5885 dpurdie 24
      Shared libraries, under Unix, are created with one or two symlinks to 
5882 dpurdie 25
      the library: link and soname.
26
      When the shared library is Installed or Packaged the symlink was not 
27
      preserved resulting in a much larger package that really required.
28

721
Minor changes:
722
    * New build Alias - NATIVE
723
      NATIVE is a set of platforms, in the current build, which build 
724
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
725
 
726
      The NATIVE alias has been created to simplify the support
727
      for automated unit tests.
728
 
4761 dpurdie 729
    * New build platform - UBUNTU12_INSTRUMENT
4728 dpurdie 730
      This build target is similar to UBUNTU12, except that it 
731
      generates instrumented code with gcov. The platform's unit tests 
732
      will create and maintain a set of lcov files.
733

749
 
4688 dpurdie 750
    * EnvVars
751
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
752
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
753
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
754
 
755
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
756
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
757
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
758
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
759
 
760
    * Jats caching
761
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
762
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed
763
      up jats startup.

786
Minor changes:
787
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
788
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
789
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
790
 
791
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
792
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
793
 
794
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
795
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
797
 
798
    * Jats Internal: Database access

4036 dpurdie 1063
      Improved the process that creates symbolic links between a Shared
4034 dpurdie 1064
      Libraries 'RealName' and its 'soname' and 'link name'
1065
 
1066
      Added support for a compiler to be provided through a package.
1067
      Specifically implemented to allow Android
1068
 
1069
Minor changes:
1070
    * BuildName directive
1071
      Force '--RelaxedVersion' on COTS packages that have exactly 3 arguments.
1072
 
1073
    * Sandbox utility
4036 dpurdie 1074

1085
Minor changes:
1086
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1087
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1088
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1089
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1090
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1091
 
1092
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1093
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

1100
Minor changes:
1101
    * Utility: update_release
1102
      Added options:
1103
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1104
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1105
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1106
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1107
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1108
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1109
 
1110
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1111
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
1112
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
1113
 
1114
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
1115
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

1119
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1120
Major changes:
1121
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1122
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1123
      intended to build deployed software.
1124
 
1125
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1126
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1127
 
1128
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1129
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1130
 
1131
Minor changes:
1132
    * Jats wrapper script
1133
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1134
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1135
      Subversion instance of the command.
1136
 
1137
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1138
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1139
 
1140
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1141
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1142
 
1143
    * Utility: jats upddep
1144
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1145
      file under windows.
1146
 
1147
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1148
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1149
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1150
 
1151
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1152
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1153
 
1154
    * GCC Toolchain
1155
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1171
Major changes:
1172
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1173
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1174
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1175
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1176
 
1177
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1178
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1188
Minor changes:
1189
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1190
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1191
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1192
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1193
      line.
1194
 
1195
    * Jats Configuration
1196
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1197
 
1198
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1199
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1200
      and Linux.
1201
 
1202
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1203
      correctly rippled.

1210
Minor changes:
1211
    * Jats Core
1212
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1213
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1214
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1215
 
1216
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1217
      Used only by the build daemons.
1218
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1219
 
1220
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1221
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1222
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

1227
Major changes:
1228
 
1229
Minor changes:
1230
    * svnrelease utility
1231
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1232
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1233
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1234
 
1235
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1236
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1237
      the named tag.
1238
 
1239
    * svnrelease utility
1240
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1241
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
1252
        covered by the makefile.
1253
 
1254
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1255
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1256
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1257
 
1258
    * ALL Toolsets
1259
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1260
 
1261
    * Utility vcsdiff
1262
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1263
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1264
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

    * Subversion Extraction
1273
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1274
      directory of the tag.
1275
 
1276
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1277
      repository.
1278
 
1279
    * Subversion Support
1280
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1281
      showing the user what to do.
1282
 
1283
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1284
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1285
      we have build support for this target.
1286
 
1287
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1288
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1289
 
1290
Internal:
1291
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1292
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1293
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1294
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Minor changes:
1311
    * Makefile generation
1312
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1313
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1314
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1315
      of warnings.
1316
 
1317
    * Makefile Generation
1318
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1327
Major changes:
1328
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1329
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1330
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1331
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1332
 
1333
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1334
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1335
      windows path scheme.
1336
 
1337
Minor changes:
1338
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1339
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1340
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1341
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1342
 
1343
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1344
        jats make clobber
1345
      This operates as before.
1346
 
1347
    * Utility: escrow
1348
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1349
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1350
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1351
 
1352
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1353
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1354
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1355
 
1356
    * Utility: svn : url
1357
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1358
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1359
 
1360
    * Utility: svn : import
1361
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1362
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1363
 
1364
    * Subversion Support
1365
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1366
      showing the user what to do.
1367
 
1368
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1369
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1370
      repositories.

