418
        BuildProduct   ( PROD,--Alias=A1', 'PLATFORM1,--Alias=A2', 'PLATFORM1,--Alias=A3' );
419
      Will result in A1 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM1 and PROD_PLATFORM2
420
                     A2 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM1

Major changes:
437
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
438
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
439
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
440
 
441
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
442
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
443
      duplicates corrected.
444
 
445
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
446
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
447
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
448
 
449
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
450
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
451
      displayed at the end of the build process.

    * New build platform - UBUNTU12_INSTRUMENT
4728 dpurdie 622
      This build target is similar to UBUNTU12, except that it 
623
      generates instrumented code with gcov. The platform's unit tests 
624
      will create and maintain a set of lcov files.

641
 
4688 dpurdie 642
    * EnvVars
643
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
644
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
645
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
646
 
647
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
648
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
649
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled

652
    * Jats caching
653
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
654
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
680
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
681
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
682
 
683
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
684
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
685
 
686
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
687
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
688
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
689
 
690
    * Jats Internal: Database access

Minor changes:
978
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
979
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
980
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
981
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
982
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
983
 
984
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
985

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1012
Major changes:
1013
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1014
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1015
      intended to build deployed software.
1016
 
1017
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1018
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1019
 
1020
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1021
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1022
 
1023
Minor changes:
1024
    * Jats wrapper script
1025
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1026
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1027
      Subversion instance of the command.
1028
 
1029
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1030
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1031
 
1032
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1033

1040
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1041
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1042
 
1043
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1044
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1045
 
1046
    * GCC Toolchain
1047
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

Major changes:
1064
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1065
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1066
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1067
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1068
 
1069
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1070
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

    * Utility: jats sandbox
1082
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1083
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1084
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1085
      line.
1086
 
1087
    * Jats Configuration

      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1107
 
1108
    * Utility: svnsave_build

      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1111
 
1112
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1119
Major changes:
1120
 
1121
Minor changes:
1122
    * svnrelease utility
1123
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1124
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1125
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1126
 
1127
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1128
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1129
      the named tag.
1130
 
1131
    * svnrelease utility
1132
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1133
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
1144
        covered by the makefile.
1145
 
1146
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1147
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1148
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1149
 
1150
    * ALL Toolsets
1151
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1152
 
1153
    * Utility vcsdiff
1154
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1155
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1156
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

1163
Minor changes:
1164
    * Subversion Extraction
1165
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1166
      directory of the tag.
1167
 
1168
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1169
      repository.
1170
 
1171
    * Subversion Support
1172
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1173
      showing the user what to do.
1174
 
1175
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1176
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1177
      we have build support for this target.
1178
 
1179
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1180
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1181
 
1182
Internal:
1183
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1184
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1200
Major changes:
1201
 
1202
Minor changes:
1203
    * Makefile generation
1204
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1205
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1206
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1207
      of warnings.
1208
 
1209
    * Makefile Generation
1210
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
1211
 
1212
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
1213
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

2429 dpurdie 1218
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1219
Major changes:
1220
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1221
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1222
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1223
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1224
 
1225
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1226
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1227
      windows path scheme.
1228
 
1229
Minor changes:
1230
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1231
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1232
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1233
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1234
 
1235
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1236
        jats make clobber
1237
      This operates as before.
1238
 
1239
    * Utility: escrow
1240
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1241
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1242
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1243
 
1244
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1245
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1246
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1247
 
1248
    * Utility: svn : url
1249
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1250
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1251
 
1252
    * Utility: svn : import
1253
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1254
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1255
 
1256
    * Subversion Support
1257
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1258
      showing the user what to do.
1259
 
1260
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1261
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1262
      repositories.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1267
 
1268
Minor changes:
1269
    * Jats build
1270
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1271
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1272
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1273
 
1274
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1275
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 1276
 
1277
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages

1285
      Added two subcommands
1286
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1287
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1288
                 Can also display available branches.
1289
 
2054 dpurdie 1290
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
1291
      Added '-keepgoing' option to allow the user to ignore errors

1293
    * Utility: rtag_extract
1294
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
1295
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
1296
 
1297
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1298
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1299
      Modified two options:
1300
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1301
                        The named branch must not exist
1302
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1303
                        The named branch must exist
1304
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

1313
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
1314
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
1315
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

1338
 
1339
Major changes:
1340
    * Jats Version Number
1341
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
1342
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
1343
      significantly.
1344
 
1345

Major changes:
1356
    * Subversion support
1357
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
1358
      SubVersion. Changes include:
1359
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
1360
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1361
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1362
 
1363
Minor changes:
1364
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1365
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1366
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1367
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1368
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1369
 
1370
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1371
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1372
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1373
 
1374
    * Linux support utilities
1375
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
1376
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
1377

1382
Major changes:
1383
    * Subversion Repository location
1384
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1385
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1386
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1387
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
1388
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1389
 
1390
Minor changes:
1391
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1392
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1393
 
1394
    * Utility: svnrelease
1395
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1396
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1397
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1398
 
1399
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1400
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1401
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1402
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1403
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1404
 
1405
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1406
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1407
 
1408
    * Utility: sandbox
1409
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
1410
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1411
 
1412
      Subcommand: populate
1413
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1414
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1415
      sandbox.
1416
 
1417
    * Subversion Support
1418
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1419
      repository is not supported.
1420
 
1421
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1422
      a progress indication.
1423
 
1424
    * Jats Online Documentation
1425
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1426
      online documentation.
1427
 
1428
    * Generated makefiles
1429
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

1505
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1506
Major changes:
1507
 
1508
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1509
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1510
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1511
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1512
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1513
 
1514
    * C# Toolchain
1515

1528
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1529
 
1530
    * Utility ccrelease
1531
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1532
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1533
 
1534
    * Utility: svn
1535
      Improved package import processing.
1536
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

1563
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1564
Major changes:
1565
 
1566
Minor changes:
1567
    * Command: jats clobber
1568
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1569
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1570
 
1571
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1572
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1573
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1574
 
1575
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1576
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1577
 
377 dpurdie 1578
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1579
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1580
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1581
 
1582
    * jats svnlabel
1583
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1584
 
1585
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1586
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1587
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1588
 
1589
    * Built Daemon support
1590
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1591
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1592

373 dpurdie 1594
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
1595
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1596
Major changes:
1597
    * GCC Toolset
1598
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1599
      New methodology is:
1600
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1601
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1602
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1603
        as the main binary.
1604
 
1605
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1606
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1607
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1608
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1609
      both worlds.
1610
 
1611
Minor changes:
1612
    * HTML Documentation
1613
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1614

1622
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1623
Major changes:
1624
    * Jats Sandbox
1625
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1626
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1627
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1628
 
1629
    * RIORDS Platform
1630
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

1650
 
1651
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1652

1653
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1654
 
1655
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1656
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1657
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1658
      a vob.
1659
 
1660

1741
Minor changes:
1742
    * HTML Help
1743
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1744
 
1745
    * jats build -noforce
1746
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1747
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1748
      be forced.
1749
 
1750
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1751
 
1752
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1753
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1754
 
1755
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1756
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1757
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1758
 
1759
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1760
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1761
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1762
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1763
 
1764
    * Utility: svnrelease
1765
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1766
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1767
 
1768
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1769
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1770
 
1771
    * Utility: svn
1772
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1773
      installed and can be used.
1774
 
1775
    * Toolset: CSharp
1776
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1777
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1778
      character.
1779
 
1780
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1781
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1782
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1783
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1784
      masking an error.
1785
 
1786
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1787
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1788
      enhancement.

1790
    * Toolset: dafbr
1791
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing

1794
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1795
        - Return correct path to package
1796
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1797
 
1798
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1799
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1800
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1801
 
1802
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1803
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1804
      packages.
1805
 
1806
    * make command: show
1807
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1808
      'jats make show' command.
1809
 
1810
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1811
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1812
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1813
 
1814
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1815
      executed on Unix machines.

1852
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
1853
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
1854
 
1855
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
1856
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
1857
      developers.

1879
      in a package archive.
1880
 
1881
      Sub command: create
1882
      New option '-exact'. This will create a sandbox in which the package
1883
      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
1884
      package version.
1885
 
1886
      Command specific help
1887

2176
    * Jats label command
2177
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2178
      Not recommended for general use.
2179

      directories within the current view.
2181
 
2182
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2183
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2184
      elsewhere.
2185
 
2186
    * Jats save_build
2187
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2188
      the determination of a branch.
2189
 
2190
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2191
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2192
 
2193
    * Jats build
2194
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2195
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2196
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2197
 
2198
    * Borland6 toolset
2199
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2200

        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2202
 
2203
    * Jats build
2204
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2205
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2206
      This is a very quick operation.
2207
 
2208
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2209
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2210
 
2211
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2212
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2213
      files are only recreated if need be.
2214
 
2215
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2216
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2217
      make the package.
2218
 
2219
    * Jats sandbox
2220
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2221
 
2222
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2223
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2224
 
2225
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2226
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2227
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2228
      is performed.
2229
 
2230

2270
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2271
 
2272

      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2301
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2302
 
2303
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2304
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.

