		510	`directory as a part of the clobber processing.`
		511
		512	`* Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)`
		513	`Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs`
		514	`invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.`
		515
		516	`This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat`
		517	`Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.`
		518
377	dpurdie	519	`A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on`
		520	`64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as`
		521	`will many other toolsets.`

		541	`Debug information is created for both production and debug builds`
		542	`Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the`
		543	`executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner`
		544	`as the main binary.`
		545
		546	`This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while`
		547	`retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded`
		548	`device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the`
		549	`debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of`
		550	`both worlds.`

		1442	`Minor changes:`
		1443
		1444	`Internal changes`
		1445	`* Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory`
		1446	`This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS`
		1447	`Useful side effects include:`
		1448
		1449	`JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included`
		1450	`with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.`
		1451
		1452	`[DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,`
		1453	`simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.`
		1454
		1455	`[DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other`
		1456	`tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a`
		1457	`BuildPkgArchive`
		1458
313	dpurdie	1459	`* Perl Modules`
		1460	`Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS`
		1461	`release. This will:`

		1477
		1478	`* Jats label utility`
		1479	`Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors`
		1480
		1481	`Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that`
		1482	`the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find`
		1483	`new files and folders to label - there should be none.`
		1484
		1485	`* Jats core`
		1486	`Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow`

		1499
309	dpurdie	1500	`The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered`
307	dpurdie	1501	`in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile`
309	dpurdie	1502	`to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.`
307	dpurdie	1503
		1504	`* WCEPSION_500_VS2005`

		1609	`as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if`
		1610	`this occurs.`
		1611
		1612	`* The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.`
		1613	`This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'`

		1616

		1696	`Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using`
		1697	`Borlands Delphi Version 7.`
		1698
		1699	`See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options`
		1700	`to the Prog and SharedLib directives.`
		1701
		1702	`This toolset has a number of limitations:`
		1703	`1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single`
		1704	`makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library`
		1705	`names cannot be changed.`
		1706
		1707	`2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated`
		1708	`artifacts is very simplistic.`
		1709
		1710	`Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the`
		1711	`name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.`
		1712	`ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );`
		1713	`Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'`
		1714
		1715	`Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk`
		1716	`file.`
		1717	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyPackage' );`
		1718	`will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file`
		1719	`MyPackage.dpk.`
		1720
		1721	`Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr`
		1722	`file.`
		1723	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyDll' );`
		1724	`will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file`
		1725	`MyDll.dpr.`
		1726
		1727	`Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr`
		1728	`file.`
		1729	`ie: Prog ( '*', 'MyProg' );`
		1730	`will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file`
		1731	`MyProg.dpr.`
		1732
		1733	`Minor changes:`
		1734	`* New EnvVar: DELPHI7`
		1735	`Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the`
		1736	`standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not`
		1737	`c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7`
		1738
		1739	`* BuildVersion directive`
		1740	`Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information`
		1741	`in a Delphi Unit.`
		1742
		1743	`Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.`
		1744	`If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files`
		1745	`will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will`
		1746	`'know' the location of the files.`
		1747
		1748	`* Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs`
		1749	`Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.`
		1750
		1751	`Internal Changes:`
		1752	`* ToolsetSHLD functions`
		1753	`Pass in the shared library version string as an argument`
		1754	`Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner`
		1755	`that is decoupled from the toolsets.`
		1756
		1757	`* Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries`
		1758	`merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets`
		1759	`and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.`

		1766	`Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency`
		1767	`information for purely C++ builds.`
		1768
289	dpurdie	1769	`* Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password`

287	dpurdie	1771
289	dpurdie	1772	`NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order`

		1774	`Manager`
287	dpurdie	1775
		1776	`Minor changes:`
		1777	`* The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the`
		1778	`environment. This only affects the build daemons.`

277	dpurdie	1838
279	dpurdie	1839	`JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built`
		1840	`on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a`
		1841	`Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need`
281	dpurdie	1842	`not contain '!SOLARIS'`
279	dpurdie	1843
		1844	`This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not`

		1857	`Removed the '-delete' option`
		1858	`Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.`
		1859
277	dpurdie	1860	`Minor changes:`
279	dpurdie	1861	`* Sandbox command`
		1862	`Added build, make, clean, clobber commands`
		1863

		2342
		2343	`New platforms:`
		2344	`CSHARP2005`
		2345	`Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727`
		2346	`Support extends to allow:`
		2347	`1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS`
		2348	`2) Build Visual Studio solutions`
		2349	`Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.`
		2350
		2351	`VS2005`
		2352	`Support extends to allow:`
		2353	`1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS`
		2354	`2) Build Visual Studio solutions`
		2355	`Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.`
		2356
		2357	`The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005`
		2358	`through a version selector:`
		2359	`WIN32 Toolset - "MS.NET2005"`
		2360	`CSHARP Toolset - "MS.NET2005"`
		2361
		2362	`* Version of Make for Win32 builds`

		2366	`* CSHARP and WIN32 platforms`
		2367	`The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:`

		2369	`conditions when building projects and solutions.`
		2370	`- Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist`
		2371	`will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages`
		2372	`under VS2005.`

		2384
		2385	`Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS`

		2399
		2400	`JATS now includes binaries for make.`
		2401	`This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all`

		2478	`* Jats utility: CCdiff`
		2479	`Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory`
		2480	`within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current`
		2481	`work.`
		2482

		2511	`Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the`
		2512	`location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats`

		2550
		2551	`Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the`

		2786	`* Jats wrapper`
		2787	`If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching`
		2788	`utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.`

		2791	`Version: 2.72.00000.cr Released: 11-Jan-08`
		2792	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		2793	`Major changes:`
229	dpurdie	2794	`* Jats Release Mechanism`
		2795	`Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its`
		2796	`internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be`
		2797	`released using the 'standard' mechanism.`
		2798
		2799	`Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.`
		2800
		2801	`A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align`
		2802	`itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.`
		2803
		2804	`* Running Jats`
		2805	`Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.`
		2806	`Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.`
		2807	`This may affect some windows developers.`
		2808
		2809	`This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.`
		2810	`Future versions will generate an error.`
		2811
		2812	`Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.`
		2813
		2814	`Minor changes:`
		2815	`* Perl Version Check`
		2816	`Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer`
		2817	`than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward`
		2818	`compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.`
		2819
		2820	`* Build Directive: BuildVersion`
		2821	`This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'`
		2822	`file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT`
		2823	`build.`
		2824
		2825	`* Jats Internals`
		2826	`Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.`
		2827	`Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.`
		2828
		2829	`* Jats Tool: CCbc2`
		2830	`Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two`
		2831	`packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views`
		2832	`and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the`
		2833	`process.`
		2834
		2835	`Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.`
		2836	`Only works under Windows.`
		2837
		2838	`Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.`
		2839
		2840	`* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh`
		2841	`Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly`
		2842
		2843	`* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat`
		2844	`Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported`
		2845	`into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.`
		2846
		2847	`* Jats eprog`
		2848	`Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current`
		2849	`directory.`
		2850
		2851	`* jats tool jats_metrics`
		2852	`A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect`
		2853	`build metrics.`

		2861	`* Jats Tool: create_dpkg`
		2862	`Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and`
		2863	`version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the`

		2865	`-pname=Package_Name`
		2866	`-pversion=Package_Version`
		2867
		2868	`Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without`

		2870	`-test`
		2871
		2872	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`

		2874	`-vob=name does not generate internal message under unix`
		2875
		2876	`* JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either`
		2877	`a space separated or a comma separated list.`
		2878
		2879	`* Solaris Toolset`
		2880	`Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared`
		2881	`libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable`
		2882	`programs are still supported.`
		2883

