    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
516
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
517
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
518
 
519
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
520
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
521
      duplicates corrected.

    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
524
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
525

526
 
527
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
528
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
529
      displayed at the end of the build process.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
710
Minor changes:
711
    * Build System Utility: create_dpkg
4688 dpurdie 712
      When creating the file list for release notes, convert filenames 
713
      to utf-8 for consistent handling.
4652 dpurdie 714
 
715
      Will add its own 'built' files to the package metadata file.
716
 
717
    * VS2012 Toolset
718
      [JATS-308] Running jats from VS2012 Developer command prompt
719
 
4688 dpurdie 720
    * EnvVars
721
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
722
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
723
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
724
 
725
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
726
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
727
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
728
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
729
 
730
    * Jats caching
731
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
732
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed
733
      up jats startup.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
756
Minor changes:
757
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
758
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
759
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
760
 
761
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
762
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
763
 
764
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
765
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
766
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
767
 
768
    * Jats Internal: Database access
769
      Rebuilt the database access tools using Java 1.4

      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

1068
Major changes:
1069
 
1070
Minor changes:
1071
    * Utility: update_release
1072
      Added options:
1073
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1074
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1075
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1076
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1077
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1078
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1079
 
1080
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1081
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
1082
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
1083
 
1084
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
1085
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
1086

1089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1090
Major changes:
1091
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1092
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1093
      intended to build deployed software.
1094
 
1095
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1096
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1097
 
1098
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1099
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1100
 
1101
Minor changes:
1102
    * Jats wrapper script
1103
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1104
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1105
      Subversion instance of the command.
1106
 
1107
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1108
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1109
 
1110
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1111
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1112
 
1113
    * Utility: jats upddep
1114
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1115
      file under windows.
1116
 
1117
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1118
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1119
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1120
 
1121
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1122
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1123
 
1124
    * GCC Toolchain
1125
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1141
Major changes:
1142
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1143
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1144
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1145
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1146
 
1147
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1148
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

3559 dpurdie 1157
 
1158
Minor changes:
1159
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1160
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1161
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1162
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1163
      line.
1164
 
1165
    * Jats Configuration
1166
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1167
 
1168
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1169
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1170
      and Linux.
1171
 
1172
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1173
      correctly rippled.

Major changes:
1179
 
1180
Minor changes:
1181
    * Jats Core
1182
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1183
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1184
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1185
 
1186
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1187
      Used only by the build daemons.
1188
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1189
 
1190
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1191
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1192
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

1197
Major changes:
1198
 
1199
Minor changes:
1200
    * svnrelease utility
1201
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1202
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1203
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1204
 
1205
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1206
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1207
      the named tag.
1208
 
1209
    * svnrelease utility
1210
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1211
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
1221
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
1222
        covered by the makefile.
1223
 
1224
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1225
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1226
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1227
 
1228
    * ALL Toolsets
1229
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1230
 
1231
    * Utility vcsdiff
1232
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1233
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1234
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
1242
    * Subversion Extraction
1243
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1244
      directory of the tag.
1245
 
1246
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1247
      repository.
1248
 
1249
    * Subversion Support
1250
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1251
      showing the user what to do.
1252
 
1253
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1254
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1255
      we have build support for this target.
1256
 
1257
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1258
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1259
 
1260
Internal:
1261
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1262
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1263
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1264
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Major changes:
1279
 
1280
Minor changes:
1281
    * Makefile generation
1282
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1283
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1284
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1285
      of warnings.
1286
 
1287
    * Makefile Generation
1288
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
1289

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1297
Major changes:
1298
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1299
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1300
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1301
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1302
 
1303
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1304
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1305
      windows path scheme.
1306
 
1307
Minor changes:
1308
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1309
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1310
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1311
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1312
 
1313
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1314
        jats make clobber
1315
      This operates as before.
1316
 
1317
    * Utility: escrow
1318
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1319
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1320
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1321
 
1322
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1323
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1324
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1325
 
1326
    * Utility: svn : url
1327
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1328
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1329
 
1330
    * Utility: svn : import
1331
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1332
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1333
 
1334
    * Subversion Support
1335
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1336
      showing the user what to do.
1337
 
1338
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1339
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1340
      repositories.

1345
 
1346
Minor changes:
1347
    * Jats build
1348
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1349
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1350
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1351
 
1352
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1353
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 1354

1363
      Added two subcommands
1364
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1365
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1366
                 Can also display available branches.
1367
 
2054 dpurdie 1368
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
1369

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
1374
 
1375
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1376
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1377
      Modified two options:
1378
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1379
                        The named branch must not exist
1380
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1381
                        The named branch must exist
1382
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

1391
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
1392
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
1393
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

Major changes:
1418
    * Jats Version Number
1419
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
1421
      significantly.

      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1446
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1447
 
1448
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1449
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1450
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1451
 
1452
    * Linux support utilities
1453
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
1454
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
1455
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

Version:  2.100.6000.cr                               Released: 30-Jul-12
1459
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1460
Major changes:
1461
    * Subversion Repository location
1462
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1463
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1464
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1465
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
1466
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1467
 
1468
Minor changes:
1469
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1470
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1471
 
1472
    * Utility: svnrelease
1473
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1474
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1475
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1476
 
1477
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1478
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1479
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1480
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1481
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1482
 
1483
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1484
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1485
 
1486
    * Utility: sandbox
1487
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
1488
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1489
 
1490
      Subcommand: populate
1491
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1492
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1493
      sandbox.
1494
 
1495
    * Subversion Support
1496
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1497
      repository is not supported.
1498
 
1499
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1500
      a progress indication.
1501
 
1502
    * Jats Online Documentation
1503
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1504
      online documentation.
1505
 
1506
    * Generated makefiles
1507
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1557

1558
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
1559
 
1560

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1584
Major changes:
1585
 
1586
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1587
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1588
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1589
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1590
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1591
 
1592
    * C# Toolchain
1593

    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
1605
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
1606
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1607
 
1608
    * Utility ccrelease
1609
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1610
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1611
 
1612
    * Utility: svn
1613
      Improved package import processing.
1614
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1642
Major changes:
1643
 
1644
Minor changes:
1645
    * Command: jats clobber
1646
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1647
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1648
 
1649
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1650
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1651
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1652
 
1653
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1654
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1655
 
377 dpurdie 1656
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1657
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1658
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1659
 
1660
    * jats svnlabel
1661
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1662
 
1663
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1664
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1665
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1666
 
1667
    * Built Daemon support
1668
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1669
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches

1673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1674
Major changes:
1675
    * GCC Toolset
1676
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1677
      New methodology is:
1678
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1679
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1680
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1681
        as the main binary.
1682
 
1683
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1684
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1685
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1686
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1687
      both worlds.
1688
 
1689
Minor changes:
1690
    * HTML Documentation
1691
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1692

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1701
Major changes:
1702
    * Jats Sandbox
1703
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1704
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1705
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1706
 
1707
    * RIORDS Platform
1708

      Platform is RIORDS. This uses the MSP430 toolchain.
369 dpurdie 1727
      Beta release of this toolchain
1728
 
1729
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1730
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
1731
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1732
 
1733
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1734
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1735
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1736
      a vob.
1737
 
1738
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

1772
    * Jats startup
1773
      Jats will report an error if started in a directory that is inaccessible

1775
      in inaccessible directory.
1776

    * jats build -noforce
1824
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1825
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1826
      be forced.
1827
 
1828
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1829
 
1830
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1831
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1832
 
1833
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1834
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1835
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1836
 
1837
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1838
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1839

      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
2236
      resulting in multiple builds.
2237
 
2238
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
2239
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
2240
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
2241
 
2242
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
2243
 
2244
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2245
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
2246
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

331 dpurdie 2249
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
2250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2251
Major changes:
2252
 
2253
Minor changes:
2254
    * Jats label command
2255
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2256
      Not recommended for general use.
2257
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2258
      directories within the current view.
2259
 