1375
 
1376
Minor changes:
1377
    * Jats build
1378
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1379
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1380
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1381
 
1382
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1383
      command, with a sandbox.

      Added two subcommands
1394
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1395
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1396
                 Can also display available branches.
1397
 
2054 dpurdie 1398
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

1404
 
1405
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1406
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1407
      Modified two options:
1408
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1409
                        The named branch must not exist
1410
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1411
                        The named branch must exist
1412
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
1421
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
1422
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
1423

1447
Major changes:
1448
    * Jats Version Number
1449
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

Major changes:
1464
    * Subversion support
1465
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
1466
      SubVersion. Changes include:
1467
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
1468
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1469
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1470
 
1471
Minor changes:
1472
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1473
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1474
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1475
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1476
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1477
 
1478
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1479
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1480
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1481
 
1482
    * Linux support utilities
1483
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format

1489
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1490
Major changes:
1491
    * Subversion Repository location
1492
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1493
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1494
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1495
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

1497
 
1498
Minor changes:
1499
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1500
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1501
 
1502
    * Utility: svnrelease
1503
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1504
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1505
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1506
 
1507
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1508
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1509
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1510
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1511
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1512
 
1513
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1514
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1515
 
1516
    * Utility: sandbox
1517
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
1518
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1519
 
1520
      Subcommand: populate
1521
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1522
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1523
      sandbox.
1524
 
1525
    * Subversion Support
1526
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1527
      repository is not supported.
1528
 
1529
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1530
      a progress indication.
1531
 
1532
    * Jats Online Documentation
1533
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1534
      online documentation.
1535
 
1536
    * Generated makefiles
1537
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1587

1588
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
1589
 
1590

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1614
Major changes:
1615
 
1616
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1617
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1618
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1619
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1620
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1621
 
1622
    * C# Toolchain
1623

1633
 
1634
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
1635
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
1636
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1637
 
1638
    * Utility ccrelease
1639
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1640
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1641
 
1642
    * Utility: svn
1643
      Improved package import processing.
1644
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1672
Major changes:
1673
 
1674
Minor changes:
1675
    * Command: jats clobber
1676
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1677
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1678
 
1679
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1680
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1681
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1682
 
1683
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1684
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1685
 
377 dpurdie 1686
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1687
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1688
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1689
 
1690
    * jats svnlabel
1691
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1692
 
1693
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1694
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1695
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1696
 
1697
    * Built Daemon support
1698
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1699
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches

1703
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1704
Major changes:
1705
    * GCC Toolset
1706
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1707
      New methodology is:
1708
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1709
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1710
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1711
        as the main binary.
1712
 
1713
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1714
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1715
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1716
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1717
      both worlds.
1718
 
1719
Minor changes:
1720
    * HTML Documentation
1721
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1722

Internal changes:
1724
    * Generated makefiles

1726
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1731
Major changes:
1732
    * Jats Sandbox
1733
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1734
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1735
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1736
 
1737
    * RIORDS Platform
1738
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

1761
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1762
 
1763
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1764
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1765
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1766
      a vob.
1767

Version:  2.98.0000.cr                               Released: 09-Aug-11
1842
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1843
Major changes:
1844
    * New toolset: ARM251
1845
 
1846
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
1847
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
1848
 
1849
Minor changes:
1850
    * HTML Help
1851
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1852
 
1853
    * jats build -noforce
1854
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1855
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1856
      be forced.
1857
 
1858
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1859
 
1860
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1861
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1862
 
1863
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1864
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1865
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1866
 
1867
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1868
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1869
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1870
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1871
 
1872
    * Utility: svnrelease
1873
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1874
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1875
 
