Major changes:

6
Minor changes:
7
    * svnrelease utility
8
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
9
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
10
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
11
 
12
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
13
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
14
      the named tag.
15
 
16
    * svnrelease utility
17
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
18
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

26
    * CHSHARP Toolset
27
      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
28
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
29
        covered by the makefile.
30
 
31
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
32
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
33
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
34
 
35
    * ALL Toolsets
36
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
37
 
38
    * Utility vcsdiff
39
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
40
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
41
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
49
    * Subversion Extraction
2650 dpurdie 50
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
51
      directory of the tag.
2489 dpurdie 52
 
2650 dpurdie 53
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
54
      repository.
55
 
56
    * Subversion Support
57
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
58
      showing the user what to do.
59
 
2757 dpurdie 60
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
61
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
62
      we have build support for this target.
63
 
64
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
65
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
66
 
2650 dpurdie 67
Internal:
68
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
69
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
70
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
71
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

76
Major changes:
77
 
78
Minor changes:
79
    * Makefile Generation.
80
      Fixed issue with packaging files with a single quote(') in the name

2449 dpurdie 83
Version:  3.1.1000.cr                               Released: 14-Nov-12
84
------------------------------------------------------------------------
85
Major changes:
86
 
87
Minor changes:
88
    * Makefile generation
89
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
90
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
91
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
92
      of warnings.
93
 
94
    * Makefile Generation
95
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
96
 
97
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
98
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

Version:  3.1.0000.cr                               Released: 08-Nov-12
2074 dpurdie 103
------------------------------------------------------------------------
104
Major changes:
105
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
106
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
107
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
108
      these operations with a dedicated program.
109
 
2312 dpurdie 110
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2424 dpurdie 111
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2074 dpurdie 112
      windows path scheme.
113
 
114
Minor changes:
2426 dpurdie 115
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
116
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
117
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
118
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
119
 
120
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
121
        jats make clobber
122
      This operates as before.
123
 
124
    * Utility: escrow
125
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
126
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
127
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
128
 
2074 dpurdie 129
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
130
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
131
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
132
 
2424 dpurdie 133
    * Utility: svn : url
134
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
135
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
136
 
137
    * Utility: svn : import
138
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
139
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
140
 
2354 dpurdie 141
    * Subversion Support
2424 dpurdie 142
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
143
      showing the user what to do.
144
 
2354 dpurdie 145
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
146
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
147
      repositories.
148
 
2074 dpurdie 149
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2312 dpurdie 150
Version:  3.0.5000.cr                               Released: 05-Oct-12
151
------------------------------------------------------------------------
152
 
153
Minor changes:
154
    * Jats build
155
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
156
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
157
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
158
 
159
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
160
      command, with a sandbox.
161
 
162
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages
163

168
Minor changes:
169
    * Utility: svn
170
      Added two subcommands
171
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
172
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
173
                 Can also display available branches.
174
 
2053 dpurdie 175
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
176
      Added '-keepgoing' option to allow the user to ignore errors

178
    * Utility: rtag_extract
179
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
180
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
181
 
182
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
183
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
184
      Modified two options:
185
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
186
                        The named branch must not exist
187
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
188
                        The named branch must exist
189
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
223
 
224
Major changes:
225
    * Jats Version Number
226
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
227
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
228
      significantly.
229
 
230
Minor changes:

        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
246
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1341 dpurdie 247
 
248
Minor changes:
1359 dpurdie 249
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
250
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
251
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
252
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
253
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
254
 
1341 dpurdie 255
    * Utility: svnsave_build
256
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
257
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
258
 
1348 dpurdie 259
    * Linux support utilities
260
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format

267
Major changes:
1328 dpurdie 268
    * Subversion Repository location
269
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
270
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
271
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
272
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
273
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1269 dpurdie 274
 
275
Minor changes:
1328 dpurdie 276
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
277
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
278
 
1269 dpurdie 279
    * Utility: svnrelease
280
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
281
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
282
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
283
 
1328 dpurdie 284
    * Utility: svnsave_build
285
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
286
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
287
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
288
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1269 dpurdie 289
 
290
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
291
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
292
 
1328 dpurdie 293
    * Utility: sandbox
294
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
295
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
296
 
297
      Subcommand: populate
298
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
299
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
300
      sandbox.
301
 
1269 dpurdie 302
    * Subversion Support
303
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
304
      repository is not supported.
305
 
306
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
307
      a progress indication.
308
 
309
    * Jats Online Documentation
310
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
311
      online documentation.
312
 
1328 dpurdie 313
    * Generated makefiles
314
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
396
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
397
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
398
 
399
    * C# Toolchain
400
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

      Redefined location of the Perth Subversion server AUPERASVN01
410
 
411
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
412
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
413
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
414
 
415
    * Utility ccrelease
416
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
417
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
418
 
419
    * Utility: svn
420
      Improved package import processing.
421
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
422
 
423
    * Jats Utility: gen_cots
424

448
------------------------------------------------------------------------
449
Major changes:
450
 
451
Minor changes:
452
    * Command: jats clobber
453
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
454
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
455
 
456
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
457
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
458
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
459
 
460
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
461
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
462
 
377 dpurdie 463
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
464
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
465
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 466
 
467
    * jats svnlabel
468
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
469
 
470
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
471
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
472
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
473
 
474
    * Built Daemon support
475
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
476
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
477

373 dpurdie 479
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
480
------------------------------------------------------------------------
481
Major changes:
482
    * GCC Toolset
483
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
484
      New methodology is:
485
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
486
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
487
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
488
        as the main binary.
489
 
490
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
491
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
492
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
493
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
494
      both worlds.
495
 
496
Minor changes:
497
    * HTML Documentation
498
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
499
 
500
Internal changes:
501

508
Major changes:
509
    * Jats Sandbox
510
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
511
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
512
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
513
 
514
    * RIORDS Platform
515
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
516
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion

538
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
539
 
540

620
Major changes:
621
    * New toolset: ARM251
622
 
623
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
624
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
625
 
626
Minor changes:
627
    * HTML Help
628
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
629
 
630
    * jats build -noforce
631
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
632
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
633
      be forced.
634
 
635
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
636
 
637
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
638
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
639
 
640
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
641
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
642
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
643
 
644
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
645
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
646
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
647
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
648
 
649
    * Utility: svnrelease
650
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
651
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
652
 
653
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
654
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
655
 
656
    * Utility: svn
657
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
658
      installed and can be used.
659
 
660
    * Toolset: CSharp
661
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
662
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
663
      character.
664
 
665
    * Toolset: SunWorks
666
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
667
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
668
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
669
      masking an error.
670
 
671
    * Toolset: Delphi7
672
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
673
      enhancement.
674
 
675
    * Toolset: dafbr
676
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
677
 
678
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
679
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
680
        - Return correct path to package
681
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
682
 
683
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
684
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
685
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
686
 
687
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
688
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
689
      packages.
690
 
691
    * make command: show
692
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
693
      'jats make show' command.
694
 
695
    * Utility: create_dpkg
696
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
697
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
698
 
699
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
700
      executed on Unix machines.

736
 
737
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
738
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
739
 
740
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
741
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
742
      developers.

      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
769
      package version.
770
 
771
      Command specific help
772
      Each sub command now has its own help.

921
    * BuildPlatform
922
      New option: --NoToolSet
923

925
 
926
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
927
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
928
      need toolset specific information.
929
 
930
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
931
 
932

Minor changes:
1061
    * Jats label command
1062
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
1063
      Not recommended for general use.

      directories within the current view.
1066
 
1067
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
1068
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
1069
      elsewhere.
1070
 
1071
    * Jats save_build
1072
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1073
      the determination of a branch.
1074
 
1075
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1076
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1077
 
1078
    * Jats build
1079
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1080
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1081
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1082
 
1083
    * Borland6 toolset
1084
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1085
      to match the documented install location of:
1086
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1087
 
1088
    * Jats build
1089
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1090
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1091
      This is a very quick operation.
1092
 
1093
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1094
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1095
 
1096
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1097
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1098
      files are only recreated if need be.
1099
 
1100
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1101
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1102
      make the package.
1103
 
1104
    * Jats sandbox
1105
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1106
 
1107
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1108
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1109
 
1110
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1111
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1112
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1113
      is performed.
1114
 
1115
Internal:
1116
    * build.pl

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1153
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1154
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1155
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1156
 
1157
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1158
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1159
 
1160
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1161
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1162
      platform builds.
1163
 
1164
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in

      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1166
      directory tree.
1167

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1182
Major changes:
1183
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1184
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1185
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1186
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1187
 
1188
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1189
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1190
 
1191
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1192
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1193
 
1194
      Examples:
1195
            jats upddep -show
1196
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1197
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1198
 
1199
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1200
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1201
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1202
 
1203
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1204
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1205

      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1220
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1221
      stream.
1222
 
1223
      Example:
1224
 
1225
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1226
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1227
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1228
                     );
1229
Minor changes:
1230
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1231
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1232
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1233
      directive.
1234
 
