Major changes:
478
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
479
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
480
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
481
 
482
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
483
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
484
      duplicates corrected.
485
 
486
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
487
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
488
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
489
 
490
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
491
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
492
      displayed at the end of the build process.

4728 dpurdie 663
      This build target is similar to UBUNTU12, except that it 
664
      generates instrumented code with gcov. The platform's unit tests 
665
      will create and maintain a set of lcov files.
666

684
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
685
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
686
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
687
 
688
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
689
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
690
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled

Minor changes:

    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
721
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
722
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
723
 
724
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
725
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
726
 
727
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh

      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1067
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1068
      Subversion instance of the command.
1069
 
1070
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1071
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1072
 
1073
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1074
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1075
 
1076
    * Utility: jats upddep
1077
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1078
      file under windows.
1079
 
1080
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1081
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1082
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1083
 
1084
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1085
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1086
 
1087
    * GCC Toolchain
1088
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

1104
Major changes:
1105
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1106
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1107
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1108
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1109
 
1110
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1111
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1121
Minor changes:
1122
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1123
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1124
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1125
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1126
      line.
1127
 
1128
    * Jats Configuration
1129
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1130
 
1131
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1132
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1133
      and Linux.
1134
 
1135
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1136
      correctly rippled.

Major changes:
1142
 
1143
Minor changes:
1144
    * Jats Core
1145
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1146
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1147
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1148
 
1149
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1150
      Used only by the build daemons.
1151
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1152
 
1153
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1154

1160
Major changes:
1161
 
1162
Minor changes:
1163
    * svnrelease utility
1164
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1165
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1166
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1167
 
1168
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1169
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1170
      the named tag.
1171
 
1172
    * svnrelease utility
1173
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1174
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1185
        covered by the makefile.
1186
 
1187
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1188
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1189
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1190
 
1191
    * ALL Toolsets
1192
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1193
 
1194
    * Utility vcsdiff
1195
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1196
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1197
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1207
      directory of the tag.
1208
 
1209
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1210
      repository.
1211
 
1212
    * Subversion Support
1213
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1214
      showing the user what to do.
1215
 
1216
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1217
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1218
      we have build support for this target.
1219
 
1220
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1221
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1222
 
1223
Internal:
1224
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1225
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1226
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1227
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Minor changes:
1244
    * Makefile generation
1245
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1246
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1247
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1248
      of warnings.
1249
 
1250
    * Makefile Generation
1251
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1260
Major changes:
1261
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1262
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1263
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1264
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1265
 
1266
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1267
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1268
      windows path scheme.
1269
 
1270
Minor changes:
1271
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1272
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1273
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1274
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1275
 
1276
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1277
        jats make clobber
1278
      This operates as before.
1279
 
1280
    * Utility: escrow
1281
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1282
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1283
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1284
 
1285
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1286
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1287
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1288
 
1289
    * Utility: svn : url
1290
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1291
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1292
 
1293
    * Utility: svn : import
1294
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1295
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1296
 
1297
    * Subversion Support
1298
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1299
      showing the user what to do.
1300
 
1301
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1302
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1303
      repositories.

1309
Minor changes:
1310
    * Jats build
1311
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1312
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1313
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1314
 
1315
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1316
      command, with a sandbox.

      Added two subcommands
1327
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1328
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1329
                 Can also display available branches.
1330
 
2054 dpurdie 1331
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

1337
 
1338
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1339
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1340
      Modified two options:
1341
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1342
                        The named branch must not exist
1343
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1344
                        The named branch must exist
1345
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
1354
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
1355
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
1356

Major changes:
1381
    * Jats Version Number
1382
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
1383
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
1384
      significantly.

1396
Major changes:
1397
    * Subversion support
1398
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
1399
      SubVersion. Changes include:
1400
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
1401
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1402
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1403
 
1404
Minor changes:
1405
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1406
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1407
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1408
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1409
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1410
 
1411
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1412
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1413
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1414
 
1415
    * Linux support utilities
1416
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
1417
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
1418
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

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

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1520

1547
Major changes:
1548
 
1549
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1550
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1551
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1552
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1553
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1554
 
1555
    * C# Toolchain
1556

1569
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1570
 
1571
    * Utility ccrelease
1572
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1573
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1574
 
1575
    * Utility: svn
1576
      Improved package import processing.
1577
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1605
Major changes:
1606
 
1607
Minor changes:
1608
    * Command: jats clobber
1609
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1610
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1611
 
1612
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1613
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1614
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1615
 
1616
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1617
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1618
 
377 dpurdie 1619
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1620
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1621
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1622
 
1623
    * jats svnlabel
1624
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1625
 
1626
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1627
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1628
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1629
 
1630
    * Built Daemon support
1631
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1632
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1633

373 dpurdie 1635
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
1636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1637
Major changes:
1638
    * GCC Toolset
1639
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1640
      New methodology is:
1641
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1642
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1643
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1644
        as the main binary.
1645
 
1646
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1647
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1648
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1649
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1650
      both worlds.
1651
 
1652
Minor changes:
1653
    * HTML Documentation
1654
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1655

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1664
Major changes:
1665
    * Jats Sandbox
1666
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1667
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1668
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1669
 
1670
    * RIORDS Platform
1671

      Platform is RIORDS. This uses the MSP430 toolchain.
369 dpurdie 1690
      Beta release of this toolchain
1691
 
1692
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1693
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
1694
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1695
 
1696
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1697
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1698
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1699
      a vob.
1700
 
1701
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

1729
 
1730

      viewtag, even if the view has been deleted from disk.
1734
 
1735
    * Jats startup
1736
      Jats will report an error if started in a directory that is inaccessible

1738
      in inaccessible directory.
1739

    * Makefile generation
1755
        Removed the use of the .rul file. Now generated in place.

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

        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2243
 
2244
    * Jats build
2245
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2246
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2247
      This is a very quick operation.
2248
 
2249
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2250
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2251
 
2252
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2253
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2254
      files are only recreated if need be.
2255
 
2256
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2257
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2258
      make the package.
2259
 
2260
    * Jats sandbox
2261
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2262
 
2263
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2264
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2265
 
2266
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2267
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2268
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2269
      is performed.
2270
 
2271
Internal:
2272
    * build.pl
2273
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2305
Major changes:
2306
 
2307
Minor changes:
2308
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2309
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2310
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2311
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2312
 
2313
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2314
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2315
 
2316
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2317
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2318
      platform builds.
2319
 
2320
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2321
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2322
      directory tree.
2323
 
2324
    * New command: jats man
2325
      Produces full help on a specified item.
2326
 
2327

323 dpurdie 2336
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
2337
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2338
Major changes:
2339
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2340
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2341
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2342
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2343
 
2344
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2345
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2346
 
2347
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2348
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2349
 
2350
      Examples:
2351
            jats upddep -show
2352
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2353
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2354
 
2355
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2356
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2357
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2358
 
2359
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2360
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2361
 
2362
Minor changes:
2363
 
2364
Internal changes:
2365
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
2366

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
2370
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2371
Major changes:
2372
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2373
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2374
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2375
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2376
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2377
      stream.
2378
 
2379
      Example:
2380
 
2381
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2382
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2383
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2384
                     );
2385
Minor changes:
2386
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2387
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2388
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2389
      directive.
2390
 
2391
    * GCC Toolkit
2392
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2393
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2394
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2395
      the point of termination.
2396
 
2397
    * Jats save_build utility
2398
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2399
      under windows.
2400
 
2401
    * Jats sandbox
2402
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2403
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2404
      in different sandboxes.
2405
 
2406
    * Jats release
2407
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2408

2414
Minor changes:
2415
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2416
      Added -locatedir=name
2417
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2418
      directory.
2419
 
2420
    * jats label utility
2421
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2422
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2423
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2424
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2425
 
2426
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2427

Major changes:
317 dpurdie 2432
 
2433
Minor changes:
2434
    * WinCe Toolsets
2435
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2436
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2437
        noExceptions            - Disable
2438
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2439
      Example:
2440
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2441
 
2442
    * Solaris targets
2443
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2444
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2445
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2446
      machine type.
2447

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
2450
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2451
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2452
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2453
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2454
      project files.
2455
 
2456
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2457
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2458
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2459
 
2460
Minor changes:
2461
    * Added more internal documentation
2462
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2463
 
2464
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2465
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2466
 
2467
    * Jats save_build utility
2468
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2469
      under windows.
2470
 
2471
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2472
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2473
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2474
      libraries.
2475
 
2476
    * Solaris builds
2477
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2478
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2479
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2480
      of the build failure.
2481
 
2482
 
2483
Internal changes:
2484
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2485
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2486
 
2487
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2488
      PkgArchive topics.