1876
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1877
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1878
 
1879
    * Utility: svn
1880
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1881
      installed and can be used.
1882
 
1883
    * Toolset: CSharp
1884
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1885
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1886
      character.
1887
 
1888
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1889
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1890
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1891
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1892
      masking an error.
1893
 
1894
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1895
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1896
      enhancement.
1897
 
1898
    * Toolset: dafbr
1899
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
1900
 
1901
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
1902
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1903
        - Return correct path to package
1904
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1905
 
1906
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1907
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1908
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1909
 
1910
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1911
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1912
      packages.
1913
 
1914
    * make command: show
1915
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1916
      'jats make show' command.
1917
 
1918
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1919
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1920
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1921
 
1922
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1923
      executed on Unix machines.

      Many (11) toolsets - all that generate linker dependency
2230
      files for creating shared libraries or programs.
2231
        Solaris, Gcc, WIN32, Wince, MOS, Verix, Keil, AVR_IAR,
2232
        CSHARP, MCR, Pharlap.
2233
 
2234
      Better, simpler, and in some cases correct, generation
2235
      of dependency files used in linking. Also generate separate
2236
      files for Production and Debug builds.
2237
 
2238
Minor changes:
2239
    * Jats sandbox command
2240
      The 'info' subcommand will highlight external packages that cannot be
2241
      found in any of the the package archives.
2242
 
2243
    * Jats release -extract
2244
      The ClearCase view that is created will have a comment tag added that
2245
      describes:
2246
        - the directory in which the user created the view
2247
        - the date of creation
2248
 
2249
    * PackageFile directive
2250
      Now supports --NoRecurse and --Recurse in conjunction with --DirTree
2251
 
2252
Internal:
2253
    * PackageFile, PackageHdr and InstallHdr directives
2254
      Removed --Abs option - its not supported
2255
      Fixed --Full option.

2260
Major changes:
2261
 
2262
Minor changes:
2263
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
2264
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
2265
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
2266
      resulting in multiple builds.
2267
 
2268
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
2269
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
2270
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
2271
 
2272
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
2273
 
2274
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2275
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
2276
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
2280
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2281
Major changes:
2282
 
2283
Minor changes:
2284
    * Jats label command
2285
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2286
      Not recommended for general use.
2287
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2288
      directories within the current view.
2289
 
2290
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2291
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2292
      elsewhere.
2293
 
2294
    * Jats save_build
2295
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2296
      the determination of a branch.
2297
 
2298
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2299
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2300
 
2301
    * Jats build
2302
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2303
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2304
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2305
 
2306
    * Borland6 toolset
2307
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2308
      to match the documented install location of:
2309
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2310
 
2311
    * Jats build
2312
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2313
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2314
      This is a very quick operation.
2315
 
2316
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2317
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2318
 
2319
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2320
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2321
      files are only recreated if need be.
2322
 
2323
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2324
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2325
      make the package.
2326
 
2327
    * Jats sandbox
2328
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2329
 
2330
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2331
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2332
 
2333
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2334
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2335
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2336
      is performed.
2337
 
2338
Internal:
2339
    * build.pl
2340
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

2373
 
2374
Minor changes:
2375
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2376
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2377
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2378
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2379
 
2380
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2381
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2382
 
2383
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2384
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2385
      platform builds.
2386
 
2387
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2388
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2389
      directory tree.
2390
 
2391
    * New command: jats man
2392
      Produces full help on a specified item.
2393
 
2394
Internal changes:
2395
    * jats upddep
2396
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
2397
 
2398
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
2399
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined

2404
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2405
Major changes:
2406
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2407
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2408
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2409
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2410
 
2411
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2412
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2413
 
2414
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2415
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2416
 
2417
      Examples:
2418
            jats upddep -show
2419
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2420
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2421
 
2422
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2423
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2424
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2425
 
2426
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2427
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2428
 
2429
Minor changes:
2430
 
2431
Internal changes:
2432
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
2433

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
2437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2438
Major changes:
2439
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2440
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2441
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2442
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2443
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2444
      stream.
2445
 
2446
      Example:
2447
 
2448
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2449
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2450
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2451
                     );
2452
Minor changes:
2453
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2454
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2455
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2456
      directive.
2457
 
