    * Utility: update_release
8
      Added options:
9
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
10
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
11
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
12
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
13
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
14
      Report filter elements that are not used.
15
 
16
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
17
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
18
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
19
 
20
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
21
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
3893 dpurdie 25
------------------------------------------------------------------------
26
Major changes:
3965 dpurdie 27
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
28
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
29
      intended to build deployed software.
3893 dpurdie 30
 
3965 dpurdie 31
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
32
      the DEVLINUX alias.
33
 
34
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
35
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
36
 
3893 dpurdie 37
Minor changes:
3965 dpurdie 38
    * Jats wrapper script
39
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
40
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
41
      Subversion instance of the command.
42
 
43
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
44
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
45
 
46
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
47
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
48
 
3893 dpurdie 49
    * Utility: jats upddep
50
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
51
      file under windows.
52
 
53
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
54
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
55
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
56
 
57
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
58
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
59
 
3965 dpurdie 60
    * GCC Toolchain
3966 dpurdie 61
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.
3965 dpurdie 62

66
Major changes:
3857 dpurdie 67
    * Jira Issue: JATS-274: Long view name causes legacy package to
68
                            fail to daemon build
3856 dpurdie 69
      Create shorter viewnames when extracting Subversion workspace
70
 
3893 dpurdie 71
    * Documentation
3857 dpurdie 72
      Document the EnvVar ANT_HOME

Version:  3.1.8000.cr                               Released: 04-Jun-13
3830 dpurdie 76
------------------------------------------------------------------------
77
Major changes:
78
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
79
      Support for Intellect PAX.
80
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
81
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
82
 
83
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
84
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.
85

------------------------------------------------------------------------
89
Major changes:
3563 dpurdie 90
    * New Platform: VSDEVRC
91
      Uses an MSP430G2553 processor, a member of the Texas Instruments MSP430
92
      family
3527 dpurdie 93
 
94
Minor changes:
95
    * Utility: jats sandbox
96
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
97
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
3556 dpurdie 98
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
99
      line.
3527 dpurdie 100
 
101
    * Jats Configuration
3556 dpurdie 102
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
3527 dpurdie 103
 
3556 dpurdie 104
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
105
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
106
      and Linux.
107
 
108
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
109
      correctly rippled.
110

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3346 dpurdie 112
Version:  3.1.6000.cr                               Released: 05-Apr-13
113
------------------------------------------------------------------------
114
Major changes:
115
 
116
Minor changes:
117
    * Jats Core
118
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
119
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
120
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
121
 
122
    * Utility: svnsave_build
123
      Used only by the build daemons.
124
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
125
 
126
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
127
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
128
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
129
 
130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3044 dpurdie 131
Version:  3.1.5000.cr                               Released: 13-Feb-13 
132
------------------------------------------------------------------------
133
Major changes:
134
 
135
Minor changes:
136
    * svnrelease utility
137
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
138
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
139
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
140
 
141
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
142
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
143
      the named tag.
144
 
145
    * svnrelease utility
146
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
147
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.
148
 
149
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2930 dpurdie 150
Version:  3.1.4000.cr                               Released: 31-Jan-13

Minor changes:
155
    * CHSHARP Toolset
156
      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
157
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
158
        covered by the makefile.
159
 
160
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
161
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
162
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
163
 
164
    * ALL Toolsets
165
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
166
 
167
    * Utility vcsdiff
168
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
169
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
170
      the default use of BeyondCompare.
171
 
172
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2757 dpurdie 173
Version:  3.1.3000.cr                               Released: 04-Jan-13

Major changes:
176
 
177
Minor changes:
178
    * Subversion Extraction
2650 dpurdie 179
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
180
      directory of the tag.
2489 dpurdie 181
 
2650 dpurdie 182
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
183
      repository.
184
 
185
    * Subversion Support
186
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
187
      showing the user what to do.
188
 
2757 dpurdie 189
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
190
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
191
      we have build support for this target.
192
 
193
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
194
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
195
 
2650 dpurdie 196
Internal:
197
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
198
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
199
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
200
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments
201

2449 dpurdie 212
Version:  3.1.1000.cr                               Released: 14-Nov-12
213
------------------------------------------------------------------------
214
Major changes:
215
 
216
Minor changes:
217
    * Makefile generation
218
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
219
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
220
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
221
      of warnings.
222
 
223
    * Makefile Generation
224
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
225
 
226
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
227
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

2074 dpurdie 232
------------------------------------------------------------------------
233
Major changes:
234
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
235
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
236
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
237
      these operations with a dedicated program.
238
 
2312 dpurdie 239
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2424 dpurdie 240
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2074 dpurdie 241
      windows path scheme.
242
 
243
Minor changes:
2426 dpurdie 244
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
245
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
246
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
247
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
248
 
249
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
250
        jats make clobber
251
      This operates as before.
252
 
253
    * Utility: escrow
254
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
255
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
256
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
257
 
2074 dpurdie 258
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
259
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
260
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
261
 
2424 dpurdie 262
    * Utility: svn : url
263
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
264
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
265
 
266
    * Utility: svn : import
267
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
268
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
269
 
2354 dpurdie 270
    * Subversion Support
2424 dpurdie 271
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
272
      showing the user what to do.
273
 
2354 dpurdie 274
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
275
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
276
      repositories.
277
 
2074 dpurdie 278
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2312 dpurdie 279
Version:  3.0.5000.cr                               Released: 05-Oct-12
280
------------------------------------------------------------------------
281
 
282
Minor changes:
283
    * Jats build
284
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
285
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
286
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
287
 
288
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
289
      command, with a sandbox.
290
 
291
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages

297
Minor changes:
298
    * Utility: svn
299
      Added two subcommands
300
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
301
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
302
                 Can also display available branches.
303
 
2053 dpurdie 304
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
305
      Added '-keepgoing' option to allow the user to ignore errors
2029 dpurdie 306
 
307
    * Utility: rtag_extract
308
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
309
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
310
 
311
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
312
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
313
      Modified two options:
314
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
315
                        The named branch must not exist
316
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
317
                        The named branch must exist
318
      The two options are mutually exclusive.
319

2016 dpurdie 326
      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
327
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
328
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
329
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox
330

Minor changes:
2023 dpurdie 336
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1454 dpurdie 337
      The name of the directory into which the package will be etracted
338
      has been greatly simplified, under most cases.
339
 
340
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
352
 
353
Major changes:
354
    * Jats Version Number
355
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
356
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
357
      significantly.
358
 
359
Minor changes:
360
    * Makefile Generation
361
      Packing of directories filters out .svn subdirectories

Major changes:
1380 dpurdie 370
    * Subversion support
371
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
372
      SubVersion. Changes include:
373
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
374
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
375
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1341 dpurdie 376
 
377
Minor changes:
1359 dpurdie 378
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
379
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
380
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
381
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
382
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
383
 
1341 dpurdie 384
    * Utility: svnsave_build
385
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
386
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
387

    * Subversion Repository location
398
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
399
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
400
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
401
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
406
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
407
 
1269 dpurdie 408
    * Utility: svnrelease
409
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
410
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
411
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
412
 
1328 dpurdie 413
    * Utility: svnsave_build
414
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
415
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
416
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
417
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1269 dpurdie 418
 
419
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
420

      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
424
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
425
 
426
      Subcommand: populate
427
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
428
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
429
      sandbox.
430
 
1269 dpurdie 431
    * Subversion Support
432
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
433
      repository is not supported.
434
 
435
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
436
      a progress indication.
437
 
438
    * Jats Online Documentation
439
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
440
      online documentation.
441
 
1328 dpurdie 442
    * Generated makefiles
443
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

520
Major changes:
521
 
522
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
523
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
524
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
525
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
526
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
527
 
528
    * C# Toolchain
529
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

      jats.sh example (Unix)
538
      Redefined location of the Perth Subversion server AUPERASVN01
539
 
540
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
541
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
542
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
543
 
544
    * Utility ccrelease
545
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
546
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
547
 
548
    * Utility: svn
549
      Improved package import processing.
550
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
551
 
552
    * Jats Utility: gen_cots

      ClearCase is supported on Windows.
556
 
557
    * Jats Utility: vcsdiff
558
      New Utility. Will diff two versions of a package. Supports
559
      mixed ClearCase and Subversion versions.

