    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
500
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
501

502
 
503
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward

      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
706
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
707
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
708
 
709
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
710
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
711
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
712
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
713
 
714
    * Jats caching
715
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
716
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed
717
      up jats startup.

742
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
743
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
744
 
745
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
746
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
747
 
748
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
749
      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
751
 
752

    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1065
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
1066
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
1067
 
1068
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
1069
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

1073
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1074
Major changes:
1075
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1076
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1077
      intended to build deployed software.
1078
 
1079
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1080
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1081
 
1082
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1083
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1084
 
1085
Minor changes:
1086
    * Jats wrapper script
1087
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1088
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1089
      Subversion instance of the command.
1090
 
1091
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1092
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1093
 
1094
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1095
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1096
 
1097
    * Utility: jats upddep
1098
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1099
      file under windows.
1100
 
1101
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1102
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1103
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1104
 
1105
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1106
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1107
 
1108
    * GCC Toolchain
1109
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1125
Major changes:
1126
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1127
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1128
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1129
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1130
 
1131
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1132
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1142
Minor changes:
1143
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1144
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1145
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1146
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1147
      line.
1148
 
1149
    * Jats Configuration
1150
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1151
 
1152
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1153
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1154
      and Linux.
1155
 
1156
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1157
      correctly rippled.

Major changes:
1163
 
1164
Minor changes:
1165
    * Jats Core
1166
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1167
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1168
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1169
 
1170
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1171
      Used only by the build daemons.
1172
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1173
 
1174
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1175
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1176
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

1181
Major changes:
1182
 
1183
Minor changes:
1184
    * svnrelease utility
1185
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1186
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1187
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1188
 
1189
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1190
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1191
      the named tag.
1192
 
1193
    * svnrelease utility
1194
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1195
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1206
        covered by the makefile.
1207
 
1208
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1209
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1210
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1211
 
1212
    * ALL Toolsets
1213
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1214
 
1215
    * Utility vcsdiff
1216
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1217
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1218
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

    * Subversion Extraction
1227
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1228
      directory of the tag.
1229
 
1230
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1231
      repository.
1232
 
1233
    * Subversion Support
1234
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1235
      showing the user what to do.
1236
 
1237
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1238
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1239
      we have build support for this target.
1240
 
1241
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1242
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1243
 
1244
Internal:
1245
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1246
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1247
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1248
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Major changes:
1263
 
1264
Minor changes:
1265
    * Makefile generation
1266
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1267
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1268
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1269
      of warnings.
1270
 
1271
    * Makefile Generation
1272
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1281
Major changes:
1282
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1283
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1284
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1285
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1286
 
1287
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1288
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1289
      windows path scheme.
1290
 
1291
Minor changes:
1292
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1293
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1294
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1295
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1296
 
1297
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1298
        jats make clobber
1299
      This operates as before.
1300
 
1301
    * Utility: escrow
1302
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1303
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1304
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1305
 
1306
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1307
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1308
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1309
 
1310
    * Utility: svn : url
1311
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1312
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1313
 
1314
    * Utility: svn : import
1315
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1316
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1317
 
1318
    * Subversion Support
1319
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1320
      showing the user what to do.
1321
 
1322
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1323
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1324
      repositories.

1330
Minor changes:
1331
    * Jats build
1332
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1333
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1334
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1335
 
1336
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1337
      command, with a sandbox.

      Added two subcommands
1348
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1349
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1350
                 Can also display available branches.
1351
 
2054 dpurdie 1352
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
1358
 
1359
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1360
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1361
      Modified two options:
1362
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1363
                        The named branch must not exist
1364
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1365
                        The named branch must exist
1366
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
1376
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
1377
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

Major changes:
1402
    * Jats Version Number
1403
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
1404
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
1405
      significantly.

Major changes:
1418
    * Subversion support
1419
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
1420
      SubVersion. Changes include:
1421
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
1422
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1423
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1424
 
1425
Minor changes:
1426
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1427
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1428
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1429
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1430
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1431
 
1432
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1433
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1434
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1435
 
1436
    * Linux support utilities
1437
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
1438
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.

      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1447
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1448
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1449
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
1450
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1451
 
1452
Minor changes:
1453
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1454
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1455
 
1456
    * Utility: svnrelease
1457
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1458
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1459
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1460
 
1461
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1462
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1463
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1464
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1465
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1466
 
1467
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1468
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1469
 
1470
    * Utility: sandbox
1471
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
1472
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1473
 
1474
      Subcommand: populate
1475
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1476
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1477
      sandbox.
1478
 
1479
    * Subversion Support
1480
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1481
      repository is not supported.
1482
 
1483
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1484
      a progress indication.
1485
 
1486
    * Jats Online Documentation
1487
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1488
      online documentation.
1489
 
1490
    * Generated makefiles
1491
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1541

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1568
Major changes:
1569
 
1570
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1571
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1572
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1573
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1574
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1575
 
1576

1589
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
1590
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1591
 
1592
    * Utility ccrelease
1593
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1594
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1595
 
1596
    * Utility: svn
1597
      Improved package import processing.
1598
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

1625
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1626
Major changes:
1627
 
1628
Minor changes:
1629
    * Command: jats clobber
1630
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1631
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1632
 
1633
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1634
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1635
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1636
 
1637
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1638
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1639
 
377 dpurdie 1640
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1641
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1642
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1643
 
1644
    * jats svnlabel
1645
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1646
 
1647
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1648
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1649
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1650
 
1651
    * Built Daemon support
1652
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1653
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1654

373 dpurdie 1656
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
1657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1658
Major changes:
1659
    * GCC Toolset
1660
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1661
      New methodology is:
1662
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1663
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1664
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1665
        as the main binary.
1666
 
1667
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1668
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1669
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1670
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1671
      both worlds.
1672
 
1673
Minor changes:
1674
    * HTML Documentation
1675
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1676
 
1677
Internal changes:
1678

1684
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1685
Major changes:
1686
    * Jats Sandbox
1687
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1688
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1689
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1690
 
1691
    * RIORDS Platform
1692
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

Minor changes:
1709
    * New Platform and Toolchain
371 dpurdie 1710
      Platform is RIORDS. This uses the MSP430 toolchain.
369 dpurdie 1711
      Beta release of this toolchain
1712
 
1713
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1714
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
1715
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1716
 
1717
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1718
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1719
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1720
      a vob.
1721
 
1722
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

Major changes:
1750
 
1751

1752
    * Jats Utility:
1753
      Added 'ccdelete_view'. This utility will delete a Clear Case view given a
1754
      viewtag, even if the view has been deleted from disk.
1755
 
1756
    * Jats startup
1757
      Jats will report an error if started in a directory that is inaccessible
1758
      to the user. An error will also be report if jats is directed to change to
1759
      in inaccessible directory.
1760

Internal:
1775
    * Makefile generation
1776
        Removed the use of the .rul file. Now generated in place.