2458
    * GCC Toolkit
2459
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2460
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2461
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2462
      the point of termination.
2463
 
2464
    * Jats save_build utility
2465
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2466
      under windows.
2467
 
2468
    * Jats sandbox
2469
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2470
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2471
      in different sandboxes.
2472
 
2473
    * Jats release
2474
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2475

    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2483
      Added -locatedir=name
2484
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2485
      directory.
2486
 
2487
    * jats label utility
2488
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2489
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2490
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2491
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2492
 
2493
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2494

Minor changes:
2501
    * WinCe Toolsets
2502
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2503
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2504
        noExceptions            - Disable
2505
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2506
      Example:
2507
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2508
 
2509
    * Solaris targets
2510
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2511
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2512
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2513
      machine type.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2518
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2519
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2520
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2521
      project files.
2522
 
2523
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2524
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2525
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2526
 
2527
Minor changes:
2528
    * Added more internal documentation
2529
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2530
 
2531
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2532
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2533
 
2534
    * Jats save_build utility
2535
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2536
      under windows.
2537
 
2538
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2539
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2540
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2541
      libraries.
2542
 
2543
    * Solaris builds
2544
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2545
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2546
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2547
      of the build failure.
2548
 
2549
 
2550
Internal changes:
2551
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2552
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2553
 
2554
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2555
      PkgArchive topics.

2560
Major changes:
2561
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2562
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2563
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2564
      existing 32-bit builds.
2565
 
2566
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

2571
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2572
 
2573
    * Package searching
2574
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2575
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2576
 
2577
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2578
 
2579
    * jats help
2580
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2581
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2582
 
2583
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2584
      with one of:
2585
        jats -h
2586
        jats help jats
2587
 
2588
Internal:
2589
    * cmdfile utility
2590
      Added macros:
2591
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2592
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2593
 
2594
      Corrected
2595
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)

2612
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2613
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2614
      Useful side effects include:
2615
 
2616
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2617
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.

    * Perl Modules
2627
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2628
      release. This will:
2629
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2630
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2631
          reported by ERG.
2632
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

2636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2637
Major changes:
2638
 
2639
Minor changes:
2640
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2641
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2642
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2643
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2644
 
2645
    * Jats label utility
2646
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2647
 
2648
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2649
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2650
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2651
 
2652
    * Jats core
2653
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2654
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2655
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
2664
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2665
      This is now fixed.
2666
 
309 dpurdie 2667
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2668
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2669
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2670
 
2671
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2672
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
2681
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2682
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2683
      an error.
2684
 
2685
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2686
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2687
 
2688

2695
Major changes:
2696
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2697
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2698
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2699
 
2700
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2701
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2702
 
2703
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2704
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2705
      Support includes
2706
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2707
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2708
 
2709
Minor changes:
2710
    * Build file processing
2711
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2712
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2713
 
2714
    * MOS builds
2715
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2716
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2717
 
2718
    * MOS builds
2719
      New 'known' product: PICP
2720
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2721
 
2722
    * GenerateFiles directive
2723
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2724
        under windows.
2725
 
2726
        .
2727
 
2728
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2729
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2730
 
2731
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2732
      to the output stream.
2733
 
2734
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2735
 
2736
    * Windows Shell
2737
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2738
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2739
 
2740
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2741
 
2742
    * H8S toolset
2743
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2744
 
2745
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2746
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2747
 
2748
Internal changes
2749
    * WinCe builds
2750
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2751
      content of the file.
2752
 
2753
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2754
 
2755
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2756
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

Major changes:
2769
 
2770
Minor changes:
2771
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2772
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2773
      Changes are transparent to users.
2774
 
2775
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2776
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2777
      this occurs.
2778
 
2779
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2780
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2781
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2782
      automated build framework.
2783
 
2784
    * jats sandbox command
2785
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2786
      'create' command.
2787
 
2788
    * jats command aliases. Added
2789
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles

2795
Major changes:
2796
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2797
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2798
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2799
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2800
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2801
      will work as expected
2802
 
2803
Minor changes:
2804
    * VS2008 Toolset
2805
      Picking up incorrect config details
2806
      May result in a warning message.
2807
 
2808
    * gen_cots utility
2809
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2810
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2811
 