1235
    * GCC Toolkit
1236
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1237
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1238
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1239
      the point of termination.
1240
 
1241
    * Jats save_build utility
1242
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1243
      under windows.
1244
 
1245
    * Jats sandbox
1246
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1247
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1248
      in different sandboxes.
1249
 
1250
    * Jats release
1251
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1252

1255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1256
Major changes:
1257
 
1258
Minor changes:
1259
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1260
      Added -locatedir=name
1261
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1262
      directory.
1263
 
1264
    * jats label utility
1265
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1266
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1267
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1268
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1269
 
1270
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
1271
 
1272

317 dpurdie 1273
Version:  2.83.0000.cr                               Released: 20-Jan-10
315 dpurdie 1274
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1275
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 1276
 
1277
Minor changes:
1278
    * WinCe Toolsets
1279
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1280
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1281
        noExceptions            - Disable
1282
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1283
      Example:
1284
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1285
 
1286
    * Solaris targets
1287
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1288
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1289
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1290
      machine type.
1291
 
1292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1293
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1295
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1296
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1297
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1298
      project files.
1299
 
1300
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1301
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1302
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1303
 
1304
Minor changes:
1305
    * Added more internal documentation
1306
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1307
 
1308
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1309
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1310
 
1311
    * Jats save_build utility
1312
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1313
      under windows.
1314
 
1315
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1316
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1317
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1318
      libraries.
1319
 
1320
    * Solaris builds
1321
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1322
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1323
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1324
      of the build failure.
1325
 
1326
 
1327
Internal changes:
1328
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1329
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1330
 
1331
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1332
      PkgArchive topics.

1336
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1337
Major changes:
1338
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1339
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1340
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1341
      existing 32-bit builds.
1342
 
1343
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1344
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1345
 
1346
Minor changes:
1347
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1348
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1349
 
1350
    * Package searching
1351
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1352
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1353
 
1354
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1355
 
1356
    * jats help
1357
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1358
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1359
 
1360
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1361
      with one of:
1362
        jats -h
1363
        jats help jats
1364
 
1365
Internal:
1366
    * cmdfile utility
1367
      Added macros:
1368
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1369
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1370
 
1371
      Corrected
1372
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1373
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1374
 
1375
      Extended
1376
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1377
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1378
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1379
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

1388
Internal changes
1389
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1390
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1391
      Useful side effects include:
1392
 
1393
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1394
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1395
 
1396
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1397
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1398
 
1399
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1400
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1401
        BuildPkgArchive
1402
 
313 dpurdie 1403
    * Perl Modules
1404
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1405
      release. This will:
1406
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1407
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1408
          reported by ERG.
1409
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
1417
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1418
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1419
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1420
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1421
 
1422
    * Jats label utility
1423
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1424
 
1425
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1426
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1427
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1428
 
1429
    * Jats core
1430
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1431
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1432
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1441
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1442
      This is now fixed.
1443
 
309 dpurdie 1444
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1445
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1446
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1447
 
1448
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1449
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
1450

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1457
    * Generating makefiles
1458
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1459
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1460
      an error.
1461
 
1462
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1463
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1464
 
1465
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1466
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 1467
      Refer the JATS Manual.

1472
Major changes:
1473
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1474
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1475
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1476
 
1477
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1478
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1479
 
1480
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1481
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1482
      Support includes
1483
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1484
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1485
 
1486
Minor changes:
1487
    * Build file processing
1488
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1489
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1490
 
1491
    * MOS builds
1492
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1493
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1494
 
1495
    * MOS builds
1496
      New 'known' product: PICP
1497
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1498
 
1499
    * GenerateFiles directive
1500
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1501
        under windows.
1502
 
1503
        .
1504
 
1505
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1506
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1507
 
1508
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1509
      to the output stream.
1510
 
1511
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1512
 
1513
    * Windows Shell
1514
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1515
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1516
 
1517
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1518
 
1519
    * H8S toolset
1520
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1521
 
1522
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1523
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1524
 
1525
Internal changes
1526
    * WinCe builds
1527
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1528
      content of the file.
1529
 
1530
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1531
 
1532
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1533
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1545
Major changes:
1546
 
1547
Minor changes:
1548
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1549
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1550
      Changes are transparent to users.
1551
 
1552
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1553
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1554
      this occurs.
1555
 
1556
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1557
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1558
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1559
      automated build framework.
1560
 
1561
    * jats sandbox command
1562
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1563
      'create' command.
1564
 
1565
    * jats command aliases. Added
1566
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1567
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
1568

1571
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1572
Major changes:
1573
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1574
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1575
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1576
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1577
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1578
      will work as expected
1579
 
1580
Minor changes:
1581
    * VS2008 Toolset
1582
      Picking up incorrect config details
1583
      May result in a warning message.
1584
 
1585
    * gen_cots utility
1586
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1587
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1588
 
1589
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1590
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
1591
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths
1592

1637
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1638
Major changes:
1639
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1640
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1641
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1642
 
1643
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1644
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1645
 
1646
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1647
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1648
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1649
           names cannot be changed.
1650
 
1651
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1652
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1653
 
1654
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1655
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1656
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1657
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1658
 
1659
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1660
      file.
1661
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1662
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1663
      MyPackage.dpk.
1664
 
1665
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1666
      file.
1667
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1668
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1669
      MyDll.dpr.
1670
 
1671
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1672
      file.
1673
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1674
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1675
      MyProg.dpr.
1676
 
1677
Minor changes:
1678
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1679
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1680
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1681
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1682
 
1683
    * BuildVersion directive
1684
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1685
      in a Delphi Unit.
1686
 
1687
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1688
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1689
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1690
      'know' the location of the files.
1691
 
1692
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
1693
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
1694
 
1695
Internal Changes:
1696
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
1697
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
1698
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
1699
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
1700
 
1701
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
1702
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
1703
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
1704

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
1707
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1708
Major changes:
1709
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
1710
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
1711
      information for purely C++ builds.
1712
 
289 dpurdie 1713
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
1714
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 1715
 
289 dpurdie 1716
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
1717
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
1718
            Manager
287 dpurdie 1719
 
1720
Minor changes:
1721
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
1722
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
1723
 
1724
    * updatenodespec utility
1725
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
1726

1763
    * New command: jats make show
1764
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
1765
      used in the build.
1766
 
1767
    * Escrow command
1768
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
1769
 
1770
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
1771
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
1772
      build files against the Release Manager information.
1773
 
1774
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
1775
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
1776
 
1777

277 dpurdie 1779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1780
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 1781
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 1782
 
279 dpurdie 1783
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
1784
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
1785
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 1786
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 1787
 
1788
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
1789
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
1790
 
1791
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
1792
 
1793
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
1794
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
1795
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
1796
 
1797
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
1798
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
1799
        processed.
1800
 
1801
      Removed the '-delete' option
1802
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
1803
 
277 dpurdie 1804
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 1805
    * Sandbox command
1806
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
1807
 
1808
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
1809
      target from consideration in the build set.
1810
 
1811
    * MCR Toolset
1812
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
1813
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
1814
 
1815
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
1816
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
1817
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
1818
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
1819
 
1820
    * Jats run_test command
1821
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
1822
      tests we run on a Window machine.
1823
 
1824
    * descpkg file
1825
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
1826
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
1827
 
1828
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
1829
     Now contains build trace information
1830
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
1831
 
1832
   * jats abt command simplified usage
1833
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
1834
     it contains 'jar' files.
1835
 
1836
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
1837
 
1838
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
1839
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
1840
 
1841
   * BuildVersion directive
1842
     Form:
1843
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
1844
     now works as expected.
1845
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
1846
 
1847
Internal Changes:
1848
 
1849
    * Error reporting mechanism
1850
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
1851
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
1852
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

1862
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
1863
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
1864
    then starts.
1865
 
1866
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
1867
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
1868
 
1869
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
1870
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
1871
    non-platform option.
1872
 
279 dpurdie 1873
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

1891
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
1892
 
1893
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
1894
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components

2012
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
2013
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool

2037
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
2038
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2039
 
2040
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

            --InstallProg=list
2049
 
2050
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
2051
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
2052
      GenerateCab.

2164
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
2165
 
2166
      Suggested new usage:
2167
        jats etool jats_save_build

2186
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
2187
      time.
2188
 
2189
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
2190
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

2206
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
2207
      Previously was being done at two places
2208
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
2209
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
2210
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
2211
 
2212
    * JATS make: Command line
2213
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
2214

2222
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
2223
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
2224
        + Consistent use of option parsing
2225

2248
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
2249
 
2250
    * FileUtils package.
2251
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.

