422
      Will result in A1 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM1 and PROD_PLATFORM2
423
                     A2 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM1

Major changes:
440
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
441
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
442
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
443
 
444
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
445
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
446
      duplicates corrected.
447
 
448
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
449
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
450
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
451
 
452
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
453
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
454
      displayed at the end of the build process.

    * New build platform - UBUNTU12_INSTRUMENT
4728 dpurdie 625
      This build target is similar to UBUNTU12, except that it 
626
      generates instrumented code with gcov. The platform's unit tests 
627
      will create and maintain a set of lcov files.

644
 
4688 dpurdie 645
    * EnvVars
646
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
647
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
648
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
649
 
650
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
651
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
652

655
    * Jats caching
656
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
657
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
683
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
684
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
685
 
686
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
687
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
688
 
689
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
690
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
691
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
692
 
693
    * Jats Internal: Database access

Minor changes:
981
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
982
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
983
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands

985
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
986
 
987
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
988

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1015
Major changes:
1016
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1017
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1018
      intended to build deployed software.
1019
 
1020
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1021
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1022
 
1023
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1024
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1025
 
1026
Minor changes:
1027
    * Jats wrapper script
1028
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1029
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1030
      Subversion instance of the command.
1031
 
1032
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1033
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1034
 
1035
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1036

      file under windows.

1043
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1044
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1045
 
1046
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1047
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1048
 
1049
    * GCC Toolchain
1050
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

Major changes:
1067
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1068
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1069
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1070
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1071
 
1072
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1073
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

Minor changes:
1084
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1085
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1086
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1087
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1088
      line.
1089
 
1090
    * Jats Configuration

      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1110
 
1111
    * Utility: svnsave_build

      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1114
 
1115
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1116

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1122
Major changes:
1123
 
1124
Minor changes:
1125
    * svnrelease utility
1126
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1127
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1128
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1129
 
1130
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1131
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1132
      the named tag.
1133
 
1134
    * svnrelease utility
1135
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1136
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
1146
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
1147
        covered by the makefile.
1148
 
1149
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1150
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1151
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1152
 
1153
    * ALL Toolsets
1154
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1155
 
1156
    * Utility vcsdiff
1157
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1158
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1159
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Major changes:
1165
 
1166
Minor changes:
1167
    * Subversion Extraction
1168
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1169
      directory of the tag.
1170
 
1171
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1172
      repository.
1173
 
1174
    * Subversion Support
1175
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1176
      showing the user what to do.
1177
 
1178
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1179
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1180
      we have build support for this target.
1181
 
1182
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1183
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1184
 
1185
Internal:
1186
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1187
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1203
Major changes:
1204
 
1205
Minor changes:
1206
    * Makefile generation
1207
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1208
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1209
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1210
      of warnings.
1211
 
1212
    * Makefile Generation
1213
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
1214
 
1215
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
1216
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

2429 dpurdie 1221
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1222
Major changes:
1223
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1224
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1225
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1226
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1227
 
1228
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1229
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1230
      windows path scheme.
1231
 
1232
Minor changes:
1233
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1234
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1235
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1236
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1237
 
1238
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1239
        jats make clobber
1240
      This operates as before.
1241
 
1242
    * Utility: escrow
1243
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1244
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1245
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1246
 
1247
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1248
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1249
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1250
 
1251
    * Utility: svn : url
1252
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1253
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1254
 
1255
    * Utility: svn : import
1256
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1257
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1258
 
1259
    * Subversion Support
1260
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1261
      showing the user what to do.
1262
 
1263
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1264
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1265
      repositories.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1270
 
1271
Minor changes:
1272
    * Jats build
1273
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1274
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1275
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1276
 
1277
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1278
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 1279
 
1280
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages

Minor changes:
1287
    * Utility: svn
1288
      Added two subcommands
1289
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1290
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1291
                 Can also display available branches.
1292
 
2054 dpurdie 1293
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
1294
      Added '-keepgoing' option to allow the user to ignore errors

1296
    * Utility: rtag_extract
1297
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
1298
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
1299
 
1300
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1301
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1302
      Modified two options:
1303
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1304
                        The named branch must not exist
1305
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1306
                        The named branch must exist
1307
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
1316
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
1317
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
1318
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

1341
 
1342
Major changes:
1343
    * Jats Version Number
1344
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
1345
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
1346
      significantly.
1347
 
1348

Major changes:
1359
    * Subversion support
1360
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
1361
      SubVersion. Changes include:
1362
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
1363
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1364
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1365
 
1366
Minor changes:
1367
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1368
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1369
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1370
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1371
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1372
 
1373
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1374
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1375
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1376
 
1377
    * Linux support utilities
1378
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
1379
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
1380

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1385
Major changes:
1386
    * Subversion Repository location
1387
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1388
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1389
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1390
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
1391
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1392
 
1393
Minor changes:
1394
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1395
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1396
 
1397
    * Utility: svnrelease
1398
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1399
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1400
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1401
 
1402
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1403
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1404
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1405
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1406
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1407
 
1408
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1409
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1410
 
1411
    * Utility: sandbox
1412
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
1413
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1414
 
1415
      Subcommand: populate
1416
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1417
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1418
      sandbox.
1419
 
1420
    * Subversion Support
1421
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1422
      repository is not supported.
1423
 
1424
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1425
      a progress indication.
1426
 
1427
    * Jats Online Documentation
1428
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1429
      online documentation.
1430
 
1431
    * Generated makefiles
1432
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

1508
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1509
Major changes:
1510
 
1511
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1512
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1513
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1514
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1515
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1516
 
1517
    * C# Toolchain
1518

1531
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1532
 
1533
    * Utility ccrelease
1534
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1535
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1536
 
1537
    * Utility: svn
1538
      Improved package import processing.
1539
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

1566
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1567
Major changes:
1568
 
1569
Minor changes:
1570
    * Command: jats clobber
1571
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1572
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1573
 
1574
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1575
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1576
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1577
 
1578
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1579
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1580
 
377 dpurdie 1581
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1582
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1583
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1584
 
1585
    * jats svnlabel
1586
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1587
 
1588
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1589
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1590
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1591
 
1592
    * Built Daemon support
1593
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1594
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1595

373 dpurdie 1597
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
1598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1599
Major changes:
1600
    * GCC Toolset
1601
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1602
      New methodology is:
1603
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1604
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1605
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1606
        as the main binary.
1607
 
1608
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1609
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1610
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1611
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1612
      both worlds.
1613
 
1614
Minor changes:
1615
    * HTML Documentation
1616
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1617

1625
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1626
Major changes:
1627
    * Jats Sandbox
1628
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1629
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1630
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1631
 
1632
    * RIORDS Platform
1633

1653
 
1654
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1655

1656
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1657
 
1658
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1659
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1660
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1661
      a vob.
1662
 
1663

1741
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100

1743
 
1744
Minor changes:
1745
    * HTML Help
1746
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1747
 
1748
    * jats build -noforce
1749
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1750
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1751
      be forced.
1752
 
1753
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1754
 
1755
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1756
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1757
 
1758
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1759
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1760
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1761
 
1762
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1763
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1764
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1765
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1766
 
1767
    * Utility: svnrelease
1768
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1769
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1770
 
1771
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1772
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1773
 
1774
    * Utility: svn
1775
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1776
      installed and can be used.
1777
 
1778
    * Toolset: CSharp
1779
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1780
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1781
      character.
1782
 
1783
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1784
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1785
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1786
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1787
      masking an error.
1788
 
1789
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1790
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1791
      enhancement.
1792
 
1793
    * Toolset: dafbr
1794
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
1795
 
1796
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
1797
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1798
        - Return correct path to package
1799
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1800
 
1801
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1802
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1803
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1804
 
1805
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1806
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1807
      packages.
1808
 
1809
    * make command: show
1810
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1811
      'jats make show' command.
1812
 
1813
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1814
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1815
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1816
 
1817
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1818
      executed on Unix machines.

1855
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
1856
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
1857
 
1858
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
1859
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
1860
      developers.

1882
      in a package archive.
1883
 
1884
      Sub command: create
1885
      New option '-exact'. This will create a sandbox in which the package
1886
      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
1887
      package version.
1888
 
1889
      Command specific help
1890

2179
    * Jats label command
2180
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2181
      Not recommended for general use.
2182

      directories within the current view.
2184
 
2185
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2186
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2187
      elsewhere.
2188
 
2189
    * Jats save_build
2190
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2191
      the determination of a branch.
2192
 
2193
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2194
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2195
 
2196
    * Jats build
2197
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2198
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2199
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2200
 
2201
    * Borland6 toolset
2202
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2203

        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2205
 
2206
    * Jats build
2207
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2208
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2209
      This is a very quick operation.
2210
 
2211
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2212
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2213
 
2214
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2215
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2216
      files are only recreated if need be.
2217
 
2218
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2219
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2220
      make the package.
2221
 
2222
    * Jats sandbox
2223
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2224
 
2225
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2226
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2227
 
2228
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2229
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2230
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2231
      is performed.
2232
 
2233

2273
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2274
 
2275

      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2304
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2305
 
2306
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2307
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.