2812
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2813
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2861
Major changes:
2862
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2863
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2864
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2865
 
2866
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2867
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2868
 
2869
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2870
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2871
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2872
           names cannot be changed.
2873
 
2874
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2875
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2876
 
2877
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2878
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2879
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2880
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2881
 
2882
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2883
      file.
2884
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2885
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2886
      MyPackage.dpk.
2887
 
2888
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2889
      file.
2890
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2891
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2892
      MyDll.dpr.
2893
 
2894
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2895
      file.
2896
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2897
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2898
      MyProg.dpr.
2899
 
2900
Minor changes:
2901
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2902
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2903
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2904
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2905
 
2906
    * BuildVersion directive
2907
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2908
      in a Delphi Unit.
2909
 
2910
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2911
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2912
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2913
      'know' the location of the files.
2914
 
2915
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2916
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2917
 
2918
Internal Changes:
2919
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2920
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2921
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2922
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2923
 
2924
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2925
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2926
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

2930
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2931
Major changes:
2932
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2933
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2934
      information for purely C++ builds.
2935
 
289 dpurdie 2936
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2937
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2938
 
289 dpurdie 2939
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2940
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2941
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2942
 
2943
Minor changes:
2944
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2945
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2946
 
2947
    * updatenodespec utility
2948
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2949

2993
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2994
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2995
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2996
 
2997
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2998
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3004
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3005
 
279 dpurdie 3006
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3007
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3008
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3009
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3010
 
3011
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3012
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3013
 
3014
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3015
 
3016
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3017
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3018
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3019
 
3020
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3021
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3022
        processed.
3023
 
3024
      Removed the '-delete' option
3025
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3026
 
277 dpurdie 3027
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3028
    * Sandbox command
3029
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3030
 
3031
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3032
      target from consideration in the build set.
3033
 
3034
    * MCR Toolset
3035
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3036
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3037
 
3038
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3039
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3040
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3041
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3042
 
3043
    * Jats run_test command
3044
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3045
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3046
 
3047
    * descpkg file
3048
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3049
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3050
 
3051
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3052
     Now contains build trace information
3053
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3054
 
3055
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3056
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3057
     it contains 'jar' files.
3058
 
3059
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3060
 
3061
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3062
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3063
 
3064
   * BuildVersion directive
3065
     Form:
3066
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3067
     now works as expected.
3068
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3069
 
3070
Internal Changes:
3071
 
3072
    * Error reporting mechanism
3073
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to

3075
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

3088
 
3089
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3090

3093
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3094
    non-platform option.
3095

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
3235
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3236
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3237
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

3260
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3261
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3262
 
3263
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

Minor changes:
3400
    * JATS make: Merge Library Operation [DEVI-049475]
3401
      Fixed such that Library Merge operations don't delete other build
3402
      artifacts.
3403
 
3404
    * JATS make: New option expert=0|1
3405
      Runtime processing of 'expert' mode to allow dependencies between the
3406
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
3407
 
3408
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
3409
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
3410
      time.
3411
 
3412
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
3413
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."
3414
 
3415
    * Nunit support in CSHARP
3416
      Improved support for different version of Nunit
3417
      Allow the DLLs that are required by nunit to be specified 
3418
      within the package.
3419
 
3420
    * Jats utility: dstatus
3421
      Suppresses archived releases.
3422
      Shows release state
3423
 
3424
    * Build file directive: BuildPkgArchive
3425
      Extended list of supported directories to include 'wsdl'.
3426
 
3427
Internal Changes:
3428
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
3429
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3430
      Previously was being done at two places
3431
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3432
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3433
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
3434
 
3435
    * JATS make: Command line
3436
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
3437
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
3438
 
3439
      It didn't work on all platforms.
3440
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
3441
 
3442
    * JATS command line
3443
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
3444
      to allow:
3445
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
3446
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
3447
        + Consistent use of option parsing
3448
 
3449
    * JATS makefile generation
3450
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
3451
      Improved readability of the generation process
3452
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
3453
      Removed dead code
3454
      Improved the creation of Progs
3455
 
3456
    * JATS error reporting
3457
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
3458
      problems.
3459
 
3460
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG
3461
      environment variables where the 'tag' contains a space.
3462
 
3463
    * Assorted Perl files
3464
      Minor corrected after running Perl Syntax check over JATS files.
3465
 
3466
    * Made the use of IFLAGS uniform for all JATS toolsets
3467
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
3468
      makefiles
3469
 
3470
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
3471
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
3472
 
3473
    * FileUtils package.
3474
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
3475
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
3476
      Used functions within JATS.

