Major changes:
474
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
475
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
476
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
477
 
478
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
479
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
480
      duplicates corrected.
481
 
482
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
483
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
484
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
485
 
486
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
487
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
488
      displayed at the end of the build process.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
715
Minor changes:
716
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
717
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
718
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
719
 
720
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
721
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
722
 
723
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
724
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
725
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
726
 
727
    * Jats Internal: Database access
728
      Rebuilt the database access tools using Java 1.4
729

Minor changes:
1015
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1016
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1017
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands

1019
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1020
 
1021
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1022

1049
Major changes:
1050
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1051
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1052
      intended to build deployed software.
1053
 
1054
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1055
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1056
 
1057
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1058
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1059
 
1060
Minor changes:
1061
    * Jats wrapper script
1062
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1063
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1064
      Subversion instance of the command.
1065
 
1066
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1067
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.

      file under windows.
1075
 
1076
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1077
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1078
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1079
 
1080
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1081
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1082
 
1083
    * GCC Toolchain
1084
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1100
Major changes:
1101
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1102
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1103
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1104
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1105
 
1106
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1107
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1117
Minor changes:
1118
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1119
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1120
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1121
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1122
      line.
1123
 
1124
    * Jats Configuration
1125
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1126
 
1127
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1128
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1129
      and Linux.
1130
 
1131

Major changes:
1138
 
1139
Minor changes:
1140
    * Jats Core
1141
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1142
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1143
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1144
 
1145
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1146
      Used only by the build daemons.
1147
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1148
 
1149
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1150
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1151
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

1156
Major changes:
1157
 
1158
Minor changes:
1159
    * svnrelease utility
1160
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1161
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1162
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1163
 
1164
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1165
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1166
      the named tag.
1167
 
1168
    * svnrelease utility
1169
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1170
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1181
        covered by the makefile.
1182
 
1183
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1184
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1185
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1186
 
1187
    * ALL Toolsets
1188
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1189
 
1190
    * Utility vcsdiff
1191
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1192
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1193
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1203
      directory of the tag.
1204
 
1205
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1206
      repository.
1207
 
1208
    * Subversion Support
1209
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1210
      showing the user what to do.
1211
 
1212
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1213
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1214
      we have build support for this target.
1215
 
1216
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1217
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1218
 
1219
Internal:
1220
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1221
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1222
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1223
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Major changes:
1238
 
1239
Minor changes:
1240
    * Makefile generation
1241
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1242
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1243
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1244
      of warnings.
1245
 
1246
    * Makefile Generation
1247
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1256
Major changes:
1257
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1258
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1259
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1260
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1261
 
1262
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1263
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1264
      windows path scheme.
1265
 
1266
Minor changes:
1267
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1268
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1269
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1270
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1271
 
1272
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1273
        jats make clobber
1274
      This operates as before.
1275
 
1276
    * Utility: escrow
1277
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1278
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1279
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1280
 
1281
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1282
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1283
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1284
 
1285
    * Utility: svn : url
1286
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1287
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1288
 
1289
    * Utility: svn : import
1290
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1291
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1292
 
1293
    * Subversion Support
1294
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1295
      showing the user what to do.
1296
 
1297
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1298
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1299
      repositories.

1304
 
1305
Minor changes:
1306
    * Jats build
1307
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1308
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1309
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1310
 
1311
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1312
      command, with a sandbox.

      Added two subcommands
1323
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1324
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1325
                 Can also display available branches.
1326
 
2054 dpurdie 1327
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

1333
 
1334
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1335
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1336
      Modified two options:
1337
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1338
                        The named branch must not exist
1339
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1340
                        The named branch must exist
1341
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
1350
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
1351
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
1352
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

1375
 
1376
Major changes:
1377
    * Jats Version Number
1378
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
1379
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
1380
      significantly.

Major changes:
1393
    * Subversion support
1394
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
1395
      SubVersion. Changes include:
1396
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
1397
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1398
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1399
 
1400
Minor changes:
1401
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1402
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1403
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1404
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1405
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1406
 
1407
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1408
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1409
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1410
 
1411
    * Linux support utilities
1412
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
1413
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
1414
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

Major changes:
1420
    * Subversion Repository location
1421
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1422
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1423
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1424
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
1425
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1426
 
1427
Minor changes:
1428
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1429
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1430
 
1431
    * Utility: svnrelease
1432
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1433
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1434
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1435
 
1436
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1437
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1438
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1439
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1440
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1441
 
1442
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1443
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1444
 
1445
    * Utility: sandbox
1446
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
1447
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1448

Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 1515
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1516

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1543
Major changes:
1544
 
1545
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1546
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1547
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1548
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1549
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1550
 
1551
    * C# Toolchain
1552

      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
1565
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1566
 
1567
    * Utility ccrelease
1568
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1569
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1570
 
1571
    * Utility: svn
1572
      Improved package import processing.
1573
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

1600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1601
Major changes:
1602
 
1603
Minor changes:
1604
    * Command: jats clobber
1605
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1606
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1607
 
1608
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1609
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1610
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1611
 
1612
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1613
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1614
 
377 dpurdie 1615
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1616
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1617
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1618
 
1619
    * jats svnlabel
1620
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1621
 
1622
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1623
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1624
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1625
 
1626
    * Built Daemon support
1627
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1628
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1629

373 dpurdie 1631
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
1632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1633
Major changes:
1634
    * GCC Toolset
1635
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1636
      New methodology is:
1637
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1638
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1639
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1640
        as the main binary.
1641
 
1642
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1643
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1644
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1645
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1646
      both worlds.
1647
 
1648
Minor changes:
1649
    * HTML Documentation
1650
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1660
Major changes:
1661
    * Jats Sandbox
1662
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1663
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1664
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1665
 
1666
    * RIORDS Platform
1667
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

1687
 
1688
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1689
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
1690
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1691
 
1692
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1693
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1694
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1695
      a vob.
1696
 
1697
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

1725
 
1726

      viewtag, even if the view has been deleted from disk.
1730
 
1731
    * Jats startup
1732
      Jats will report an error if started in a directory that is inaccessible
1733

1734
      in inaccessible directory.
1735

1762
      the clearcase label.
1763
 
1764

1774
 
1775
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
1776
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
1777
 
1778
Minor changes:
1779
    * HTML Help
1780
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1781
 
1782
    * jats build -noforce
1783
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1784
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1785
      be forced.
1786
 
1787
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1788
 
1789
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1790
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1791
 
1792
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1793
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1794
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1795
 
1796
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1797
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1798
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1799
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1800
 
1801
    * Utility: svnrelease
1802
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1803
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1804
 
1805
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1806
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1807
 
1808
    * Utility: svn
1809
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1810
      installed and can be used.
1811
 
1812
    * Toolset: CSharp
1813
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1814
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1815
      character.
1816
 
1817
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1818
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1819
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1820
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1821
      masking an error.
1822
 
1823
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1824
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1825
      enhancement.
1826
 
1827
    * Toolset: dafbr
1828
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
1829
 
1830
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
1831
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1832
        - Return correct path to package
1833
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1834
 
1835
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1836
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1837
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1838
 
1839
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1840
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1841
      packages.
1842
 
1843
    * make command: show
1844
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1845
      'jats make show' command.
1846
 
1847
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1848
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1849
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1850
 
1851
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be

    * Jats label command
2214
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon

2220
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2221
      elsewhere.
2222
 
2223
    * Jats save_build
2224
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2225
      the determination of a branch.
2226
 
2227
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2228
      up labeling by the build daemons.