2492
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2493
Major changes:
2494
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2495
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2496
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2497
      existing 32-bit builds.
2498
 
2499
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
2500
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
2501
 
2502
Minor changes:
2503
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
2504
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2505
 
2506
    * Package searching
2507
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2508
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2509
 
2510
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2511
 
2512
    * jats help
2513
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2514
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2515
 
2516
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2517
      with one of:
2518
        jats -h
2519
        jats help jats
2520
 
2521
Internal:
2522
    * cmdfile utility
2523
      Added macros:
2524
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2525
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2526
 
2527
      Corrected
2528
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
2529
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
2530
 
2531
      Extended
2532
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2533
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2534
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2535
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

2544
Internal changes
2545
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2546
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2547
      Useful side effects include:
2548
 
2549
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2550
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2551
 
2552
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2553
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2554
 
2555
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2556
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2557
        BuildPkgArchive
2558
 
313 dpurdie 2559
    * Perl Modules
2560
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2561
      release. This will:
2562
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2563
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2564
          reported by ERG.
2565
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
2573
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2574
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2575
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2576
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2577
 
2578
    * Jats label utility
2579
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2580
 
2581
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2582
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2583
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2584
 
2585
    * Jats core
2586
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2587
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2588
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
2597
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2598
      This is now fixed.
2599
 
309 dpurdie 2600
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2601
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2602
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2603
 
2604
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2605

    * Generating makefiles
2614
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2615
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2616
      an error.
2617
 
2618
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2619
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2620
 
2621
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2628
Major changes:
2629
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2630
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2631
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2632
 
2633
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2634
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2635
 
2636
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2637
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2638
      Support includes
2639
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2640
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2641
 
2642
Minor changes:
2643
    * Build file processing
2644
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2645
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2646
 
2647
    * MOS builds
2648
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2649
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2650
 
2651
    * MOS builds
2652
      New 'known' product: PICP
2653
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2654
 
2655
    * GenerateFiles directive
2656
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2657
        under windows.
2658
 
2659
        .
2660
 
2661
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2662
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2663
 
2664
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2665
      to the output stream.
2666
 
2667
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2668
 
2669
    * Windows Shell
2670
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2671
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2672
 
2673
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2674
 
2675
    * H8S toolset
2676
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2677
 
2678
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2679
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2680
 
2681
Internal changes
2682
    * WinCe builds
2683
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2684
      content of the file.
2685
 
2686
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2687
 
2688
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2689
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

2700
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2701
Major changes:
2702
 
2703
Minor changes:
2704
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2705
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2706
      Changes are transparent to users.
2707
 
2708
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2709
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2710
      this occurs.
2711
 
2712
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2713
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2714
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2715
      automated build framework.
2716
 
2717
    * jats sandbox command
2718
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2719
      'create' command.
2720
 
2721
    * jats command aliases. Added
2722
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2723
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
2724

2727
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2728
Major changes:
2729
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2730
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2731
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2732
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2733
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2734
      will work as expected
2735
 
2736
Minor changes:
2737
    * VS2008 Toolset
2738
      Picking up incorrect config details
2739
      May result in a warning message.
2740
 
2741
    * gen_cots utility
2742
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2743
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2744
 
2745
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2746
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
2747
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

2793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2794
Major changes:
2795
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2796
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2797
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2798
 
2799
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2800
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2801
 
2802
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2803
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2804
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2805
           names cannot be changed.
2806
 
2807
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2808
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2809
 
2810
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2811
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2812
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2813
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2814
 
2815
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2816
      file.
2817
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2818
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2819
      MyPackage.dpk.
2820
 
2821
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2822
      file.
2823
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2824
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2825
      MyDll.dpr.
2826
 
2827
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2828
      file.
2829
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2830
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2831
      MyProg.dpr.
2832
 
2833
Minor changes:
2834
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2835
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2836
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2837
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2838
 
2839
    * BuildVersion directive
2840
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2841
      in a Delphi Unit.
2842
 
2843
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2844
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2845
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2846
      'know' the location of the files.
2847
 
2848
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2849
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2850
 
2851
Internal Changes:
2852
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2853
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2854
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2855
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2856
 
2857
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2858
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2859
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

287 dpurdie 2862
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2863
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2864
Major changes:
2865
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2866
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2867
      information for purely C++ builds.
2868
 
289 dpurdie 2869
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2870
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2871
 
289 dpurdie 2872
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2873
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2874
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2875
 
2876
Minor changes:
2877
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2878
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2879
 
2880
    * updatenodespec utility
2881
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2882
      Manager database.

2892
      Not completly fixed, but much better than before.
2893
 
2894
    * Escrow tool
2895
      Remove warning created during normal operation
2896
 
2897

283 dpurdie 2900
Version:  2.78.2000.cr                               Released: 05-Mar-09
2901
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2902
Major changes:
2903
    * New Platform: H400
2904
      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
2905
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
2906
 
2907
Minor changes:
2908
    * MergeLibrary directive
2909
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
2910
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
2911
 
2912
 
2913

2916
Major changes:
2917
 
2918
Minor changes:
2919
    * New command: jats make show
2920
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2921
      used in the build.
2922
 
2923
    * Escrow command
2924
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2925
 
2926
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2927
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2928
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2929
 
2930
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2931
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2932
 
2933
------------------------------------------------------------------------
279 dpurdie 2934
Version:  2.78.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Feb-09
277 dpurdie 2935
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2936
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2937
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2938
 
279 dpurdie 2939
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2940
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2941
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2942
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2943
 
2944
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2945
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2946
 
2947
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2948
 
2949
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2950
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2951
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2952
 
2953
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2954
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2955
        processed.
2956
 
2957
      Removed the '-delete' option
2958
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2959
 
277 dpurdie 2960
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2961
    * Sandbox command
2962
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2963
 
2964
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2965
      target from consideration in the build set.
2966
 
2967
    * MCR Toolset
2968
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2969
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2970
 
2971
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2972
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2973
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2974
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2975
 
2976
    * Jats run_test command
2977
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2978
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2979
 
2980
    * descpkg file
2981
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2982
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2983
 
2984
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2985
     Now contains build trace information
2986
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2987
 
2988
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2989
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2990
     it contains 'jar' files.
2991
 
2992
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2993
 
2994
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2995
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2996
 
2997
   * BuildVersion directive
2998
     Form:
2999
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3000
     now works as expected.
3001
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3002
 
3003
Internal Changes:
3004
 
3005
    * Error reporting mechanism
3006
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
3007
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
3008
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

3193
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3194
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3195
 
3196
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

3423
 
3424
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
3425
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3426
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3427
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3428
 
3429
Minor changes:
3430
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3431
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
3432
 
3433
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
3434
      some windows tools.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3439
Major changes:
3440
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
3441
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3442
 
3443
      New platforms:
3444
        CSHARP2005
3445
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3446
         Support extends to allow:
3447
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3448
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3449
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3450
 
3451
        VS2005
3452
         Support extends to allow:
3453
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3454
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3455
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3456
 
3457
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3458
      through a version selector:
3459
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3460
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3461
 
3462
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3463
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3464
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3465
 
3466
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3467
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3468
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3469
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3470
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3471
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3472
          under VS2005.
3473
 
3474
Minor changes:
3475
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
3476
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.

      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
3478
 
3479
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3480
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3481
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3482
 
3483
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3484
 
3485
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3486
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3487
 
3488
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3489
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3490
      a minimal value of perl.
3491
 
3492
      Removed excessive require statements.
3493
 
3494
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3495
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3496
      Include JATS specific files for
3497
        1) Windows
3498
        2) Linux
3499
 
3500
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3501
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3502
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3503
      machines.
3504
 
3505
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3506
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3507
 
3508
    * JATS Environment
3509
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3510
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3511
 
3512
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3513
      wrapper scripts.
3514
 
3515
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3516
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3517
      Spell check help and code.