2260
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2261
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2262
      elsewhere.
2263
 
2264
    * Jats save_build
2265
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2266
      the determination of a branch.
2267
 
2268
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2269
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2270
 
2271
    * Jats build
2272
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2273
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2274
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2275
 
2276
    * Borland6 toolset
2277
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2278
      to match the documented install location of:
2279
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2280
 
2281
    * Jats build
2282
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2283
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2284
      This is a very quick operation.
2285
 
2286
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2287
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2288
 
2289
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2290
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2291
      files are only recreated if need be.
2292
 
2293
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2294
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2295
      make the package.
2296
 
2297
    * Jats sandbox
2298
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2299
 
2300
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2301
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2302
 
2303
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2304
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2305
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2306
      is performed.
2307
 
2308
Internal:
2309
    * build.pl
2310
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

2329
Major changes:
2330
    * New compiler support
2331
      Support for the Keil Arm V4.03a compiler
2332
      This is enabled via:
2333
        build.pl: BuildPlatforms ( 'H400,--Version=4.03a' );

2342
Major changes:
2343
 
2344
Minor changes:
2345
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2346
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2347
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2348
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2349
 
2350
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2351
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2352
 
2353
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2354
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2355
      platform builds.
2356
 
2357
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2358
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2359
      directory tree.
2360
 
2361
    * New command: jats man
2362
      Produces full help on a specified item.
2363
 
2364
Internal changes:
2365
    * jats upddep
2366
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
2367
 
2368
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
2369
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined
2370
      Not yet in use.

323 dpurdie 2373
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
2374
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2375
Major changes:
2376
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2377
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2378
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2379
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2380
 
2381
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2382
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2383
 
2384
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2385
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2386
 
2387
      Examples:
2388
            jats upddep -show
2389
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2390
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2391
 
2392
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2393
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2394
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2395
 
2396
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2397
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2398
 
2399
Minor changes:
2400
 
2401
Internal changes:
2402
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
2403
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
2407
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2408
Major changes:
2409
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2410
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2411
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2412
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2413
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2414
      stream.
2415
 
2416
      Example:
2417
 
2418
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2419
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2420
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2421
                     );
2422
Minor changes:
2423
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2424
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2425
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2426
      directive.
2427
 
2428
    * GCC Toolkit
2429
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2430
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2431
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2432
      the point of termination.
2433
 
2434
    * Jats save_build utility
2435
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2436
      under windows.
2437
 
2438
    * Jats sandbox
2439
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2440
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2441
      in different sandboxes.
2442
 
2443
    * Jats release
2444
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2445

Minor changes:
2452
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2453
      Added -locatedir=name
2454
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2455
      directory.
2456
 
2457
    * jats label utility
2458
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2459
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2460
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2461
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2462
 
2463
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2464

2470
Minor changes:
2471
    * WinCe Toolsets
2472
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2473
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2474
        noExceptions            - Disable
2475
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2476
      Example:
2477
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2478
 
2479
    * Solaris targets
2480
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2481
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2482
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2483
      machine type.
2484

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
2487
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2488
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2489
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2490
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2491
      project files.
2492
 
2493
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2494
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2495
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2496
 
2497
Minor changes:
2498
    * Added more internal documentation
2499
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2500
 
2501
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2502
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2503
 
2504
    * Jats save_build utility
2505
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2506
      under windows.
2507
 
2508
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2509
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2510
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2511
      libraries.
2512
 
2513
    * Solaris builds
2514
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2515
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2516
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2517
      of the build failure.
2518
 
2519
 
2520
Internal changes:
2521
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2522
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2523
 
2524
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2525
      PkgArchive topics.

2529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2530
Major changes:
2531
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2532
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2533
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2534
      existing 32-bit builds.
2535
 
2536
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
2537
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
2538
 
2539
Minor changes:
2540
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
2541
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2542
 
2543
    * Package searching
2544
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2545
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2546
 
2547
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2548
 
2549
    * jats help
2550
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2551
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2552
 
2553
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2554
      with one of:
2555
        jats -h
2556
        jats help jats
2557
 
2558
Internal:
2559
    * cmdfile utility
2560
      Added macros:
2561
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2562
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2563
 
2564
      Corrected
2565
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
2566
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
2567
 
2568
      Extended
2569
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2570
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2571
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2572
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

2581
Internal changes
2582
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2583
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2584
      Useful side effects include:
2585
 
2586
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2587
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2588
 
2589
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2590
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2591
 
2592
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2593
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2594
        BuildPkgArchive
2595
 
313 dpurdie 2596
    * Perl Modules
2597
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2598
      release. This will:
2599
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2600
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2601
          reported by ERG.
2602
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2611
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2612
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2613
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2614
 
2615
    * Jats label utility
2616
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2617
 
2618
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2619
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2620
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2621
 
2622
    * Jats core
2623
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2624
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2625
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
2634
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2635
      This is now fixed.
2636
 
309 dpurdie 2637
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2638
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2639
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2640
 
2641
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2642
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

2649
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 2650
    * Generating makefiles
2651
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2652
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2653
      an error.
2654
 
2655
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2656
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2657
 
2658
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2659
      Highly specialized directive.

2665
Major changes:
2666
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2667
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2668
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2669
 
2670
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2671
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2672
 
2673
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2674
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2675
      Support includes
2676
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2677
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2678
 
2679
Minor changes:
2680
    * Build file processing
2681
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2682
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2683
 
2684
    * MOS builds
2685
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2686
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2687
 
2688
    * MOS builds
2689
      New 'known' product: PICP
2690
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2691
 
2692
    * GenerateFiles directive
2693
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2694
        under windows.
2695
 
2696
        .
2697
 
2698
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2699
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2700
 
2701
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2702
      to the output stream.
2703
 
2704
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2705
 
2706
    * Windows Shell
2707
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2708
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2709
 
2710
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2711
 
2712
    * H8S toolset
2713
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2714
 
2715
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2716
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2717
 
2718
Internal changes
2719
    * WinCe builds
2720
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2721
      content of the file.
2722
 
2723
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2724
 
2725
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2726
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

Major changes:
2739
 
2740
Minor changes:
2741
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2742
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2743
      Changes are transparent to users.
2744
 
2745
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2746
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2747
      this occurs.
2748
 
2749
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2750
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2751
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2752
      automated build framework.
2753
 
2754
    * jats sandbox command
2755
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2756
      'create' command.
2757
 
2758
    * jats command aliases. Added
2759
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2760
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2765
Major changes:
2766
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2767
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2768
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2769
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2770
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2771
      will work as expected
2772
 
2773
Minor changes:
2774
    * VS2008 Toolset
2775
      Picking up incorrect config details
2776
      May result in a warning message.
2777
 
2778
    * gen_cots utility
2779
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2780
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2781
 
2782
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2783
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
2784

2830
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2831
Major changes:
2832
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2833
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2834
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2835
 
2836
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2837
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2838
 
2839
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2840
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2841
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2842
           names cannot be changed.
2843
 
2844
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2845
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2846
 
2847
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2848
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2849
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2850
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2851
 
2852
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2853
      file.
2854
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2855
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2856
      MyPackage.dpk.
2857
 
2858
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2859
      file.
2860
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2861
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2862
      MyDll.dpr.
2863
 
2864
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2865
      file.
2866
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2867
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2868
      MyProg.dpr.
2869
 
2870
Minor changes:
2871
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2872
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2873
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2874
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2875
 
2876
    * BuildVersion directive
2877
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2878
      in a Delphi Unit.
2879
 
2880
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2881
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2882
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2883
      'know' the location of the files.
2884
 
2885
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2886
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2887
 
2888
Internal Changes:
2889
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2890
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2891
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2892
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2893
 
2894
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2895
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2896
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

287 dpurdie 2899
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2901
Major changes:
2902
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2903
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2904
      information for purely C++ builds.
2905
 
289 dpurdie 2906
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2907
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2908
 
289 dpurdie 2909
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2910
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2911
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2912
 
2913
Minor changes:
2914
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2915
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2916
 
2917
    * updatenodespec utility
2918
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2919
      Manager database.