2243
      This is a very quick operation.
2244
 
2245
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2246
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2247
 
2248
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2249
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2250
      files are only recreated if need be.
2251
 
2252
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2253
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2254
      make the package.
2255
 
2256
    * Jats sandbox
2257
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2258
 
2259
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2260
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2261
 
2262
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2263
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2264
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2265
      is performed.
2266
 
2267
Internal:
2268
    * build.pl

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2301
Major changes:
2302
 
2303
Minor changes:
2304
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2305
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2306
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2307
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2308
 
2309
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2310
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2311
 
2312
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2313
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2314
      platform builds.
2315
 
2316
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2317
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2318
      directory tree.
2319
 
2320
    * New command: jats man

323 dpurdie 2332
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
2333
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2334
Major changes:
2335
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2336
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2337
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2338
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2339
 
2340
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2341
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2342
 
2343
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2344
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2345
 
2346
      Examples:
2347
            jats upddep -show
2348
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2349
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2350
 
2351
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2352
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2353
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2354
 
2355
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2356
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2357
 
2358
Minor changes:
2359
 
2360
Internal changes:
2361
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
2366
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2367
Major changes:
2368
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2369
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2370
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2371
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2372
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2373
      stream.
2374
 
2375
      Example:
2376
 
2377
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2378
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2379
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2380
                     );
2381
Minor changes:
2382
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2383
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2384
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2385
      directive.
2386
 
2387
    * GCC Toolkit
2388
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2389
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2390
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2391
      the point of termination.
2392
 
2393
    * Jats save_build utility
2394
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2395
      under windows.
2396
 
2397
    * Jats sandbox
2398
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2399
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2400
      in different sandboxes.
2401
 
2402
    * Jats release
2403
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2404

2410
Minor changes:
2411
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2412
      Added -locatedir=name
2413
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2414
      directory.
2415
 
2416
    * jats label utility
2417
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2418
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2419
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2420
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2421
 
2422
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2423

317 dpurdie 2428
 
2429
Minor changes:
2430
    * WinCe Toolsets
2431
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2432
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2433
        noExceptions            - Disable
2434
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2435
      Example:
2436
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2437
 
2438
    * Solaris targets
2439
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2440
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2441
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2442
      machine type.

2446
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2447
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2448
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2449
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2450
      project files.
2451
 
2452
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2453
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2454
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2455
 
2456
Minor changes:
2457
    * Added more internal documentation
2458
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2459
 
2460
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2461
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2462
 
2463
    * Jats save_build utility
2464
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2465
      under windows.
2466
 
2467
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2468
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2469
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2470
      libraries.
2471
 
2472
    * Solaris builds
2473
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2474
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2475
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2476
      of the build failure.
2477
 
2478
 
2479
Internal changes:
2480
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2481
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2482
 
2483
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2484
      PkgArchive topics.

2488
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2489
Major changes:
2490
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2491
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2492
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2493
      existing 32-bit builds.
2494
 
2495
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
2496
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
2497
 
2498
Minor changes:
2499
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
2500
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2501
 
2502
    * Package searching
2503
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2504
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2505
 
2506
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2507
 
2508
    * jats help
2509
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2510
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2511
 
2512
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2513
      with one of:
2514
        jats -h
2515
        jats help jats
2516
 
2517
Internal:
2518
    * cmdfile utility
2519
      Added macros:
2520
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2521
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2522
 
2523
      Corrected
2524
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
2525
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
2526
 
2527
      Extended
2528
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2529
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2530
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2531
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Internal changes
2541
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2542
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2543
      Useful side effects include:
2544
 
2545
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2546
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2547
 
2548
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2549
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2550
 
2551
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2552
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2553
        BuildPkgArchive
2554
 
313 dpurdie 2555
    * Perl Modules
2556
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2557
      release. This will:
2558
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2559
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2560
          reported by ERG.
2561
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2570
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2571
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2572
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2573
 
2574
    * Jats label utility
2575
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2576
 
2577
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2578
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2579
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2580
 
2581
    * Jats core
2582
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2583
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2584
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
2593
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2594
      This is now fixed.
2595
 
309 dpurdie 2596
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2597
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2598
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2599
 
2600
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005

2610
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2611
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2612
      an error.
2613
 
2614
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2615
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.

      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2627
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2628
 
2629
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2630
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2631
 
2632
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2633
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2634
      Support includes
2635
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2636
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2637
 
2638
Minor changes:
2639
    * Build file processing
2640
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2641
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2642
 
2643
    * MOS builds
2644
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2645
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2646
 
2647
    * MOS builds
2648
      New 'known' product: PICP
2649
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2650
 
2651
    * GenerateFiles directive
2652
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2653
        under windows.
2654
 
2655
        .
2656
 
2657
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2658
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2659
 
2660
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2661
      to the output stream.
2662
 
2663
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2664
 
2665
    * Windows Shell
2666
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2667
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2668
 
2669
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2670
 
2671
    * H8S toolset
2672
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2673
 
2674
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2675
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2676
 
2677
Internal changes
2678
    * WinCe builds
2679
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2680
      content of the file.
2681
 
2682
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2683
 
2684
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2685
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2686

2697
Major changes:
2698
 
2699
Minor changes:
2700
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2701
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2702
      Changes are transparent to users.
2703
 
2704
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2705
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2706
      this occurs.
2707
 
2708
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2709
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2710
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2711
      automated build framework.
2712
 
2713
    * jats sandbox command
2714
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2715
      'create' command.
2716
 
2717
    * jats command aliases. Added
2718
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles

2724
Major changes:
2725
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2726
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2727
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2728
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2729
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2730
      will work as expected
2731
 
2732
Minor changes:
2733
    * VS2008 Toolset
2734
      Picking up incorrect config details
2735
      May result in a warning message.
2736
 
2737
    * gen_cots utility
2738
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2739
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2740
 
2741
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2742
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2790
Major changes:
2791
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2792
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2793
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2794
 
2795
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2796
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2797
 
2798
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2799
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2800
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2801
           names cannot be changed.
2802
 
2803
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2804
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2805
 
2806
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2807
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2808
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2809
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2810
 
2811
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2812
      file.
2813
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2814
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2815
      MyPackage.dpk.
2816
 
2817
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2818
      file.
2819
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2820
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2821
      MyDll.dpr.
2822
 
2823
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2824
      file.
2825
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2826
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2827
      MyProg.dpr.
2828
 
2829
Minor changes:
2830
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2831
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2832
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2833
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2834
 
2835
    * BuildVersion directive
2836
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2837
      in a Delphi Unit.
2838
 
2839
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2840
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2841
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2842
      'know' the location of the files.
2843
 
2844
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2845
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2846
 
2847
Internal Changes:
2848
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2849
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2850
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2851
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2852
 
2853
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2854
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2855
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

2859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2860
Major changes:
2861
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2862
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2863
      information for purely C++ builds.
2864
 
289 dpurdie 2865
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2866
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2867
 
289 dpurdie 2868
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2869
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2870
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2871
 
2872
Minor changes:
2873
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2874
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2875
 
2876
    * updatenodespec utility
2877
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2878
      Manager database.

      Not completly fixed, but much better than before.
2889
 
2890
    * Escrow tool
2891
      Remove warning created during normal operation
2892

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2898
Major changes:
2899
    * New Platform: H400
2900
      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
2901
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
2902
 
2903
Minor changes:
2904
    * MergeLibrary directive
2905
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
2906
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
2907

2915
    * New command: jats make show
2916
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2917
      used in the build.
2918
 
2919
    * Escrow command
2920
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2921
 
2922
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2923
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2924
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2925
 
2926
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2927
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2928
 
2929
------------------------------------------------------------------------
279 dpurdie 2930

277 dpurdie 2931
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2932
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2933
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2934
 
279 dpurdie 2935
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2936
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2937
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2938
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2939
 
2940
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2941
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2942
 
2943
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2944
 
2945
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2946
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2947
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2948
 
2949
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2950
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2951
        processed.
2952
 
2953
      Removed the '-delete' option
2954
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2955
 
277 dpurdie 2956
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2957
    * Sandbox command
2958
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2959
 
2960
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2961
      target from consideration in the build set.
2962
 
2963
    * MCR Toolset
2964
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2965
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2966
 
2967
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2968
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2969
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2970
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2971
 
2972
    * Jats run_test command
2973
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2974
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2975
 
2976
    * descpkg file
2977
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2978
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2979
 
2980
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2981
     Now contains build trace information
2982
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2983
 
2984
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2985
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2986
     it contains 'jar' files.
2987
 
2988
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2989
 
2990
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2991
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2992
 
2993
   * BuildVersion directive
2994
     Form:
2995
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2996
     now works as expected.
2997
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2998
 
2999
Internal Changes:
3000
 
3001
    * Error reporting mechanism
3002
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
3003
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
3004
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

3012
Minor changes:
277 dpurdie 3013
  * Jats Wrapper
3014
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
3015
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
3016
    then starts.
3017
 
3018

3164
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3165
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3166

3189
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3190
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

Major changes:
3419
 
3420
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
3421
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3422
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3423
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3424
 
3425
Minor changes:
3426
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3427
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
3428
 
3429
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
3430
      some windows tools.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3435
Major changes:
3436
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
3437
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3438
 
3439
      New platforms:
3440
        CSHARP2005
3441
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3442
         Support extends to allow:
3443
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3444
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3445
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3446
 
3447
        VS2005
3448
         Support extends to allow:
3449
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3450
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3451
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3452
 
3453
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3454
      through a version selector:
3455
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3456
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3457
 
3458
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3459
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3460
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3461
 
3462
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3463
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3464
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3465
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3466
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3467
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3468
          under VS2005.
3469
 
3470
Minor changes:
3471
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
3474
 
3475
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3476
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3477
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3478
 
3479
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3480
 
3481
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3482
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3483
 
3484
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3485
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3486
      a minimal value of perl.
3487
 
3488
      Removed excessive require statements.
3489
 
3490
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3491
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3492
      Include JATS specific files for
3493
        1) Windows
3494
        2) Linux
3495
 
3496
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3497
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3498
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3499
      machines.
3500
 
3501
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3502
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3503
 
3504
    * JATS Environment
3505
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3506
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3507
 
3508
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3509
      wrapper scripts.
3510
 
3511
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3512
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3513
      Spell check help and code.