2271
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2272
 
2273
Minor changes:

2285
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2286
 
2287
      New platforms:
2288
        CSHARP2005
2289
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2290
         Support extends to allow:
2291
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2292
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2293
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2294
 
2295
        VS2005
2296
         Support extends to allow:
2297
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2298
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2299
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2300
 
2301
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2302
      through a version selector:
2303
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2304
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2305
 
2306
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2307
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2308
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2309
 
2310
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2311
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2312
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2313
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2314
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2315
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2316
          under VS2005.
2317
 
2318
Minor changes:
2319
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
2320
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
2321
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
2322
 
2323
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2324
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2325
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2326
 
2327
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2328
 
2329
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2330
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2331
 
2332
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2333
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2334
      a minimal value of perl.
2335
 
2336
      Removed excessive require statements.
2337
 
2338
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2339
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2340
      Include JATS specific files for
2341
        1) Windows
2342
        2) Linux
2343
 
2344
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2345
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2346
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2347
      machines.
2348
 
2349
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2350
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2351
 
2352
    * JATS Environment
2353
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2354
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2355
 
2356
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2357
      wrapper scripts.
2358
 
2359
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2360
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2361
      Spell check help and code.

2390
      was added.
2391
 
2392
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
2393
      reviewing a new package.
2394
 
2395

2412
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
2413
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2414
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2415
  * New toolset and platform
2416
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2417
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2418
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2419
    this platform.
2420
 
2421
Minor changes:
2422
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2423
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2424
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2425
    work.
2426
 
2427
  * Jats utility: release
2428
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2429
    published to dpkg_archive.
2430
 
249 dpurdie 2431
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2432
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2433
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2434
    supported for ANT builds.
2435
 
2436
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2437
        releasemanager.releasename
2438
        releasemanager.projectname
2439
 
2440
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2441
    tagged data item of the form
2442
 
2443
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2444
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2445
 
2446
  * Mug File Generation
2447
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2448
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2449
 
2450
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2451
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2452
    required.
2453
 
2454
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2455
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2456
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2457
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2458
    the files in order to use them.
2459
 
2460
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2461
    locate the file.
2462
 
2463
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2464
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2465
 
2466
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2467
        * CSharp
2468
        * Properties
2469
        * WinRC
2470
 
2471
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2472
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2473
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2474
    Value is correctly assigned.
2475

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
2478
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2479
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2480
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2481
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2482
 
2483
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2484
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2485
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2486
 
2487
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2488
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2489
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2490
 
2491
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2492
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2493
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2494
 
2495
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2496
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2497
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2498
    correct.
2499
 
2500
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2501
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2502
 
2503
Minor changes:
2504
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2505
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2506
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2507
 
2508
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2509
    This will simplify new user setup.
2510
 
2511
  * All Unix Toolsets
2512
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2513
    on unix systems
2514
 
2515
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2516
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2517
    on some Solaris Machines.
2518
 
2519
  * JATS -version=<version>
2520
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2521
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2522

2540
 
2541
    * Readme.txt file
2542
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
2543
 
2544
    * Misc Cleanup
2545
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

2566
  * JATS builds
2567
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

2569
    mode.
2570
 
2571
  * JATS makefiles
2572
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2573
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2574
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2575
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 2723
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
2724
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
2725
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
2726
 
2727
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2728
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
2729
 
2730
    * Jats wrapper
2731
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
2732
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2737
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 2738
    * Jats Release Mechanism
2739
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
2740
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
2741
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
2742
 
2743
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
2744
 
2745
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
2746
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
2747
 
2748
    * Running Jats
2749
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
2750
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
2751
      This may affect some windows developers.
2752
 
2753
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
2754
      Future versions will generate an error.
2755
 
2756
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
2757
 
2758
Minor changes:
2759
    * Perl Version Check
2760
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
2761
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
2762
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
2763
 
2764
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
2765
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
2766
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
2767
      build.
2768
 
2769
    * Jats Internals
2770
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
2771
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
2772
 
2773
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
2774
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
2775
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
2776
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
2777
      process.
2778
 
2779
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
2780
      Only works under Windows.
2781
 
2782
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
2783
 
2784
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
2785
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
2786
 
2787
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2788
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
2789
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
2790
 
2791
    * Jats eprog
2792
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
2793
      directory.
2794
 
2795
    * jats tool jats_metrics
2796
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
2797
      build metrics.

2802
Major changes:
2803
 
2804
Minor changes:
2805
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
2806
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
2807
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
2808
      automated build system. New options are:
2809
        -pname=Package_Name
2810
        -pversion=Package_Version
2811
 
2812
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
2813
      transferring the package. New options are:
2814
        -test
2815
 
2816
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2817
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
2818
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
2819
 
2820
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
2821
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
2822
 
2823
    * Solaris Toolset
2824
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
2825
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
2826
      programs are still supported.

2831
Major changes:
2832
 
2833
Minor changes:
2834
    * WINCE toolsets
2835
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
2836
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
2837
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
2838
      when header files cannot be found.
2839
 
2840
    * GenerateFiles directive
2841
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
2842
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
2843
      that are difficult to solve.
2844
 
2845
    * MakePerlModule directive
2846
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
2847
      to the the module builder.
2848
 
2849
    * Jats Tool: label
2850
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
2851
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
2852
      -dirs=xxx options.
2853
 
2854
    * Jats Tool: release
2855
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
2856
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
2857
 
2858
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
2859
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
2860
 
2861
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2862
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
2863
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
2864
 
2865
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
2872
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
2873
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
2874
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
2875
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
2876
 
2877
Minor changes:
2878
    * label utility
2879
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
2880
 
2881
    * make package and install operations
2882
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
2883

2884
 
2885
    * make clean up
2886
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
2887
 
2888
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
2889
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
2890
      minor file transformations such as:
2891
        Copy, with optional rename
2892
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
2893
        Perform simple TAG replacement
2894
 
2895
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
2896
 
2897
    * jats release utility
2898
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
2899
      in place.
2900
 
2901
    * escrow utility
2902
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
2903
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
2911
    * Makefile generation
2912
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
2913
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
2914
      generate phase early.
2915
 
2916

2919
Major changes:
2920
 
2921
Minor changes:
2922
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
2923
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
2924
 
2925
    * Makefile generation
2926
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
2927
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
2928
 
2929
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
2930
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
2931
 
2932
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
2933
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
2934
      branch. The locks will be removed.
2935
 
2936
    * jats_rewrite utility
2937
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
2938
 
2939
    * jats escrow utility
2940
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
2941
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
2942
 
2943
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
2944
      inconsistent packages.
2945
 
2946
    * jats make help
2947
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
2948
      available within the current build.
2949
 
2950
    * jats makefiles
2951
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
2952
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
2953
 
2954
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
2955
      pl, then it will be ignored.
2956
 
2957
    * gcc toolset
2958
      SharedLibries.
2959
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
2960
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
2961
 
2962
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
2963
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
2964
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
2965
 
2966
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
2967
        New options:
2968
            --MultiScan
2969
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
2970
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
2971
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2977
Major changes:
2978
 
2979
Minor changes:
2980
    PackageLib directive
2981
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
2982
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
2983
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
2984
 
2985
    MakefileGenerate directive
2986
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
2987
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
2988
 
2989
    Multiple Parent detection
2990
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
2991
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
2992
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
2993
    condition will be treated as a warning.
2994
 
2995
    Solaris Toolset
2996
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
2997
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
2998
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
2999
    link.
3000
 
3001
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3002
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3003
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3004
 
3005
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3006
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3007
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3008
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3013
Major changes:
3014
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3015
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3016
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3017
 
3018
    Summary of changes:
3019
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3020
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3021
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3022
          flexibility.
3023
 
3024
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3025
 
3026
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3027
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3028
          interface directory and associated build information.
3029
 
3030
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3031
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3032
          than one second.
3033
 
3034
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3035
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3036
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3037
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3038
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3039
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3040
 
3041
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3042
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3043
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3044
 
3045
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3046
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3047
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3048
          building them.
3049
 
3050
        - Detection of build file changes
3051
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3052
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3053
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3054
 
3055
        - Quieter make output
3056
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3057
 
3058
 
3059
Minor changes:
3060
    MakeAnt Directive
3061
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3062
 
3063
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3064
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3065
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3066
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3067
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3068
 
3069
    CSHARP toolset
3070
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3071

Minor changes:
3078
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3079
    are generated.
3080
 
3081
    MakeAnt
3082
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3083
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3084
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3085
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3086
 
3087
    MCR platform
3088
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

3096
Minor changes:
3097
    MakeAnt directive extended
3098
    New option: --PackageBase
3099
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3100
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3101
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3102
 
3103
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3104
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3105
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3106
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
3126
 
3127
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3128
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3129
 
3130
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3131
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3132
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3133
 
3134
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3135
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3136
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3137
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

3166
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3167
 
3168
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3169
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3170
      last.
3171
 
3172
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3173
 
3174
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3175
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3176
 
3177
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3178
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3179
 
3180
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3181
 
3182
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3183
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3184
 
3185
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3186
 
3187
 
3188
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3189
           with the --System option
3190
 
3191
    * LMOS target platform
3192
      Includes LINUX_ETX
3193

3196
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3197
Major changes:
3198
 
3199
Minor changes:
3200
    * Solaris Toolset
3201
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3202
      dependent packages.
3203
 
3204
    * RunTest operation
3205
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3206
 
3207
    * Csharp toolkit
3208
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
3209

3211
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
3212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3213
Major changes:
3214
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3215
 