      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2310
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2311
 
2312
      Examples:
2313
            jats upddep -show
2314
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2315
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2316
 
2317
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2318
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2319
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2320
 
2321
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2322
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2323
 
2324
Minor changes:
2325
 
2326
Internal changes:
2327
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
2328
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 2331
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
2332
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2333
Major changes:
2334
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2335
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2336
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2337
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2338
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2339
      stream.
2340
 
2341
      Example:
2342
 
2343
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2344
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2345
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2346
                     );
2347
Minor changes:
2348
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2349
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2350
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2351
      directive.
2352
 
2353
    * GCC Toolkit
2354
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2355
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2356
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2357
      the point of termination.
2358
 
2359
    * Jats save_build utility
2360
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2361
      under windows.
2362
 
2363
    * Jats sandbox
2364
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2365
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2366
      in different sandboxes.
2367
 
2368
    * Jats release
2369
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2370

Version:  2.83.1000.cr                               Released: 04-Feb-10
2373
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2374
Major changes:
2375
 
2376
Minor changes:
2377
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2378
      Added -locatedir=name
2379
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2380
      directory.
2381
 
2382
    * jats label utility
2383
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2384
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2385
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2386
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2387
 
2388
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2389
 
2390

317 dpurdie 2391
Version:  2.83.0000.cr                               Released: 20-Jan-10
315 dpurdie 2392
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2393
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 2394
 
2395
Minor changes:
2396
    * WinCe Toolsets
2397
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2398
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2399
        noExceptions            - Disable
2400
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2401
      Example:
2402
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2403
 
2404
    * Solaris targets
2405
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2406
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2407
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2408
      machine type.
2409
 
2410
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2411
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
2412
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2413
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2414
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2415
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2416
      project files.
2417
 
2418
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2419
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2420
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2421
 
2422
Minor changes:
2423
    * Added more internal documentation
2424
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2425
 
2426
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2427
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2428
 
2429
    * Jats save_build utility
2430
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2431
      under windows.
2432
 
2433
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2434
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2435
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2436
      libraries.
2437
 
2438
    * Solaris builds
2439
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2440
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2441
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2442
      of the build failure.
2443
 
2444
 
2445
Internal changes:
2446
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2447
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2448
 
2449
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2450
      PkgArchive topics.

313 dpurdie 2453
Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
2454
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2455
Major changes:
2456
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2457
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2458
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2459
      existing 32-bit builds.
2460
 
2461
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
2462
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
2463
 
2464
Minor changes:
2465
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
2466
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2467
 
2468
    * Package searching
2469
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2470
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2471
 
2472
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2473
 
2474
    * jats help
2475
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2476
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2477
 
2478
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2479
      with one of:
2480
        jats -h
2481
        jats help jats
2482
 
2483
Internal:
2484
    * cmdfile utility
2485
      Added macros:
2486
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2487
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2488
 
2489
      Corrected
2490
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
2491
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
2492
 
2493
      Extended
2494
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2495
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2496
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2497
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

2502
Major changes:
2503
 
2504
Minor changes:
2505
 
2506
Internal changes
2507
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2508
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2509
      Useful side effects include:
2510
 
2511
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2512
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2513
 
2514
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2515
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2516
 
2517
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2518
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2519
        BuildPkgArchive
2520
 
313 dpurdie 2521
    * Perl Modules
2522
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2523
      release. This will:
2524
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2525
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2526
          reported by ERG.
2527
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

2532
Major changes:
2533
 
2534
Minor changes:
2535
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2536
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2537
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2538
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2539
 
2540
    * Jats label utility
2541
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2542
 
2543
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2544
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2545
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2546
 
2547
    * Jats core
2548
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2549
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2550
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 2558
    * CSHARP toolset
2559
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2560
      This is now fixed.
2561
 
309 dpurdie 2562
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2563
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2564
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2565
 
2566
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2567
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
2568
 
2569

Major changes:
2573
 
2574
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 2575
    * Generating makefiles
2576
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2577
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2578
      an error.
2579
 
2580
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2581
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2582
 
2583
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2584
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 2585
      Refer the JATS Manual.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2590
Major changes:
2591
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2592
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2593
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2594
 
2595
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2596
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2597
 
2598
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2599
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2600
      Support includes
2601
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2602
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2603
 
2604
Minor changes:
2605
    * Build file processing
2606
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2607
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2608
 
2609
    * MOS builds
2610
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2611
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2612
 
2613
    * MOS builds
2614
      New 'known' product: PICP
2615
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2616
 
2617
    * GenerateFiles directive
2618
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2619
        under windows.
2620
 
2621
        .
2622
 
2623
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2624
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2625
 
2626
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2627
      to the output stream.
2628
 
2629
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2630
 
2631
    * Windows Shell
2632
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2633
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2634
 
2635
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2636
 
2637
    * H8S toolset
2638
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2639
 
2640
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2641
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2642
 
2643
Internal changes
2644
    * WinCe builds
2645
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2646
      content of the file.
2647
 
2648
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2649
 
2650
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2651
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

2662
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2663
Major changes:
2664
 
2665
Minor changes:
2666
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2667
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2668
      Changes are transparent to users.
2669
 
2670
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2671
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2672
      this occurs.
2673
 
2674
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2675
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2676
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2677
      automated build framework.
2678
 
2679
    * jats sandbox command
2680
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2681

2755
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2756
Major changes:
2757
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2758
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2759
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2760
 
2761
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2762
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2763
 
2764
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2765
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2766
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2767
           names cannot be changed.
2768
 
2769
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2770
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2771
 
2772
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2773
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2774
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2775
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2776
 
2777
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2778
      file.
2779
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2780
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2781
      MyPackage.dpk.
2782
 
2783
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2784
      file.
2785
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2786
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2787
      MyDll.dpr.
2788
 
2789
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2790
      file.
2791
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2792
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2793
      MyProg.dpr.
2794
 
2795
Minor changes:
2796
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2797
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2798
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2799
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2800
 
2801
    * BuildVersion directive
2802
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2803
      in a Delphi Unit.
2804
 
2805
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2806
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2807
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2808
      'know' the location of the files.
2809
 
2810
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2811
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2812
 
2813
Internal Changes:
2814
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2815
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2816
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2817
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2818
 
2819
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2820
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2821
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
2822

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2825
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2826
Major changes:
2827
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2828
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2829
      information for purely C++ builds.
2830
 
289 dpurdie 2831
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2832
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2833
 
289 dpurdie 2834
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2835
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2836
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2837
 
2838
Minor changes:
2839
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2840
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2841
 
2842
    * updatenodespec utility
2843
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2844

2883
      used in the build.
2884
 
2885
    * Escrow command
2886
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2887
 
2888
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2889
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2890
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2891
 
2892
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2893
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2898
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2899
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2900
 
279 dpurdie 2901
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2902
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2903
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2904
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2905
 
2906
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2907
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2908
 
2909
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2910
 
2911
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2912
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2913
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2914
 
2915
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2916
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2917
        processed.
2918
 
2919
      Removed the '-delete' option
2920
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2921
 
277 dpurdie 2922
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2923
    * Sandbox command
2924
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2925
 
2926
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2927
      target from consideration in the build set.
2928
 
2929
    * MCR Toolset
2930
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2931
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2932
 
2933
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2934
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2935
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2936
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2937
 
2938
    * Jats run_test command
2939
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2940
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2941
 
2942
    * descpkg file
2943
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2944
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2945
 
2946
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2947
     Now contains build trace information
2948
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2949
 
2950
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2951
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2952
     it contains 'jar' files.
2953
 
2954
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2955
 
2956
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2957
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2958
 
2959
   * BuildVersion directive
2960
     Form:
2961
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2962
     now works as expected.
2963
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2964
 
2965
Internal Changes:
2966
 
2967
    * Error reporting mechanism
2968
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2969
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2970
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
2980
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
2981
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
2982
    then starts.
2983
 
2984
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2985
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2986
 
2987
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2988
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2989
    non-platform option.
2990
 
279 dpurdie 2991
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

3009
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
3010
 
3011
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
3012
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
3013

      to the invoked application.
3023
 
3024
Internal Changes:

3130
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3131
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3132
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

3154
 
3155
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3156
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3157
 
3158
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

3249
 
3250
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
3251
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
3252
      programs.
3253
 