Minor changes:
1785
    * Utility: cclabel
1786
      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
1787
      the clearcase label.
1788
 
1789
    * Subversion support
1790

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

      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2240
      Not recommended for general use.
2241
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2242
      directories within the current view.
2243
 
2244
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2245
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2246
      elsewhere.
2247
 
2248
    * Jats save_build
2249
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2250
      the determination of a branch.
2251
 
2252
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2253
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2254
 
2255
    * Jats build
2256
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2257
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2258
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2259
 
2260
    * Borland6 toolset
2261
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2262
      to match the documented install location of:
2263
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2264
 
2265
    * Jats build
2266
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2267
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2268
      This is a very quick operation.
2269
 
2270
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2271
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2272
 
2273
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2274
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2275
      files are only recreated if need be.
2276
 
2277
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2278
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2279
      make the package.
2280
 
2281
    * Jats sandbox
2282
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2283
 
2284
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2285
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2286
 
2287
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2288
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2289
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2290
      is performed.
2291
 
2292
Internal:
2293
    * build.pl
2294
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

2326
Major changes:
2327
 
2328
Minor changes:
2329
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2330
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2331
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2332
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2333
 
2334
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2335
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2336
 
2337
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2338
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2339
      platform builds.
2340
 
2341
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2342
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2343
      directory tree.
2344
 
2345

Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
2358
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2359
Major changes:
2360
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2361
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2362
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2363
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2364
 
2365
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2366
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2367
 
2368
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2369
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2370
 
2371
      Examples:
2372
            jats upddep -show
2373
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2374
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2375
 
2376
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2377
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2378
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2379
 
2380
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2381
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2382
 
2383
Minor changes:
2384
 
2385
Internal changes:
2386
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
2391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2392
Major changes:
2393
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2394
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2395
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2396
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2397
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2398
      stream.
2399
 
2400
      Example:
2401
 
2402
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2403
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2404
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2405
                     );
2406
Minor changes:
2407
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2408
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2409
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2410
      directive.
2411
 
2412
    * GCC Toolkit
2413
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2414
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2415
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2416
      the point of termination.
2417
 
2418
    * Jats save_build utility
2419
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2420
      under windows.
2421
 
2422
    * Jats sandbox
2423
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2424
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2425
      in different sandboxes.
2426
 
2427
    * Jats release
2428
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2429

Minor changes:
2436
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2437
      Added -locatedir=name
2438
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2439
      directory.
2440
 
2441
    * jats label utility
2442
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2443
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2444
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2445
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2446
 
2447
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2448

Minor changes:
2455
    * WinCe Toolsets
2456
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2457
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2458
        noExceptions            - Disable
2459
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2460
      Example:
2461
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2462
 
2463
    * Solaris targets
2464
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2465
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2466
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2467
      machine type.
2468

2471
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2472
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2473
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2474
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2475
      project files.
2476
 
2477
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2478
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2479
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2480
 
2481
Minor changes:
2482
    * Added more internal documentation
2483
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2484
 
2485
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2486
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2487
 
2488
    * Jats save_build utility
2489
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2490
      under windows.
2491
 
2492
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2493
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2494
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2495
      libraries.
2496
 
2497
    * Solaris builds
2498
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2499
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2500
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2501
      of the build failure.
2502
 
2503
 
2504
Internal changes:
2505
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2506
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2507
 
2508
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2509
      PkgArchive topics.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2514
Major changes:
2515
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2516
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2517
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2518
      existing 32-bit builds.
2519
 
2520
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

Minor changes:
2524
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
2525
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2526
 
2527
    * Package searching
2528
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2529
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2530
 
2531
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2532
 
2533
    * jats help
2534
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2535
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2536
 
2537
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2538
      with one of:
2539
        jats -h
2540
        jats help jats
2541
 
2542
Internal:

    * cmdfile utility
2544
      Added macros:
2545
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2546
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2547
 
2548
      Corrected
2549
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
2550
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
2551
 
2552
      Extended

2555
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2556
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Internal changes
2566
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2567
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2568
      Useful side effects include:
2569
 
2570
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2571
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2572
 
2573
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2574
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2575
 
2576
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2577
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2578
        BuildPkgArchive
2579
 
313 dpurdie 2580
    * Perl Modules
2581
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2582
      release. This will:
2583
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2584
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2585
          reported by ERG.
2586
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2596
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2597
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2598
 
2599
    * Jats label utility
2600
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2601
 
2602
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2603
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2604
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2605
 
2606
    * Jats core
2607
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2608
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2609
      used to package ant based builds.

2619
      This is now fixed.
2620
 
309 dpurdie 2621
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2622
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2623
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2624
 
2625
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2626
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

2633
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 2634
    * Generating makefiles
2635
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2636
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2637
      an error.
2638
 
2639
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2640
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2641
 
2642
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2643
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2649
Major changes:
2650
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2651
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2652
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2653
 
2654
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2655
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2656
 
2657
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2658
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2659
      Support includes
2660
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2661
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2662
 
2663
Minor changes:
2664
    * Build file processing
2665
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2666
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2667
 
2668
    * MOS builds
2669
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2670
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2671
 
2672
    * MOS builds
2673
      New 'known' product: PICP
2674
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2675
 
2676
    * GenerateFiles directive
2677
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2678
        under windows.
2679
 
2680
        .
2681
 
2682
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2683
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2684
 
2685
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2686
      to the output stream.
2687
 
2688
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2689
 
2690
    * Windows Shell
2691
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2692
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2693
 
2694
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2695
 
2696
    * H8S toolset
2697
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2698
 
2699
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2700
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2701
 
2702
Internal changes
2703
    * WinCe builds
2704
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2705
      content of the file.
2706
 
2707
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2708
 
2709
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2710
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

2722
Major changes:
2723
 
2724
Minor changes:
2725
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2726
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2727
      Changes are transparent to users.
2728
 
2729
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2730
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2731
      this occurs.
2732
 
2733
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2734
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2735
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2736
      automated build framework.
2737
 
2738
    * jats sandbox command
2739
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2740
      'create' command.
2741
 
2742
    * jats command aliases. Added
2743
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2744
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2749
Major changes:
2750
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2751
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2752
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2753
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2754
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2755
      will work as expected
2756
 
2757
Minor changes:
2758
    * VS2008 Toolset
2759
      Picking up incorrect config details
2760
      May result in a warning message.
2761
 
2762
    * gen_cots utility
2763
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2764
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2765
 
2766
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2767
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

2814
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2815
Major changes:
2816
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2817
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2818
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2819
 
2820
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2821
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2822
 
2823
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2824
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2825
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2826
           names cannot be changed.
2827
 
2828
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2829
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2830
 
2831
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2832
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2833
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2834
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2835
 
2836
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2837
      file.
2838
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2839
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2840
      MyPackage.dpk.
2841
 
2842
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2843
      file.
2844
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2845
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2846
      MyDll.dpr.
2847
 
2848
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2849
      file.
2850
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2851
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2852
      MyProg.dpr.
2853
 
2854
Minor changes:
2855
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2856
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2857
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2858
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2859
 
2860
    * BuildVersion directive
2861
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2862
      in a Delphi Unit.
2863
 
2864
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2865
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2866
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2867
      'know' the location of the files.
2868
 
2869
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2870
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2871
 
2872
Internal Changes:
2873
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2874
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2875
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2876
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2877
 
2878
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2879
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2880
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
2881

287 dpurdie 2883
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2884
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2885
Major changes:
2886
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2887
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2888
      information for purely C++ builds.
2889
 
289 dpurdie 2890
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2891
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2892
 
289 dpurdie 2893
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2894
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2895
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2896
 
2897
Minor changes:
2898
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2899
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2900
 
2901
    * updatenodespec utility
2902
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2903
      Manager database.

2927
 
2928
Minor changes:
2929
    * MergeLibrary directive
2930
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
2931
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
2932

    * New command: jats make show
2941
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2942
      used in the build.
2943
 
2944
    * Escrow command
2945
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2946
 
2947
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2948
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2949
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2950
 
2951
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2952
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2953

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

3189
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3190
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3191

3214
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3215
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3216
 
3217
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

      Previously was being done at two places
3385
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3386
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but

3444
 
3445
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
3446
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3447
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3448
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3449
 
3450
Minor changes:
3451
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3452
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
3453
 
3454
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
3455

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3460
Major changes:
3461
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
3462
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3463
 
3464
      New platforms:
3465
        CSHARP2005
3466
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3467
         Support extends to allow:
3468
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3469
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3470
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3471
 
3472
        VS2005
3473
         Support extends to allow:
3474
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3475
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3476
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3477
 
3478
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3479
      through a version selector:
3480
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3481
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3482
 
3483
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3484
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3485
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3486
 
3487
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3488
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3489
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3490
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3491
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3492
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3493
          under VS2005.
3494
 
3495
Minor changes:
3496
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

3500
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3501
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3502
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3503
 
3504
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3505
 
3506
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3507
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3508
 
3509
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3510
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3511
      a minimal value of perl.
3512
 
3513
      Removed excessive require statements.
3514
 
3515
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3516
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3517
      Include JATS specific files for
3518
        1) Windows
3519
        2) Linux
3520
 
3521
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3522
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3523
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3524
      machines.
3525
 
3526
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3527
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3528
 
3529
    * JATS Environment
3530
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3531
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3532
 
3533
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3534
      wrapper scripts.
3535
 
3536
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3537
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3538
      Spell check help and code.