      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
2943
 
2944
Minor changes:
2945
    * MergeLibrary directive
2946
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
2947
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
2948

    * New command: jats make show
2957
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2958
      used in the build.
2959
 
2960
    * Escrow command
2961
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2962
 
2963
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2964
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2965
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2966
 
2967
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2968
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2973
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2974
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2975
 
279 dpurdie 2976
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2977
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2978
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2979
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2980
 
2981
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2982
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2983
 
2984
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2985
 
2986
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2987
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2988
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2989
 
2990
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2991
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2992
        processed.
2993
 
2994
      Removed the '-delete' option
2995
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2996
 
277 dpurdie 2997
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2998
    * Sandbox command
2999
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3000
 
3001
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3002
      target from consideration in the build set.
3003
 
3004
    * MCR Toolset
3005
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3006
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3007
 
3008
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3009
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3010
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3011
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3012

3018
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3019
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3020
 
3021
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3022
     Now contains build trace information
3023
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3024
 
3025
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3026
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3027
     it contains 'jar' files.
3028
 
3029
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3030
 
3031
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3032
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3033
 
3034
   * BuildVersion directive
3035

3205
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3206
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool

3230
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3231
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3232
 
3233
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

3399
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3400
      Previously was being done at two places
3401
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3402
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3403
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
3404
 
3405
    * JATS make: Command line
3406
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
3407
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
3408
 
3409
      It didn't work on all platforms.
3410
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
3411
 
3412
    * JATS command line
3413
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
3414
      to allow:
3415
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
3416
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
3417
        + Consistent use of option parsing
3418
 
3419
    * JATS makefile generation
3420
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
3421
      Improved readability of the generation process
3422
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
3423
      Removed dead code
3424
      Improved the creation of Progs
3425
 
3426
    * JATS error reporting
3427
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
3428
      problems.
3429
 
3430
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG
3431
      environment variables where the 'tag' contains a space.
3432
 
3433
    * Assorted Perl files
3434
      Minor corrected after running Perl Syntax check over JATS files.
3435
 
3436
    * Made the use of IFLAGS uniform for all JATS toolsets
3437
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
3438
      makefiles
3439
 
3440
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
3441
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
3442
 
3443
    * FileUtils package.
3444
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
3445
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
3446
      Used functions within JATS.

257 dpurdie 3459
Major changes:
3460
 
3461
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
3462
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3463
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3464
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3465
 
3466
Minor changes:
3467
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3468
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
3469
 
3470
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
3471
      some windows tools.

3475
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3476
Major changes:
3477
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
3478
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3479
 
3480
      New platforms:
3481
        CSHARP2005
3482
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3483
         Support extends to allow:
3484
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3485
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3486
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3487
 
3488
        VS2005
3489
         Support extends to allow:
3490
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3491
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3492
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3493
 
3494
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3495
      through a version selector:
3496
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3497
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3498
 
3499
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3500
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3501
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3502
 
3503
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3504
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3505
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3506
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3507
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3508
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3509
          under VS2005.
3510
 
3511
Minor changes:
3512
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
3513
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
3514
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
3515
 
3516
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3517
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3518
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3519
 
3520
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3521
 
3522
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3523
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3524
 
3525
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3526
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3527
      a minimal value of perl.
3528
 
3529
      Removed excessive require statements.
3530
 
3531
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3532
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3533
      Include JATS specific files for
3534
        1) Windows
3535
        2) Linux
3536
 
3537
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3538
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3539
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3540
      machines.
3541
 
3542
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3543
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3544
 
3545
    * JATS Environment
3546
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3547
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3548
 
3549
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3550
      wrapper scripts.
3551
 
3552
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3553
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3554
      Spell check help and code.

3578
      options are passed correctly.
3579
 
3580
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
3581
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
3582
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
3583
      was added.
3584
 
3585
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
3586
      reviewing a new package.
3587
 
3588
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3589
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
3590
      automatically included in the source file list.
3591
 
253 dpurdie 3592

3606
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3607
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3608
  * New toolset and platform
3609
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3610
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3611
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3612
    this platform.
3613
 
3614
Minor changes:
3615
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3616
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3617
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3618
    work.
3619
 
3620
  * Jats utility: release
3621
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3622
    published to dpkg_archive.
3623
 
249 dpurdie 3624
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3625
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3626
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3627
    supported for ANT builds.
3628
 
3629
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3630
        releasemanager.releasename
3631
        releasemanager.projectname
3632
 
3633
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3634
    tagged data item of the form
3635
 
3636
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3637
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3638
 
3639
  * Mug File Generation
3640
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3641
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3642
 
3643
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3644
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3645
    required.
3646
 
3647
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3648
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3649
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3650
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3651
    the files in order to use them.
3652
 
3653
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3654
    locate the file.
3655
 
3656
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3657
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3658
 
3659
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3660
        * CSharp
3661
        * Properties
3662
        * WinRC
3663
 
3664
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3665
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3666
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3667
    Value is correctly assigned.
3668

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3672
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3673
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3674
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3675
 
3676
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3677
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3678
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3679
 
3680
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3681
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3682
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3683
 
3684
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3685
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3686
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3687
 
3688
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3689
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3690
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3691
    correct.
3692
 
3693
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3694
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3695
 
3696
Minor changes:
3697
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3698
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3699
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3700
 
3701
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3702
    This will simplify new user setup.
3703
 
3704
  * All Unix Toolsets
3705
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3706
    on unix systems
3707
 
3708
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3709
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3710
    on some Solaris Machines.
3711
 
3712
  * JATS -version=<version>
3713
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3714
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3715
 
3716

  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
3746
    Force compiler option -nOj
3747
    The default compiler option (-Oj) has been seen to cause problems with some
3748
    code. Problem reported/analysed by rparker and thunter.
237 dpurdie 3749
 
241 dpurdie 3750
  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
3751
    Correct problem in disabling Global Optimization that was introduced in

3753
 
237 dpurdie 3754
Minor changes:
241 dpurdie 3755
  * JATS makefiles
3756
    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
3757
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
3758
 
3759
  * JATS builds
3760
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
3761
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
3762
    mode.
3763
 
3764
  * JATS makefiles
3765
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3766
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3767
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3768
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3769
                            SetList directive.
3770
 
3771
    ie: AddSrcDir ('--Project=sls' , 'sls' );
3772
        AddSrcDir ('!--Project=sls', 'default');
3773
 
3774
  * JATS makefiles. MakeProject directive

3778
        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
3779
 
3780
  * JATS buildfile processing
3781
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
3782
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
3783
    of JATS.
3784
 
3785
  * JATS save_build utility
3786
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
3787

3875
 
3876
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3877
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3878
      descpkg files to be copied.
3879
 
3880

3915
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3916
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3917
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3918
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3919
 
3920
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3921
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3922
 
3923
    * Jats wrapper
3924
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3925
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3926

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3930
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3931
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3932
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3933
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3934
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3935
 
3936
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3937
 
3938
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3939
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3940
 
3941
    * Running Jats
3942
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3943
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3944
      This may affect some windows developers.
3945
 
3946
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3947
      Future versions will generate an error.
3948
 
3949
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3950
 
3951
Minor changes:
3952
    * Perl Version Check
3953
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3954
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3955
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3956
 
3957
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3958
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3959
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3960
      build.
3961
 
3962
    * Jats Internals
3963
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3964
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3965
 
3966
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3967
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3968
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3969
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3970
      process.
3971
 
3972
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3973
      Only works under Windows.
3974
 
3975
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3976
 
3977
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3978
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3979
 
3980
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3981
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3982
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3983
 
3984
    * Jats eprog
3985
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3986
      directory.
3987
 
3988
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3989
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
3990
      build metrics.
3991

Major changes:
3996
 
3997
Minor changes:
3998
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3999
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4000
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4001
      automated build system. New options are:
4002
        -pname=Package_Name
4003
        -pversion=Package_Version
4004
 