            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2308
 
2309
      Examples:
2310
            jats upddep -show
2311
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2312
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2313
 
2314
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2315
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2316
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2317
 
2318
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2319
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2320
 
2321
Minor changes:
2322
 
2323
Internal changes:
2324
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
2325
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 2328
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
2329
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2330
Major changes:
2331
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2332
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2333
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2334
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2335
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2336
      stream.
2337
 
2338
      Example:
2339
 
2340
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2341
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2342
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2343
                     );
2344
Minor changes:
2345
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2346
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2347
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2348
      directive.
2349
 
2350
    * GCC Toolkit
2351
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2352
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2353
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2354
      the point of termination.
2355
 
2356
    * Jats save_build utility
2357
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2358
      under windows.
2359
 
2360
    * Jats sandbox
2361
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2362
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2363
      in different sandboxes.
2364
 
2365
    * Jats release
2366
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2367

Version:  2.83.1000.cr                               Released: 04-Feb-10
2370
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2371
Major changes:
2372
 
2373
Minor changes:
2374
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2375
      Added -locatedir=name
2376
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2377
      directory.
2378
 
2379
    * jats label utility
2380
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2381
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2382
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2383
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2384
 
2385
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2386
 
2387

317 dpurdie 2388
Version:  2.83.0000.cr                               Released: 20-Jan-10
315 dpurdie 2389
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2390
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 2391
 
2392
Minor changes:
2393
    * WinCe Toolsets
2394
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2395
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2396
        noExceptions            - Disable
2397
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2398
      Example:
2399
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2400
 
2401
    * Solaris targets
2402
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2403
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2404
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2405
      machine type.
2406
 
2407
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2408
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
2409
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2410
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2411
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2412
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2413
      project files.
2414
 
2415
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2416
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2417
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2418
 
2419
Minor changes:
2420
    * Added more internal documentation
2421
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2422
 
2423
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2424
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2425
 
2426
    * Jats save_build utility
2427
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2428
      under windows.
2429
 
2430
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2431
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2432
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2433
      libraries.
2434
 
2435
    * Solaris builds
2436
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2437
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2438
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2439
      of the build failure.
2440
 
2441
 
2442
Internal changes:
2443
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2444
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2445
 
2446
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2447
      PkgArchive topics.

313 dpurdie 2450
Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
2451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2452
Major changes:
2453
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2454
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2455
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2456
      existing 32-bit builds.
2457
 
2458
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
2459
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
2460
 
2461
Minor changes:
2462
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
2463
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2464
 
2465
    * Package searching
2466
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2467
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2468
 
2469
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2470
 
2471
    * jats help
2472
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2473
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2474
 
2475
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2476
      with one of:
2477
        jats -h
2478
        jats help jats
2479
 
2480
Internal:
2481
    * cmdfile utility
2482
      Added macros:
2483
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2484
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2485
 
2486
      Corrected
2487
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
2488
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
2489
 
2490
      Extended
2491
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2492
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2493
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2494
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

2499
Major changes:
2500
 
2501
Minor changes:
2502
 
2503
Internal changes
2504
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2505
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2506
      Useful side effects include:
2507
 
2508
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2509
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2510
 
2511
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2512
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2513
 
2514
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2515
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2516
        BuildPkgArchive
2517
 
313 dpurdie 2518
    * Perl Modules
2519
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2520
      release. This will:
2521
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2522
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2523
          reported by ERG.
2524
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Major changes:
2530
 
2531
Minor changes:
2532
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2533
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2534
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2535
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2536
 
2537
    * Jats label utility
2538
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2539
 
2540
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2541
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2542
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2543
 
2544
    * Jats core
2545
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2546
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2547
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 2555
    * CSHARP toolset
2556
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2557
      This is now fixed.
2558
 
309 dpurdie 2559
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2560
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2561
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2562
 
2563
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2564
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
2565
 
2566

2571
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 2572
    * Generating makefiles
2573
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2574
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2575
      an error.
2576
 
2577
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2578
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2579
 
2580
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2581
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 2582
      Refer the JATS Manual.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2587
Major changes:
2588
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2589
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2590
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2591
 
2592
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2593
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2594
 
2595
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2596
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2597
      Support includes
2598
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2599
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2600
 
2601
Minor changes:
2602
    * Build file processing
2603
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2604
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2605
 
2606
    * MOS builds
2607
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2608
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2609
 
2610
    * MOS builds
2611
      New 'known' product: PICP
2612
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2613
 
2614
    * GenerateFiles directive
2615
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2616
        under windows.
2617
 
2618
        .
2619
 
2620
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2621
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2622
 
2623
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2624
      to the output stream.
2625
 
2626
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2627
 
2628
    * Windows Shell
2629
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2630
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2631
 
2632
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2633
 
2634
    * H8S toolset
2635
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2636
 
2637
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2638
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2639
 
2640
Internal changes
2641
    * WinCe builds
2642
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2643
      content of the file.
2644
 
2645
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2646
 
2647
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2648
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2660
Major changes:
2661
 
2662
Minor changes:
2663
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2664
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2665
      Changes are transparent to users.
2666
 
2667
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2668
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2669
      this occurs.
2670
 
2671
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2672
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2673
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2674
      automated build framework.
2675
 
2676
    * jats sandbox command
2677
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2678

2752
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2753
Major changes:
2754
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2755
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2756
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2757
 
2758
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2759
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2760
 
2761
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2762
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2763
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2764
           names cannot be changed.
2765
 
2766
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2767
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2768
 
2769
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2770
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2771
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2772
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2773
 
2774
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2775
      file.
2776
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2777
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2778
      MyPackage.dpk.
2779
 
2780
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2781
      file.
2782
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2783
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2784
      MyDll.dpr.
2785
 
2786
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2787
      file.
2788
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2789
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2790
      MyProg.dpr.
2791
 
2792
Minor changes:
2793
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2794
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2795
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2796
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2797
 
2798
    * BuildVersion directive
2799
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2800
      in a Delphi Unit.
2801
 
2802
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2803
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2804
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2805
      'know' the location of the files.
2806
 
2807
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2808
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2809
 
2810
Internal Changes:
2811
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2812
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2813
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2814
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2815
 
2816
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2817
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2818
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

2822
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2823
Major changes:
2824
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2825
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2826
      information for purely C++ builds.
2827
 
289 dpurdie 2828
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2829
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2830
 
289 dpurdie 2831
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2832
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2833
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2834
 
2835
Minor changes:
2836
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2837
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2838
 
2839
    * updatenodespec utility
2840
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2841

    * New command: jats make show
2879
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2880
      used in the build.
2881
 
2882
    * Escrow command
2883
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2884
 
2885
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2886
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2887
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2888
 
2889
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2890
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2891

277 dpurdie 2894
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2895
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2896
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2897
 
279 dpurdie 2898
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2899
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2900
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2901
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2902
 
2903
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2904
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2905
 
2906
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2907
 
2908
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2909
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2910
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2911
 
2912
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2913
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2914
        processed.
2915
 
2916
      Removed the '-delete' option
2917
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2918
 
277 dpurdie 2919
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2920
    * Sandbox command
2921
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2922
 
2923
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2924
      target from consideration in the build set.
2925
 
2926
    * MCR Toolset
2927
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2928
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2929
 
2930
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2931
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2932
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2933
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2934
 
2935
    * Jats run_test command
2936
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2937
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2938
 
2939
    * descpkg file
2940
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2941
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2942
 
2943
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2944
     Now contains build trace information
2945
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2946
 
2947
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2948
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2949
     it contains 'jar' files.
2950
 
2951
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2952
 
2953
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2954
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2955
 
2956
   * BuildVersion directive
2957
     Form:
2958
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2959
     now works as expected.
2960
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2961
 
2962
Internal Changes:
2963
 
2964
    * Error reporting mechanism
2965
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2966
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2967
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
2977
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
2978
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
2979
    then starts.
2980
 
2981
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2982
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2983
 
2984
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2985
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2986
    non-platform option.
2987
 
279 dpurdie 2988
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

3001
    * Jats Utility: dstatus
3002
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
3003
 
3004
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
3005
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
3006
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
3007
 
3008
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
3009
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
3010
 
3011
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
3012
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
3013
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
3014
        GBE_MAKE_CMD                - Current make target
3015
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
3016
 
3017
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
3018
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
3019
      to the invoked application.
3020
 
3021
Internal Changes:
3022
    * JatsCopy Package

3028
      build target.
3029
 
3030
    * Jmake - Jats Makefile Supervisor
3031

3053
        Wildcard correctly supports the [0-9] construct
3054
 
3055
Internal Changes:
3056
    * Environment

3127
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3128
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3129
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

3152
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3153
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3154
 
3155
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

3246
 
3247
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
3248
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
3249
      programs.
3250
 
3251
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
3252

3321
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3322
      Previously was being done at two places
3323
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3324
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3325
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.