3541
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
3542
      was added.
3543
 
3544
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
3545
      reviewing a new package.
3546
 
3547
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3548
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are

3566
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3567
  * New toolset and platform
3568
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3569
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3570
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3571
    this platform.
3572
 
3573
Minor changes:
3574
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3575
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3576
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3577
    work.
3578
 
3579
  * Jats utility: release
3580
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3581
    published to dpkg_archive.
3582
 
249 dpurdie 3583
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3584
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3585
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3586
    supported for ANT builds.
3587
 
3588
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3589
        releasemanager.releasename
3590
        releasemanager.projectname
3591
 
3592
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3593
    tagged data item of the form
3594
 
3595
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3596
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3597
 
3598
  * Mug File Generation
3599
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3600
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3601
 
3602
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3603
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3604
    required.
3605
 
3606
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3607
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3608
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3609
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3610
    the files in order to use them.
3611
 
3612
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3613
    locate the file.
3614
 
3615
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3616
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3617
 
3618
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3619
        * CSharp
3620
        * Properties
3621
        * WinRC
3622
 
3623
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3624
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3625
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3626
    Value is correctly assigned.

3631
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3632
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3633
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3634
 
3635
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3636
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3637
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3638
 
3639
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3640
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3641
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3642
 
3643
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3644
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3645
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3646
 
3647
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3648
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3649
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3650
    correct.
3651
 
3652
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3653
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3654
 
3655
Minor changes:
3656
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3657
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3658
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3659
 
3660
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3661
    This will simplify new user setup.
3662
 
3663
  * All Unix Toolsets
3664
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3665
    on unix systems
3666
 
3667
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3668
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3669
    on some Solaris Machines.
3670
 
3671
  * JATS -version=<version>
3672
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3673
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3674

3717
 
3718
  * JATS builds
3719
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

3721
    mode.
3722
 
3723
  * JATS makefiles
3724
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3725
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3726
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3727
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3728
                            SetList directive.
3729
 
3730

3739
  * JATS buildfile processing
3740
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
3741
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
3742
    of JATS.
3743

    * New Toolset: BORLAND
3819
      The toolset uses the Borland C++ Builder 6 to build Borland Project
3820
      files via the MakeProject directive.

    * Extract/Release utility.
3828
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
3829
      that can handle spaces
3830
 
3831
    * MOS Compiler
3832
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3833
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3834
 
3835
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3836
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3837
      descpkg files to be copied.
3838
 
3839

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3875
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3876
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3877
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3878
 
3879
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3880
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3881
 
3882
    * Jats wrapper
3883
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3884
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3885
 
3886
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3889
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3890
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3891
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3892
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3893
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3894
 
3895
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3896
 
3897
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3898
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3899
 
3900
    * Running Jats
3901
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3902
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3903
      This may affect some windows developers.
3904
 
3905
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3906
      Future versions will generate an error.
3907
 
3908
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3909
 
3910
Minor changes:
3911
    * Perl Version Check
3912
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3913
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3914
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3915
 
3916
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3917
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3918
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3919
      build.
3920
 
3921
    * Jats Internals
3922
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3923
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3924
 
3925
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3926
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3927
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3928
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3929
      process.
3930
 
3931
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3932
      Only works under Windows.
3933
 
3934
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3935
 
3936
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3937
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3938
 
3939
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3940
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3941
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3942
 
3943
    * Jats eprog
3944
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3945
      directory.
3946
 
3947
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3948
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3949
      build metrics.
3950
 
3951

3954
Major changes:
3955
 
3956
Minor changes:
3957
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3958
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3959
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3960
      automated build system. New options are:
3961
        -pname=Package_Name
3962
        -pversion=Package_Version
3963
 
3964
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3965
      transferring the package. New options are:
3966
        -test
3967
 
3968
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3969
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3970
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3971
 
3972
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3973
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3974
 
3975
    * Solaris Toolset
3976
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3977
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3978
      programs are still supported.
3979

3983
Major changes:
3984
 
3985
Minor changes:
3986
    * WINCE toolsets
3987
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3988
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3989
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3990
      when header files cannot be found.
3991
 
3992
    * GenerateFiles directive
3993
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3994
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3995
      that are difficult to solve.
3996
 
3997
    * MakePerlModule directive
3998
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3999
      to the the module builder.
4000
 
4001
    * Jats Tool: label
4002
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4003
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4004
      -dirs=xxx options.
4005
 
4006
    * Jats Tool: release
4007
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4008
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4009
 
4010
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4011
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4012
 
4013
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4014
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4015
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4016
 
4017
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4023
Major changes:
4024
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
4025
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
4026
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
4027
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
4028
 
4029
Minor changes:
4030
    * label utility
4031
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
4032
 
4033
    * make package and install operations
4034
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
4035
      transfer.
4036
 
4037
    * make clean up
4038
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4039
 
4040
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4041
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4042
      minor file transformations such as:
4043
        Copy, with optional rename
4044
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4045
        Perform simple TAG replacement
4046
 
4047
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
4048
 
4049
    * jats release utility
4050
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4051
      in place.
4052
 
4053
    * escrow utility
4054
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
4055
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
4063
    * Makefile generation
4064
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4065
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4066
      generate phase early.

4071
Major changes:
4072
 
4073
Minor changes:
4074
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4075
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4076
 
4077
    * Makefile generation
4078
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4079
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4080
 
4081
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4082
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4083
 
4084
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4085
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4086
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4087
 
4088
    * jats_rewrite utility
4089
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4090
 
4091
    * jats escrow utility
4092
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4093
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4094
 
4095
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4096
      inconsistent packages.
4097
 
4098
    * jats make help
4099
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4100
      available within the current build.
4101
 
4102
    * jats makefiles
4103
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4104
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4105
 
4106
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4107
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4108
 
4109
    * gcc toolset
4110
      SharedLibries.
4111
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4112
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4113
 
4114
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4115
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4116
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4117
 
4118
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4119
        New options:
4120
            --MultiScan
4121
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4122
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4123
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4129
Major changes:
4130
 
4131
Minor changes:
4132
    PackageLib directive
4133
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4134
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4135
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4136
 
4137
    MakefileGenerate directive
4138
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4139
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4140
 
4141
    Multiple Parent detection
4142
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4143
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4144
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4145
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4146
 
4147
    Solaris Toolset
4148
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4149
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4150
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4151
    link.
4152
 
4153
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4154
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4155
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4156
 
4157
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4158
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4159
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4160
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4165
Major changes:
4166
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4167
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4168
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4169
 
4170
    Summary of changes:
4171
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4172
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4173
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4174
          flexibility.
4175
 
4176
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4177
 
4178
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4179
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4180
          interface directory and associated build information.
4181
 
4182
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4183
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4184
          than one second.
4185
 
4186
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4187
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4188
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4189
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4190
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4191
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4192
 
4193
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4194
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4195
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4196
 
4197
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4198
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4199
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4200
          building them.
4201
 
4202
        - Detection of build file changes
4203
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4204
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4205
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4206
 
4207
        - Quieter make output
4208
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4209
 
4210
 
4211
Minor changes:
4212
    MakeAnt Directive
4213
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4214
 
4215
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4216
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4217
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4218
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4219
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4220
 
4221
    CSHARP toolset
4222
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4223

4227
Major changes:
4228
 
4229
Minor changes:
4230
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4231
    are generated.
4232
 
4233
    MakeAnt
4234
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4235
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4236
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4237
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4238
 
4239
    MCR platform
4240
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

4247
 
4248
Minor changes:
4249
    MakeAnt directive extended
4250
    New option: --PackageBase
4251
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4252
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4253
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4254
 
4255
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4256
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4257
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4258
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4278
 
4279
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4280
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4281
 