		2887	`Major changes:`
		2888
		2889	`Minor changes:`
		2890	`* WINCE toolsets`
		2891	`Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset`
		2892	`This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been`
		2893	`installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers`
		2894	`when header files cannot be found.`
		2895
		2896	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		2897	`If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make`
		2898	`it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames`
		2899	`that are difficult to solve.`
		2900
		2901	`* MakePerlModule directive`
		2902	`Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed`
		2903	`to the the module builder.`
		2904
		2905	`* Jats Tool: label`
		2906	`Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)`
		2907	`Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the -files=xxx and`
		2908	`-dirs=xxx options.`
		2909
		2910	`* Jats Tool: release`
		2911	`Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the`
		2912	`build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.`
		2913
		2914	`Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be`
		2915	`used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.`
		2916
		2917	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`
		2918	`Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be`
		2919	`uploaded to CodeStriker.`
		2920
		2921	`Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.`

		3031	`Version: 2.71.1.cr Released: 16-Oct-07`

		3033	`Major changes:`
		3034

		3036	`PackageLib directive`
		3037	`The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.`
		3038	`Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.`
		3039	`Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.`
		3040
		3041	`MakefileGenerate directive`

		3045	`Multiple Parent detection`
		3046	`A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the`

		3049	`condition will be treated as a warning.`
		3050
		3051	`Solaris Toolset`
		3052	`Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.`
		3053	`When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will`
		3054	`cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the`
		3055	`link.`
		3056
		3057	`Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the`
		3058	`misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an`
		3059	`indication that this is a bad thing to do.`
		3060
		3061	`Make and generation of subdirectories`
		3062	`Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.`
		3063	`This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency`
		3064	`file.`
		3065
		3066	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3067	`Version: 2.71.0.cr Released: 10-Oct-07`
		3068	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3069	`Major changes:`
		3070	`Makefile generation and make recursion`
		3071	`Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by`
		3072	`which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.`
		3073
		3074	`Summary of changes:`
		3075	`- Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories`
		3076	`and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program that performs`
		3077	`the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for`
		3078	`flexibility.`
		3079
		3080	`The user interface remains identical: jats make ....`
		3081
		3082	`- Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text`
		3083	`file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the`
		3084	`interface directory and associated build information.`
		3085
		3086	`- Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.`
		3087	`On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less`
		3088	`than one second.`
		3089
		3090	`- Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent`
		3091	`building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for`
		3092	`each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every`
		3093	`makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity`
		3094	`testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the`
		3095	`toolset. It is an expensive operation.`
		3096
		3097	`- Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism`
		3098	`for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,`
		3099	`rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.`
		3100
		3101	`- Better makefile rebuilding`
		3102	`Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to`
		3103	`detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-`
		3104	`building them.`
		3105
		3106	`- Detection of build file changes`
		3107	`The make process will detect that the build file has been modified`
		3108	`and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It`
		3109	`does not prevent the 'make' operation.`
		3110
		3111	`- Quieter make output`
		3112	`The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.`
		3113
		3114
		3115	`Minor changes:`
		3116	`MakeAnt Directive`
		3117	`Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5`
		3118
		3119	`JATS command "debug" and "prod"`
		3120	`These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:`
		3121	`jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args`
		3122	`Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution`
		3123	`display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.`
		3124
		3125	`CSHARP toolset`
		3126	`Correctly detect missing compiler directories`

		3137	`MakeAnt`
		3138	`If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.`
		3139	`Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.`

		3155	`This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive`
		3156	`directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will`
		3157	`address a 'jar' directory within the package.`
		3158
		3159	`New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR`

		3251	`Version: JATS_2.68.1 Released: 24-Aug-07`
		3252	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3253	`Major changes:`
		3254
		3255	`Minor changes:`
		3256	`* Solaris Toolset`
		3257	`Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the`
		3258	`dependent packages.`
		3259
		3260	`* RunTest operation`
		3261	`Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.`
		3262
		3263	`* Csharp toolkit`
		3264	`.dtd files are treated as resource files too`
		3265
		3266	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3267	`Version: JATS_2.68.0 Released: 20-Aug-07`
		3268	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3269	`Major changes:`
		3270	`* Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)`
		3271
		3272	`It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and`
		3273	`javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was`
		3274	`normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages`
		3275	`were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search`
		3276	`path.`
		3277
		3278	`JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt`
		3279	`directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and`
		3280	`reproducible.`
		3281
		3282	`This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.`
		3283	`This is better than building incorrectly.`
		3284
		3285	`There are several aspects to the change`
		3286	`1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If`
		3287	`the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the`
		3288	`PATH then these will be used and report an error.`
		3289
		3290	`2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build`
		3291	`Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.`
		3292	`Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is`
		3293	`controlled separately.`
		3294
		3295	`Minor changes:`
		3296	`* Sanitize the PATH environment variable`
		3297	`Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched`
		3298	`Remove duplicates`
		3299	`Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH`

		3301	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3302	`Version: JATS_2.67.1 Released: 17-Aug-07`
		3303	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3304	`Major changes:`
		3305
		3306	`Minor changes:`
		3307	`* Makefile sanity test`
		3308	`Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are`
		3309	`not then run on a machine of a different type.`
		3310
		3311	`This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-`
		3312	`x86 machine.`
		3313
		3314	`* Correct bug in RunTest`
		3315	`RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory`
		3316
		3317	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3318	`Version: JATS_2.67.0 Released: 13-Aug-07`
		3319	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3320	`Major changes:`
		3321	`* RunTest directive`
		3322	`Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the`
		3323	`CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing`
		3324	`toolset specific test frameworks has been added.`
		3325
		3326	`Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.`
		3327	`The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option`
		3328	`--FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program`
		3329	`under test will be passed to the framework. program.`
		3330
		3331	`If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework`
		3332	`builder within the current toolset.`
		3333
		3334	`When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:`
		3335	`'--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.`
		3336
		3337	`With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit`
		3338	`will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile`
		3339	`containing the RunTest directive.`
		3340
		3341	`The Nunit Framework supports the following options:`
		3342	`--Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+`
		3343
		3344	`This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will`
		3345	`be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external`
		3346	`package or the components 'local' lib directory.`
		3347
		3348	`SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:`
		3349	`--NonJats This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a`
		3350	`P or D suffix.`
		3351	`--Jats (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will`
		3352	`select the correct library type for this build.`
		3353
		3354	`Minor changes:`
		3355	`* New Cache cleanup mechanism`
		3356	`When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within`
		3357	`the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to`
		3358	`the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are`
		3359	`frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.`
		3360
		3361	`* Save Build Utility`
		3362	`This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file`
		3363	`used in a ripple build.`
		3364
		3365	`The utility has been enhanced to detect a reserved checkout of the`
		3366	`build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.`
		3367
		3368	`* Release Utility`
		3369	`The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked`
		3370	`when an error is encountered.`
		3371
		3372	`This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be`
		3373	`unlocked if a build error occurs.`
		3374
		3375	`* Jats caching local copy of itself`
		3376	`Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message`
		3377	`being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.`
		3378
		3379	`* Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step`
		3380	`before the makefiles are created.`
		3381
		3382	`* TestProg directive`
		3383	`TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs`
		3384
		3385	`* Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with`
		3386	`a 'space' or '$' in the file name.`

		3391	`Major changes:`
		3392	`* New build target`
		3393	`LINUX_ETX - Support for Linux on an ETX board`
		3394	`LMOS_LINUX_ETX - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target`

		3396	`These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.`
		3397	`DEVLINUX`
		3398	`LMOS_DEVLINUX`
		3399
		3400	`* Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]`

		3402	`transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.`
		3403
		3404	`Minor changes:`
		3405	`* Added utility class to provide directory searching`

		3409	`Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs`
		3410
		3411	`Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx`
		3412	`and .cs files.`
		3413
		3414	`Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right`
		3415	`thing.`
		3416
		3417	`* Microtec ColdFire compiler`
		3418	`Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a`
		3419	`local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control`
		3420	`were it places temp files.`
		3421
		3422	`Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected`
		3423	`interaction with other builds.`
		3424
		3425	`* Release utility command`
		3426	`Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create`
		3427	`multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique`
		3428	`component in the clearcase tag name.`