3254
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
3255
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

3324
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3325
      Previously was being done at two places
3326
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3327
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3328
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
3329
 
3330
    * JATS make: Command line
3331
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
3332

3389
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3390
 
3391
Minor changes:
3392
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3393
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

3403
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3404
 
3405
      New platforms:
3406
        CSHARP2005
3407
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3408
         Support extends to allow:
3409
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3410
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3411
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3412
 
3413
        VS2005
3414
         Support extends to allow:
3415
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3416
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3417
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3418
 
3419
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3420
      through a version selector:
3421
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3422
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3423
 
3424
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3425
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3426
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3427
 
3428
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3429
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3430
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3431
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3432
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3433
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3434
          under VS2005.
3435
 
3436
Minor changes:
3437
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
3442
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3443
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3444
 
3445
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3446
 
3447
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3448
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3449
 
3450
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3451
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3452
      a minimal value of perl.
3453
 
3454
      Removed excessive require statements.
3455

3457
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3458
      Include JATS specific files for
3459
        1) Windows
3460
        2) Linux
3461
 
3462
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3463
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3464
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3465
      machines.
3466
 
3467
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3468
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC

3470
    * JATS Environment
3471
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3472
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3473
 
3474
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3475
      wrapper scripts.
3476
 
3477
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3478
      Correct problem with location of build files.

Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
3531
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3532
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3533
  * New toolset and platform
3534
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3535
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3536
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3537
    this platform.
3538
 
3539
Minor changes:
3540
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3541
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3542
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3543
    work.
3544
 
3545
  * Jats utility: release
3546
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3547
    published to dpkg_archive.
3548
 
249 dpurdie 3549
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3550
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3551
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3552
    supported for ANT builds.
3553
 
3554
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3555
        releasemanager.releasename
3556
        releasemanager.projectname
3557
 
3558
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3559
    tagged data item of the form
3560
 
3561
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3562
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3563
 
3564
  * Mug File Generation
3565
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3566
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3567
 
3568
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3569
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3570
    required.
3571
 
3572
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3573
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3574
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3575
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3576
    the files in order to use them.
3577
 
3578
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3579
    locate the file.
3580
 
3581
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3582
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3583
 
3584
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3585
        * CSharp
3586
        * Properties
3587
        * WinRC
3588
 
3589
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3590
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3591
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3592
    Value is correctly assigned.
3593

3596
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3597
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3598
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3599
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3600
 
3601
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3602
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3603
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3604
 
3605
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3606
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3607
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3608
 
3609
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3610
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3611
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3612
 
3613
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3614
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3615
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3616
    correct.
3617
 
3618
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3619
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3620
 
3621
Minor changes:
3622
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3623
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3624
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3625
 
3626
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3627
    This will simplify new user setup.
3628
 
3629
  * All Unix Toolsets
3630
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3631
    on unix systems
3632
 
3633
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3634
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3635
    on some Solaris Machines.
3636
 
3637
  * JATS -version=<version>
3638
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3639
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

3689
  * JATS makefiles
3690
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3691
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3692
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3693
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or

    * Jats Release Mechanism
3857
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3858
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3859
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3860
 
3861
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3862
 
3863
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3864
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3865
 
3866
    * Running Jats
3867
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3868
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3869
      This may affect some windows developers.
3870
 
3871
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3872
      Future versions will generate an error.
3873
 
3874
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3875
 
3876
Minor changes:
3877
    * Perl Version Check
3878
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3879
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3880
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3881
 
3882
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3883
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3884
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3885
      build.
3886
 
3887
    * Jats Internals
3888
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3889
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3890
 
3891
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3892
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3893
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3894
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3895
      process.
3896
 
3897
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3898
      Only works under Windows.
3899
 
3900
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3901
 
3902
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3903
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3904
 
3905
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3906
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3907
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3908
 
3909
    * Jats eprog
3910
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3911
      directory.
3912
 
3913
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3914
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3915
      build metrics.
3916

3920
Major changes:
3921
 
3922
Minor changes:
3923
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3924
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3925
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3926
      automated build system. New options are:
3927
        -pname=Package_Name
3928
        -pversion=Package_Version
3929
 
3930
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3931
      transferring the package. New options are:
3932
        -test
3933
 
3934
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3935
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3936
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3937
 
3938
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3939
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3940
 
3941
    * Solaris Toolset
3942
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3943
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3944
      programs are still supported.

Major changes:
3950
 
3951
Minor changes:
3952
    * WINCE toolsets
3953
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3954
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3955
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3956
      when header files cannot be found.
3957
 
3958
    * GenerateFiles directive
3959
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3960
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3961
      that are difficult to solve.
3962
 
3963
    * MakePerlModule directive
3964
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3965
      to the the module builder.
3966
 
3967
    * Jats Tool: label
3968
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3969
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3970
      -dirs=xxx options.
3971
 
3972
    * Jats Tool: release
3973
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3974
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3975
 
3976
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3977
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3978
 
3979
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3980
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3981
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3982
 
3983
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
3990
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3991
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3992
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3993
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3994
 
3995
Minor changes:
3996
    * label utility
3997
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3998
 
3999
    * make package and install operations
4000
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
4001
      transfer.
4002
 
4003
    * make clean up
4004
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4005
 
4006
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4007
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4008
      minor file transformations such as:
4009
        Copy, with optional rename
4010
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4011
        Perform simple TAG replacement
4012
 
4013
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
4014
 
4015
    * jats release utility
4016
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4017
      in place.
4018
 
4019
    * escrow utility
4020
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
4021
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
4029
    * Makefile generation
4030
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4031
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4032
      generate phase early.

4037
Major changes:
4038
 
4039
Minor changes:
4040
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4041
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4042
 
4043
    * Makefile generation
4044
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4045
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4046
 
4047
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4048
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4049
 
4050
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4051
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4052
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4053
 
4054
    * jats_rewrite utility
4055
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4056
 
4057
    * jats escrow utility
4058
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4059
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4060
 
4061
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4062
      inconsistent packages.
4063
 
4064
    * jats make help
4065
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4066
      available within the current build.
4067
 
4068
    * jats makefiles
4069
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4070
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4071
 
4072
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4073
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4074
 
4075
    * gcc toolset
4076
      SharedLibries.
4077
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4078
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4079
 
4080
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4081
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4082
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4083
 
4084
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4085
        New options:
4086
            --MultiScan
4087
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4088
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4089
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4095
Major changes:
4096
 
4097
Minor changes:
4098
    PackageLib directive
4099
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4100
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4101
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4102
 
4103
    MakefileGenerate directive
4104
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4105
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4106
 
4107
    Multiple Parent detection
4108
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4109
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4110
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4111
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4112
 
4113
    Solaris Toolset
4114
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4115
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4116
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4117
    link.
4118
 
4119
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4120
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4121
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4122
 
4123
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4124
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4125
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4126
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4131
Major changes:
4132
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4133
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4134
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4135
 
4136
    Summary of changes:
4137
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4138
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4139
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4140
          flexibility.
4141
 
4142
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4143
 
4144
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4145
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4146
          interface directory and associated build information.
4147
 
4148
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4149
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4150
          than one second.
4151
 
4152
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4153
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4154
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4155
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4156
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4157
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4158
 
4159
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4160
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4161
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4162
 
4163
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4164
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4165
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4166
          building them.
4167
 
4168
        - Detection of build file changes
4169
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4170
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4171
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4172
 
4173
        - Quieter make output
4174
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4175
 
4176
 
4177
Minor changes:
4178
    MakeAnt Directive
4179
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4180
 
4181
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4182
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4183
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4184
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4185
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4186
 
4187
    CSHARP toolset
4188
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4189

Minor changes:
4196
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4197
    are generated.
4198
 
4199
    MakeAnt
4200
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4201
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4202
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4203
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4204
 
4205
    MCR platform
4206
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

4214
Minor changes:
4215
    MakeAnt directive extended
4216
    New option: --PackageBase
4217
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4218
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4219
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4220
 
4221
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4222
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4223
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4224
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4244
 
4245
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4246
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4247
 
4248
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4249
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4250
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.