3216
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3217
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3218
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3219
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3220
      path.
3221
 
3222
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3223
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3224
      reproducible.
3225
 
3226
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3227
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3228
 
3229
      There are several aspects to the change
3230
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3231
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3232
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3233
 
3234
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3235
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3236
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3237
          controlled separately.
3238
 
3239
Minor changes:
3240
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3241
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3242
        Remove duplicates
3243
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3244
 
3245

3246
Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3247
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3248
Major changes:
3249
 
3250
Minor changes:
3251
    * Makefile sanity test
3252
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3253
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3254
 
3255
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3256
      x86 machine.
3257
 
3258
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3259
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3260
 
3261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3262
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3263
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3264
Major changes:
3265
    * RunTest directive
3266
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3267
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3268
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3269
 
3270
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3271
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3272
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3273
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3274
 
3275
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3276
        builder within the current toolset.
3277
 
3278
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3279
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3280
 
3281
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3282
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3283
      containing the RunTest directive.
3284
 
3285
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3286
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3287
 
3288
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3289
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3290
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3291
 
3292
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3293
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3294
                            P or D suffix.
3295
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3296
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3297
 
3298
Minor changes:
3299
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3300
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3301
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3302
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3303
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3304
 
3305
    * Save Build Utility
3306
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3307
      used in a ripple build.
3308
 
3309
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3310
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3311
 
3312
    * Release Utility
3313
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3314
      when an error is encountered.
3315
 
3316
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3317
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3318
 
3319
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3320
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3321
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3322
 
3323
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3324
      before the makefiles are created.
3325
 
3326
    * TestProg directive
3327
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3328
 
3329
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3330
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3331

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3335
Major changes:
3336
    * New build target
3337
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3338
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3339
 
3340
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3341
            DEVLINUX
3342
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3343
 
3344
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3345
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3346
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3347
 
3348
Minor changes:
3349
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3350
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3351
 
3352
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3353
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3354
 
3355
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3356
      and .cs files.
3357
 
3358
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3359
      thing.
3360
 
3361
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3362
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3363
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3364
      were it places temp files.
3365
 
3366
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3367
      interaction with other builds.
3368
 
3369
    * Release utility command
3370
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3371
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3372
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
3380
 
3381
    Supports the handling of .resx files
3382
 
3383
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
3384
    libraries
3385
 
3386
Minor changes:
3387
  * Unit Tests
3388
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3389
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3390
 
3391
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
3392
    as a Script.

  * WINCE Support
3424
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3425
 
3426
  * Removed the following targets
3427
        TP5600
3428
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3429
        TP5600_EMU
3430
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3431
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3432
 
3433
  * Deployment
3434
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3435
 
3436
  * build.pl
3437
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3438
 
3439
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3440
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3441
 
3442
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3443
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3444
    build.
3445
 
3446
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3447
 
3448
  * Tool: escrow
3449
     New features
3450
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3451
     are not in the SBOM.
3452
 
3453
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3454
 
3455
     Specify packages to be ignored.

3459
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3460
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3461
Major changes:
3462
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3463
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3464
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3465
 
3466
  * GenerateFiles
3467
    Added the options:
3468
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3469
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3470
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3471
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3472
 
3473
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3474
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3475
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3476
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3477
                                  required.
3478
 
3479
 
3480
Minor changes:
3481
  * GenerateFile directive
3482
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3483
 
3484
  * GCC Toolset
3485
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3486
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3487
    be rebuilt.
3488
 
3489
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3490
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3491
 
3492
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3493
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3494
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3495
Major changes:
3496
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3497
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3498
    environment variables.
3499
 
3500
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3501
            moved.
3502
 
3503
    This will affect users that:
3504
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3505
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3506
 
3507
        2) Use the ABT system
3508
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3509
           the required configuration
3510
 
3511
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3512
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3513
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3514
    Windows
3515
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3516
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3517
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3518
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3519
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3520
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3521
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3522
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3523
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3524
 
3525
 
3526
  * New build platforms
3527
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3528
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3529
 
3530
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3531
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3532
 
3533
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3534
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3535
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3536
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3537
 
3538
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3539
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3540
    release.
3541
 
3542
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3543
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3544
 
3545
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3546
    need to be converted.
3547
 
3548
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3549
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3550
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3551
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3552
    used for different targets platforms.
3553
 
3554
  * Sandbox support
3555
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3556
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3557
 
3558
    New command: jats sandbox ...
3559
 
3560
Minor changes:
3561
 
3562
 
3563
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3564
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
3565
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3566
Major changes:
3567
  * MakeAnt directive
3568
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3569
 
3570
    New options
3571
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3572
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3573
 
3574
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3575
    run_unit_tests phase.
3576
 
3577
  * Sandbox support
3578
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3579
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3580
 
3581
Minor changes:
3582
  * jats build
3583
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3584
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3585
 
3586
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3587
 
3588
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3589
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3590
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3591
 
3592
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3593
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3594
 
3595
  * JATS.BAT
3596
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3597
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3598
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3599
 
3600
  * jats label
3601
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3602
 
3603
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3604
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3605
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3606
Major changes:
3607
  * New build platform:
3608
        LMOS_TP5600
3609
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3610
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3611
 
3612
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3613
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3614
    describe the group of platforms.
3615
 
3616
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3617
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3618
    build these targets.
3619
 
3620
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3621
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3622
 
3623
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3624
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3625
 
3626
  * New build platform: WINCE
3627
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3628
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3629
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3630
 
3631
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3632
            WCEIT3000
3633
            WCEPA961
3634
            WCEPA962
3635
            WCEPCM7220
3636
            WCEPSION_420
3637
            WCEPSPC_arm
3638
            WCEPSPC_emu
3639
            WCEX86A420
3640
            WCEX86A500
3641
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
3642
 
3643
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3644
 
3645
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3646
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3647
    that contain packaging directives.
3648
 
3649
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3650
    very unusual configurations.
3651
 
3652
Minor changes:
3653
  * Directive: PackageFile
3654
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3655
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3656
    an '='.
3657
 
3658
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3659
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3660
 
3661
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3662
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3663
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3664
 
3665
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3666
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3667
 
3668
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3669
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3670
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3671
Major changes:
3672
 
3673
  * JATS release command
3674
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3675
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3676
 
3677
    Rules are:
3678
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3679
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3680
                            File will be placed on a branch
3681
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3682
                            New directory will branch
3683
 
3684
Minor changes:
3685
  * JATS release command
3686
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3687
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3688
 
3689
  * JATS label command
3690
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
3691
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
3692
 
3693
  * JATS make
3694
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
3695
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
3696
    was re-packaged.
3697
 
3698
  * JATS escrow
3699
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
3700
    Use jats escrow -help for details
3701
 
3702
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
3703
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
3704
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
3705
 
3706
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
3707
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
3708
    interface directory.
3709
 
3710
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
3711
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
3712
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
3713
    directory as seen by the package.
3714
 
3715
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
3716
 
3717
  * JAVA 6
3718
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
3719
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
3720
 
3721
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
3722
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
3723
 
3724
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
3725
 
3726
  * Jats command: vars
3727
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
3728
    These indicate potential problems.
3729
 
3730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3731
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
3732
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3733
Major changes:
3734
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
3735
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
3736
    libarry is also created.
3737
 
3738
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
3739
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
3740
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
3741
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
3742
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
3743
    information contained within the file.
3744
 
3745
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
3746
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
3747
 
3748
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
3749
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
3750
 
3751
  * Building Perl Modules
3752
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
3753
    documentation on the build machine.
3754
 
3755
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
3756
 
3757
Minor changes:
3758
  * jats create_dpkg
3759
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
3760
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
3761
 
3762
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3763
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
3764
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3765
Major changes:
3766
  * JATS JAVA build target
3767
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
3768
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
3769
 
3770
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
3771
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
3772
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
3773
    is then picked up as the default version.
3774
 
3775
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
3776
    build.pl file.
3777
 
3778
Minor changes:
3779
  * jats release
3780
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
3781
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
3782
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
3783
 
3784
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
3785
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
3786
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
3787
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
3788
    the name of the view.
3789
 
3790
  * GenerateFiles directive
3791
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
3792
 
3793
  * MOS Toolset
3794
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
3795
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
3796
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
3797
 
3798
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
3799
 
3800
 
3801
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3802
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
3803
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3804
Major changes:
3805
 
3806
Minor changes:
3807
  * JATS environment
3808
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
3809
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
3810
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
3811
 
3812
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
3813
 
3814
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
3815
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
3816
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
3817
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
3818
    to be packaged.
3819
 
3820
  * Generated makefiles
3821
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
3822
 
3823
  * Generating MOS THX files
3824
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
3825
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
3826
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
3827
 
3828
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
3829
 
3830
  * JATS release
3831
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
3832
 
3833
  * JATS extract
3834
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
3835
 
3836
  * JATS Toolset
3837
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
3838
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
3839
 
3840
 
3841
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3842
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
3843
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3844
Major changes:
3845
 