Major changes:
3490
 
3491
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
3492
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3493
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3494
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3495
 
3496
Minor changes:
3497
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3498
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
3499
 
3500
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
3501
      some windows tools.

3505
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3506
Major changes:
3507
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
3508
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3509
 
3510
      New platforms:
3511
        CSHARP2005
3512
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3513
         Support extends to allow:
3514
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3515
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3516
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3517
 
3518
        VS2005
3519
         Support extends to allow:
3520
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3521
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3522
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3523
 
3524
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3525
      through a version selector:
3526
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3527
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3528
 
3529
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3530
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3531
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3532
 
3533
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3534
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3535
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3536
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3537
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3538
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3539
          under VS2005.
3540
 
3541
Minor changes:
3542
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
3543
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
3544
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
3545
 
3546
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3547
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3548
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3549
 
3550
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3551
 
3552
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3553
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3554
 
3555
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3556
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3557
      a minimal value of perl.
3558
 
3559
      Removed excessive require statements.
3560
 
3561
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3562
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3563
      Include JATS specific files for
3564
        1) Windows
3565
        2) Linux
3566
 
3567
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3568
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3569
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3570
      machines.
3571
 
3572
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3573
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3574
 
3575
    * JATS Environment
3576
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3577
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3578
 
3579
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3580
      wrapper scripts.
3581
 
3582
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3583
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3584
      Spell check help and code.

3609
 
3610
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
3611
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
3612
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
3613
      was added.
3614
 
3615
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
3616
      reviewing a new package.
3617
 
3618
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3619
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
3620
      automatically included in the source file list.
3621
 
253 dpurdie 3622

3636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3637
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3638
  * New toolset and platform
3639
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3640
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3641
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3642
    this platform.
3643
 
3644
Minor changes:
3645
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3646
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3647
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3648
    work.
3649
 
3650
  * Jats utility: release
3651
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3652
    published to dpkg_archive.
3653
 
249 dpurdie 3654
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3655
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3656
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3657
    supported for ANT builds.
3658
 
3659
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3660
        releasemanager.releasename
3661
        releasemanager.projectname
3662
 
3663
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3664
    tagged data item of the form
3665
 
3666
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3667
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3668
 
3669
  * Mug File Generation
3670
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3671
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3672
 
3673
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3674
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3675
    required.
3676
 
3677
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3678
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3679
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3680
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3681
    the files in order to use them.
3682
 
3683
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3684
    locate the file.
3685
 
3686
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3687
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3688
 
3689
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3690
        * CSharp
3691
        * Properties
3692
        * WinRC
3693
 
3694
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3695
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3696
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3697
    Value is correctly assigned.
3698

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3702
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3703
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3704
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3705
 
3706
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3707
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3708
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3709
 
3710
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3711
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3712
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3713
 
3714
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3715
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3716
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3717
 
3718
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3719
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3720
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3721
    correct.
3722
 
3723
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3724
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3725
 
3726
Minor changes:
3727
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3728
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3729
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3730
 
3731
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3732
    This will simplify new user setup.
3733
 
3734
  * All Unix Toolsets
3735
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3736
    on unix systems
3737
 
3738
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3739
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3740
    on some Solaris Machines.
3741
 
3742
  * JATS -version=<version>
3743
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3744
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3745

3758
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
3759
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets
3760
 
3761
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
3762
      Does not work with LMOS
3763
 
3764
    * Readme.txt file
3765
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
3766
 
3767
    * Misc Cleanup
3768
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
3787
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
3788
 
3789
  * JATS builds
3790
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
3791
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
3792
    mode.
3793
 
3794
  * JATS makefiles
3795
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3796
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3797
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3798
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3799
                            SetList directive.
3800
 
3801
    ie: AddSrcDir ('--Project=sls' , 'sls' );
3802
        AddSrcDir ('!--Project=sls', 'default');
3803
 