    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4253
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4254
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4255
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

4282
Minor changes:
4283
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4284
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4285
 
4286
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4287
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4288
      last.
4289
 
4290
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4291
 
4292
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4293
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4294
 
4295
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4296
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4297
 
4298
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4299
 
4300
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4301
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4302
 
4303
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4304
 
4305
 
4306
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4307
           with the --System option
4308
 
4309
    * LMOS target platform

4315
Major changes:
4316
 
4317
Minor changes:
4318
    * Solaris Toolset
4319
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
4320
      dependent packages.
4321
 
4322
    * RunTest operation
4323
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4324
 
4325
    * Csharp toolkit
4326
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
4327

Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
4330
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4331
Major changes:
4332
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4333
 
4334
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4335
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4336
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4337
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4338
      path.
4339
 
4340
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4341
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4342
      reproducible.
4343
 
4344
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4345
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4346
 
4347
      There are several aspects to the change
4348
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4349
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4350
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4351
 
4352
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4353
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4354
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4355
          controlled separately.
4356
 
4357
Minor changes:
4358
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4359
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4360
        Remove duplicates
4361
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4362

4364
Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
4365
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4366
Major changes:
4367
 
4368
Minor changes:
4369
    * Makefile sanity test
4370
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4371
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4372
 
4373
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4374
      x86 machine.
4375
 
4376
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4377
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4378
 
4379
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4380
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4381
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4382
Major changes:
4383
    * RunTest directive
4384
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4385
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4386
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4387
 
4388
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4389
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4390
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4391
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4392
 
4393
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4394
        builder within the current toolset.
4395
 
4396
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4397
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4398
 
4399
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4400
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4401
      containing the RunTest directive.
4402
 
4403
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4404
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4405
 
4406
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4407
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4408
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4409
 
4410
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4411
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4412
                            P or D suffix.
4413
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4414
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4415
 
4416
Minor changes:
4417
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4418
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4419
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4420
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4421
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4422
 
4423
    * Save Build Utility
4424
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4425
      used in a ripple build.
4426
 
4427
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4428
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4429
 
4430
    * Release Utility
4431
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4432
      when an error is encountered.
4433
 
4434
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4435
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4436
 
4437
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4438
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4439
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4440
 
4441
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4442
      before the makefiles are created.
4443
 
4444
    * TestProg directive
4445
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4446
 
4447
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4448
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4449

4453
Major changes:
4454
    * New build target
4455
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4456
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4457
 
4458
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4459
            DEVLINUX
4460
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4461
 
4462
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4463
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4464
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4465
 
4466
Minor changes:
4467
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4468
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4469
 
4470
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4471
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4472
 
4473
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4474
      and .cs files.
4475
 
4476
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4477
      thing.
4478
 
4479
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4480
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4481
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4482
      were it places temp files.
4483
 
4484
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4485
      interaction with other builds.
4486
 
4487
    * Release utility command
4488
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4489
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4490
      component in the clearcase tag name.

4507
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4508
 
4509
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

4551
  * Deployment
4552
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4553
 
4554
  * build.pl
4555
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4556
 
4557
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4558
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4559
 
4560
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4561
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4562
    build.
4563
 
4564
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4565
 
4566
  * Tool: escrow
4567
     New features

4569
     are not in the SBOM.
4570
 
4571
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4572

4578
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4579
Major changes:
4580
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4581
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4582
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4583
 
4584
  * GenerateFiles
4585
    Added the options:
4586
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4587
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4588
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4589
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4590
 
4591
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4592
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4593
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4594
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4595
                                  required.
4596
 
4597
 
4598
Minor changes:
4599
  * GenerateFile directive
4600
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4601
 
4602
  * GCC Toolset
4603
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4604
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4605
    be rebuilt.
4606
 
4607
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4608
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4609
 
4610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4611
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4613
Major changes:
4614
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4615
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4616
    environment variables.
4617
 
4618
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4619
            moved.
4620
 
4621
    This will affect users that:
4622
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4623
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4624
 
4625
        2) Use the ABT system
4626
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4627
           the required configuration
4628
 
4629
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4630
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4631
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4632

4644
  * New build platforms
4645
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4646
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4647
 
4648
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4649
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4650
 
4651
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4652
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4653
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4654
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4655
 
4656
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4657
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4658
    release.
4659
 
4660
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4661
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4662
 
4663
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4664
    need to be converted.
4665
 
4666
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4667
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4668
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4669
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4670
    used for different targets platforms.
4671
 
4672
  * Sandbox support
4673
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4674
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4675
 
4676
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4677
 
4678
Minor changes:
4679
 
4680
 
4681
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4682
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4684
Major changes:
4685
  * MakeAnt directive
4686
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4687
 
4688
    New options
4689
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4690
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4691
 
4692
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4693
    run_unit_tests phase.
4694
 
4695
  * Sandbox support
4696
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4697
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4698
 
4699
Minor changes:
4700
  * jats build
4701
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4702
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4703
 
4704
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4705
 
4706
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4707
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4708
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4709
 
4710
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4711
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4712
 
4713
  * JATS.BAT
4714
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4715
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4716
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4717
 
4718
  * jats label
4719
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4720
 
4721
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4722
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4723
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4724
Major changes:
4725
  * New build platform:
4726
        LMOS_TP5600
4727
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4728
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4729
 
4730
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4731
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4732
    describe the group of platforms.
4733
 
4734
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4735
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4736
    build these targets.
4737
 
4738
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4739
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4740
 
4741
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4742
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4743
 
4744
  * New build platform: WINCE
4745
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4746
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4747
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4748
 
4749
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4750
            WCEIT3000
4751
            WCEPA961
4752
            WCEPA962
4753
            WCEPCM7220
4754
            WCEPSION_420
4755
            WCEPSPC_arm
4756
            WCEPSPC_emu
4757
            WCEX86A420
4758
            WCEX86A500
4759
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4760
 
4761
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4762
 
4763
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4764
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4765
    that contain packaging directives.
4766
 
4767
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4768
    very unusual configurations.
4769
 
4770
Minor changes:
4771
  * Directive: PackageFile
4772
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4773
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4774
    an '='.
4775
 
4776
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4777
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4778
 
4779
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4780
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4781
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4782
 
4783
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4784
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4785
 
4786
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4787
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4788
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4789
Major changes:
4790
 
4791
  * JATS release command
4792
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4793
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4794
 
4795
    Rules are:
4796
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4797
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4798
                            File will be placed on a branch
4799
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4800
                            New directory will branch
4801
 
4802
Minor changes:
4803
  * JATS release command
4804
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4805
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4806
 
4807
  * JATS label command
4808
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4809
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4810
 
4811
  * JATS make
4812
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4813
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4814
    was re-packaged.
4815
 
4816
  * JATS escrow
4817
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4818
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4819
 
4820
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4821
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4822
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4823
 
4824
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4825
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4826
    interface directory.
4827
 
4828
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4829
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4830
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4831
    directory as seen by the package.
4832
 
4833
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4834
 
4835
  * JAVA 6
4836
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4837
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4838
 
4839
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4840
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4841
 
4842
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4843
 
4844
  * Jats command: vars
4845
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4846
    These indicate potential problems.
4847
 
4848
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4849
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4851
Major changes:
4852
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4853
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4854
    libarry is also created.
4855
 
4856
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4857
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4858
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4859
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4860
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4861
    information contained within the file.
4862
 
4863
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4864
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4865
 
4866
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4867
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4868
 
4869
  * Building Perl Modules
4870
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4871
    documentation on the build machine.
4872
 
4873
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4874
 
4875
Minor changes:
4876
  * jats create_dpkg
4877
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4878
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4879
 
4880
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4881
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4882
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4883
Major changes:
4884
  * JATS JAVA build target
4885
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4886
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4887
 
4888
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4889
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4890
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4891
    is then picked up as the default version.
4892
 
4893
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4894
    build.pl file.
4895
 
4896
Minor changes:
4897
  * jats release
4898
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4899
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4900
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4901
 
4902
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4903
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4904
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4905
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4906
    the name of the view.
4907
 
4908
  * GenerateFiles directive
4909
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4910
 
4911
  * MOS Toolset
4912
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4913
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4914
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4915
 
4916
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4917
 
4918
 
4919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4920
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4921
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4922
Major changes:
4923
 
4924
Minor changes:
4925
  * JATS environment
4926
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4927
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4928
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4929
 
4930
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4931
 
4932
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4933
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4934
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4935
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4936
    to be packaged.
4937
 
4938
  * Generated makefiles
4939
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4940
 
4941
  * Generating MOS THX files
4942
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4943
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4944
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4945
 
4946
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4947
 
4948
  * JATS release
4949
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4950
 
4951
  * JATS extract
4952
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4953
 
4954
  * JATS Toolset
4955
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4956
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4957
 
4958
 
4959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4960
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4961
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4962
Major changes:
4963
 
4964
Minor changes:
4965
  * jats label
4966
    Added a -vob=name option
4967
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4968
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4969
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4970
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4971
 
4972
    Added a -user=name option
4973
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4974
    label to the named user.
4975
 
4976
  * jats release
4977
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4978
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4979
 
4980
  * JATS build.pl
4981
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4982
    ie:
4983
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4984
 