3386
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3387
 
3388
Minor changes:
3389
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3390
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

3400
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3401
 
3402
      New platforms:
3403
        CSHARP2005
3404
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3405
         Support extends to allow:
3406
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3407
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3408
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3409
 
3410
        VS2005
3411
         Support extends to allow:
3412
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3413
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3414
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3415
 
3416
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3417
      through a version selector:
3418
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3419
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3420
 
3421
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3422
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3423
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3424
 
3425
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3426
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3427
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3428
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3429
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3430
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3431
          under VS2005.
3432
 
3433
Minor changes:
3434
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
3439
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3440
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3441
 
3442
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3443
 
3444
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3445
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3446
 
3447
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3448
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3449
      a minimal value of perl.
3450
 
3451
      Removed excessive require statements.
3452

3454
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3455
      Include JATS specific files for
3456
        1) Windows
3457
        2) Linux
3458
 
3459
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3460
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3461
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3462
      machines.
3463
 
3464
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3465
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC

3467
    * JATS Environment
3468
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3469
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3470
 
3471
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3472
      wrapper scripts.
3473
 
3474
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3475
      Correct problem with location of build files.

3527
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
3528
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3529
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3530
  * New toolset and platform
3531
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3532
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3533
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3534
    this platform.
3535
 
3536
Minor changes:
3537
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3538
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3539
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3540
    work.
3541
 
3542
  * Jats utility: release
3543
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3544
    published to dpkg_archive.
3545
 
249 dpurdie 3546
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3547
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3548
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3549
    supported for ANT builds.
3550
 
3551
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3552
        releasemanager.releasename
3553
        releasemanager.projectname
3554
 
3555
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3556
    tagged data item of the form
3557
 
3558
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3559
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3560
 
3561
  * Mug File Generation
3562
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3563
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3564
 
3565
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3566
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3567
    required.
3568
 
3569
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3570
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3571
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3572
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3573
    the files in order to use them.
3574
 
3575
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3576
    locate the file.
3577
 
3578
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3579
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3580
 
3581
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3582
        * CSharp
3583
        * Properties
3584
        * WinRC
3585
 
3586
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3587
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3588
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3589
    Value is correctly assigned.

3593
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3594
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3595
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3596
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3597
 
3598
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3599
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3600
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3601
 
3602
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3603
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3604
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3605
 
3606
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3607
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3608
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3609
 
3610
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3611
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3612
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3613
    correct.
3614
 
3615
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3616
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3617
 
3618
Minor changes:
3619
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3620
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3621
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3622
 
3623
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3624
    This will simplify new user setup.
3625
 
3626
  * All Unix Toolsets
3627
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3628
    on unix systems
3629
 
3630
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3631
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3632
    on some Solaris Machines.
3633
 
3634
  * JATS -version=<version>
3635
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3636
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3637

3686
  * JATS makefiles
3687
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3688
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3689
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3690
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or

    * Jats Release Mechanism
3854
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3855
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3856
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3857
 
3858
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3859
 
3860
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3861
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3862
 
3863
    * Running Jats
3864
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3865
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3866
      This may affect some windows developers.
3867
 
3868
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3869
      Future versions will generate an error.
3870
 
3871
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3872
 
3873
Minor changes:
3874
    * Perl Version Check
3875
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3876
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3877
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3878
 
3879
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3880
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3881
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3882
      build.
3883
 
3884
    * Jats Internals
3885
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3886
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3887
 
3888
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3889
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3890
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3891
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3892
      process.
3893
 
3894
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3895
      Only works under Windows.
3896
 
3897
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3898
 
3899
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3900
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3901
 
3902
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3903
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3904
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3905
 
3906
    * Jats eprog
3907
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3908
      directory.
3909
 
3910
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3911
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3912
      build metrics.
3913

3917
Major changes:
3918
 
3919
Minor changes:
3920
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3921
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3922
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3923
      automated build system. New options are:
3924
        -pname=Package_Name
3925
        -pversion=Package_Version
3926
 
3927
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3928
      transferring the package. New options are:
3929
        -test
3930
 
3931
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3932
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3933
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3934
 
3935
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3936
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3937
 
3938
    * Solaris Toolset
3939
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3940
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3941
      programs are still supported.

Major changes:
3947
 
3948
Minor changes:
3949
    * WINCE toolsets
3950
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3951
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3952
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3953
      when header files cannot be found.
3954
 
3955
    * GenerateFiles directive
3956
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3957
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3958
      that are difficult to solve.
3959
 
3960
    * MakePerlModule directive
3961
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3962
      to the the module builder.
3963
 
3964
    * Jats Tool: label
3965
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3966
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3967
      -dirs=xxx options.
3968
 
3969
    * Jats Tool: release
3970
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3971
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3972
 
3973
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3974
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3975
 
3976
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3977
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3978
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3979
 
3980
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
3987
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3988
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3989
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3990
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3991
 
3992
Minor changes:
3993
    * label utility
3994
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3995
 
3996
    * make package and install operations
3997
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3998
      transfer.
3999
 
4000
    * make clean up
4001
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4002
 
4003
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4004
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4005
      minor file transformations such as:
4006
        Copy, with optional rename
4007
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4008
        Perform simple TAG replacement
4009
 
4010
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
4011
 
4012
    * jats release utility
4013
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4014
      in place.
4015
 
4016
    * escrow utility
4017
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
4018
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
4026
    * Makefile generation
4027
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4028
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4029
      generate phase early.

4034
Major changes:
4035
 
4036
Minor changes:
4037
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4038
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4039
 
4040
    * Makefile generation
4041
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4042
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4043
 
4044
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4045
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4046
 
4047
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4048
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4049
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4050
 
4051
    * jats_rewrite utility
4052
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4053
 
4054
    * jats escrow utility
4055
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4056
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4057
 
4058
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4059
      inconsistent packages.
4060
 
4061
    * jats make help
4062
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4063
      available within the current build.
4064
 
4065
    * jats makefiles
4066
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4067
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4068
 
4069
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4070
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4071
 
4072
    * gcc toolset
4073
      SharedLibries.
4074
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4075
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4076
 
4077
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4078
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4079
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4080
 
4081
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4082
        New options:
4083
            --MultiScan
4084
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4085
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4086
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4092
Major changes:
4093
 
4094
Minor changes:
4095
    PackageLib directive
4096
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4097
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4098
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4099
 
4100
    MakefileGenerate directive
4101
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4102
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4103
 
4104
    Multiple Parent detection
4105
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4106
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4107
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4108
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4109
 
4110
    Solaris Toolset
4111
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4112
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4113
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4114
    link.
4115
 
4116
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4117
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4118
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4119
 
4120
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4121
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4122
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4123
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4128
Major changes:
4129
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4130
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4131
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4132
 
4133
    Summary of changes:
4134
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4135
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4136
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4137
          flexibility.
4138
 
4139
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4140
 
4141
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4142
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4143
          interface directory and associated build information.
4144
 
4145
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4146
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4147
          than one second.
4148
 
4149
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4150
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4151
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4152
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4153
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4154
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4155
 
4156
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4157
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4158
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4159
 
4160
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4161
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4162
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4163
          building them.
4164
 
4165
        - Detection of build file changes
4166
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4167
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4168
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4169
 
4170
        - Quieter make output
4171
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4172
 
4173
 
4174
Minor changes:
4175
    MakeAnt Directive
4176
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4177
 
4178
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4179
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4180
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4181
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4182
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4183
 
4184
    CSHARP toolset
4185
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4186

Minor changes:
4193
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4194
    are generated.
4195
 
4196
    MakeAnt
4197
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4198
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4199
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4200
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4201
 
4202
    MCR platform
4203
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

4211
Minor changes:
4212
    MakeAnt directive extended
4213
    New option: --PackageBase
4214
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4215
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4216
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4217
 
4218
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4219
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4220
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4221
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4241
 
4242
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4243
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4244
 
4245
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4246
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4247
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.