4282
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4283
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4284
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4285
 
4286
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4287
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4288
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4289
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

4316
Minor changes:
4317
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4318
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4319
 
4320
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4321
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4322
      last.
4323
 
4324
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4325
 
4326
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4327
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4328
 
4329
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4330
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4331
 
4332
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4333
 
4334
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4335
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4336
 
4337
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4338
 
4339
 
4340
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4341
           with the --System option
4342
 
4343
    * LMOS target platform

4351
Minor changes:
4352
    * Solaris Toolset
4353
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
4354
      dependent packages.
4355
 
4356
    * RunTest operation
4357
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4358
 
4359
    * Csharp toolkit

4364
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4365
Major changes:
4366
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4367
 
4368
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4369
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4370
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4371
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4372
      path.
4373
 
4374
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4375
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4376
      reproducible.
4377
 
4378
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4379
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4380
 
4381
      There are several aspects to the change
4382
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4383
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4384
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4385
 
4386
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4387
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4388
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4389
          controlled separately.
4390
 
4391
Minor changes:
4392
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4393
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4394
        Remove duplicates
4395
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4396

4400
Major changes:
4401
 
4402
Minor changes:
4403
    * Makefile sanity test
4404
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4405
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4406
 
4407
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4408
      x86 machine.
4409
 
4410
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4411
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4412
 
4413
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4414
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4415
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4416
Major changes:
4417
    * RunTest directive
4418
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4419
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4420
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4421
 
4422
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4423
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4424
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4425
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4426
 
4427
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4428
        builder within the current toolset.
4429
 
4430
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4431
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4432
 
4433
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4434
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4435
      containing the RunTest directive.
4436
 
4437
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4438
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4439
 
4440
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4441
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4442
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4443
 
4444
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4445
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4446
                            P or D suffix.
4447
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4448
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4449
 
4450
Minor changes:
4451
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4452
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4453
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4454
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4455
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4456
 
4457
    * Save Build Utility
4458
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4459
      used in a ripple build.
4460
 
4461
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4462
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4463
 
4464
    * Release Utility
4465
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4466
      when an error is encountered.
4467
 
4468
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4469
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4470
 
4471
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4472
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4473
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4474
 
4475
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4476
      before the makefiles are created.
4477
 
4478
    * TestProg directive
4479
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4480
 
4481
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4482
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4483
 
4484

4487
Major changes:
4488
    * New build target
4489
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4490
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4491
 
4492
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4493
            DEVLINUX
4494
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4495
 
4496
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4497
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4498
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4499
 
4500
Minor changes:
4501
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4502
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4503
 
4504
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4505
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4506
 
4507
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4508
      and .cs files.
4509
 
4510
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4511
      thing.
4512
 
4513
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4514
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4515
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4516
      were it places temp files.
4517
 
4518
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4519
      interaction with other builds.
4520
 
4521
    * Release utility command
4522
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4523
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4524
      component in the clearcase tag name.

        TP5600_EMU
4582
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4583
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4584
 
4585
  * Deployment
4586
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4587
 
4588
  * build.pl
4589
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4590
 
4591
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4592
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4593
 
4594
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4595
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4596
    build.
4597
 
4598
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4599
 
4600
  * Tool: escrow
4601
     New features
4602
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4603
     are not in the SBOM.
4604
 
4605
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4606
 
4607
     Specify packages to be ignored.
4608

4611
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
4612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4613
Major changes:
4614
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4615
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4616
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4617
 
4618
  * GenerateFiles
4619
    Added the options:
4620
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4621
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4622
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4623
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4624
 
4625
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4626
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4627
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4628
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4629
                                  required.
4630
 
4631
 
4632
Minor changes:
4633
  * GenerateFile directive
4634
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4635
 
4636
  * GCC Toolset
4637
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4638
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4639
    be rebuilt.
4640
 
4641
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4642
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4643
 
4644
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4645
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4646
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4647
Major changes:
4648
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4649
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4650
    environment variables.
4651
 
4652
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4653
            moved.
4654
 
4655
    This will affect users that:
4656
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4657
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4658
 
4659
        2) Use the ABT system
4660
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4661
           the required configuration
4662
 
4663
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4664
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4665
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4666
    Windows
4667
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
4668
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
4669
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
5710 dpurdie 4670
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 4671
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
4672
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
4673
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
5710 dpurdie 4674
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 4675
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4676
 
4677
 
4678
  * New build platforms
4679
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4680
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4681
 
4682
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4683
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4684
 
4685
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4686
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4687
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4688
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4689
 
4690
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4691
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4692
    release.
4693
 
4694
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4695
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4696
 
4697
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4698
    need to be converted.
4699
 
4700
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4701
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4702
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4703
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4704
    used for different targets platforms.
4705
 
4706
  * Sandbox support
4707
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4708
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4709
 
4710
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4711
 
4712
Minor changes:
4713
 
4714
 
4715
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4716
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4717
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4718
Major changes:
4719
  * MakeAnt directive
4720
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4721
 
4722
    New options
4723
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4724
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4725
 
4726
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4727
    run_unit_tests phase.
4728
 
4729
  * Sandbox support
4730
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4731
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4732
 
4733
Minor changes:
4734
  * jats build
4735
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4736
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4737
 
4738
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4739
 
4740
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4741
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4742
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4743
 
4744
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4745
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4746
 
4747
  * JATS.BAT
4748
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4749
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4750
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4751
 
4752
  * jats label
4753
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4754
 
4755
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4756
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4757
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4758
Major changes:
4759
  * New build platform:
4760
        LMOS_TP5600
4761
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4762
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4763
 
4764
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4765
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4766
    describe the group of platforms.
4767
 
4768
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4769
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4770
    build these targets.
4771
 
4772
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4773
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4774
 
4775
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4776
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4777
 
4778
  * New build platform: WINCE
4779
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4780
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4781
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4782
 
4783
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4784
            WCEIT3000
4785
            WCEPA961
4786
            WCEPA962
4787
            WCEPCM7220
4788
            WCEPSION_420
4789
            WCEPSPC_arm
4790
            WCEPSPC_emu
4791
            WCEX86A420
4792
            WCEX86A500
4793
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4794
 
4795
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4796
 
4797
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4798
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4799
    that contain packaging directives.
4800
 
4801
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4802
    very unusual configurations.
4803
 
4804
Minor changes:
4805
  * Directive: PackageFile
4806
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4807
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4808
    an '='.
4809
 
4810
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4811
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4812
 
4813
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4814
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4815
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4816
 
4817
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4818
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4819
 
4820
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4821
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4822
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4823
Major changes:
4824
 
4825
  * JATS release command
4826
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4827
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4828
 
4829
    Rules are:
4830
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4831
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4832
                            File will be placed on a branch
4833
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4834
                            New directory will branch
4835
 
4836
Minor changes:
4837
  * JATS release command
4838
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4839
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4840
 
4841
  * JATS label command
4842
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4843
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4844
 
4845
  * JATS make
4846
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4847
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4848
    was re-packaged.
4849
 
4850
  * JATS escrow
4851
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4852
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4853
 
4854
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4855
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4856
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4857
 
4858
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4859
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4860
    interface directory.
4861
 
4862
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4863
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4864
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4865
    directory as seen by the package.
4866
 
4867
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4868
 
4869
  * JAVA 6
4870
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4871
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4872
 
4873
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4874
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4875
 
4876
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4877
 
4878
  * Jats command: vars
4879
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4880
    These indicate potential problems.
4881
 
4882
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4883
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4884
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4885
Major changes:
4886
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4887
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4888
    libarry is also created.
4889
 
4890
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4891
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4892
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4893
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4894
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4895
    information contained within the file.
4896
 
4897
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4898
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4899
 
4900
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4901
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4902
 
4903
  * Building Perl Modules
4904
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4905
    documentation on the build machine.
4906
 
4907
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4908
 
4909
Minor changes:
4910
  * jats create_dpkg
4911
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4912
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4913
 
4914
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4915
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4916
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4917
Major changes:
4918
  * JATS JAVA build target
4919
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4920
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4921
 
4922
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4923
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4924
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4925
    is then picked up as the default version.
4926
 
4927
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4928
    build.pl file.
4929
 
4930
Minor changes:
4931
  * jats release
4932
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4933
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4934
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4935
 
4936
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4937
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4938
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4939
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4940
    the name of the view.
4941
 
4942
  * GenerateFiles directive
4943
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4944
 
4945
  * MOS Toolset
4946
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4947
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4948
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4949
 
