Major changes:
491
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
492
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
493
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
494
 
495
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
496
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
497
      duplicates corrected.
498
 
499
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
500
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
501
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
502
 
503
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
504
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
505
      displayed at the end of the build process.

732
Minor changes:
733
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
734
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
735
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
736
 
737
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
738
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
739
 
740
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
741
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
743
 
744
    * Jats Internal: Database access
745

1067
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1068
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1069
      intended to build deployed software.
1070
 
1071
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1072
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1073
 
1074
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1075
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1076
 
1077
Minor changes:
1078
    * Jats wrapper script
1079
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1080
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1081
      Subversion instance of the command.
1082
 
1083
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1084
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1085
 
1086
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1087
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1088
 
1089
    * Utility: jats upddep
1090
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1091
      file under windows.
1092
 
1093
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1094
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1095
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1096
 
1097
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1098
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1099
 
1100
    * GCC Toolchain
1101
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1117
Major changes:
1118
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1119
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1120
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1121
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1122
 
1123
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1124
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

3559 dpurdie 1133
 
1134
Minor changes:
1135
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1136
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1137
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1138
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1139
      line.
1140
 
1141
    * Jats Configuration
1142
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1143
 
1144
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1145
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1146
      and Linux.
1147
 
1148
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1149
      correctly rippled.

1154
Major changes:
1155
 
1156
Minor changes:
1157
    * Jats Core
1158
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1159
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1160
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1161
 
1162
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1163
      Used only by the build daemons.
1164
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1165
 
1166
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1167
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1168
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
1169

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1173
Major changes:
1174
 
1175
Minor changes:
1176
    * svnrelease utility
1177
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1178
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1179
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1180
 
1181
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1182
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1183
      the named tag.
1184
 
1185
    * svnrelease utility
1186
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1187
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1198
        covered by the makefile.
1199
 
1200
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1201
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1202
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1203
 
1204
    * ALL Toolsets
1205
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1206
 
1207
    * Utility vcsdiff
1208
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1209
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1210
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
1218
    * Subversion Extraction
1219
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1220
      directory of the tag.
1221
 
1222
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1223
      repository.
1224
 
1225
    * Subversion Support
1226
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1227
      showing the user what to do.
1228
 
1229
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1230
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1231
      we have build support for this target.
1232
 
1233
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1234
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1235
 
1236
Internal:
1237
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1238
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1239
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1240
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Major changes:
1255
 
1256
Minor changes:
1257
    * Makefile generation
1258
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1259
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1260
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1261
      of warnings.
1262
 
1263
    * Makefile Generation
1264
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1273
Major changes:
1274
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1275
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1276
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1277
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1278
 
1279
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1280
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1281
      windows path scheme.
1282
 
1283
Minor changes:
1284
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1285
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1286
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1287
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1288
 
1289
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1290
        jats make clobber
1291
      This operates as before.
1292
 
1293
    * Utility: escrow
1294
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1295
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1296
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1297
 
1298
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1299
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1300
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1301
 
1302
    * Utility: svn : url
1303
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1304
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1305
 
1306
    * Utility: svn : import
1307
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1308
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1309
 
1310
    * Subversion Support
1311
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1312
      showing the user what to do.
1313
 
1314
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1315
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1316
      repositories.

1321
 
1322
Minor changes:
1323
    * Jats build
1324
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1325
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1326
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1327
 
1328
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1329
      command, with a sandbox.

1340
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1341
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1342
                 Can also display available branches.

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
1350
 
1351
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1352
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1353
      Modified two options:
1354
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1355
                        The named branch must not exist
1356
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1357
                        The named branch must exist
1358
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
1368
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
1369

1393
Major changes:
1394
    * Jats Version Number
1395
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
1397
      significantly.

1414
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1415
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1416
 
1417
Minor changes:
1418
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1419
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1420
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.

1422
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1423
 
1424
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1425
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1426
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1427
 
1428
    * Linux support utilities
1429
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format

1447
 
1448
    * Utility: svnrelease
1449
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1450
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1451
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1452
 
1453
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1454
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1455
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1456
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1457
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1458
 
1459
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1460
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1461
 
1462
    * Utility: sandbox
1463
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
1464
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1465
 
1466
      Subcommand: populate
1467
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1468
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1469
      sandbox.
1470
 
1471
    * Subversion Support
1472
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1473
      repository is not supported.
1474
 
1475
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1476
      a progress indication.
1477
 
1478
    * Jats Online Documentation
1479
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1480
      online documentation.
1481
 
1482
    * Generated makefiles
1483
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1533
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
1534
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
1535
 
1536

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1560
Major changes:
1561
 
1562
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1563
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1564
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1565
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1566
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1567
 
1568
    * C# Toolchain
1569

1579
 
1580
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
1581
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
1582
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1583
 
1584
    * Utility ccrelease
1585
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1586
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1587
 
1588
    * Utility: svn
1589
      Improved package import processing.
1590
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
1591
 
1592
    * Jats Utility: gen_cots

1599
      mixed ClearCase and Subversion versions.
1600
      Under windows it can invoke BeyondCompare
1601
      Under Windows and Unix it can perform a MD5 check over both directories.

1617
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1618
Major changes:
1619
 
1620
Minor changes:
1621
    * Command: jats clobber
1622
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1623
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1624
 
1625
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1626
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1627
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1628
 
1629
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1630
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1631
 
377 dpurdie 1632
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1633
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1634
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1635
 
1636
    * jats svnlabel
1637
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1638
 
1639
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1640
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1641
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1642
 
1643
    * Built Daemon support
1644
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1645
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1646

373 dpurdie 1648
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
1649
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1650
Major changes:
1651
    * GCC Toolset
1652
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1653
      New methodology is:
1654
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1655
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1656
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1657
        as the main binary.
1658
 
1659
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1660
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1661
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1662
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1663
      both worlds.
1664
 
1665
Minor changes:
1666
    * HTML Documentation
1667
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1668
 
1669
Internal changes:
1670

1676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1677
Major changes:
1678
    * Jats Sandbox
1679
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1680
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1681
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1682
 
1683
    * RIORDS Platform
1684
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

Minor changes:
1701
    * New Platform and Toolchain
371 dpurdie 1702
      Platform is RIORDS. This uses the MSP430 toolchain.
369 dpurdie 1703
      Beta release of this toolchain
1704
 
1705
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1706
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
1707
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1708
 
1709
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1710
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1711
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1712
      a vob.
1713
 
1714
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

Major changes:
1742
 
1743
Minor changes:
1744
    * Jats Utility:
1745
      Added 'ccdelete_view'. This utility will delete a Clear Case view given a
1746
      viewtag, even if the view has been deleted from disk.
1747
 
1748
    * Jats startup
1749
      Jats will report an error if started in a directory that is inaccessible
1750
      to the user. An error will also be report if jats is directed to change to
1751
      in inaccessible directory.
1752
 
1753
    * Building an ANT project.
1754
      Jats will warn if a buildfile does not have an associated depends file.

Internal:
1767
    * Makefile generation
1768
        Removed the use of the .rul file. Now generated in place.

      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
1779
      the clearcase label.
1780
 
1781
    * Subversion support

1789
Major changes:
1790
    * New toolset: ARM251
1791
 
1792
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
1793
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
1794
 
1795
Minor changes:
1796
    * HTML Help
1797
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1798
 
1799
    * jats build -noforce
1800
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1801
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1802
      be forced.
1803
 
1804
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1805
 
1806
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1807
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1808
 
1809
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1810
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1811
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1812
 
1813
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1814
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1815
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1816
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1817
 
1818
    * Utility: svnrelease
1819
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1820
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1821
 
1822
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1823
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1824
 
1825
    * Utility: svn
1826
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1827
      installed and can be used.
1828
 
1829
    * Toolset: CSharp
1830
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1831
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1832
      character.
1833
 
1834
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1835
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1836
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1837
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1838
      masking an error.
1839
 
1840
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1841
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1842
      enhancement.
1843
 
1844
    * Toolset: dafbr
1845
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
1846
 
1847

2242
      the determination of a branch.
2243
 
2244
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2245
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2246
 
2247
    * Jats build
2248
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2249
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2250
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2251
 
2252
    * Borland6 toolset
2253
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2254
      to match the documented install location of:
2255
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2256
 
2257
    * Jats build
2258
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2259
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2260
      This is a very quick operation.
2261
 
2262
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2263
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2264
 
2265
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2266
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2267
      files are only recreated if need be.
2268
 
2269
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2270
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2271
      make the package.
2272
 
2273
    * Jats sandbox
2274
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2275
 
2276
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2277
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2278
 
2279
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2280
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2281
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2282
      is performed.
2283
 