3591
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3592
  * New toolset and platform
3593
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3594
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3595
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3596
    this platform.
3597
 
3598
Minor changes:
3599
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3600
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3601
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3602
    work.
3603
 
3604
  * Jats utility: release
3605
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3606
    published to dpkg_archive.
3607
 
249 dpurdie 3608
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3609
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3610
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3611
    supported for ANT builds.
3612
 
3613
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3614
        releasemanager.releasename
3615
        releasemanager.projectname
3616
 
3617
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3618
    tagged data item of the form
3619
 
3620
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3621
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3622
 
3623
  * Mug File Generation
3624
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3625
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3626
 
3627
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3628
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3629
    required.
3630
 
3631
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3632
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3633
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3634
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3635
    the files in order to use them.
3636
 
3637
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3638
    locate the file.
3639
 
3640
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3641
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3642
 
3643
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3644
        * CSharp
3645
        * Properties
3646
        * WinRC
3647
 
3648
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3649
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3650
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3651
    Value is correctly assigned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3656
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3657
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3658
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3659
 
3660
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3661
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3662
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3663
 
3664
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3665
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3666
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3667
 
3668
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3669
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3670
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3671
 
3672
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3673
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3674
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3675
    correct.
3676
 
3677
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3678
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3679
 
3680
Minor changes:
3681
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3682
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3683
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3684
 
3685
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3686
    This will simplify new user setup.
3687
 
3688
  * All Unix Toolsets
3689
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3690
    on unix systems
3691
 
3692
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3693
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3694
    on some Solaris Machines.
3695
 
3696
  * JATS -version=<version>
3697
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3698
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3699

3746
    mode.
3747
 
3748
  * JATS makefiles
3749
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first

3751
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3752
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3753
                            SetList directive.
3754
 
3755

      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
3800
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
3801
 
3802
    * MOS Toolset
3803
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
3804
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
3805
 
3806
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
3807
      can have production (PIC) components.
3808
 
3809
    * Utility command: jats abt
3810
      Parse and use -buildfile=xxx option

3859
 
3860
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3861
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3862

3899
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3900
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3901
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3902
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3903
 
3904
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3905
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3906
 
3907
    * Jats wrapper
3908
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3909
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3910

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3914
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3915
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3916
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3917
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3918
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3919
 
3920
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3921
 
3922
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3923
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3924
 
3925
    * Running Jats
3926
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3927
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3928
      This may affect some windows developers.
3929
 
3930
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3931
      Future versions will generate an error.
3932
 
3933
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3934
 
3935
Minor changes:
3936
    * Perl Version Check
3937
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3938
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3939
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3940
 
3941
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3942
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3943
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3944
      build.
3945
 
3946
    * Jats Internals
3947
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3948
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3949
 
3950
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3951
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3952
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3953
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3954
      process.
3955
 
3956
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3957
      Only works under Windows.
3958
 
3959
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3960
 
3961
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3962
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3963
 
3964
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3965
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3966
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3967
 
3968
    * Jats eprog
3969
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3970
      directory.
3971
 
3972
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3973
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3974
      build metrics.
3975

3979
Major changes:
3980
 
3981
Minor changes:
3982
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3983
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3984
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3985
      automated build system. New options are:
3986
        -pname=Package_Name
3987
        -pversion=Package_Version
3988
 
3989
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3990
      transferring the package. New options are:
3991
        -test
3992
 
3993
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3994
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3995
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3996
 
3997
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3998
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3999
 
4000
    * Solaris Toolset
4001
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4002
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4003
      programs are still supported.

4007
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4008
Major changes:
4009
 
4010
Minor changes:
4011
    * WINCE toolsets
4012
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4013
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4014
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4015
      when header files cannot be found.
4016
 
4017
    * GenerateFiles directive
4018
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4019
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4020
      that are difficult to solve.
4021
 
4022
    * MakePerlModule directive
4023
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4024
      to the the module builder.
4025
 
4026
    * Jats Tool: label
4027
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4028
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4029
      -dirs=xxx options.
4030
 
4031
    * Jats Tool: release
4032
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4033
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4034
 
4035
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4036
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4037
 
4038
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4039
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4040
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4041
 
4042
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4048
Major changes:
4049
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
4050
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
4051
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
4052
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
4053
 
4054
Minor changes:
4055
    * label utility
4056
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
4057
 
4058
    * make package and install operations
4059
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
4060
      transfer.
4061
 
4062
    * make clean up
4063
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4064
 
4065
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4066
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4067
      minor file transformations such as:
4068
        Copy, with optional rename
4069
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4070
        Perform simple TAG replacement
4071
 
4072
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
4073
 
4074
    * jats release utility
4075
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4076
      in place.
4077
 
4078
    * escrow utility
4079
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
4080
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

4086
 
4087
Minor changes:
4088
    * Makefile generation
4089
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4090
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4091
      generate phase early.
4092
 
4093

4096
Major changes:
4097
 
4098
Minor changes:
4099
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4100
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4101
 
4102
    * Makefile generation
4103
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4104
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4105
 
4106
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4107
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4108
 
4109
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4110
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4111
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4112
 
4113
    * jats_rewrite utility
4114
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4115
 
4116
    * jats escrow utility
4117
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4118
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4119
 
4120
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4121
      inconsistent packages.
4122
 
4123
    * jats make help
4124
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4125
      available within the current build.
4126
 
4127
    * jats makefiles
4128
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4129
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4130
 
4131
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4132
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4133
 
4134
    * gcc toolset
4135
      SharedLibries.
4136
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4137
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4138
 
4139
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4140
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4141
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4142
 
4143
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4144
        New options:
4145
            --MultiScan
4146
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4147
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4148
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4153
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4154
Major changes:
4155
 
4156
Minor changes:
4157
    PackageLib directive
4158
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4159
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4160
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4161
 
4162
    MakefileGenerate directive
4163
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4164
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4165
 
4166
    Multiple Parent detection
4167
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4168
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4169
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4170
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4171
 
4172
    Solaris Toolset
4173
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4174
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4175
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4176
    link.
4177
 
4178
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4179
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4180
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4181
 
4182
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4183
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4184
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4185
    file.

4195
    Summary of changes:
4196
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4197
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4198
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4199
          flexibility.
4200
 
4201
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4202
 
4203
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4204
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4205
          interface directory and associated build information.
4206
 
4207
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4208
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4209
          than one second.
4210
 
4211
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4212
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4213
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4214
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4215
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4216
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4217
 
4218
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4219
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4220
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4221
 
4222
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4223
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4224
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4225
          building them.
4226
 
4227
        - Detection of build file changes
4228
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4229
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4230
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4231
 
4232
        - Quieter make output
4233
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4234
 
4235
 
4236
Minor changes:
4237
    MakeAnt Directive
4238
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4239
 
4240
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4241
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4242
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4243
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4244
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4245
 
4246
    CSHARP toolset
4247
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4248

4254
Minor changes:
4255
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4256
    are generated.
4257
 
4258
    MakeAnt
4259
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4260
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4261
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4262
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4263
 
4264
    MCR platform
4265
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.
4266
    This is a MOS binary and can be download to the MCR devices.