3546
      was added.
3547
 
3548
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
3549
      reviewing a new package.
3550
 
3551
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3552
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are

3570
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3571
  * New toolset and platform
3572
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3573
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3574
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3575
    this platform.
3576
 
3577
Minor changes:
3578
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3579
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3580
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3581
    work.
3582
 
3583
  * Jats utility: release
3584
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3585
    published to dpkg_archive.
3586
 
249 dpurdie 3587
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3588
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3589
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3590
    supported for ANT builds.
3591
 
3592
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3593
        releasemanager.releasename
3594
        releasemanager.projectname
3595
 
3596
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3597
    tagged data item of the form
3598
 
3599
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3600
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3601
 
3602
  * Mug File Generation
3603
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3604
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3605
 
3606
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3607
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3608
    required.
3609
 
3610
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3611
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3612
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3613
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3614
    the files in order to use them.
3615
 
3616
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3617
    locate the file.
3618
 
3619
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3620
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3621
 
3622
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3623
        * CSharp
3624
        * Properties
3625
        * WinRC
3626
 
3627
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3628
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3629
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3630
    Value is correctly assigned.

3635
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3636
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3637
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3638
 
3639
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3640
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3641
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3642
 
3643
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3644
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3645
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3646
 
3647
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3648
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3649
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3650
 
3651
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3652
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3653
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3654
    correct.
3655
 
3656
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3657
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3658
 
3659
Minor changes:
3660
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3661
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3662
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3663
 
3664
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3665
    This will simplify new user setup.
3666
 
3667
  * All Unix Toolsets
3668
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3669
    on unix systems
3670
 
3671
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3672
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3673
    on some Solaris Machines.
3674
 
3675
  * JATS -version=<version>
3676
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3677
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3678

3725
    mode.
3726
 
3727
  * JATS makefiles
3728
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3729
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3730
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3731
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3732
                            SetList directive.
3733
 
3734

      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
3796
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
3797
      Previously only worked on Windows

    * New Toolset: BORLAND
3823
      The toolset uses the Borland C++ Builder 6 to build Borland Project
3824
      files via the MakeProject directive.

3832
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
3833
      that can handle spaces
3834
 
3835
    * MOS Compiler
3836
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3837
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3838
 
3839
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3840
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3841
      descpkg files to be copied.
3842
 
3843
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
3844
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3879
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3880
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3881
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3882
 
3883
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3884
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3885
 
3886
    * Jats wrapper
3887
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3888
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3889

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3893
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3894
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3895
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3896
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3897
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3898
 
3899
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3900
 
3901
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3902
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3903
 
3904
    * Running Jats
3905
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3906
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3907
      This may affect some windows developers.
3908
 
3909
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3910
      Future versions will generate an error.
3911
 
3912
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3913
 
3914
Minor changes:
3915
    * Perl Version Check
3916
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3917
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3918
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3919
 
3920
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3921
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3922
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3923
      build.
3924
 
3925
    * Jats Internals
3926
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3927
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3928
 
3929
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3930
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3931
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3932
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3933
      process.
3934
 
3935
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3936
      Only works under Windows.
3937
 
3938
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3939
 
3940
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3941
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3942
 
3943
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3944
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3945
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3946
 
3947
    * Jats eprog
3948
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3949
      directory.
3950
 
3951
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3952
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3953
      build metrics.
3954
 
3955

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3958
Major changes:
3959
 
3960
Minor changes:
3961
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3962
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3963
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3964
      automated build system. New options are:
3965
        -pname=Package_Name
3966
        -pversion=Package_Version
3967
 
3968
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3969
      transferring the package. New options are:
3970
        -test
3971
 
3972
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3973
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3974
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3975
 
3976
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3977
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3978
 
3979
    * Solaris Toolset
3980
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3981
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3982
      programs are still supported.

3985
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
3986
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3987
Major changes:
3988
 
3989
Minor changes:
3990
    * WINCE toolsets
3991
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3992
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3993
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3994
      when header files cannot be found.
3995
 
3996
    * GenerateFiles directive
3997
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3998
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3999
      that are difficult to solve.
4000
 
4001
    * MakePerlModule directive
4002
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4003
      to the the module builder.
4004
 
4005
    * Jats Tool: label
4006
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4007
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4008
      -dirs=xxx options.
4009
 
4010
    * Jats Tool: release
4011
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4012
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4013
 
4014
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4015
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4016
 
4017
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4018
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4019
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4020
 
4021
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4027
Major changes:
4028
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
4029
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
4030
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
4031
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
4032
 
4033
Minor changes:
4034
    * label utility
4035
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
4036
 
4037
    * make package and install operations
4038
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
4039
      transfer.
4040
 
4041
    * make clean up
4042
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4043
 
4044
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4045
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4046
      minor file transformations such as:
4047
        Copy, with optional rename
4048
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4049
        Perform simple TAG replacement
4050
 
4051
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
4052
 
4053
    * jats release utility
4054
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4055
      in place.
4056
 
4057
    * escrow utility
4058
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
4059
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

4066
Minor changes:
4067
    * Makefile generation
4068
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4069
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4070
      generate phase early.

4075
Major changes:
4076
 
4077
Minor changes:
4078
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4079
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4080
 
4081
    * Makefile generation
4082
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4083
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4084
 
4085
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4086
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4087
 
4088
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4089
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4090
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4091
 
4092
    * jats_rewrite utility
4093
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4094
 
4095
    * jats escrow utility
4096
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4097
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4098
 
4099
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4100
      inconsistent packages.
4101
 
4102
    * jats make help
4103
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4104
      available within the current build.
4105
 
4106
    * jats makefiles
4107
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4108
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4109
 
4110
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4111
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4112
 
4113
    * gcc toolset
4114
      SharedLibries.
4115
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4116
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4117
 
4118
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4119
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4120
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4121
 
4122
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4123
        New options:
4124
            --MultiScan
4125
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4126
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4127
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4133
Major changes:
4134
 
4135
Minor changes:
4136
    PackageLib directive
4137
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4138
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4139
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4140
 
4141
    MakefileGenerate directive
4142
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4143
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4144
 
4145
    Multiple Parent detection
4146
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4147
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4148
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4149
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4150
 
4151
    Solaris Toolset
4152
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4153
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4154
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4155
    link.
4156
 
4157
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4158
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4159
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4160
 
4161
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4162
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4163
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4164
    file.

4169
Major changes:
4170
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4171
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4172
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4173
 
4174
    Summary of changes:
4175
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4176
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4177
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4178
          flexibility.
4179
 
4180
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4181
 
4182
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4183
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4184
          interface directory and associated build information.
4185
 
4186
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4187
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4188
          than one second.
4189
 
4190
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4191
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4192
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4193
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4194
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4195
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4196
 
4197
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4198
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4199
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4200
 
4201
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4202
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4203
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4204
          building them.
4205
 
4206
        - Detection of build file changes
4207
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4208
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4209
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4210
 
4211
        - Quieter make output
4212
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4213
 
4214
 
4215
Minor changes:
4216
    MakeAnt Directive
4217
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4218
 
4219
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4220
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4221
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4222
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4223
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4224
 
4225
    CSHARP toolset
4226
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4227

Minor changes:
4234
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4235
    are generated.
4236
 
4237
    MakeAnt
4238
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4239
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4240
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4241
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4242
 
4243
    MCR platform
4244
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

4251
 
4252
Minor changes:
4253
    MakeAnt directive extended
4254
    New option: --PackageBase
4255
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4256
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4257
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4258
 
4259
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4260
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4261
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4262
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4282
 
4283
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4284
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4285
 
4286
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4287
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4288
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4289
 
4290
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4291
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4292
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4293
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

4320
Minor changes:
4321
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4322
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4323
 
4324
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4325
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4326
      last.
4327
 
4328
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4329
 
4330
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4331
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4332
 
4333
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4334
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4335
 
4336
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4337
 
4338
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4339
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4340
 
4341
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4342
 
4343
 
4344
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4345
           with the --System option
4346
 
4347
    * LMOS target platform

4353
Major changes:
4354
 
4355
Minor changes:
4356
    * Solaris Toolset
4357
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
4358
      dependent packages.
4359
 
4360
    * RunTest operation
4361
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4362
 
4363
    * Csharp toolkit
4364

4367
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
4368
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4369
Major changes:
4370
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4371
 
4372
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4373
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4374
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4375
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4376
      path.
4377
 
4378
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4379
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4380
      reproducible.
4381
 
4382
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4383
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4384
 
4385
      There are several aspects to the change
4386
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4387
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4388
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4389
 
4390
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4391
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4392
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4393
          controlled separately.
4394
 
4395
Minor changes:
4396
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4397
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4398
        Remove duplicates
4399
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4400

4404
Major changes:
4405
 
4406
Minor changes:
4407
    * Makefile sanity test
4408
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4409
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4410
 
4411
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4412
      x86 machine.
4413
 
4414
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4415
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4416
 
