072
    Allows flags:
5073
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5074
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5075
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5076
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5077
 
5078
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5079
    existence is tested.
5080
 
5081
  * Packaging Directives
5082
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5083
    such as LMOS.
5084
 
5085
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5086
 
5087
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5088
 
5089
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5090
 
5091
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5092
 
5093
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5094
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5095
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5096
 
5097
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5098
 
5099
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5100
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5101
 
5102
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5103
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5104
 
5105
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5106
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5107
 
5108
Minor changes:
5109
  * Script directive
5110
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5111
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5112
 
5113
  * JATS environment
5114
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5115
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5116
    the JATS wrapper script.
5117
 
5118
  * Label utility
5119
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5120
    There are three modes of operation:
5121
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5122
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5123
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5124
 
5125
 
5126
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5127
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5129
Major changes:
5130
 
5131
Minor changes:
5132
  * label utility
5133
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5134
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5135
 
5136
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5137
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5138
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5139
      --ProgLoader=name
5140
 
5141
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5142
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5143
    Options to do this are:
5144
        --TreeDir=name
5145
        --FilterOut=regexp
5146
        --FilterIn=regexp
5147
        --StripDir
5148
 
5149
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5150
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5151
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5152
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5153
 
5154
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5155
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5156
 
5157
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5158
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5159
 
5160
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5161
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5162
 
5163
 
5164
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5165
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5166
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5167
Major changes:
5168
    * Make commands
5169
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5170
 
5171
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5172
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5173
 
5174
    * Label utility
5175
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5176
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5177
 
5178
Minor changes:
5179
    * Toolsets
5180
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5181
      variables and overrides.
5182
 
5183
      The make_init target is always run.
5184
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5185
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5186
 
5187
    * Deployment
5188
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5189
      with deployment operations.
5190
 
5191
    * Release utility
5192
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5193
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5194
      restricted by options within the build.
5195
 
5196
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5197
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5198
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5199
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5200
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5201
 
5202
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5203
      directives.
5204
 
5205
    * MakeProject directive
5206
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5207
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5208
 
5209
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5210
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5211
      is preserved.
5212
 
5213
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5214
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5215
      statements.
5216
 
5217
    * Mugfile generation
5218
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5219
      be placed in the target package.
5220
 
5221

5223
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5224
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5225
Major changes:
5226
    * BuildVersion directive
5227
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5228
      number as well as a patch number.
5229
 
5230
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5231
      number.
5232
 
5233
Minor changes:
5234
    * AddFlags directives
5235
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5236
      duplicate flags being added.
5237
 
5238
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5239
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5240
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5241
 
5242
    * Mug File Generation
5243
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5244
 
5245
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5246
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5247
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5248
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5249
     directory.
5250
 
5251
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5252
     reproducible.
5253

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5255
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5257
Major changes:
5258
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5259
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5260
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5261
      longer a list of directories.
5262
 
5263
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5264
      done within the toolset.
5265
 
5266
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5267
 
5268
    * JATS environment variables
5269
      Redefined variable
5270
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5271
                          Previously was a list that included the
5272
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5273
 
5274
      New variable
5275
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5276
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5277
 
5278
 
5279
Minor changes:
5280
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5281
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5282
      target platforms to be extracted.
5283
 
5284
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5285
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5286
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5287
 
5288
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5289
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5290
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5291
 
5292
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5293
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5294
 
5295
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5296
      Support ANT based XML files
5297
 
5298
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5299
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5300
      structure.
5301
 
5302
    * makefile.pl's
5303
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5304
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5305
 
5306
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5307
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5308
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5309
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5310
 
5311
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5312
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5313
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5314
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5315
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5316
      -- Auto.
5317
 
5318
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5319
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5320
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5321
 
5322
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5323
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5324
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5325
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5326
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5327
 
5328
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5329
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5330
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5331
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5332
      installed on the machine.
5333
 
5334
    * WINCE Targets
5335
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5336
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5337
 
5338
 
5339
 
5340
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5341
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5342
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5343
Major changes:
5344
    * WIN32 platforms
5345
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5346
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5347
      and installed packages.
5348
 
5349
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5350
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5351
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5352
 
5353
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5354
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5355
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5356
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5357
      searched when looking for libraries.
5358
 
5359
Minor changes:
5360
    * GenerateFiles directive
5361
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5362
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5363
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5364
                          and drive letter
5365
 
5366
    * Src directive
5367
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5368
      directory of a package.
5369
 
5370
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5371
 
5372
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5373
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5374
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5375
 
5376
    * jats_rewrite utility
5377
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5378
 