    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4251
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4252
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

Minor changes:
4280
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4281
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4282
 
4283
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4284
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4285
      last.
4286
 
4287
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4288
 
4289
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4290
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4291
 
4292
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4293
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4294
 
4295
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4296
 
4297
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4298
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4299
 
4300
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4301
 
4302
 
4303
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4304
           with the --System option
4305
 
4306
    * LMOS target platform
4307
      Includes LINUX_ETX

4312
Major changes:
4313
 
4314
Minor changes:
4315
    * Solaris Toolset
4316
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
4317
      dependent packages.
4318
 
4319
    * RunTest operation
4320
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4321
 
4322
    * Csharp toolkit
4323
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
4324

4326
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
4327
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4328
Major changes:
4329
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4330
 
4331
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4332
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4333
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4334
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4335
      path.
4336
 
4337
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4338
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4339
      reproducible.
4340
 
4341
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4342
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4343
 
4344
      There are several aspects to the change
4345
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4346
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4347
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4348
 
4349
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4350
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4351
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4352
          controlled separately.
4353
 
4354
Minor changes:
4355
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4356
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4357
        Remove duplicates
4358
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4359

4361
Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
4362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4363
Major changes:
4364
 
4365
Minor changes:
4366
    * Makefile sanity test
4367
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4368
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4369
 
4370
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4371
      x86 machine.
4372
 
4373
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4374
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4375
 
4376
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4377
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4378
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4379
Major changes:
4380
    * RunTest directive
4381
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4382
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4383
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4384
 
4385
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4386
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4387
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4388
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4389
 
4390
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4391
        builder within the current toolset.
4392
 
4393
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4394
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4395
 
4396
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4397
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4398
      containing the RunTest directive.
4399
 
4400
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4401
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4402
 
4403
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4404
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4405
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4406
 
4407
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4408
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4409
                            P or D suffix.
4410
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4411
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4412
 
4413
Minor changes:
4414
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4415
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4416
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4417
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4418
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4419
 
4420
    * Save Build Utility
4421
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4422
      used in a ripple build.
4423
 
4424
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4425
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4426
 
4427
    * Release Utility
4428
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4429
      when an error is encountered.
4430
 
4431
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4432
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4433
 
4434
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4435
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4436
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4437
 
4438
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4439
      before the makefiles are created.
4440
 
4441
    * TestProg directive
4442
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4443
 
4444
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4445
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4446

4450
Major changes:
4451
    * New build target
4452
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4453
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4454
 
4455
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4456
            DEVLINUX
4457
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4458
 
4459
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4460
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4461
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4462
 
4463
Minor changes:
4464
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4465
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4466
 
4467
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4468
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4469
 
4470
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4471
      and .cs files.
4472
 
4473
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4474
      thing.
4475
 
4476
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4477
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4478
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4479
      were it places temp files.
4480
 
4481
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4482
      interaction with other builds.
4483
 
4484
    * Release utility command
4485
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4486
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4487
      component in the clearcase tag name.

4504
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4505
 
4506
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

4548
  * Deployment
4549
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4550
 
4551
  * build.pl
4552
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4553
 
4554
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4555
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4556
 
4557
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4558
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4559
    build.
4560
 
4561
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4562
 
4563
  * Tool: escrow
4564
     New features
4565
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4566
     are not in the SBOM.
4567
 
4568
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4569

4575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4576
Major changes:
4577
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4578
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4579
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4580
 
4581
  * GenerateFiles
4582
    Added the options:
4583
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4584
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4585
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4586
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4587
 
4588
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4589
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4590
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4591
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4592
                                  required.
4593
 
4594
 
4595
Minor changes:
4596
  * GenerateFile directive
4597
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4598
 
4599
  * GCC Toolset
4600
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4601
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4602
    be rebuilt.
4603
 
4604
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4605
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4606
 
4607
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4608
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4609
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4610
Major changes:
4611
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4612
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4613
    environment variables.
4614
 
4615
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4616
            moved.
4617
 
4618
    This will affect users that:
4619
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4620
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4621
 
4622
        2) Use the ABT system
4623
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4624
           the required configuration
4625
 
4626
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4627
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4628
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4629

4641
  * New build platforms
4642
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4643
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4644
 
4645
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4646
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4647
 
4648
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4649
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4650
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4651
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4652
 
4653
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4654
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4655
    release.
4656
 
4657
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4658
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4659
 
4660
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4661
    need to be converted.
4662
 
4663
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4664
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4665
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4666
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4667
    used for different targets platforms.
4668
 
4669
  * Sandbox support
4670
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4671
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4672
 
4673
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4674
 
4675
Minor changes:
4676
 
4677
 
4678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4679
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4681
Major changes:
4682
  * MakeAnt directive
4683
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4684
 
4685
    New options
4686
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4687
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4688
 
4689
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4690
    run_unit_tests phase.
4691
 
4692
  * Sandbox support
4693
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4694
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4695
 
4696
Minor changes:
4697
  * jats build
4698
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4699
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4700
 
4701
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4702
 
4703
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4704
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4705
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4706
 
4707
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4708
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4709
 
4710
  * JATS.BAT
4711
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4712
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4713
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4714
 
4715
  * jats label
4716
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4717
 
4718
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4719
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4720
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4721
Major changes:
4722
  * New build platform:
4723
        LMOS_TP5600
4724
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4725
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4726
 
4727
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4728
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4729
    describe the group of platforms.
4730
 
4731
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4732
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4733
    build these targets.
4734
 
4735
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4736
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4737
 
4738
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4739
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4740
 
4741
  * New build platform: WINCE
4742
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4743
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4744
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4745
 
4746
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4747
            WCEIT3000
4748
            WCEPA961
4749
            WCEPA962
4750
            WCEPCM7220
4751
            WCEPSION_420
4752
            WCEPSPC_arm
4753
            WCEPSPC_emu
4754
            WCEX86A420
4755
            WCEX86A500
4756
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4757
 
4758
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4759
 
4760
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4761
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4762
    that contain packaging directives.
4763
 
4764
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4765
    very unusual configurations.
4766
 
4767
Minor changes:
4768
  * Directive: PackageFile
4769
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4770
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4771
    an '='.
4772
 
4773
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4774
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4775
 
4776
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4777
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4778
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4779
 
4780
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4781
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4782
 
4783
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4784
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4785
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4786
Major changes:
4787
 
4788
  * JATS release command
4789
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4790
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4791
 
4792
    Rules are:
4793
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4794
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4795
                            File will be placed on a branch
4796
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4797
                            New directory will branch
4798
 
4799
Minor changes:
4800
  * JATS release command
4801
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4802
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4803
 
4804
  * JATS label command
4805
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4806
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4807
 
4808
  * JATS make
4809
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4810
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4811
    was re-packaged.
4812
 
4813
  * JATS escrow
4814
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4815
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4816
 
4817
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4818
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4819
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4820
 
4821
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4822
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4823
    interface directory.
4824
 
4825
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4826
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4827
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4828
    directory as seen by the package.
4829
 
4830
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4831
 
4832
  * JAVA 6
4833
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4834
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4835
 
4836
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4837
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4838
 
4839
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4840
 
4841
  * Jats command: vars
4842
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4843
    These indicate potential problems.
4844
 
4845
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4846
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4847
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4848
Major changes:
4849
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4850
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4851
    libarry is also created.
4852
 
4853
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4854
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4855
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4856
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4857
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4858
    information contained within the file.
4859
 
4860
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4861
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4862
 
4863
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4864
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4865
 
4866
  * Building Perl Modules
4867
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4868
    documentation on the build machine.
4869
 
4870
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4871
 
4872
Minor changes:
4873
  * jats create_dpkg
4874
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4875
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4876
 
4877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4878
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4879
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4880
Major changes:
4881
  * JATS JAVA build target
4882
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4883
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4884
 
4885
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4886
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4887
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4888
    is then picked up as the default version.
4889
 
4890
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4891
    build.pl file.
4892
 
4893
Minor changes:
4894
  * jats release
4895
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4896
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4897
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4898
 
4899
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4900
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4901
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4902
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4903
    the name of the view.
4904
 
4905
  * GenerateFiles directive
4906
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4907
 
4908
  * MOS Toolset
4909
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4910
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4911
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4912
 
4913
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4914
 
4915
 
4916
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4917
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4918
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4919
Major changes:
4920
 
4921
Minor changes:
4922
  * JATS environment
4923
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4924
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4925
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4926
 
4927
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4928
 
4929
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4930
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4931
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4932
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4933
    to be packaged.
4934
 
4935
  * Generated makefiles
4936
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4937
 
4938
  * Generating MOS THX files
4939
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4940
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4941
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4942
 
4943
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4944
 
4945
  * JATS release
4946
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4947
 
4948
  * JATS extract
4949
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4950
 
4951
  * JATS Toolset
4952
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4953
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4954
 
4955
 
4956
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4957
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4958
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4959
Major changes:
4960
 