4985
 
4986
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4987
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4988
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4989
Major changes:
4990
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4991
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4992
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4993
    the makefile internals. ie:
4994
        --Var(BuildName)
4995
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4996
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4997
 
4998
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4999
 
5000
  * GenerateFiles
5001
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5002
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5003
 
5004
  * BuildPlatforms
5005
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5006
 
5007
Minor changes:
5008
  * GCC Toolset
5009
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5010
 
5011
Internal changes:
5012
  * GenerateFiles
5013
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5014
 
5015
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5016
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5017
 
5018
 
5019
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5020
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5021
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5022
Major changes:
5023
  * Caching JATS
5024
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5025
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5026
 
5027
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5028
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5029
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5030
 
5031
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5032
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5033
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5034
 
5035
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5036
 
5037
Minor changes:
5038
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5039
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5040
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5041
 
5042
  * jats build
5043
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5044
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5045
    processed by the build.
5046
 
5047
  * jats build
5048
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5049
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5050
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5051
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5052
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5053
 
5054
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5055
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5056
    Path is not specified.
5057
 
5058
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5059
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5060
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5061
        --Dir=$Pinc
5062
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5063
 
5064
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5065
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5066
    Windows platform.
5067
 
5068
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5069
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5070
            by 'purecov.
5071
 
5072
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5073
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5074
 
5075
        - OPTIONS=purify
5076
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5077
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5078
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
5083
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5084
Major changes:
5085
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5086
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5087
    Example:
5088
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5089
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5090
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5091
 
5092
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5093
    been determined.
5094
 
5095
Minor changes:
5096
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5097
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5098
    located at build-time.
5099
 
5100
  * Unix based systems
5101
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5102
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5103
 
5104
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5105
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5106
    driver being built.
5107
 
5108

5121
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5122
 
5123
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5124
    dependancy information within a package.
5125
 
5126
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5127
    messages.

5135
 
5136
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5137
 
5138
    GenerateFiles.
5139
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5140
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5141
                      be run on every invocation.
5142
 
5143
 
5144
Minor changes:

5147
 
5148
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
5149
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5150
  There are two mechanism:
5151
 
5152
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5153
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5154
 
5155
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5156
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5157
 
5158
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5159
  default.
5160
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5161
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

5167
  * SunWorks Toolset
5168
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5169
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5170
    It is based on machine type.
5171
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5172
 
5173
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5174
 
5175
Minor changes:
5176

5177
    Removed the message showing database connection
5178
 
5179

5184
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5185
Major changes:
5186
  * GCC Toolset
5187
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
5188
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
5189
    Removed the use of `uname`.
5190
 
5191
  * Added platforms
5192
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
5193
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5194
    TP5600_EMU
5195
 
5196
Minor changes:

5198
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
5199
    field separator.
5200
 
5201
  * JATS eprog command
5202
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5203
 
5204
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5205
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5206
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5207
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5208
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5209
 
5210
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5211
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5212
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5213
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5214
 
5215
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5216
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

5226
 
5227
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
5228
 
5229
 
5230
Minor changes:
5231
  * JATS wrapper script
5232
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5233
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5234
    to setup links to system programs.
5235

5254
Major changes:
5255
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5256
    Added CompileOptions
5257
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5258
        no_misalign         - Default
5259
 
5260
        multithread         - Default
5261
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
5262
 
5263
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5264
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
5265
 
5266

5274
        debug_debuginfo
5275
 
5276
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5277
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5278
    Theses are:
5279
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5280
        SOLARIS_AMD
5281
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5282
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5283
 
5284
Minor changes:
5285
  * AT3232 toolset
5286
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
5287
 
5288
  * Jats build

Major changes:
5296
 
5297
Minor changes:
5298
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5299
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5300
    messages
5301
 
5302
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5303
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5304
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5305
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5306

5310
Major changes:
5311
 
5312
Minor changes:
5313
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5314
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5315
    library without creating the body of the library:
5316
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5317
 
5318
 
5319
  * MOS toolsets
5320
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5321
    library without creating the body of the library:
5322
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5323
 
5324
  * JATS BIN directories
5325
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5326
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5327
    using autoconf.
5328
 
5329
  * Generate directive
5330
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5331
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5332
 
5333
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5334

5348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5349
Major changes:
5350
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5351
    Initial release.
5352
 
5353
  * Packaging directives
5354
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5355
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5356
 
5357
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5358
        SOLARIS
5359
        WIN32
5360
 
5361
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5362
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5363
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5364
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5365
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5366
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5367
 
5368
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5369
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5370
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5371
 
5372
 
5373
Minor changes:
5374
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5375
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5376
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5377
 
5378
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5379
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5380
    location
5381
 
5382
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5383
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5384
 
5385
  * Utility genrc
5386
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5387
 
5388
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5389
    Added option: -new
5390
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5391
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5392
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5393
 
5394
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5395
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5396
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5397
 
5398
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5399
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5400
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5401
 
5402
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5403
   features - in a uniform manner.
5404
 
5405
 
5406
Internal Changes:
5407
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5408
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5409
 
5410
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5411
        1) Platform information available at build time
5412
        2) Dynamic platform names
5413
 
5414
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5415
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5416
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5417
 
5418
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5419
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5420
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5421
 
5422
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5423
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5424
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5425
    needed.
5426
 
5427
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5428
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5429
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5430
    files from all of these.

Major changes:
5445
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5446
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5447
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5448
 
5449
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5450
 
5451
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5452
    the operations.
5453
 
5454
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5455
 
5456
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5457
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5458
 
5459
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5460
 
5461
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5462
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5463
 
5464
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5465
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5466
    Extended the built-in help
5467
    Added useful error messages
5468
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5469
 
5470
  * WinCE toolset
5471
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5472
 
5473
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5474
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5475
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5476
 
5477
Minor changes:
5478
  * JATS wrapper script
5479
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5480
    the command line.
5481
 
5482
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5483
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5484
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5485
 
5486
Internal Changes:
5487
  * Common Error Reporting
5488
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5489
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5490
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5491
    level.
5492
 
5493
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5494
    displayed.
5495
 
5496
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5497
 
5498
  * Added JatsSystem module
5499
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5500
------------------------------------------------------------------------

5503
Major changes:
5504
 
5505
Minor changes:
5506
  * BR Compiler toolset
5507
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5508
    .def files to include other files.
5509
 
5510
  * IAR toolset
5511
    Added AT7272 support
5512
 
5513
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5514
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5515
 
5516

Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
5518
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5519
Major changes:
5520
 
5521
Minor changes:
5522
  * BR Compiler toolset
5523
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5524
    use.
5525
 
5526
 
5527
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5528
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5530
Major changes:
5531
 
5532
Minor changes:
5533
  * Mictotec toolset
5534
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5535
    builds.
5536
 
5537
  * JATS Core
5538
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5539
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5540
    behaviour.
5541
 
5542
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5543
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5544
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5545
Major changes:
5546
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5547
    Deployment package will be affected.
5548
 
5549
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5550
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5551
 
5552
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5553
 
5554
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5555
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5556
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5557
    packages.
5558
 
5559
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5560
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5561
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5562
 
5563
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5564
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5565
 
5566
Minor changes:
5567
  * SubDir directive
5568
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5569
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5570
 
5571
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5572
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5573
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5574
    of the file usage.
5575
 
5576
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5577
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5578
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5579
 
5580
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5581
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5582
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5583
 
5584
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5585
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5586
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5587
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5588
 
5589
 
5590
Internal Changes:
5591
  * Code refactor
5592
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5593
 
5594
  * Deployment utilities
5595
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5596
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5597
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5598
    the module can locate the file.
5599
 
5600
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5601
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5602
 
5603
  * JATS core
5604
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5605
 
5606
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5607
 
5608
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5609
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5610
    through the use of environment variables.
5611
 
5612
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5613
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5614
 
5615
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5616
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5617
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5618
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5619
 
5620
  * Make environment
5621
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5622
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5623
 
5624
 
5625
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5626
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5627
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5628
Major changes:
5629
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5630
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5631
 
5632
 
5633
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5634
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5635
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5636
 
5637
Not Released.
5638
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5639
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5640
 
5641
 
5642
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5643
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5644
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5645
Major changes:
5646
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5647
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5648
    radically replaced.
5649
 
5650
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5651
    Usage:
5652
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5653
 
5654
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5655
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5656
    this solution:
5657
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5658
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5659
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5660
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5661
 
5662
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5663
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5664
    order to work.
5665
 
5666
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5667
    reduced functionality.
5668
 
5669
 
5670
Minor changes:
5671
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5672
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5673
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5674
 
5675
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5676
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5677
    within the makefiles.
5678
        Options:
5679
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5680
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5681
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5682
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5683
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5684
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5685
        Useage:
5686
 