		3497
		3498	`* Tool: gen_msprojects`
		3499	`Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production`

		3517	`Major changes:`
		3518	`* Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended`
		3519	`through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce`
		3520	`the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.`
		3521
		3522	`* GenerateFiles`
		3523	`Added the options:`
		3524	`--UnknownPreq - Will force the recipe to be run every time`
		3525	`the generated files are required. May be used`
		3526	`when the dependancies are too complex to`
		3527	`describe. ie: Entire directory tree.`
		3528
		3529	`--AutoGenerate - Will not force the recipe to be run during the`
		3530	`'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates`

		3601	`The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages`
		3602	`need to be converted.`
		3603
		3604	`* Building Linux Device Drivers`
		3605	`The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.`
		3606	`Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide`

		3705	`There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in`
		3706	`very unusual configurations.`
		3707
		3708	`Minor changes:`
		3709	`* Directive: PackageFile`
		3710	`Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming`
		3711	`conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain`
		3712	`an '='.`
		3713
		3714	`Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead`
		3715	`of "--Subdir=etc".`
		3716
		3717	`* JATS Internal utility: cmdfile`
		3718	`Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that`
		3719	`provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.`
		3720
		3721	`This version will display the library search path with one item per line,`
		3722	`rather than all items on one, very long, line.`
		3723
		3724	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3725	`Version: JATS_2.63.0 Released: 5-Apr-07`
		3726	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3727	`Major changes:`
		3728
		3729	`* JATS release command`
		3730	`Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is`
		3731	`specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.`
		3732
		3733	`Rules are:`
		3734	`Modify a file: File will branch`
		3735	`Adding a file: Containing directory will not branch`
		3736	`File will be placed on a branch`
		3737	`Add a directory: Containing directory will not branch`
		3738	`New directory will branch`
		3739
		3740	`Minor changes:`
		3741	`* JATS release command`
		3742	`Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the`
		3743	`user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.`
		3744
		3745	`* JATS label command`
		3746	`Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label`
		3747	`is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.`
		3748
		3749	`* JATS make`
		3750	`Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and`
		3751	`Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package`
		3752	`was re-packaged.`
		3753
		3754	`* JATS escrow`
		3755	`Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.`
		3756	`Use jats escrow -help for details`
		3757
		3758	`* makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt`
		3759	`This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java`
		3760	`packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.`
		3761
		3762	`This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in`
		3763	`packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the`
		3764	`interface directory.`
		3765
		3766	`* build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive`
		3767	`Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.`
		3768	`Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'`
		3769	`directory as seen by the package.`
		3770
		3771	`Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10`
		3772
		3773	`* JAVA 6`
		3774	`JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y`
		3775	`environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.`
		3776
		3777	`The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5`
		3778	`and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.`
		3779
		3780	`The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables`
		3781
		3782	`* Jats command: vars`
		3783	`Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory`
		3784	`These indicate potential problems.`
		3785
		3786	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3787	`Version: JATS_2.62.4 Released: 20-Mar-07`
		3788	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3789	`Major changes:`
		3790	`* JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)`
		3791	`When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned`
		3792	`libarry is also created.`
		3793
		3794	`Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical`
		3795	`copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is`
		3796	`'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two`
		3797	`files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)`
		3798	`The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug`
		3799	`information contained within the file.`
		3800
		3801	`This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',`
		3802	`'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.`
		3803
		3804	`The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used`
		3805	`within the build environment and dpkg_archive.`
		3806
		3807	`* Building Perl Modules`
		3808	`Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the`
		3809	`documentation on the build machine.`
		3810
		3811	`Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.`
		3812
		3813	`Minor changes:`
		3814	`* jats create_dpkg`
		3815	`Added an option to create a built.generic file`
		3816	`This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.`
		3817
		3818	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3819	`Version: JATS_2.62.3 Released: 28-Feb-07`
		3820	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3821	`Major changes:`
		3822	`* JATS JAVA build target`
		3823	`The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the`
		3824	`default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.`
		3825
		3826	`Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar`
		3827	`JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.`
		3828	`Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this`
		3829	`is then picked up as the default version.`
		3830
		3831	`If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the`
		3832	`build.pl file.`
		3833
		3834	`Minor changes:`
		3835	`* jats release`
		3836	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH`
		3837	`Issue an error if it cannot be found.`
		3838	`This error indicates bad DevEnv setup`
		3839
		3840	`Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.`
		3841	`Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify`
		3842	`the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,`
		3843	`based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change`
		3844	`the name of the view.`
		3845
		3846	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		3847	`Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.`
		3848
		3849	`* MOS Toolset`
		3850	`When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly`
		3851	`used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set`
		3852	`up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization`
		3853
		3854	`Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );`
		3855
		3856
		3857	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3858	`Version: JATS_2.62.2 Released: 15-Feb-07`
		3859	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3860	`Major changes:`
		3861
		3862	`Minor changes:`
		3863	`* JATS environment`
		3864	`Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH`
		3865	`environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities`
		3866	`that are located in the Perl bin directory.`
		3867
		3868	`Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html`
		3869
		3870	`* Use of GENERIC platforms`
		3871	`Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform`
		3872	`specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because`
		3873	`they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need`
		3874	`to be packaged.`
		3875
		3876	`* Generated makefiles`
		3877	`Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.`
		3878
		3879	`* Generating MOS THX files`
		3880	`Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX`
		3881	`files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.`
		3882	`This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.`
		3883
		3884	`SharedLib ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );`
		3885
		3886	`* JATS release`
		3887	`Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix`
		3888
		3889	`* JATS extract`
		3890	`New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'`
		3891
		3892	`* JATS Toolset`
		3893	`Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)`
		3894	`This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK`
		3895
		3896
		3897	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3898	`Version: JATS_2.62.1 Released: 18-Jan-07`
		3899	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3900	`Major changes:`
		3901
		3902	`Minor changes:`
		3903	`* jats label`
		3904	`Added a -vob=name option`
		3905	`This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete`
		3906	`labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option`
		3907	`cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.`
		3908	`It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.`
		3909
		3910	`Added a -user=name option`
		3911	`This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the`
		3912	`label to the named user.`
		3913
		3914	`* jats release`
		3915	`Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner`
		3916	`Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.`
		3917
		3918	`* JATS build.pl`
		3919	`BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.`
		3920	`ie:`
		3921	`BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');`
		3922
		3923
		3924	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3925	`Version: JATS_2.62.0 Released: 22-Dec-06`
		3926	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3927	`Major changes:`
		3928	`* GenerateFiles and RunTest directives`
		3929	`These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile`
		3930	`values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of`
		3931	`the makefile internals. ie:`
		3932	`--Var(BuildName)`
		3933	`will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)`
		3934	`-BuildName=MyPackage`
		3935
		3936	`The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.`
		3937
		3938	`* GenerateFiles`
		3939	`Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase`
		3940	`This allows external scripts to cleanup.`
		3941
		3942	`* BuildPlatforms`
		3943	`Restored operation of the --Uses option`
		3944
		3945	`Minor changes:`
		3946	`* GCC Toolset`
		3947	`Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages`
		3948
		3949	`Internal changes:`
		3950	`* GenerateFiles`
		3951	`Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.`
		3952
		3953	`--Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an`
		3954	`external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.`
		3955
		3956
		3957	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3958	`Version: JATS_2.61.3 Released: 14-Dec-06`
		3959	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3960	`Major changes:`
		3961	`* Caching JATS`
		3962	`Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local`
		3963	`drive. This is applicable to windows.`
		3964
		3965	`This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in`
		3966	`dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of`
		3967	`then using JATS across a slow(network) link.`
		3968
		3969	`The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.`
		3970	`Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be`
		3971	`effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.`
		3972
		3973	`Use: Build Machines and Windows Users`
		3974
		3975	`Minor changes:`
		3976	`* Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option`
		3977	`Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:`
		3978	`TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.`
		3979
		3980	`* jats build`
		3981	`If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache`
		3982	`packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package`
		3983	`processed by the build.`
		3984
		3985	`* jats build`
		3986	`Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the`
		3987	`makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating`
		3988	`makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error`
		3989	`message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users`
		3990	`from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.`
		3991
		3992	`* PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr`
		3993	`Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the`
		3994	`Path is not specified.`
		3995
		3996	`Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in`
		3997	`conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a`
		3998	`package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified`
		3999	`--Dir=$Pinc`
		4000	`but $Pinc is not defined.`
		4001
		4002	`* Purify and Purecov under Windows`
		4003	`Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the`
		4004	`Windows platform.`
		4005
		4006	`- OPTIONS=purecov`
		4007	`Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required`
		4008	`by 'purecov.`
		4009
		4010	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		4011	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows`
		4012
		4013	`- OPTIONS=purify`
		4014	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		4015	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.`
		4016	`Under WIndows this option does nothing.`
		4017
		4018