4417
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4418
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4419
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4420
Major changes:
4421
    * RunTest directive
4422
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4423
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4424
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4425
 
4426
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4427
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4428
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4429
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4430
 
4431
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4432
        builder within the current toolset.
4433
 
4434
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4435
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4436
 
4437
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4438
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4439
      containing the RunTest directive.
4440
 
4441
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4442
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4443
 
4444
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4445
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4446
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4447
 
4448
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4449
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4450
                            P or D suffix.
4451
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4452
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4453
 
4454
Minor changes:
4455
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4456
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4457
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4458
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4459
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4460
 
4461
    * Save Build Utility
4462
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4463
      used in a ripple build.
4464
 
4465
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4466
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4467
 
4468
    * Release Utility
4469
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4470
      when an error is encountered.
4471
 
4472
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4473
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4474
 
4475
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4476
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4477
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4478
 
4479
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4480
      before the makefiles are created.
4481
 
4482
    * TestProg directive
4483
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4484
 
4485
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4486
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4487

4491
Major changes:
4492
    * New build target
4493
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4494
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4495
 
4496
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4497
            DEVLINUX
4498
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4499
 
4500
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4501
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4502
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4503
 
4504
Minor changes:
4505
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4506
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4507
 
4508
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4509
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4510
 
4511
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4512
      and .cs files.
4513
 
4514
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4515
      thing.
4516
 
4517
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4518
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4519
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4520
      were it places temp files.
4521
 
4522
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4523
      interaction with other builds.
4524
 
4525
    * Release utility command
4526
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4527
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4528
      component in the clearcase tag name.

4545
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4546
 
4547

Version: JATS_2.65.2                                Released: 06-Jun-07
4575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4576
Major changes:
4577
 
4578
Minor changes:
4579
  * WINCE Support
4580
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4581
 
4582
  * Removed the following targets
4583
        TP5600
4584
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4585
        TP5600_EMU
4586
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4587
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4588
 
4589
  * Deployment
4590
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4591
 
4592
  * build.pl
4593
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4594
 
4595
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4596
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4597
 
4598
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4599
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4600
    build.
4601
 
4602
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4603
 
4604
  * Tool: escrow
4605
     New features
4606
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4607
     are not in the SBOM.
4608
 
4609
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4610
 
4611
     Specify packages to be ignored.
4612
 
4613
 
4614
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4615
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
4616
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4617
Major changes:
4618
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4619
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4620
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4621
 
4622
  * GenerateFiles
4623
    Added the options:
4624
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4625
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4626
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4627
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4628
 
4629
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4630
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4631
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4632
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4633
                                  required.
4634
 
4635
 
4636
Minor changes:
4637
  * GenerateFile directive
4638
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4639
 
4640
  * GCC Toolset
4641
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4642
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4643
    be rebuilt.
4644
 
4645
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4646
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4647
 
4648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4649
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4651
Major changes:
4652
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4653
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4654
    environment variables.
4655
 
4656
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4657
            moved.
4658
 
4659
    This will affect users that:
4660
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4661
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4662
 
4663
        2) Use the ABT system
4664
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4665
           the required configuration
4666
 
4667
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4668
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4669
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4670
    Windows
4671
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
4672
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
4673
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
5710 dpurdie 4674
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 4675
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
4676
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
4677
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
5710 dpurdie 4678
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 4679
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4680
 
4681
 
4682
  * New build platforms
4683
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4684
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4685
 
4686
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4687
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4688
 
4689
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4690
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4691
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4692
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4693
 
4694
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4695
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4696
    release.
4697
 
4698
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4699
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4700
 
4701
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4702
    need to be converted.
4703
 
4704
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4705
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4706
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4707
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4708
    used for different targets platforms.
4709
 
4710
  * Sandbox support
4711
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4712
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4713
 
4714
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4715
 
4716
Minor changes:
4717
 
4718
 
4719
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4720
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4721
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4722
Major changes:
4723
  * MakeAnt directive
4724
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4725
 
4726
    New options
4727
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4728
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4729
 
4730
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4731
    run_unit_tests phase.
4732
 
4733
  * Sandbox support
4734
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4735
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4736
 
4737
Minor changes:
4738
  * jats build
4739
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4740
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4741
 
4742
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4743
 
4744
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4745
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4746
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4747
 
4748
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4749
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4750
 
4751
  * JATS.BAT
4752
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4753
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4754
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4755
 
4756
  * jats label
4757
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4758
 
4759
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4760
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4761
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4762
Major changes:
4763
  * New build platform:
4764
        LMOS_TP5600
4765
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4766
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4767
 
4768
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4769
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4770
    describe the group of platforms.
4771
 
4772
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4773
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4774
    build these targets.
4775
 
4776
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4777
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4778
 
4779
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4780
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4781
 
4782
  * New build platform: WINCE
4783
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4784
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4785
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4786
 
4787
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4788
            WCEIT3000
4789
            WCEPA961
4790
            WCEPA962
4791
            WCEPCM7220
4792
            WCEPSION_420
4793
            WCEPSPC_arm
4794
            WCEPSPC_emu
4795
            WCEX86A420
4796
            WCEX86A500
4797
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4798
 
4799
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4800
 
4801
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4802
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4803
    that contain packaging directives.
4804
 
4805
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4806
    very unusual configurations.
4807
 
4808
Minor changes:
4809
  * Directive: PackageFile
4810
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4811
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4812
    an '='.
4813
 
4814
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4815
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4816
 
4817
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4818
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4819
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4820
 
4821
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4822
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4823
 
4824
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4825
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4826
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4827
Major changes:
4828
 
4829
  * JATS release command
4830
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4831
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4832
 
4833
    Rules are:
4834
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4835
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4836
                            File will be placed on a branch
4837
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4838
                            New directory will branch
4839
 
4840
Minor changes:
4841
  * JATS release command
4842
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4843
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4844
 
4845
  * JATS label command
4846
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4847
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4848
 
4849
  * JATS make
4850
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4851
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4852
    was re-packaged.
4853
 
4854
  * JATS escrow
4855
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4856
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4857
 
4858
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4859
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4860
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4861
 
4862
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4863
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4864
    interface directory.
4865
 
4866
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4867
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4868
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4869
    directory as seen by the package.
4870
 
4871
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4872
 
4873
  * JAVA 6
4874
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4875
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4876
 
4877
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4878
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4879
 
4880
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4881
 
4882
  * Jats command: vars
4883
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4884
    These indicate potential problems.
4885
 
4886
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4887
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4888
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4889
Major changes:
4890
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4891
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4892
    libarry is also created.
4893
 
4894
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4895
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4896
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4897
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4898
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4899
    information contained within the file.
4900
 
4901
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4902
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4903
 
4904
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4905
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4906
 
4907
  * Building Perl Modules
4908
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4909
    documentation on the build machine.
4910
 
4911
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4912
 
4913
Minor changes:
4914
  * jats create_dpkg
4915
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4916
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4917
 
4918
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4919
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4920
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4921
Major changes:
4922
  * JATS JAVA build target
4923
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4924
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4925
 
4926
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4927
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4928
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4929
    is then picked up as the default version.
4930
 
4931
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4932
    build.pl file.
4933
 
4934
Minor changes:
4935
  * jats release
4936
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4937
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4938
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4939
 
4940
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4941
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4942
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4943
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4944
    the name of the view.
4945
 
4946
  * GenerateFiles directive
4947
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4948
 
4949
  * MOS Toolset
4950
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4951
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4952
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4953
 
4954
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4955
 
4956
 
4957

Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4960
Major changes:
4961
 
4962
Minor changes:
4963
  * JATS environment
4964
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4965
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4966
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4967
 
4968
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4969
 
4970
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4971
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4972
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4973
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4974
    to be packaged.
4975
 
4976
  * Generated makefiles
4977
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4978
 
4979
  * Generating MOS THX files
4980
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4981
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4982
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4983
 
4984
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4985
 
4986
  * JATS release
4987
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4988
 
4989
  * JATS extract
4990
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4991
 
4992
  * JATS Toolset
4993
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4994
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4995
 
4996

4998
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4999
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5000
Major changes:
5001
 
5002
Minor changes:
5003
  * jats label
5004
    Added a -vob=name option
5005
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5006
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5007
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5008
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5009
 
5010
    Added a -user=name option
5011
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5012
    label to the named user.
5013
 
5014
  * jats release
5015
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5016
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5017
 
5018
  * JATS build.pl
5019
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5020
    ie:
5021
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5022