3846
Minor changes:
3847
  * jats label
3848
    Added a -vob=name option
3849
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
3850
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
3851
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
3852
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
3853
 
3854
    Added a -user=name option
3855
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
3856
    label to the named user.
3857
 
3858
  * jats release
3859
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
3860
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
3861
 
3862
  * JATS build.pl
3863
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
3864
    ie:
3865
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
3866
 
3867
 
3868
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3869
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
3870
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3871
Major changes:
3872
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
3873
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
3874
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
3875
    the makefile internals. ie:
3876
        --Var(BuildName)
3877
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
3878
        -BuildName=MyPackage
3879
 
3880
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
3881
 
3882
  * GenerateFiles
3883
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
3884
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
3885
 
3886
  * BuildPlatforms
3887
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
3888
 
3889
Minor changes:
3890
  * GCC Toolset
3891
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
3892
 
3893
Internal changes:
3894
  * GenerateFiles
3895
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
3896
 
3897
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
3898
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
3899
 
3900
 
3901
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3902
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
3903
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3904
Major changes:
3905
  * Caching JATS
3906
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
3907
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
3908
 
3909
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
3910
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
3911
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
3912
 
3913
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
3914
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
3915
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
3916
 
3917
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
3918
 
3919
Minor changes:
3920
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
3921
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
3922
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
3923
 
3924
  * jats build
3925
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
3926
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
3927
    processed by the build.
3928
 
3929
  * jats build
3930
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
3931
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
3932
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
3933
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
3934
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
3935
 
3936
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
3937
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
3938
    Path is not specified.
3939
 
3940
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
3941
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
3942
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
3943
        --Dir=$Pinc
3944
    but $Pinc is not defined.
3945
 
3946
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
3947
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
3948
    Windows platform.
3949
 
3950
        - OPTIONS=purecov
3951
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
3952
            by 'purecov.
3953
 
3954
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3955
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
3956
 
3957
        - OPTIONS=purify
3958
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3959
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
3960
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
3965
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3966
Major changes:
3967
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
3968
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
3969
    Example:
3970
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
3971
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
3972
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
3973
 
3974
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
3975
    been determined.
3976
 
3977
Minor changes:
3978
  * Added the ScanList directive.
3979
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
3980
    located at build-time.
3981
 
3982
  * Unix based systems
3983
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
3984
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
3985
 
3986
  * MakeLinuxDriver
3987
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
3988
    driver being built.

    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
4019
 
4020
    GenerateFiles.
4021
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4022
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4023
                      be run on every invocation.
4024
 
4025
 
4026

  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4035
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4036
 
4037
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4038
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4039
 
4040

4049
  * SunWorks Toolset
4050
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4051
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4052
    It is based on machine type.
4053
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4054
 
4055
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4056
 
4057
Minor changes:
4058

4081
    field separator.
4082
 
4083
  * JATS eprog command
4084
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4085
 
4086
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4087
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4088
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4089
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4090
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4091
 
4092
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4093
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4094
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4095
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4096
 
4097
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4098
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
4099

    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
4110
 
4111
 
4112
Minor changes:
4113
  * JATS wrapper script
4114
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4115
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4116
    to setup links to system programs.
4117

4137
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4138
    Added CompileOptions
4139
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4140
        no_misalign         - Default
4141
 
4142
        multithread         - Default
4143
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
4144
 
4145
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4146
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
4147
 
4148

        debug_debuginfo
4157
 
4158
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4159
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4160
    Theses are:
4161
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4162
        SOLARIS_AMD
4163
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4164
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4165
 
4166
Minor changes:
4167
  * AT3232 toolset
4168
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
4169
 
4170
  * Jats build

4177
Major changes:
4178
 
4179
Minor changes:
4180
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4181
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4182
    messages
4183
 
4184
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4185
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4186
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4187
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4188
 
4189
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4190

4191
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4192
Major changes:
4193
 
4194
Minor changes:
4195
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4196
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4197
    library without creating the body of the library:
4198
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4199
 
4200
 
4201
  * MOS toolsets
4202
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4203
    library without creating the body of the library:
4204
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4205
 
4206
  * JATS BIN directories
4207
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4208
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4209
    using autoconf.
4210
 
4211
  * Generate directive
4212
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4213
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4214
 
4215
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4216

Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4220
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4221
Major changes:
4222
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4223
    Initial release.
4224
 
4225
Minor changes:
4226

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4229
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4231
Major changes:
4232
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4233
    Initial release.
4234
 
4235
  * Packaging directives
4236
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4237
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4238
 
4239
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4240
        SOLARIS
4241
        WIN32
4242
 
4243
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4244
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4245
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4246
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4247
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4248
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4249
 
4250
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4251
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4252
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4253
 
4254
 
4255
Minor changes:
4256
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4257
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4258
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4259
 
4260
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4261
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4262
    location
4263
 
4264
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4265
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4266
 
4267
  * Utility genrc
4268
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4269
 
4270
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4271
    Added option: -new
4272
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4273
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4274
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4275
 
4276
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4277
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4278
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4279
 
4280
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4281
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4282
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4283
 
4284
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4285
   features - in a uniform manner.
4286
 
4287
 
4288
Internal Changes:
4289
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4290
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4291
 
4292
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4293
        1) Platform information available at build time
4294
        2) Dynamic platform names
4295
 
4296
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4297
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4298
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4299
 
4300
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4301
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4302
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4303
 
4304
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4305
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4306
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4307
    needed.
4308
 
4309
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4310
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4311
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4312
    files from all of these.
4313

4315
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

4317
Major changes:
4318
 
4319
Minor changes:
4320
  * WinCE toolset
4321
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4322
 
4323
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4324
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4325
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4326
Major changes:
4327
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4328
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4329
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4330
 
4331
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4332
 
4333
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4334
    the operations.
4335
 
4336
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4337
 
4338
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4339
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4340
 
4341
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4342
 
4343
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4344
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4345
 
4346
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4347
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4348
    Extended the built-in help
4349
    Added useful error messages
4350
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4351
 
4352
  * WinCE toolset
4353
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4354
 
4355
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4356
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4357
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4358
 
4359
Minor changes:
4360
  * JATS wrapper script
4361
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4362
    the command line.
4363
 
4364
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4365
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4366
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4367
 
4368
Internal Changes:
4369
  * Common Error Reporting
4370
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4371
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4372
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4373
    level.
4374
 
4375
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4376
    displayed.
4377
 
4378
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4379
 
4380
  * Added JatsSystem module
4381
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4382

4385
Major changes:
4386
 
4387
Minor changes:
4388
  * BR Compiler toolset
4389
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4390
    .def files to include other files.
4391
 
4392
  * IAR toolset
4393
    Added AT7272 support
4394
 
4395
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4396
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4397
 
4398
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4399
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4400
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4401
Major changes:
4402
 
4403
Minor changes:
4404
  * BR Compiler toolset
4405
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4406
    use.
4407
 
4408
 
4409
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4410
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4411
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4412
Major changes:
4413
 
4414
Minor changes:
4415
  * Mictotec toolset
4416
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4417
    builds.
4418
 
4419
  * JATS Core
4420
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4421
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4422
    behaviour.
4423
 
4424
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4425
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4426
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4427
Major changes:
4428
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4429
    Deployment package will be affected.
4430
 
4431
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4432
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4433
 
4434
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4435
 
4436
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4437
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4438
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4439
    packages.
4440
 
4441
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4442
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4443
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4444
 
4445
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4446
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4447
 
4448
Minor changes:
4449
  * SubDir directive
4450
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4451
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4452
 
4453
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4454
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4455
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4456
    of the file usage.
4457
 
4458
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4459
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4460
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4461
 
4462
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4463
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4464
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4465
 
4466
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4467
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4468
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4469
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4470
 
4471
 
4472
Internal Changes:
4473
  * Code refactor
4474
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4475
 
4476
  * Deployment utilities
4477
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4478
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4479
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4480
    the module can locate the file.
4481
 
4482
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4483
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4484
 
4485
  * JATS core
4486
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4487
 
4488
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4489
 
4490
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4491
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4492
    through the use of environment variables.
4493
 
4494
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4495
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4496
 
4497
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4498
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4499
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4500
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4501
 
4502
  * Make environment
4503
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4504
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4505
 
4506
 
4507
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4508
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4509
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4510
Major changes:
4511
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4512
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4513
 
4514
 
4515
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4516
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4517
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4518
 
4519
Not Released.
4520
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4521
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4522
 
4523
 
4524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4525
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4527
Major changes:
4528
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4529
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4530
    radically replaced.
4531
 
4532
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4533
    Usage:
4534
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4535
 
4536
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4537
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4538
    this solution:
4539
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4540
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4541
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4542
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4543
 
4544
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4545
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4546
    order to work.
4547
 
4548
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4549
    reduced functionality.
4550
 
4551
 
4552
Minor changes:
4553
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4554
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4555
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4556
 
4557
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4558
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4559
    within the makefiles.
4560
        Options:
4561
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4562
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4563
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4564
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4565
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4566
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4567
        Useage:
4568
 
4569
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4570
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4571
 