4961
Minor changes:
4962
  * jats label
4963
    Added a -vob=name option
4964
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4965
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4966
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4967
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4968
 
4969
    Added a -user=name option
4970
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4971
    label to the named user.
4972
 
4973
  * jats release
4974
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4975
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4976
 
4977
  * JATS build.pl
4978
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4979
    ie:
4980
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4981

4983
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4984
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4986
Major changes:
4987
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4988
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4989
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4990
    the makefile internals. ie:
4991
        --Var(BuildName)
4992
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4993
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4994
 
4995
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4996
 
4997
  * GenerateFiles
4998
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4999
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5000
 
5001
  * BuildPlatforms
5002
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5003
 
5004
Minor changes:
5005
  * GCC Toolset
5006
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5007
 
5008
Internal changes:
5009
  * GenerateFiles
5010
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5011
 
5012
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5013
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5014
 
5015
 
5016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5017
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5018
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5019
Major changes:
5020
  * Caching JATS
5021
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5022
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5023
 
5024
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5025
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5026
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5027
 
5028
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5029
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5030
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5031
 
5032
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5033
 
5034
Minor changes:
5035
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5036
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5037
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5038
 
5039
  * jats build
5040
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5041
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5042
    processed by the build.
5043
 
5044
  * jats build
5045
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5046
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5047
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5048
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5049
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5050
 
5051
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5052
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5053
    Path is not specified.
5054
 
5055
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5056
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5057
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5058
        --Dir=$Pinc
5059
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5060
 
5061
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5062
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5063
    Windows platform.
5064
 
5065
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5066
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5067
            by 'purecov.
5068
 
5069
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5070
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5071
 
5072
        - OPTIONS=purify
5073
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5074
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5075
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.

5080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5081
Major changes:
5082
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5083
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5084
    Example:
5085
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5086
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5087
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5088
 
5089
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5090
    been determined.
5091
 
5092
Minor changes:
5093
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5094
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5095
    located at build-time.
5096
 
5097
  * Unix based systems
5098
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5099
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5100
 
5101
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5102
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5103
    driver being built.
5104

5121
    dependancy information within a package.
5122
 
5123
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5124
    messages.

5133
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5134
 
5135
    GenerateFiles.
5136
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5137
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5138
                      be run on every invocation.
5139
 
5140
 
5141

5144
 
5145
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
5146
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5147
  There are two mechanism:
5148
 
5149
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5150
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5151
 
5152
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5153
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5154
 
5155
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5156
  default.
5157
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5158
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

5164
  * SunWorks Toolset
5165
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5166
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5167
    It is based on machine type.
5168
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5169
 
5170
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5171
 
5172
Minor changes:
5173

5182
Major changes:
5183
  * GCC Toolset
5184
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
5185
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
5186
    Removed the use of `uname`.
5187
 
5188
  * Added platforms
5189
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )

    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5191
    TP5600_EMU
5192
 
5193
Minor changes:

    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
5196
    field separator.
5197
 
5198
  * JATS eprog command
5199
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5200
 
5201
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5202
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5203
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5204
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5205
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5206
 
5207
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5208
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5209
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5210
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5211
 
5212
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5213
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

5223
 
5224
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
5225
 
5226
 
5227
Minor changes:
5228
  * JATS wrapper script
5229
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5230
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5231
    to setup links to system programs.
5232

5252
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5253
    Added CompileOptions
5254
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5255
        no_misalign         - Default
5256
 
5257
        multithread         - Default
5258
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
5259
 
5260
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5261

        debug_debuginfo
5272
 
5273
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5274
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5275
    Theses are:
5276
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5277
        SOLARIS_AMD
5278
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5279
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5280
 
5281
Minor changes:
5282
  * AT3232 toolset
5283
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
5284
 
5285
  * Jats build

Minor changes:
5295
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5296
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5297
    messages
5298
 
5299
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5300
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5301
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5302
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5303

5307
Major changes:
5308
 
5309
Minor changes:
5310
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5311
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5312
    library without creating the body of the library:
5313
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5314
 
5315
 
5316
  * MOS toolsets
5317
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5318
    library without creating the body of the library:
5319
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5320
 
5321
  * JATS BIN directories
5322
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5323
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5324
    using autoconf.
5325
 
5326
  * Generate directive
5327
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5328
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5329
 
5330
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.

5345
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5346
Major changes:
5347
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5348
    Initial release.
5349
 
5350
  * Packaging directives
5351
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5352
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5353
 
5354
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5355
        SOLARIS
5356
        WIN32
5357
 
5358
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5359
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5360
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5361
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5362
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5363
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5364
 
5365
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5366
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5367
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5368
 
5369
 
5370
Minor changes:
5371
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5372
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5373
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5374
 
5375
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5376
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5377
    location
5378
 
5379
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5380
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5381
 
5382
  * Utility genrc
5383
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5384
 
5385
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5386
    Added option: -new
5387
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5388
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5389
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5390
 
5391
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5392
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5393
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5394
 
5395
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5396
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5397
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5398
 
5399
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5400
   features - in a uniform manner.
5401
 
5402
 
5403
Internal Changes:
5404
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5405
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5406
 
5407
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5408
        1) Platform information available at build time
5409
        2) Dynamic platform names
5410
 
5411
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5412
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5413
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5414
 
5415
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5416
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5417
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5418
 
5419
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5420
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5421
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5422
    needed.
5423
 
5424
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5425
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5426
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5427
    files from all of these.

Major changes:
5442
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5443
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5444
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5445
 
5446
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5447
 
5448
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5449
    the operations.
5450
 
5451
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5452
 
5453
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5454
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5455
 
5456
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5457
 
5458
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5459
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5460
 
5461
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5462
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5463
    Extended the built-in help
5464
    Added useful error messages
5465
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5466
 
5467
  * WinCE toolset
5468
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5469
 
5470
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5471
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5472
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5473
 
5474
Minor changes:
5475
  * JATS wrapper script
5476
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5477
    the command line.
5478
 
5479
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5480
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5481
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5482
 
5483
Internal Changes:
5484
  * Common Error Reporting
5485
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5486
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5487
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5488
    level.
5489
 
5490
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5491
    displayed.
5492
 
5493
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5494
 
5495
  * Added JatsSystem module
5496
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5497
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5498
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5500
Major changes:
5501
 
5502
Minor changes:
5503
  * BR Compiler toolset
5504
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5505
    .def files to include other files.
5506
 
5507
  * IAR toolset
5508
    Added AT7272 support
5509
 
5510
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5511
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5512
 
5513
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5514
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
5515
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5516
Major changes:
5517
 
5518
Minor changes:
5519
  * BR Compiler toolset
5520
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5521
    use.
5522
 
5523
 
5524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5525
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5527
Major changes:
5528
 
5529
Minor changes:
5530
  * Mictotec toolset
5531
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5532
    builds.
5533
 
5534
  * JATS Core
5535
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5536
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5537
    behaviour.
5538
 
5539
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5540
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5541
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5542
Major changes:
5543
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5544
    Deployment package will be affected.
5545
 
5546
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5547
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5548
 
5549
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5550
 
5551
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5552
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5553
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5554
    packages.
5555
 
5556
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5557
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5558
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5559
 
5560
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5561
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5562
 
5563
Minor changes:
5564
  * SubDir directive
5565
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5566
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5567
 
5568
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5569
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5570
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5571
    of the file usage.
5572
 
5573
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5574
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5575
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5576
 
5577
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5578
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5579
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5580
 
5581
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5582
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5583
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5584
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5585
 
5586
 
5587
Internal Changes:
5588
  * Code refactor
5589
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5590
 
5591
  * Deployment utilities
5592
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5593
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5594
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5595
    the module can locate the file.
5596
 
5597
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5598
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5599
 
5600
  * JATS core
5601
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5602
 
5603
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5604
 
5605
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5606
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5607
    through the use of environment variables.
5608
 
5609
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5610
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5611
 
5612
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5613
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5614
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5615
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5616
 
5617
  * Make environment
5618
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5619
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5620
 
5621
 
5622
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5623
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5625
Major changes:
5626
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5627
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5628
 
5629
 
5630
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5631
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5633
 
5634
Not Released.
5635
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5636
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5637
 
5638
 
5639
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5640
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5641
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5642
Major changes:
5643
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5644
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5645
    radically replaced.
5646
 
5647
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5648
    Usage:
5649
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5650
 
5651
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5652
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5653
    this solution:
5654
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5655
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5656
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5657
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5658
 
5659
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5660
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5661
    order to work.
5662
 
5663
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5664
    reduced functionality.
5665
 
5666
 
5667
Minor changes:
5668
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5669
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5670
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5671
 