5687
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5688
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5689
 
5690
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5691
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5692
    is not in the current directory.
5693
 
5694
  * Jats Command: ant'
5695
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5696
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5697
 
5698
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5699
 
5700
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5701
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5702
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5703
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5704
 
5705
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5706
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5707
    Thus
5708
 
5709
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5710
 
5711
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5712
 
5713
 
5714
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5715
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5716
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5717
Major changes:
5718
 
5719
Minor changes:
5720
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5721
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5722
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5723
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5724
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5725
 
5726
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5727
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5728
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5729
 
5730
Internal changes:
5731
  * JATS toolsets
5732
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5733
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5734
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5735
 
5736
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5737
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5738
 
5739
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5740
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5741
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5742
Major changes:
5743
  * Jats command: etool
5744
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5745
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5746
 
5747
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5748
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5749
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5750
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5751
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5752
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5753
 
5754
Minor changes:
5755
 
5756
 
5757
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5758
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5759
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5760
Major changes:
5761
  * JATS environment variables
5762
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5763
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5764
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5765
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5766
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5767
 
5768
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5769
              Remote repository
5770
 
5771
    Added GBE_DPLY
5772
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5773
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5774
 
5775
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5776
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5777
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5778
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5779
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5780
 
5781
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5782
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5783
 
5784
 
5785
Minor changes:
5786
  * JATS utility: build
5787
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5788
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5789
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5790
 
5791
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5792
    Ensure label is not locked
5793
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5794
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5795
 
5796
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5797
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5798
    to a specific type of build.
5799
 
5800
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5801
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5802
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5803
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5804
 
5805
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5806
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5807
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5808
 
5809
  * JATS utility: release
5810
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5811
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5812
 
5813
  * JATS utility: label
5814
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5815
    when it is being created.
5816
 
5817
Internal Changes
5818
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5819
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5820
 
5821
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5822
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5823
 
5824
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5825
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5826
    different results.
5827
 
5828
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5829
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5830
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5831
 
5832
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5833
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5834
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5835
Major changes:
5836
 
5837
  * MCR toolset
5838
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5839
 
5840
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5841
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5842
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5843
Major changes:
5844
  * WIN32 utilities
5845
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5846
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5847
 
5848
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5849
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5850
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5851
 
5852
Minor changes:
5853
  * BuildVersion
5854
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5855
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5856
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5857
 
5858
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5859
 
5860
  * Unix Builds
5861
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5862
    library or a shared library.
5863
 
5864
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5865
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5866
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5867
    start with 'lib'.
5868
 
5869
  * BuildPkgArchive
5870
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5871
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5872
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5873

5875
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5876
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5877
Major changes:
5878
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5879
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5880
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5881
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5882
    being manually maintained.
5883
 
5884
 
5885
Minor changes:
5886
  * MakeAnt directive
5887
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5888
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5889
    supports ANT builds.
5890
 
5891
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5892
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5893
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5894
 
5895
  * Label utility
5896
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5897
    files to be labeled.
5898
 
5899
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5900
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5901
    on Solaris.
5902
 
5903
  * Generated makefiles
5904
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5905
    nothing.
5906
 
5907
  * MOS Toolset
5908
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5909
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5910
    modules.
5911
 
5912
  * Utility: gen_cots
5913
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5914
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5915
 
5916
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5917
 
5918
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5919
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5920
 
5921
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5922
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5924
Major changes:
5925
  None
5926
 
5927
Minor changes:
5928
  * DEVI addressed
5929
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 5930
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 5931
 
5932
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5933
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5934
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5935
 
5936
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5937
 
5938
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5939
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5940
 
5941
  * RunTest directive
5942
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5943
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5944
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5945
 
5946
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5947
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5948
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5949
    packaged under JATS
5950
 
5951
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5952
          supported within JATS.
5953
 
5954
  * Jats utility wrapper
5955
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5956
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5957
 
5958
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5959
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5960
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5961
 
5962
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5963
    Eg: jats ant
5964
 
5965
  * Jats utility wrapper
5966
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5967
 
5710 dpurdie 5968
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 5969
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5970
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5971
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5972
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5973
 
5710 dpurdie 5974
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 5975
    expect a build.pl file.
5976
 
5977
  * Jats utility wrapper
5978
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5979
 
5980
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5981
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5982
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5983
 
5984
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5985
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5986
 
5987
  * Build files
5988
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 5989
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 5990
 
5991
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5992
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5993
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5994
Major changes:
5995
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5996
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5997
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5998
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5999
 
6000
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6001
 
6002
Minor changes:
6003
  * None
6004
 
6005
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6006
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6007
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6008
Major changes:
6009
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6010
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6011
    ie:
6012
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6013
 
6014
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6015
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6016
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6017
    environments are compatible.
6018
 
6019
 
6020
Minor changes:
6021
  * BuildName option
6022
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6023
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6024
 
6025
  * jats.bat
6026
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6027
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6028
 
6029
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6030
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6031
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6032
Major changes:
6033
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6034
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6035
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6036
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6037
 
6038
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6039
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6040
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6041
 
6042
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6043
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6044
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6045
 
6046
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6047
    transferred.
6048
 
6049
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6050
    See notes below.
6051
 
6052
  * WIN32 toolset
6053
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6054
    correctly.
6055
 
6056
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6057
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6058
 
6059
  * BuildVersion
6060
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6061
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6062
    other langauges as needed.
6063
 
6064
 
6065
Minor changes:
6066
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6067
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6068
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6069
    version strings.
6070
 
6071
  * GenerateFiles directive
6072
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6073
    package or an imported package.
6074
 
6075
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6076
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6077
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6078
 
6079
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6080
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6081
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6082
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6083
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6084
 
6085
Internal Changes
6086
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6087
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6088
    of utilities.
6089
 
6090
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6091
    functions.
6092
 
6093
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6094
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6095
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6096
Major changes:
6097
  * Generated makefiles
6098
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6099
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6100
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6101
 
6102
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6103
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6104
    incorrectly processing:
6105
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6106
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6107
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6108
    confused.
6109
 
6110
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6111
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6112
    The construct
6113
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6114
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6115
    then it works.
6116
 
6117
  * MakeAnt directive
6118
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6119
 
6120
    This option has the following effects
6121
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6122
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6123
 
6124
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6125
           early - in the generated files phase.
6126
 
6127
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6128
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6129
 
6130
 
6131
Minor changes:
6132
  * JATS post-installation script
6133
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6134
 
6135
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6136
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6137
    windows.
6138
 
6139
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6140
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6141
 
6142
  * Jats wrapper script
6143
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6144
        1) Contain spaces
6145
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6146
 
6147
  * Toolset
6148
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6149
 
6150
  * JAVA toolset
6151
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6152
    directive:
6153
 
6154
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6155
 
6156
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6157
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6158
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6159
 
6160
  * GCC Toolset
6161
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6162
 
6163
  * Makefile generation
6164
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6165
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6166
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6167
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6168
    package could not be used.
6169
 
6170
  * Unit Tests
6171
    The following environment variables are set:
6172
 
6173
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6174
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6175
 
6176
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6177
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6178
 
6179
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6180
 
6181
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6182
 
6183
 
6184
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6185
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6186
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6187
Major changes:
6188
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6189
 
6190
    Special features of this toolset.
6191
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6192
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6193
       incorporated within the target image.
6194
 
6195
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6196
       --Set=Name=Value
6197
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6198
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6199
 
6200
       --Ref=name
6201
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6202
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6203
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6204
                will be taken from the build version number.
6205
 
6206
Minor changes:
6207
  * MOS Toolset
6208
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6209
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6210
    packaged.
6211
 
6212
  * Src directive
6213
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6214
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6215
    specifier.
6216
 
6217
  * WIN32 runtime support
6218
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6219
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6220
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6221
 
6222
Internal:
6223
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6224
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6225
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6226
 
6227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6228
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6229
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6230
Major changes:
6231
    * BuildAlias directive
6232
      Added options.
6233
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6234
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6235
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6236
                          targets.
6237
      Eg:
6238
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6239
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6240
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6241
 
6242
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6243
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6244
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6245
 
6246
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6247
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6248
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6249
 
6250
 
6251
Minor changes:
6252
  * Label utility
6253
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6254
    build.pl file
6255
 
6256
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6257
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6258
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6259
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6260
    --FilterIn option.
6261
 
6262
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6263
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6264
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6265
 
6266
  * Location of descpkg file
6267
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6268
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6269
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6270
 
6271

6272
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6273
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6274
Major changes:
6275
  * RunTest directive
6276
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6277
    Additional options
6278
      --CopyIn=file
6279
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6280
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6281
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6282
        the test area.
6283
 