		4020	`Version: JATS_2.61.2 Released: 27-Nov-06`
		4021	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4022	`Major changes:`
		4023	`* makefile.pl directive Platform`
		4024	`This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation`
		4025	`Example:`
		4026	`Platform ('!MOSCF');`
		4027	`Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF`
		4028	`This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');`
		4029
		4030	`Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have`
		4031	`been determined.`
		4032
		4033	`Minor changes:`
		4034	`* Added the ScanList directive.`
		4035	`This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be`
		4036	`located at build-time.`
		4037
		4038	`* Unix based systems`
		4039	`If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be`
		4040	`generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.`
		4041
		4042	`* MakeLinuxDriver`
		4043	`Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the`
		4044	`driver being built.`

		4074	`Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.`
		4075
		4076	`GenerateFiles.`
		4077	`Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does`

		4088	`There are two mechanism:`
		4089
		4090	`Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl`
		4091	`the option can apply to all programs being built.`
		4092

		4097	`default.`
		4098	`--Static - Create a statically linked program`

		4104	`Major changes:`
		4105	`* SunWorks Toolset`
		4106	`Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library`
		4107	`Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries`
		4108	`It is based on machine type.`

		4216	`Theses are:`
		4217	`SOLARIS_SPARC`
		4218	`SOLARIS_AMD`

		4243	`tool is created, rather then the target platform type.`
		4244

		4246	`Version: JATS_2.56.2 Released: 28-Aug-06`
		4247	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4248	`Major changes:`
		4249
		4250	`Minor changes:`
		4251	`* WIN32 and WINCE toolsets`
		4252	`SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'`
		4253	`library without creating the body of the library:`
		4254	`eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );`
		4255
		4256

		4275	`Version: JATS_2.56.1 Released: 23-Aug-06`
		4276	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4277	`Major changes:`
		4278	`* Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64`
		4279	`Initial release.`
		4280
		4281	`Minor changes:`

		4284	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4285	`Version: JATS_2.56.0 Released: 18-Aug-06`
		4286	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4287	`Major changes:`
		4288	`* Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64`
		4289	`Initial release.`
		4290
		4291	`* Packaging directives`
		4292	`Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into`
		4293	`a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.`
		4294
		4295	`Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on`
		4296	`SOLARIS`
		4297	`WIN32`
		4298
		4299	`* Removal of support for badly formed packages`
		4300	`As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory`
		4301	`will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect`
		4302	`directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose`
		4303	`of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,`
		4304	`solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).`
		4305
		4306	`* Build Platform target name expansion facility`
		4307	`The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They`
		4308	`will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .`
		4309
		4310
		4311	`Minor changes:`
		4312	`* Utility: JATS LABEL`
		4313	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.`
		4314	`Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.`
		4315
		4316	`* Utility: JATS RELEASE`
		4317	`Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given`
		4318	`location`
		4319
		4320	`Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for`
		4321	`controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx`
		4322
		4323	`* Utility genrc`
		4324	`Added the company name to the copyright string`
		4325
		4326	`* Utility: jats_save_build`
		4327	`Added option: -new`
		4328	`This option forces the saved file only a new branch.`
		4329	`The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific`
		4330	`branch. Useful when branching an entire release.`
		4331
		4332	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		4333	`Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.`
		4334	`Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.`
		4335
		4336	`* Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir`
		4337	`These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for`
		4338	`migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.`
		4339
		4340	`The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl`
		4341	`features - in a uniform manner.`
		4342
		4343
		4344	`Internal Changes:`
		4345	`* Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts`
		4346	`directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.`
		4347
		4348	`Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:`
		4349	`1) Platform information available at build time`
		4350	`2) Dynamic platform names`
		4351
		4352	`* Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform`
		4353	`The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the`
		4354	`machine on which the platform is invoked.`
		4355
		4356	`Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into`
		4357	`configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the`
		4358	`SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.`
		4359
		4360	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		4361	`Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32`
		4362	`platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer`
		4363	`needed.`
		4364
		4365	`A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be`
		4366	`located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change`
		4367	`should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle`
		4368	`files from all of these.`

		4379	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4380	`Version: JATS_2.55.0 Released: 3-Aug-06`
		4381	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4382	`Major changes:`
		4383	`* Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used`
		4384	`Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of`
		4385	`JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.`
		4386
		4387	`The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.`
		4388
		4389	`JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up`
		4390	`the operations.`
		4391
		4392	`The version option MUST be the first option.`
		4393
		4394	`The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.`
		4395	`This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.`
		4396
		4397	`Example: jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build`
		4398
		4399	`* Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script`
		4400	`and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.`
		4401
		4402	`* Utility: create_dpkg`
		4403	`Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts`
		4404	`Extended the built-in help`
		4405	`Added useful error messages`
		4406	`Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism`
		4407
		4408	`* WinCE toolset`
		4409	`Added support for the WCEPA962 target.`
		4410
		4411	`* M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware`
		4412	`Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files`
		4413	`are used in the creation of bootstraps.`
		4414
		4415	`Minor changes:`
		4416	`* JATS wrapper script`
		4417	`Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from`
		4418	`the command line.`
		4419
		4420	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		4421	`Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the`
		4422	`ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.`
		4423
		4424	`Internal Changes:`
		4425	`* Common Error Reporting`
		4426	`Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels`
		4427	`for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars`
		4428	`of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE`
		4429	`level.`
		4430
		4431	`Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is`
		4432	`displayed.`
		4433
		4434	`Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.`
		4435
		4436	`* Added JatsSystem module`
		4437	`Common code for accessing system commands`
		4438	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`

		4442
		4443	`Minor changes:`

		4446	`.def files to include other files.`
		4447
		4448	`* IAR toolset`
		4449	`Added AT7272 support`
		4450
		4451	`* Tool: jats_manifest`
		4452	`Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms`