2284
Internal:
2285
    * build.pl
2286
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

2318
Major changes:
2319
 
2320
Minor changes:
2321
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2322
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2323
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2324
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2325
 
2326
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2327
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2328
 
2329
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2330
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2331
      platform builds.
2332
 
2333
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2334
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2335
      directory tree.
2336
 
2337

Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
2350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2351
Major changes:
2352
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2353
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2354
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2355
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2356
 
2357
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2358
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2359
 
2360
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2361
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2362
 
2363
      Examples:
2364
            jats upddep -show
2365
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2366
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2367
 
2368
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2369
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2370
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2371
 
2372
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2373
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2374
 
2375
Minor changes:
2376
 
2377
Internal changes:
2378
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
2379

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
2383
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2384
Major changes:
2385
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2386
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2387
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2388
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2389
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2390
      stream.
2391
 
2392
      Example:
2393
 
2394
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2395
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2396
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2397
                     );
2398
Minor changes:
2399
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2400
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2401
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2402
      directive.
2403
 
2404
    * GCC Toolkit
2405
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2406
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2407
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2408
      the point of termination.
2409
 
2410
    * Jats save_build utility
2411
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2412
      under windows.
2413
 
2414
    * Jats sandbox
2415
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2416
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2417
      in different sandboxes.
2418
 
2419
    * Jats release
2420
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2421

2427
Minor changes:
2428
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2429
      Added -locatedir=name
2430
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2431
      directory.
2432
 
2433
    * jats label utility
2434
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2435
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2436
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2437
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2438
 
2439
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2440

Major changes:
317 dpurdie 2445
 
2446
Minor changes:
2447
    * WinCe Toolsets
2448
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2449
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2450
        noExceptions            - Disable
2451
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2452
      Example:
2453
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2454
 
2455
    * Solaris targets
2456
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2457
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2458
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2459
      machine type.

2463
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2464
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2465
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2466
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2467
      project files.
2468
 
2469
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2470
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2471
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2472
 
2473
Minor changes:
2474
    * Added more internal documentation
2475
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2476
 
2477
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2478
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2479
 
2480
    * Jats save_build utility
2481
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2482
      under windows.
2483
 
2484
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2485
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2486
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2487
      libraries.
2488
 
2489
    * Solaris builds
2490
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2491
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2492
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2493
      of the build failure.
2494
 
2495
 
2496
Internal changes:
2497
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2498
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2499
 
2500
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2501
      PkgArchive topics.

2505
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2506
Major changes:
2507
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2508
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2509
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2510
      existing 32-bit builds.
2511
 
2512
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
2513
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
2514
 
2515
Minor changes:
2516
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
2517
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2518
 
2519
    * Package searching
2520
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2521
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2522
 
2523
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2524
 
2525
    * jats help
2526
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2527
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2528
 
2529
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2530
      with one of:
2531
        jats -h
2532
        jats help jats
2533
 
2534
Internal:
2535
    * cmdfile utility
2536
      Added macros:
2537
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2538
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2539
 
2540
      Corrected
2541
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
2542
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
2543
 
2544
      Extended
2545
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2546
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2547
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2548
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

2557
Internal changes
2558
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2559
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2560
      Useful side effects include:
2561
 
2562
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2563
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2564
 
2565
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2566
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2567
 
2568
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2569
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2570
        BuildPkgArchive
2571
 
313 dpurdie 2572
    * Perl Modules
2573
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2574
      release. This will:
2575
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2576
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2577
          reported by ERG.
2578
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
2586
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2587
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2588
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2589
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2590
 
2591
    * Jats label utility
2592
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2593
 
2594
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2595
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2596
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2597
 
2598
    * Jats core
2599
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2600
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2601
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
2610
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2611
      This is now fixed.
2612
 
309 dpurdie 2613
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2614
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2615
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2616
 
2617
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2618

    * Generating makefiles
2627
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2628
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2629
      an error.
2630
 
2631
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2632
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2633
 
2634
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2635
      Highly specialized directive.

Version:  2.80.0000.cr                               Released: 04-Nov-09
2640
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2641
Major changes:
2642
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2643
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2644
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2645
 
2646
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2647
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2648
 
2649
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2650
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2651
      Support includes
2652
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2653
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2654
 
2655
Minor changes:
2656
    * Build file processing
2657
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2658
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2659
 
2660
    * MOS builds
2661
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2662
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2663
 
2664
    * MOS builds
2665
      New 'known' product: PICP
2666
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2667
 
2668
    * GenerateFiles directive
2669
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2670
        under windows.
2671
 
2672
        .
2673
 
2674
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2675
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2676
 
2677
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2678
      to the output stream.
2679
 
2680
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2681
 
2682
    * Windows Shell
2683
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2684
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2685
 
2686
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2687
 
2688
    * H8S toolset
2689
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2690
 
2691
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2692
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2693
 
2694
Internal changes
2695
    * WinCe builds
2696
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2697
      content of the file.
2698
 
2699
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2700
 
2701
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2702
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

2714
Major changes:
2715
 
2716
Minor changes:
2717
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2718
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2719
      Changes are transparent to users.
2720
 
2721
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2722
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2723
      this occurs.
2724
 
2725
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2726
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2727
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2728
      automated build framework.
2729
 
2730
    * jats sandbox command
2731
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2732
      'create' command.
2733
 
2734
    * jats command aliases. Added
2735
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2736
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

2740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2741
Major changes:
2742
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2743
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2744
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2745
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2746
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2747
      will work as expected
2748
 
2749
Minor changes:
2750
    * VS2008 Toolset
2751
      Picking up incorrect config details
2752
      May result in a warning message.
2753
 
2754
    * gen_cots utility
2755
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2756
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2757
 
2758
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2759
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
2760
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

2806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2807
Major changes:
2808
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2809
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2810
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2811
 
2812
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2813
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2814
 
2815
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2816
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2817
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2818
           names cannot be changed.
2819
 
2820
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2821
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2822
 
2823
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2824
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2825
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2826
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2827
 
2828
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2829
      file.
2830
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2831
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2832
      MyPackage.dpk.
2833
 
2834
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2835
      file.
2836
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2837
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2838
      MyDll.dpr.
2839
 
2840
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2841
      file.
2842
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2843
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2844
      MyProg.dpr.
2845
 
2846
Minor changes:
2847
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2848
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2849
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2850
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2851
 
2852
    * BuildVersion directive
2853
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2854
      in a Delphi Unit.
2855
 
2856
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2857
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2858
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2859
      'know' the location of the files.
2860
 
2861
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2862
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2863
 
2864
Internal Changes:
2865
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2866
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2867
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2868
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2869
 
2870
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2871
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2872
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

287 dpurdie 2875
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2876
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2877
Major changes:
2878
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2879
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2880
      information for purely C++ builds.
2881
 
289 dpurdie 2882
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2883
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2884
 
289 dpurdie 2885
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2886
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2887
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2888
 
2889
Minor changes:
2890
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2891
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2892
 
2893
    * updatenodespec utility
2894
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2895
      Manager database.

      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
2919
 
2920
Minor changes:
2921
    * MergeLibrary directive
2922
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
2923
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
2924

2931
Minor changes:
2932
    * New command: jats make show
2933
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2934
      used in the build.
2935
 
2936
    * Escrow command
2937
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2938
 
2939
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2940
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2941
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2942
 
2943
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2944
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2945
 
2946

277 dpurdie 2948
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2949
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2950
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2951
 
279 dpurdie 2952
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2953
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2954
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2955
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2956
 
2957
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2958
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2959
 
2960
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2961
 
2962
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2963
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2964
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2965
 
2966
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2967
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2968
        processed.
2969
 
2970
      Removed the '-delete' option
2971
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2972
 
277 dpurdie 2973
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2974
    * Sandbox command
2975
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2976
 
2977
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2978
      target from consideration in the build set.
2979
 
2980
    * MCR Toolset
2981
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2982
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2983
 
2984
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2985
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2986
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2987
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2988
 
2989
    * Jats run_test command
2990
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2991
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2992
 
2993
    * descpkg file
2994
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2995
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2996
 
2997
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2998
     Now contains build trace information
2999
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3000
 
3001
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3002
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3003
     it contains 'jar' files.
3004
 
3005
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3006
 
3007
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3008
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3009
 
3010
   * BuildVersion directive
3011
     Form:
3012
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');

3181
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3182
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3183

3206
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3207
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3208
 
3209
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

Major changes:
3436
 
3437
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
3438
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3439
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3440
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3441
 
3442
Minor changes:
3443
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3444
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
3445
 
3446
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
3447
      some windows tools.