578
Major changes:
579
 
580
Minor changes:
581
    * Command: jats clobber
582
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
583
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
584
 
585
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
586
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
587
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
588
 
589
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
590
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
591
 
377 dpurdie 592
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
593
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
594
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 595
 
596
    * jats svnlabel
597
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
598
 
599
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
600
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
601
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
602
 
603
    * Built Daemon support
604
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
605
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
606

609
------------------------------------------------------------------------
610
Major changes:
611
    * GCC Toolset
612
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
613
      New methodology is:
614
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
615
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
616
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
617
        as the main binary.
618
 
619
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
620
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
621
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
622
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
623
      both worlds.
624
 
625
Minor changes:
626
    * HTML Documentation
627
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
628
 
629
Internal changes:
630
    * Generated makefiles

637
Major changes:
638
    * Jats Sandbox
639
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
640
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
641
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
642
 
643
    * RIORDS Platform
644
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
645
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion

666
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
667
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
668
 
669
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
670
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
671
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
672
      a vob.
673
 
674
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

711
      in inaccessible directory.
712

736
Minor changes:
737
    * Utility: cclabel
738
      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
739
      the clearcase label.
740
 
741
    * Subversion support

749
Major changes:
750
    * New toolset: ARM251
751
 
752
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
753
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
754
 
755
Minor changes:
756
    * HTML Help
757
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
758
 
759
    * jats build -noforce
760
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
761
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
762
      be forced.
763
 
764
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
765
 
766
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
767
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
768
 
769
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
770
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
771
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
772
 
773
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
774
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
775
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
776
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
777
 
778
    * Utility: svnrelease
779
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
780
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
781
 
782
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
783
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
784
 
785
    * Utility: svn
786
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
787
      installed and can be used.
788
 
789
    * Toolset: CSharp
790
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
791
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
792
      character.
793
 
794
    * Toolset: SunWorks
795
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
796
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
797
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
798
      masking an error.

      up labeling by the build daemons.
1206
 
1207
    * Jats build
1208
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1209
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1210
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1211
 
1212
    * Borland6 toolset
1213
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1214
      to match the documented install location of:
1215
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1216
 
1217
    * Jats build
1218
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1219
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1220
      This is a very quick operation.
1221
 
1222
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1223
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1224
 
1225
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1226
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1227
      files are only recreated if need be.
1228
 
1229
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1230
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1231
      make the package.
1232
 
1233
    * Jats sandbox
1234
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1235
 
1236
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1237
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1238
 
1239
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1240
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1241
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1242
      is performed.
1243
 
1244
Internal:
1245
    * build.pl
1246
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

1278
Major changes:
1279
 
1280
Minor changes:
1281
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1282
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1283
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1284
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1285
 
1286
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1287
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1288
 
1289
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1290
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1291
      platform builds.
1292
 
1293
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1294
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1295
      directory tree.
1296
 
1297

Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
1310
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1311
Major changes:
1312
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1313
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1314
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1315
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1316
 
1317
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1318
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1319
 
1320
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1321
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1322
 
1323
      Examples:
1324
            jats upddep -show
1325
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1326
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1327
 
1328
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1329
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1330
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1331
 
1332
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1333
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1334
 
1335
Minor changes:
1336
 
1337
Internal changes:
1338
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

1343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1344
Major changes:
1345
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1346
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1347
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1348
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1349
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1350
      stream.
1351
 
1352
      Example:
1353
 
1354
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1355
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1356
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1357
                     );
1358
Minor changes:
1359
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1360
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1361
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1362
      directive.
1363
 
1364
    * GCC Toolkit
1365
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1366
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1367
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1368
      the point of termination.
1369
 
1370
    * Jats save_build utility
1371
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1372
      under windows.
1373
 
1374
    * Jats sandbox
1375
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1376
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1377
      in different sandboxes.
1378
 
1379
    * Jats release
1380
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
1381

Minor changes:
1388
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 1389
      Added -locatedir=name
1390
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 1391
      directory.
1392
 
1393
    * jats label utility
1394
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1395
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1396
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1397
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1398
 
1399
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

317 dpurdie 1405
 
1406
Minor changes:
1407
    * WinCe Toolsets
1408
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 1409
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1410
        noExceptions            - Disable
1411
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1412
      Example:
1413
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1414
 
1415
    * Solaris targets
1416
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1417
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1418
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1419
      machine type.

1423
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1424
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1425
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1426
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1427
      project files.
1428
 
1429
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1430
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1431
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1432
 
1433
Minor changes:
1434
    * Added more internal documentation
1435
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1436
 
1437
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1438
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1439
 
1440
    * Jats save_build utility
1441
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1442
      under windows.
1443
 
1444
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1445
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1446
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1447
      libraries.
1448
 
1449
    * Solaris builds
1450
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1451
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1452
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1453
      of the build failure.
1454
 
1455
 
1456
Internal changes:
1457
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1458
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1459
 
1460
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1461
      PkgArchive topics.

1465
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1466
Major changes:
1467
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1468
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1469
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1470
      existing 32-bit builds.
1471
 
1472
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1473
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1474
 
1475
Minor changes:
1476
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1477
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1478
 
1479
    * Package searching
1480
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1481
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1482
 
1483
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1484
 
1485
    * jats help
1486
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1487
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1488
 
1489
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1490
      with one of:
1491
        jats -h
1492
        jats help jats
1493
 
1494
Internal:
1495
    * cmdfile utility
1496
      Added macros:
1497
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1498
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1499
 
1500
      Corrected
1501
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1502
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1503
 
1504
      Extended
1505
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1506
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1507
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1508
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Internal changes
1518
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1519
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1520
      Useful side effects include:
1521
 
1522
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1523
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1524
 
1525
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1526
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1527
 
1528
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1529
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1530
        BuildPkgArchive
1531
 
313 dpurdie 1532
    * Perl Modules
1533
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1534
      release. This will:
1535
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1536
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1537
          reported by ERG.
1538
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1547
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1548
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1549
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1550
 
1551
    * Jats label utility
1552
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1553
 
1554
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1555
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1556
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1557
 
1558
    * Jats core
1559
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1560
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1561
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1570
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1571
      This is now fixed.
1572
 
309 dpurdie 1573
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1574
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1575
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1576
 
1577
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005

      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1588
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1589
      an error.
1590
 
1591
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1592
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1593
 
1594
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1595
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 1596

Version:  2.80.0000.cr                               Released: 04-Nov-09
1600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1601
Major changes:
1602
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1603
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1604
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1605
 
1606
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1607
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1608
 
1609
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1610
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1611
      Support includes
1612
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1613
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1614
 
1615
Minor changes:
1616
    * Build file processing
1617
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1618
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1619
 
1620
    * MOS builds
1621
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1622
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1623
 
1624
    * MOS builds
1625
      New 'known' product: PICP
1626
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1627
 
1628
    * GenerateFiles directive
1629
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1630
        under windows.
1631
 
1632
        .
1633
 
1634
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1635
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1636
 
1637
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1638
      to the output stream.
1639
 
1640
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1641
 
1642
    * Windows Shell
1643
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1644
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1645
 
1646
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1647
 
1648
    * H8S toolset
1649
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1650
 
1651
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1652
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1653
 
1654
Internal changes
1655
    * WinCe builds
1656
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1657
      content of the file.
1658
 
1659
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1660
 
1661
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1662
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
1663

1673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1674
Major changes:
1675
 
1676
Minor changes:
1677
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1678
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1679
      Changes are transparent to users.
1680
 
1681
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1682
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1683
      this occurs.
1684
 
1685
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1686
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1687
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1688
      automated build framework.
1689
 
1690
    * jats sandbox command
1691
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1692
      'create' command.
1693
 
1694
    * jats command aliases. Added
1695
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1696
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

1700
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1701
Major changes:
1702
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1703
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1704
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1705
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1706
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1707
      will work as expected
1708
 
1709
Minor changes:
1710
    * VS2008 Toolset
1711
      Picking up incorrect config details
1712
      May result in a warning message.
1713
 
1714
    * gen_cots utility
1715
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1716
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1717
 
1718
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1719
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
1720

1766
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1767
Major changes:
1768
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1769
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1770
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1771
 
1772
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1773
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1774
 
1775
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1776
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1777
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1778
           names cannot be changed.
1779
 
1780
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1781
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1782
 
1783
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1784
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1785
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1786
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1787
 
1788
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1789
      file.
1790
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1791
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1792
      MyPackage.dpk.
1793
 
1794
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1795
      file.
1796
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1797
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1798
      MyDll.dpr.
1799
 
1800
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1801
      file.
1802
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1803
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1804
      MyProg.dpr.
1805
 
1806
Minor changes:
1807
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1808
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1809
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1810
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1811
 
1812
    * BuildVersion directive
1813
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1814
      in a Delphi Unit.
1815
 
1816
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1817
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1818
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1819
      'know' the location of the files.
1820
 
1821
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
1822
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
1823
 
1824
Internal Changes:
1825
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
1826
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
1827
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
1828
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
1829
 
1830
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
1831
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
1832
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
1833

287 dpurdie 1835
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
1836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1837
Major changes:
1838
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
1839
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
1840
      information for purely C++ builds.
1841
 
289 dpurdie 1842
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
1843
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 1844
 
289 dpurdie 1845
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
1846
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
1847
            Manager
287 dpurdie 1848
 
1849
Minor changes:
1850
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
1851
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
1852
 
1853
    * updatenodespec utility
1854
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
1855
      Manager database.