4572
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4573
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4574
    is not in the current directory.
4575
 
4576
  * Jats Command: ant'
4577
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4578
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4579
 
4580
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4581
 
4582
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4583
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4584
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4585
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4586
 
4587
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4588
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4589
    Thus
4590
 
4591
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4592
 
4593
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4594
 
4595
 
4596
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4597
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4599
Major changes:
4600
 
4601
Minor changes:
4602
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4603
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4604
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4605
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4606
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4607
 
4608
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4609
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4610
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4611
 
4612
Internal changes:
4613
  * JATS toolsets
4614
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4615
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4616
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4617
 
4618
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4619
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4620
 
4621
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4622
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4623
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4624
Major changes:
4625
  * Jats command: etool
4626
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4627
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4628
 
4629
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4630
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4631
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4632
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4633
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4634
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4635
 
4636
Minor changes:
4637
 
4638
 
4639
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4640
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4641
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4642
Major changes:
4643
  * JATS environment variables
4644
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4645
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4646
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4647
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4648
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4649
 
4650
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4651
              Remote repository
4652
 
4653
    Added GBE_DPLY
4654
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4655
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4656
 
4657
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4658
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4659
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4660
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4661
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4662
 
4663
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4664
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4665
 
4666
 
4667
Minor changes:
4668
  * JATS utility: build
4669
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4670
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4671
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4672
 
4673
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4674
    Ensure label is not locked
4675
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4676
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4677
 
4678
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4679
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4680
    to a specific type of build.
4681
 
4682
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
4683
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
4684
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
4685
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
4686
 
4687
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
4688
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
4689
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
4690
 
4691
  * JATS utility: release
4692
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
4693
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
4694
 
4695
  * JATS utility: label
4696
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
4697
    when it is being created.
4698
 
4699
Internal Changes
4700
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
4701
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
4702
 
4703
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
4704
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
4705
 
4706
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
4707
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
4708
    different results.
4709
 
4710
  * ToolsetRequire directive
4711
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
4712
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
4713
 
4714
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4715
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
4716
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4717
Major changes:
4718
 
4719
  * MCR toolset
4720
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
4721
 
4722
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4723
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
4724
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4725
Major changes:
4726
  * WIN32 utilities
4727
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
4728
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
4729
 
4730
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
4731
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
4732
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
4733
 
4734
Minor changes:
4735
  * BuildVersion
4736
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
4737
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
4738
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
4739
 
4740
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
4741
 
4742
  * Unix Builds
4743
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
4744
    library or a shared library.
4745
 
4746
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
4747
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
4748
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
4749
    start with 'lib'.
4750
 
4751
  * BuildPkgArchive
4752
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
4753
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
4754
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
4755
 
4756
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4757
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
4758
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4759
Major changes:
4760
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4761
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
4762
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
4763
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
4764
    being manually maintained.
4765
 
4766
 
4767
Minor changes:
4768
  * MakeAnt directive
4769
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
4770
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
4771
    supports ANT builds.
4772
 
4773
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4774
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
4775
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
4776
 
4777
  * Label utility
4778
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
4779
    files to be labeled.
4780
 
4781
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
4782
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
4783
    on Solaris.
4784
 
4785
  * Generated makefiles
4786
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
4787
    nothing.
4788
 
4789
  * MOS Toolset
4790
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
4791
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
4792
    modules.
4793
 
4794
  * Utility: gen_cots
4795
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
4796
    and then check it in under clearcase.
4797
 
4798
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
4799
 
4800
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
4801
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
4802
 
4803

4804
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
4805
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4806
Major changes:
4807
  None
4808
 
4809
Minor changes:
4810
  * DEVI addressed
4811
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
4812
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
4813
 
4814
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
4815
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
4816
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
4817
 
4818
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
4819
 
4820
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
4821
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
4822
 
4823
  * RunTest directive
4824
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
4825
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
4826
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
4827
 
4828
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
4829
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
4830
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
4831
    packaged under JATS
4832
 
4833
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
4834
          supported within JATS.
4835
 
4836
  * Jats utility wrapper
4837
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
4838
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
4839
 
4840
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
4841
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
4842
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
4843
 
4844
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
4845
    Eg: jats ant
4846
 
4847
  * Jats utility wrapper
4848
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
4849
 
4850
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
4851
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
4852
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
4853
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
4854
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
4855
 
4856
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
4857
    expect a build.pl file.
4858
 
4859
  * Jats utility wrapper
4860
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
4861
 
4862
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
4863
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
4864
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
4865
 
4866
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
4867
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
4868
 
4869
  * Build files
4870
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
4871
    ERG extensions.
4872
 
4873
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4874
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
4875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4876
Major changes:
4877
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
4878
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
4879
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
4880
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
4881
 
4882
    This may cause module validation to fail.
4883
 
4884
Minor changes:
4885
  * None
4886
 
4887
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4888
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
4889
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4890
Major changes:
4891
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
4892
    Added option --Uses=NAME
4893
    ie:
4894
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
4895
 
4896
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
4897
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
4898
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
4899
    environments are compatible.
4900
 
4901
 
4902
Minor changes:
4903
  * BuildName option
4904
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
4905
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
4906
 
4907
  * jats.bat
4908
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
4909
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
4910
 
4911
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4912
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
4913
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4914
Major changes:
4915
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4916
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
4917
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
4918
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
4919
 
4920
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
4921
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
4922
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
4923
 
4924
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
4925
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
4926
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
4927
 
4928
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
4929
    transferred.
4930
 
4931
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
4932
    See notes below.
4933
 
4934
  * WIN32 toolset
4935
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
4936
    correctly.
4937
 
4938
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
4939
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
4940
 
4941
  * BuildVersion
4942
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
4943
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
4944
    other langauges as needed.
4945
 
4946
 
4947
Minor changes:
4948
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
4949
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
4950
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
4951
    version strings.
4952
 
4953
  * GenerateFiles directive
4954
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
4955
    package or an imported package.
4956
 
4957
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
4958
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
4959
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
4960
 
4961
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
4962
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
4963
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
4964
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
4965
    makefiles and strange error messages.
4966
 
4967
Internal Changes
4968
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
4969
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
4970
    of utilities.
4971
 
4972
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
4973
    functions.
4974
 
4975
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4976
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
4977
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4978
Major changes:
4979
  * Generated makefiles
4980
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
4981
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
4982
    that sed did not process its arguments.
4983
 
4984
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
4985
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
4986
    incorrectly processing:
4987
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
4988
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
4989
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
4990
    confused.
4991
 
4992
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
4993
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
4994
    The construct
4995
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
4996
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
4997
    then it works.
4998
 
4999
  * MakeAnt directive
5000
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5001
 
5002
    This option has the following effects
5003
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5004
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5005
 
5006
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5007
           early - in the generated files phase.
5008
 
5009
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5010
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5011
 
5012
 
5013
Minor changes:
5014
  * JATS post-installation script
5015
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5016
 
5017
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5018
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5019
    windows.
5020
 
5021
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5022
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5023
 
5024
  * Jats wrapper script
5025
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5026
        1) Contain spaces
5027
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5028
 
5029
  * Toolset
5030
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5031
 
5032
  * JAVA toolset
5033
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5034
    directive:
5035
 
5036
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5037
 
5038
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5039
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5040
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5041
 
5042
  * GCC Toolset
5043
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5044
 
5045
  * Makefile generation
5046
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5047
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5048
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5049
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5050
    package could not be used.
5051
 
5052
  * Unit Tests
5053
    The following environment variables are set:
5054
 
5055
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5056
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
5057
 
5058
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5059
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5060
 
5061
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5062
 
5063
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5064
 
5065
 
5066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5067
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5069
Major changes:
5070
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5071
 
5072
    Special features of this toolset.
5073
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5074
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5075
       incorporated within the target image.
5076
 
5077
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5078
       --Set=Name=Value
5079
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5080
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5081
 
5082
       --Ref=name
5083
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5084
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5085
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5086
                will be taken from the build version number.
5087
 
5088
Minor changes:
5089
  * MOS Toolset
5090
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5091
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5092
    packaged.
5093
 
5094
  * Src directive
5095
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5096
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5097
    specifier.
5098
 
5099
  * WIN32 runtime support
5100
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5101
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5102
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5103
 
5104
Internal:
5105
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5106
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5107
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5108
 
5109
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5110
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5111
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5112
Major changes:
5113
    * BuildAlias directive
5114
      Added options.
5115
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5116
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5117
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5118
                          targets.
5119
      Eg:
5120
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5121
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5122
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5123
 
5124
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5125
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5126
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5127
 
5128
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5129
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5130
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5131
 
5132
 
5133
Minor changes:
5134
  * Label utility
5135
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5136
    build.pl file
5137
 
5138
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5139
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5140
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5141
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5142
    --FilterIn option.
5143
 
5144
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5145
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5146
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5147
 
5148
  * Location of descpkg file
5149
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5150
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5151
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5152
 
5153
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5154
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5155
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5156
Major changes:
5157
  * RunTest directive
5158
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5159
    Additional options
5160
      --CopyIn=file
5161
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5162
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5163
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5164
        the test area.
5165
 