3451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3452
Major changes:
3453
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
3454
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3455
 
3456
      New platforms:
3457
        CSHARP2005
3458
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3459
         Support extends to allow:
3460
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3461
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3462
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3463
 
3464
        VS2005
3465
         Support extends to allow:
3466
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3467
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3468
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3469
 
3470
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3471
      through a version selector:
3472
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3473
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3474
 
3475
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3476
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3477
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3478
 
3479
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3480
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3481
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3482
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3483
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3484
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3485
          under VS2005.
3486
 
3487
Minor changes:
3488
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
3491
 
3492
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3493
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3494
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3495
 
3496
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3497
 
3498
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3499
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3500
 
3501
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3502
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3503
      a minimal value of perl.
3504
 
3505
      Removed excessive require statements.
3506
 
3507
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3508
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3509
      Include JATS specific files for
3510
        1) Windows
3511
        2) Linux
3512
 
3513
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3514
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3515
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3516
      machines.
3517
 
3518
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3519
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3520
 
3521
    * JATS Environment
3522
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3523
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3524
 
3525
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3526
      wrapper scripts.
3527
 
3528
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3529
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3530
      Spell check help and code.

      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
3562
      reviewing a new package.
3563
 
3564
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3565
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are

3583
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3584
  * New toolset and platform
3585
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3586
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3587
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3588
    this platform.
3589
 
3590
Minor changes:
3591
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3592
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3593
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3594
    work.
3595
 
3596
  * Jats utility: release
3597
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3598
    published to dpkg_archive.
3599
 
249 dpurdie 3600
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3601
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3602
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3603
    supported for ANT builds.
3604
 
3605
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3606
        releasemanager.releasename
3607
        releasemanager.projectname
3608
 
3609
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3610
    tagged data item of the form
3611
 
3612
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3613
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3614
 
3615
  * Mug File Generation
3616
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3617
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3618
 
3619
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3620
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3621
    required.
3622
 
3623
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3624
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3625
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3626
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3627
    the files in order to use them.
3628
 
3629
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3630
    locate the file.
3631
 
3632
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3633
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3634
 
3635
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3636
        * CSharp
3637
        * Properties
3638
        * WinRC
3639
 
3640
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3641
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3642
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3643
    Value is correctly assigned.

3648
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3649
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3650
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3651
 
3652
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3653
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3654
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3655
 
3656
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3657
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3658
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3659
 
3660
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3661
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3662
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3663
 
3664
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3665
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3666
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3667
    correct.
3668
 
3669
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3670
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3671
 
3672
Minor changes:
3673
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3674
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3675
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3676
 
3677
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3678
    This will simplify new user setup.
3679
 
3680
  * All Unix Toolsets
3681
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3682
    on unix systems
3683
 
3684
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3685
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3686
    on some Solaris Machines.
3687
 
3688
  * JATS -version=<version>
3689
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3690
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3691

3738
    mode.
3739
 
3740
  * JATS makefiles
3741
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3742
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3743
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3744
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3745
                            SetList directive.
3746
 
3747

3756
  * JATS buildfile processing
3757
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
3758
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
3759
    of JATS.
3760

3797
 
3798
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
3799
      can have production (PIC) components.
3800
 
3801
    * Utility command: jats abt
3802
      Parse and use -buildfile=xxx option
3803
 
3804
    * Utility command: jats extract -extractfiles
3805
      The extractfiles option will now duplicate empty directories
3806
 
3807
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
3808
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
3809
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.

3848
    * MOS Compiler
3849
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3850
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3851
 
3852
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3853
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3854
      descpkg files to be copied.
3855
 
3856

3891
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3892
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3893
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3894
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3895
 
3896
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3897
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3898
 
3899
    * Jats wrapper
3900
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3901
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3902

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3906
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3907
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3908
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3909
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3910
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3911
 
3912
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3913
 
3914
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3915
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3916
 
3917
    * Running Jats
3918
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3919
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3920
      This may affect some windows developers.
3921
 
3922
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3923
      Future versions will generate an error.
3924
 
3925
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3926
 
3927
Minor changes:
3928
    * Perl Version Check
3929
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3930
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3931
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3932
 
3933
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3934
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3935
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3936
      build.
3937
 
3938
    * Jats Internals
3939
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3940
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3941
 
3942
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3943
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3944
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3945
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3946
      process.
3947
 
3948
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3949
      Only works under Windows.
3950
 
3951
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3952
 
3953
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3954
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3955
 
3956
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3957
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3958
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3959
 
3960
    * Jats eprog
3961
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3962
      directory.
3963
 
3964
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3965
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3966
      build metrics.
3967

Major changes:
3972
 
3973
Minor changes:
3974
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3975
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3976
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3977
      automated build system. New options are:
3978
        -pname=Package_Name
3979
        -pversion=Package_Version
3980
 
3981
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3982
      transferring the package. New options are:
3983
        -test
3984
 
3985
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3986
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3987
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3988
 
3989
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3990
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3991
 
3992
    * Solaris Toolset
3993
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3994
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3995
      programs are still supported.

4000
Major changes:
4001
 
4002
Minor changes:
4003
    * WINCE toolsets
4004
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4005
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4006
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4007
      when header files cannot be found.
4008
 
4009
    * GenerateFiles directive
4010
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4011
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4012
      that are difficult to solve.
4013
 
4014
    * MakePerlModule directive
4015
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4016
      to the the module builder.
4017
 
4018
    * Jats Tool: label
4019
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4020
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4021
      -dirs=xxx options.
4022
 
4023
    * Jats Tool: release
4024
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4025
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4026
 
4027
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4028
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4029
 
4030
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4031
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4032
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4033
 
4034
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4040
Major changes:
4041
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
4042
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
4043
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
4044
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
4045
 
4046
Minor changes:
4047
    * label utility
4048
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
4049
 
4050
    * make package and install operations
4051
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
4052
      transfer.
4053
 
4054
    * make clean up
4055
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4056
 
4057
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4058
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4059
      minor file transformations such as:
4060
        Copy, with optional rename
4061
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4062
        Perform simple TAG replacement
4063
 
4064
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
4065
 
4066
    * jats release utility
4067
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4068
      in place.
4069
 
4070
    * escrow utility
4071
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
4072
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Major changes:
4078
 
4079
Minor changes:
4080
    * Makefile generation
4081
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4082
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4083
      generate phase early.

4088
Major changes:
4089
 
4090
Minor changes:
4091
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4092
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4093
 
4094
    * Makefile generation
4095
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4096
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4097
 
4098
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4099
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4100
 
4101
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4102
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4103
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4104
 
4105
    * jats_rewrite utility
4106
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4107
 
4108
    * jats escrow utility
4109
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4110
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4111
 
4112
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4113
      inconsistent packages.
4114
 
4115
    * jats make help
4116
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4117
      available within the current build.
4118
 
4119
    * jats makefiles
4120
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4121
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4122
 
4123
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4124
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4125
 
4126
    * gcc toolset
4127
      SharedLibries.
4128
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4129
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4130
 
4131
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4132
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4133
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4134
 
4135
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4136
        New options:
4137
            --MultiScan
4138
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4139
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4140
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4145
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4146
Major changes:
4147
 
4148
Minor changes:
4149
    PackageLib directive
4150
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4151
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4152
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4153
 
4154
    MakefileGenerate directive
4155
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4156
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4157
 
4158
    Multiple Parent detection
4159
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4160
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4161
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4162
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4163
 
4164
    Solaris Toolset
4165
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4166
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4167
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4168
    link.
4169
 
4170
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4171
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4172
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4173
 
4174
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4175
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4176
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4177
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4182
Major changes:
4183
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4184
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4185
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4186
 
4187
    Summary of changes:
4188
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4189
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4190
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4191
          flexibility.
4192
 
4193
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4194
 
4195
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4196
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4197
          interface directory and associated build information.
4198
 
4199
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4200
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4201
          than one second.
4202
 
4203
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4204
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4205
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4206
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4207
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4208
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4209
 
4210
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4211
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4212
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4213
 
4214
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4215
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4216
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4217
          building them.
4218
 
4219
        - Detection of build file changes
4220
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4221
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4222
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4223
 
4224
        - Quieter make output
4225
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4226
 
4227
 
4228
Minor changes:
4229
    MakeAnt Directive
4230
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4231
 
4232
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4233
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4234
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4235
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4236
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4237
 
4238
    CSHARP toolset
4239
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4240

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4248
    are generated.
4249
 
4250
    MakeAnt
4251
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4252
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4253
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4254
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4255
 
4256
    MCR platform

4265
Minor changes:
4266
    MakeAnt directive extended
4267
    New option: --PackageBase
4268
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4269
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4270
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4271
 
4272
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4273
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4274
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4275
        package image being created.