1865
      Not completly fixed, but much better than before.
1866
 
1867
    * Escrow tool
1868
      Remove warning created during normal operation
1869

1878
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
1879
 
1880
Minor changes:
1881
    * MergeLibrary directive
1882
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
1883
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
1884
 
1885

1891
Minor changes:
1892
    * New command: jats make show
1893
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
1894
      used in the build.
1895
 
1896
    * Escrow command
1897
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
1898
 
1899
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
1900
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
1901
      build files against the Release Manager information.
1902
 
1903
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
1904
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
1905
 
1906

277 dpurdie 1908
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1909
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 1910
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 1911
 
279 dpurdie 1912
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
1913
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
1914
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 1915
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 1916
 
1917
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
1918
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
1919
 
1920
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
1921
 
1922
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
1923
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
1924
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
1925
 
1926
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
1927
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
1928
        processed.
1929
 
1930
      Removed the '-delete' option
1931
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
1932
 
277 dpurdie 1933
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 1934
    * Sandbox command
1935
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
1936
 
1937
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
1938
      target from consideration in the build set.
1939
 
1940
    * MCR Toolset
1941
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
1942
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
1943
 
1944
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
1945
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
1946
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
1947
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
1948
 
1949
    * Jats run_test command
1950
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
1951
      tests we run on a Window machine.
1952
 
1953
    * descpkg file
1954
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
1955
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
1956
 
1957
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
1958
     Now contains build trace information
1959
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
1960
 
1961
   * jats abt command simplified usage
1962
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
1963
     it contains 'jar' files.
1964
 
1965
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
1966
 
1967
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
1968
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
1969
 
1970
   * BuildVersion directive
1971
     Form:
1972
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
1973
     now works as expected.
1974
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
1975
 
1976

2373
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
2374
      makefiles
2375
 
2376
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
2377
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
2378
 
2379
    * FileUtils package.
2380
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.

257 dpurdie 2395
Major changes:
2396
 
2397
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
2398
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
2399
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
2400
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
2401
 
2402
Minor changes:
2403
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
2404
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
2405
 
2406
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
2407
      some windows tools.

2411
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2412
Major changes:
2413
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
2414
      The product must be installed in its default location.
2415
 
2416
      New platforms:
2417
        CSHARP2005
2418
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
2419
         Support extends to allow:
2420
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2421
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2422
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2423
 
2424
        VS2005
2425
         Support extends to allow:
2426
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2427
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2428
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2429
 
2430
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2431
      through a version selector:
2432
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2433
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2434
 
2435
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2436
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2437
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2438
 
2439
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2440
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2441
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2442
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2443
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2444
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2445
          under VS2005.
2446
 
2447
Minor changes:
2448
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
2449
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.

      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
2451
 
2452
    * PPC_603E Toolset
2453
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
2454
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
2455
 
2456
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2457
 
2458
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2459
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2460
 
2461
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2462
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2463
      a minimal value of perl.
2464
 
2465
      Removed excessive require statements.
2466
 
2467
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
2468
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
2469
      Include JATS specific files for
2470
        1) Windows
2471
        2) Linux
2472
 
2473
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2474
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2475
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2476
      machines.
2477
 
2478
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2479
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
2480
 
2481
    * JATS Environment
2482
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
2483
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2484
 
2485
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2486
      wrapper scripts.
2487
 
2488
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2489
      Correct problem with location of build files.
2490
      Spell check help and code.

      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
2522
      reviewing a new package.
2523
 
2524
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2525
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are

2543
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 2544
  * New toolset and platform
2545
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
2546
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
2547
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
2548
    this platform.
2549
 
2550
Minor changes:
2551
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
2552
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
2553
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
2554
    work.
2555
 
2556
  * Jats utility: release
2557
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
2558
    published to dpkg_archive.
2559
 
249 dpurdie 2560
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 2561
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
2562
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
2563
    supported for ANT builds.
2564
 
2565
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
2566
        releasemanager.releasename
2567
        releasemanager.projectname
2568
 
2569
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
2570
    tagged data item of the form
2571
 
2572
        releasemanager.releasename = value
2573
        releasemanager.projectname = value
2574
 
2575
  * Mug File Generation
2576
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2577
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2578
 
2579
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2580
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2581
    required.
2582
 
2583
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2584
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2585
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2586
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2587
    the files in order to use them.
2588
 
2589
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2590
    locate the file.
2591
 
2592
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2593
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2594
 
2595
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2596
        * CSharp
2597
        * Properties
2598
        * WinRC
2599
 
2600
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2601
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2602
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2603
    Value is correctly assigned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2608
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2609
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2610
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2611
 
2612
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2613
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2614
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2615
 
2616
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2617
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2618
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2619
 
2620
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2621
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2622
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2623
 
2624
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2625
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2626
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2627
    correct.
2628
 
2629
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2630
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2631
 
2632
Minor changes:
2633
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2634
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2635
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2636
 
2637
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2638
    This will simplify new user setup.
2639
 
2640
  * All Unix Toolsets
2641
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2642
    on unix systems
2643
 
2644
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2645
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2646
    on some Solaris Machines.
2647
 
2648
  * JATS -version=<version>
2649
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2650
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2651

2694
 
2695
  * JATS builds
2696
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

2698
    mode.
2699
 
2700
  * JATS makefiles
2701
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2702
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2703
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2704
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2705
                            SetList directive.
2706
 
2707

2715
 
2716
  * JATS buildfile processing
2717
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
2718
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
2719
    of JATS.
2720
 
2721

      can have production (PIC) components.
2760
 
2761
    * Utility command: jats abt
2762
      Parse and use -buildfile=xxx option
2763
 
2764
    * Utility command: jats extract -extractfiles
2765
      The extractfiles option will now duplicate empty directories
2766
 
2767
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
2768
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
2769
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
2770
      Previously only worked on Windows

2808
    * MOS Compiler
2809
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2810
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
2811
 
2812
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2813
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
2814
      descpkg files to be copied.
2815
 
2816
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
2817
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

2851
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 2852
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
2853
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
2854
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
2855
 
2856
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2857
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
2858
 
2859
    * Jats wrapper
2860
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
2861
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
2862
 
2863

Version: 2.72.00000.cr                                Released: 11-Jan-08
2865
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2866
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 2867
    * Jats Release Mechanism
2868
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
2869
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
2870
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
2871
 
2872
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
2873
 
2874
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
2875
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
2876
 
2877
    * Running Jats
2878
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
2879
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
2880
      This may affect some windows developers.
2881
 
2882
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
2883
      Future versions will generate an error.
2884
 
2885
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
2886
 
2887
Minor changes:
2888
    * Perl Version Check
2889
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
2890
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
2891
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
2892
 
2893
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
2894
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
2895
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
2896
      build.
2897
 
2898
    * Jats Internals
2899
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
2900
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
2901
 
2902
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
2903
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
2904
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
2905
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
2906
      process.
2907
 
2908
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
2909
      Only works under Windows.
2910
 
2911
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
2912
 
2913
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
2914
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
2915
 
2916
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2917
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
2918
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
2919
 
2920
    * Jats eprog
2921
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
2922
      directory.
2923
 
2924
    * jats tool jats_metrics
2925
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
2926
      build metrics.
2927

2931
Major changes:
2932
 
2933
Minor changes:
2934
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
2935
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
2936
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
2937
      automated build system. New options are:
2938
        -pname=Package_Name
2939
        -pversion=Package_Version
2940
 
2941
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
2942
      transferring the package. New options are:
2943
        -test
2944
 
2945
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2946
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
2947
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
2948
 
2949
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
2950
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
2951
 
2952
    * Solaris Toolset
2953
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
2954
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
2955
      programs are still supported.
2956

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2960
Major changes:
2961
 
2962
Minor changes:
2963
    * WINCE toolsets
2964
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
2965
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
2966
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
2967
      when header files cannot be found.
2968
 
2969
    * GenerateFiles directive
2970
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
2971
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
2972
      that are difficult to solve.
2973
 
2974
    * MakePerlModule directive
2975
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
2976
      to the the module builder.
2977
 
2978
    * Jats Tool: label
2979
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
2980
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
2981
      -dirs=xxx options.
2982
 
2983
    * Jats Tool: release
2984
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
2985
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
2986
 
2987
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
2988
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
2989
 
2990
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2991
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
2992
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
2993
 
2994
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

3001
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3002
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3003
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3004
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions

3012
      transfer.
3013
 
3014
    * make clean up
3015
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3016
 
3017
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3018
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3019
      minor file transformations such as:
3020
        Copy, with optional rename
3021
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3022
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3023
 
3024
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3025
 
3026
    * jats release utility
3027
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3028
      in place.
3029
 
3030
    * escrow utility
3031
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3032
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

3039
Minor changes:
3040
    * Makefile generation
3041
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3042
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3043
      generate phase early.