5379
 
5380
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5381
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5382
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5383
Major changes:
5384
    * SunWorks production builds
5385
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5386
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5387
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5388
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5389
      compiler documentation.
5390
 
5391
    * MOS Toolset
5392
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5393
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5394
 
5395
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5396
 
5397
Minor changes:
5398
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5399
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5400
      This should not affect current users.
5401
 
5402
    * Mugfile generation
5403
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5404
      specified.
5405
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5406
 
5407
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5408
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5409
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5410
Major changes:
5411
    MOS Toolset
5412
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5413
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5414
 
5415
Minor changes:
5416
    * Jats wrapper script
5417
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5418
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5419
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5420
 
5421
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5422
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5423
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5424
      may be suspect.
5425
 
5426
    * GenerateFiles directive
5427
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5428
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5429
 
5430
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5431
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5433
Major changes:
5434
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5435
      build.xml files.
5436
 
5437
Minor changes:
5438
    * WIN32 toolset.
5439
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5440
 
5441
    * MakeAnt
5442
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5443
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5444
 
5445
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5446
 
5447
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5448
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5449
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5450
 
5451
    * MakeAnt directive
5452
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5453
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5454
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5455
 
5456
      Recommended usage:
5457
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5458
 
5459
Internal Changes
5460
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5461

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5465
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5466
Major changes:
5467
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5468
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5469
      files packaged into the release.
5470
 
5471
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5475
 
5476
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5477
      The recommended platform is:
5478
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5479
 
5480
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5481
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5482
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5483
      components.
5484
 
5485
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

5489
 
5490
Minor changes:
5491
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5492
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5493
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5494
      by the package to be accessed.
5495
 
5496
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5497
      application or visual studio.
5498
 
5499
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5500
      and the JATS Core path.
5501
 
5502
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5503
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5504
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5505
 
5506
    * MOS Toolset
5507
      Add support for the TPT device
5508
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5509
 
5510
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5511
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5512
 
5513
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5514
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5515
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5516
 
5517
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5518
 
5519
Internal Changes
5520
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5521
      in jats.pl
5522
 
5523
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5524
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5525
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5526
Major changes:
5527
    * JATS wrapper script
5528
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5529
 
5530
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5531
 
5532
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5533
 
5534
Minor changes:
5535
    * Deployment support
5536
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5537
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5538
 
5539
    * 'build'
5540
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5541
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5542
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5543
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5544
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5545
 
5546
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5547
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5548
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5549
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5550
                                      the link phase.
5551
 
5552
    * BuildPkgArchive
5553
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5554
      Previously these were ignored.
5555
      Minor code cleanup
5556
 
5557
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5558
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5559
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5560
 
5561
    * SOLARIS targets
5562
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5563
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5564
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5565
 
5566
    * MugFile generation
5567
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5568
      included in the final package.
5569
 
5570
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5571
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5572
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5573
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5574
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5575
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5576
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5577
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5578
 
5579
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5580
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5581
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5582
            --Option=(some_text)
5583
            --Option=[some_text]
5584
            --Option={some_text}
5585
 
5586
Internal Changes
5587
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5588
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5589
      code.

5592
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
5593
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5594
Major changes:
5595
    * JATS wrapper script
5596
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
5597
 
5598
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
5599
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
5600
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
5601
      other components.
5602
 
5603
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
5604
 
5605
    * JATS
5606
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
5607
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
5608
 
5609
    * Build operations
5610
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
5611
      if required packages are built against different versions of
5612
      packages.
5613
 
5614
    * Make operations
5615
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
5616
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
5617
 
5618
Minor changes:
5619
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
5620
      deployment builds.
5621
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
5622
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
5623
 
5624
      Extended the "jats vars" display
5625
 
5626
    * build.pl
5627
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
5628
        processed. Allows
5629
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
5630
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
5631
        production.
5632
 
5633
    * MOS toolset
5634
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
5635
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
5636
 
5637
    * create_dpkg utility
5638
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
5639
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
5640
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
5641
      progress of the build.
5642
 
5643
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
5644
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
5645
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
5646
      system.
5647
 
5648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5649
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
5650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5651
Major changes:
5652
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5653
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
5654
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
5655
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
5656
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
5657
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
5658
 
5659
    * WCEX86A500 target
5660
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
5661
 
5662
    * MOS Toolsets
5663
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
5664
      the compiler.
5665
 
5666
    * RunTest directive
5667
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
5668
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
5669
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
5670
 
5671
Minor changes:
5672
    * JATS BUILD
5673
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
5674
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
5675
      highlight bad settings.
5676
 