4295
 
4296
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4297
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4298
 
4299
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4300
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4301
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4302
 
4303
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4304
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4305
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4306

4333
Minor changes:
4334
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4335
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4336
 
4337
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4338
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4339
      last.
4340
 
4341
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4342
 
4343
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4344
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4345
 
4346
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4347
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4348
 
4349
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4350
 
4351
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4352
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4353
 
4354
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4355
 
4356
 
4357
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4358
           with the --System option
4359
 
4360
    * LMOS target platform

4366
Major changes:
4367
 
4368
Minor changes:
4369
    * Solaris Toolset
4370
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
4371
      dependent packages.
4372
 
4373
    * RunTest operation
4374
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4375
 
4376
    * Csharp toolkit
4377

4380
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
4381
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4382
Major changes:
4383
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4384
 
4385
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4386
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4387
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4388
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4389
      path.
4390
 
4391
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4392
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4393
      reproducible.
4394
 
4395
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4396
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4397
 
4398
      There are several aspects to the change
4399
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4400
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4401
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4402
 
4403
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4404
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4405
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4406
          controlled separately.
4407
 
4408
Minor changes:
4409
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4410
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4411
        Remove duplicates
4412
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4413

4417
Major changes:
4418
 
4419
Minor changes:
4420
    * Makefile sanity test
4421
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4422
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4423
 
4424
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4425
      x86 machine.
4426
 
4427
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4428
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4429
 
4430
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4431
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4433
Major changes:
4434
    * RunTest directive
4435
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4436
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4437
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4438
 
4439
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4440
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4441
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4442
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4443
 
4444
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4445
        builder within the current toolset.
4446
 
4447
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4448
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4449
 
4450
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4451
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4452
      containing the RunTest directive.
4453
 
4454
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4455
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4456
 
4457
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4458
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4459
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4460
 
4461
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4462
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4463
                            P or D suffix.
4464
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4465
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4466
 
4467
Minor changes:
4468
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4469
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4470
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4471
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4472
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4473
 
4474
    * Save Build Utility
4475
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4476
      used in a ripple build.
4477
 
4478
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4479
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4480
 
4481
    * Release Utility
4482
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4483
      when an error is encountered.
4484
 
4485
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4486
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4487
 
4488
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4489
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4490
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4491
 
4492
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4493
      before the makefiles are created.
4494
 
4495
    * TestProg directive
4496
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4497
 
4498
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4499
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4500

4504
Major changes:
4505
    * New build target
4506
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4507
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4508
 
4509
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4510
            DEVLINUX
4511
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4512
 
4513
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4514
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4515
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4516
 
4517
Minor changes:
4518
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4519
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4520
 
4521
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4522
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4523
 
4524
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4525
      and .cs files.
4526
 
4527
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4528
      thing.
4529
 
4530
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4531
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4532
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4533
      were it places temp files.
4534
 
4535
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4536
      interaction with other builds.
4537
 
4538
    * Release utility command
4539
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4540
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4541
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
4558
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4559
 
4560

Version: JATS_2.65.2                                Released: 06-Jun-07
4588
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4589
Major changes:
4590
 
4591
Minor changes:
4592
  * WINCE Support
4593
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4594
 
4595
  * Removed the following targets
4596
        TP5600
4597
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4598
        TP5600_EMU
4599
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4600
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4601
 
4602
  * Deployment
4603
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4604
 
4605
  * build.pl
4606
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4607
 
4608
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4609
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4610
 
4611
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4612
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4613
    build.
4614
 
4615
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4616
 
4617
  * Tool: escrow
4618
     New features
4619
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4620
     are not in the SBOM.
4621
 
4622
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4623
 
4624
     Specify packages to be ignored.
4625
 
4626
 
4627
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4628
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
4629
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4630
Major changes:
4631
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4632
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4633
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4634
 
4635
  * GenerateFiles
4636
    Added the options:
4637
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4638
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4639
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4640
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4641
 
4642
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4643
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4644
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4645
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4646
                                  required.
4647
 
4648
 
4649
Minor changes:
4650
  * GenerateFile directive
4651
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4652
 
4653
  * GCC Toolset
4654
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4655
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4656
    be rebuilt.
4657
 
4658
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4659
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4660
 
4661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4662
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4663
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4664
Major changes:
4665
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4666
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4667
    environment variables.
4668
 
4669
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4670
            moved.
4671
 
4672
    This will affect users that:
4673
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4674
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4675
 
4676
        2) Use the ABT system
4677
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4678
           the required configuration
4679
 
4680
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4681
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4682
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4683
    Windows
4684
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
4685
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
4686
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
5710 dpurdie 4687
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 4688
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
4689
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
4690
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
5710 dpurdie 4691
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 4692
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4693
 
4694
 
4695
  * New build platforms
4696
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4697
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4698
 
4699
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4700
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4701
 
4702
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4703
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4704
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4705
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4706
 
4707
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4708
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4709
    release.
4710
 
4711
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4712
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4713
 
4714
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4715
    need to be converted.
4716
 
4717
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4718
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4719
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4720
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4721
    used for different targets platforms.
4722
 
4723
  * Sandbox support
4724
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4725
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4726
 
4727
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4728
 
4729
Minor changes:
4730
 
4731
 
4732
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4733
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4734
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4735
Major changes:
4736
  * MakeAnt directive
4737
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4738
 
4739
    New options
4740
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4741
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4742
 
4743
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4744
    run_unit_tests phase.
4745
 
4746
  * Sandbox support
4747
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4748
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4749
 
4750
Minor changes:
4751
  * jats build
4752
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4753
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4754
 
4755
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4756
 
4757
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4758
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4759
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4760
 
4761
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4762
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4763
 
4764
  * JATS.BAT
4765
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4766
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4767
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4768
 
4769
  * jats label
4770
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4771
 
4772
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4773
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4774
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4775
Major changes:
4776
  * New build platform:
4777
        LMOS_TP5600
4778
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4779
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4780
 
4781
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4782
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4783
    describe the group of platforms.
4784
 
4785
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4786
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4787
    build these targets.
4788
 
4789
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4790
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4791
 
4792
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4793
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4794
 
4795
  * New build platform: WINCE
4796
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4797
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4798
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4799
 
4800
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4801
            WCEIT3000
4802
            WCEPA961
4803
            WCEPA962
4804
            WCEPCM7220
4805
            WCEPSION_420
4806
            WCEPSPC_arm
4807
            WCEPSPC_emu
4808
            WCEX86A420
4809
            WCEX86A500
4810
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4811
 
4812
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4813
 
4814
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4815
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4816
    that contain packaging directives.
4817
 
4818
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4819
    very unusual configurations.
4820
 
4821
Minor changes:
4822
  * Directive: PackageFile
4823
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4824
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4825
    an '='.
4826
 
4827
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4828
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4829
 
4830
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4831
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4832
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4833
 
4834
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4835
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4836
 
4837
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4838
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4839
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4840
Major changes:
4841
 
4842
  * JATS release command
4843
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4844
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4845
 
4846
    Rules are:
4847
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4848
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4849
                            File will be placed on a branch
4850
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4851
                            New directory will branch
4852
 
4853
Minor changes:
4854
  * JATS release command
4855
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4856
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4857
 
4858
  * JATS label command
4859
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4860
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4861
 
4862
  * JATS make
4863
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4864
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4865
    was re-packaged.
4866
 
4867
  * JATS escrow
4868
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4869
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4870
 
4871
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4872
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4873
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4874
 
4875
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4876
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4877
    interface directory.
4878
 
4879
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4880
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4881
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4882
    directory as seen by the package.
4883
 
4884
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4885
 
4886
  * JAVA 6
4887
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4888
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4889
 
4890
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4891
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4892
 
4893
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4894
 
4895
  * Jats command: vars
4896
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4897
    These indicate potential problems.
4898
 
4899
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4900
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4901
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4902
Major changes:
4903
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4904
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4905
    libarry is also created.
4906
 
4907
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4908
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4909
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4910
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4911
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4912
    information contained within the file.
4913
 
4914
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4915
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4916
 
4917
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4918
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4919
 
4920
  * Building Perl Modules
4921
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4922
    documentation on the build machine.
4923
 
4924
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4925
 
4926
Minor changes:
4927
  * jats create_dpkg
4928
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4929
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4930
 
4931
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4932
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4933
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4934
Major changes:
4935
  * JATS JAVA build target
4936
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4937
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4938
 
4939
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4940
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4941
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4942
    is then picked up as the default version.
4943
 
4944
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4945
    build.pl file.
4946
 
4947
Minor changes:
4948
  * jats release
4949
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4950
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4951
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4952
 
4953
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4954
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4955
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4956
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4957
    the name of the view.
4958
 
4959
  * GenerateFiles directive
4960
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4961
 
4962
  * MOS Toolset
4963
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4964
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4965
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4966
 
4967
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );

4972
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4973
Major changes:
4974
 