4273
Minor changes:
4274
    MakeAnt directive extended
4275
    New option: --PackageBase
4276
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4277
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4278
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4279
 
4280
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4281
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4282
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4283
        package image being created.

4302
    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4303
 
4304
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4305
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4306
 
4307
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4308
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4309
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4310
 
4311
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4312
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4313
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4314
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command
4315

4341
Minor changes:
4342
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4343
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4344
 
4345
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4346
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4347
      last.
4348
 
4349
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4350
 
4351
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4352
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4353
 
4354
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4355
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4356
 
4357
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4358
 
4359
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4360
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4361
 
4362
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4363
 
4364
 
4365
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4366
           with the --System option
4367
 
4368
    * LMOS target platform

4374
Major changes:
4375
 
4376
Minor changes:
4377
    * Solaris Toolset
4378
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
4379
      dependent packages.
4380
 
4381
    * RunTest operation
4382
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4383
 
4384
    * Csharp toolkit
4385
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
4386

4388
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
4389
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4390
Major changes:
4391
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4392
 
4393
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4394
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4395
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4396
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4397
      path.
4398
 
4399
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4400
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4401
      reproducible.
4402
 
4403
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4404
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4405
 
4406
      There are several aspects to the change
4407
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4408
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4409
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4410
 
4411
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4412
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4413
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4414
          controlled separately.
4415
 
4416
Minor changes:
4417
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4418
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4419
        Remove duplicates
4420
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4421
 
4422

4423
Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
4424
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4425
Major changes:
4426
 
4427
Minor changes:
4428
    * Makefile sanity test
4429
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4430
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4431
 
4432
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4433
      x86 machine.
4434
 
4435
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4436
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4437
 
4438
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4439
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4440
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4441
Major changes:
4442
    * RunTest directive
4443
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4444
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4445
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4446
 
4447
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4448
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4449
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4450
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4451
 
4452
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4453
        builder within the current toolset.
4454
 
4455
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4456
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4457
 
4458
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4459
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4460
      containing the RunTest directive.
4461
 
4462
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4463
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4464
 
4465
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4466
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4467
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4468
 
4469
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4470
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4471
                            P or D suffix.
4472
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4473
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4474
 
4475
Minor changes:
4476
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4477
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4478
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4479
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4480
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4481
 
4482
    * Save Build Utility
4483
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4484
      used in a ripple build.
4485
 
4486
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4487
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4488
 
4489
    * Release Utility
4490
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4491
      when an error is encountered.
4492
 
4493
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4494
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4495
 
4496
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4497
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4498
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4499
 
4500
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4501
      before the makefiles are created.
4502
 
4503
    * TestProg directive
4504
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4505
 
4506
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4507
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4508

4511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4512
Major changes:
4513
    * New build target
4514
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4515
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4516
 
4517
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4518
            DEVLINUX
4519
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4520
 
4521
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4522
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4523
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4524
 
4525
Minor changes:
4526
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4527
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4528
 
4529
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4530
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4531
 
4532
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4533
      and .cs files.
4534
 
4535
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4536
      thing.
4537
 
4538
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4539
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4540
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4541
      were it places temp files.
4542
 
4543
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4544
      interaction with other builds.
4545
 
4546
    * Release utility command
4547
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4548
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4549
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
4557
 
4558
    Supports the handling of .resx files
4559
 
4560
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
4561
    libraries
4562
 
4563
Minor changes:
4564
  * Unit Tests
4565
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
4566
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4567
 
4568
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
4569
    as a Script.

Major changes:
4598
 
4599
Minor changes:
4600
  * WINCE Support
4601
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4602
 
4603
  * Removed the following targets
4604
        TP5600
4605
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4606
        TP5600_EMU
4607
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4608
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4609
 
4610
  * Deployment
4611
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4612
 
4613
  * build.pl
4614
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4615
 
4616
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4617
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4618
 
4619
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4620
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4621
    build.
4622
 
4623
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4624
 
4625
  * Tool: escrow
4626
     New features
4627
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4628
     are not in the SBOM.
4629
 
4630
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4631
 
4632
     Specify packages to be ignored.
4633

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

4981
Major changes:
4982
 
4983
Minor changes:
4984
  * JATS environment
4985
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4986
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4987
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4988
 
4989
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4990
 
4991
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4992
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4993
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4994
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4995
    to be packaged.
4996
 
4997
  * Generated makefiles
4998
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4999
 
5000
  * Generating MOS THX files
5001
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5002
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5003
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5004
 
5005
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5006
 
5007
  * JATS release
5008
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5009
 
5010
  * JATS extract
5011
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5012
 
5013
  * JATS Toolset
5014
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5015
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5016

5021
Major changes:
5022
 
5023
Minor changes:
5024
  * jats label
5025
    Added a -vob=name option
5026
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5027
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5028
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5029
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5030
 
5031
    Added a -user=name option
5032
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5033
    label to the named user.
5034
 
5035
  * jats release
5036
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5037
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5038
 
5039
  * JATS build.pl
5040
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5041
    ie:
5042
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

5047
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5048
Major changes:
5049
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5050
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5051
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5052
    the makefile internals. ie:
5053
        --Var(BuildName)
5054
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5055
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5056
 
5057
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5058
 
5059
  * GenerateFiles
5060
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5061
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5062
 
5063
  * BuildPlatforms
5064
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5065
 
5066
Minor changes:
5067
  * GCC Toolset
5068
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5069
 
5070
Internal changes:
5071
  * GenerateFiles
5072
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5073
 
5074
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5075
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5076

Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5081
Major changes:
5082
  * Caching JATS
5083
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5084
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5085
 
5086
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5087
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5088
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5089
 
5090
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5091
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5092
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5093
 
5094
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5095
 
5096
Minor changes:
5097
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5098
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5099
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5100
 
5101
  * jats build
5102
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5103
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5104
    processed by the build.
5105
 
5106
  * jats build
5107
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5108
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5109
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5110
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5111
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5112
 
5113
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5114
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5115
    Path is not specified.
5116
 
5117
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5118
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5119
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5120
        --Dir=$Pinc
5121
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5122
 
5123
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5124
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5125
    Windows platform.
5126
 
5127
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5128
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5129
            by 'purecov.
5130
 
5131
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5132
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5133
 
5134
        - OPTIONS=purify
5135
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5136
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5137
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.

5143
Major changes:
5144
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5145
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5146
    Example:
5147
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5148
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5149
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5150
 
5151
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5152
    been determined.
5153
 
5154
Minor changes:
5155
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5156
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5157
    located at build-time.
5158
 
5159
  * Unix based systems
5160
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5161
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5162
 
5163
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5164
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5165
    driver being built.

5179
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5180
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5181
 
5182
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5183
    dependancy information within a package.
5184
 
5185
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5186
    messages.

5198
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5199
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5200
                      be run on every invocation.
5201
 
5202
 
5203

5208
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5209
  There are two mechanism:
5210
 
5211
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5212
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5213
 
5214
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5215
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5216
 
5217
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5218
  default.

  * SunWorks Toolset
5227
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5228
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5229
    It is based on machine type.
5230
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5231
 
5232
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5233
 
5234

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5262
 
5263
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5264
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5265
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5266
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5267
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5268
 
5269
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5270
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS

        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5273
 
5274
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5275
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

5334
 
5335
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5336
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5337
    Theses are:
5338
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5339
        SOLARIS_AMD
5340
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5341
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5342
 
5343
Minor changes:

5359
    messages
5360
 
5361
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5362
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5363
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5364
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.