5166
    Additional operations
5167
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5168
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5169
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5170
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5171
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5172
    Allows flags:
5173
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5174
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5175
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5176
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5177
 
5178
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5179
    existence is tested.
5180
 
5181
  * Packaging Directives
5182
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5183
    such as LMOS.
5184
 
5185
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5186
 
5187
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5188
 
5189
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5190
 
5191
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5192
 
5193
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5194
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5195
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5196
 
5197
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5198
 
5199
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5200
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5201
 
5202
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5203
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5204
 
5205
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5206
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5207
 
5208
Minor changes:
5209
  * Script directive
5210
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5211
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5212
 
5213
  * JATS environment
5214
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5215
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5216
    the JATS wrapper script.
5217
 
5218
  * Label utility
5219
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5220
    There are three modes of operation:
5221
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5222
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5223
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5224

5227
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5229
Major changes:
5230
 
5231
Minor changes:
5232
  * label utility
5233
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5234
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5235
 
5236
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5237
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5238
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5239
      --ProgLoader=name
5240
 
5241
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5242
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5243
    Options to do this are:
5244
        --TreeDir=name
5245
        --FilterOut=regexp
5246
        --FilterIn=regexp
5247
        --StripDir
5248
 
5249
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5250
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5251
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5252
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5253
 
5254
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5255
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5256
 
5257
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5258
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5259
 
5260
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5261
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5262
 
5263
 
5264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5265
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5267
Major changes:
5268
    * Make commands
5269
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5270
 
5271
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5272
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5273
 
5274
    * Label utility
5275
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5276
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5277
 
5278
Minor changes:
5279
    * Toolsets
5280
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5281
      variables and overrides.
5282
 
5283
      The make_init target is always run.
5284
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5285
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5286
 
5287
    * Deployment
5288
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5289
      with deployment operations.
5290
 
5291
    * Release utility
5292
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5293
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5294
      restricted by options within the build.
5295
 
5296
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5297
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5298
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5299
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5300
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5301
 
5302
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5303
      directives.
5304
 
5305
    * MakeProject directive
5306
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5307
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5308
 
5309
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5310
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5311
      is preserved.
5312
 
5313
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5314
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5315
      statements.
5316
 
5317
    * Mugfile generation
5318
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5319
      be placed in the target package.
5320
 
5321
 
5322
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5323
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5324
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5325
Major changes:
5326
    * BuildVersion directive
5327
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5328
      number as well as a patch number.
5329
 
5330
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5331
      number.
5332
 
5333
Minor changes:
5334
    * AddFlags directives
5335
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5336
      duplicate flags being added.
5337
 
5338
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5339
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5340
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5341
 
5342
    * Mug File Generation
5343
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5344
 
5345
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5346
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5347
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5348
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5349
     directory.
5350
 
5351
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5352
     reproducible.
5353
 
5354
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5355
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5356
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5357
Major changes:
5358
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5359
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5360
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5361
      longer a list of directories.
5362
 
5363
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5364
      done within the toolset.
5365
 
5366
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5367
 
5368
    * JATS environment variables
5369
      Redefined variable
5370
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5371
                          Previously was a list that included the
5372
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5373
 
5374
      New variable
5375
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5376
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5377
 
5378
 
5379
Minor changes:
5380
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5381
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5382
      target platforms to be extracted.
5383
 
5384
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5385
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5386
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5387
 
5388
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5389
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5390
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5391
 
5392
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5393
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5394
 
5395
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5396
      Support ANT based XML files
5397
 
5398
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5399
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5400
      structure.
5401
 
5402
    * makefile.pl's
5403
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5404
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5405
 
5406
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5407
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5408
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5409
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5410
 
5411
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5412
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5413
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5414
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5415
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5416
      -- Auto.
5417
 
5418
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5419
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5420
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5421
 
5422
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5423
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5424
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5425
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5426
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5427
 
5428
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5429
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5430
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5431
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5432
      installed on the machine.
5433
 
5434
    * WINCE Targets
5435
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5436
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5437
 
5438

5441
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5442
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5443
Major changes:
5444
    * WIN32 platforms
5445
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5446
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5447
      and installed packages.
5448
 
5449
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5450
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5451
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5452
 
5453
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5454
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5455
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5456
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5457
      searched when looking for libraries.
5458
 
5459
Minor changes:
5460
    * GenerateFiles directive
5461
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5462
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5463
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5464
                          and drive letter
5465
 
5466
    * Src directive
5467
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5468
      directory of a package.
5469
 
5470
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5471
 
5472
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5473
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5474
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5475
 
5476
    * jats_rewrite utility
5477
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5478
 
5479
 
5480
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5481
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5482
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5483
Major changes:
5484
    * SunWorks production builds
5485
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5486
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5487
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5488
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5489
      compiler documentation.
5490
 
5491
    * MOS Toolset
5492
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5493
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5494
 
5495
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5496
 
5497
Minor changes:
5498
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5499
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5500
      This should not affect current users.
5501
 
5502
    * Mugfile generation
5503
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5504
      specified.
5505
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5506

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5509
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5510
Major changes:
5511
    MOS Toolset
5512
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5513
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5514
 
5515
Minor changes:
5516
    * Jats wrapper script
5517
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5518
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5519
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5520
 
5521
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5522
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5523
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5524
      may be suspect.
5525
 
5526
    * GenerateFiles directive
5527
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5528
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5529
 
5530
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5531
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5532
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5533
Major changes:
5534
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5535
      build.xml files.
5536
 
5537
Minor changes:
5538
    * WIN32 toolset.
5539
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5540
 
5541
    * MakeAnt
5542
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5543
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5544
 
5545
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5546
 
5547
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5548
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5549
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5550
 
5551
    * MakeAnt directive
5552
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5553
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5554
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5555
 
5556
      Recommended usage:
5557
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5558
 
5559
Internal Changes
5560
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

5566
Major changes:
5567
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5568
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5569
      files packaged into the release.

5575
 
5576
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5577
      The recommended platform is:
5578
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5579
 
5580
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5581
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5582
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5583
      components.

    * Support for Windows DLLs
5592
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5593
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5594
      by the package to be accessed.
5595
 
5596
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5597
      application or visual studio.
5598
 
5599
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5600
      and the JATS Core path.
5601
 
5602
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5603
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5604
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5605
 
5606
    * MOS Toolset
5607
      Add support for the TPT device
5608
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5609
 
5610
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5611
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5612
 
5613
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5614
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5615
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5616
 
5617
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5618
 
5619
Internal Changes
5620
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5621
      in jats.pl
5622
 
5623
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5624
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5625
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5626
Major changes:
5627
    * JATS wrapper script
5628
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5629
 
5630
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5631
 
5632
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5633
 
5634
Minor changes:
5635
    * Deployment support
5636
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5637
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5638
 
5639
    * 'build'
5640
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5641
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5642
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5643
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5644
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5645
 
5646
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5647
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5648
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5649
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5650
                                      the link phase.
5651
 
5652
    * BuildPkgArchive
5653
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5654
      Previously these were ignored.
5655
      Minor code cleanup
5656
 
5657
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5658
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5659
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5660
 
5661
    * SOLARIS targets
5662
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5663
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5664
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5665
 
5666
    * MugFile generation
5667
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5668
      included in the final package.
5669
 
5670
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5671
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5672
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5673
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5674
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5675
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5676
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5677
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5678
 
5679
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5680
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5681
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5682
            --Option=(some_text)
5683
            --Option=[some_text]
5684
            --Option={some_text}
5685
 
5686
Internal Changes
5687
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5688
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5689
      code.
5690
 
5691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5692
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
5693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5694
Major changes:
5695
    * JATS wrapper script
5696
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
5697
 
5698
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
5699
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
5700
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
5701
      other components.
5702
 
5703
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
5704
 
5705
    * JATS
5706
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
5707
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
5708
 
5709
    * Build operations
5710
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
5711
      if required packages are built against different versions of
5712
      packages.
5713
 
5714
    * Make operations
5715
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
5716
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
5717
 
5718
Minor changes:
5719
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
5720
      deployment builds.
5721
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
5722
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
5723
 
5724
      Extended the "jats vars" display
5725
 
5726
    * build.pl
5727
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
5728
        processed. Allows
5729
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
5730
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
5731
        production.
5732
 
5733
    * MOS toolset
5734
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
5735
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
5736
 
5737
    * create_dpkg utility
5738
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
5739
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
5740
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
5741
      progress of the build.
5742
 
5743
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
5744
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
5745
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
5746
      system.
5747
 
5748
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5749
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
5750
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5751
Major changes:
5752
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5753
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
5754
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
5755
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
5756
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
5757
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
5758
 
5759
    * WCEX86A500 target
5760
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
5761
 
5762
    * MOS Toolsets
5763
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
5764
      the compiler.
5765
 
5766
    * RunTest directive
5767
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
5768
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
5769
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
5770
 
5771
Minor changes:
5772
    * JATS BUILD
5773
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
5774
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
5775
      highlight bad settings.
5776
 