4975
Minor changes:
4976
  * JATS environment
4977
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4978
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4979
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4980
 
4981
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4982
 
4983
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4984
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4985
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4986
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4987
    to be packaged.
4988
 
4989
  * Generated makefiles
4990
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4991
 
4992
  * Generating MOS THX files
4993
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4994
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4995
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4996
 
4997
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4998
 
4999
  * JATS release
5000
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5001
 
5002
  * JATS extract
5003
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5004
 
5005
  * JATS Toolset
5006
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5007
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5008

5012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5013
Major changes:
5014
 
5015
Minor changes:
5016
  * jats label
5017
    Added a -vob=name option
5018
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5019
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5020
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5021
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5022
 
5023
    Added a -user=name option
5024
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5025
    label to the named user.
5026
 
5027
  * jats release
5028
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5029
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5030
 
5031
  * JATS build.pl
5032
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5033
    ie:
5034
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

5038
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5040
Major changes:
5041
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5042
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5043
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5044
    the makefile internals. ie:
5045
        --Var(BuildName)
5046
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5047
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5048
 
5049
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5050
 
5051
  * GenerateFiles
5052
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5053
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5054
 
5055
  * BuildPlatforms
5056
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5057
 
5058
Minor changes:
5059
  * GCC Toolset
5060
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5061
 
5062
Internal changes:
5063
  * GenerateFiles
5064
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5065
 
5066
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5067
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5068
 
5069
 
5070
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5071
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5072
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5073
Major changes:
5074
  * Caching JATS
5075
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5076
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5077
 
5078
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5079
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5080
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5081
 
5082
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5083
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5084
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5085
 
5086
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5087
 
5088
Minor changes:
5089
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5090
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5091
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5092
 
5093
  * jats build
5094
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5095
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5096
    processed by the build.
5097
 
5098
  * jats build
5099
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5100
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5101
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5102
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5103
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5104
 
5105
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5106
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5107
    Path is not specified.
5108
 
5109
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5110
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5111
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5112
        --Dir=$Pinc
5113
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5114
 
5115
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5116
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5117
    Windows platform.
5118
 
5119
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5120
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5121
            by 'purecov.
5122
 
5123
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5124
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5125
 
5126
        - OPTIONS=purify
5127
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5128
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5129
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5130

5134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5135
Major changes:
5136
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5137
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5138
    Example:
5139
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5140
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5141
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5142
 
5143
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5144
    been determined.
5145
 
5146
Minor changes:
5147
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5148
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5149
    located at build-time.
5150
 
5151
  * Unix based systems
5152
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5153
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5154
 
5155
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5156
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5157
    driver being built.
5158

5171
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5172
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5173
 
5174
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5175
    dependancy information within a package.
5176
 
5177
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5178
    messages.

5190
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5191
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5192
                      be run on every invocation.
5193
 
5194
 
5195

5200
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5201
  There are two mechanism:
5202
 
5203
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5204
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5205
 
5206
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5207
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5208
 
5209
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5210
  default.

5218
  * SunWorks Toolset
5219
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5220
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5221
    It is based on machine type.
5222
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5223
 
5224
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5225
 
5226
Minor changes:
5227

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5254
 
5255
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5256
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5257
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5258
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5259
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5260
 
5261
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5262
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5263
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232

        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5265
 
5266
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5267
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

Minor changes:
5282
  * JATS wrapper script
5283
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5284
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5285
    to setup links to system programs.
5286

5326
 
5327
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5328
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5329
    Theses are:
5330
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5331
        SOLARIS_AMD
5332
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5333
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.

5351
    messages
5352
 
5353
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5354
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5355
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5356
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5357

5363
Minor changes:
5364
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5365
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5366
    library without creating the body of the library:
5367
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5368
 
5369
 
5370
  * MOS toolsets
5371
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5372
    library without creating the body of the library:
5373
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5374
 
5375
  * JATS BIN directories
5376
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5377
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5378
    using autoconf.
5379
 
5380
  * Generate directive
5381
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5382
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5383
 
5384
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5385

5388
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5389
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5390
Major changes:
5391
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5392
    Initial release.
5393
 
5394
Minor changes:
5395
 
5396
 
5397
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5398
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5399
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5400
Major changes:
5401
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5402
    Initial release.
5403
 
5404
  * Packaging directives
5405
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5406
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5407
 
5408
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5409
        SOLARIS
5410
        WIN32
5411
 
5412
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5413
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5414
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5415
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5416
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5417
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5418
 
5419
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5420
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5421
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5422
 
5423
 
5424
Minor changes:
5425
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5426
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5427
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5428
 
5429
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5430
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5431
    location
5432
 
5433
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5434
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5435
 
5436
  * Utility genrc
5437
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5438
 
5439
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5440
    Added option: -new
5441
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5442
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5443
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5444
 
5445
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5446
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5447
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5448
 
5449
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5450
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5451
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5452
 
5453
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5454
   features - in a uniform manner.
5455
 
5456
 
5457
Internal Changes:
5458
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5459
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5460
 
5461
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5462
        1) Platform information available at build time
5463
        2) Dynamic platform names
5464
 
5465
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5466
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5467
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5468
 
5469
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5470
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5471
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5472
 
5473
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5474
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5475
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5476
    needed.
5477
 
5478
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5479
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5480
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5481
    files from all of these.
5482

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5484
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
5485
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5486
Major changes:
5487
 
5488
Minor changes:
5489
  * WinCE toolset
5490
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
5491
 
5492
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5493
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5494
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5495
Major changes:
5496
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5497
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5498
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5499
 
5500
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5501
 
5502
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5503
    the operations.
5504
 
5505
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5506
 
5507
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5508
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5509
 
5510
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5511
 
5512
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5513
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5514
 
5515
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5516
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5517
    Extended the built-in help
5518
    Added useful error messages
5519
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5520
 
5521
  * WinCE toolset
5522
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5523
 
5524
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5525
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5526
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5527
 
5528
Minor changes:
5529
  * JATS wrapper script
5530
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5531
    the command line.
5532
 
5533
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5534
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5535
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5536
 
5537
Internal Changes:
5538
  * Common Error Reporting
5539
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5540
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5541
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5542
    level.
5543
 
5544
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5545
    displayed.
5546
 
5547
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5548
 
5549
  * Added JatsSystem module
5550
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5551
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5552
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
5553
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5554
Major changes:
5555
 
5556
Minor changes:
5557
  * BR Compiler toolset
5558
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5559
    .def files to include other files.
5560
 
5561
  * IAR toolset
5562
    Added AT7272 support
5563
 
5564
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5565
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5566
 
5567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5568
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
5569
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5570
Major changes:
5571
 
5572
Minor changes:
5573
  * BR Compiler toolset
5574
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5575
    use.
5576
 
5577
 
5578
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5579
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5580
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5581
Major changes:
5582
 
5583
Minor changes:
5584
  * Mictotec toolset
5585
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5586
    builds.
5587
 
5588
  * JATS Core
5589
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5590
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5591
    behaviour.
5592
 
5593
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5594
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5595
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5596
Major changes:
5597
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5598
    Deployment package will be affected.
5599
 
5600
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5601
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5602
 
5603
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5604
 
5605
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5606
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5607
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5608
    packages.
5609
 
5610
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5611
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5612
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5613
 
5614
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5615
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5616
 
5617
Minor changes:
5618
  * SubDir directive
5619
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5620
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5621
 
5622
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5623
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5624
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5625
    of the file usage.
5626
 
5627
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5628
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5629
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5630
 
5631
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5632
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5633
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5634
 
5635
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5636
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5637
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5638
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5639
 
5640
 
5641
Internal Changes:
5642
  * Code refactor
5643
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5644
 
5645
  * Deployment utilities
5646
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5647
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5648
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5649
    the module can locate the file.
5650
 
5651
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5652
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5653
 
5654
  * JATS core
5655
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5656
 
5657
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5658
 
5659
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5660
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5661
    through the use of environment variables.
5662
 
5663
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5664
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5665
 
5666
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5667
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5668
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5669
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5670
 
5671
  * Make environment
5672
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5673
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5674
 
5675
 
5676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5677
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5679
Major changes:
5680
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5681
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5682
 
5683
 
5684
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5685
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5687
 
5688
Not Released.
5689
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5690
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5691
 
5692
 
5693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5694
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5695
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5696
Major changes:
5697
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5698
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5699
    radically replaced.
5700
 
5701
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5702
    Usage:
5703
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5704
 
5705
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5706
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5707
    this solution:
5708
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5709
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5710
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5711
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5712
 
5713
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5714
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5715
    order to work.
5716
 
5717
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5718
    reduced functionality.
5719
 
5720
 
5721
Minor changes:
5722
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5723
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5724
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5725
 