3048
Major changes:
3049
 
3050
Minor changes:
3051
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3052
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3053
 
3054
    * Makefile generation
3055
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3056
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3057
 
3058
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3059
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3060
 
3061
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3062
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3063
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3064
 
3065
    * jats_rewrite utility
3066
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3067
 
3068
    * jats escrow utility
3069
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3070
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3071
 
3072
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3073
      inconsistent packages.
3074
 
3075
    * jats make help
3076
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
3077
      available within the current build.
3078
 
3079
    * jats makefiles
3080
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
3081
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
3082
 
3083
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
3084
      pl, then it will be ignored.
3085
 
3086
    * gcc toolset
3087
      SharedLibries.
3088
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
3089
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
3090
 
3091
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
3092
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
3093
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
3094
 
3095
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
3096
        New options:
3097
            --MultiScan
3098
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
3099
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
3100
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

3105
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3106
Major changes:
3107
 
3108
Minor changes:
3109
    PackageLib directive
3110
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
3111
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
3112
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
3113
 
3114
    MakefileGenerate directive
3115
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
3116
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
3117
 
3118
    Multiple Parent detection
3119
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
3120
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
3121
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
3122
    condition will be treated as a warning.
3123
 
3124
    Solaris Toolset
3125
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
3126
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
3127
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
3128
    link.
3129
 
3130
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
3131
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
3132
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
3133
 
3134
    Make and generation of subdirectories
3135
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
3136
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
3137
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3142
Major changes:
3143
    Makefile generation and make recursion
3144
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
3145
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
3146
 
3147
    Summary of changes:
3148
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
3149
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
3150
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
3151
          flexibility.
3152
 
3153
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
3154
 
3155
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
3156
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
3157
          interface directory and associated build information.
3158
 
3159
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
3160
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
3161
          than one second.
3162
 
3163
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
3164
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
3165
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
3166
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
3167
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
3168
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
3169
 
3170
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
3171
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
3172
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
3173
 
3174
        - Better makefile rebuilding
3175
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
3176
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
3177
          building them.
3178
 
3179
        - Detection of build file changes
3180
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
3181
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
3182
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
3183
 
3184
        - Quieter make output
3185
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
3186
 
3187
 
3188
Minor changes:
3189
    MakeAnt Directive
3190
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
3191
 
3192
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
3193
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
3194
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
3195
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
3196
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
3197
 
3198
    CSHARP toolset
3199
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
3200

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
3208
    are generated.
3209
 
3210
    MakeAnt
3211
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3212
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3213
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3214
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
3215
 
3216
    MCR platform

3225
Minor changes:
3226
    MakeAnt directive extended
3227
    New option: --PackageBase
3228
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3229
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3230
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3231
 
3232
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3233
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3234
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3235
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
3255
 
3256
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
3257
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3258
 
3259
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3260
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3261
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3262
 
3263
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
3264
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
3265
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
3266
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

3293
Minor changes:
3294
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3295
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3296
 
3297
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3298
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3299
      last.
3300
 
3301
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3302
 
3303
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3304
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3305
 
3306
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3307
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3308
 
3309
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3310
 
3311
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3312
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3313
 
3314
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3315
 
3316
 
3317
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3318
           with the --System option
3319
 
3320
    * LMOS target platform

3326
Major changes:
3327
 
3328
Minor changes:
3329
    * Solaris Toolset
3330
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
3331
      dependent packages.
3332
 
3333
    * RunTest operation
3334
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
3335
 
3336
    * Csharp toolkit
3337
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too

3340
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
3341
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3342
Major changes:
3343
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3344
 
3345
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3346
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3347
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3348
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3349
      path.
3350
 
3351
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3352
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3353
      reproducible.
3354
 
3355
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3356
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3357
 
3358
      There are several aspects to the change
3359
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3360
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3361
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3362
 
3363
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3364
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3365
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3366
          controlled separately.
3367
 
3368
Minor changes:
3369
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3370
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3371
        Remove duplicates
3372
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3373

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3376
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3377
Major changes:
3378
 
3379
Minor changes:
3380
    * Makefile sanity test
3381
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3382
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3383
 
3384
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3385
      x86 machine.
3386
 
3387
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3388
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3389
 
3390
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3391
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3392
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3393
Major changes:
3394
    * RunTest directive
3395
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3396
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3397
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3398
 
3399
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3400
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3401
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3402
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3403
 
3404
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3405
        builder within the current toolset.
3406
 
3407
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3408
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3409
 
3410
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3411
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3412
      containing the RunTest directive.
3413
 
3414
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3415
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3416
 
3417
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3418
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3419
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3420
 
3421
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3422
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3423
                            P or D suffix.
3424
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3425
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3426
 
3427
Minor changes:
3428
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3429
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3430
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3431
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3432
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3433
 
3434
    * Save Build Utility
3435
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3436
      used in a ripple build.
3437
 
3438
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3439
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3440
 
3441
    * Release Utility
3442
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3443
      when an error is encountered.
3444
 
3445
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3446
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3447
 
3448
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3449
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3450
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3451
 
3452
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3453
      before the makefiles are created.
3454
 
3455
    * TestProg directive
3456
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3457
 
3458
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3459
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3460
 
3461

3464
Major changes:
3465
    * New build target
3466
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3467
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3468
 
3469
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3470
            DEVLINUX
3471
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3472
 
3473
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3474
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3475
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3476
 
3477
Minor changes:
3478
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3479
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3480
 
3481
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3482
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3483
 
3484
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3485
      and .cs files.
3486
 
3487
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3488
      thing.
3489
 
3490
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3491
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3492
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3493
      were it places temp files.
3494
 
3495
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3496
      interaction with other builds.
3497
 
3498
    * Release utility command
3499
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3500
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3501
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3518
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3519
 
3520
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

Version: JATS_2.65.2                                Released: 06-Jun-07
3548
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3549
Major changes:
3550
 
3551
Minor changes:
3552
  * WINCE Support
3553
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3554
 
3555
  * Removed the following targets
3556
        TP5600
3557
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3558
        TP5600_EMU
3559
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3560
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3561
 
3562
  * Deployment
3563
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3564
 
3565
  * build.pl
3566
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3567
 
3568
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3569
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3570
 
3571
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3572
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3573
    build.
3574
 
3575
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3576
 
3577
  * Tool: escrow
3578
     New features
3579
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3580
     are not in the SBOM.
3581
 
3582
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3583
 
3584
     Specify packages to be ignored.
3585
 
3586
 
3587
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3588
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3589
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3590
Major changes:
3591
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3592
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3593
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3594
 
3595
  * GenerateFiles
3596
    Added the options:
3597
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3598
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3599
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3600
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3601
 
3602
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3603
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3604
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3605
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3606
                                  required.
3607
 
3608
 
3609
Minor changes:
3610
  * GenerateFile directive
3611
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3612
 
3613
  * GCC Toolset
3614
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3615
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3616
    be rebuilt.
3617
 
3618
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3619
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3620
 
3621
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3622
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3623
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3624
Major changes:
3625
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3626
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3627
    environment variables.
3628
 
3629
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3630
            moved.
3631
 
3632
    This will affect users that:
3633
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3634
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3635
 
3636
        2) Use the ABT system
3637
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3638
           the required configuration
3639
 
3640
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3641
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3642
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3643
    Windows
3644
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3645
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3646
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3647
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3648
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3649
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3650
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3651
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3652
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3653
 
3654
 
3655
  * New build platforms
3656
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3657
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3658
 
3659
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3660
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3661
 
3662
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3663
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3664
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3665
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3666
 
3667
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3668
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3669
    release.
3670
 
3671
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3672
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3673
 
3674
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3675
    need to be converted.
3676
 
3677
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3678
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3679
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3680
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3681
    used for different targets platforms.
3682
 
3683
  * Sandbox support
3684
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3685
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3686
 
3687
    New command: jats sandbox ...
3688
 
3689
Minor changes:
3690
 
3691
 
3692
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3693
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
3694
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3695
Major changes:
3696
  * MakeAnt directive
3697
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3698
 
3699
    New options
3700
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3701
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3702
 
3703
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3704
    run_unit_tests phase.
3705
 
3706
  * Sandbox support
3707
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3708
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3709
 
3710
Minor changes:
3711
  * jats build
3712
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3713
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3714
 
3715
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3716
 
3717
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3718
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3719
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3720
 
3721
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3722
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3723
 
3724
  * JATS.BAT
3725
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3726
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3727
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3728
 
3729
  * jats label
3730
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3731
 
3732
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3733
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3734
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3735
Major changes:
3736
  * New build platform:
3737
        LMOS_TP5600
3738
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3739
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3740
 
3741
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3742
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3743
    describe the group of platforms.
3744
 
3745
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3746
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3747
    build these targets.
3748
 
3749
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3750
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3751
 
3752
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3753
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3754
 
3755
  * New build platform: WINCE
3756
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3757
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3758
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3759
 
3760
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3761
            WCEIT3000
3762
            WCEPA961
3763
            WCEPA962
3764
            WCEPCM7220
3765
            WCEPSION_420
3766
            WCEPSPC_arm
3767
            WCEPSPC_emu
3768
            WCEX86A420
3769
            WCEX86A500
3770
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
3771
 
3772
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3773
 
3774
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3775
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3776
    that contain packaging directives.
3777
 
3778
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3779
    very unusual configurations.
3780
 
3781
Minor changes:
3782
  * Directive: PackageFile
3783
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3784
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3785
    an '='.
3786
 
3787
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3788
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3789
 
3790
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3791
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3792
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3793
 
3794
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3795
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3796
 
3797
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3798
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3799
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3800
Major changes:
3801
 
3802
  * JATS release command
3803
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3804
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3805
 
3806
    Rules are:
3807
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3808
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3809
                            File will be placed on a branch
3810
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3811
                            New directory will branch
3812
 
3813
Minor changes:
3814
  * JATS release command
3815
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3816
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3817
 
3818
  * JATS label command
3819
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
3820
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
3821
 
3822
  * JATS make
3823
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
3824
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
3825
    was re-packaged.
3826
 
3827
  * JATS escrow
3828
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
3829
    Use jats escrow -help for details
3830
 
3831
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
3832
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
3833
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
3834
 
3835
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
3836
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
3837
    interface directory.
3838
 
3839
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
3840
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
3841
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
3842
    directory as seen by the package.
3843
 