		4458
		4459	`Minor changes:`

		4461	`Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in`
		4462	`use.`
		4463
		4464
		4465	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4466	`Version: JATS_2.54.1 Released: 29-Jun-06`
		4467	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4468	`Major changes:`
		4469
		4470	`Minor changes:`
		4471	`* Mictotec toolset`
		4472	`Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production`
		4473	`builds.`
		4474
		4475	`* JATS Core`
		4476	`Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an`
		4477	`auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their`
		4478	`behaviour.`
		4479
		4480	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4481	`Version: JATS_2.54.0 Released: 22-Jun-06`
		4482	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4483	`Major changes:`
		4484	`* Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.`
		4485	`Deployment package will be affected.`
		4486
		4487	`The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment`
		4488	`support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:`
		4489
		4490	`BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );`
		4491
		4492	`This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided`
		4493	`by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start`
		4494	`of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield`
		4495	`packages.`
		4496
		4497	`* Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS`
		4498	`The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex`
		4499	`and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.`
		4500
		4501	`This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'`
		4502	`the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'`
		4503
		4504	`Minor changes:`
		4505	`* SubDir directive`
		4506	`Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies`
		4507	`a directory from two different makefiles.`
		4508
		4509	`* Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend`
		4510	`If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated`
		4511	`dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence`
		4512	`of the file usage.`
		4513
		4514	`* New utility: jats_manifest`
		4515	`Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.`
		4516	`Beta Release: Windows only at the moment`
		4517
		4518	`* Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc`
		4519	`The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries`
		4520	`generated within the build and have been installed locally.`
		4521
		4522	`* Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script`
		4523	`This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.`
		4524	`In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and`
		4525	`will execute a JATS extended command.`
		4526
		4527
		4528	`Internal Changes:`
		4529	`* Code refactor`
		4530	`Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.`
		4531
		4532	`* Deployment utilities`
		4533	`The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file`
		4534	`Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.`
		4535	`The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and`
		4536	`the module can locate the file.`
		4537
		4538	`Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate`
		4539	`the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.`
		4540
		4541	`* JATS core`
		4542	`Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.`
		4543
		4544	`Better parsing of descpkg files.`
		4545
		4546	`* JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm`
		4547	`Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs`
		4548	`through the use of environment variables.`
		4549
		4550	`A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment`
		4551	`variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.`
		4552
		4553	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		4554	`Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:`
		4555	`deployfiles - as used by the deployment system`
		4556	`tools/scripts - as used by perl based extensions`
		4557
		4558	`* Make environment`
		4559	`Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to`
		4560	`include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.`
		4561

		4564	`Version: JATS_2.53.2 Released: 13-Jun-06`
		4565	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4566	`Major changes:`
		4567	`* Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)`
		4568	`Added support for SILENT_MODE`
		4569
		4570
		4571	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4572	`Version: JATS_2.53.1 Released: Not release`
		4573	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4574
		4575	`Not Released.`
		4576	`This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis`
		4577	`for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.`
		4578
		4579
		4580	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4581	`Version: JATS_2.53.0 Released: 11-Apr-06`
		4582	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4583	`Major changes:`
		4584	`* Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access`
		4585	`The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been`
		4586	`radically replaced.`
		4587
		4588	`A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.`
		4589	`Usage:`
		4590	`jats etool test_rmconnection`
		4591
		4592	`The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle`
		4593	`Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with`
		4594	`this solution:`
		4595	`- Required the installation of two Perl Modules`
		4596	`- Required the installation of an Oracle client`
		4597	`- Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris`
		4598	`- Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline`
		4599
		4600	`The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin`
		4601	`client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in`
		4602	`order to work.`
		4603
		4604	`JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but`
		4605	`reduced functionality.`
		4606
		4607
		4608	`Minor changes:`
		4609	`* makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		4610	`Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.`
		4611	`This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.`
		4612
		4613	`* makefile.pl directive: SetList`
		4614	`Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists`
		4615	`within the makefiles.`
		4616	`Options:`
		4617	`--NoWarn Disable name clash warnings`
		4618	`--Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+ Add to list in selected projects`
		4619	`--Unique Add only if not already present`
		4620	`--Clear Clear list, before adding new items`
		4621	`--Append Append items to list (default)`
		4622	`-- Disable/Enable option parsing`
		4623	`Useage:`
		4624
		4625	`SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');`
		4626	`SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );`
		4627
		4628	`* Makefile.pl directive: RunTest`
		4629	`Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file`
		4630	`is not in the current directory.`
		4631
		4632	`* Jats Command: ant'`
		4633	`This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option`
		4634	`to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.`
		4635
		4636	`eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant`
		4637
		4638	`* TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support`
		4639	`Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next`
		4640	`generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version`
		4641	`of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr`
		4642
		4643	`* Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh`
		4644	`Added provision to process user command arguments.`
		4645	`Thus`
		4646
		4647	`set_WIN32.bat prog`
		4648
		4649	`will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog`