5726
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5727
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5728
    within the makefiles.
5729
        Options:
5730
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5731
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5732
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5733
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5734
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5735
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5736
        Useage:
5737
 
5738
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5739
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5740
 
5741
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5742
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5743
    is not in the current directory.
5744
 
5745
  * Jats Command: ant'
5746
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5747
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5748
 
5749
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5750
 
5751
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5752
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5753
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5754
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5755
 
5756
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5757
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5758
    Thus
5759
 
5760
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5761
 
5762
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5763
 
5764
 
5765

5766
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5767
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5768
Major changes:
5769
 
5770
Minor changes:
5771
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5772
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5773
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5774
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5775
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5776
 
5777
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5778
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5779
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5780
 
5781
Internal changes:
5782
  * JATS toolsets
5783
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5784
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5785
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5786
 
5787
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5788
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5789
 
5790
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5791
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5792
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5793
Major changes:
5794
  * Jats command: etool
5795
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5796
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5797
 
5798
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5799
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5800
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5801
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5802
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5803
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5804

5809
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5810
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5811
Major changes:
5812
  * JATS environment variables
5813
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5814
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5815
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5816
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5817
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5818
 
5819
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5820
              Remote repository
5821
 
5822
    Added GBE_DPLY
5823
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5824
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5825
 
5826
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5827
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5828
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5829
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5830
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5831
 
5832
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5833
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5834
 
5835
 
5836
Minor changes:
5837
  * JATS utility: build
5838
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5839
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5840
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5841
 
5842
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5843
    Ensure label is not locked
5844
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5845
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5846
 
5847
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5848
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5849
    to a specific type of build.
5850
 
5851
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5852
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5853
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5854
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5855
 
5856
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5857
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5858
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5859
 
5860
  * JATS utility: release
5861
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5862
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5863
 
5864
  * JATS utility: label
5865
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5866
    when it is being created.
5867
 
5868
Internal Changes
5869
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5870
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5871
 
5872
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5873
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5874
 
5875
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5876
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5877
    different results.
5878
 
5879
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5880
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5881
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5882
 
5883
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5884
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5885
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5886
Major changes:
5887
 
5888
  * MCR toolset
5889
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5890
 
5891
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5892
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5893
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5894
Major changes:
5895
  * WIN32 utilities
5896
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5897
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5898
 
5899
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5900
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5901
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5902
 
5903
Minor changes:
5904
  * BuildVersion
5905
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5906
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5907
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5908
 
5909
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5910
 
5911
  * Unix Builds
5912
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5913
    library or a shared library.
5914
 
5915
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5916
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5917
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5918
    start with 'lib'.
5919
 
5920
  * BuildPkgArchive
5921
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5922
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5923
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5924
 
5925
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5926
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5927
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5928
Major changes:
5929
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5930
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5931
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5932
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5933
    being manually maintained.
5934
 
5935
 
5936
Minor changes:
5937
  * MakeAnt directive
5938
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5939
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5940
    supports ANT builds.
5941
 
5942
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5943
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5944
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5945
 
5946
  * Label utility
5947
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5948
    files to be labeled.
5949
 
5950
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5951
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5952
    on Solaris.
5953
 
5954
  * Generated makefiles
5955
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5956
    nothing.
5957
 
5958
  * MOS Toolset
5959
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5960
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5961
    modules.
5962
 
5963
  * Utility: gen_cots
5964
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5965
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5966
 
5967
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5968
 
5969
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5970
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5971
 
5972
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5973
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5974
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5975
Major changes:
5976
  None
5977
 
5978
Minor changes:
5979
  * DEVI addressed
5980
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 5981
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 5982
 
5983
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5984
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5985
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5986
 
5987
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5988
 
5989
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5990
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5991
 
5992
  * RunTest directive
5993
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5994
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5995
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5996
 
5997
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5998
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5999
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6000
    packaged under JATS
6001
 
6002
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6003
          supported within JATS.
6004
 
6005
  * Jats utility wrapper
6006
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6007
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6008
 
6009
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6010
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6011
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6012
 
6013
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6014
    Eg: jats ant
6015
 
6016
  * Jats utility wrapper
6017
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6018
 
5710 dpurdie 6019
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6020
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6021
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6022
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6023
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6024
 
5710 dpurdie 6025
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6026
    expect a build.pl file.
6027
 
6028
  * Jats utility wrapper
6029
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6030
 
6031
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6032
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6033
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6034
 
6035
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6036
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6037
 
6038
  * Build files
6039
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6040
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6041
 
6042
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6043
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6044
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6045
Major changes:
6046
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6047
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6048
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6049
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6050
 
6051
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6052
 
6053
Minor changes:
6054
  * None
6055
 
6056
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6057
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6058
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6059
Major changes:
6060
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6061
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6062
    ie:
6063
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6064
 
6065
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6066
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6067
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6068
    environments are compatible.
6069
 
6070
 
6071
Minor changes:
6072
  * BuildName option
6073
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6074
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6075
 
6076
  * jats.bat
6077
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6078
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6079
 
6080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6081
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6083
Major changes:
6084
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6085
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6086
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6087
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6088
 
6089
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6090
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6091
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6092
 
6093
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6094
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6095
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6096
 
6097
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6098
    transferred.
6099
 
6100
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6101
    See notes below.
6102
 
6103
  * WIN32 toolset
6104
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6105
    correctly.
6106
 
6107
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6108
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6109
 
6110
  * BuildVersion
6111
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6112
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6113
    other langauges as needed.
6114
 
6115
 
6116
Minor changes:
6117
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6118
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6119
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6120
    version strings.
6121
 
6122
  * GenerateFiles directive
6123
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6124
    package or an imported package.
6125
 
6126
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6127
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6128
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6129
 
6130
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6131
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6132
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6133
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6134
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6135
 
6136
Internal Changes
6137
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6138
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6139
    of utilities.
6140
 
6141
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6142
    functions.
6143
 
6144
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6145
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6146
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6147
Major changes:
6148
  * Generated makefiles
6149
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6150
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6151
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6152
 
6153
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6154
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6155
    incorrectly processing:
6156
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6157
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6158
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6159
    confused.
6160
 
6161
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6162
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6163
    The construct
6164
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6165
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6166
    then it works.
6167
 
6168
  * MakeAnt directive
6169
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6170
 
6171
    This option has the following effects
6172
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6173
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6174
 
6175
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6176
           early - in the generated files phase.
6177
 
6178
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6179
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6180
 
6181
 
6182
Minor changes:
6183
  * JATS post-installation script
6184
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6185
 
6186
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6187
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6188
    windows.
6189
 
6190
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6191
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6192
 
6193
  * Jats wrapper script
6194
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6195
        1) Contain spaces
6196
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6197
 
6198
  * Toolset
6199
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6200
 
6201
  * JAVA toolset
6202
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6203
    directive:
6204
 
6205
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6206
 
6207
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6208
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6209
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6210
 
6211
  * GCC Toolset
6212
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6213
 
6214
  * Makefile generation
6215
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6216
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6217
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6218
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6219
    package could not be used.
6220
 
6221
  * Unit Tests
6222
    The following environment variables are set:
6223
 
6224
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6225
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6226
 
6227
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6228
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6229
 
6230
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6231
 
6232
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6233
 
6234

Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6237
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6238
Major changes:
6239
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6240
 
6241
    Special features of this toolset.
6242
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6243
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6244
       incorporated within the target image.
6245
 
6246
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6247
       --Set=Name=Value
6248
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6249
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6250
 
6251
       --Ref=name
6252
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6253
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6254
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6255
                will be taken from the build version number.
6256
 
6257
Minor changes:
6258
  * MOS Toolset
6259
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6260
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6261
    packaged.
6262
 
6263
  * Src directive
6264
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6265
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6266
    specifier.
6267
 
6268
  * WIN32 runtime support
6269
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6270
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6271
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6272
 
6273
Internal:
6274
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6275
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6276
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6277

6279
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6280
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6281
Major changes:
6282
    * BuildAlias directive
6283
      Added options.
6284
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6285
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6286
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6287
                          targets.
6288
      Eg:
6289
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6290
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6291
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6292
 
6293
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6294
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6295
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6296
 
6297
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6298
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6299
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6300
 
6301
 
6302
Minor changes:
6303
  * Label utility
6304
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6305
    build.pl file
6306
 
6307
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6308
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6309
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6310
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6311
    --FilterIn option.
6312
 
6313
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6314
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6315
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6316
 
6317
  * Location of descpkg file
6318
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6319
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6320
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6321
 
6322
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6323
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6324
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6325
Major changes:
6326
  * RunTest directive
6327
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6328
    Additional options
6329
      --CopyIn=file
6330
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6331
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6332
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6333
        the test area.
6334
 