3844
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
3845
 
3846
  * JAVA 6
3847
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
3848
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
3849
 
3850
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
3851
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
3852
 
3853
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
3854
 
3855
  * Jats command: vars
3856
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
3857
    These indicate potential problems.
3858
 
3859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3860
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
3861
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3862
Major changes:
3863
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
3864
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
3865
    libarry is also created.
3866
 
3867
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
3868
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
3869
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
3870
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
3871
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
3872
    information contained within the file.
3873
 
3874
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
3875
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
3876
 
3877
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
3878
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
3879
 
3880
  * Building Perl Modules
3881
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
3882
    documentation on the build machine.
3883
 
3884
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
3885
 
3886
Minor changes:
3887
  * jats create_dpkg
3888
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
3889
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
3890
 
3891
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3892
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
3893
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3894
Major changes:
3895
  * JATS JAVA build target
3896
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
3897
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
3898
 
3899
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
3900
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
3901
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
3902
    is then picked up as the default version.
3903
 
3904
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
3905
    build.pl file.
3906
 
3907
Minor changes:
3908
  * jats release
3909
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
3910
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
3911
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
3912
 
3913
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
3914
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
3915
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
3916
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
3917
    the name of the view.
3918
 
3919
  * GenerateFiles directive
3920
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
3921
 
3922
  * MOS Toolset
3923
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
3924
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
3925
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
3926

Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
3932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3933
Major changes:
3934
 
3935
Minor changes:
3936
  * JATS environment
3937
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
3938
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
3939
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
3940
 
3941
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
3942
 
3943
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
3944
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
3945
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
3946
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
3947
    to be packaged.
3948
 
3949
  * Generated makefiles
3950
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
3951
 
3952
  * Generating MOS THX files
3953
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
3954
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
3955
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
3956
 
3957
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
3958
 
3959
  * JATS release
3960
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
3961
 
3962
  * JATS extract
3963
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
3964
 
3965
  * JATS Toolset
3966
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
3967
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
3968
 
3969

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3971
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
3972
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3973
Major changes:
3974
 
3975
Minor changes:
3976
  * jats label
3977
    Added a -vob=name option
3978
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
3979
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
3980
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
3981
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
3982
 
3983
    Added a -user=name option
3984
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
3985
    label to the named user.
3986
 
3987
  * jats release
3988
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
3989
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
3990
 
3991
  * JATS build.pl
3992
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
3993
    ie:
3994
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

3999
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4000
Major changes:
4001
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4002
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4003
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4004
    the makefile internals. ie:
4005
        --Var(BuildName)
4006
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4007
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4008
 
4009
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4010
 
4011
  * GenerateFiles
4012
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4013
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4014
 
4015
  * BuildPlatforms
4016
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4017
 
4018
Minor changes:
4019
  * GCC Toolset
4020
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4021
 
4022
Internal changes:
4023
  * GenerateFiles
4024
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4025
 
4026
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4027
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4028
 
4029
 
4030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4031
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4032
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4033
Major changes:
4034
  * Caching JATS
4035
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4036
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4037
 
4038
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4039
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4040
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4041
 
4042
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4043
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4044
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4045
 
4046
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4047
 
4048
Minor changes:
4049
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4050
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4051
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4052
 
4053
  * jats build
4054
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4055
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4056
    processed by the build.
4057
 
4058
  * jats build
4059
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4060
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4061
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4062
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4063
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4064
 
4065
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4066
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4067
    Path is not specified.
4068
 
4069
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4070
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4071
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4072
        --Dir=$Pinc
4073
    but $Pinc is not defined.
4074
 
4075
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
4076
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
4077
    Windows platform.
4078
 
4079
        - OPTIONS=purecov
4080
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
4081
            by 'purecov.
4082
 
4083
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4084
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
4085
 
4086
        - OPTIONS=purify
4087
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
4088
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
4089
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
4090

4094
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4095
Major changes:
4096
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
4097
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
4098
    Example:
4099
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
4100
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
4101
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
4102
 
4103
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
4104
    been determined.
4105
 
4106
Minor changes:
4107
  * Added the ScanList directive.
4108
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
4109
    located at build-time.
4110
 
4111
  * Unix based systems
4112
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
4113
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
4114
 
4115
  * MakeLinuxDriver
4116
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
4117
    driver being built.
4118

4132
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
4133
 
4134
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
4135
    dependancy information within a package.
4136
 
4137
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
4138
    messages.

4150
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
4151
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
4152
                      be run on every invocation.
4153
 
4154
 
4155

  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
4161
  There are two mechanism:
4162
 
4163
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
4164
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
4165
 
4166
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
4167
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
4168
 
4169
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
4170
  default.

4178
  * SunWorks Toolset
4179
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
4180
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
4181
    It is based on machine type.
4182
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
4183
 
4184
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
4185
 
4186

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4214
 
4215
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4216
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4217
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4218
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4219
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4220
 
4221
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4222
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4223
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232

        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4225
 
4226
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4227
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

4289
    Theses are:
4290
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4291
        SOLARIS_AMD
4292
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The

  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4314
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4315
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4316
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4317

  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4325
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4326
    library without creating the body of the library:

4334
 
4335
  * JATS BIN directories
4336
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4337
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4338
    using autoconf.
4339
 
4340
  * Generate directive
4341
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4342
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4343
 
4344
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.

4348
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4349
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4350
Major changes:
4351
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4352
    Initial release.
4353
 
4354
Minor changes:
4355
 
4356
 
4357
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4358
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4359
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4360
Major changes:
4361
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4362
    Initial release.
4363
 
4364
  * Packaging directives
4365
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4366
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4367
 
4368
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4369
        SOLARIS
4370
        WIN32
4371
 
4372
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4373
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4374
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4375
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4376
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4377
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4378
 
4379
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4380
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4381
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4382
 
4383
 
4384
Minor changes:
4385
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4386
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4387
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4388
 
4389
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4390
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4391
    location
4392
 
4393
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4394
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4395
 
4396
  * Utility genrc
4397
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4398
 
4399
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4400
    Added option: -new
4401
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4402
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4403
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4404
 
4405
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4406
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4407
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4408
 
4409
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4410
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4411
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4412
 
4413
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4414
   features - in a uniform manner.
4415
 
4416
 
4417
Internal Changes:
4418
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4419
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4420
 
4421
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4422
        1) Platform information available at build time
4423
        2) Dynamic platform names
4424
 
4425
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4426
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4427
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4428
 
4429
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4430
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4431
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4432
 
4433
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4434
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4435
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4436
    needed.
4437
 
4438
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4439
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4440
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4441
    files from all of these.
4442
 
4443
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4444
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
4445
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4446
Major changes:
4447
 
4448
Minor changes:
4449
  * WinCE toolset
4450
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4451
 
4452
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4453
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4454
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4455
Major changes:
4456
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4457
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4458
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4459
 
4460
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4461
 
4462
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4463
    the operations.
4464
 
4465
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4466
 
4467
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4468
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4469
 
4470
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4471
 
4472
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4473
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4474
 
4475
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4476
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4477
    Extended the built-in help
4478
    Added useful error messages
4479
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4480
 
4481
  * WinCE toolset
4482
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4483
 
4484
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4485
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4486
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4487
 
4488
Minor changes:
4489
  * JATS wrapper script
4490
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4491
    the command line.
4492
 
4493
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4494
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4495
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4496
 
4497
Internal Changes:
4498
  * Common Error Reporting
4499
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4500
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4501
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4502
    level.
4503
 
4504
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4505
    displayed.
4506
 
4507
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4508
 
4509
  * Added JatsSystem module
4510
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4512
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
4513
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4514
Major changes:
4515
 
4516
Minor changes:
4517
  * BR Compiler toolset
4518
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4519
    .def files to include other files.
4520
 
4521
  * IAR toolset
4522
    Added AT7272 support
4523
 
4524
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4525
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4526
 
4527
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4528
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
4529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4530
Major changes:
4531
 
4532
Minor changes:
4533
  * BR Compiler toolset
4534
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4535
    use.
4536
 
4537
 
4538
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4539
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4540
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4541
Major changes:
4542
 
4543
Minor changes:
4544
  * Mictotec toolset
4545
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4546
    builds.
4547
 
4548
  * JATS Core
4549
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4550
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4551
    behaviour.
4552
 
4553
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4554
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4555
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4556
Major changes:
4557
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4558
    Deployment package will be affected.
4559
 
4560
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4561
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4562
 
4563
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4564
 
4565
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4566
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4567
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4568
    packages.
4569
 
4570
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4571
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4572
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4573
 
4574
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4575
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4576
 
4577
Minor changes:
4578
  * SubDir directive
4579
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4580
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4581
 
4582
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4583
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4584
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4585
    of the file usage.
4586
 
4587
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4588
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4589
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4590
 
4591
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4592
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4593
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4594
 
4595
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4596
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4597
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4598
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4599
 
4600
 
4601
Internal Changes:
4602
  * Code refactor
4603
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4604
 
4605
  * Deployment utilities
4606
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4607
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4608
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4609
    the module can locate the file.
4610
 
4611
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4612
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4613
 
4614
  * JATS core
4615
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4616
 
4617
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4618
 
4619
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4620
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4621
    through the use of environment variables.
4622
 
4623
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4624
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4625
 