4005
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4006
      transferring the package. New options are:
4007
        -test
4008
 
4009
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4010
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4011
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4012
 
4013
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4014
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4015
 
4016
    * Solaris Toolset
4017
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4018
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4019
      programs are still supported.
4020

4022
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
4023
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4024
Major changes:
4025
 
4026
Minor changes:
4027
    * WINCE toolsets
4028
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4029
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4030
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4031
      when header files cannot be found.
4032
 
4033
    * GenerateFiles directive
4034
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4035
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4036
      that are difficult to solve.
4037
 
4038
    * MakePerlModule directive
4039
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4040
      to the the module builder.
4041
 
4042
    * Jats Tool: label
4043
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4044
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4045
      -dirs=xxx options.
4046
 
4047
    * Jats Tool: release
4048
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4049
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4050
 
4051
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4052
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4053
 
4054
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4055
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4056
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4057
 
4058
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4064
Major changes:
4065
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
4066
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
4067
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler

      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
4069
 
4070
Minor changes:
4071
    * label utility
4072
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
4073
 
4074
    * make package and install operations
4075
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
4076
      transfer.
4077
 
4078
    * make clean up
4079
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4080
 
4081
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4082
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4083
      minor file transformations such as:
4084
        Copy, with optional rename
4085
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4086
        Perform simple TAG replacement
4087
 
4088
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
4089
 
4090
    * jats release utility
4091
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4092
      in place.
4093
 
4094
    * escrow utility
4095
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
4096
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

4102
 
4103
Minor changes:
4104
    * Makefile generation
4105
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4106
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4107
      generate phase early.
4108
 
4109

4113
 
4114
Minor changes:
4115

      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4117
 
4118
    * Makefile generation
4119
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4120
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4121
 
4122
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4123
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4124
 
4125
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4126
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4127
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4128
 
4129
    * jats_rewrite utility
4130
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4131
 
4132
    * jats escrow utility
4133
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4134
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4135
 
4136
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4137
      inconsistent packages.
4138
 
4139
    * jats make help
4140
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4141
      available within the current build.
4142
 
4143
    * jats makefiles
4144
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4145
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4146
 
4147
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4148
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4149
 
4150
    * gcc toolset
4151
      SharedLibries.
4152
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4153
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4154
 
4155
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4156
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4157
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4158
 
4159
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4160
        New options:
4161
            --MultiScan
4162
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4163
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4164
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4170
Major changes:
4171
 
4172
Minor changes:
4173
    PackageLib directive
4174
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4175
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4176
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4177
 
4178
    MakefileGenerate directive
4179
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4180
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4181
 
4182
    Multiple Parent detection
4183
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4184
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4185
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4186
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4187
 
4188
    Solaris Toolset
4189
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4190
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4191
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4192
    link.
4193
 
4194
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4195
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4196
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4197
 
4198
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4199
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4200
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4201
    file.

Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
4205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4206
Major changes:
4207
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4208
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4209
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4210
 
4211
    Summary of changes:
4212
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4213
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4214
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4215
          flexibility.
4216
 
4217
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4218
 
4219
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4220
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4221
          interface directory and associated build information.
4222
 
4223
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4224
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4225
          than one second.
4226
 
4227
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4228
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4229
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4230
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4231
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4232
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4233
 
4234
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4235
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4236
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4237
 
4238
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4239
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4240
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4241
          building them.
4242
 
4243
        - Detection of build file changes
4244
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4245
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4246
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4247
 
4248
        - Quieter make output
4249
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4250
 
4251
 
4252
Minor changes:
4253
    MakeAnt Directive
4254
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4255
 
4256
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4257
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4258
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4259
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4260
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4261
 
4262
    CSHARP toolset
4263
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4264

Minor changes:
4271
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4272
    are generated.
4273
 
4274
    MakeAnt
4275
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4276
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4277
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4278
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4279
 
4280
    MCR platform
4281
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

4289
Minor changes:
4290
    MakeAnt directive extended
4291
    New option: --PackageBase
4292
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4293
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4294
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4295
 
4296
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4297
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4298
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4299
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4319
 
4320
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4321
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4322
 
4323
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4324
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4325
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4326
 
4327
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4328
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4329
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4330
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

4357
Minor changes:
4358
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4359
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4360
 
4361
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4362
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4363
      last.
4364
 
4365
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4366
 
4367
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4368
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4369
 
4370
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4371
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4372
 
4373
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4374
 
4375
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4376
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4377
 
4378
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4379
 
4380
 
4381
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4382
           with the --System option
4383
 
4384
    * LMOS target platform

4390
Major changes:
4391
 
4392
Minor changes:
4393
    * Solaris Toolset
4394
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
4395
      dependent packages.
4396
 
4397
    * RunTest operation
4398
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4399
 
4400
    * Csharp toolkit
4401
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too

4405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4406
Major changes:
4407
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4408
 
4409
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4410
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4411
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4412
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4413
      path.
4414
 
4415
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4416
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4417
      reproducible.
4418
 
4419
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4420
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4421
 
4422
      There are several aspects to the change
4423
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4424
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4425
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4426
 
4427
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4428
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4429
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4430
          controlled separately.
4431
 
4432
Minor changes:
4433
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4434
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4435
        Remove duplicates
4436
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4437

4441
Major changes:
4442
 
4443
Minor changes:
4444
    * Makefile sanity test
4445
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4446
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4447
 
4448
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4449
      x86 machine.
4450
 
4451
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4452
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4453
 
4454
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4455
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4456
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4457
Major changes:
4458
    * RunTest directive
4459
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4460
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4461
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4462
 
4463
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4464
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4465
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4466
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4467
 
4468
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4469
        builder within the current toolset.
4470
 
4471
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4472
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4473
 
4474
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4475
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4476
      containing the RunTest directive.
4477
 
4478
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4479
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4480
 
4481
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4482
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4483
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4484
 
4485
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4486
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4487
                            P or D suffix.
4488
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4489
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4490
 
4491
Minor changes:
4492
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4493
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4494
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4495
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4496
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4497
 
4498
    * Save Build Utility
4499
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4500
      used in a ripple build.
4501
 
4502
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4503
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4504
 
4505
    * Release Utility
4506
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4507
      when an error is encountered.
4508
 
4509
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4510
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4511
 
4512
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4513
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4514
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4515
 
4516
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4517
      before the makefiles are created.
4518
 
4519
    * TestProg directive
4520
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4521
 
4522
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4523
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4524

4528
Major changes:
4529
    * New build target
4530
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4531
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4532
 
4533
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4534
            DEVLINUX
4535
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4536
 
4537
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4538
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4539
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4540
 
4541
Minor changes:
4542
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4543
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4544
 
4545
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4546
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4547
 
4548
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4549
      and .cs files.
4550
 
4551
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4552
      thing.
4553
 
4554
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4555
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4556
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4557
      were it places temp files.
4558
 
4559
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4560
      interaction with other builds.
4561
 
4562
    * Release utility command
4563
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4564
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4565
      component in the clearcase tag name.