		4653	`Version: JATS_2.52.2 Released: 30-Mar-06`
		4654	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4655	`Major changes:`
		4656
		4657	`Minor changes:`
		4658	`* Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.`
		4659	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be`
		4660	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project`
		4661	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		4662	`$(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always`
		4663
		4664	`* m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware`
		4665	`Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are`
		4666	`created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.`
		4667
		4668	`Internal changes:`
		4669	`* JATS toolsets`
		4670	`Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created`
		4671	`as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a`
		4672	`number of files, some which may be packaged.`
		4673
		4674	`Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now`
		4675	`they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.`
		4676
		4677	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4678	`Version: JATS_2.52.1 Released: 29-Mar-06`
		4679	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4680	`Major changes:`
		4681	`* Jats command: etool`
		4682	`Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment`
		4683	`tools to use the JATS core perl modules.`
		4684
		4685	`* Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer`
		4686	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be`
		4687	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt`
		4688	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		4689	`$(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always`
		4690	`$ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always`
		4691
		4692	`Minor changes:`
		4693
		4694
		4695	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4696	`Version: JATS_2.52.0 Released: 27-Mar-06`
		4697	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4698	`Major changes:`
		4699	`* JATS environment variables`
		4700	`Added GBE_DPKG_STORE`
		4701	`Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow`
		4702	`read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be`
		4703	`searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,`
		4704	`will not publish packages in this repository.`
		4705
		4706	`Uses: Seed repository for a complete build`
		4707	`Remote repository`
		4708
		4709	`Added GBE_DPLY`
		4710	`Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the`
		4711	`placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.`
		4712
		4713	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		4714	`Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.`
		4715	`Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This`
		4716	`created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by`
		4717	`the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.`
		4718
		4719	`The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be`
		4720	`processed once and it will be processed last.`
		4721
		4722
		4723	`Minor changes:`
		4724	`* JATS utility: build`
		4725	`* JATS utility: cache_dpkg`
		4726	`Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within`
		4727	`GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.`
		4728
		4729	`* JATS utility: gen_cots`
		4730	`Ensure label is not locked`
		4731	`Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package`
		4732	`that already exists in dpkg_archive.`
		4733
		4734	`* JATS directive: PackageFile`
		4735	`Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process`
		4736	`to a specific type of build.`
		4737
		4738	`* JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests`
		4739	`Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information`
		4740	`to be extracted and passed to generator programs.`
		4741	`ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)`
		4742
		4743	`Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as`
		4744	`sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.`
		4745	`ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)`
		4746
		4747	`* JATS utility: release`
		4748	`Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have`
		4749	`been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.`
		4750
		4751	`* JATS utility: label`
		4752	`Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,`
		4753	`when it is being created.`
		4754
		4755	`Internal Changes`
		4756	`* JATS utility: create_dpkg`
		4757	`Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.`
		4758
		4759	`Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use`
		4760	`to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.`
		4761
		4762	`* Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive`
		4763	`This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting`
		4764	`different results.`
		4765
		4766	`* ToolsetRequire directive`
		4767	`This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within`
		4768	`packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory`
		4769
		4770	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4771	`Version: JATS_2.51.0 Released: 15-Mar-06`
		4772	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4773	`Major changes:`
		4774
		4775	`* MCR toolset`
		4776	`Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files`
		4777
		4778	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4779	`Version: JATS_2.50.0 Released: 15-Feb-06`
		4780	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4781	`Major changes:`
		4782	`* WIN32 utilities`
		4783	`Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)`
		4784	`with versions from the GNUWin32 project.`
		4785
		4786	`The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories`
		4787	`under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the`
		4788	`same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).`
		4789
		4790	`Minor changes:`
		4791	`* BuildVersion`
		4792	`The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file`
		4793	`will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'`
		4794	`program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.`
		4795
		4796	`The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.`
		4797
		4798	`* Unix Builds`
		4799	`Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static`
		4800	`library or a shared library.`
		4801
		4802	`JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred`
		4803	`when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix`
		4804	`systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already`
		4805	`start with 'lib'.`
		4806
		4807	`* BuildPkgArchive`
		4808	`Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if`
		4809	`they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source`
		4810	`package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.`
		4811
		4812	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4813	`Version: JATS_2.49.0 Released: 10-Feb-06`
		4814	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4815	`Major changes:`
		4816	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		4817	`Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target`
		4818	`THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get`
		4819	`regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was`
		4820	`being manually maintained.`
		4821
		4822
		4823	`Minor changes:`
		4824	`* MakeAnt directive`
		4825	`Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset`
		4826	`that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset`
		4827	`supports ANT builds.`
		4828
		4829	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		4830	`Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where`
		4831	`there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.`
		4832
		4833	`* Label utility`
		4834	`Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified`
		4835	`files to be labeled.`
		4836
		4837	`* Build. Parsing descpkg files`
		4838	`Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly`
		4839	`on Solaris.`
		4840
		4841	`* Generated makefiles`
		4842	`Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to`
		4843	`nothing.`
		4844
		4845	`* MOS Toolset`
		4846	`Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.`
		4847	`This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised`
		4848	`modules.`
		4849
		4850	`* Utility: gen_cots`
		4851	`This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry`
		4852	`and then check it in under clearcase.`
		4853
		4854	`JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.`
		4855
		4856	`* Utilty cache_dpkg`
		4857	`Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.`
		4858
		4859	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4860	`Version: JATS_2.48.0 Released: 24-Jan-06`
		4861	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4862	`Major changes:`
		4863	`None`
		4864
		4865	`Minor changes:`
		4866	`* DEVI addressed`
		4867	`DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource`
		4868	`DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource`
		4869
		4870	`* Utility: release (cbuild)`
		4871	`Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching`
		4872	`rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:`
		4873
		4874	`jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH`
		4875
		4876	`will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating`
		4877	`a patch for Sydney Legacy work.`
		4878
		4879	`* RunTest directive`
		4880	`The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have`
		4881	`been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to`
		4882	`test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.`
		4883
		4884	`* PackageFile, Option --DirTree`
		4885	`Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the`
		4886	`--DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be`
		4887	`packaged under JATS`
		4888
		4889	`Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not`
		4890	`supported within JATS.`
		4891
		4892	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		4893	`Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the`
		4894	`sanitized environment provided by JATS.`
		4895
		4896	`The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's`
		4897	`PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the`
		4898	`JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.`
		4899
		4900	`Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2`
		4901	`Eg: jats ant`
		4902
		4903	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		4904	`Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )`
		4905
		4906	`This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file`
		4907	`called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called`
		4908	`<ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the`
		4909	`<ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the`
		4910	`<ProjectName>.xml file.`
		4911
		4912	`If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will`
		4913	`expect a build.pl file.`
		4914
		4915	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		4916	`Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.`
		4917
		4918	`* Jats utility: create_dpkg`
		4919	`Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within`
		4920	`the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.`
		4921
		4922	`* Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)`
		4923	`Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.`
		4924
		4925	`* Build files`
		4926	`Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with`
		4927	`ERG extensions.`
		4928
		4929	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4930	`Version: JATS_2.47.0 Released: 20-Dec-05`
		4931	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4932	`Major changes:`
		4933	`* BuildVersion directive in build.pl`
		4934	`Correct a problem in the generation of version.c`
		4935	`The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing`
		4936	`space when the 'array' mode was selected.`
		4937
		4938	`This may cause module validation to fail.`
		4939
		4940	`Minor changes:`
		4941	`* None`
		4942
		4943	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4944	`Version: JATS_2.46.0 Released: 08-Dec-05`
		4945	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4946	`Major changes:`
		4947	`* BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives`
		4948	`Added option --Uses=NAME`
		4949	`ie:`
		4950	`BuildProduct ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5', 'MOSCF' );`
		4951
		4952	`This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5`
		4953	`headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the`
		4954	`OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build`
		4955	`environments are compatible.`
		4956
		4957
		4958	`Minor changes:`
		4959	`* BuildName option`
		4960	`Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames`
		4961	`that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).`
		4962
		4963	`* jats.bat`
		4964	`Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined`
		4965	`It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.`
		4966
		4967	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4968	`Version: JATS_2.45.0 Released: 29-Nov-05`
		4969	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4970	`Major changes:`
		4971	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		4972	`The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified`
		4973	`so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly`
		4974	`speeds up multiple 'build' operations.`
		4975
		4976	`If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then`
		4977	`this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are`
		4978	`considered as under development and are subject to change.`
		4979
		4980	`If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be`
		4981	`installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to`
		4982	`be transferred into the 'interface' directory.`
		4983
		4984	`A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been`
		4985	`transferred.`
		4986
		4987	`* Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.`
		4988	`See notes below.`
		4989
		4990	`* WIN32 toolset`
		4991	`Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate`
		4992	`correctly.`
		4993
		4994	`Export the complete library search path into the build environment`
		4995	`for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.`
		4996
		4997	`* BuildVersion`
		4998	`Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#`
		4999	`The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for`
		5000	`other langauges as needed.`
		5001
		5002
		5003	`Minor changes:`
		5004	`* Utility: gen_winrc.pl`
		5005	`Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.`
		5006	`This information will be available to be placed into the generation`
		5007	`version strings.`
		5008
		5009	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5010	`Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local`
		5011	`package or an imported package.`
		5012
		5013	`* Toolsets: MOS_MRI`
		5014	`Generate an error if required tools are not found.`
		5015	`Previously this condition would generate a warning.`
		5016
		5017	`* BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives`
		5018	`Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check`
		5019	`was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same`
		5020	`version to be included. This could result in badly formed`
		5021	`makefiles and strange error messages.`
		5022
		5023	`Internal Changes`
		5024	`* Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common`
		5025	`directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite`
		5026	`of utilities.`
		5027
		5028	`Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting`
		5029	`functions.`
		5030
		5031	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5032	`Version: JATS_2.44.0 Released: 18-Nov-05`
		5033	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5034	`Major changes:`
		5035	`* Generated makefiles`
		5036	`Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE`
		5037	`cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure`
		5038	`that sed did not process its arguments.`
		5039
		5040	`This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts`
		5041	`within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was`
		5042	`incorrectly processing:`
		5043	`sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'`
		5044	`The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was`
		5045	`then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally`
		5046	`confused.`
		5047
		5048	`NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a`
		5049	`breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).`
		5050	`The construct`
		5051	`-D__SOURCE__=\"name\"`
		5052	`was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,`
		5053	`then it works.`
		5054
		5055	`* MakeAnt directive`
		5056	`Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile`
		5057
		5058	`This option has the following effects`
		5059	`1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and`
		5060	`can be used installed and manipulated.`
		5061
		5062	`2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done`
		5063	`early - in the generated files phase.`
		5064
		5065	`Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java`
		5066	`component needs to generate a header file early.`
		5067
		5068
		5069	`Minor changes:`
		5070	`* JATS post-installation script`
		5071	`Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.`
		5072
		5073	`* Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix`
		5074	`systems. Thus .h and .H files will considered header files in`
		5075	`windows.`
		5076
		5077	`* Build.pl rewrite tool`
		5078	`Handle all variants of BuildName`
		5079
		5080	`* Jats wrapper script`
		5081	`Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable`
		5082	`1) Contain spaces`
		5083	`2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped`
		5084
		5085	`* Toolset`
		5086	`Added a 'LINUX' platform.`
		5087
		5088	`* JAVA toolset`
		5089	`Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following`
		5090	`directive:`
		5091
		5092	`includeAntRuntime="off"'`
		5093
		5094	`This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to`
		5095	`the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's`
		5096	`version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.`
		5097
		5098	`* GCC Toolset`
		5099	`Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian`
		5100
		5101	`* Makefile generation`
		5102	`When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS`
		5103	`has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.`
		5104	`Previously JATS would use the package name found within the`
		5105	`descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the`
		5106	`package could not be used.`
		5107
		5108	`* Unit Tests`
		5109	`The following environment variables are set:`
		5110
		5111	`GBE_TYPE - The type of build. Debug or production. This`
		5112	`will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'`
		5113
		5114	`GBE_HOST - The host machine we are running on.`
		5115	`This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'`