4626
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4627
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4628
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4629
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4630
 
4631
  * Make environment
4632
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4633
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4634
 
4635
 
4636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4637
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4638
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4639
Major changes:
4640
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4641
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4642
 
4643
 
4644
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4645
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4646
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4647
 
4648
Not Released.
4649
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4650
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4651
 
4652
 
4653
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4654
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4655
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4656
Major changes:
4657
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4658
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4659
    radically replaced.
4660
 
4661
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4662
    Usage:
4663
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4664
 
4665
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4666
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4667
    this solution:
4668
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4669
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4670
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4671
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4672
 
4673
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4674
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4675
    order to work.
4676
 
4677
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4678
    reduced functionality.
4679
 
4680
 
4681
Minor changes:
4682
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4683
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4684
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4685
 
4686
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4687
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4688
    within the makefiles.
4689
        Options:
4690
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4691
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4692
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4693
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4694
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4695
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4696
        Useage:
4697
 
4698
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4699
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4700
 
4701
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4702
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4703
    is not in the current directory.
4704
 
4705
  * Jats Command: ant'
4706
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4707
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4708
 
4709
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4710
 
4711
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4712
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4713
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4714
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4715
 
4716
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4717
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4718
    Thus
4719
 
4720
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4721
 
4722
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4723

4726
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4727
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4728
Major changes:
4729
 
4730
Minor changes:
4731
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4732
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4733
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4734
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4735
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4736
 
4737
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4738
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4739
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4740
 
4741
Internal changes:
4742
  * JATS toolsets
4743
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4744
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4745
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4746
 
4747
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4748
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4749
 
4750
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4751
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4752
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4753
Major changes:
4754
  * Jats command: etool
4755
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4756
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4757
 
4758
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4759
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4760
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4761
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4762
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4763
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4764

4769
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4770
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4771
Major changes:
4772
  * JATS environment variables
4773
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4774
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4775
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4776
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4777
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4778
 
4779
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4780
              Remote repository
4781
 
4782
    Added GBE_DPLY
4783
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4784
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4785
 
4786
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4787
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4788
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4789
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4790
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4791
 
4792
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4793
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4794
 
4795
 
4796
Minor changes:
4797
  * JATS utility: build
4798
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4799
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4800
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4801
 
4802
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4803
    Ensure label is not locked
4804
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4805
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4806
 
4807
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4808
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4809
    to a specific type of build.
4810
 
4811
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
4812
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
4813
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
4814
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
4815
 
4816
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
4817
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
4818
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
4819
 
4820
  * JATS utility: release
4821
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
4822
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
4823
 
4824
  * JATS utility: label
4825
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
4826
    when it is being created.
4827
 
4828
Internal Changes
4829
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
4830
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
4831
 
4832
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
4833
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
4834
 
4835
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
4836
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
4837
    different results.
4838
 
4839
  * ToolsetRequire directive
4840
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
4841
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
4842
 
4843
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4844
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
4845
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4846
Major changes:
4847
 
4848
  * MCR toolset
4849
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
4850
 
4851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4852
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
4853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4854
Major changes:
4855
  * WIN32 utilities
4856
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
4857
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
4858
 
4859
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
4860
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
4861
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
4862
 
4863
Minor changes:
4864
  * BuildVersion
4865
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
4866
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
4867
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
4868
 
4869
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
4870
 
4871
  * Unix Builds
4872
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
4873
    library or a shared library.
4874
 
4875
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
4876
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
4877
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
4878
    start with 'lib'.
4879
 
4880
  * BuildPkgArchive
4881
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
4882
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
4883
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
4884
 
4885
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4886
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
4887
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4888
Major changes:
4889
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4890
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
4891
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
4892
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
4893
    being manually maintained.
4894
 
4895
 
4896
Minor changes:
4897
  * MakeAnt directive
4898
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
4899
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
4900
    supports ANT builds.
4901
 
4902
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4903
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
4904
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
4905
 
4906
  * Label utility
4907
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
4908
    files to be labeled.
4909
 
4910
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
4911
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
4912
    on Solaris.
4913
 
4914
  * Generated makefiles
4915
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
4916
    nothing.
4917
 
4918
  * MOS Toolset
4919
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
4920
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
4921
    modules.
4922
 
4923
  * Utility: gen_cots
4924
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
4925
    and then check it in under clearcase.
4926
 
4927
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
4928
 
4929
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
4930
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
4931
 
4932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4933
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
4934
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4935
Major changes:
4936
  None
4937
 
4938
Minor changes:
4939
  * DEVI addressed
4940
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
4941
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
4942
 
4943
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
4944
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
4945
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
4946
 
4947
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
4948
 
4949
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
4950
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
4951
 
4952
  * RunTest directive
4953
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
4954
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
4955
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
4956
 
4957
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
4958
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
4959
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
4960
    packaged under JATS
4961
 
4962
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
4963
          supported within JATS.
4964
 
4965
  * Jats utility wrapper
4966
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
4967
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
4968
 
4969
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
4970
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
4971
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
4972
 
4973
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
4974
    Eg: jats ant
4975
 
4976
  * Jats utility wrapper
4977
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
4978
 
4979
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
4980
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
4981
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
4982
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
4983
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
4984
 
4985
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
4986
    expect a build.pl file.
4987
 
4988
  * Jats utility wrapper
4989
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
4990
 
4991
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
4992
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
4993
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
4994
 
4995
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
4996
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
4997
 
4998
  * Build files
4999
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5000
    ERG extensions.
5001
 
5002
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5003
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5004
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5005
Major changes:
5006
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5007
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5008
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5009
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5010
 
5011
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5012
 
5013
Minor changes:
5014
  * None
5015
 
5016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5017
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5018
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5019
Major changes:
5020
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5021
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5022
    ie:
5023
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5024
 
5025
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5026
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5027
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5028
    environments are compatible.
5029
 
5030
 
5031
Minor changes:
5032
  * BuildName option
5033
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5034
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
5035
 
5036
  * jats.bat
5037
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5038
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5039
 
5040
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5041
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5042
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5043
Major changes:
5044
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5045
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5046
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5047
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5048
 
5049
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5050
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5051
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5052
 
5053
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5054
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5055
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5056
 
5057
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5058
    transferred.
5059
 
5060
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5061
    See notes below.
5062
 
5063
  * WIN32 toolset
5064
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5065
    correctly.
5066
 
5067
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5068
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5069
 
5070
  * BuildVersion
5071
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5072
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5073
    other langauges as needed.
5074
 
5075
 
5076
Minor changes:
5077
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
5078
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
5079
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
5080
    version strings.
5081
 
5082
  * GenerateFiles directive
5083
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
5084
    package or an imported package.
5085
 
5086
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
5087
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
5088
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
5089
 
5090
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
5091
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
5092
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
5093
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
5094
    makefiles and strange error messages.
5095
 
5096
Internal Changes
5097
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
5098
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
5099
    of utilities.
5100
 
5101
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
5102
    functions.
5103
 
5104
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5105
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
5106
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5107
Major changes:
5108
  * Generated makefiles
5109
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
5110
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
5111
    that sed did not process its arguments.
5112
 
5113
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
5114
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
5115
    incorrectly processing:
5116
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
5117
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
5118
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
5119
    confused.
5120
 
5121
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
5122
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
5123
    The construct
5124
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
5125
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
5126
    then it works.
5127
 
5128
  * MakeAnt directive
5129
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
5130
 
5131
    This option has the following effects
5132
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
5133
           can be used installed and manipulated.
5134
 
5135
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
5136
           early - in the generated files phase.
5137
 
5138
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
5139
    component needs to generate a header file early.
5140
 
5141
 
5142
Minor changes:
5143
  * JATS post-installation script
5144
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
5145
 
5146
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
5147
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
5148
    windows.
5149
 
5150
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
5151
    Handle all variants of BuildName
5152
 
5153
  * Jats wrapper script
5154
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
5155
        1) Contain spaces
5156
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
5157
 
5158
  * Toolset
5159
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
5160
 
5161
  * JAVA toolset
5162
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
5163
    directive:
5164
 
5165
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
5166
 
5167
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
5168
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
5169
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
5170
 
5171
  * GCC Toolset
5172
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
5173
 
5174
  * Makefile generation
5175
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
5176
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
5177
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
5178
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
5179
    package could not be used.
5180
 
5181
  * Unit Tests
5182
    The following environment variables are set:
5183
 
5184
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
5185
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'

5187
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
5188
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
5189
 
5190
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
5191
 
5192
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5193
 
5194

5196
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
5197
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5198
Major changes:
5199
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
5200
 
5201
    Special features of this toolset.
5202
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5203
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5204
       incorporated within the target image.
5205
 
5206
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5207
       --Set=Name=Value
5208
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5209
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5210
 
5211
       --Ref=name
5212
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5213
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5214
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5215
                will be taken from the build version number.
5216
 
5217
Minor changes:
5218
  * MOS Toolset
5219
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5220
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5221
    packaged.
5222
 
5223
  * Src directive
5224
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5225
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5226
    specifier.
5227
 
5228
  * WIN32 runtime support
5229
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5230
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5231
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5232
 
5233
Internal:
5234
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5235
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5236
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5237
 