4613
Major changes:
4614
 
4615
Minor changes:
4616
  * WINCE Support
4617
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4618
 
4619
  * Removed the following targets
4620
        TP5600
4621
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4622
        TP5600_EMU
4623
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4624
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4625
 
4626
  * Deployment
4627
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4628
 
4629
  * build.pl
4630
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4631
 
4632
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4633
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4634
 
4635
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4636
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4637
    build.
4638
 
4639
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4640
 
4641
  * Tool: escrow
4642
     New features
4643
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4644
     are not in the SBOM.
4645
 
4646
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4647
 
4648
     Specify packages to be ignored.

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

4958
Major changes:
4959
  * JATS JAVA build target
4960
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4961
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4962
 
4963
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4964
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4965
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4966
    is then picked up as the default version.
4967
 
4968
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4969
    build.pl file.
4970
 
4971
Minor changes:
4972
  * jats release
4973
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4974
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4975
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4976
 
4977
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4978
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4979
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4980
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4981
    the name of the view.
4982
 
4983
  * GenerateFiles directive
4984
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4985
 
4986
  * MOS Toolset
4987
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4988
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4989
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4990
 
4991
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4992
 
4993
 
4994

4995
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4996
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4997
Major changes:
4998
 
4999
Minor changes:
5000
  * JATS environment
5001
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5002
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5003
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5004
 
5005
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5006
 
5007
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5008
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5009
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5010
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5011
    to be packaged.
5012
 
5013
  * Generated makefiles
5014
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5015
 
5016
  * Generating MOS THX files
5017
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5018
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5019
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5020
 
5021
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5022
 
5023
  * JATS release
5024
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5025
 
5026
  * JATS extract
5027
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5028
 
5029
  * JATS Toolset
5030
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5031
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5032
 
5033

5035
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5036
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5037
Major changes:
5038
 
5039
Minor changes:
5040
  * jats label
5041
    Added a -vob=name option
5042
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5043
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5044
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5045
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5046
 
5047
    Added a -user=name option
5048
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5049
    label to the named user.
5050
 
5051
  * jats release
5052
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5053
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5054
 
5055
  * JATS build.pl
5056
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5057
    ie:
5058
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5059

5062
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5064
Major changes:
5065
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5066
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5067
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5068
    the makefile internals. ie:
5069
        --Var(BuildName)
5070
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5071
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5072
 
5073
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5074
 
5075
  * GenerateFiles
5076
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5077
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5078
 
5079
  * BuildPlatforms
5080
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5081
 
5082
Minor changes:
5083
  * GCC Toolset
5084
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5085
 
5086
Internal changes:
5087
  * GenerateFiles
5088
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5089
 
5090
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5091
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5092
 
5093
 
5094
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5095
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5096
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5097
Major changes:
5098
  * Caching JATS
5099
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5100
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5101
 
5102
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5103
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5104
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5105
 
5106
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5107
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5108
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5109
 
5110
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5111
 
5112
Minor changes:
5113
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5114
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5115
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5116
 
5117
  * jats build
5118
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5119
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5120
    processed by the build.
5121
 
5122
  * jats build
5123
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5124
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5125
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5126
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5127
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5128
 
5129
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5130
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5131
    Path is not specified.
5132
 
5133
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5134
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5135
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5136
        --Dir=$Pinc
5137
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5138
 
5139
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5140
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5141
    Windows platform.
5142
 
5143
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5144
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5145
            by 'purecov.
5146
 
5147
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5148
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5149
 
5150
        - OPTIONS=purify
5151
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5152
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5153
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5154

5158
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5159
Major changes:
5160
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5161
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5162
    Example:
5163
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5164
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5165
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5166
 
5167
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5168
    been determined.
5169
 
5170
Minor changes:
5171
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5172
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5173
    located at build-time.
5174
 
5175
  * Unix based systems
5176
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5177
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5178
 
5179
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5180
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5181
    driver being built.
5182

5195
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5196
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5197
 
5198
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5199
    dependancy information within a package.
5200
 
5201
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5202
    messages.

5211
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5212
 
5213
    GenerateFiles.
5214
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5215
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5216
                      be run on every invocation.
5217
 
5218
 
5219
Minor changes:

5221
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
5222
 
5223
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
5224
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5225
  There are two mechanism:
5226
 
5227
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5228
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5229
 
5230
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5231
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5232
 
5233
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5234
  default.
5235
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5236
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
5237

5241
Major changes:
5242
  * SunWorks Toolset
5243
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5244
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5245
    It is based on machine type.
5246
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5247
 
5248
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5249
 
5250
Minor changes:
5251

5262
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
5263
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
5264
    Removed the use of `uname`.
5265
 
5266

    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
5274
    field separator.
5275
 
5276
  * JATS eprog command

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5278
 
5279
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5280
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5281
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5282
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5283
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5284
 
5285
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5286
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5287
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232

        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5289
 
5290
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5291
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

Minor changes:
5306
  * JATS wrapper script
5307
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5308
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5309
    to setup links to system programs.

        debug_debuginfo
5350
 
5351
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5352
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5353
    Theses are:
5354
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5355
        SOLARIS_AMD
5356
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5357
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5358
 
5359
Minor changes:

5377
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5378
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5379
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5380
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5381

5383
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
5384
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5385
Major changes:
5386
 
5387
Minor changes:
5388
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5389
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5390
    library without creating the body of the library:
5391
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5392
 
5393
 
5394
  * MOS toolsets
5395
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5396
    library without creating the body of the library:
5397
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5398
 
5399
  * JATS BIN directories
5400
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5401
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5402
    using autoconf.
5403
 
5404
  * Generate directive
5405
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5406
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5407
 
5408
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5409

5412
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5413
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5414
Major changes:
5415
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5416
    Initial release.
5417
 
5418
Minor changes:
5419
 
5420
 
5421
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5422
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5423
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5424
Major changes:
5425
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5426
    Initial release.
5427
 
5428
  * Packaging directives
5429
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5430
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5431
 
5432
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5433
        SOLARIS
5434
        WIN32
5435
 
5436
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5437
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5438
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5439
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5440
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5441
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5442
 
5443
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5444
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5445
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5446
 
5447
 
5448
Minor changes:
5449
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5450
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5451
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5452
 
5453
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5454
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5455
    location
5456
 
5457
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5458
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5459
 
5460
  * Utility genrc
5461
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5462
 
5463
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5464
    Added option: -new
5465
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5466
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5467
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5468
 
5469
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5470
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5471
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5472
 
5473
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5474
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5475
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5476
 
5477
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5478
   features - in a uniform manner.
5479
 
5480
 
5481
Internal Changes:
5482
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5483
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5484
 
5485
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5486
        1) Platform information available at build time
5487
        2) Dynamic platform names
5488
 
5489
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5490
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5491
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5492
 
5493
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5494
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5495
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5496
 
5497
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5498
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5499
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5500
    needed.
5501
 
5502
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5503
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5504
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5505
    files from all of these.
5506

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

Minor changes:
5795
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5796
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5797
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5798
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5799
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5800
 
5801
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5802
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5803
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5804
 
5805
Internal changes:
5806
  * JATS toolsets
5807
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5808
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5809
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5810
 
5811
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5812
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5813

Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5816
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5817
Major changes:
5818
  * Jats command: etool
5819
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5820
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5821
 
5822
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5823
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5824
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5825
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5826
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5827
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5828

5833
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5834
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5835
Major changes:
5836
  * JATS environment variables
5837
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5838
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5839
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5840
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5841
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5842
 
5843
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5844
              Remote repository
5845
 
5846
    Added GBE_DPLY
5847
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5848
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5849
 
5850
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5851
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5852
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5853
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5854
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5855
 
5856
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5857
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5858
 
5859
 
5860
Minor changes:
5861
  * JATS utility: build
5862
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5863
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5864
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5865
 
5866
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5867
    Ensure label is not locked
5868
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5869
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5870
 
5871
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5872
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5873
    to a specific type of build.
5874
 
5875
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5876
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5877
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5878
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5879
 
5880
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5881
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5882
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5883
 
5884
  * JATS utility: release
5885
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5886
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5887
 
5888
  * JATS utility: label
5889
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5890
    when it is being created.
5891
 
5892
Internal Changes
5893
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5894
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5895
 
5896
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5897
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5898
 
5899
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5900
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5901
    different results.
5902
 
5903
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5904
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5905
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5906
 
5907
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5908
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5909
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5910
Major changes:
5911
 
5912
  * MCR toolset
5913
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5914
 
5915
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5916
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5918
Major changes:
5919
  * WIN32 utilities
5920
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5921
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5922
 
5923
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5924
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5925
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5926
 
5927
Minor changes:
5928
  * BuildVersion
5929
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5930
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5931
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5932
 
5933
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5934
 
5935
  * Unix Builds
5936
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5937
    library or a shared library.
5938
 