6284
    Additional operations
6285
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6286
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6287
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6288
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6289
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6290
    Allows flags:
6291
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6292
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6293
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6294
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6295
 
6296
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6297
    existence is tested.
6298
 
6299
  * Packaging Directives
6300
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6301
    such as LMOS.
6302
 
6303
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6304
 
6305
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6306
 
6307
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6308
 
6309
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6310
 
6311
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6312
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6313
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6314
 
6315
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6316
 
6317
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6318
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6319
 
6320
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6321
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6322
 
6323
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6324
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6325
 
6326
Minor changes:
6327
  * Script directive
6328
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6329
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6330
 
6331
  * JATS environment
6332
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6333
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6334
    the JATS wrapper script.
6335
 
6336
  * Label utility
6337
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6338
    There are three modes of operation:
6339
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6340
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6341
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6342

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6345
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6346
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6347
Major changes:
6348
 
6349
Minor changes:
6350
  * label utility
6351
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6352
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6353
 
6354
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6355
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6356
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6357
      --ProgLoader=name
6358
 
6359
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6360
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6361
    Options to do this are:
6362
        --TreeDir=name
6363
        --FilterOut=regexp
6364
        --FilterIn=regexp
6365
        --StripDir
6366
 
6367
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6368
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6369
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6370
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6371
 
6372
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6373
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6374
 
6375
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6376
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6377
 
6378
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6379
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6380
 
6381
 
6382
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6383
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6384
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6385
Major changes:
6386
    * Make commands
6387
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6388
 
6389
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6390
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6391
 
6392
    * Label utility
6393
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6394
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6395
 
6396
Minor changes:
6397
    * Toolsets
6398
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6399
      variables and overrides.
6400
 
6401
      The make_init target is always run.
6402
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6403
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6404
 
6405
    * Deployment
6406
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6407
      with deployment operations.
6408
 
6409
    * Release utility
6410
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6411
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6412
      restricted by options within the build.
6413
 
6414
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6415
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6416
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6417
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6418
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6419
 
6420
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6421
      directives.
6422
 
6423
    * MakeProject directive
6424
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6425
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6426
 
6427
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6428
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6429
      is preserved.
6430
 
6431
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6432
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6433
      statements.
6434
 
6435
    * Mugfile generation
6436
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6437
      be placed in the target package.
6438
 
6439
 
6440
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6441
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6442
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6443
Major changes:
6444
    * BuildVersion directive
6445
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6446
      number as well as a patch number.
6447
 
6448
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6449
      number.
6450
 
6451
Minor changes:
6452
    * AddFlags directives
6453
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6454
      duplicate flags being added.
6455
 
6456
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6457
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6458
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6459
 
6460
    * Mug File Generation
6461
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6462
 
6463
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6464
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6465
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6466
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6467
     directory.
6468
 
6469
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6470
     reproducible.
6471

6473
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6474
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6475
Major changes:
6476
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6477
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6478
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6479
      longer a list of directories.
6480
 
6481
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6482
      done within the toolset.
6483
 
6484
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6485
 
6486
    * JATS environment variables
6487
      Redefined variable
6488
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6489
                          Previously was a list that included the
6490
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6491
 
6492
      New variable
6493
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6494
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6495
 
6496
 
6497
Minor changes:
6498
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6499
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6500
      target platforms to be extracted.
6501
 
6502
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6503
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6504
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6505
 
6506
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6507
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6508
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6509
 
6510
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6511
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6512
 
6513
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6514
      Support ANT based XML files
6515
 
6516
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6517
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6518
      structure.
6519
 
6520
    * makefile.pl's
6521
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6522
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6523
 
6524
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6525
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6526
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6527
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6528
 
6529
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6530
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6531
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6532
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6533
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6534
      -- Auto.
6535
 
6536
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6537
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6538
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6539
 
6540
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6541
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6542
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6543
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6544
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6545
 
6546
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6547
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6548
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6549
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6550
      installed on the machine.
6551
 
6552
    * WINCE Targets
6553
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6554
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6555
 
6556
 
6557

6559
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6560
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6561
Major changes:
6562
    * WIN32 platforms
6563
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6564
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6565
      and installed packages.
6566
 
6567
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6568
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6569
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6570
 
6571
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6572
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6573
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6574
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6575
      searched when looking for libraries.
6576
 
6577
Minor changes:
6578
    * GenerateFiles directive
6579
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6580
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6581
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6582
                          and drive letter
6583
 
6584
    * Src directive
6585
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6586
      directory of a package.
6587
 
6588
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6589
 
6590
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6591
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6592
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6593
 
6594
    * jats_rewrite utility
6595
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6596
 
6597
 
6598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6599
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6601
Major changes:
6602
    * SunWorks production builds
6603
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6604
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6605
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6606
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6607
      compiler documentation.
6608
 
6609
    * MOS Toolset
6610
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6611
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6612
 
6613
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6614
 
6615
Minor changes:
6616
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6617
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6618
      This should not affect current users.
6619
 
6620
    * Mugfile generation
6621
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6622
      specified.
6623
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6624

6627
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6628
Major changes:
6629
    MOS Toolset
6630
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6631
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6632
 
6633
Minor changes:
6634
    * Jats wrapper script
6635
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6636
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6637
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6638
 
6639
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6640
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6641
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6642
      may be suspect.
6643
 
6644
    * GenerateFiles directive
6645
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6646
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6647
 
6648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6649
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6651
Major changes:
6652
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6653
      build.xml files.
6654
 
6655
Minor changes:
6656
    * WIN32 toolset.
6657
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6658
 
6659
    * MakeAnt
6660
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6661
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6662
 
6663
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6664
 
6665
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6666
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6667
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6668
 
6669
    * MakeAnt directive
6670
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6671
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6672
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6673
 
6674
      Recommended usage:
6675
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6676
 
6677
Internal Changes
6678
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6684
Major changes:
6685
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6686
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6687
      files packaged into the release.
6688
 
6689

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6693
 
6694
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6695
      The recommended platform is:
6696
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6697
 
6698
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6699
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6700
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6701
      components.
6702

6707
 
6708
Minor changes:
6709
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6710
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6711
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6712
      by the package to be accessed.
6713
 
6714
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6715
      application or visual studio.
6716
 
6717
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6718
      and the JATS Core path.
6719
 
6720
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6721
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6722
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6723
 
6724
    * MOS Toolset
6725
      Add support for the TPT device
6726
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6727
 
6728
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6729
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6730
 
6731
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6732
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6733
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6734
 
6735
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6736
 
6737
Internal Changes
6738
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6739
      in jats.pl
6740
 
6741
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6742
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6743
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6744
Major changes:
6745
    * JATS wrapper script
6746
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6747
 
6748
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6749
 
6750
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6751
 
6752
Minor changes:
6753
    * Deployment support
6754
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6755
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6756
 
6757
    * 'build'
6758
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6759
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6760
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6761
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6762
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6763
 
6764
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6765
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6766
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6767
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6768
                                      the link phase.
6769
 
6770
    * BuildPkgArchive
6771
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6772
      Previously these were ignored.
6773
      Minor code cleanup
6774
 
6775
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6776
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6777
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6778
 
6779
    * SOLARIS targets
6780
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6781
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6782
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6783
 
6784
    * MugFile generation
6785
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6786
      included in the final package.
6787
 
6788
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6789
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6790
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6791
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6792
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6793
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6794
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6795
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6796
 
6797
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6798
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6799
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6800
            --Option=(some_text)
6801
            --Option=[some_text]
6802
            --Option={some_text}
6803
 
6804
Internal Changes
6805
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6806
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6807
      code.
6808
 
6809
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6810
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6811
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6812
Major changes:
6813
    * JATS wrapper script
6814
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6815
 
6816
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6817
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6818
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6819
      other components.
6820
 
6821
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6822
 
6823
    * JATS
6824
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6825
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6826
 
6827
    * Build operations
6828
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6829
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6830
      packages.
6831
 
6832
    * Make operations
6833
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6834
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6835
 
6836
Minor changes:
6837
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6838
      deployment builds.
6839
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6840
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6841
 
6842
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6843
 
6844
    * build.pl
6845
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6846
        processed. Allows
6847
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6848
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6849
        production.
6850
 
6851
    * MOS toolset
6852
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6853
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6854
 
6855
    * create_dpkg utility
6856
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6857
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6858
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6859
      progress of the build.
6860
 
6861
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6862
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6863
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6864
      system.
6865
 
6866
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6867
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6868
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6869
Major changes:
6870
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6871
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6872
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6873
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6874
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6875
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6876
 
6877
    * WCEX86A500 target
6878
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6879
 
6880
    * MOS Toolsets
6881
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6882
      the compiler.
6883
 