        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5376
 
5377
 
5378
  * MOS toolsets
5379
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5380
    library without creating the body of the library:
5381
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5382
 
5383
  * JATS BIN directories
5384
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5385
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5386
    using autoconf.
5387
 
5388
  * Generate directive
5389
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5390
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5391
 
5392
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5393

5396
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5397
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5398
Major changes:
5399
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5400
    Initial release.
5401
 
5402
Minor changes:
5403
 
5404
 
5405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5406
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5407
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5408
Major changes:
5409
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5410
    Initial release.
5411
 
5412
  * Packaging directives
5413
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5414
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5415
 
5416
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5417
        SOLARIS
5418
        WIN32
5419
 
5420
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5421
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5422
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5423
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5424
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5425
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5426
 
5427
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5428
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5429
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5430
 
5431
 
5432
Minor changes:
5433
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5434
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5435
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5436
 
5437
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5438
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5439
    location
5440
 
5441
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5442
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5443
 
5444
  * Utility genrc
5445
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5446
 
5447
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5448
    Added option: -new
5449
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5450
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5451
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5452
 
5453
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5454
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5455
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5456
 
5457
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5458
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5459
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5460
 
5461
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5462
   features - in a uniform manner.
5463
 
5464
 
5465
Internal Changes:
5466
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5467
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5468
 
5469
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5470
        1) Platform information available at build time
5471
        2) Dynamic platform names
5472
 
5473
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5474
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5475
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5476
 
5477
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5478
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5479
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5480
 
5481
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5482
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5483
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5484
    needed.
5485
 
5486
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5487
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5488
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5489
    files from all of these.
5490

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5492
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
5493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5494
Major changes:
5495
 
5496
Minor changes:
5497
  * WinCE toolset
5498
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
5499
 
5500
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5501
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5502
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5503
Major changes:
5504
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5505
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5506
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5507
 
5508
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5509
 
5510
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5511
    the operations.
5512
 
5513
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5514
 
5515
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5516
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5517
 
5518
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5519
 
5520
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5521
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5522
 
5523
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5524
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5525
    Extended the built-in help
5526
    Added useful error messages
5527
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5528
 
5529
  * WinCE toolset
5530
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5531
 
5532
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5533
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5534
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5535
 
5536
Minor changes:
5537
  * JATS wrapper script
5538
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5539
    the command line.
5540
 
5541
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5542
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5543
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5544
 
5545
Internal Changes:
5546
  * Common Error Reporting
5547
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5548
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5549
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5550
    level.
5551
 
5552
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5553
    displayed.
5554
 
5555
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5556
 
5557
  * Added JatsSystem module
5558
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5559
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5560
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
5561
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5562
Major changes:
5563
 
5564
Minor changes:
5565
  * BR Compiler toolset
5566
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5567
    .def files to include other files.
5568
 
5569
  * IAR toolset
5570
    Added AT7272 support
5571
 
5572
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5573
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5574
 
5575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5576
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
5577
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5578
Major changes:
5579
 
5580
Minor changes:
5581
  * BR Compiler toolset
5582
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5583
    use.
5584
 
5585
 
5586
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5587
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5588
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5589
Major changes:
5590
 
5591
Minor changes:
5592
  * Mictotec toolset
5593
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5594
    builds.
5595
 
5596
  * JATS Core
5597
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5598
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5599
    behaviour.
5600
 
5601
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5602
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5603
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5604
Major changes:
5605
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5606
    Deployment package will be affected.
5607
 
5608
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5609
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5610
 
5611
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5612
 
5613
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5614
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5615
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5616
    packages.
5617
 
5618
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5619
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5620
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5621
 
5622
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5623
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5624
 
5625
Minor changes:
5626
  * SubDir directive
5627
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5628
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5629
 
5630
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5631
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5632
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5633
    of the file usage.
5634
 
5635
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5636
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5637
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5638
 
5639
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5640
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5641
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5642
 
5643
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5644
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5645
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5646
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5647
 
5648
 
5649
Internal Changes:
5650
  * Code refactor
5651
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5652
 
5653
  * Deployment utilities
5654
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5655
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5656
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5657
    the module can locate the file.
5658
 
5659
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5660
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5661
 
5662
  * JATS core
5663
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5664
 
5665
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5666
 
5667
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5668
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5669
    through the use of environment variables.
5670
 
5671
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5672
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5673
 
5674
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5675
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5676
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5677
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5678
 
5679
  * Make environment
5680
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5681
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5682
 
5683
 
5684
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5685
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5687
Major changes:
5688
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5689
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5690
 
5691
 
5692
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5693
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5694
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5695
 
5696
Not Released.
5697
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5698
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5699
 
5700
 
5701
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5702
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5703
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5704
Major changes:
5705
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5706
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5707
    radically replaced.
5708
 
5709
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5710
    Usage:
5711
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5712
 
5713
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5714
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5715
    this solution:
5716
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5717
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5718
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5719
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5720
 
5721
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5722
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5723
    order to work.
5724
 
5725
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5726
    reduced functionality.
5727
 
5728
 
5729
Minor changes:
5730
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5731
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5732
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5733
 
5734
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5735
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5736
    within the makefiles.
5737
        Options:
5738
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5739
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5740
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5741
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5742
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5743
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5744
        Useage:
5745
 
5746
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5747
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5748
 
5749
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5750
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5751
    is not in the current directory.
5752
 
5753
  * Jats Command: ant'
5754
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5755
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5756
 
5757
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5758
 
5759
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5760
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5761
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5762
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5763
 
5764
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5765
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5766
    Thus
5767
 
5768
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5769
 
5770
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5771
 
5772
 
5773
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5774
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5775
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5776
Major changes:
5777
 
5778
Minor changes:
5779
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5780
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5781
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5782
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5783
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5784
 
5785
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5786
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5787
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5788
 
5789
Internal changes:
5790
  * JATS toolsets
5791
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5792
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5793
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5794
 
5795
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5796
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.

Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5801
Major changes:
5802
  * Jats command: etool
5803
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5804
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5805
 
5806
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5807
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5808
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5809
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5810
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5811
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5812
 
5813
Minor changes:
5814
 
5815
 
5816
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5817
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5819
Major changes:
5820
  * JATS environment variables
5821
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5822
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5823
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5824
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5825
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5826
 
5827
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5828
              Remote repository
5829
 
5830
    Added GBE_DPLY
5831
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5832
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5833
 
5834
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5835
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5836
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5837
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5838
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5839
 
5840
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5841
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5842
 
5843
 
5844
Minor changes:
5845
  * JATS utility: build
5846
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5847
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5848
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5849
 
5850
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5851
    Ensure label is not locked
5852
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5853
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5854
 
5855
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5856
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5857
    to a specific type of build.
5858
 
5859
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5860
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5861
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5862
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5863
 
5864
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5865
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5866
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5867
 
5868
  * JATS utility: release
5869
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5870
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5871
 
5872
  * JATS utility: label
5873
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5874
    when it is being created.
5875
 
5876
Internal Changes
5877
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5878
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5879
 
5880
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5881
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5882
 
5883
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5884
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5885
    different results.
5886
 
5887
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5888
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5889
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5890
 
5891
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5892
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5893
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5894
Major changes:
5895
 
5896
  * MCR toolset
5897
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5898
 
5899
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5900
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5901
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5902
Major changes:
5903
  * WIN32 utilities
5904
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5905
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5906
 
5907
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5908
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5909
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5910
 
5911
Minor changes:
5912
  * BuildVersion
5913
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5914
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5915
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5916
 
5917
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5918
 
5919
  * Unix Builds
5920
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5921
    library or a shared library.
5922
 
5923
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5924
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5925
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5926
    start with 'lib'.
5927
 
5928
  * BuildPkgArchive
5929
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5930
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5931
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5932
 
5933
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5934
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5935
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5936
Major changes:
5937
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5938
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5939
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5940
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5941
    being manually maintained.
5942
 