5939
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5940
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5941
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5942
    start with 'lib'.
5943
 
5944
  * BuildPkgArchive
5945
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5946
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5947
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5948
 
5949
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5950
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5951
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5952
Major changes:
5953
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5954
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5955
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5956
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5957
    being manually maintained.
5958
 
5959
 
5960
Minor changes:
5961
  * MakeAnt directive
5962
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5963
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5964
    supports ANT builds.
5965
 
5966
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5967
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5968
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5969
 
5970
  * Label utility
5971
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5972
    files to be labeled.
5973
 
5974
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5975
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5976
    on Solaris.
5977
 
5978
  * Generated makefiles
5979
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5980
    nothing.
5981
 
5982
  * MOS Toolset
5983
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5984
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5985
    modules.
5986
 
5987
  * Utility: gen_cots
5988
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5989
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5990
 
5991
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5992
 
5993
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5994
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5995
 
5996
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5997
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5998
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5999
Major changes:
6000
  None
6001
 
6002
Minor changes:
6003
  * DEVI addressed
6004
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6005
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6006
 
6007
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6008
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6009
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6010
 
6011
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6012
 
6013
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6014
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6015
 
6016
  * RunTest directive
6017
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6018
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6019
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6020
 
6021
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6022
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6023
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6024
    packaged under JATS
6025
 
6026
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6027
          supported within JATS.
6028
 
6029
  * Jats utility wrapper
6030
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6031
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6032
 
6033
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6034
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6035
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6036
 
6037
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6038
    Eg: jats ant
6039
 
6040
  * Jats utility wrapper
6041
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6042
 
5710 dpurdie 6043
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6044
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6045
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6046
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6047
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6048
 
5710 dpurdie 6049
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6050
    expect a build.pl file.
6051
 
6052
  * Jats utility wrapper
6053
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6054
 
6055
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6056
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6057
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6058
 
6059
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6060
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6061
 
6062
  * Build files
6063
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6064
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6065
 
6066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6067
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6069
Major changes:
6070
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6071
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6072
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6073
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6074
 
6075
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6076
 
6077
Minor changes:
6078
  * None
6079
 
6080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6081
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6083
Major changes:
6084
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6085
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6086
    ie:
6087
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6088
 
6089
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6090
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6091
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6092
    environments are compatible.
6093
 
6094
 
6095
Minor changes:
6096
  * BuildName option
6097
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6098
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6099
 
6100
  * jats.bat
6101
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6102
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6103
 
6104
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6105
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6106
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6107
Major changes:
6108
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6109
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6110
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6111
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6112
 
6113
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6114
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6115
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6116
 
6117
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6118
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6119
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6120
 
6121
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6122
    transferred.
6123
 
6124
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6125
    See notes below.
6126
 
6127
  * WIN32 toolset
6128
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6129
    correctly.
6130
 
6131
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6132
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6133
 
6134
  * BuildVersion
6135
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6136
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6137
    other langauges as needed.
6138
 
6139
 
6140
Minor changes:
6141
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6142
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6143
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6144
    version strings.
6145
 
6146
  * GenerateFiles directive
6147
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6148
    package or an imported package.
6149
 
6150
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6151
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6152
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6153
 
6154
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6155
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6156
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6157
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6158
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6159
 
6160
Internal Changes
6161
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6162
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6163
    of utilities.
6164
 
6165
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6166
    functions.
6167
 
6168
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6169
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6170
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6171
Major changes:
6172
  * Generated makefiles
6173
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6174
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6175
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6176
 
6177
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6178
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6179
    incorrectly processing:
6180
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6181
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6182
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6183
    confused.
6184
 
6185
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6186
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6187
    The construct
6188
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6189
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6190
    then it works.
6191
 
6192
  * MakeAnt directive
6193
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6194
 
6195
    This option has the following effects
6196
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6197
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6198
 
6199
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6200
           early - in the generated files phase.
6201
 
6202
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6203
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6204
 
6205
 
6206
Minor changes:
6207
  * JATS post-installation script
6208
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6209
 
6210
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6211
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6212
    windows.
6213
 
6214
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6215
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6216
 
6217
  * Jats wrapper script
6218
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6219
        1) Contain spaces
6220
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6221
 
6222
  * Toolset
6223
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6224
 
6225
  * JAVA toolset
6226
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6227
    directive:
6228
 
6229
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6230
 
6231
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6232
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6233
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6234
 
6235
  * GCC Toolset
6236
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6237
 
6238
  * Makefile generation
6239
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6240
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6241
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6242
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6243
    package could not be used.
6244
 
6245
  * Unit Tests
6246
    The following environment variables are set:
6247
 
6248
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6249
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6250
 
6251
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6252
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6253
 
6254
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6255
 
6256
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6257
 
6258
 
6259
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6260
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6262
Major changes:
6263
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6264
 
6265
    Special features of this toolset.
6266
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6267
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6268
       incorporated within the target image.
6269
 
6270
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6271
       --Set=Name=Value
6272
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6273
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6274
 
6275
       --Ref=name
6276
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6277
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6278
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6279
                will be taken from the build version number.
6280
 
6281
Minor changes:
6282
  * MOS Toolset
6283
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6284
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6285
    packaged.
6286
 
6287
  * Src directive
6288
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6289
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6290
    specifier.
6291
 
6292
  * WIN32 runtime support
6293
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6294
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6295
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6296
 
6297
Internal:
6298
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6299
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6300
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6301
 
6302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6303
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6305
Major changes:
6306
    * BuildAlias directive
6307
      Added options.
6308
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6309
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6310
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6311
                          targets.
6312
      Eg:
6313
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6314
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6315
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6316
 
6317
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6318
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6319
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6320
 
6321
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6322
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6323
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6324
 
6325
 
6326
Minor changes:
6327
  * Label utility
6328
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6329
    build.pl file
6330
 
6331
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6332
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6333
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6334
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6335
    --FilterIn option.
6336
 
6337
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6338
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6339
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6340
 
6341
  * Location of descpkg file
6342
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6343
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6344
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6345
 
6346
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6347
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6349
Major changes:
6350
  * RunTest directive
6351
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6352
    Additional options
6353
      --CopyIn=file
6354
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6355
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6356
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6357
        the test area.
6358
 
6359
    Additional operations
6360
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6361
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6362
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6363
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6364
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6365
    Allows flags:
6366
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6367
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6368
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6369
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6370
 
6371
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6372
    existence is tested.
6373
 
6374
  * Packaging Directives
6375
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6376
    such as LMOS.
6377
 
6378
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6379
 
6380
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6381
 
6382
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6383
 
6384
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6385
 
6386
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6387
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6388
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6389
 
6390
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6391
 
6392
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6393
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6394
 
6395
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6396
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6397
 
6398
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6399
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6400
 
6401
Minor changes:
6402
  * Script directive
6403
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6404
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6405
 
6406
  * JATS environment
6407
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6408
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6409
    the JATS wrapper script.
6410
 
6411
  * Label utility
6412
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6413
    There are three modes of operation:
6414
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6415
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6416
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6417
 
6418
 
6419
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6420
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6421
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6422
Major changes:
6423
 
6424
Minor changes:
6425
  * label utility
6426
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6427
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6428
 
6429
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6430
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6431
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6432
      --ProgLoader=name
6433
 
6434
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6435
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6436
    Options to do this are:
6437
        --TreeDir=name
6438
        --FilterOut=regexp
6439
        --FilterIn=regexp
6440
        --StripDir
6441
 
6442
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6443
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6444
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6445
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6446
 
6447
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6448
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6449
 
6450
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6451
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6452
 
6453
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6454
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6455
 
6456
 
6457
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6458
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6459
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6460
Major changes:
6461
    * Make commands
6462
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6463
 
6464
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6465
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6466
 
6467
    * Label utility
6468
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6469
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6470
 
6471
Minor changes:
6472
    * Toolsets
6473
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6474
      variables and overrides.
6475
 