5025
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5026
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5027
Major changes:
5028
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5029
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5030
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5031
    the makefile internals. ie:
5032
        --Var(BuildName)
5033
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5034
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5035
 
5036
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5037
 
5038
  * GenerateFiles
5039
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5040
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5041
 
5042
  * BuildPlatforms
5043
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5044
 
5045
Minor changes:
5046
  * GCC Toolset
5047
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5048
 
5049
Internal changes:
5050
  * GenerateFiles
5051
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5052
 
5053
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5054
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5055
 
5056
 
5057
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5058
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5060
Major changes:
5061
  * Caching JATS
5062
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5063
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5064
 
5065
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5066
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5067
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5068
 
5069
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5070
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5071
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5072
 
5073
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5074
 
5075
Minor changes:
5076
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5077
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5078
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5079
 
5080
  * jats build
5081
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5082
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5083
    processed by the build.
5084
 
5085
  * jats build
5086
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5087
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5088
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5089
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5090
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5091
 
5092
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5093
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5094
    Path is not specified.
5095
 
5096
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5097
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5098
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5099
        --Dir=$Pinc
5100
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5101
 
5102
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5103
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5104
    Windows platform.
5105
 
5106
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5107
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5108
            by 'purecov.
5109
 
5110
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5111
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5112
 
5113
        - OPTIONS=purify
5114
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5115
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5116
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5117

5121
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5122
Major changes:
5123
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5124
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5125
    Example:
5126
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5127
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5128
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5129
 
5130
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5131
    been determined.
5132
 
5133
Minor changes:
5134
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5135
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5136
    located at build-time.
5137
 
5138
  * Unix based systems
5139
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5140
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5141
 
5142
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5143
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5144
    driver being built.
5145

5159
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5160
 
5161

5162
    dependancy information within a package.
5163
 
5164
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5165
    messages.

5177
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5178
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5179
                      be run on every invocation.
5180
 
5181
 
5182

5188
  There are two mechanism:
5189
 
5190
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5191
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5192
 
5193
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5194
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default

  * SunWorks Toolset
5206
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5207
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5208
    It is based on machine type.
5209
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5210

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5241
 
5242
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5243
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5244
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5245
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5246
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5247
 
5248
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5249
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5250
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232

        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5252
 
5253
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5254
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

Minor changes:
5269
  * JATS wrapper script
5270
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5271
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5272
    to setup links to system programs.
5273

5316
    Theses are:
5317
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5318
        SOLARIS_AMD
5319
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The

  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5341
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5342
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5343
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5344

  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5352
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5353
    library without creating the body of the library:

        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5355
 
5356
 
5357
  * MOS toolsets
5358
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'

5361
 
5362
  * JATS BIN directories
5363
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5364
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5365
    using autoconf.
5366
 
5367
  * Generate directive
5368
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5369
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5370
 
5371
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.

Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5376
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5377
Major changes:
5378
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5379
    Initial release.

5385
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5386
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5387
Major changes:
5388
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5389
    Initial release.
5390
 
5391
  * Packaging directives
5392
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5393
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5394
 
5395
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5396
        SOLARIS
5397
        WIN32
5398
 
5399
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5400
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5401
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5402
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5403
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5404
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5405
 
5406
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5407
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5408
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5409
 
5410
 
5411
Minor changes:
5412
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5413
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5414
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5415
 
5416
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5417
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5418
    location
5419
 
5420
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5421
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5422
 
5423
  * Utility genrc
5424
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5425
 
5426
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5427
    Added option: -new
5428
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5429
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5430
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5431
 
5432
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5433
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5434
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5435
 
5436
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5437
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5438
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5439
 
5440
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5441
   features - in a uniform manner.
5442
 
5443
 
5444
Internal Changes:
5445
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5446
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5447
 
5448
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5449
        1) Platform information available at build time
5450
        2) Dynamic platform names
5451
 
5452
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5453
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5454
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5455
 
5456
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5457
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5458
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5459
 
5460
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5461
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5462
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5463
    needed.
5464
 
5465
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5466
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5467
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5468
    files from all of these.
5469

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5471
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
5472
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5473
Major changes:
5474
 
5475
Minor changes:
5476
  * WinCE toolset
5477
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
5478
 
5479
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5480
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5482
Major changes:
5483
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5484
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5485
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5486
 
5487
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5488
 
5489
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5490
    the operations.
5491
 
5492
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5493
 
5494
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5495
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5496
 
5497
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5498
 
5499
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5500
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5501
 
5502
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5503
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5504
    Extended the built-in help
5505
    Added useful error messages
5506
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5507
 
5508
  * WinCE toolset
5509
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5510
 
5511
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5512
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5513
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5514
 
5515
Minor changes:
5516
  * JATS wrapper script
5517
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5518
    the command line.
5519
 
5520
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5521
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5522
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5523
 
5524
Internal Changes:
5525
  * Common Error Reporting
5526
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5527
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5528
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5529
    level.
5530
 
5531
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5532
    displayed.
5533
 
5534
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5535
 
5536
  * Added JatsSystem module
5537
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5538
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5539
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
5540
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5541
Major changes:
5542
 
5543
Minor changes:
5544
  * BR Compiler toolset
5545
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5546
    .def files to include other files.
5547
 
5548
  * IAR toolset
5549
    Added AT7272 support
5550
 
5551
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5552
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5553
 
5554
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5555
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
5556
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5557
Major changes:
5558
 
5559
Minor changes:
5560
  * BR Compiler toolset
5561
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5562
    use.
5563
 
5564
 
5565
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5566
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5568
Major changes:
5569
 
5570
Minor changes:
5571
  * Mictotec toolset
5572
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5573
    builds.
5574
 
5575
  * JATS Core
5576
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5577
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5578
    behaviour.
5579
 
5580
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5581
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5582
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5583
Major changes:
5584
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5585
    Deployment package will be affected.
5586
 
5587
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5588
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5589
 
5590
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5591
 
5592
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5593
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5594
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5595
    packages.
5596
 
5597
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5598
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5599
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5600
 
5601
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5602
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5603
 
5604
Minor changes:
5605
  * SubDir directive
5606
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5607
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5608
 
5609
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5610
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5611
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5612
    of the file usage.
5613
 
5614
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5615
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5616
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5617
 
5618
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5619
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5620
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5621
 
5622
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5623
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5624
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5625
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5626
 
5627
 
5628
Internal Changes:
5629
  * Code refactor
5630
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5631
 
5632
  * Deployment utilities
5633
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5634
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5635
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5636
    the module can locate the file.
5637
 
5638
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5639
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5640
 
5641
  * JATS core
5642
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5643
 
5644
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5645
 
5646
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5647
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5648
    through the use of environment variables.
5649
 
5650
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5651
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5652
 
5653
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5654
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5655
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5656
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5657
 
5658
  * Make environment
5659
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5660
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5661
 
5662
 
5663
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5664
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5665
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5666
Major changes:
5667
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5668
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5669
 
5670
 
5671
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5672
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5674
 
5675
Not Released.
5676
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5677
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5678
 
5679
 
5680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5681
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5683
Major changes:
5684
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5685
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5686
    radically replaced.
5687
 
5688
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5689
    Usage:
5690
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5691
 
5692
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5693
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5694
    this solution:
5695
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5696
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5697
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5698
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5699
 
5700
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5701
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5702
    order to work.
5703
 
5704
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5705
    reduced functionality.
5706
 
5707
 
5708
Minor changes:
5709
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5710
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5711
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5712
 
5713
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5714
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5715
    within the makefiles.
5716
        Options:
5717
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5718
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5719
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5720
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5721
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5722
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5723
        Useage:
5724
 
5725
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5726
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5727
 
5728
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5729
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5730
    is not in the current directory.
5731
 
5732
  * Jats Command: ant'
5733
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5734
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5735
 
5736
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5737
 
5738
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5739
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5740
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5741
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5742
 
5743
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5744
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5745
    Thus
5746
 
5747
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5748
 
5749
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5750
 
5751

5753
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5754
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5755
Major changes:
5756
 
5757
Minor changes:
5758
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5759
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5760
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5761
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5762
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5763
 
5764
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5765
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5766
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5767
 
5768
Internal changes:
5769
  * JATS toolsets
5770
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5771
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5772
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5773
 
5774
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5775
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5776
 
5777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5778
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5780
Major changes:
5781
  * Jats command: etool
5782
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5783
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5784
 
5785
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5786
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5787
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5788
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5789
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5790
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5791
 
5792

5796
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5797
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5798
Major changes:
5799
  * JATS environment variables
5800
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5801
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5802
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5803
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5804
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5805
 