5677
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
5678
      access to extensions.
5679
 
5680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5681
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
5682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5683
Major changes:
5684
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5685
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
5686
 
5687
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
5688
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
5689
      under unix.
5690
 
5691
Minor changes:
5692
    * label utility
5693
      Added options to:
5694
        o Delete a label
5695
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
5696
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
5697
 
5698
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5699
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
5700
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
5701
      Package directives.
5702
 
5703
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
5704
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
5705
      system.
5706
 
5707
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5708
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
5709
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5710
Major changes:
5711
    * MOS Toolset
5712
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
5713
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
5714
 
5715
    * WIN32 Toolset
5716
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
5717
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
5718
      list.
5719
 
5720
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
5721
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
5722
 
5723
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
5724
 
5725
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
5726
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
5727
 
5728
 
5729
Minor changes:
5730
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
5731
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
5732
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
5733
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
5734
      corrected.
5735
 
5736
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
5737
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
5738
 
5739
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
5740
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
5741
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
5742
 
5743
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5744
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
5745
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5746
Major changes:
5747
    * WIN32 Toolset
5748
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
5749
      use with multithreaded modes.
5750
 
5751
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
5752
      --OnlyProd.
5753
 
5754
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
5755
      within the makefile.pl.
5756
 
5757
Minor changes:
5758
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
5759
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
5760
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
5761
      platforms.
5762
 
5763
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
5764
 
5765
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5766
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
5767
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5768
Major changes:
5769
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
5770
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
5771
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
5772
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
5773
 
5774
    * Preliminary Support
5775
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
5776
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
5777
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
5778
 
5779
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
5780
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
5781
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
5782
 
5783
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
5784
      building. The default build will build both.
5785
 
5786
Minor changes:
5787
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
5788
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
5789
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
5790
 
5791
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
5792
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
5793
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
5794
 
5795
 
5796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5797
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
5798
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5799
Major changes:
5800
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
5801
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
5802
      or all.
5803
 
5804
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
5805
      the library or program.
5806
 
5807
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
5808
 
5809
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
5810
      library or any debug files.
5811
 
5812
    * GenerateFiles
5813
      All processed arguments now support two options.
5814
 
5815
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
5816
              directory in which the prereq file is found
5817
 
5818
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
5819
              The filename of the prereq file
5820
 
5821
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
5822
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
5823
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
5824
 
5825
 
5826
Minor changes:
5827
    * create_dpkg utility
5828
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
5829
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
5830
      the package has been altered.
5831

5835
Major changes:
5836
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420

      This is a WINCE target
5838
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
5839
 
5840
    * New toolset
5841
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
5842
 
5843
    * Modified toolset
5844
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
5845
 
5846
    * Modified toolset
5847
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
5848
 
5849
Minor changes:
5850
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
5851
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
5852
 
5853
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
5854
 
5855
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
5856
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
5857
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
5858
 
5859
      The change allows the construct
5860
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
5861
      to be replaced by the simpler
5862
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
5863
 
5864
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
5865
      specified name.    
5866

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5886
Major changes:
5887
    * The "package.pl" file.
5888
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
5889
      package name being taken from the build name
5890
 
5891
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
5892
      package Build Name.
5893
 
5894
Minor changes:
5895
    * create_dpkg utility

5905
      Correct two common situations
5906
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
5907
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
5908
           ansi, but is often done.
5909
 
5910
    * GCC toolset
5911
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
5912
      being created in the correct place.
5913
 
5914
    * jats "label"
5915
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
5916
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
5917
 
5918
 
5919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5920
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
5921
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5922
Major changes:
5923
 
5924
Minor changes:
5925
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
5926
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
5927
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
5928
 
5929
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
5930
      pkg directory will be transferred.
5931
 
5932
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
5933

Major changes:
5940
    * Support for solaris_i386
5941
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
5942
      binaries for this target.
5943
 
5944
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
5945
      with the GCC compiler.
5946
 
5947
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
5948
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
5949
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
5950
 
5951
Minor changes:
5952
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5953
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
5954
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5955
 
5956
    * cbuild ( release) utility
5957

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5962
Major changes:
5963
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5964
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
5965
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5966
 
5967
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
5968
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
5969
 
5970
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
5971
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
5972
      with either " or ' characters.
5973
 
5974
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
5975
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
5976
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
5977
 
5978
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
5979
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
5980
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
5981
 
5982
    * Jats wrapper
5983
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
5984
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
5985
      further commands.
5986
 
5987
Minor changes:
5988
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
5989
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
5990
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
5991
      name of the .dep file and its content.