4950
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4951
 
4952
 
4953
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4954
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4955
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4956
Major changes:
4957
 
4958
Minor changes:
4959
  * JATS environment
4960
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4961
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4962
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4963
 
4964
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4965
 
4966
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4967
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4968
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4969
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4970
    to be packaged.
4971
 
4972
  * Generated makefiles
4973
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4974
 
4975
  * Generating MOS THX files
4976
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4977
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4978
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4979
 
4980
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4981
 
4982
  * JATS release
4983
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4984
 
4985
  * JATS extract
4986
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4987
 
4988
  * JATS Toolset
4989
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4990
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK

Major changes:
4997
 
4998
Minor changes:
4999
  * jats label
5000
    Added a -vob=name option
5001
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5002
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5003
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5004
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5005
 
5006
    Added a -user=name option
5007
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5008
    label to the named user.
5009
 
5010
  * jats release
5011
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5012
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5013
 
5014
  * JATS build.pl
5015
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5016
    ie:
5017
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

5021
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5022
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5023
Major changes:
5024
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5025
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5026
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5027
    the makefile internals. ie:
5028
        --Var(BuildName)
5029
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5030
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5031
 
5032
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5033
 
5034
  * GenerateFiles
5035
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5036
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5037
 
5038
  * BuildPlatforms
5039
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5040
 
5041
Minor changes:
5042
  * GCC Toolset
5043
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5044
 
5045
Internal changes:
5046
  * GenerateFiles
5047
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5048
 
5049
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5050
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5051
 
5052
 
5053
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5054
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5055
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5056
Major changes:
5057
  * Caching JATS
5058
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5059
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5060
 
5061
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5062
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5063
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5064
 
5065
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5066
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5067
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5068
 
5069
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5070
 
5071
Minor changes:
5072
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5073
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5074
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5075
 
5076
  * jats build
5077
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5078
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5079
    processed by the build.
5080
 
5081
  * jats build
5082
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5083
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5084
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5085
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5086
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5087
 
5088
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5089
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5090
    Path is not specified.
5091
 
5092
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5093
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5094
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5095
        --Dir=$Pinc
5096
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5097
 
5098
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5099
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5100
    Windows platform.
5101
 
5102
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5103
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5104
            by 'purecov.
5105
 
5106
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5107
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5108
 
5109
        - OPTIONS=purify
5110
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5111
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5112
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5113

5117
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5118
Major changes:
5119
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5120
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5121
    Example:
5122
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5123
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5124
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5125
 
5126
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5127
    been determined.
5128
 
5129
Minor changes:
5130
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5131
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5132
    located at build-time.
5133
 
5134
  * Unix based systems
5135
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5136
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5137
 
5138
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5139
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5140
    driver being built.

5155
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5156
 
5157

5158
    dependancy information within a package.
5159
 
5160
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5161
    messages.

5173
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5174
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5175
                      be run on every invocation.
5176
 
5177
 
5178

  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5184
  There are two mechanism:
5185
 
5186
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5187
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5188
 
5189
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5190
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5191
 
5192

  * SunWorks Toolset
5202
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5203
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5204
    It is based on machine type.
5205
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5206

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5237
 
5238
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5239
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5240
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5241
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5242
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5243
 
5244
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5245
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS

5312
    Theses are:
5313
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5314
        SOLARIS_AMD
5315
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The

  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5337
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5338
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5339
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.

5357
 
5358
  * JATS BIN directories
5359
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5360
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5361
    using autoconf.
5362
 
5363
  * Generate directive
5364
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5365
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5366
 
5367
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.

Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5382
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5383
Major changes:
5384
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5385
    Initial release.
5386
 
5387
  * Packaging directives
5388
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5389
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5390
 
5391
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5392
        SOLARIS
5393
        WIN32
5394
 
5395
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5396
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5397
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5398
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5399
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5400
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5401
 
5402
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5403
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5404
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5405
 
5406
 
5407
Minor changes:
5408
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5409
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5410
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5411
 
5412
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5413
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5414
    location
5415
 
5416
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5417
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5418
 
5419
  * Utility genrc
5420
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5421
 
5422
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5423
    Added option: -new
5424
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5425
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5426
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5427
 
5428
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5429
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5430
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5431
 
5432
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5433
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5434
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5435
 
5436
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5437
   features - in a uniform manner.
5438
 
5439
 
5440
Internal Changes:
5441
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5442
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5443
 
5444
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5445
        1) Platform information available at build time
5446
        2) Dynamic platform names
5447
 
5448
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5449
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5450
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5451
 
5452
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5453
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5454
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5455
 
5456
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5457
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5458
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5459
    needed.
5460
 
5461
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5462
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5463
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5464
    files from all of these.
5465

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5467
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
5468
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5469
Major changes:
5470
 
5471
Minor changes:
5472
  * WinCE toolset
5473
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
5474
 
5475
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5476
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5477
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5478
Major changes:
5479
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5480
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5481
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5482
 
5483
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5484
 
5485
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5486
    the operations.
5487
 
5488
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5489
 
5490
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5491
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5492
 
5493
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5494
 
5495
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5496
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5497
 
5498
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5499
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5500
    Extended the built-in help
5501
    Added useful error messages
5502
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5503
 
5504
  * WinCE toolset
5505
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5506
 
5507
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5508
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5509
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5510
 
5511
Minor changes:
5512
  * JATS wrapper script
5513
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5514
    the command line.
5515
 
5516
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5517
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5518
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5519
 
5520
Internal Changes:
5521
  * Common Error Reporting
5522
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5523
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5524
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5525
    level.
5526
 
5527
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5528
    displayed.
5529
 
5530
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5531
 
5532
  * Added JatsSystem module
5533
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5534
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5535
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
5536
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5537
Major changes:
5538
 
5539
Minor changes:
5540
  * BR Compiler toolset
5541
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5542
    .def files to include other files.
5543
 
5544
  * IAR toolset
5545
    Added AT7272 support
5546
 
5547
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5548
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5549
 
5550
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5551
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
5552
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5553
Major changes:
5554
 
5555
Minor changes:
5556
  * BR Compiler toolset
5557
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5558
    use.
5559
 
5560
 
5561
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5562
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5563
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5564
Major changes:
5565
 
5566
Minor changes:
5567
  * Mictotec toolset
5568
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5569
    builds.
5570
 
5571
  * JATS Core
5572
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5573
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5574
    behaviour.
5575
 
5576
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5577
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5578
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5579
Major changes:
5580
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5581
    Deployment package will be affected.
5582
 
5583
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5584
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5585
 
5586
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5587
 
5588
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5589
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5590
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5591
    packages.
5592
 
5593
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5594
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5595
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5596
 
5597
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5598
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5599
 
5600
Minor changes:
5601
  * SubDir directive
5602
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5603
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5604
 
5605
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5606
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5607
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5608
    of the file usage.
5609
 
5610
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5611
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5612
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5613
 
5614
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5615
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5616
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5617
 
5618
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5619
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5620
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5621
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5622
 
5623
 
5624
Internal Changes:
5625
  * Code refactor
5626
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5627
 
5628
  * Deployment utilities
5629
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5630
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5631
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5632
    the module can locate the file.
5633
 
5634
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5635
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5636
 
5637
  * JATS core
5638
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5639
 
5640
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5641
 
5642
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5643
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5644
    through the use of environment variables.
5645
 
5646
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5647
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5648
 
5649
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5650
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5651
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5652
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5653
 
5654
  * Make environment
5655
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5656
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5657
 
5658
 
5659
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5660
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5662
Major changes:
5663
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5664
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5665
 
5666
 
5667
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5668
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5669
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5670
 
5671
Not Released.
5672
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5673
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5674
 
5675
 
5676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5677
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5679
Major changes:
5680
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5681
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5682
    radically replaced.
5683
 
5684
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5685
    Usage:
5686
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5687
 
5688
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5689
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5690
    this solution:
5691
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5692
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5693
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5694
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5695
 
5696
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5697
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5698
    order to work.
5699
 
5700
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5701
    reduced functionality.
5702
 
5703
 
5704
Minor changes:
5705
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5706
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5707
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5708
 
5709
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5710
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5711
    within the makefiles.
5712
        Options:
5713
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5714
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5715
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5716
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5717
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5718
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5719
        Useage:
5720
 
5721
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5722
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5723
 
5724
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5725
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5726
    is not in the current directory.
5727
 
5728
  * Jats Command: ant'
5729
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5730
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5731
 
5732
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5733
 
5734
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5735
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5736
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5737
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5738
 