5672
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5673
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5674
    within the makefiles.
5675
        Options:
5676
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5677
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5678
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5679
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5680
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5681
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5682
        Useage:
5683
 
5684
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5685
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5686
 
5687
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5688
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5689
    is not in the current directory.
5690
 
5691
  * Jats Command: ant'
5692
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5693
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5694
 
5695
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5696
 
5697
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5698
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5699
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5700
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5701
 
5702
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5703
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5704
    Thus
5705
 
5706
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5707
 
5708
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5709
 
5710
 
5711
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5712
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5713
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5714
Major changes:
5715
 
5716
Minor changes:
5717
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5718
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5719
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5720
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5721
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5722
 
5723
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5724
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5725
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5726
 
5727
Internal changes:
5728
  * JATS toolsets
5729
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5730
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5731
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5732
 
5733
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5734
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5735
 
5736
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5737
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5738
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5739
Major changes:
5740
  * Jats command: etool
5741
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5742
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5743
 
5744
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5745
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5746
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5747
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5748
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5749
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5750
 
5751
Minor changes:
5752
 
5753
 
5754
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5755
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5756
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5757
Major changes:
5758
  * JATS environment variables
5759
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5760
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5761
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5762
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5763
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5764
 
5765
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5766
              Remote repository
5767
 
5768
    Added GBE_DPLY
5769
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5770
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5771
 
5772
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5773
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5774
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5775
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5776
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5777
 
5778
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5779
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5780
 
5781
 
5782
Minor changes:
5783
  * JATS utility: build
5784
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5785
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5786
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5787
 
5788
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5789
    Ensure label is not locked
5790
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5791
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5792
 
5793
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5794
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5795
    to a specific type of build.
5796
 
5797
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5798
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5799
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5800
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5801
 
5802
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5803
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5804
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5805
 
5806
  * JATS utility: release
5807
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5808
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5809
 
5810
  * JATS utility: label
5811
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5812
    when it is being created.
5813
 
5814
Internal Changes
5815
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5816
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5817
 
5818
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5819
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5820
 
5821
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5822
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5823
    different results.
5824
 
5825
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5826
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5827
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5828
 
5829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5830
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5832
Major changes:
5833
 
5834
  * MCR toolset
5835
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5836
 
5837
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5838
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5839
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5840
Major changes:
5841
  * WIN32 utilities
5842
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5843
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5844
 
5845
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5846
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5847
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5848
 
5849
Minor changes:
5850
  * BuildVersion
5851
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5852
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5853
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5854
 
5855
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5856
 
5857
  * Unix Builds
5858
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5859
    library or a shared library.
5860
 
5861
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5862
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5863
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5864
    start with 'lib'.
5865
 
5866
  * BuildPkgArchive
5867
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5868
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5869
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.

5872
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5873
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5874
Major changes:
5875
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5876
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5877
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5878
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5879
    being manually maintained.
5880
 
5881
 
5882
Minor changes:
5883
  * MakeAnt directive
5884
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5885
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5886
    supports ANT builds.
5887
 
5888
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5889
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5890
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5891
 
5892
  * Label utility
5893
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5894
    files to be labeled.
5895
 
5896
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5897
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5898
    on Solaris.
5899
 
5900
  * Generated makefiles
5901
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5902
    nothing.
5903
 
5904
  * MOS Toolset
5905
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5906
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5907
    modules.
5908
 
5909
  * Utility: gen_cots
5910
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5911
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5912
 
5913
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5914
 
5915
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5916
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5917
 
5918
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5919
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5920
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5921
Major changes:
5922
  None
5923
 
5924
Minor changes:
5925
  * DEVI addressed
5926
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 5927
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 5928
 
5929
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5930
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5931
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5932
 
5933
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5934
 
5935
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5936
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5937
 
5938
  * RunTest directive
5939
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5940
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5941
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5942
 
5943
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5944
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5945
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5946
    packaged under JATS
5947
 
5948
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5949
          supported within JATS.
5950
 
5951
  * Jats utility wrapper
5952
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5953
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5954
 
5955
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5956
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5957
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5958
 
5959
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5960
    Eg: jats ant
5961
 
5962
  * Jats utility wrapper
5963
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5964
 
5710 dpurdie 5965
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 5966
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5967
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5968
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5969
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5970
 
5710 dpurdie 5971
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 5972
    expect a build.pl file.
5973
 
5974
  * Jats utility wrapper
5975
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5976
 
5977
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5978
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5979
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5980
 
5981
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5982
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5983
 
5984
  * Build files
5985
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 5986
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 5987

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5989
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5990
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5991
Major changes:
5992
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5993
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5994
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5995
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5996
 
5997
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5998
 
5999
Minor changes:
6000
  * None
6001
 
6002
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6003
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6004
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6005
Major changes:
6006
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6007
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6008
    ie:
6009
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6010
 
6011
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6012
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6013
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6014
    environments are compatible.
6015
 
6016
 
6017
Minor changes:
6018
  * BuildName option
6019
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6020
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6021
 
6022
  * jats.bat
6023
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6024
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6025
 
6026
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6027
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6029
Major changes:
6030
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6031
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6032
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6033
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6034
 
6035
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6036
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6037
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6038
 
6039
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6040
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6041
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6042
 
6043
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6044
    transferred.
6045
 
6046
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6047
    See notes below.
6048
 
6049
  * WIN32 toolset
6050
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6051
    correctly.
6052
 
6053
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6054
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6055
 
6056
  * BuildVersion
6057
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6058
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6059
    other langauges as needed.
6060
 
6061
 
6062
Minor changes:
6063
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6064
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6065
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6066
    version strings.
6067
 
6068
  * GenerateFiles directive
6069
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6070
    package or an imported package.
6071
 
6072
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6073
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6074
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6075
 
6076
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6077
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6078
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6079
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6080
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6081
 
6082
Internal Changes
6083
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6084
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6085
    of utilities.
6086
 
6087
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6088
    functions.
6089
 
6090
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6091
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6092
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6093
Major changes:
6094
  * Generated makefiles
6095
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6096
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6097
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6098
 
6099
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6100
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6101
    incorrectly processing:
6102
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6103
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6104
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6105
    confused.
6106
 
6107
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6108
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6109
    The construct
6110
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6111
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6112
    then it works.
6113
 
6114
  * MakeAnt directive
6115
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6116
 
6117
    This option has the following effects
6118
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6119
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6120
 
6121
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6122
           early - in the generated files phase.
6123
 
6124
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6125
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6126
 
6127
 
6128
Minor changes:
6129
  * JATS post-installation script
6130
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6131
 
6132
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6133
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6134
    windows.
6135
 
6136
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6137
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6138
 
6139
  * Jats wrapper script
6140
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6141
        1) Contain spaces
6142
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6143
 
6144
  * Toolset
6145
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6146
 
6147
  * JAVA toolset
6148
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6149
    directive:
6150
 
6151
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6152
 
6153
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6154
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6155
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6156
 
6157
  * GCC Toolset
6158
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6159
 
6160
  * Makefile generation
6161
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6162
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6163
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6164
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6165
    package could not be used.
6166
 
6167
  * Unit Tests
6168
    The following environment variables are set:
6169
 
6170
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6171
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6172
 
6173
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6174
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6175
 
6176
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6177
 
6178
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6179
 
6180
 
6181
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6182
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6184
Major changes:
6185
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6186
 
6187
    Special features of this toolset.
6188
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6189
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6190
       incorporated within the target image.
6191
 
6192
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6193
       --Set=Name=Value
6194
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6195
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6196
 
6197
       --Ref=name
6198
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6199
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6200
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6201
                will be taken from the build version number.
6202
 
6203
Minor changes:
6204
  * MOS Toolset
6205
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6206
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6207
    packaged.
6208
 
6209
  * Src directive
6210
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6211
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6212
    specifier.
6213
 
6214
  * WIN32 runtime support
6215
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6216
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6217
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6218
 
6219
Internal:
6220
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6221
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6222
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6223
 
6224
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6225
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6226
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6227
Major changes:
6228
    * BuildAlias directive
6229
      Added options.
6230
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6231
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6232
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6233
                          targets.
6234
      Eg:
6235
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6236
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6237
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6238
 
6239
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6240
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6241
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6242
 
6243
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6244
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6245
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6246
 
6247
 
6248
Minor changes:
6249
  * Label utility
6250
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6251
    build.pl file
6252
 
6253
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6254
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6255
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6256
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6257
    --FilterIn option.
6258
 
6259
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6260
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6261
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6262
 
6263
  * Location of descpkg file
6264
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6265
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6266
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6267
 
6268

6269
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6270
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6271
Major changes:
6272
  * RunTest directive
6273
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6274
    Additional options
6275
      --CopyIn=file
6276
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6277
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6278
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6279
        the test area.
6280
 