5943
 
5944
Minor changes:
5945
  * MakeAnt directive
5946
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5947
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5948
    supports ANT builds.
5949
 
5950
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5951
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5952
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5953
 
5954
  * Label utility
5955
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5956
    files to be labeled.
5957
 
5958
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5959
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5960
    on Solaris.
5961
 
5962
  * Generated makefiles
5963
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5964
    nothing.
5965
 
5966
  * MOS Toolset
5967
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5968
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5969
    modules.
5970
 
5971
  * Utility: gen_cots
5972
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5973
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5974
 
5975
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5976
 
5977
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5978
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5979
 
5980
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5981
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5982
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5983
Major changes:
5984
  None
5985
 
5986
Minor changes:
5987
  * DEVI addressed
5988
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 5989
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 5990
 
5991
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5992
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5993
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5994
 
5995
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5996
 
5997
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5998
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5999
 
6000
  * RunTest directive
6001
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6002
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6003
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6004
 
6005
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6006
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6007
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6008
    packaged under JATS
6009
 
6010
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6011
          supported within JATS.
6012
 
6013
  * Jats utility wrapper
6014
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6015
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6016
 
6017
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6018
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6019
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6020
 
6021
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6022
    Eg: jats ant
6023
 
6024
  * Jats utility wrapper
6025
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6026
 
5710 dpurdie 6027
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6028
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6029
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6030
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6031
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6032
 
5710 dpurdie 6033
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6034
    expect a build.pl file.
6035
 
6036
  * Jats utility wrapper
6037
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6038
 
6039
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6040
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6041
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6042
 
6043
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6044
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6045
 
6046
  * Build files
6047
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6048
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6049
 
6050
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6051
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6052
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6053
Major changes:
6054
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6055
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6056
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6057
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6058
 
6059
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6060
 
6061
Minor changes:
6062
  * None
6063
 
6064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6065
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6067
Major changes:
6068
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6069
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6070
    ie:
6071
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6072
 
6073
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6074
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6075
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6076
    environments are compatible.
6077
 
6078
 
6079
Minor changes:
6080
  * BuildName option
6081
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6082
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6083
 
6084
  * jats.bat
6085
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6086
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6087
 
6088
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6089
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6090
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6091
Major changes:
6092
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6093
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6094
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6095
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6096
 
6097
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6098
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6099
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6100
 
6101
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6102
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6103
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6104
 
6105
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6106
    transferred.
6107
 
6108
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6109
    See notes below.
6110
 
6111
  * WIN32 toolset
6112
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6113
    correctly.
6114
 
6115
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6116
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6117
 
6118
  * BuildVersion
6119
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6120
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6121
    other langauges as needed.
6122
 
6123
 
6124
Minor changes:
6125
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6126
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6127
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6128
    version strings.
6129
 
6130
  * GenerateFiles directive
6131
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6132
    package or an imported package.
6133
 
6134
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6135
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6136
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6137
 
6138
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6139
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6140
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6141
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6142
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6143
 
6144
Internal Changes
6145
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6146
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6147
    of utilities.
6148
 
6149
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6150
    functions.
6151
 
6152
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6153
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6154
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6155
Major changes:
6156
  * Generated makefiles
6157
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6158
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6159
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6160
 
6161
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6162
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6163
    incorrectly processing:
6164
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6165
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6166
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6167
    confused.
6168
 
6169
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6170
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6171
    The construct
6172
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6173
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6174
    then it works.
6175
 
6176
  * MakeAnt directive
6177
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6178
 
6179
    This option has the following effects
6180
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6181
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6182
 
6183
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6184
           early - in the generated files phase.
6185
 
6186
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6187
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6188
 
6189
 
6190
Minor changes:
6191
  * JATS post-installation script
6192
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6193
 
6194
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6195
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6196
    windows.
6197
 
6198
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6199
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6200
 
6201
  * Jats wrapper script
6202
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6203
        1) Contain spaces
6204
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6205
 
6206
  * Toolset
6207
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6208
 
6209
  * JAVA toolset
6210
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6211
    directive:
6212
 
6213
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6214
 
6215
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6216
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6217
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6218
 
6219
  * GCC Toolset
6220
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6221
 
6222
  * Makefile generation
6223
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6224
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6225
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6226
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6227
    package could not be used.
6228
 
6229
  * Unit Tests
6230
    The following environment variables are set:
6231
 
6232
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6233
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6234
 
6235
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6236
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6237
 
6238
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6239
 
6240
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6241
 
6242
 
6243
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6244
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6245
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6246
Major changes:
6247
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6248
 
6249
    Special features of this toolset.
6250
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6251
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6252
       incorporated within the target image.
6253
 
6254
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6255
       --Set=Name=Value
6256
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6257
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6258
 
6259
       --Ref=name
6260
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6261
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6262
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6263
                will be taken from the build version number.
6264
 
6265
Minor changes:
6266
  * MOS Toolset
6267
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6268
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6269
    packaged.
6270
 
6271
  * Src directive
6272
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6273
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6274
    specifier.
6275
 
6276
  * WIN32 runtime support
6277
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6278
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6279
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6280
 
6281
Internal:
6282
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6283
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6284
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6285
 
6286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6287
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6288
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6289
Major changes:
6290
    * BuildAlias directive
6291
      Added options.
6292
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6293
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6294
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6295
                          targets.
6296
      Eg:
6297
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6298
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6299
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6300
 
6301
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6302
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6303
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6304
 
6305
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6306
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6307
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6308
 
6309
 
6310
Minor changes:
6311
  * Label utility
6312
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6313
    build.pl file
6314
 
6315
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6316
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6317
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6318
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6319
    --FilterIn option.
6320
 
6321
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6322
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6323
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6324
 
6325
  * Location of descpkg file
6326
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6327
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6328
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6329
 
6330
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6331
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6332
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6333
Major changes:
6334
  * RunTest directive
6335
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6336
    Additional options
6337
      --CopyIn=file
6338
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6339
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6340
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6341
        the test area.
6342
 
6343
    Additional operations
6344
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6345
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6346
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6347
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6348
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6349
    Allows flags:
6350
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6351
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6352
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6353
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6354
 
6355
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6356
    existence is tested.
6357
 
6358
  * Packaging Directives
6359
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6360
    such as LMOS.
6361
 
6362
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6363
 
6364
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6365
 
6366
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6367
 
6368
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6369
 
6370
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6371
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6372
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6373
 
6374
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6375
 
6376
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6377
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6378
 
6379
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6380
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6381
 
6382
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6383
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6384
 
6385
Minor changes:
6386
  * Script directive
6387
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6388
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6389
 
6390
  * JATS environment
6391
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6392
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6393
    the JATS wrapper script.
6394
 
6395
  * Label utility
6396
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6397
    There are three modes of operation:
6398
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6399
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6400
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6401
 
6402
 
6403
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6404
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6406
Major changes:
6407
 
6408
Minor changes:
6409
  * label utility
6410
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6411
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6412
 
6413
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6414
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6415
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6416
      --ProgLoader=name
6417
 
6418
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6419
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6420
    Options to do this are:
6421
        --TreeDir=name
6422
        --FilterOut=regexp
6423
        --FilterIn=regexp
6424
        --StripDir
6425
 
6426
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6427
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6428
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6429
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6430
 
6431
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6432
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6433
 
6434
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6435
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6436
 
6437
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6438
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6439
 
6440
 
6441
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6442
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6443
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6444
Major changes:
6445
    * Make commands
6446
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6447
 
6448
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6449
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6450
 
6451
    * Label utility
6452
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6453
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6454
 
6455
Minor changes:
6456
    * Toolsets
6457
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6458
      variables and overrides.
6459
 
6460
      The make_init target is always run.
6461
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6462
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6463
 
6464
    * Deployment
6465
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6466
      with deployment operations.
6467
 