5739
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5740
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5741
    Thus
5742
 
5743
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5744
 
5745
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5746
 
5747
 
5748
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5749
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5750
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5751
Major changes:
5752
 
5753
Minor changes:
5754
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5755
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5756
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5757
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5758
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5759
 
5760
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5761
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5762
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5763
 
5764
Internal changes:
5765
  * JATS toolsets
5766
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5767
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5768
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5769
 
5770
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5771
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5772
 
5773
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5774
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5775
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5776
Major changes:
5777
  * Jats command: etool
5778
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5779
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5780
 
5781
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5782
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5783
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5784
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5785
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5786
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5787
 
5788
Minor changes:
5789
 
5790
 
5791
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5792
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5794
Major changes:
5795
  * JATS environment variables
5796
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5797
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5798
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5799
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5800
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5801
 
5802
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5803
              Remote repository
5804
 
5805
    Added GBE_DPLY
5806
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5807
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5808
 
5809
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5810
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5811
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5812
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5813
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5814
 
5815
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5816
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5817
 
5818
 
5819
Minor changes:
5820
  * JATS utility: build
5821
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5822
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5823
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5824
 
5825
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5826
    Ensure label is not locked
5827
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5828
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5829
 
5830
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5831
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5832
    to a specific type of build.
5833
 
5834
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5835
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5836
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5837
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5838
 
5839
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5840
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5841
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5842
 
5843
  * JATS utility: release
5844
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5845
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5846
 
5847
  * JATS utility: label
5848
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5849
    when it is being created.
5850
 
5851
Internal Changes
5852
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5853
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5854
 
5855
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5856
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5857
 
5858
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5859
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5860
    different results.
5861
 
5862
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5863
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5864
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5865
 
5866
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5867
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5868
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5869
Major changes:
5870
 
5871
  * MCR toolset
5872
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5873
 
5874
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5875
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5876
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5877
Major changes:
5878
  * WIN32 utilities
5879
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5880
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5881
 
5882
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5883
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5884
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5885
 
5886
Minor changes:
5887
  * BuildVersion
5888
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5889
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5890
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5891
 
5892
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5893
 
5894
  * Unix Builds
5895
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5896
    library or a shared library.
5897
 
5898
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5899
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5900
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5901
    start with 'lib'.
5902
 
5903
  * BuildPkgArchive
5904
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5905
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5906
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5907
 
5908
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5909
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5910
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5911
Major changes:
5912
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5913
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5914
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5915
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5916
    being manually maintained.
5917
 
5918
 
5919
Minor changes:
5920
  * MakeAnt directive
5921
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5922
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5923
    supports ANT builds.
5924
 
5925
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5926
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5927
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5928
 
5929
  * Label utility
5930
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5931
    files to be labeled.
5932
 
5933
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5934
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5935
    on Solaris.
5936
 
5937
  * Generated makefiles
5938
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5939
    nothing.
5940
 
5941
  * MOS Toolset
5942
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5943
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5944
    modules.
5945
 
5946
  * Utility: gen_cots
5947
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5948
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5949
 
5950
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5951
 
5952
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5953
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5954
 
5955
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5956
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5957
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5958
Major changes:
5959
  None
5960
 
5961
Minor changes:
5962
  * DEVI addressed
5963
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 5964
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 5965
 
5966
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5967
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5968
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5969
 
5970
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5971
 
5972
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5973
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5974
 
5975
  * RunTest directive
5976
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5977
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5978
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5979
 
5980
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5981
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5982
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5983
    packaged under JATS
5984
 
5985
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5986
          supported within JATS.
5987
 
5988
  * Jats utility wrapper
5989
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5990
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5991
 
5992
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5993
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5994
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5995
 
5996
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5997
    Eg: jats ant
5998
 
5999
  * Jats utility wrapper
6000
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6001
 
5710 dpurdie 6002
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6003
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6004
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6005
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6006
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6007
 
5710 dpurdie 6008
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6009
    expect a build.pl file.
6010
 
6011
  * Jats utility wrapper
6012
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6013
 
6014
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6015
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6016
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6017
 
6018
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6019
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6020
 
6021
  * Build files
6022
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6023
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6024
 
6025
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6026
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6027
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6028
Major changes:
6029
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6030
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6031
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6032
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6033
 
6034
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6035
 
6036
Minor changes:
6037
  * None
6038
 
6039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6040
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6041
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6042
Major changes:
6043
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6044
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6045
    ie:
6046
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6047
 
6048
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6049
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6050
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6051
    environments are compatible.
6052
 
6053
 
6054
Minor changes:
6055
  * BuildName option
6056
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6057
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6058
 
6059
  * jats.bat
6060
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6061
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6062
 
6063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6064
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6065
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6066
Major changes:
6067
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6068
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6069
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6070
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6071
 
6072
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6073
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6074
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6075
 
6076
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6077
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6078
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6079
 
6080
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6081
    transferred.
6082
 
6083
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6084
    See notes below.
6085
 
6086
  * WIN32 toolset
6087
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6088
    correctly.
6089
 
6090
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6091
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6092
 
6093
  * BuildVersion
6094
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6095
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6096
    other langauges as needed.
6097
 
6098
 
6099
Minor changes:
6100
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6101
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6102
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6103
    version strings.
6104
 
6105
  * GenerateFiles directive
6106
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6107
    package or an imported package.
6108
 
6109
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6110
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6111
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6112
 
6113
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6114
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6115
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6116
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6117
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6118
 
6119
Internal Changes
6120
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6121
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6122
    of utilities.
6123
 
6124
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6125
    functions.
6126
 
6127
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6128
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6129
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6130
Major changes:
6131
  * Generated makefiles
6132
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6133
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6134
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6135
 
6136
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6137
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6138
    incorrectly processing:
6139
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6140
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6141
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6142
    confused.
6143
 
6144
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6145
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6146
    The construct
6147
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6148
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6149
    then it works.
6150
 
6151
  * MakeAnt directive
6152
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6153
 
6154
    This option has the following effects
6155
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6156
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6157
 
6158
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6159
           early - in the generated files phase.
6160
 
6161
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6162
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6163
 
6164
 
6165
Minor changes:
6166
  * JATS post-installation script
6167
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6168
 
6169
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6170
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6171
    windows.
6172
 
6173
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6174
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6175
 
6176
  * Jats wrapper script
6177
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6178
        1) Contain spaces
6179
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6180
 
6181
  * Toolset
6182
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6183
 
6184
  * JAVA toolset
6185
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6186
    directive:
6187
 
6188
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6189
 
6190
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6191
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6192
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6193
 
6194
  * GCC Toolset
6195
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6196
 
6197
  * Makefile generation
6198
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6199
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6200
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6201
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6202
    package could not be used.
6203
 
6204
  * Unit Tests
6205
    The following environment variables are set:
6206
 
6207
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6208
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6209
 
6210
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6211
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6212
 
6213
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6214
 
6215
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6216
 
6217
 
6218

Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6220
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6221
Major changes:
6222
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6223
 
6224
    Special features of this toolset.
6225
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6226
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6227
       incorporated within the target image.
6228
 
6229
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6230
       --Set=Name=Value
6231
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6232
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6233
 
6234
       --Ref=name
6235
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6236
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6237
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6238
                will be taken from the build version number.
6239
 
6240
Minor changes:
6241
  * MOS Toolset
6242
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6243
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6244
    packaged.
6245
 
6246
  * Src directive
6247
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6248
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6249
    specifier.
6250
 
6251
  * WIN32 runtime support
6252
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6253
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6254
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6255
 
6256
Internal:
6257
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6258
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6259
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6260

6262
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6263
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6264
Major changes:
6265
    * BuildAlias directive
6266
      Added options.
6267
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6268
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6269
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6270
                          targets.
6271
      Eg:
6272
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6273
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6274
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6275
 
6276
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6277
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6278
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6279
 
6280
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6281
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6282
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6283
 
6284
 
6285
Minor changes:
6286
  * Label utility
6287
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6288
    build.pl file
6289
 
6290
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6291
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6292
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6293
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6294
    --FilterIn option.
6295
 
6296
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6297
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6298
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6299
 
6300
  * Location of descpkg file
6301
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6302
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6303
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6304
 
6305
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6306
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6307
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6308
Major changes:
6309
  * RunTest directive
6310
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6311
    Additional options
6312
      --CopyIn=file
6313
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6314
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6315
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6316
        the test area.
6317
 
6318
    Additional operations
6319
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6320
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6321
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6322
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6323
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6324
    Allows flags:
6325
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6326
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6327
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6328
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6329
 