6335
    Additional operations
6336
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6337
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6338
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6339
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6340
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6341
    Allows flags:
6342
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6343
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6344
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6345
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6346
 
6347
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6348
    existence is tested.
6349
 
6350
  * Packaging Directives
6351
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6352
    such as LMOS.
6353
 
6354
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6355
 
6356
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6357
 
6358
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6359
 
6360
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6361
 
6362
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6363
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6364
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6365
 
6366
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6367
 
6368
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6369
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6370
 
6371
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6372
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6373
 
6374
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6375
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6376
 
6377
Minor changes:
6378
  * Script directive
6379
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6380
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6381
 
6382
  * JATS environment
6383
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6384
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6385
    the JATS wrapper script.
6386
 
6387
  * Label utility
6388
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6389
    There are three modes of operation:
6390
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6391
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6392
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6393

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6396
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6397
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6398
Major changes:
6399
 
6400
Minor changes:
6401
  * label utility
6402
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6403
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6404
 
6405
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6406
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6407
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6408
      --ProgLoader=name
6409
 
6410
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6411
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6412
    Options to do this are:
6413
        --TreeDir=name
6414
        --FilterOut=regexp
6415
        --FilterIn=regexp
6416
        --StripDir
6417
 
6418
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6419
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6420
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6421
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6422
 
6423
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6424
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6425
 
6426
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6427
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6428
 
6429
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6430
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6431
 
6432
 
6433
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6434
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6435
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6436
Major changes:
6437
    * Make commands
6438
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6439
 
6440
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6441
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6442
 
6443
    * Label utility
6444
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6445
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6446
 
6447
Minor changes:
6448
    * Toolsets
6449
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6450
      variables and overrides.
6451
 
6452
      The make_init target is always run.
6453
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6454
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6455
 
6456
    * Deployment
6457
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6458
      with deployment operations.
6459
 
6460
    * Release utility
6461
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6462
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6463
      restricted by options within the build.
6464
 
6465
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6466
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6467
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6468
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6469
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6470
 
6471
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6472
      directives.
6473
 
6474
    * MakeProject directive
6475
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6476
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6477
 
6478
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6479
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6480
      is preserved.
6481
 
6482
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6483
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6484
      statements.
6485
 
6486
    * Mugfile generation
6487
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6488
      be placed in the target package.
6489
 
6490
 
6491
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6492
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6494
Major changes:
6495
    * BuildVersion directive
6496
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6497
      number as well as a patch number.
6498
 
6499
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6500
      number.
6501
 
6502
Minor changes:
6503
    * AddFlags directives
6504
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6505
      duplicate flags being added.
6506
 
6507
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6508
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6509
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6510
 
6511
    * Mug File Generation
6512
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6513
 
6514
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6515
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6516
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6517
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6518
     directory.
6519
 
6520
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6521
     reproducible.
6522

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6524
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6525
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6526
Major changes:
6527
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6528
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6529
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6530
      longer a list of directories.
6531
 
6532
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6533
      done within the toolset.
6534
 
6535
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6536
 
6537
    * JATS environment variables
6538
      Redefined variable
6539
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6540
                          Previously was a list that included the
6541
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6542
 
6543
      New variable
6544
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6545
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6546
 
6547
 
6548
Minor changes:
6549
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6550
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6551
      target platforms to be extracted.
6552
 
6553
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6554
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6555
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6556
 
6557
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6558
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6559
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6560
 
6561
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6562
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6563
 
6564
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6565
      Support ANT based XML files
6566
 
6567
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6568
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6569
      structure.
6570
 
6571
    * makefile.pl's
6572
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6573
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6574
 
6575
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6576
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6577
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6578
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6579
 
6580
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6581
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6582
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6583
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6584
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6585
      -- Auto.
6586
 
6587
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6588
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6589
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6590
 
6591
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6592
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6593
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6594
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6595
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6596
 
6597
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6598
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6599
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6600
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6601
      installed on the machine.
6602
 
6603
    * WINCE Targets
6604
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6605
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6606
 
6607

6612
Major changes:
6613
    * WIN32 platforms
6614
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6615
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6616
      and installed packages.
6617
 
6618
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6619
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6620
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6621
 
6622
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6623
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6624
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6625
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6626
      searched when looking for libraries.
6627
 
6628
Minor changes:
6629
    * GenerateFiles directive
6630
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6631
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6632
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6633
                          and drive letter
6634
 
6635
    * Src directive
6636
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6637
      directory of a package.
6638
 
6639
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6640
 
6641
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6642
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6643
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6644
 
6645
    * jats_rewrite utility
6646
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6647
 
6648
 
6649

6650
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6651
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6652
Major changes:
6653
    * SunWorks production builds
6654
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6655
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6656
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6657
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6658
      compiler documentation.
6659
 
6660
    * MOS Toolset
6661
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6662
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6663
 
6664
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6665
 
6666
Minor changes:
6667
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6668
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6669
      This should not affect current users.
6670
 
6671
    * Mugfile generation
6672
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6673
      specified.
6674
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6675
 
6676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6677
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6679
Major changes:
6680
    MOS Toolset
6681
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6682
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6683
 
6684
Minor changes:
6685
    * Jats wrapper script
6686
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6687
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6688
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6689
 
6690
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6691
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6692
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6693
      may be suspect.
6694
 
6695
    * GenerateFiles directive
6696
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6697
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6698
 
6699
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6700
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6701
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6702
Major changes:
6703
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6704
      build.xml files.
6705
 
6706
Minor changes:
6707
    * WIN32 toolset.
6708
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6709
 
6710
    * MakeAnt
6711
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6712
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6713
 
6714
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6715
 
6716
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6717
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6718
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6719
 
6720
    * MakeAnt directive
6721
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6722
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6723
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6724
 
6725
      Recommended usage:
6726
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6727
 
6728
Internal Changes
6729
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6730

6733
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6734
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6735
Major changes:
6736
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6737
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6738
      files packaged into the release.
6739
 
6740
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6741

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6744
 
6745
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6746
      The recommended platform is:
6747
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6748
 
6749
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6750
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6751
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6752
      components.
6753
 
6754
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

6758
 
6759
Minor changes:
6760
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6761
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6762
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6763
      by the package to be accessed.
6764
 
6765
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6766
      application or visual studio.
6767
 
6768
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6769
      and the JATS Core path.
6770
 
6771
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6772
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6773
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6774
 
6775
    * MOS Toolset
6776
      Add support for the TPT device
6777
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6778
 
6779
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6780
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6781
 
6782
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6783
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6784
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6785
 
6786
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6787
 
6788
Internal Changes
6789
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6790
      in jats.pl
6791
 
6792
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6793
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6794
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6795
Major changes:
6796
    * JATS wrapper script
6797
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6798
 
6799
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6800
 
6801
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6802
 
6803
Minor changes:
6804
    * Deployment support
6805
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6806
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6807
 
6808
    * 'build'
6809
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6810
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6811
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6812
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6813
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6814
 
6815
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6816
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6817
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6818
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6819
                                      the link phase.
6820
 
6821
    * BuildPkgArchive
6822
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6823
      Previously these were ignored.
6824
      Minor code cleanup
6825
 
6826
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6827
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6828
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6829
 
6830
    * SOLARIS targets
6831
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6832
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6833
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6834
 
6835
    * MugFile generation
6836
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6837
      included in the final package.
6838
 
6839
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6840
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6841
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6842
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6843
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6844
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6845
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6846
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6847
 
6848
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6849
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6850
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6851
            --Option=(some_text)
6852
            --Option=[some_text]
6853
            --Option={some_text}
6854
 
6855
Internal Changes
6856
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6857
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6858
      code.
6859
 
6860

6861
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6862
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6863
Major changes:
6864
    * JATS wrapper script
6865
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6866
 
6867
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6868
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6869
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6870
      other components.
6871
 
6872
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6873
 
6874
    * JATS
6875
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6876
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6877
 
6878
    * Build operations
6879
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6880
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6881
      packages.
6882
 
6883
    * Make operations
6884
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6885
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6886
 
6887
Minor changes:
6888
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6889
      deployment builds.
6890
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6891
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6892
 
6893
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6894
 
6895
    * build.pl
6896
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6897
        processed. Allows
6898
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6899
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6900
        production.
6901
 
6902
    * MOS toolset
6903
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6904
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6905
 
6906
    * create_dpkg utility
6907
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6908
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6909
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6910
      progress of the build.
6911
 
6912
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6913
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6914
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6915
      system.
6916

6919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6920
Major changes:
6921
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6922
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6923
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6924
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6925
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6926
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6927
 
6928
    * WCEX86A500 target
6929
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6930
 
6931
    * MOS Toolsets
6932
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6933
      the compiler.
6934
 
6935
    * RunTest directive
6936
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6937
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6938
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6939
 
6940
Minor changes:
6941
    * JATS BUILD
6942
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6943
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6944
      highlight bad settings.
6945
 
6946
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6947
      access to extensions.
6948
 
6949

    * label utility
6962
      Added options to:
6963
        o Delete a label
6964
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6965
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6966
 
6967
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6968
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6969
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6970
      Package directives.
6971
 
6972
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6973
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6974
      system.
6975
 
6976
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6977
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6978
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6979
Major changes:
6980
    * MOS Toolset
6981
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6982
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6983
 
6984
    * WIN32 Toolset
6985
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6986
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6987
      list.
6988
 
6989
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6990
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6991
 
6992
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6993
 
6994
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6995
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6996
 
6997
 
6998
Minor changes:
6999
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7000
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7001
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7002
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7003
      corrected.
7004
 
7005
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7006
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7007
 
7008
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7009
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7010
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.