6468
    * Release utility
6469
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6470
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6471
      restricted by options within the build.
6472
 
6473
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6474
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6475
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6476
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6477
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6478
 
6479
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6480
      directives.
6481
 
6482
    * MakeProject directive
6483
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6484
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6485
 
6486
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6487
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6488
      is preserved.
6489
 
6490
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6491
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6492
      statements.
6493
 
6494
    * Mugfile generation
6495
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6496
      be placed in the target package.
6497
 
6498
 
6499
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6500
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6501
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6502
Major changes:
6503
    * BuildVersion directive
6504
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6505
      number as well as a patch number.
6506
 
6507
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6508
      number.
6509
 
6510
Minor changes:
6511
    * AddFlags directives
6512
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6513
      duplicate flags being added.
6514
 
6515
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6516
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6517
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6518
 
6519
    * Mug File Generation
6520
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6521
 
6522
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6523
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6524
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6525
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6526
     directory.
6527
 
6528
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6529
     reproducible.
6530
 
6531
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6532
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6533
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6534
Major changes:
6535
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6536
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6537
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6538
      longer a list of directories.
6539
 
6540
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6541
      done within the toolset.
6542
 
6543
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6544
 
6545
    * JATS environment variables
6546
      Redefined variable
6547
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6548
                          Previously was a list that included the
6549
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6550
 
6551
      New variable
6552
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6553
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6554
 
6555
 
6556
Minor changes:
6557
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6558
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6559
      target platforms to be extracted.
6560
 
6561
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6562
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6563
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6564
 
6565
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6566
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6567
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6568
 
6569
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6570
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6571
 
6572
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6573
      Support ANT based XML files
6574
 
6575
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6576
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6577
      structure.
6578
 
6579
    * makefile.pl's
6580
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6581
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6582
 
6583
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6584
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6585
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6586
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6587
 
6588
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6589
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6590
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6591
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6592
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6593
      -- Auto.
6594
 
6595
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6596
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6597
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6598
 
6599
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6600
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6601
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6602
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6603
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6604
 
6605
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6606
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6607
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6608
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6609
      installed on the machine.
6610
 
6611
    * WINCE Targets
6612
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6613
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6614
 
6615

Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6619
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6620
Major changes:
6621
    * WIN32 platforms
6622
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6623
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6624
      and installed packages.
6625
 
6626
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6627
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6628
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6629
 
6630
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6631
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6632
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6633
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6634
      searched when looking for libraries.
6635
 
6636
Minor changes:
6637
    * GenerateFiles directive
6638
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6639
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6640
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6641
                          and drive letter
6642
 
6643
    * Src directive
6644
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6645
      directory of a package.
6646
 
6647
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6648
 
6649
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6650
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6651
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6652
 
6653
    * jats_rewrite utility
6654
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6655
 
6656
 
6657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6658
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6659
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6660
Major changes:
6661
    * SunWorks production builds
6662
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6663
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6664
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6665
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6666
      compiler documentation.
6667
 
6668
    * MOS Toolset
6669
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6670
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6671
 
6672
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6673
 
6674
Minor changes:
6675
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6676
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6677
      This should not affect current users.
6678
 
6679
    * Mugfile generation
6680
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6681
      specified.
6682
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6683
 
6684
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6685
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6687
Major changes:
6688
    MOS Toolset
6689
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6690
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6691
 
6692
Minor changes:
6693
    * Jats wrapper script
6694
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6695
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6696
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6697
 
6698
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6699
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6700
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6701
      may be suspect.
6702
 
6703
    * GenerateFiles directive
6704
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6705
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6706
 
6707
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6708
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6709
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6710
Major changes:
6711
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6712
      build.xml files.
6713
 
6714
Minor changes:
6715
    * WIN32 toolset.
6716
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6717
 
6718
    * MakeAnt
6719
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6720
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6721
 
6722
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6723
 
6724
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6725
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6726
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6727
 
6728
    * MakeAnt directive
6729
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6730
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6731
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6732
 
6733
      Recommended usage:
6734
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6735
 
6736
Internal Changes
6737
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6738

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6742
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6743
Major changes:
6744
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6745
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6746
      files packaged into the release.
6747
 
6748
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6749

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6752
 
6753
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6754
      The recommended platform is:
6755
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6756
 
6757
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6758
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6759
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6760
      components.
6761
 
6762
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
6763

6766
 
6767
Minor changes:
6768
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6769
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6770
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6771
      by the package to be accessed.
6772
 
6773
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6774
      application or visual studio.
6775
 
6776
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6777
      and the JATS Core path.
6778
 
6779
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6780
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6781
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6782
 
6783
    * MOS Toolset
6784
      Add support for the TPT device
6785
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6786
 
6787
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6788
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6789
 
6790
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6791
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6792
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6793
 
6794
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6795
 
6796
Internal Changes
6797
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6798
      in jats.pl
6799
 
6800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6801
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6802
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6803
Major changes:
6804
    * JATS wrapper script
6805
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6806
 
6807
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6808
 
6809
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6810
 
6811
Minor changes:
6812
    * Deployment support
6813
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6814
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6815
 
6816
    * 'build'
6817
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6818
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6819
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6820
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6821
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6822
 
6823
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6824
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6825
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6826
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6827
                                      the link phase.
6828
 
6829
    * BuildPkgArchive
6830
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6831
      Previously these were ignored.
6832
      Minor code cleanup
6833
 
6834
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6835
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6836
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6837
 
6838
    * SOLARIS targets
6839
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6840
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6841
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6842
 
6843
    * MugFile generation
6844
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6845
      included in the final package.
6846
 
6847
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6848
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6849
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6850
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6851
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6852
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6853
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6854
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6855
 
6856
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6857
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6858
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6859
            --Option=(some_text)
6860
            --Option=[some_text]
6861
            --Option={some_text}
6862
 
6863
Internal Changes
6864
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6865
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6866
      code.
6867
 
6868

6869
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6870
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6871
Major changes:
6872
    * JATS wrapper script
6873
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6874
 
6875
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6876
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6877
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6878
      other components.
6879
 
6880
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6881
 
6882
    * JATS
6883
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6884
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6885
 
6886
    * Build operations
6887
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6888
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6889
      packages.
6890
 
6891
    * Make operations
6892
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6893
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6894
 
6895
Minor changes:
6896
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6897
      deployment builds.
6898
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6899
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6900
 
6901
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6902
 
6903
    * build.pl
6904
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6905
        processed. Allows
6906
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6907
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6908
        production.
6909
 
6910
    * MOS toolset
6911
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6912
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6913
 
6914
    * create_dpkg utility
6915
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6916
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6917
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6918
      progress of the build.
6919
 
6920
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6921
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6922
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6923
      system.
6924

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6928
Major changes:
6929
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6930
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6931
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6932
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6933
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6934
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6935
 
6936
    * WCEX86A500 target
6937
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6938
 
6939

6940
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6941
      the compiler.
6942
 
6943
    * RunTest directive
6944
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6945
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6946
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6947
 
6948
Minor changes:
6949
    * JATS BUILD
6950
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6951
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6952
      highlight bad settings.
6953
 
6954
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6955
      access to extensions.
6956

        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6974
 
6975
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6976
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6977
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6978
      Package directives.
6979
 
6980
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6981
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6982
      system.
6983
 
6984

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6987
Major changes:
6988
    * MOS Toolset
6989
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6990
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6991
 
6992

      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6994
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6995
      list.
6996
 
6997
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6998
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6999
 
7000
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7001
 
7002
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7003
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7004
 
7005
 
7006
Minor changes:
7007
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7008
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7009
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7010
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7011
      corrected.
7012
 
7013
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7014
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7015
 
7016
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7017
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7018
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7019