5806
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5807
              Remote repository
5808
 
5809
    Added GBE_DPLY
5810
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5811
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5812
 
5813
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5814
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5815
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5816
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5817
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5818
 
5819
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5820
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5821
 
5822
 
5823
Minor changes:
5824
  * JATS utility: build
5825
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5826
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5827
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5828
 
5829
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5830
    Ensure label is not locked
5831
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5832
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5833
 
5834
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5835
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5836
    to a specific type of build.
5837
 
5838
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5839
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5840
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5841
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5842
 
5843
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5844
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5845
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5846
 
5847
  * JATS utility: release
5848
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5849
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5850
 
5851
  * JATS utility: label
5852
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5853
    when it is being created.
5854
 
5855
Internal Changes
5856
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5857
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5858
 
5859
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5860
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5861
 
5862
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5863
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5864
    different results.
5865
 
5866
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5867
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5868
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5869
 
5870
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5871
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5872
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5873
Major changes:
5874
 
5875
  * MCR toolset
5876
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5877
 
5878
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5879
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5880
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5881
Major changes:
5882
  * WIN32 utilities
5883
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5884
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5885
 
5886
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5887
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5888
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5889
 
5890
Minor changes:
5891
  * BuildVersion
5892
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5893
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5894
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5895
 
5896
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5897
 
5898
  * Unix Builds
5899
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5900
    library or a shared library.
5901
 
5902
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5903
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5904
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5905
    start with 'lib'.
5906
 
5907
  * BuildPkgArchive
5908
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5909
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5910
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5911
 
5912
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5913
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5914
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5915
Major changes:
5916
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5917
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5918
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5919
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5920
    being manually maintained.
5921
 
5922
 
5923
Minor changes:
5924
  * MakeAnt directive
5925
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5926
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5927
    supports ANT builds.
5928
 
5929
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5930
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5931
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5932
 
5933
  * Label utility
5934
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5935
    files to be labeled.
5936
 
5937
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5938
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5939
    on Solaris.
5940
 
5941
  * Generated makefiles
5942
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5943
    nothing.
5944
 
5945
  * MOS Toolset
5946
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5947
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5948
    modules.
5949
 
5950
  * Utility: gen_cots
5951
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5952
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5953
 
5954
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5955
 
5956
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5957
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5958
 
5959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5960
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5961
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5962
Major changes:
5963
  None
5964
 
5965
Minor changes:
5966
  * DEVI addressed
5967
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 5968
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 5969
 
5970
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5971
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5972
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5973
 
5974
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5975
 
5976
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5977
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5978
 
5979
  * RunTest directive
5980
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5981
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5982
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5983
 
5984
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5985
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5986
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5987
    packaged under JATS
5988
 
5989
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5990
          supported within JATS.
5991
 
5992
  * Jats utility wrapper
5993
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5994
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5995
 
5996
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5997
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5998
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5999
 
6000
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6001
    Eg: jats ant
6002
 
6003
  * Jats utility wrapper
6004
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6005
 
5710 dpurdie 6006
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6007
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6008
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6009
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6010
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6011
 
5710 dpurdie 6012
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6013
    expect a build.pl file.
6014
 
6015
  * Jats utility wrapper
6016
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6017
 
6018
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6019
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6020
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6021
 
6022
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6023
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6024
 
6025
  * Build files
6026
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6027
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6028
 
6029
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6030
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6031
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6032
Major changes:
6033
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6034
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6035
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6036
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6037
 
6038
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6039
 
6040
Minor changes:
6041
  * None
6042
 
6043
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6044
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6045
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6046
Major changes:
6047
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6048
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6049
    ie:
6050
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6051
 
6052
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6053
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6054
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6055
    environments are compatible.
6056
 
6057
 
6058
Minor changes:
6059
  * BuildName option
6060
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6061
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6062
 
6063
  * jats.bat
6064
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6065
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6066
 
6067
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6068
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6069
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6070
Major changes:
6071
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6072
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6073
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6074
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6075
 
6076
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6077
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6078
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6079
 
6080
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6081
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6082
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6083
 
6084
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6085
    transferred.
6086
 
6087
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6088
    See notes below.
6089
 
6090
  * WIN32 toolset
6091
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6092
    correctly.
6093
 
6094
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6095
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6096
 
6097
  * BuildVersion
6098
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6099
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6100
    other langauges as needed.
6101
 
6102
 
6103
Minor changes:
6104
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6105
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6106
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6107
    version strings.
6108
 
6109
  * GenerateFiles directive
6110
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6111
    package or an imported package.
6112
 
6113
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6114
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6115
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6116
 
6117
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6118
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6119
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6120
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6121
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6122
 
6123
Internal Changes
6124
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6125
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6126
    of utilities.
6127
 
6128
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6129
    functions.
6130
 
6131
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6132
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6133
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6134
Major changes:
6135
  * Generated makefiles
6136
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6137
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6138
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6139
 
6140
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6141
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6142
    incorrectly processing:
6143
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6144
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6145
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6146
    confused.
6147
 
6148
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6149
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6150
    The construct
6151
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6152
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6153
    then it works.
6154
 
6155
  * MakeAnt directive
6156
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6157
 
6158
    This option has the following effects
6159
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6160
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6161
 
6162
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6163
           early - in the generated files phase.
6164
 
6165
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6166
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6167
 
6168
 
6169
Minor changes:
6170
  * JATS post-installation script
6171
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6172
 
6173
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6174
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6175
    windows.
6176
 
6177
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6178
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6179
 
6180
  * Jats wrapper script
6181
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6182
        1) Contain spaces
6183
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6184
 
6185
  * Toolset
6186
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6187
 
6188
  * JAVA toolset
6189
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6190
    directive:
6191
 
6192
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6193
 
6194
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6195
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6196
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6197
 
6198
  * GCC Toolset
6199
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6200
 
6201
  * Makefile generation
6202
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6203
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6204
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6205
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6206
    package could not be used.
6207
 
6208
  * Unit Tests
6209
    The following environment variables are set:
6210
 
6211
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6212
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6213
 
6214
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6215
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6216
 
6217
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6218
 
6219
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6220
 
6221
 
6222
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6223
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6224
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6225
Major changes:
6226
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6227
 
6228
    Special features of this toolset.
6229
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6230
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6231
       incorporated within the target image.
6232
 
6233
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6234
       --Set=Name=Value
6235
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6236
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6237
 
6238
       --Ref=name
6239
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6240
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6241
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6242
                will be taken from the build version number.
6243
 
6244
Minor changes:
6245
  * MOS Toolset
6246
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6247
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6248
    packaged.
6249
 
6250
  * Src directive
6251
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6252
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6253
    specifier.
6254
 
6255
  * WIN32 runtime support
6256
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6257
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6258
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6259
 
6260
Internal:
6261
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6262
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6263
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6264
 
6265
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6266
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6267
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6268
Major changes:
6269
    * BuildAlias directive
6270
      Added options.
6271
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6272
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6273
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6274
                          targets.
6275
      Eg:
6276
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6277
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6278
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6279
 
6280
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6281
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6282
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6283
 
6284
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6285
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6286
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6287
 
6288
 
6289
Minor changes:
6290
  * Label utility
6291
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6292
    build.pl file
6293
 
6294
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6295
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6296
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6297
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6298
    --FilterIn option.
6299
 
6300
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6301
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6302
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6303
 
6304
  * Location of descpkg file
6305
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6306
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6307
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6308
 
6309
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6310
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6311
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6312
Major changes:
6313
  * RunTest directive
6314
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6315
    Additional options
6316
      --CopyIn=file
6317
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6318
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6319
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6320
        the test area.
6321
 
6322
    Additional operations
6323
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6324
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6325
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6326
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6327
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6328
    Allows flags:
6329
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6330
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6331
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6332
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6333
 
6334
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6335
    existence is tested.
6336
 
6337
  * Packaging Directives
6338
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6339
    such as LMOS.
6340
 
6341
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6342
 
6343
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6344
 
6345
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6346
 
6347
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6348
 
6349
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6350
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6351
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6352
 
6353
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6354
 
6355
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6356
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6357
 
6358
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6359
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6360
 
6361
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6362
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6363
 
6364
Minor changes:
6365
  * Script directive
6366
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6367
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6368
 
6369
  * JATS environment
6370
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6371
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6372
    the JATS wrapper script.
6373
 
6374
  * Label utility
6375
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6376
    There are three modes of operation:
6377
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6378
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6379
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6380