5238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5239
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5240
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5241
Major changes:
5242
    * BuildAlias directive
5243
      Added options.
5244
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5245
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5246
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5247
                          targets.
5248
      Eg:
5249
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5250
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5251
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5252
 
5253
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5254
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5255
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5256
 
5257
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5258
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5259
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5260
 
5261
 
5262
Minor changes:
5263
  * Label utility
5264
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5265
    build.pl file
5266
 
5267
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5268
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5269
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5270
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5271
    --FilterIn option.
5272
 
5273
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5274
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5275
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5276
 
5277
  * Location of descpkg file
5278
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5279
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5280
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5281
 
5282
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5283
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5285
Major changes:
5286
  * RunTest directive
5287
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5288
    Additional options
5289
      --CopyIn=file
5290
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5291
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5292
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5293
        the test area.
5294
 
5295
    Additional operations
5296
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5297
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5298
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5299
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5300
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5301
    Allows flags:
5302
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5303
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5304
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5305
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5306
 
5307
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5308
    existence is tested.
5309
 
5310
  * Packaging Directives
5311
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5312
    such as LMOS.
5313
 
5314
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5315
 
5316
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5317
 
5318
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5319
 
5320
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5321
 
5322
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5323
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5324
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5325
 
5326
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5327
 
5328
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5329
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5330
 
5331
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5332
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5333
 
5334
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5335
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5336
 
5337
Minor changes:
5338
  * Script directive
5339
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5340
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5341
 
5342
  * JATS environment
5343
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5344
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5345
    the JATS wrapper script.
5346
 
5347
  * Label utility
5348
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5349
    There are three modes of operation:
5350
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5351
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5352
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5353

5355
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5356
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5357
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5358
Major changes:
5359
 
5360
Minor changes:
5361
  * label utility
5362
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5363
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5364
 
5365
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5366
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5367
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5368
      --ProgLoader=name
5369
 
5370
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5371
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5372
    Options to do this are:
5373
        --TreeDir=name
5374
        --FilterOut=regexp
5375
        --FilterIn=regexp
5376
        --StripDir
5377
 
5378
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5379
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5380
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5381
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5382
 
5383
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5384
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5385
 
5386
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5387
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5388
 
5389
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5390
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5391
 
5392
 
5393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5394
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
5395
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5396
Major changes:
5397
    * Make commands
5398
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5399
 
5400
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5401
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5402
 
5403
    * Label utility
5404
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5405
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5406
 
5407
Minor changes:
5408
    * Toolsets
5409
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5410
      variables and overrides.
5411
 
5412
      The make_init target is always run.
5413
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5414
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5415
 
5416
    * Deployment
5417
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5418
      with deployment operations.
5419
 
5420
    * Release utility
5421
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5422
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5423
      restricted by options within the build.
5424
 
5425
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5426
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5427
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5428
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5429
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5430
 
5431
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5432
      directives.
5433
 
5434
    * MakeProject directive
5435
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5436
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5437
 
5438
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5439
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5440
      is preserved.
5441
 
5442
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5443
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5444
      statements.
5445
 
5446
    * Mugfile generation
5447
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5448
      be placed in the target package.
5449
 
5450
 
5451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5452
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5454
Major changes:
5455
    * BuildVersion directive
5456
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5457
      number as well as a patch number.
5458
 
5459
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5460
      number.
5461
 
5462
Minor changes:
5463
    * AddFlags directives
5464
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5465
      duplicate flags being added.
5466
 
5467
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5468
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5469
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5470
 
5471
    * Mug File Generation
5472
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5473
 
5474
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5475
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5476
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5477
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5478
     directory.
5479
 
5480
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5481
     reproducible.
5482
 
5483
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5484
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5485
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5486
Major changes:
5487
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5488
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5489
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5490
      longer a list of directories.
5491
 
5492
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5493
      done within the toolset.
5494
 
5495
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5496
 
5497
    * JATS environment variables
5498
      Redefined variable
5499
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5500
                          Previously was a list that included the
5501
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5502
 
5503
      New variable
5504
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5505
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5506
 
5507
 
5508
Minor changes:
5509
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5510
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5511
      target platforms to be extracted.
5512
 
5513
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5514
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5515
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5516
 
5517
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5518
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5519
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5520
 
5521
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5522
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5523
 
5524
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5525
      Support ANT based XML files
5526
 
5527
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5528
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5529
      structure.
5530
 
5531
    * makefile.pl's
5532
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5533
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5534
 
5535
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5536
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5537
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5538
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5539
 
5540
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5541
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5542
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5543
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5544
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5545
      -- Auto.
5546
 
5547
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5548
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5549
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5550
 
5551
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5552
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5553
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5554
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5555
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5556
 
5557
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5558
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5559
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5560
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5561
      installed on the machine.
5562
 
5563
    * WINCE Targets
5564
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5565
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5566
 
5567
 
5568

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5570
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5571
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5572
Major changes:
5573
    * WIN32 platforms
5574
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5575
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5576
      and installed packages.
5577
 
5578
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5579
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5580
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5581
 
5582
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5583
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5584
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5585
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5586
      searched when looking for libraries.
5587
 
5588
Minor changes:
5589
    * GenerateFiles directive
5590
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5591
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5592
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5593
                          and drive letter
5594
 
5595
    * Src directive
5596
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5597
      directory of a package.
5598
 
5599
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5600
 
5601
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5602
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5603
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5604
 
5605
    * jats_rewrite utility
5606
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5607

5611
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5612
Major changes:
5613
    * SunWorks production builds
5614
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5615
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5616
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5617
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5618
      compiler documentation.
5619
 
5620
    * MOS Toolset
5621
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5622
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5623
 
5624
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5625
 
5626
Minor changes:
5627
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5628
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5629
      This should not affect current users.
5630
 
5631
    * Mugfile generation
5632
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5633
      specified.
5634
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5635
 
5636

5637
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5638
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5639
Major changes:
5640
    MOS Toolset
5641
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5642
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5643
 
5644
Minor changes:
5645
    * Jats wrapper script
5646
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5647
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5648
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5649
 
5650
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5651
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5652
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5653
      may be suspect.
5654
 
5655
    * GenerateFiles directive
5656
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5657
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5658
 
5659
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5660
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5662
Major changes:
5663
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5664
      build.xml files.
5665
 
5666
Minor changes:
5667
    * WIN32 toolset.
5668
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5669
 
5670
    * MakeAnt
5671
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5672
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5673
 
5674
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5675
 
5676
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5677
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5678
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5679
 
5680
    * MakeAnt directive
5681
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5682
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5683
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5684
 
5685
      Recommended usage:
5686
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5687
 
5688
Internal Changes
5689
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5694
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5695
Major changes:
5696
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5697
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5698
      files packaged into the release.
5699
 
5700
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
5701

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5704
 
5705
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5706
      The recommended platform is:
5707
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5708
 
5709
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5710
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5711
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5712
      components.
5713
 
5714
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

5718
 
5719
Minor changes:
5720
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5721
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5722
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5723
      by the package to be accessed.
5724
 
5725
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5726
      application or visual studio.
5727
 
5728
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5729
      and the JATS Core path.
5730
 
5731
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5732
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5733
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5734
 
5735
    * MOS Toolset
5736
      Add support for the TPT device
5737
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5738
 
5739
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5740
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5741
 
5742
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5743
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5744
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5745
 
5746
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5747
 
5748
Internal Changes
5749
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5750
      in jats.pl
5751
 
5752
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5753
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5754
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5755
Major changes:
5756
    * JATS wrapper script
5757
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5758
 
5759
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5760
 
5761
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5762
 
5763
Minor changes:
5764
    * Deployment support
5765
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5766
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5767
 
5768
    * 'build'
5769
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5770
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5771
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5772
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5773
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5774
 
5775
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5776
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5777
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5778
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5779
                                      the link phase.
5780
 
5781
    * BuildPkgArchive
5782
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5783
      Previously these were ignored.
5784
      Minor code cleanup
5785
 
5786
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5787
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5788
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5789
 
5790
    * SOLARIS targets
5791
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5792
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5793
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5794
 
5795
    * MugFile generation
5796
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5797
      included in the final package.
5798
 
5799
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5800
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5801
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5802
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5803
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5804
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5805
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5806
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5807
 
5808
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5809
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5810
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5811
            --Option=(some_text)
5812
            --Option=[some_text]
5813
            --Option={some_text}
5814
 
5815
Internal Changes
5816
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5817
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5818
      code.
5819
 
5820

5821
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
5822
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5823
Major changes:
5824
    * JATS wrapper script
5825
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
5826
 
5827
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
5828
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
5829
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
5830
      other components.
5831
 
5832
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
5833
 
5834
    * JATS
5835
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
5836
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
5837
 
5838
    * Build operations
5839
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
5840
      if required packages are built against different versions of
5841
      packages.
5842
 
5843
    * Make operations
5844
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
5845
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
5846
 
5847
Minor changes:
5848
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
5849
      deployment builds.
5850
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
5851
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
5852
 
5853
      Extended the "jats vars" display
5854
 
5855
    * build.pl
5856
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
5857
        processed. Allows
5858
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
5859
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
5860
        production.
5861
 
5862
    * MOS toolset
5863
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
5864
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
5865
 
5866
    * create_dpkg utility
5867
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
5868
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
5869
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
5870
      progress of the build.
5871
 