6476
      The make_init target is always run.
6477
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6478
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6479
 
6480
    * Deployment
6481
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6482
      with deployment operations.
6483
 
6484
    * Release utility
6485
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6486
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6487
      restricted by options within the build.
6488
 
6489
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6490
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6491
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6492
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6493
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6494
 
6495
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6496
      directives.
6497
 
6498
    * MakeProject directive
6499
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6500
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6501
 
6502
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6503
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6504
      is preserved.
6505
 
6506
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6507
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6508
      statements.
6509
 
6510
    * Mugfile generation
6511
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6512
      be placed in the target package.
6513
 
6514
 
6515
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6516
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6517
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6518
Major changes:
6519
    * BuildVersion directive
6520
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6521
      number as well as a patch number.
6522
 
6523
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6524
      number.
6525
 
6526
Minor changes:
6527
    * AddFlags directives
6528
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6529
      duplicate flags being added.
6530
 
6531
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6532
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6533
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6534
 
6535
    * Mug File Generation
6536
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6537
 
6538
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6539
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6540
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6541
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6542
     directory.
6543
 
6544
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6545
     reproducible.
6546
 
6547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6548
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6549
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6550
Major changes:
6551
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6552
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6553
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6554
      longer a list of directories.
6555
 
6556
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6557
      done within the toolset.
6558
 
6559
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6560
 
6561
    * JATS environment variables
6562
      Redefined variable
6563
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6564
                          Previously was a list that included the
6565
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6566
 
6567
      New variable
6568
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6569
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6570
 
6571
 
6572
Minor changes:
6573
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6574
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6575
      target platforms to be extracted.
6576
 
6577
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6578
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6579
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6580
 
6581
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6582
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6583
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6584
 
6585
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6586
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6587
 
6588
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6589
      Support ANT based XML files
6590
 
6591
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6592
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6593
      structure.
6594
 
6595
    * makefile.pl's
6596
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6597
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6598
 
6599
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6600
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6601
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6602
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6603
 
6604
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6605
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6606
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6607
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6608
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6609
      -- Auto.
6610
 
6611
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6612
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6613
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6614
 
6615
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6616
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6617
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6618
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6619
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6620
 
6621
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6622
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6623
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6624
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6625
      installed on the machine.
6626
 
6627
    * WINCE Targets
6628
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6629
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6630
 
6631

Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6635
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6636
Major changes:
6637
    * WIN32 platforms
6638
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6639
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6640
      and installed packages.
6641
 
6642
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6643
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6644
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6645
 
6646
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6647
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6648
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6649
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6650
      searched when looking for libraries.
6651
 
6652
Minor changes:
6653
    * GenerateFiles directive
6654
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6655
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6656
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6657
                          and drive letter
6658
 
6659
    * Src directive
6660
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6661
      directory of a package.
6662
 
6663
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6664
 
6665
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6666
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6667
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6668
 
6669
    * jats_rewrite utility
6670
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6671
 
6672
 
6673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6674
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6675
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6676
Major changes:
6677
    * SunWorks production builds
6678
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6679
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6680
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6681
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6682
      compiler documentation.
6683
 
6684
    * MOS Toolset
6685
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6686
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6687
 
6688
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6689
 
6690
Minor changes:
6691
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6692
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6693
      This should not affect current users.
6694
 
6695
    * Mugfile generation
6696
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6697
      specified.
6698
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6699

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6702
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6703
Major changes:
6704
    MOS Toolset
6705
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6706
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6707
 
6708
Minor changes:
6709
    * Jats wrapper script
6710
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6711
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6712
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6713
 
6714
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6715
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6716
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6717
      may be suspect.
6718
 
6719
    * GenerateFiles directive
6720
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6721
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6722
 
6723
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6724
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6725
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6726
Major changes:
6727
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6728
      build.xml files.
6729
 
6730
Minor changes:
6731
    * WIN32 toolset.
6732
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6733
 
6734
    * MakeAnt
6735
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6736
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6737
 
6738
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6739
 
6740
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6741
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6742
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6743
 
6744
    * MakeAnt directive
6745
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6746
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6747
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6748
 
6749
      Recommended usage:
6750
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6751
 
6752
Internal Changes
6753
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6754

6757
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6758
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6759
Major changes:
6760
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6761
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6762
      files packaged into the release.
6763
 
6764
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6765

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6768
 
6769
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6770
      The recommended platform is:
6771
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6772
 
6773
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6774
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6775
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6776
      components.
6777
 
6778
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
6779

6782
 
6783
Minor changes:
6784
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6785
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6786
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6787
      by the package to be accessed.
6788
 
6789
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6790
      application or visual studio.
6791
 
6792
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6793
      and the JATS Core path.
6794
 
6795
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6796
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6797
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6798
 
6799
    * MOS Toolset
6800
      Add support for the TPT device
6801
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6802
 
6803
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6804
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6805
 
6806
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6807
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6808
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6809
 
6810
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6811
 
6812
Internal Changes
6813
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6814
      in jats.pl
6815
 
6816
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6817
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6819
Major changes:
6820
    * JATS wrapper script
6821
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6822
 
6823
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6824
 
6825
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6826
 
6827
Minor changes:
6828
    * Deployment support
6829
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6830
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6831
 
6832
    * 'build'
6833
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6834
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6835
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6836
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6837
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6838
 
6839
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6840
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6841
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6842
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6843
                                      the link phase.
6844
 
6845
    * BuildPkgArchive
6846
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6847
      Previously these were ignored.
6848
      Minor code cleanup
6849
 
6850
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6851
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6852
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6853
 
6854
    * SOLARIS targets
6855
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6856
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6857
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6858
 
6859
    * MugFile generation
6860
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6861
      included in the final package.
6862
 
6863
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6864
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6865
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6866
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6867
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6868
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6869
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6870
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6871
 
6872
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6873
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6874
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6875
            --Option=(some_text)
6876
            --Option=[some_text]
6877
            --Option={some_text}
6878
 
6879
Internal Changes
6880
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6881
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6882
      code.
6883
 
6884
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6885
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6886
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6887
Major changes:
6888
    * JATS wrapper script
6889
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6890
 
6891
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6892
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6893
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6894
      other components.
6895
 
6896
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6897
 
6898
    * JATS
6899
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6900
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6901
 
6902
    * Build operations
6903
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6904
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6905
      packages.
6906
 
6907
    * Make operations
6908
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6909
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6910
 
6911
Minor changes:
6912
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6913
      deployment builds.
6914
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6915
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6916
 
6917
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6918
 
6919
    * build.pl
6920
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6921
        processed. Allows
6922
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6923
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6924
        production.
6925
 
6926
    * MOS toolset
6927
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6928
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6929
 
6930
    * create_dpkg utility
6931
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6932
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6933
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6934
      progress of the build.
6935
 
6936
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6937
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6938
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6939
      system.
6940

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6944
Major changes:
6945
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6946
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6947
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6948
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6949
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6950
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6951
 
6952
    * WCEX86A500 target
6953
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6954
 
6955
    * MOS Toolsets
6956
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6957
      the compiler.
6958
 
6959
    * RunTest directive
6960
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6961
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6962
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6963
 
6964
Minor changes:
6965
    * JATS BUILD
6966
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6967
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6968
      highlight bad settings.
6969
 
6970
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6971
      access to extensions.
6972

6979
 
6980
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6981
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6982
      under unix.
6983
 
6984
Minor changes:
6985
    * label utility
6986
      Added options to:
6987
        o Delete a label
6988
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6989
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6990
 
6991
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6992
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6993
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6994
      Package directives.
6995
 
6996
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6997
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6998
      system.
6999

      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7006
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7007
 
7008
    * WIN32 Toolset
7009
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7010
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7011
      list.
7012
 
7013
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7014
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7015
 
7016
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7017
 
7018
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7019
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7020
 
7021
 
7022
Minor changes:
7023
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7024
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7025
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7026
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7027
      corrected.
7028
 
7029
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7030
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7031
 