7013
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7015
Major changes:
7016
    * WIN32 Toolset
7017
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7018
      use with multithreaded modes.
7019
 
7020
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7021
      --OnlyProd.
7022
 
7023
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7024
      within the makefile.pl.
7025
 
7026
Minor changes:
7027
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7028
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7029
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7030
      platforms.
7031
 
7032
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7033
 
7034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7035
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7036
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7037
Major changes:
7038
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7039
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7040
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7041
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7042
 
7043
    * Preliminary Support
7044
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7045
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7046
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7047
 
7048
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7049
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7050
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7051
 
7052
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7053
      building. The default build will build both.
7054
 
7055
Minor changes:
7056
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7057
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7058
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7059
 
7060
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7061
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7062
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7063
 
7064
 
7065
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7066
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7067
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7068
Major changes:
7069
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7070
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7071
      or all.
7072
 
7073
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7074
      the library or program.
7075
 
7076
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7077
 
7078
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7079
      library or any debug files.
7080
 
7081
    * GenerateFiles
7082
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7083
 
7084
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7085
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7086
 
7087
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7088
              The filename of the prereq file
7089
 
7090
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7091
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7092
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7093
 
7094
 
7095
Minor changes:
7096
    * create_dpkg utility
7097
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7098
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7099
      the package has been altered.

7104
Major changes:
7105
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7106
      This is a WINCE target
7107
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7108
 
7109
    * New toolset
7110
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7111
 
7112
    * Modified toolset
7113
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7114
 
7115
    * Modified toolset
7116
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7117
 
7118
Minor changes:
7119
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7120
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7121
 
7122
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7123
 
7124
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7125
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7126
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7127
 
7128
      The change allows the construct
7129
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7130
      to be replaced by the simpler
7131
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7132
 
7133
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7134
      specified name.    
7135

7140
Major changes:
7141
    * Dependancy generator

7154
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7155
Major changes:
7156
    * The "package.pl" file.
7157
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7158
      package name being taken from the build name
7159
 
7160
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7161
      package Build Name.
7162
 
7163
Minor changes:
7164
    * create_dpkg utility
7165
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7166
 
7167

7170
Major changes:
7171
 
7172
Minor changes:
7173
    * Dependancy generator
7174
      Correct two common situations
7175
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7176
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7177
           ansi, but is often done.
7178
 
7179
    * GCC toolset
7180
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7181
      being created in the correct place.
7182
 
7183
    * jats "label"
7184
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7185
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7186
 
7187
 
7188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7189
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7191
Major changes:
7192
 
7193
Minor changes:
7194
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7195
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7196
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7197
 
7198
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7199
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7200
 
7201
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7202
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7203
      package was not being transferred.
7204
 
7205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7206
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7208
Major changes:
7209
    * Support for solaris_i386
7210
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7211
      binaries for this target.
7212
 
7213
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7214
      with the GCC compiler.
7215
 
7216
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7217
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7218
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7219
 
7220
Minor changes:
7221
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7222
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7223
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7224
 
7225
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7226
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7227
 
7228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7229
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7231
Major changes:
7232
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7233
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7234
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7235
 
7236
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7237
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7238
 
7239
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7240
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7241
      with either " or ' characters.
7242
 
7243
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7244
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7245
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7246
 
7247
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7248
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7249
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7250
 
7251
    * Jats wrapper
7252
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7253
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7254
      further commands.
7255
 
7256
Minor changes:
7257
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7258
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7259
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7260
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7261
 
7262
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7263
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7265
Major changes:
7266
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7267
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7268
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7269
 
7270
      These options operation affect all components within the
7271
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7272
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7273
 
7274
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7275
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7276
 
7277
Minor changes:
7278
 
7279
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7280
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7281
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7282
Major changes:
7283
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7284
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7285
 
7286
Minor changes:
7287
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7288
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7289
 
7290
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7291
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7292
 
7293
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7294
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7295
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7296
Major changes:
7297
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7298
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7299
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7300
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7301
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7302
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7303
      installed.
7304
 
7305
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7306
      libraries that depend on each other.
7307
 
7308
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7309
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7310
 
7311
Minor changes:
7312
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7313
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7314
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7315
 
7316
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7317
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7318
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7319
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7320
 
7321
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7322
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7323
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7324
Major changes:
7325
 
7326
Minor changes:
7327
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7328
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7329
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7330
      file.
7331
 
7332
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7333
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7334
 
7335
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7336
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7337
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7338
 
7339
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7340
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7341
 
7342
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7343
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7344
 
7345
    * WinCE toolsets
7346
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7347
      compiler specific libraries.
7348
 
7349
    * SOLARIS toolset
7350
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7351
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7352
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7353
 
7354
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7355
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7356
      cleaned up.
7357
 
7358
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7359
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7360
 
7361
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7362
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7363
      with either " or ' characters.
7364

7368
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7369
Major changes:
7370
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7371
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7372
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7373
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7374
 
7375
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7376
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7377
 
7378
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7379
      user.
7380
 
7381
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7382
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7383
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7384
 
7385
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7386
      for the   -Gf option.
7387
 
7388
Minor changes:
7389
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7390
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7391
 
7392
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7393
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7394
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7395
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7396

7400
Major changes:
7401
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7402
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7403
 
7404
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7405
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7406
      data addresses for the board.
7407
 
7408
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7409
 
7410
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7411
 
7412
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7413
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7414
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7415
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7416
         PackageFile
7417
 
7418
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7419
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7420
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7421
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7422
 
7423
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7424
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7425
      to be installed and packaged.
7426
 
7427
Minor changes:
7428
 
7429
    * cache_dpkg utility
7430
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7431
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7432
 
7433
    * label utility
7434
      New option -auto to create and label
7435
 
7436
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7437
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7438
 
7439
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7440
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7441
      directory. ie:
7442
 
7443
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7444
 
7445
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7446
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7447
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7448

7451
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7452
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7453
Major changes:
7454
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7455
 
7456
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7457
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7458
 
7459
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7460
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7461
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7462
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7463
 
7464
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7465
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7466
      compilation.
7467
 
7468
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7469
 
7470
Minor changes:
7471
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7472
      one is being produced.
7473
 
7474
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7475
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7476
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7477
 
7478
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7479
 
7480
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7481
 
7482
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7483
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7484
 
7485
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7486
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7487
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7488
Major changes:
7489
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7490
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7491
 
7492
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7493
 
7494
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7495
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7496
      same directory
7497
 
7498
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7499
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7500
      documenattion.
7501
 
7502
Minor changes:
7503
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7504
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7505
 
7506
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7507
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7508
 
7509
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7510
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7511
 
7512
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7513
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7514
 
7515
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7516
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7517
      be exempt from this test.
7518
 
7519
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7520
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7521
 
7522
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7523
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7524
 
7525
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7526
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7527
      does.
7528
 
7529
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7530
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7531
 
7532
 
7533
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7534
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7535
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7536
Major changes:
7537
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7538
 
7539
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7540
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7541
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7542
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7543
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7544
 
7545
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7546
      operations.
7547
 
7548
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7549
 
7550
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7551
 
7552
Minor changes
7553
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7554
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7555
 
7556
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7557
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7558
      directory is not added to the library path.
7559
 
7560
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7561
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7562
 
7563
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7564
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7565
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7566
 
7567
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7568
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7569
      specific flags.
7570
 
7571
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7572
 
7573
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7574
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7575
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7576
 
7577
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7578
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7579
      JATS.
7580
 
7581
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7582
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7583
 
7584
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7585
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7586
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7587
 
7588
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7589
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7590
 
7591
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7592
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7593
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7594
 
7595
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7596
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7597
 
7598
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7599
 
7600
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7601
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7602
 
7603
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7604
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7605
      objects.
7606
 
7607
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7608
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7609
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7610
      build defendants.