7021
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7022
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7023
Major changes:
7024
    * WIN32 Toolset
7025
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7026
      use with multithreaded modes.
7027
 
7028
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7029
      --OnlyProd.
7030
 
7031
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7032
      within the makefile.pl.
7033
 
7034
Minor changes:
7035
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7036
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7037
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7038
      platforms.
7039
 
7040
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7041
 
7042
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7043
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7044
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7045
Major changes:
7046
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7047
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7048
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7049
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7050
 
7051
    * Preliminary Support
7052
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7053
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7054
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7055
 
7056
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7057
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7058
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7059
 
7060
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7061
      building. The default build will build both.
7062
 
7063
Minor changes:
7064
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7065
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7066
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7067
 
7068
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7069
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7070
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7071
 
7072
 
7073
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7074
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7075
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7076
Major changes:
7077
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7078
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7079
      or all.
7080
 
7081
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7082
      the library or program.
7083
 
7084
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7085
 
7086
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7087
      library or any debug files.
7088
 
7089
    * GenerateFiles
7090
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7091
 
7092
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7093
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7094
 
7095
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7096
              The filename of the prereq file
7097
 
7098
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7099
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7100
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7101
 
7102
 
7103
Minor changes:
7104
    * create_dpkg utility
7105
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7106
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7107
      the package has been altered.
7108

7112
Major changes:
7113
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7114
      This is a WINCE target
7115
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7116
 
7117
    * New toolset
7118
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7119
 
7120
    * Modified toolset
7121
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7122
 
7123
    * Modified toolset
7124
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7125
 
7126
Minor changes:
7127
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7128
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7129
 
7130
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7131
 
7132
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7133
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7134
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7135
 
7136
      The change allows the construct
7137
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7138
      to be replaced by the simpler
7139
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7140
 
7141
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7142
      specified name.    
7143

7162
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7163
Major changes:
7164
    * The "package.pl" file.
7165
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7166
      package name being taken from the build name
7167
 
7168
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7169
      package Build Name.
7170
 
7171
Minor changes:
7172
    * create_dpkg utility
7173
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7174
 
7175

7178
Major changes:
7179
 
7180
Minor changes:
7181
    * Dependancy generator
7182
      Correct two common situations
7183
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7184
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7185
           ansi, but is often done.
7186
 
7187
    * GCC toolset
7188
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7189
      being created in the correct place.
7190
 
7191
    * jats "label"
7192
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7193
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7194
 
7195
 
7196
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7197
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7198
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7199
Major changes:
7200
 
7201
Minor changes:
7202
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7203
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7204
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7205
 
7206
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7207
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7208
 
7209
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7210
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7211
      package was not being transferred.
7212
 
7213
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7214
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7215
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7216
Major changes:
7217
    * Support for solaris_i386
7218
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7219
      binaries for this target.
7220
 
7221
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7222
      with the GCC compiler.
7223
 
7224
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7225
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7226
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7227
 
7228
Minor changes:
7229
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7230
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7231
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7232
 
7233
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7234
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7235
 
7236
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7237
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7239
Major changes:
7240
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7241
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7242
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7243
 
7244
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7245
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7246
 
7247
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7248
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7249
      with either " or ' characters.
7250
 
7251
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7252
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7253
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7254
 
7255
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7256
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7257
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7258
 
7259
    * Jats wrapper
7260
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7261
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7262
      further commands.
7263
 
7264
Minor changes:
7265
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7266
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7267
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7268
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7269
 
7270
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7271
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7272
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7273
Major changes:
7274
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7275
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7276
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7277
 
7278
      These options operation affect all components within the
7279
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7280
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7281
 
7282
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7283
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7284
 
7285
Minor changes:
7286
 
7287
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7288
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7290
Major changes:
7291
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7292
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7293
 
7294
Minor changes:
7295
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7296
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7297
 
7298
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7299
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7300
 
7301
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7302
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7303
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7304
Major changes:
7305
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7306
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7307
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7308
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7309
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7310
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7311
      installed.
7312
 
7313
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7314
      libraries that depend on each other.
7315
 
7316
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7317
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7318
 
7319
Minor changes:
7320
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7321
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7322
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7323
 
7324
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7325
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7326
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7327
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7328
 
7329
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7330
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7331
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7332
Major changes:
7333
 
7334
Minor changes:
7335
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7336
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7337
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7338
      file.
7339
 
7340
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7341
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7342
 
7343
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7344
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7345
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7346
 
7347
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7348
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7349
 
7350
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7351
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7352
 
7353
    * WinCE toolsets
7354
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7355
      compiler specific libraries.
7356
 
7357
    * SOLARIS toolset
7358
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7359
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7360
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7361
 
7362
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7363
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7364
      cleaned up.
7365
 
7366
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7367
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7368
 
7369
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7370
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7371
      with either " or ' characters.
7372

7376
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7377
Major changes:
7378
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7379
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7380
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7381
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7382
 
7383
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7384
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7385
 
7386
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7387
      user.
7388
 
7389
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7390
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7391
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7392
 
7393
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7394
      for the   -Gf option.
7395
 
7396
Minor changes:
7397
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7398
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line

7400
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7401
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7402
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7403
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7404
 
7405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7406
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7407
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7408
Major changes:
7409
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7410
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7411
 
7412
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7413
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7414
      data addresses for the board.
7415
 
7416
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7417
 
7418
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7419
 
7420
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7421
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7422
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7423
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7424
         PackageFile
7425
 
7426
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7427
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7428
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7429
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7430
 
7431
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7432
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7433
      to be installed and packaged.
7434
 
7435
Minor changes:
7436
 
7437
    * cache_dpkg utility
7438
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7439
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7440
 
7441
    * label utility
7442
      New option -auto to create and label
7443
 
7444
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7445
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7446
 
7447
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7448
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7449
      directory. ie:
7450
 
7451
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7452
 
7453
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7454
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7455
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7456
 
7457
 
7458
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7459
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7460
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7461
Major changes:
7462
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7463
 
7464
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7465
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7466
 
7467
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7468
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7469
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7470
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7471
 
7472
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7473
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7474
      compilation.
7475
 
7476
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7477
 
7478
Minor changes:
7479
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7480
      one is being produced.
7481
 
7482
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7483
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7484
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7485
 
7486
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7487
 
7488
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7489
 
7490
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7491
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7492
 
7493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7494
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7495
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7496
Major changes:
7497
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7498
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7499
 
7500
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7501
 
7502
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7503
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7504
      same directory
7505
 
7506
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7507
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7508
      documenattion.
7509
 
7510
Minor changes:
7511
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7512
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7513
 
7514
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7515
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7516
 
7517
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7518
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7519
 
7520
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7521
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7522
 
7523
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7524
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7525
      be exempt from this test.
7526
 
7527
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7528
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7529
 
7530
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7531
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7532
 
7533
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7534
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7535
      does.
7536
 
7537
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7538
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7539
 
7540
 
7541
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7542
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7543
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7544
Major changes:
7545
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7546
 
7547
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7548
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7549
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7550
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7551
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7552
 
7553
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7554
      operations.
7555
 
7556
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7557
 
7558
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7559
 
7560
Minor changes
7561
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7562
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7563
 
7564
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7565
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7566
      directory is not added to the library path.
7567
 
7568
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7569
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7570
 
7571
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7572
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7573
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7574
 
7575
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7576
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7577
      specific flags.
7578
 
7579
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7580
 
7581
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7582
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7583
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7584
 
7585
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7586
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7587
      JATS.
7588
 
7589
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7590
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7591
 
7592
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7593
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7594
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7595
 
7596
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7597
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7598
 
7599
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7600
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7601
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7602
 
7603
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7604
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7605
 
7606
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7607
 
7608
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7609
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7610
 
7611
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7612
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7613
      objects.
7614
 
7615
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7616
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7617
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7618
      build defendants.