7032
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7033
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7034
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7035

7037
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7038
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7039
Major changes:
7040
    * WIN32 Toolset
7041
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7042
      use with multithreaded modes.
7043
 
7044
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7045
      --OnlyProd.
7046
 
7047
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7048
      within the makefile.pl.
7049
 
7050
Minor changes:
7051
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7052
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7053
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7054
      platforms.
7055
 
7056
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7057
 
7058
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7059
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7060
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7061
Major changes:
7062
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7063
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7064
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7065
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7066
 
7067
    * Preliminary Support
7068
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7069
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7070
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7071
 
7072
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7073
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7074
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7075
 
7076
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7077
      building. The default build will build both.
7078
 
7079
Minor changes:
7080
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7081
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7082
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7083
 
7084
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7085
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7086
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7087
 
7088
 
7089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7090
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7092
Major changes:
7093
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7094
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7095
      or all.
7096
 
7097
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7098
      the library or program.
7099
 
7100
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7101
 
7102
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7103
      library or any debug files.
7104
 
7105
    * GenerateFiles
7106
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7107
 
7108
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7109
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7110
 
7111
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7112
              The filename of the prereq file
7113
 
7114
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7115
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7116
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7117
 
7118
 
7119
Minor changes:
7120
    * create_dpkg utility
7121
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7122
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7123
      the package has been altered.
7124
 
7125

7126
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

7128
Major changes:
7129
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7130
      This is a WINCE target
7131
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7132
 
7133
    * New toolset
7134
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7135
 
7136
    * Modified toolset
7137
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7138
 
7139
    * Modified toolset
7140
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7141
 
7142
Minor changes:
7143
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7144
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7145
 
7146
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7147
 
7148
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7149
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7150
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7151
 
7152
      The change allows the construct
7153
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7154
      to be replaced by the simpler
7155
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7156
 
7157
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7158
      specified name.    
7159

7164
Major changes:
7165
    * Dependancy generator
7166
      Extend the number of header files that can be included
7167
      to allow for 4096 included files.

7178
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7179
Major changes:
7180
    * The "package.pl" file.
7181
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7182
      package name being taken from the build name
7183
 
7184
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7185
      package Build Name.
7186
 
7187
Minor changes:
7188
    * create_dpkg utility
7189
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7190
 
7191

7194
Major changes:
7195
 
7196
Minor changes:
7197
    * Dependancy generator
7198
      Correct two common situations
7199
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7200
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7201
           ansi, but is often done.
7202
 
7203
    * GCC toolset
7204
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7205
      being created in the correct place.
7206
 
7207
    * jats "label"
7208
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7209
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7210
 
7211
 
7212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7213
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7214
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7215
Major changes:
7216
 
7217
Minor changes:
7218
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7219
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7220
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7221
 
7222
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7223
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7224
 
7225
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7226
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7227
      package was not being transferred.
7228
 
7229
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7230
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7231
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7232
Major changes:
7233
    * Support for solaris_i386
7234
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7235
      binaries for this target.
7236
 
7237
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7238
      with the GCC compiler.
7239
 
7240
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7241
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7242
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7243
 
7244
Minor changes:
7245
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7246
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7247
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7248
 
7249
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7250
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7251
 
7252
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7253
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7254
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7255
Major changes:
7256
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7257
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7258
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7259
 
7260
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7261
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7262
 
7263
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7264
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7265
      with either " or ' characters.
7266
 
7267
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7268
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7269
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7270
 
7271
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7272
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7273
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7274
 
7275
    * Jats wrapper
7276
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7277
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7278
      further commands.
7279
 
7280
Minor changes:
7281
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7282
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7283
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7284
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7285
 
7286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7287
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7288
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7289
Major changes:
7290
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7291
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7292
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7293
 
7294
      These options operation affect all components within the
7295
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7296
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7297
 
7298
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7299
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7304
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7305
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7306
Major changes:
7307
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7308
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7309
 
7310
Minor changes:
7311
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7312
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7313
 
7314
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7315
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7316
 
7317
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7318
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7319
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7320
Major changes:
7321
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7322
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7323
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7324
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7325
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7326
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7327
      installed.
7328
 
7329
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7330
      libraries that depend on each other.
7331
 
7332
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7333
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7334
 
7335
Minor changes:
7336
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7337
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7338
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7339
 
7340
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7341
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7342
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7343
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7344
 
7345
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7346
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7347
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7348
Major changes:
7349
 
7350
Minor changes:
7351
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7352
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7353
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7354
      file.
7355
 
7356
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7357
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7358
 
7359
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7360
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7361
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7362
 
7363
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7364
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7365
 
7366
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7367
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7368
 
7369
    * WinCE toolsets
7370
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7371
      compiler specific libraries.
7372
 
7373
    * SOLARIS toolset
7374
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7375
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7376
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7377
 
7378
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7379
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7380
      cleaned up.
7381
 
7382
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7383
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7384
 
7385
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7386
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7387
      with either " or ' characters.
7388

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7393
Major changes:
7394
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7395
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7396
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7397
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7398
 
7399
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7400
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7401
 
7402
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7403
      user.
7404
 
7405
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7406
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7407
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7408
 
7409
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7410
      for the   -Gf option.
7411
 
7412
Minor changes:
7413
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7414
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7415
 
7416
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7417
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7418
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7419
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7420

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7422
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7423
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7424
Major changes:
7425
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7426
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7427
 
7428
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7429
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7430
      data addresses for the board.
7431
 
7432
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7433
 
7434
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7435
 
7436
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7437
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7438
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7439
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7440
         PackageFile
7441
 
7442
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7443
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7444
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7445
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7446
 
7447
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7448
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7449
      to be installed and packaged.
7450
 
7451
Minor changes:
7452
 
7453
    * cache_dpkg utility
7454
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7455
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7456
 
7457
    * label utility
7458
      New option -auto to create and label
7459
 
7460
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7461
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7462
 
7463
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7464
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7465
      directory. ie:
7466
 
7467
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7468
 
7469
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7470
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7471
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7472
 
7473
 
7474
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7475
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7476
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7477
Major changes:
7478
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7479
 
7480
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7481
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7482
 
7483
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7484
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7485
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7486
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7487
 
7488
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7489
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7490
      compilation.
7491
 
7492
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7493
 
7494
Minor changes:
7495
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7496
      one is being produced.
7497
 
7498
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7499
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7500
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7501
 
7502
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7503
 
7504
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7505
 
7506
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7507
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7508
 
7509
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7510
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7512
Major changes:
7513
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7514
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7515
 
7516
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7517
 
7518
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7519
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7520
      same directory
7521
 
7522
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7523
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7524
      documenattion.
7525
 
7526
Minor changes:
7527
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7528
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7529
 
7530
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7531
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7532
 
7533
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7534
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7535
 
7536
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7537
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7538
 
7539
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7540
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7541
      be exempt from this test.
7542
 
7543
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7544
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7545
 
7546
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7547
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7548
 
7549
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7550
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7551
      does.
7552
 
7553
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7554
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7555
 
7556
 
7557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7558
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7559
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7560
Major changes:
7561
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7562
 
7563
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7564
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7565
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7566
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7567
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7568
 
7569
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7570
      operations.
7571
 
7572
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7573
 
7574
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7575
 
7576
Minor changes
7577
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7578
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7579
 
7580
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7581
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7582
      directory is not added to the library path.
7583
 
7584
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7585
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7586
 
7587
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7588
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7589
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7590
 
7591
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7592
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7593
      specific flags.
7594
 
7595
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7596
 
7597
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7598
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7599
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7600
 
7601
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7602
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7603
      JATS.
7604
 
7605
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7606
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7607
 
7608
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7609
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7610
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7611
 
7612
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7613
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7614
 
7615
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7616
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7617
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7618
 
7619
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7620
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7621
 
7622
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7623
 
7624
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7625
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7626
 
7627
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7628
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7629
      objects.
7630
 
7631
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7632
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7633
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7634
      build defendants.