6281
    Additional operations
6282
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6283
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6284
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6285
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6286
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6287
    Allows flags:
6288
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6289
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6290
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6291
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6292
 
6293
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6294
    existence is tested.
6295
 
6296
  * Packaging Directives
6297
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6298
    such as LMOS.
6299
 
6300
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6301
 
6302
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6303
 
6304
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6305
 
6306
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6307
 
6308
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6309
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6310
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6311
 
6312
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6313
 
6314
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6315
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6316
 
6317
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6318
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6319
 
6320
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6321
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6322
 
6323
Minor changes:
6324
  * Script directive
6325
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6326
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6327
 
6328
  * JATS environment
6329
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6330
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6331
    the JATS wrapper script.
6332
 
6333
  * Label utility
6334
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6335
    There are three modes of operation:
6336
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6337
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6338
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6339

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6342
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6344
Major changes:
6345
 
6346
Minor changes:
6347
  * label utility
6348
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6349
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6350
 
6351
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6352
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6353
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6354
      --ProgLoader=name
6355
 
6356
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6357
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6358
    Options to do this are:
6359
        --TreeDir=name
6360
        --FilterOut=regexp
6361
        --FilterIn=regexp
6362
        --StripDir
6363
 
6364
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6365
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6366
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6367
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6368
 
6369
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6370
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6371
 
6372
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6373
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6374
 
6375
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6376
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6377
 
6378
 
6379
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6380
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6381
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6382
Major changes:
6383
    * Make commands
6384
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6385
 
6386
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6387
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6388
 
6389
    * Label utility
6390
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6391
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6392
 
6393
Minor changes:
6394
    * Toolsets
6395
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6396
      variables and overrides.
6397
 
6398
      The make_init target is always run.
6399
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6400
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6401
 
6402
    * Deployment
6403
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6404
      with deployment operations.
6405
 
6406
    * Release utility
6407
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6408
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6409
      restricted by options within the build.
6410
 
6411
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6412
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6413
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6414
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6415
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6416
 
6417
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6418
      directives.
6419
 
6420
    * MakeProject directive
6421
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6422
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6423
 
6424
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6425
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6426
      is preserved.
6427
 
6428
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6429
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6430
      statements.
6431
 
6432
    * Mugfile generation
6433
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6434
      be placed in the target package.
6435
 
6436
 
6437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6438
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6439
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6440
Major changes:
6441
    * BuildVersion directive
6442
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6443
      number as well as a patch number.
6444
 
6445
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6446
      number.
6447
 
6448
Minor changes:
6449
    * AddFlags directives
6450
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6451
      duplicate flags being added.
6452
 
6453
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6454
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6455
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6456
 
6457
    * Mug File Generation
6458
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6459
 
6460
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6461
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6462
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6463
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6464
     directory.
6465
 
6466
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6467
     reproducible.
6468

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6470
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6471
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6472
Major changes:
6473
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6474
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6475
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6476
      longer a list of directories.
6477
 
6478
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6479
      done within the toolset.
6480
 
6481
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6482
 
6483
    * JATS environment variables
6484
      Redefined variable
6485
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6486
                          Previously was a list that included the
6487
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6488
 
6489
      New variable
6490
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6491
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6492
 
6493
 
6494
Minor changes:
6495
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6496
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6497
      target platforms to be extracted.
6498
 
6499
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6500
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6501
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6502
 
6503
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6504
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6505
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6506
 
6507
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6508
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6509
 
6510
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6511
      Support ANT based XML files
6512
 
6513
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6514
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6515
      structure.
6516
 
6517
    * makefile.pl's
6518
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6519
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6520
 
6521
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6522
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6523
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6524
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6525
 
6526
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6527
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6528
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6529
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6530
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6531
      -- Auto.
6532
 
6533
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6534
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6535
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6536
 
6537
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6538
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6539
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6540
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6541
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6542
 
6543
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6544
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6545
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6546
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6547
      installed on the machine.
6548
 
6549
    * WINCE Targets
6550
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6551
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6552
 
6553
 
6554

6556
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6558
Major changes:
6559
    * WIN32 platforms
6560
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6561
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6562
      and installed packages.
6563
 
6564
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6565
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6566
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6567
 
6568
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6569
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6570
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6571
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6572
      searched when looking for libraries.
6573
 
6574
Minor changes:
6575
    * GenerateFiles directive
6576
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6577
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6578
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6579
                          and drive letter
6580
 
6581
    * Src directive
6582
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6583
      directory of a package.
6584
 
6585
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6586
 
6587
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6588
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6589
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6590
 
6591
    * jats_rewrite utility
6592
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6593
 
6594
 
6595
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6596
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6597
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6598
Major changes:
6599
    * SunWorks production builds
6600
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6601
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6602
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6603
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6604
      compiler documentation.
6605
 
6606
    * MOS Toolset
6607
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6608
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6609
 
6610
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6611
 
6612
Minor changes:
6613
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6614
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6615
      This should not affect current users.
6616
 
6617
    * Mugfile generation
6618
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6619
      specified.
6620
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6621

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6625
Major changes:
6626
    MOS Toolset
6627
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6628
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6629
 
6630
Minor changes:
6631
    * Jats wrapper script
6632
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6633
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6634
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6635
 
6636
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6637
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6638
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6639
      may be suspect.
6640
 
6641
    * GenerateFiles directive
6642
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6643
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6644
 
6645
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6646
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6647
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6648
Major changes:
6649
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6650
      build.xml files.
6651
 
6652
Minor changes:
6653
    * WIN32 toolset.
6654
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6655
 
6656
    * MakeAnt
6657
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6658
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6659
 
6660
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6661
 
6662
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6663
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6664
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6665
 
6666
    * MakeAnt directive
6667
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6668
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6669
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6670
 
6671
      Recommended usage:
6672
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6673
 
6674
Internal Changes
6675
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6681
Major changes:
6682
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6683
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6684
      files packaged into the release.
6685
 
6686
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6690
 
6691
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6692
      The recommended platform is:
6693
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6694
 
6695
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6696
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6697
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6698
      components.

6704
 
6705
Minor changes:
6706
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6707
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6708
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6709
      by the package to be accessed.
6710
 
6711
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6712
      application or visual studio.
6713
 
6714
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6715
      and the JATS Core path.
6716
 
6717
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6718
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6719
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6720
 
6721
    * MOS Toolset
6722
      Add support for the TPT device
6723
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6724
 
6725
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6726
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6727
 
6728
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6729
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6730
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6731
 
6732
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6733
 
6734
Internal Changes
6735
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6736
      in jats.pl
6737
 
6738
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6739
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6741
Major changes:
6742
    * JATS wrapper script
6743
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6744
 
6745
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6746
 
6747
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6748
 
6749
Minor changes:
6750
    * Deployment support
6751
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6752
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6753
 
6754
    * 'build'
6755
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6756
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6757
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6758
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6759
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6760
 
6761
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6762
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6763
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6764
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6765
                                      the link phase.
6766
 
6767
    * BuildPkgArchive
6768
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6769
      Previously these were ignored.
6770
      Minor code cleanup
6771
 
6772
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6773
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6774
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6775
 
6776
    * SOLARIS targets
6777
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6778
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6779
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6780
 
6781
    * MugFile generation
6782
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6783
      included in the final package.
6784
 
6785
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6786
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6787
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6788
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6789
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6790
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6791
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6792
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6793
 
6794
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6795
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6796
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6797
            --Option=(some_text)
6798
            --Option=[some_text]
6799
            --Option={some_text}
6800
 
6801
Internal Changes
6802
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6803
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6804
      code.
6805
 
6806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6807
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6808
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6809
Major changes:
6810
    * JATS wrapper script
6811
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6812
 
6813
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6814
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6815
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6816
      other components.
6817
 
6818
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6819
 
6820
    * JATS
6821
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6822
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6823
 
6824
    * Build operations
6825
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6826
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6827
      packages.
6828
 
6829
    * Make operations
6830
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6831
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6832
 
6833
Minor changes:
6834
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6835
      deployment builds.
6836
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6837
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6838
 
6839
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6840
 
6841
    * build.pl
6842
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6843
        processed. Allows
6844
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6845
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6846
        production.
6847
 
6848
    * MOS toolset
6849
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6850
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6851
 
6852
    * create_dpkg utility
6853
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6854
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6855
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6856
      progress of the build.
6857
 
6858
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6859
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6860
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6861
      system.
6862
 
6863
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6864
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6865
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6866
Major changes:
6867
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6868
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6869
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6870
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6871
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6872
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6873
 
6874
    * WCEX86A500 target
6875
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6876
 
6877
    * MOS Toolsets
6878
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6879
      the compiler.
6880
 