		5126	`* New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.`
		5127
		5128	`Special features of this toolset.`
		5129	`1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file`
		5130	`This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be`
		5131	`incorporated within the target image.`
		5132
		5133	`2) Prog directive extensions:`
		5134	`--Set=Name=Value`
		5135	`The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.`
		5136	`This allows the location of program segments to be set`
		5137
		5138	`--Ref=name`
		5139	`The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used`
		5140	`to provide information that will be placed within the`
		5141	`THX header. The version number will be ignored. It`
		5142	`will be taken from the build version number.`
		5143
		5144	`Minor changes:`
		5145	`* MOS Toolset`
		5146	`Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.`
		5147	`Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or`
		5148	`packaged.`
		5149
		5150	`* Src directive`
		5151	`No generates a warning if no source files are located within the`
		5152	`directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform`
		5153	`specifier.`
		5154
		5155	`* WIN32 runtime support`
		5156	`Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.`
		5157	`1) od - dump files in octal and other formats`
		5158	`2) cmp - compare two files byte by byte`
		5159
		5160	`Internal:`
		5161	`Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"`
		5162	`dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program`
		5163	`generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.`
		5164
		5165	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5166	`Version: JATS_2.42.0 Released: 19-Oct-05`

		5178	`BuildProduct ( 'PCP', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );`
		5179
		5180	`Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's`
		5181	`that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of`
		5182	`'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.`
		5183
		5184	`Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.`
		5185	`The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the`
		5186	`specification of all the LMOS targets.`
		5187
		5188
		5189	`Minor changes:`
		5190	`* Label utility`

		5200	`* jats release (cbuilder) utility`
		5201	`Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.`

		5203
		5204	`* Location of descpkg file`
		5205	`All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was`
		5206	`created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it`
		5207	`can be done within any makefile.pl.`

		5214	`Extended the options and operation of RunTest`
		5215	`Additional options`
		5216	`--CopyIn=file`
		5217	`This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before`
		5218	`the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This`
		5219	`allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into`
		5220	`the test area.`
		5221
		5222	`Additional operations`
		5223	`The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of`
		5224	`transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms`
		5225	`--File(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a known file`
		5226	`--Local(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a file that has been Installed`

		5232	`--absdrive - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)`
		5233
		5234	`Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their`
		5235	`existence is tested.`
		5236
		5237	`* Packaging Directives`
		5238	`Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets`
		5239	`such as LMOS.`
		5240
		5241	`PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');`

		5251	`the version of Java to be used to build a package.`
		5252
		5253	`BuildPlatforms ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );`
		5254
		5255	`The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.`
		5256	`This may not be sutable for all packages.`
		5257
		5258	`Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be`
		5259	`set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:`

		5298	`Added support for packaging of directory trees.`
		5299	`Options to do this are:`
		5300	`--TreeDir=name`
		5301	`--FilterOut=regexp`
		5302	`--FilterIn=regexp`
		5303	`--StripDir`
		5304
		5305	`Only a single directory can be specified.`
		5306	`Multiple filters are allowed.`
		5307	`The directories must be within the current directory. It is not`
		5308	`possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.`
		5309
		5310	`The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.`
		5311	`The filters are regular expressions. Examples:`
		5312
		5313	`'--FilterIn=\.h$' - Select all files ending with .h`
		5314	`'--FilterOut=MyHeader.h' - Except this one`
		5315
		5316	`The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the`

		5350	`restricted by options within the build.`
		5351
		5352	`* PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl`
		5353	`The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a`
		5354	`problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the`
		5355	`list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the`
		5356	`list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.`
		5357
		5358	`Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these`
		5359	`directives.`
		5360
		5361	`* MakeProject directive`
		5362	`If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed`
		5363	`because 'make' stops when a command fails.`
		5364
		5365	`The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the`
		5366	`log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command`
		5367	`is preserved.`

		5392	`duplicate flags being added.`
		5393
		5394	`* GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)`

		5396	`loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.`
		5397
		5398	`* Mug File Generation`
		5399	`Added support to allow load files to include other load files.`
		5400
		5401	`* 'cbuild' or 'release' command`
		5402	`Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the`
		5403	`problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been`
		5404	`labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root`
		5405	`directory.`
		5406
		5407	`The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT`
		5408	`reproducible.`

		5437	`Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various`
		5438	`target platforms to be extracted.`
		5439
		5440	`Better support for Product families. This is only an issue`
		5441	`for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of`
		5442	`libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.`
		5443
		5444	`* Utility: release (cbuilder)`

		5483
		5484	`* WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6`
		5485	`The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer`

		5489
		5490	`* WINCE Targets`
		5491	`The name of the SDK is case sensitive.`

		5514
		5515	`Minor changes:`
		5516	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5517	`New sub-options to filename generation commands`

		5756	`to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by`
		5757	`other components.`

		5798
		5799	`* New utility - jats_save_build.pl`
		5800	`This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to`

		5812	`The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not`

		5890	`corrected.`
		5891
		5892	`* JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate`

		6043	`* The "package.pl" file.`
		6044	`Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the`
		6045	`package name being taken from the build name`
		6046
		6047	`It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the`
		6048	`package Build Name.`

		6061	`Correct two common situations`
		6062	`1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored`
		6063	`2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not`
		6064	`ansi, but is often done.`
		6065
		6066	`* GCC toolset`
		6067	`Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not`
		6068	`being created in the correct place.`
		6069
		6070	`* jats "label"`
		6071	`The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not`
		6072	`present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.`

		6101	`with the GCC compiler.`
		6102
		6103	`The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values`
		6104	`to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may`
		6105	`need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.`
		6106
		6107	`Minor changes:`
		6108	`* The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives`
		6109	`will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified`

		6118	`Major changes:`
		6119	`* The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives`
		6120	`will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified`
		6121	`with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.`
		6122
		6123	`The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can`

		6132	`and does not contain the file "makefile.pl".`
		6133
		6134	`* SubDir - in makefile.pl`
		6135	`It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist`
		6136	`and does not contain the file "makefile.pl".`
		6137
		6138	`* Jats wrapper`
		6139	`Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file`
		6140	`and then change to the containing directory before execution`
		6141	`further commands.`
		6142
		6143	`Minor changes:`
		6144	`* WinCe and Win32 toolsets`
		6145	`Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the`

		6149	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6150	`Version: JATS_2.15.0 Released: 22-Mar-05`
		6151	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6152	`Major changes:`
		6153	`* WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions`
		6154	`NoPDB - Disable the generation of PDBs`
		6155	`PDB - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).`
		6156
		6157	`These options operation affect all components within the`
		6158	`makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl`
		6159	`then they will affect all components within the build.`
		6160
		6161	`Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some`
		6162	`of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.`
		6163
		6164	`Minor changes:`
		6165
		6166	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6167	`Version: JATS_2.14.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		6168	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`