5872
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
5873
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
5874
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
5875
      system.
5876

5879
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5880
Major changes:
5881
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5882
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
5883
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
5884
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
5885
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
5886
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
5887
 
5888
    * WCEX86A500 target
5889
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
5890
 
5891
    * MOS Toolsets
5892
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
5893
      the compiler.
5894
 
5895
    * RunTest directive
5896
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
5897
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
5898
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
5899
 
5900
Minor changes:
5901
    * JATS BUILD
5902
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
5903
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
5904
      highlight bad settings.
5905
 
5906
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
5907
      access to extensions.
5908
 
5909

5916
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
5917
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
5918
      under unix.
5919
 
5920
Minor changes:
5921
    * label utility
5922
      Added options to:
5923
        o Delete a label
5924
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
5925
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
5926
 
5927
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5928
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
5929
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
5930
      Package directives.
5931
 
5932
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
5933
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
5934
      system.
5935
 
5936
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5937
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
5938
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5939
Major changes:
5940
    * MOS Toolset
5941
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
5942
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
5943
 
5944
    * WIN32 Toolset
5945
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
5946
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
5947
      list.
5948
 
5949
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
5950
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
5951
 
5952
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
5953
 
5954
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
5955
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
5956
 
5957
 
5958
Minor changes:
5959
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
5960
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
5961
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
5962
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
5963
      corrected.
5964
 
5965
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
5966
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
5967
 
5968
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
5969
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
5970
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.

5976
    * WIN32 Toolset
5977
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
5978
      use with multithreaded modes.
5979
 
5980
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
5981
      --OnlyProd.
5982
 
5983
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
5984
      within the makefile.pl.
5985
 
5986
Minor changes:
5987
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
5988
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
5989
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
5990
      platforms.
5991
 
5992
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );

Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
5996
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5997
Major changes:
5998
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
5999
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6000
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6001
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6002
 
6003
    * Preliminary Support
6004
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6005
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6006
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6007
 
6008
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6009
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6010
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6011
 
6012
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6013
      building. The default build will build both.
6014
 
6015
Minor changes:
6016
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6017
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6018
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6019
 
6020
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6021
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6022
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6023
 
6024

Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6027
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6028
Major changes:
6029
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6030
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6031
      or all.
6032
 
6033
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6034
      the library or program.
6035
 
6036
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6037
 
6038
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6039
      library or any debug files.
6040
 
6041
    * GenerateFiles
6042
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6043
 
6044
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6045
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6046
 
6047
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6048
              The filename of the prereq file
6049
 
6050
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6051
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6052
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6053
 
6054
 
6055
Minor changes:
6056
    * create_dpkg utility
6057
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6058
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6059
      the package has been altered.

6064
Major changes:
6065
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6066
      This is a WINCE target
6067
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6068
 
6069
    * New toolset
6070
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6071
 
6072
    * Modified toolset
6073
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
6074
 
6075
    * Modified toolset
6076
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
6077
 
6078
Minor changes:
6079
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
6080
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
6081
 
6082
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
6083
 
6084
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
6085
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
6086
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
6087
 
6088
      The change allows the construct
6089
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
6090
      to be replaced by the simpler
6091
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
6092
 
6093
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
6094
      specified name.    
6095

6114
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6115
Major changes:
6116
    * The "package.pl" file.
6117
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
6118
      package name being taken from the build name
6119
 
6120
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
6121
      package Build Name.
6122
 
6123
Minor changes:
6124
    * create_dpkg utility
6125
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
6126
 
6127

6130
Major changes:
6131
 
6132
Minor changes:
6133
    * Dependancy generator
6134
      Correct two common situations
6135
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
6136
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
6137
           ansi, but is often done.
6138
 
6139
    * GCC toolset
6140
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
6141
      being created in the correct place.
6142
 
6143
    * jats "label"
6144
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
6145
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
6146
 
6147
 
6148
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6149
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6150
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6151
Major changes:
6152
 
6153
Minor changes:
6154
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
6155
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
6156
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
6157
 
6158
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
6159
      pkg directory will be transferred.
6160
 
6161
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
6162
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
6163
      package was not being transferred.
6164
 
6165
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6166
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
6167
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6168
Major changes:
6169
    * Support for solaris_i386
6170
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
6171
      binaries for this target.
6172
 
6173
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
6174
      with the GCC compiler.
6175
 
6176
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
6177
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
6178
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
6179
 
6180
Minor changes:
6181
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6182
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
6183
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6184
 
6185
    * cbuild ( release) utility
6186
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
6187
 
6188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6189
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
6190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6191
Major changes:
6192
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
6193
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
6194
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
6195
 
6196
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
6197
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
6198
 
6199
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
6200
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6201
      with either " or ' characters.
6202
 
6203
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6204
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6205
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6206
 
6207
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6208
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6209
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6210
 
6211
    * Jats wrapper
6212
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6213
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6214
      further commands.
6215
 
6216
Minor changes:
6217
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6218
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6219
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6220
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6221
 
6222
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6223
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6224
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6225
Major changes:
6226
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6227
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6228
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6229
 
6230
      These options operation affect all components within the
6231
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6232
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6233
 
6234
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6235
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6236
 
6237
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6240
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6241
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6242
Major changes:
6243
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6244
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6245
 
6246
Minor changes:
6247
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6248
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6249
 
6250
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6251
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6252
 
6253
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6254
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6256
Major changes:
6257
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6258
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6259
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6260
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6261
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6262
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6263
      installed.
6264
 
6265
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6266
      libraries that depend on each other.
6267
 
6268
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6269
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6270
 
6271
Minor changes:
6272
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6273
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6274
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6275
 
6276
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6277
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6278
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6279
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6280
 
6281
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6282
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6284
Major changes:
6285
 
6286
Minor changes:
6287
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6288
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6289
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6290
      file.
6291
 
6292
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6293
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6294
 
6295
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6296
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6297
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6298
 
6299
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6300
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6301
 
6302
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6303
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6304
 
6305
    * WinCE toolsets
6306
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6307
      compiler specific libraries.
6308
 
6309
    * SOLARIS toolset
6310
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6311
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6312
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6313
 
6314
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6315
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6316
      cleaned up.
6317
 
6318
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6319
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6320
 
6321
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6322
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6323
      with either " or ' characters.
6324

6328
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6329
Major changes:
6330
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6331
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6332
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6333
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6334
 
6335
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6336
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6337
 
6338
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6339
      user.
6340
 
6341
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6342
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6343
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6344
 
6345
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6346
      for the   -Gf option.
6347
 
6348
Minor changes:
6349
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6350
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6351
 
6352
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6353
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6354
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6355
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6356

    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6362
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6363
 
6364
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6365
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6366
      data addresses for the board.
6367
 
6368
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6369
 
6370
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6371
 
6372
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6373
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6374
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6375
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6376
         PackageFile
6377
 
6378
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6379
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6380
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6381
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6382
 
6383
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6384
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6385
      to be installed and packaged.
6386
 
6387
Minor changes:
6388
 
6389
    * cache_dpkg utility
6390
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6391
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6392
 
6393
    * label utility
6394
      New option -auto to create and label
6395
 
6396
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6397
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6398
 
6399
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6400
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6401
      directory. ie:
6402
 
6403
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6404
 
6405
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6406
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6407
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.

6411
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6412
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6413
Major changes:
6414
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6415
 
6416
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6417
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6418
 
6419
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6420
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6421
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6422
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6423
 
6424
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6425
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6426
      compilation.
6427
 
6428
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6429
 
6430
Minor changes:
6431
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6432
      one is being produced.
6433
 
6434
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6435
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6436
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6437
 
6438
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6439
 
6440
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6441
 
6442
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6443
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6444
 
6445
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6446
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6447
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6448
Major changes:
6449
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6450
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6451
 
6452
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6453
 
6454
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6455
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6456
      same directory
6457
 
6458
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6459
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6460
      documenattion.
6461
 
6462
Minor changes:
6463
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6464
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6465
 
6466
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6467
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6468
 
6469
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6470
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6471
 
6472
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6473
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6474
 
6475
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6476
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6477
      be exempt from this test.
6478
 
6479
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6480
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6481
 
6482
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6483
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6484
 
6485
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6486
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6487
      does.
6488
 
6489
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6490
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6491
 
6492
 
6493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6494
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6495
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6496
Major changes:
6497
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6498
 
6499
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6500
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6501
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6502
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6503
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6504
 
6505
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6506
      operations.
6507
 
6508
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6509
 
6510
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6511
 
6512
Minor changes
6513
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6514
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6515
 
6516
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6517
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6518
      directory is not added to the library path.
6519
 
6520
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6521
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6522
 
6523
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6524
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6525
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6526
 
6527
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6528
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6529
      specific flags.
6530
 
6531
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6532
 
6533
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6534
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6535
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6536
 
6537
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6538
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6539
      JATS.
6540
 
6541
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6542
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6543
 
6544
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6545
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6546
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6547
 
6548
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6549
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6550
 
6551
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6552
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6553
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6554
 
6555
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6556
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6557
 
6558
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6559
 
6560
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6561
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6562
 
6563
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6564
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6565
      objects.
6566
 
6567
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6568
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6569
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6570
      build defendants.