6884
    * RunTest directive
6885
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6886
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6887
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6888
 
6889
Minor changes:
6890
    * JATS BUILD
6891
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6892
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6893
      highlight bad settings.
6894
 
6895
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6896
      access to extensions.
6897
 
6898
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6899
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6901
Major changes:
6902
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6903
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6904
 
6905
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6906
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6907
      under unix.
6908
 
6909
Minor changes:
6910
    * label utility
6911
      Added options to:
6912
        o Delete a label
6913
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6914
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6915
 
6916
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6917
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6918
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6919
      Package directives.
6920
 
6921
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6922
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6923
      system.
6924
 
6925
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6926
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6927
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6928
Major changes:
6929
    * MOS Toolset
6930
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6931
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6932
 
6933
    * WIN32 Toolset
6934
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6935
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6936
      list.
6937
 
6938
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6939
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6940
 
6941
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6942
 
6943
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6944
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6945
 
6946
 
6947
Minor changes:
6948
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6949
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6950
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6951
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6952
      corrected.
6953
 
6954
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6955
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6956
 
6957
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6958
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6959
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6960
 
6961
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6962
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6964
Major changes:
6965
    * WIN32 Toolset
6966
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6967
      use with multithreaded modes.
6968
 
6969
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6970
      --OnlyProd.
6971
 
6972
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6973
      within the makefile.pl.
6974
 
6975
Minor changes:
6976
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6977
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6978
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6979
      platforms.
6980
 
6981
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6982
 
6983
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6984
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6986
Major changes:
6987
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6988
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6989
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6990
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6991
 
6992
    * Preliminary Support
6993
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6994
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6995
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6996
 
6997
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6998
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6999
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7000
 
7001
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7002
      building. The default build will build both.
7003
 
7004
Minor changes:
7005
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7006
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7007
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7008
 
7009
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7010
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7011
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7012
 
7013
 
7014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7015
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7017
Major changes:
7018
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7019
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7020
      or all.
7021
 
7022
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7023
      the library or program.
7024
 
7025
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7026
 
7027
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7028
      library or any debug files.
7029
 
7030
    * GenerateFiles
7031
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7032
 
7033
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7034
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7035
 
7036
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7037
              The filename of the prereq file
7038
 
7039
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7040
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7041
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7042
 
7043
 
7044
Minor changes:
7045
    * create_dpkg utility
7046
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7047
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7048
      the package has been altered.
7049

      This is a WINCE target
7056
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7057
 
7058
    * New toolset
7059
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr

    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7069
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7070
 
7071
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7072
 
7073
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7074
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7075
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7076
 
7077
      The change allows the construct
7078
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7079
      to be replaced by the simpler
7080
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7081
 
7082
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7083
      specified name.

7103
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7104
Major changes:
7105
    * The "package.pl" file.
7106
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7107
      package name being taken from the build name
7108
 
7109
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7110
      package Build Name.
7111
 
7112
Minor changes:
7113
    * create_dpkg utility
7114
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7115

7119
Major changes:
7120
 
7121
Minor changes:
7122
    * Dependancy generator
7123
      Correct two common situations
7124
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7125
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7126
           ansi, but is often done.
7127
 
7128
    * GCC toolset
7129
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7130
      being created in the correct place.
7131
 
7132
    * jats "label"
7133
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7134
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7135
 
7136
 
7137
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7138
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7139
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7140
Major changes:
7141
 
7142
Minor changes:
7143
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7144
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7145
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7146
 
7147
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7148
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7149
 
7150
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7151
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7152
      package was not being transferred.
7153
 
7154
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7155
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7156
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7157
Major changes:
7158
    * Support for solaris_i386
7159
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7160
      binaries for this target.
7161
 
7162
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7163
      with the GCC compiler.
7164
 
7165
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7166
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7167
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7168
 
7169
Minor changes:
7170
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7171
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7172
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7173
 
7174
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7175
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7176
 
7177
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7178
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7179
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7180
Major changes:
7181
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7182
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7183
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7184
 
7185
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7186
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7187
 
7188
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7189
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7190
      with either " or ' characters.
7191
 
7192
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7193
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7194
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7195
 
7196
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7197
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7198
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7199
 
7200
    * Jats wrapper
7201
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7202
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7203
      further commands.
7204
 
7205
Minor changes:
7206
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7207
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7208
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7209
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7210
 
7211
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7212
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7213
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7214
Major changes:
7215
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7216
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7217
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7218
 
7219
      These options operation affect all components within the
7220
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7221
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7222
 
7223
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7224
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7225
 
7226
Minor changes:
7227

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7229
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7231
Major changes:
7232
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7233
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7234
 
7235
Minor changes:
7236
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7237
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7238
 
7239
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7240
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7241
 
7242
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7243
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7244
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7245
Major changes:
7246
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7247
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7248
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7249
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7250
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7251
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7252
      installed.
7253
 
7254
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7255
      libraries that depend on each other.
7256
 
7257
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7258
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7259
 
7260
Minor changes:
7261
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7262
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7263
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7264
 
7265
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7266
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7267
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7268
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7269
 
7270
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7271
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7272
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7273
Major changes:
7274
 
7275
Minor changes:
7276
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7277
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7278
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7279
      file.
7280
 
7281
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7282
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7283
 
7284
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7285
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7286
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7287
 
7288
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7289
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7290
 
7291
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7292
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7293
 
7294
    * WinCE toolsets
7295
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7296
      compiler specific libraries.
7297
 
7298
    * SOLARIS toolset
7299
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7300
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7301
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7302
 
7303
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7304
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7305
      cleaned up.
7306
 
7307
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7308
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7309
 
7310
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7311
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7312
      with either " or ' characters.
7313
 
7314

Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7317
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7318
Major changes:
7319
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7320
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7321
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7322
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7323
 
7324
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7325
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7326
 
7327
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7328
      user.
7329
 
7330
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7331
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7332
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7333
 
7334
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7335
      for the   -Gf option.
7336
 
7337
Minor changes:
7338
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7339
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7340
 
7341
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7342
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7343
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7344
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7345
 
7346
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7347
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7349
Major changes:
7350
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7351
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7352
 
7353
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7354
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7355
      data addresses for the board.
7356
 
7357
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7358
 
7359
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7360
 
7361
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7362
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7363
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7364
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7365
         PackageFile
7366
 
7367
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7368
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7369
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7370
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7371
 
7372
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7373
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7374
      to be installed and packaged.
7375
 
7376
Minor changes:
7377
 
7378
    * cache_dpkg utility
7379
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7380
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7381
 
7382
    * label utility
7383
      New option -auto to create and label
7384
 
7385
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7386
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7387
 
7388
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7389
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7390
      directory. ie:
7391
 
7392
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7393
 
7394
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7395
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7396
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7397
 
7398
 
7399
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7400
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7401
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7402
Major changes:
7403
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7404
 
7405
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7406
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7407
 
7408
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7409
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7410
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7411
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7412
 
7413
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7414
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7415
      compilation.
7416
 
7417
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7418
 
7419
Minor changes:
7420
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7421
      one is being produced.
7422
 
7423
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7424
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7425
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7426
 
7427
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7428
 
7429
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7430
 
7431
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7432
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7433
 
7434
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7435
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7436
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7437
Major changes:
7438
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7439
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7440
 
7441
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7442
 
7443
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7444
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7445
      same directory
7446
 
7447
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7448
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7449
      documenattion.
7450
 
7451
Minor changes:
7452
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7453
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7454
 
7455
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7456
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7457
 
7458
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7459
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7460
 
7461
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7462
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7463
 
7464
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7465
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7466
      be exempt from this test.
7467
 
7468
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7469
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7470
 
7471
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7472
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7473
 
7474
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7475
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7476
      does.
7477
 
7478
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7479
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.

7483
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7484
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7485
Major changes:
7486
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7487
 
7488
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7489
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7490
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7491
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7492
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7493
 
7494
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7495
      operations.
7496
 
7497
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7498
 
7499
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7500
 
7501
Minor changes
7502
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7503
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7504
 
7505
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7506
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7507
      directory is not added to the library path.
7508
 
7509
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7510
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7511
 
7512
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7513
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7514
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7515
 
7516
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7517
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7518
      specific flags.
7519
 
7520
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7521
 
7522
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7523
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7524
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7525
 
7526
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7527
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7528
      JATS.
7529
 
7530
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7531
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7532
 
7533
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7534
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7535
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7536
 
7537
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7538
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7539
 
7540
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7541
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7542
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7543
 
7544
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7545
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7546
 
7547
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7548
 
7549
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7550
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7551
 
7552
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7553
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7554
      objects.
7555
 
7556
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7557
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7558
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7559
      build defendants.