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6383
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6384
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6385
Major changes:
6386
 
6387
Minor changes:
6388
  * label utility
6389
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6390
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6391
 
6392
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6393
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6394
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6395
      --ProgLoader=name
6396
 
6397
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6398
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6399
    Options to do this are:
6400
        --TreeDir=name
6401
        --FilterOut=regexp
6402
        --FilterIn=regexp
6403
        --StripDir
6404
 
6405
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6406
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6407
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6408
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6409
 
6410
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6411
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6412
 
6413
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6414
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6415
 
6416
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6417
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6418
 
6419
 
6420
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6421
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6422
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6423
Major changes:
6424
    * Make commands
6425
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6426
 
6427
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6428
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6429
 
6430
    * Label utility
6431
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6432
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6433
 
6434
Minor changes:
6435
    * Toolsets
6436
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6437
      variables and overrides.
6438
 
6439
      The make_init target is always run.
6440
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6441
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6442
 
6443
    * Deployment
6444
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6445
      with deployment operations.
6446
 
6447
    * Release utility
6448
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6449
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6450
      restricted by options within the build.
6451
 
6452
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6453
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6454
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6455
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6456
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6457
 
6458
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6459
      directives.
6460
 
6461
    * MakeProject directive
6462
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6463
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6464
 
6465
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6466
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6467
      is preserved.
6468
 
6469
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6470
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6471
      statements.
6472
 
6473
    * Mugfile generation
6474
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6475
      be placed in the target package.
6476
 
6477
 
6478
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6479
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6480
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6481
Major changes:
6482
    * BuildVersion directive
6483
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6484
      number as well as a patch number.
6485
 
6486
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6487
      number.
6488
 
6489
Minor changes:
6490
    * AddFlags directives
6491
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6492
      duplicate flags being added.
6493
 
6494
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6495
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6496
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6497
 
6498
    * Mug File Generation
6499
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6500
 
6501
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6502
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6503
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6504
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6505
     directory.
6506
 
6507
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6508
     reproducible.
6509
 
6510
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6511
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6512
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6513
Major changes:
6514
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6515
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6516
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6517
      longer a list of directories.
6518
 
6519
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6520
      done within the toolset.
6521
 
6522
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6523
 
6524
    * JATS environment variables
6525
      Redefined variable
6526
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6527
                          Previously was a list that included the
6528
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6529
 
6530
      New variable
6531
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6532
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6533
 
6534
 
6535
Minor changes:
6536
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6537
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6538
      target platforms to be extracted.
6539
 
6540
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6541
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6542
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6543
 
6544
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6545
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6546
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6547
 
6548
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6549
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6550
 
6551
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6552
      Support ANT based XML files
6553
 
6554
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6555
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6556
      structure.
6557
 
6558
    * makefile.pl's
6559
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6560
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6561
 
6562
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6563
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6564
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6565
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6566
 
6567
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6568
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6569
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6570
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6571
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6572
      -- Auto.
6573
 
6574
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6575
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6576
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6577
 
6578
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6579
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6580
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6581
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6582
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6583
 
6584
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6585
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6586
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6587
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6588
      installed on the machine.
6589
 
6590
    * WINCE Targets
6591
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6592
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6593
 
6594
 
6595

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6597
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6599
Major changes:
6600
    * WIN32 platforms
6601
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6602
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6603
      and installed packages.
6604
 
6605
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6606
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6607
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6608
 
6609
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6610
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6611
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6612
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6613
      searched when looking for libraries.
6614
 
6615
Minor changes:
6616
    * GenerateFiles directive
6617
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6618
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6619
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6620
                          and drive letter
6621
 
6622
    * Src directive
6623
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6624
      directory of a package.
6625
 
6626
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6627
 
6628
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6629
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6630
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6631
 
6632
    * jats_rewrite utility
6633
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6634
 
6635

6637
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6638
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6639
Major changes:
6640
    * SunWorks production builds
6641
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6642
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6643
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6644
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6645
      compiler documentation.
6646
 
6647
    * MOS Toolset
6648
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6649
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6650
 
6651
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6652
 
6653
Minor changes:
6654
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6655
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6656
      This should not affect current users.
6657
 
6658
    * Mugfile generation
6659
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6660
      specified.
6661
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6662
 
6663
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6664
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6665
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6666
Major changes:
6667
    MOS Toolset
6668
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6669
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6670
 
6671
Minor changes:
6672
    * Jats wrapper script
6673
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6674
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6675
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6676
 
6677
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6678
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6679
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6680
      may be suspect.
6681
 
6682
    * GenerateFiles directive
6683
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6684
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6685
 
6686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6687
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6688
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6689
Major changes:
6690
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6691
      build.xml files.
6692
 
6693
Minor changes:
6694
    * WIN32 toolset.
6695
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6696
 
6697
    * MakeAnt
6698
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6699
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6700
 
6701
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6702
 
6703
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6704
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6705
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6706
 
6707
    * MakeAnt directive
6708
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6709
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6710
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6711
 
6712
      Recommended usage:
6713
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6714
 
6715
Internal Changes
6716
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6721
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6722
Major changes:
6723
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6724
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6725
      files packaged into the release.
6726
 
6727
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6728

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6731
 
6732
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6733
      The recommended platform is:
6734
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6735
 
6736
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6737
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6738
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6739
      components.
6740
 
6741
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

6745
 
6746
Minor changes:
6747
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6748
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6749
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6750
      by the package to be accessed.
6751
 
6752
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6753
      application or visual studio.
6754
 
6755
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6756
      and the JATS Core path.
6757
 
6758
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6759
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6760
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6761
 
6762
    * MOS Toolset
6763
      Add support for the TPT device
6764
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6765
 
6766
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6767
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6768
 
6769
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6770
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6771
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6772
 
6773
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6774
 
6775
Internal Changes
6776
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6777
      in jats.pl
6778
 
6779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6780
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6781
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6782
Major changes:
6783
    * JATS wrapper script
6784
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6785
 
6786
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6787
 
6788
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6789
 
6790
Minor changes:
6791
    * Deployment support
6792
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6793
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6794
 
6795
    * 'build'
6796
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6797
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6798
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6799
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6800
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6801
 
6802
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6803
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6804
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6805
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6806
                                      the link phase.
6807
 
6808
    * BuildPkgArchive
6809
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6810
      Previously these were ignored.
6811
      Minor code cleanup
6812
 
6813
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6814
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6815
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6816
 
6817
    * SOLARIS targets
6818
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6819
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6820
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6821
 
6822
    * MugFile generation
6823
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6824
      included in the final package.
6825
 
6826
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6827
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6828
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6829
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6830
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6831
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6832
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6833
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6834
 
6835
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6836
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6837
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6838
            --Option=(some_text)
6839
            --Option=[some_text]
6840
            --Option={some_text}
6841
 
6842
Internal Changes
6843
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6844
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6845
      code.
6846
 
6847

6848
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6849
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6850
Major changes:
6851
    * JATS wrapper script
6852
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6853
 
6854
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6855
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6856
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6857
      other components.
6858
 
6859
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6860
 
6861
    * JATS
6862
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6863
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6864
 
6865
    * Build operations
6866
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6867
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6868
      packages.
6869
 
6870
    * Make operations
6871
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6872
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6873
 
6874
Minor changes:
6875
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6876
      deployment builds.
6877
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6878
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6879
 
6880
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6881
 
6882
    * build.pl
6883
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6884
        processed. Allows
6885
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6886
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6887
        production.
6888
 
6889
    * MOS toolset
6890
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6891
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6892
 
6893
    * create_dpkg utility
6894
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6895
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6896
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6897
      progress of the build.
6898
 
6899
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6900
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6901
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6902
      system.
6903

6906
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6907
Major changes:
6908
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6909
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6910
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6911
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6912
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6913
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6914
 
6915
    * WCEX86A500 target
6916
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6917
 
6918
    * MOS Toolsets
6919
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6920
      the compiler.
6921
 
6922
    * RunTest directive
6923
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6924
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6925
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6926
 
6927
Minor changes:
6928
    * JATS BUILD
6929
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6930
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6931
      highlight bad settings.
6932
 
6933
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6934
      access to extensions.
6935
 
6936

      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6942
 
6943
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6944
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6945
      under unix.
6946
 
6947
Minor changes:
6948
    * label utility
6949
      Added options to:
6950
        o Delete a label
6951
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6952
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6953
 
6954
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6955
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6956
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6957
      Package directives.
6958
 
6959
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6960
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6961
      system.
6962
 
6963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6964
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6965
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6966
Major changes:
6967
    * MOS Toolset
6968
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6969
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6970
 
6971
    * WIN32 Toolset
6972
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6973
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6974
      list.
6975
 
6976
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6977
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6978
 
6979
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6980
 
6981
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6982
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6983
 
6984
 
6985
Minor changes:
6986
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6987
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6988
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6989
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6990
      corrected.
6991
 
6992
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6993
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6994
 
6995
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6996
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6997
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.

Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7002
Major changes:
7003
    * WIN32 Toolset
7004
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7005
      use with multithreaded modes.
7006
 
7007
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7008
      --OnlyProd.
7009
 
7010
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7011
      within the makefile.pl.
7012
 
7013
Minor changes:
7014
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7015
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7016
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7017
      platforms.
7018
 
7019
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7020
 
7021
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7022
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7023
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7024
Major changes:
7025
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7026
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7027
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7028
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7029
 
7030
    * Preliminary Support
7031
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7032
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7033
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7034
 
7035
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7036
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7037
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7038
 
7039
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7040
      building. The default build will build both.
7041
 
7042
Minor changes:
7043
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7044
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7045
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7046
 
7047
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7048
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7049
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7050
 
7051
 
7052
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7053
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7054
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7055
Major changes:
7056
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7057
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7058
      or all.
7059
 
7060
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7061
      the library or program.
7062
 
7063
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7064
 
7065
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7066
      library or any debug files.
7067
 
7068
    * GenerateFiles
7069
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7070
 
7071
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7072
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7073
 
7074
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7075
              The filename of the prereq file
7076
 
7077
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7078
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7079
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7080
 
7081
 
7082
Minor changes:
7083
    * create_dpkg utility
7084
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7085
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7086
      the package has been altered.
7087

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7091
Major changes:
7092
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7093
      This is a WINCE target
7094
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7095
 
7096
    * New toolset
7097
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7098
 
7099
    * Modified toolset
7100
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7101
 
7102
    * Modified toolset
7103
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7104
 
7105
Minor changes:
7106
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7107
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7108
 
7109
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7110
 
7111
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7112
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7113
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7114
 
7115
      The change allows the construct
7116
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7117
      to be replaced by the simpler
7118
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7119
 
7120
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7121
      specified name.    
7122

7127
Major changes:
7128
    * Dependancy generator
7129
      Extend the number of header files that can be included
7130
      to allow for 4096 included files.
7131

Version: JATS_2.20.0                                Released: 12-Apr-05
7141
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7142
Major changes:
7143
    * The "package.pl" file.
7144
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7145
      package name being taken from the build name
7146
 
7147
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7148
      package Build Name.
7149
 
7150
Minor changes:
7151
    * create_dpkg utility
7152
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7153
 
7154
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7155
Version: JATS_2.19.0                                Released: 08-Apr-05

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7157
Major changes:
7158
 
7159
Minor changes:
7160
    * Dependancy generator
7161
      Correct two common situations
7162
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7163
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7164
           ansi, but is often done.
7165
 
7166
    * GCC toolset
7167
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7168
      being created in the correct place.
7169
 
7170
    * jats "label"
7171
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7172
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7173
 
7174
 
7175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7176
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7177
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7178
Major changes:
7179
 
7180
Minor changes:
7181
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7182
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7183
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7184
 
7185
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7186
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7187
 
7188
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7189
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7190
      package was not being transferred.
7191
 
7192
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7193
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7194
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7195
Major changes:
7196
    * Support for solaris_i386
7197
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7198
      binaries for this target.
7199
 
7200
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7201
      with the GCC compiler.
7202
 
7203
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7204
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7205
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7206
 
7207
Minor changes:
7208
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7209
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7210
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7211
 
7212
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7213
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7214
 
7215
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7216
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7217
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7218
Major changes:
7219
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7220
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7221
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7222
 
7223
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7224
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7225
 
7226
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7227
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7228
      with either " or ' characters.
7229
 
7230
    * BuildSubDir - in build.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
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7235
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7236
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7237
 
7238
    * Jats wrapper
7239
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7240
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7241
      further commands.
7242
 
7243
Minor changes:
7244
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7245
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7246
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7247
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7248
 
7249
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7250
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7251
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7252
Major changes:
7253
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7254
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7255
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7256
 
7257
      These options operation affect all components within the
7258
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7259
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7260
 
7261
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7262
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7263
 
7264
Minor changes:
7265
 
7266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7267
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7268
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7269
Major changes:
7270
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7271
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7272
 
7273
Minor changes:
7274
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7275
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7276
 
7277
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7278
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7279
 
7280
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7281
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7282
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7283
Major changes:
7284
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7285
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7286
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7287
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7288
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7289
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7290
      installed.
7291
 
7292
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7293
      libraries that depend on each other.
7294
 
7295
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7296
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7297
 
7298
Minor changes:
7299
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7300
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7301
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7302
 
7303
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7304
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7305
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7306
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7307
 
7308
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7309
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7310
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7311
Major changes:
7312
 
7313
Minor changes:
7314
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7315
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7316
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7317
      file.
7318
 
7319
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7320
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7321
 
7322
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7323
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7324
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7325
 
7326
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7327
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7328
 
7329
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7330
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7331
 
7332
    * WinCE toolsets
7333
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7334
      compiler specific libraries.
7335
 
7336
    * SOLARIS toolset
7337
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7338
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7339
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7340
 
7341
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7342
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7343
      cleaned up.
7344
 
7345
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7346
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7347
 
7348
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7349
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7350
      with either " or ' characters.
7351

7355
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7356
Major changes:
7357
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7358
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7359
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7360
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7361
 
7362
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7363
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7364
 
7365
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7366
      user.
7367
 
7368
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7369
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7370
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7371
 
7372
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7373
      for the   -Gf option.
7374
 
7375
Minor changes:
7376
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7377
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7378
 
7379
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7380
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7381
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7382
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7383

7386
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7387
Major changes:
7388
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7389
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7390
 
7391
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7392
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7393
      data addresses for the board.

7395
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7396
 
7397
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7398
 
7399
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7400
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7401
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7402
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7403
         PackageFile
7404
 
7405
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7406
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7407
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7408
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7409
 
7410
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7411
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7412
      to be installed and packaged.
7413
 
7414
Minor changes:
7415
 
7416
    * cache_dpkg utility
7417
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7418
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7419
 
7420
    * label utility
7421
      New option -auto to create and label
7422
 
7423
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7424
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7425
 
7426
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7427
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7428
      directory. ie:
7429
 
7430
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7431
 
7432
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7433
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7434
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.

7438
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7439
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7440
Major changes:
7441
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7442
 
7443
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7444
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7445
 
7446
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7447
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7448
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7449
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7450
 
7451
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7452
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7453
      compilation.
7454
 
7455
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7456
 
7457
Minor changes:
7458
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7459
      one is being produced.
7460
 
7461
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7462
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7463
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7464
 
7465
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7466
 
7467
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7468
 
7469
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7470
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7471
 
7472
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7473
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7474
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7475
Major changes:
7476
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7477
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7478
 
7479
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7480
 
7481
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7482
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7483
      same directory
7484
 
7485
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7486
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7487
      documenattion.
7488
 
7489
Minor changes:
7490
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7491
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7492
 
7493
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7494
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7495
 
7496
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7497
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7498
 
7499
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7500
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7501
 
7502
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7503
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7504
      be exempt from this test.
7505
 
7506
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7507
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7508
 
7509
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7510
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7511
 
7512
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7513
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7514
      does.
7515
 
7516
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7517
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7518
 
7519
 
7520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7521
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7522
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7523
Major changes:
7524
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7525
 
7526
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7527
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7528
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7529
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7530
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7531
 
7532
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7533
      operations.
7534
 
7535
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7536
 
7537
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7538
 
7539
Minor changes
7540
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7541
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7542
 
7543
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7544
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7545
      directory is not added to the library path.
7546
 
7547
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7548
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7549
 
7550
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7551
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7552
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7553
 
7554
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7555
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7556
      specific flags.
7557
 
7558
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7559
 
7560
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7561
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7562
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7563
 
7564
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7565
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7566
      JATS.
7567
 
7568
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7569
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7570
 
7571
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7572
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7573
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7574
 
7575
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7576
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7577
 
7578
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7579
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7580
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7581
 
7582
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7583
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7584
 
7585
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7586
 
7587
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7588
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7589
 
7590
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7591
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7592
      objects.
7593
 
7594
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7595
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7596
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7597
      build defendants.