6881
    * RunTest directive
6882
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6883
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6884
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6885
 
6886
Minor changes:
6887
    * JATS BUILD
6888
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6889
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6890
      highlight bad settings.
6891
 
6892
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6893
      access to extensions.
6894
 
6895
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6896
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6897
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6898
Major changes:
6899
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6900
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6901
 
6902
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6903
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6904
      under unix.
6905
 
6906
Minor changes:
6907
    * label utility
6908
      Added options to:
6909
        o Delete a label
6910
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6911
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6912
 
6913
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6914
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6915
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6916
      Package directives.
6917
 
6918
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6919
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6920
      system.
6921
 
6922
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6923
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6924
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6925
Major changes:
6926
    * MOS Toolset
6927
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6928
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6929
 
6930
    * WIN32 Toolset
6931
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6932
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6933
      list.
6934
 
6935
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6936
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6937
 
6938
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6939
 
6940
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6941
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6942
 
6943
 
6944
Minor changes:
6945
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6946
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6947
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6948
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6949
      corrected.
6950
 
6951
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6952
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6953
 
6954
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6955
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6956
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6957
 
6958
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6959
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6960
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6961
Major changes:
6962
    * WIN32 Toolset
6963
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6964
      use with multithreaded modes.
6965
 
6966
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6967
      --OnlyProd.
6968
 
6969
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6970
      within the makefile.pl.
6971
 
6972
Minor changes:
6973
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6974
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6975
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6976
      platforms.
6977
 
6978
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6979
 
6980
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6981
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6982
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6983
Major changes:
6984
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6985
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6986
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6987
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6988
 
6989
    * Preliminary Support
6990
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6991
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6992
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6993
 
6994
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6995
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6996
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6997
 
6998
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6999
      building. The default build will build both.
7000
 
7001
Minor changes:
7002
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7003
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7004
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7005
 
7006
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7007
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7008
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7009
 
7010
 
7011
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7012
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7013
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7014
Major changes:
7015
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7016
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7017
      or all.
7018
 
7019
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7020
      the library or program.
7021
 
7022
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7023
 
7024
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7025
      library or any debug files.
7026
 
7027
    * GenerateFiles
7028
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7029
 
7030
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7031
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7032
 
7033
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7034
              The filename of the prereq file
7035
 
7036
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7037
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7038
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7039
 
7040
 
7041
Minor changes:
7042
    * create_dpkg utility
7043
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7044
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7045
      the package has been altered.
7046

      This is a WINCE target
7053
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7054
 
7055
    * New toolset
7056
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7057

Minor changes:
7065
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7066
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7067
 
7068
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7069
 
7070
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7071
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7072
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7073
 
7074
      The change allows the construct
7075
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7076
      to be replaced by the simpler
7077
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7078
 
7079
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7080
      specified name.

7100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7101
Major changes:
7102
    * The "package.pl" file.
7103
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7104
      package name being taken from the build name
7105
 
7106
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7107
      package Build Name.
7108
 
7109
Minor changes:
7110
    * create_dpkg utility
7111
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7112

7116
Major changes:
7117
 
7118
Minor changes:
7119
    * Dependancy generator
7120
      Correct two common situations
7121
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7122
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7123
           ansi, but is often done.
7124
 
7125
    * GCC toolset
7126
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7127
      being created in the correct place.
7128
 
7129
    * jats "label"
7130
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7131
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7132
 
7133
 
7134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7135
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7136
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7137
Major changes:
7138
 
7139
Minor changes:
7140
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7141
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7142
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7143
 
7144
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7145
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7146
 
7147
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7148
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7149
      package was not being transferred.
7150
 
7151
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7152
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7153
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7154
Major changes:
7155
    * Support for solaris_i386
7156
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7157
      binaries for this target.
7158
 
7159
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7160
      with the GCC compiler.
7161
 
7162
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7163
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7164
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7165
 
7166
Minor changes:
7167
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7168
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7169
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7170
 
7171
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7172
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7173
 
7174
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7175
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7176
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7177
Major changes:
7178
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7179
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7180
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7181
 
7182
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7183
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7184
 
7185
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7186
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7187
      with either " or ' characters.
7188
 
7189
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7190
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7191
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7192
 
7193
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7194
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7195
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7196
 
7197
    * Jats wrapper
7198
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7199
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7200
      further commands.
7201
 
7202
Minor changes:
7203
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7204
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7205
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7206
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7207
 
7208
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7209
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7210
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7211
Major changes:
7212
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7213
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7214
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7215
 
7216
      These options operation affect all components within the
7217
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7218
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7219
 
7220
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7221
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7222
 
7223
Minor changes:
7224
 
7225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7226
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7228
Major changes:
7229
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7230
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7231
 
7232
Minor changes:
7233
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7234
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7235
 
7236
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7237
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7238
 
7239
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7240
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7241
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7242
Major changes:
7243
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7244
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7245
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7246
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7247
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7248
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7249
      installed.
7250
 
7251
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7252
      libraries that depend on each other.
7253
 
7254
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7255
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7256
 
7257
Minor changes:
7258
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7259
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7260
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7261
 
7262
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7263
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7264
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7265
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7266
 
7267
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7268
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7270
Major changes:
7271
 
7272
Minor changes:
7273
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7274
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7275
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7276
      file.
7277
 
7278
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7279
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7280
 
7281
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7282
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7283
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7284
 
7285
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7286
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7287
 
7288
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7289
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7290
 
7291
    * WinCE toolsets
7292
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7293
      compiler specific libraries.
7294
 
7295
    * SOLARIS toolset
7296
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7297
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7298
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7299
 
7300
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7301
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7302
      cleaned up.
7303
 
7304
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7305
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7306
 
7307
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7308
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7309
      with either " or ' characters.
7310
 
7311

7313
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7315
Major changes:
7316
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7317
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7318
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7319
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7320
 
7321
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7322
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7323
 
7324
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7325
      user.
7326
 
7327
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7328
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7329
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7330
 
7331
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7332
      for the   -Gf option.
7333
 
7334
Minor changes:
7335
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7336
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7337
 
7338
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7339
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7340
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7341
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7342
 
7343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7344
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7345
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7346
Major changes:
7347
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7348
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7349
 
7350
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7351
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7352
      data addresses for the board.
7353
 
7354
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7355
 
7356
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7357
 
7358
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7359
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7360
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7361
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7362
         PackageFile
7363
 
7364
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7365
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7366
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7367
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7368
 
7369
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7370
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7371
      to be installed and packaged.
7372
 
7373
Minor changes:
7374
 
7375
    * cache_dpkg utility
7376
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7377
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7378
 
7379
    * label utility
7380
      New option -auto to create and label
7381
 
7382
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7383
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7384
 
7385
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7386
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7387
      directory. ie:
7388
 
7389
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7390
 
7391
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7392
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7393
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7394
 
7395
 
7396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7397
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7398
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7399
Major changes:
7400
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7401
 
7402
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7403
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7404
 
7405
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7406
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7407
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7408
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7409
 
7410
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7411
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7412
      compilation.
7413
 
7414
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7415
 
7416
Minor changes:
7417
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7418
      one is being produced.
7419
 
7420
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7421
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7422
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7423
 
7424
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7425
 
7426
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7427
 
7428
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7429
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7430
 
7431
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7432
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7433
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7434
Major changes:
7435
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7436
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7437
 
7438
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7439
 
7440
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7441
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7442
      same directory
7443
 
7444
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7445
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7446
      documenattion.
7447
 
7448
Minor changes:
7449
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7450
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7451
 
7452
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7453
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7454
 
7455
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7456
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7457
 
7458
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7459
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7460
 
7461
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7462
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7463
      be exempt from this test.
7464
 
7465
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7466
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7467
 
7468
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7469
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7470
 
7471
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7472
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7473
      does.
7474
 
7475
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7476
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.

Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7482
Major changes:
7483
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7484
 
7485
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7486
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7487
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7488
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7489
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7490
 
7491
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7492
      operations.
7493
 
7494
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7495
 
7496
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7497
 
7498
Minor changes
7499
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7500
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7501
 
7502
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7503
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7504
      directory is not added to the library path.
7505
 
7506
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7507
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7508
 
7509
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7510
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7511
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7512
 
7513
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7514
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7515
      specific flags.
7516
 
7517
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7518
 
7519
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7520
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7521
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7522
 
7523
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7524
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7525
      JATS.
7526
 
7527
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7528
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7529
 
7530
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7531
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7532
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7533
 
7534
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7535
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7536
 
7537
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7538
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7539
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7540
 
7541
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7542
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7543
 
7544
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7545
 
7546
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7547
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7548
 
7549
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7550
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7551
      objects.
7552
 
7553
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7554
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7555
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7556
      build defendants.