		6175	`The utility supports -icon=filename.ico`
		6176
		6177	`* The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the`
		6178	`production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.`
		6179
		6180	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6181	`Version: JATS_2.13.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		6182	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6183	`Major changes:`
		6184	`* Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged`
		6185	`the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The`
		6186	`implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can`
		6187	`"installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.`
		6188	`The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as`
		6189	`this is the order in which the libraries will be created and`
		6190	`installed.`
		6191
		6192	`This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared`
		6193	`libraries that depend on each other.`
		6194
		6195	`This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not`
		6196	`generate separate stub libraries to link against.`
		6197
		6198	`Minor changes:`
		6199	`* WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets`
		6200	`Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files`
		6201	`in the "local" and "interface" directory.`
		6202
		6203	`* The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the`
		6204	`first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a`
		6205	`"src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation`
		6206	`of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.`
		6207
		6208	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6209	`Version: JATS_2.12.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		6210	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6211	`Major changes:`
		6212
		6213	`Minor changes:`
		6214	`* Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive`
		6215	`Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction`
		6216	`with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another`
		6217	`file.`
		6218
		6219	`* Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when`
		6220	`a soft link is used to redirect to the package.`
		6221
		6222	`* Win32 and WinCE toolsets`
		6223	`Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.`
		6224	`CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );`
		6225
		6226	`Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of`
		6227	`a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"`
		6228
		6229	`Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries`
		6230	`in the same manner at Shared Libraries.`
		6231
		6232	`* WinCE toolsets`
		6233	`Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve`
		6234	`compiler specific libraries.`
		6235
		6236	`* SOLARIS toolset`
		6237	`Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line`
		6238	`with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with`
		6239	`OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.`
		6240
		6241	`Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared`
		6242	`libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being`
		6243	`cleaned up.`
		6244
		6245	`* Microtec tools set (MOS)`
		6246	`Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args`
		6247
		6248	`* jats_rewriter.pl`
		6249	`Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments`
		6250	`with either " or ' characters.`
		6251
		6252
		6253	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6254	`Version: JATS_2.11.0 Released: 15-Mar-05`
		6255	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6256	`Major changes:`
		6257	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6258	`The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area`
		6259	`The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform`
		6260	`specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories`
		6261
		6262	`Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process`
		6263	`of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.`
		6264
		6265	`* Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the`
		6266	`user.`
		6267
		6268	`* MOS Microtec Toolset`
		6269	`Always present an absolute filename to the compiler`
		6270	`Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress`
		6271
		6272	`This will remove error messages about the path being too long`
		6273	`for the -Gf option.`
		6274
		6275	`Minor changes:`
		6276	`* SOLARIS Toolset`
		6277	`Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line`
		6278
		6279	`* Win32 and WinCE Toolset`
		6280	`Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or`
		6281	`the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to`
		6282	`figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.`
		6283
		6284	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6285	`Version: JATS_2.10.0 Released: 11-Mar-05`
		6286	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6287	`Major changes:`
		6288	`* Extended BuildName to accept the form`
		6289	`BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );`
		6290
		6291	`* MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.`
		6292	`Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and`
		6293	`data addresses for the board.`
		6294
		6295	`BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );`
		6296
		6297	`Will set the code,data address for the debugable image`
		6298
		6299	`* Extended the PackageXxxxx options`
		6300	`1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy`
		6301	`Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the`
		6302	`"platform" name. Only useful within the context of the`
		6303	`PackageFile`
		6304
		6305	`2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile`
		6306	`directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the`
		6307	`platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a`
		6308	`suffix. In practice this is the logical use.`
		6309
		6310	`* Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been`
		6311	`discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files`
		6312	`to be installed and packaged.`
		6313
		6314	`Minor changes:`
		6315
		6316	`* cache_dpkg utility`
		6317	`If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache`
		6318	`entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.`
		6319
		6320	`* label utility`
		6321	`New option -auto to create and label`
		6322
		6323	`* Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files`
		6324	`This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names`
		6325
		6326	`* The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument`
		6327	`This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root`
		6328	`directory. ie:`
		6329
		6330	`BuildDirTree ( '', 'pkg' );`
		6331
		6332	`* Fixed DEVIM 00019520`
		6333	`The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to`
		6334	`the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.`
		6335
		6336
		6337	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6338	`Version: JATS_2.9.0 Released: 28-Feb-05`
		6339	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6340	`Major changes:`
		6341	`* First release for Back Office and Front Office use.`
		6342
		6343	`* Added the jats tool jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.`
		6344	`To be used by the nightly build process.`
		6345
		6346	`* Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.`
		6347	`The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the`
		6348	`compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete`
		6349	`the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.`
		6350
		6351	`The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's`
		6352	`interface directory and to remove all temp files before each`
		6353	`compilation.`
		6354
		6355	`This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.`
		6356
		6357	`Minor changes:`
		6358	`* The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if`
		6359	`one is being produced.`
		6360
		6361	`* Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"`
		6362	`option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better`
		6363	`job of cleaning the workspace.`
		6364
		6365	`* Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS`
		6366
		6367	`* Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive`
		6368
		6369	`* Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.`
		6370	`This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.`
		6371
		6372	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6373	`Version: JATS_2.8.0 Released: 17-Feb-05`
		6374	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6375	`Major changes:`
		6376	`* Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be`
		6377	`installed in order for the compilers to work.`
		6378
		6379	`* New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220`
		6380
		6381	`* All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile`
		6382	`This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the`
		6383	`same directory`
		6384
		6385	`* Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag`
		6386	`_DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the`
		6387	`documenattion.`
		6388
		6389	`Minor changes:`
		6390	`* Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings`
		6391	`Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match`
		6392
		6393	`* Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with`
		6394	`spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.`
		6395
		6396	`* Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.`
		6397	`Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB`
		6398
		6399	`* Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display`
		6400	`when the verbose option had not been selected`
		6401
		6402	`* Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files`
		6403	`would prevent the execution of the command. This command should`
		6404	`be exempt from this test.`
		6405
		6406	`* Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE`
		6407	`platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.`
		6408
		6409	`* The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build`
		6410	`clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.`
		6411
		6412	`Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be`
		6413	`removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"`
		6414	`does.`
		6415
		6416	`* The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will`
		6417	`not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.`
		6418
		6419
		6420	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6421	`Version: JATS_2.7.0 Released: 09-Feb-05`
		6422	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6423	`Major changes:`
		6424	`* First release with support for the DAFBR compiler`
		6425
		6426	`* Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:`
		6427	`--Interface - Pull lib from Interface directory`
		6428	`--Local - Pull lib from Local directory (default)`
		6429	`--SubDir=pathname - Pull lib from a subdirectory`
		6430	`Note: xxxx,pathname still works`
		6431
		6432	`* Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling`
		6433	`operations.`
		6434
		6435	`* Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.`
		6436
		6437	`* Added this manual ChangeLog file`
		6438
		6439	`Minor changes`
		6440	`* Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to`
		6441	`be run in a controlled environment from the command line.`
		6442
		6443	`* Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various`
		6444	`toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the`
		6445	`directory is not added to the library path.`
		6446
		6447	`Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will`
		6448	`not add the xxxx/lib to the path.`
		6449
		6450	`* cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.`
		6451	`The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search`
		6452	`first in an attempt to speed up the process.`
		6453
		6454	`* The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not`
		6455	`begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler`
		6456	`specific flags.`
		6457
		6458	`* The use of linker flags will issue a warning.`
		6459
		6460	`* Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been`
		6461	`determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions`
		6462	`such they are available to the common makefile.pl.`
		6463
		6464	`* Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify`
		6465	`a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of`
		6466	`JATS.`
		6467
		6468	`* Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that`
		6469	`caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.`
		6470
		6471	`* The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS`
		6472	`projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full`
		6473	`pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.`
		6474
		6475	`* The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to`
		6476	`the initial DLL or EXE.`
		6477
		6478	`* Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may`
		6479	`fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created`
		6480	`since the "generate" phase was not being run.`
		6481
		6482	`Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated`
		6483	`and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive`
		6484
		6485	`* JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.`
		6486
		6487	`* The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.`
		6488	`Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.`
		6489
		6490	`* Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if`
		6491	`the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's`
		6492	`objects.`
		6493
		6494	`* Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make`
		6495	`command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in`
		6496	`that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always`
		6497	`build defendants.`