6330
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6331
    existence is tested.
6332
 
6333
  * Packaging Directives
6334
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6335
    such as LMOS.
6336
 
6337
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6338
 
6339
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6340
 
6341
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6342
 
6343
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6344
 
6345
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6346
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6347
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6348
 
6349
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6350
 
6351
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6352
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6353
 
6354
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6355
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6356
 
6357
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6358
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6359
 
6360
Minor changes:
6361
  * Script directive
6362
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6363
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6364
 
6365
  * JATS environment
6366
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6367
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6368
    the JATS wrapper script.
6369
 
6370
  * Label utility
6371
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6372
    There are three modes of operation:
6373
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6374
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6375
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6376

6379
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6380
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6381
Major changes:
6382
 
6383
Minor changes:
6384
  * label utility
6385
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6386
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6387
 
6388
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6389
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6390
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6391
      --ProgLoader=name
6392
 
6393
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6394
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6395
    Options to do this are:
6396
        --TreeDir=name
6397
        --FilterOut=regexp
6398
        --FilterIn=regexp
6399
        --StripDir
6400
 
6401
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6402
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6403
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6404
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6405
 
6406
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6407
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6408
 
6409
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6410
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6411
 
6412
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6413
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6414
 
6415
 
6416
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6417
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6418
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6419
Major changes:
6420
    * Make commands
6421
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6422
 
6423
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6424
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6425
 
6426
    * Label utility
6427
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6428
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6429
 
6430
Minor changes:
6431
    * Toolsets
6432
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6433
      variables and overrides.
6434
 
6435
      The make_init target is always run.
6436
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6437
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6438
 
6439
    * Deployment
6440
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6441
      with deployment operations.
6442
 
6443
    * Release utility
6444
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6445
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6446
      restricted by options within the build.
6447
 
6448
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6449
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6450
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6451
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6452
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6453
 
6454
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6455
      directives.
6456
 
6457
    * MakeProject directive
6458
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6459
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6460
 
6461
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6462
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6463
      is preserved.
6464
 
6465
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6466
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6467
      statements.
6468
 
6469
    * Mugfile generation
6470
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6471
      be placed in the target package.
6472
 
6473
 
6474
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6475
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6476
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6477
Major changes:
6478
    * BuildVersion directive
6479
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6480
      number as well as a patch number.
6481
 
6482
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6483
      number.
6484
 
6485
Minor changes:
6486
    * AddFlags directives
6487
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6488
      duplicate flags being added.
6489
 
6490
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6491
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6492
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6493
 
6494
    * Mug File Generation
6495
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6496
 
6497
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6498
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6499
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6500
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6501
     directory.
6502
 
6503
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6504
     reproducible.
6505

6507
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6508
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6509
Major changes:
6510
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6511
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6512
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6513
      longer a list of directories.
6514
 
6515
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6516
      done within the toolset.
6517
 
6518
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6519
 
6520
    * JATS environment variables
6521
      Redefined variable
6522
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6523
                          Previously was a list that included the
6524
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6525
 
6526
      New variable
6527
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6528
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6529
 
6530
 
6531
Minor changes:
6532
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6533
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6534
      target platforms to be extracted.
6535
 
6536
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6537
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6538
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6539
 
6540
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6541
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6542
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6543
 
6544
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6545
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6546
 
6547
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6548
      Support ANT based XML files
6549
 
6550
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6551
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6552
      structure.
6553
 
6554
    * makefile.pl's
6555
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6556
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6557
 
6558
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6559
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6560
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6561
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6562
 
6563
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6564
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6565
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6566
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6567
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6568
      -- Auto.
6569
 
6570
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6571
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6572
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6573
 
6574
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6575
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6576
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6577
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6578
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6579
 
6580
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6581
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6582
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6583
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6584
      installed on the machine.
6585
 
6586
    * WINCE Targets
6587
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6588
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6589
 
6590
 
6591
 
6592
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6593
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6594
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6595
Major changes:
6596
    * WIN32 platforms
6597
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6598
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6599
      and installed packages.
6600
 
6601
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6602
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6603
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6604
 
6605
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6606
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6607
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6608
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6609
      searched when looking for libraries.
6610
 
6611
Minor changes:
6612
    * GenerateFiles directive
6613
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6614
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6615
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6616
                          and drive letter
6617
 
6618
    * Src directive
6619
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6620
      directory of a package.
6621
 
6622
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6623
 
6624
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6625
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6626
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6627
 
6628
    * jats_rewrite utility
6629
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6630
 
6631

Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6635
Major changes:
6636
    * SunWorks production builds
6637
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6638
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6639
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6640
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6641
      compiler documentation.
6642
 
6643
    * MOS Toolset
6644
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6645
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6646
 
6647
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6648
 
6649
Minor changes:
6650
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6651
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6652
      This should not affect current users.
6653
 
6654
    * Mugfile generation
6655
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6656
      specified.
6657
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6658
 
6659

6660
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6662
Major changes:
6663
    MOS Toolset
6664
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6665
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6666
 
6667
Minor changes:
6668
    * Jats wrapper script
6669
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6670
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6671
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6672
 
6673
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6674
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6675
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6676
      may be suspect.
6677
 
6678
    * GenerateFiles directive
6679
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6680
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6681
 
6682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6683
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6684
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6685
Major changes:
6686
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6687
      build.xml files.
6688
 
6689
Minor changes:
6690
    * WIN32 toolset.
6691
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6692
 
6693
    * MakeAnt
6694
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6695
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6696
 
6697
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6698
 
6699
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6700
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6701
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6702
 
6703
    * MakeAnt directive
6704
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6705
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6706
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6707
 
6708
      Recommended usage:
6709
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6710
 
6711
Internal Changes
6712
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6717
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6718
Major changes:
6719
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6720
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6721
      files packaged into the release.
6722
 
6723
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6724

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6727
 
6728
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6729
      The recommended platform is:
6730
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6731
 
6732
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6733
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6734
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6735
      components.
6736
 
6737
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

6741
 
6742
Minor changes:
6743
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6744
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6745
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6746
      by the package to be accessed.
6747
 
6748
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6749
      application or visual studio.
6750
 
6751
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6752
      and the JATS Core path.
6753
 
6754
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6755
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6756
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6757
 
6758
    * MOS Toolset
6759
      Add support for the TPT device
6760
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6761
 
6762
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6763
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6764
 
6765
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6766
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6767
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6768
 
6769
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6770
 
6771
Internal Changes
6772
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6773
      in jats.pl
6774
 
6775
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6776
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6778
Major changes:
6779
    * JATS wrapper script
6780
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6781
 
6782
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6783
 
6784
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6785
 
6786
Minor changes:
6787
    * Deployment support
6788
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6789
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6790
 
6791
    * 'build'
6792
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6793
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6794
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6795
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6796
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6797
 
6798
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6799
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6800
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6801
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6802
                                      the link phase.
6803
 
6804
    * BuildPkgArchive
6805
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6806
      Previously these were ignored.
6807
      Minor code cleanup
6808
 
6809
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6810
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6811
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6812
 
6813
    * SOLARIS targets
6814
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6815
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6816
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6817
 
6818
    * MugFile generation
6819
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6820
      included in the final package.
6821
 
6822
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6823
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6824
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6825
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6826
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6827
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6828
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6829
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6830
 
6831
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6832
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6833
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6834
            --Option=(some_text)
6835
            --Option=[some_text]
6836
            --Option={some_text}
6837
 
6838
Internal Changes
6839
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6840
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6841
      code.
6842
 
6843

6844
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6845
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6846
Major changes:
6847
    * JATS wrapper script
6848
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6849
 
6850
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6851
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6852
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6853
      other components.
6854
 
6855
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6856
 
6857
    * JATS
6858
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6859
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6860
 
6861
    * Build operations
6862
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6863
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6864
      packages.
6865
 
6866
    * Make operations
6867
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6868
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6869
 
6870
Minor changes:
6871
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6872
      deployment builds.
6873
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6874
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6875
 
6876
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6877
 
6878
    * build.pl
6879
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6880
        processed. Allows
6881
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6882
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6883
        production.
6884
 
6885
    * MOS toolset
6886
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6887
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6888
 
6889
    * create_dpkg utility
6890
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6891
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6892
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6893
      progress of the build.
6894
 
6895
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6896
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6897
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6898
      system.
6899

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6903
Major changes:
6904
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6905
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6906
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6907
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6908
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6909
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6910
 
6911
    * WCEX86A500 target
6912
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6913
 