5777
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
5778
      access to extensions.
5779
 
5780
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5781
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
5782
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5783
Major changes:
5784
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5785
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
5786
 
5787
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
5788
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
5789
      under unix.
5790
 
5791
Minor changes:
5792
    * label utility
5793
      Added options to:
5794
        o Delete a label
5795
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
5796
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
5797
 
5798
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5799
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
5800
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
5801
      Package directives.
5802
 
5803
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
5804
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
5805
      system.
5806
 
5807
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5808
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
5809
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5810
Major changes:
5811
    * MOS Toolset
5812
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
5813
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
5814
 
5815
    * WIN32 Toolset
5816
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
5817
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
5818
      list.
5819
 
5820
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
5821
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
5822
 
5823
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
5824
 
5825
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
5826
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
5827
 
5828
 
5829
Minor changes:
5830
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
5831
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
5832
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
5833
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
5834
      corrected.
5835
 
5836
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
5837
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
5838
 
5839
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
5840
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
5841
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
5842
 
5843
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5844
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
5845
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5846
Major changes:
5847
    * WIN32 Toolset
5848
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
5849
      use with multithreaded modes.
5850
 
5851
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
5852
      --OnlyProd.
5853
 
5854
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
5855
      within the makefile.pl.
5856
 
5857
Minor changes:
5858
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
5859
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
5860
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
5861
      platforms.
5862
 
5863
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
5864
 
5865
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5866
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
5867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5868
Major changes:
5869
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
5870
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
5871
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
5872
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
5873
 
5874
    * Preliminary Support
5875
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
5876
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
5877
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
5878
 
5879
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
5880
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
5881
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
5882
 
5883
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
5884
      building. The default build will build both.
5885
 
5886
Minor changes:
5887
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
5888
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
5889
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
5890
 
5891
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
5892
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
5893
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
5894
 
5895
 
5896
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5897
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
5898
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5899
Major changes:
5900
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
5901
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
5902
      or all.
5903
 
5904
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
5905
      the library or program.
5906
 
5907
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
5908
 
5909
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
5910
      library or any debug files.
5911
 
5912
    * GenerateFiles
5913
      All processed arguments now support two options.
5914
 
5915
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
5916
              directory in which the prereq file is found
5917
 
5918
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
5919
              The filename of the prereq file
5920
 
5921
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
5922
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
5923
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
5924
 
5925
 
5926
Minor changes:
5927
    * create_dpkg utility
5928
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
5929
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
5930
      the package has been altered.
5931
 
5932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5933
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
5934
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5935
Major changes:
5936
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
5937
      This is a WINCE target
5938
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
5939
 
5940
    * New toolset
5941
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
5942
 
5943
    * Modified toolset
5944
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
5945
 
5946
    * Modified toolset
5947
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
5948
 
5949
Minor changes:
5950
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
5951
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
5952
 
5953
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
5954
 
5955
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
5956
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
5957
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
5958
 
5959
      The change allows the construct
5960
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
5961
      to be replaced by the simpler
5962
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
5963
 
5964
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
5965
      specified name.    
5966

5986
Major changes:
5987
    * The "package.pl" file.
5988
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
5989
      package name being taken from the build name
5990
 
5991
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
5992
      package Build Name.
5993
 
5994
Minor changes:
5995
    * create_dpkg utility
5996
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
5997

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6001
Major changes:
6002
 
6003
Minor changes:
6004
    * Dependancy generator
6005
      Correct two common situations
6006
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6007
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6008
           ansi, but is often done.
6009
 
6010
    * GCC toolset
6011
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6012
      being created in the correct place.
6013
 
6014
    * jats "label"
6015
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6016
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6017
 
6018
 
6019
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6020
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6021
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6022
Major changes:
6023
 
6024
Minor changes:
6025
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6026
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6027
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6028
 
6029
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6030
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6031
 
6032
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6033
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6034
      package was not being transferred.
6035
 
6036
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6037
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6038
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6039
Major changes:
6040
    * Support for solaris_i386
6041
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6042
      binaries for this target.
6043
 
6044
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6045
      with the GCC compiler.
6046
 
6047
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6048
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6049
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6050
 
6051
Minor changes:
6052
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6053
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6054
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6055
 
6056
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6057
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6058
 
6059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6060
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6061
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6062
Major changes:
6063
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6064
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6065
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6066
 
6067
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6068
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6069
 
6070
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6071
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6072
      with either " or ' characters.
6073
 
6074
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6075
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6076
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6077
 
6078
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6079
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6080
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6081
 
6082
    * Jats wrapper
6083
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6084
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6085
      further commands.
6086
 
6087
Minor changes:
6088
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6089
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6090
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6091
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6092
 
6093
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6094
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6095
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6096
Major changes:
6097
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6098
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6099
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6100
 
6101
      These options operation affect all components within the
6102
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6103
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6104
 
6105
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6106
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6107
 
6108
Minor changes:
6109
 
6110
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6111
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6112
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6113
Major changes:
6114
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6115
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6116
 
6117
Minor changes:
6118
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6119
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6120
 
6121
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6122
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6123
 
6124
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6125
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6126
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6127
Major changes:
6128
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6129
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6130
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6131
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6132
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6133
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6134
      installed.
6135
 
6136
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6137
      libraries that depend on each other.
6138
 
6139
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6140
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6141
 
6142
Minor changes:
6143
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6144
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6145
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6146
 
6147
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6148
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6149
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6150
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6151
 
6152
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6153
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6154
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6155
Major changes:
6156
 
6157
Minor changes:
6158
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6159
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6160
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6161
      file.
6162
 
6163
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6164
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6165
 
6166
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6167
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6168
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6169
 
6170
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6171
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6172
 
6173
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6174
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6175
 
6176
    * WinCE toolsets
6177
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6178
      compiler specific libraries.
6179
 
6180
    * SOLARIS toolset
6181
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6182
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6183
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6184
 
6185
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6186
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6187
      cleaned up.
6188
 
6189
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6190
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6191
 
6192
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6193
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6194
      with either " or ' characters.
6195
 
6196

Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6199
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6200
Major changes:
6201
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6202
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6203
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6204
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6205
 
6206
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6207
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6208
 
6209
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6210
      user.
6211
 
6212
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6213
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6214
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6215
 
6216
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6217
      for the   -Gf option.
6218
 
6219
Minor changes:
6220
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6221
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6222
 
6223
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6224
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6225
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6226
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6227
 
6228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6229
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6231
Major changes:
6232
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6233
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6234
 
6235
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6236
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6237
      data addresses for the board.
6238
 
6239
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6240
 
6241
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6242
 
6243
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6244
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6245
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6246
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6247
         PackageFile
6248
 
6249
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6250
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6251
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6252
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6253
 
6254
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6255
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6256
      to be installed and packaged.
6257
 
6258
Minor changes:
6259
 
6260
    * cache_dpkg utility
6261
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6262
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6263
 
6264
    * label utility
6265
      New option -auto to create and label
6266
 
6267
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6268
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6269
 
6270
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6271
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6272
      directory. ie:
6273
 
6274
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6275
 
6276
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6277
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6278
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6279
 
6280
 
6281
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6282
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6284
Major changes:
6285
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6286
 
6287
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6288
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6289
 
6290
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6291
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6292
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6293
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6294
 
6295
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6296
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6297
      compilation.
6298
 
6299
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6300
 
6301
Minor changes:
6302
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6303
      one is being produced.
6304
 
6305
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6306
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6307
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6308
 
6309
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6310
 
6311
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6312
 
6313
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6314
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6315
 
6316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6317
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6319
Major changes:
6320
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6321
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6322
 
6323
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6324
 
6325
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6326
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6327
      same directory
6328
 
6329
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6330
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6331
      documenattion.
6332
 
6333
Minor changes:
6334
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6335
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6336
 
6337
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6338
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6339
 
6340
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6341
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6342
 
6343
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6344
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6345
 
6346
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6347
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6348
      be exempt from this test.
6349
 
6350
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6351
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6352
 
6353
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6354
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6355
 
6356
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6357
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6358
      does.
6359
 
6360
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6361
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6362
 
6363
 
6364

6367
Major changes:
6368
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6369
 
6370
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6371
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6372
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6373
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6374
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6375
 
6376
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6377
      operations.
6378
 
6379
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6380
 
6381
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6382

    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6385
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6386
 
6387
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6388
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6389
      directory is not added to the library path.
6390
 
6391
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6392
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6393
 
6394
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6395
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6396
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6397
 
6398
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6399
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6400
      specific flags.
6401
 
6402
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6403
 
6404
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6405
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6406
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6407
 
6408
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6409
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6410
      JATS.
6411
 
6412
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6413
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6414
 
6415
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6416
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6417
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6418
 
6419
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6420
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6421
 
6422
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6423
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6424
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6425
 
6426
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6427
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6428
 
6429
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6430
 
6431
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6432
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6433
 
6434
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6435
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6436
      objects.
6437
 
6438
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6439
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6440
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6441
      build defendants.