5994
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
5995
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5996
Major changes:
5997
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
5998
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
5999
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6000
 
6001
      These options operation affect all components within the
6002
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6003
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6004
 
6005
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6006
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6007
 
6008
Minor changes:
6009
 
6010
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6011
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6013
Major changes:
6014
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6015
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6016
 
6017
Minor changes:
6018
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6019
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6020
 
6021
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6022
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6023
 
6024
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6025
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6026
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6027
Major changes:
6028
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6029
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6030
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6031
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6032
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6033
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6034
      installed.
6035
 
6036
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6037
      libraries that depend on each other.
6038
 
6039
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6040
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6041
 
6042
Minor changes:
6043
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6044
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6045
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6046
 
6047
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6048
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6049
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6050
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6051
 
6052
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6053
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6054
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6055
Major changes:
6056
 
6057
Minor changes:
6058
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6059
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6060
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6061
      file.
6062
 
6063
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6064
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6065
 
6066
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6067
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6068
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6069
 
6070
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6071
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6072
 
6073
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6074
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6075
 
6076
    * WinCE toolsets
6077
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6078
      compiler specific libraries.
6079
 
6080
    * SOLARIS toolset
6081
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6082
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6083
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6084
 
6085
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6086
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6087
      cleaned up.
6088
 
6089
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6090
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6091
 
6092
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6093
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6094
      with either " or ' characters.
6095
 
6096
 
6097
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6098
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6099
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6100
Major changes:
6101
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6102
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6103
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6104
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6105
 
6106
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6107
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6108
 
6109
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6110
      user.
6111
 
6112
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6113
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6114
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6115
 
6116
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6117
      for the   -Gf option.
6118
 
6119
Minor changes:
6120
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6121
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6122
 
6123
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6124
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6125
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6126
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6127
 
6128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6129
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6131
Major changes:
6132
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6133
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6134
 
6135
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6136
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6137
      data addresses for the board.
6138
 
6139
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6140
 
6141
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6142
 
6143
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6144
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6145
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6146
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6147
         PackageFile
6148
 
6149
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6150
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6151
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6152
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6153
 
6154
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6155
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6156
      to be installed and packaged.
6157
 
6158
Minor changes:
6159
 
6160
    * cache_dpkg utility
6161
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6162
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6163
 
6164
    * label utility
6165
      New option -auto to create and label
6166
 
6167
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6168
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6169
 
6170
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6171
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6172
      directory. ie:
6173
 
6174
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6175
 
6176
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6177
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6178
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6179
 
6180
 
6181
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6182
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6184
Major changes:
6185
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6186
 
6187
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6188
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6189
 
6190
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6191
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6192
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6193
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6194
 
6195
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6196
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6197
      compilation.
6198
 
6199
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6200
 
6201
Minor changes:
6202
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6203
      one is being produced.
6204
 
6205
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6206
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6207
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6208
 
6209
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6210
 
6211
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6212
 
6213
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6214
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6215
 
6216
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6217
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6218
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6219
Major changes:
6220
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6221
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6222
 
6223
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6224
 
6225
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6226
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6227
      same directory
6228
 
6229
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6230
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6231
      documenattion.
6232
 
6233
Minor changes:
6234
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6235
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6236
 
6237
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6238
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6239
 
6240
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6241
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6242
 
6243
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6244
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6245
 
6246
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6247
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6248
      be exempt from this test.
6249
 
6250
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6251
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6252
 
6253
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6254
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6255
 
6256
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6257
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6258
      does.
6259
 
6260
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6261
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6262
 
6263
 
6264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6265
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6267
Major changes:
6268
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6269
 
6270
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6271
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6272
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6273
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6274
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6275
 
6276
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6277
      operations.
6278
 
6279
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6280
 
6281
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6282
 
6283
Minor changes
6284
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6285
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6286
 
6287
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6288
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6289
      directory is not added to the library path.
6290
 
6291
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6292
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6293
 
6294
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6295
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6296
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6297
 
6298
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6299
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6300
      specific flags.
6301
 
6302
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6303
 
6304
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6305
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6306
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6307
 
6308
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6309
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6310
      JATS.
6311
 
6312
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6313
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6314
 
6315
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6316
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6317
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6318
 
6319
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6320
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6321
 
6322
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6323
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6324
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6325
 
6326
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6327
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6328
 
6329
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6330
 
6331
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6332
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6333
 
6334
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6335
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6336
      objects.
6337
 
6338
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6339
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6340
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6341
      build defendants.