6914
    * MOS Toolsets
6915
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6916
      the compiler.
6917
 
6918
    * RunTest directive
6919
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6920
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6921
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6922
 
6923
Minor changes:
6924
    * JATS BUILD
6925
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6926
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6927
      highlight bad settings.
6928
 
6929
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6930
      access to extensions.
6931
 
6932

        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6948
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6949
 
6950
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6951
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6952
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6953
      Package directives.
6954
 
6955
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6956
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6957
      system.
6958
 
6959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6960
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6961
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6962
Major changes:
6963
    * MOS Toolset
6964
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6965
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6966
 
6967
    * WIN32 Toolset
6968
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6969
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6970
      list.
6971
 
6972
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6973
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6974
 
6975
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6976
 
6977
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6978
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6979
 
6980
 
6981
Minor changes:
6982
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6983
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6984
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6985
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6986
      corrected.
6987
 
6988
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6989
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6990
 
6991
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6992
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6993
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6994

      use with multithreaded modes.
7002
 
7003
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7004
      --OnlyProd.
7005
 
7006
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7007
      within the makefile.pl.
7008
 
7009
Minor changes:
7010
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7011
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7012
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7013
      platforms.
7014
 
7015
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7016

7018
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7019
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7020
Major changes:
7021
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7022
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7023
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7024
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7025
 
7026
    * Preliminary Support
7027
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7028
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7029
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7030
 
7031
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7032
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7033
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7034
 
7035
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7036
      building. The default build will build both.
7037
 
7038
Minor changes:
7039
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7040
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7041
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7042
 
7043
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7044
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7045
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7046
 
7047
 
7048

7049
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7050
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7051
Major changes:
7052
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7053
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7054
      or all.
7055
 
7056
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7057
      the library or program.
7058
 
7059
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7060
 
7061
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7062
      library or any debug files.
7063
 
7064
    * GenerateFiles
7065
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7066
 
7067
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7068
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7069
 
7070
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7071
              The filename of the prereq file
7072
 
7073
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7074
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7075
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7076
 
7077
 
7078
Minor changes:
7079
    * create_dpkg utility
7080
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7081
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7082
      the package has been altered.
7083

7087
Major changes:
7088
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7089
      This is a WINCE target
7090
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7091
 
7092
    * New toolset
7093
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7094
 
7095
    * Modified toolset
7096
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7097
 
7098
    * Modified toolset
7099
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7100
 
7101
Minor changes:
7102
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7103
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7104
 
7105
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7106
 
7107
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7108
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7109
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7110
 
7111
      The change allows the construct
7112
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7113
      to be replaced by the simpler
7114
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7115
 
7116
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7117
      specified name.    
7118

7137
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7138
Major changes:
7139
    * The "package.pl" file.
7140
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7141
      package name being taken from the build name
7142
 
7143
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7144
      package Build Name.
7145
 
7146
Minor changes:
7147
    * create_dpkg utility
7148
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7149
 
7150

7153
Major changes:
7154
 
7155
Minor changes:
7156
    * Dependancy generator
7157
      Correct two common situations
7158
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7159
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7160
           ansi, but is often done.
7161
 
7162
    * GCC toolset
7163
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7164
      being created in the correct place.
7165
 
7166
    * jats "label"
7167
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7168
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7169
 
7170

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7172
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7174
Major changes:
7175
 
7176
Minor changes:
7177
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7178
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7179
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7180
 
7181
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7182
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7183
 
7184
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7185
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7186
      package was not being transferred.
7187
 
7188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7189
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7191
Major changes:
7192
    * Support for solaris_i386
7193
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7194
      binaries for this target.
7195
 
7196
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7197
      with the GCC compiler.
7198
 
7199
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7200
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7201
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7202
 
7203
Minor changes:
7204
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7205
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7206
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7207
 
7208
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7209
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7210
 
7211
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7212
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7213
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7214
Major changes:
7215
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7216
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7217
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7218
 
7219
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7220
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7221
 
7222
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7223
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7224
      with either " or ' characters.
7225
 
7226
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7227
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7228
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7229
 
7230
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7231
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7232
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7233
 
7234
    * Jats wrapper
7235
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7236
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7237
      further commands.
7238
 
7239
Minor changes:
7240
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7241
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7242
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7243
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7244
 
7245
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7246
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7247
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7248
Major changes:
7249
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7250
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7251
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7252
 
7253
      These options operation affect all components within the
7254
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7255
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7256
 
7257
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7258
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7259
 
7260
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7263
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7265
Major changes:
7266
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7267
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7268
 
7269
Minor changes:
7270
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7271
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7272
 
7273
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7274
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7275
 
7276
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7277
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7278
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7279
Major changes:
7280
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7281
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7282
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7283
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7284
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7285
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7286
      installed.
7287
 
7288
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7289
      libraries that depend on each other.
7290
 
7291
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7292
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7293
 
7294
Minor changes:
7295
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7296
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7297
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7298
 
7299
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7300
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7301
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7302
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7303
 
7304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7305
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7306
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7307
Major changes:
7308
 
7309
Minor changes:
7310
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7311
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7312
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7313
      file.
7314
 
7315
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7316
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7317
 
7318
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7319
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7320
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7321
 
7322
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7323
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7324
 
7325
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7326
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7327
 
7328
    * WinCE toolsets
7329
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7330
      compiler specific libraries.
7331
 
7332
    * SOLARIS toolset
7333
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7334
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7335
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7336
 
7337
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7338
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7339
      cleaned up.
7340
 
7341
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7342
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7343
 
7344
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7345
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7346
      with either " or ' characters.
7347

7351
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7352
Major changes:
7353
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7354
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7355
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7356
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7357
 
7358
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7359
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7360
 
7361
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7362
      user.
7363
 
7364
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7365
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7366
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7367
 
7368
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7369
      for the   -Gf option.
7370
 
7371
Minor changes:
7372
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7373
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7374
 
7375
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7376
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7377
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7378
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7379

    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7385
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7386
 
7387
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7388
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7389
      data addresses for the board.
7390
 
7391
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7392
 
7393
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7394
 
7395
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7396
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7397
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7398
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7399
         PackageFile

7401
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7402
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7403
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7404
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7405
 
7406
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7407
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7408
      to be installed and packaged.
7409
 
7410
Minor changes:
7411
 
7412
    * cache_dpkg utility
7413
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7414
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7415
 
7416
    * label utility
7417
      New option -auto to create and label
7418
 
7419
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7420
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7421
 
7422
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7423
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7424
      directory. ie:
7425
 
7426
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7427
 
7428
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7429
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7430
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.

7434
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7435
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7436
Major changes:
7437
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7438
 
7439
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7440
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7441
 
7442
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7443
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7444
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7445
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7446
 
7447
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7448
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7449
      compilation.
7450
 
7451
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7452
 
7453
Minor changes:
7454
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7455
      one is being produced.
7456
 
7457
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7458
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7459
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7460
 
7461
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7462
 
7463
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7464
 
7465
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7466
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7467
 
7468
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7469
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7470
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7471
Major changes:
7472
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7473
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7474
 
7475
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7476
 
7477
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7478
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7479
      same directory
7480
 
7481
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7482
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7483
      documenattion.
7484
 
7485
Minor changes:
7486
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7487
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7488
 
7489
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7490
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7491
 
7492
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7493
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7494
 
7495
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7496
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7497
 
7498
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7499
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7500
      be exempt from this test.
7501
 
7502
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7503
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7504
 
7505
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7506
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7507
 
7508
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7509
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7510
      does.
7511
 
7512
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7513
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7514
 
7515
 
7516
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7517
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7518
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7519
Major changes:
7520
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7521
 
7522
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7523
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7524
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7525
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7526
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7527
 
7528
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7529
      operations.
7530
 
7531
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7532
 
7533
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7534
 
7535
Minor changes
7536
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7537
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7538
 
7539
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7540
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7541
      directory is not added to the library path.
7542
 
7543
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7544
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7545
 
7546
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7547
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7548
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7549
 
7550
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7551
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7552
      specific flags.
7553
 
7554
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7555
 
7556
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7557
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7558
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7559
 
7560
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7561
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7562
      JATS.
7563
 
7564
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7565
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7566
 
7567
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7568
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7569
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7570
 
7571
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7572
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7573
 
7574
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7575
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7576
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7577
 
7578
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7579
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7580
 
7581
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7582
 
7583
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7584
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7585
 
7586
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7587
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7588
      objects.
7589
 
7590
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7591
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7592
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7593
      build defendants.