3804
  * JATS makefiles. MakeProject directive
3805

        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
3809
 
3810
  * JATS buildfile processing
3811

3812
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
3813
    of JATS.
3814
 
3815
  * JATS save_build utility
3816
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
3817
    which may be reserved.
3818
 
3819
  * JATS gen_cots utility
3820
    Correctly labels directories up to the VOB root.
3821
    Displays the correct 'Source Path' in the Release Manager Information.
3822
    Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only
3823
 
3824
  * JATS sandbox (experimental)
3825
    Ensure the AutoBuildTool does not use any sandbox
3826
 
3827
  * JATS release (cbuilder) utility
3828
    Handle paths that have a trailing path separators.
3829
 
3830

3832
    such that the direction cannot use a a relative path.
3833
 
3834
    * Escrow tool
3835
      Creates a simple HTML file that details all the packages with a short
3836
      description.

      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
3846
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
3847
 
3848
    * MOS Toolset
3849
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
3850
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
3851
 
3852
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
3853
      can have production (PIC) components.

3902
    * MOS Compiler
3903
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3904
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3905
 
3906
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3907
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3908
      descpkg files to be copied.
3909
 
3910
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
3911
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

3944
 
3945
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3946
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3947
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3948
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3949
 
3950
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3951
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3952
 
3953
    * Jats wrapper
3954
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3955
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3956

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3960
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3961
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3962
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3963
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3964
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3965
 
3966
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3967
 
3968
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3969
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3970
 
3971
    * Running Jats
3972
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3973
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3974
      This may affect some windows developers.
3975
 
3976
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3977
      Future versions will generate an error.
3978
 
3979
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3980
 
3981
Minor changes:
3982
    * Perl Version Check
3983
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3984
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3985
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3986
 
3987
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3988
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3989
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3990
      build.
3991
 
3992
    * Jats Internals
3993
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3994
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3995
 
3996
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3997
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3998
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3999
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4000
      process.
4001
 
4002
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4003
      Only works under Windows.
4004
 
4005
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4006
 
4007
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4008
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4009
 
4010
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4011
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4012
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4013
 
4014
    * Jats eprog
4015
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4016
      directory.
4017
 
4018
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4019
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4020
      build metrics.
4021

4025
Major changes:
4026
 
4027
Minor changes:
4028
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4029
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4030
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4031
      automated build system. New options are:
4032
        -pname=Package_Name
4033
        -pversion=Package_Version
4034
 
4035
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4036
      transferring the package. New options are:
4037
        -test
4038
 
4039
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4040
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4041
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4042
 
4043
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4044
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4045
 
4046
    * Solaris Toolset
4047
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4048
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4049
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4054
Major changes:
4055
 
4056
Minor changes:
4057
    * WINCE toolsets
4058
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4059
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4060
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4061
      when header files cannot be found.
4062
 
4063
    * GenerateFiles directive
4064
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4065
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4066
      that are difficult to solve.
4067
 
4068
    * MakePerlModule directive
4069
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4070
      to the the module builder.
4071
 
4072
    * Jats Tool: label
4073
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4074
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4075
      -dirs=xxx options.
4076
 
4077
    * Jats Tool: release
4078
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4079
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4080
 
4081
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4082
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4083
 
4084
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4085
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4086
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4087
 
4088
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4108
    * make clean up
4109
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4110
 
4111
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4112
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4113
      minor file transformations such as:

4164
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4165
 
4166
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4167
      inconsistent packages.
4168
 
4169
    * jats make help
4170
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are

4185
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4186
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4187
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4188
 
4189
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4190
        New options:
4191
            --MultiScan
4192
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4193
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4194
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4200
Major changes:
4201
 
4202
Minor changes:
4203
    PackageLib directive
4204
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4205
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4206
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4207
 
4208
    MakefileGenerate directive
4209
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4210
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4211
 
4212
    Multiple Parent detection
4213
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4214
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4215
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4216
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4217
 
4218
    Solaris Toolset
4219
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4220
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4221
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4222
    link.
4223
 
4224
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4225
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4226
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4227
 
4228
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4229
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4230
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4231
    file.

Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
4235
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4236
Major changes:
4237
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4238
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4239
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4240
 
4241
    Summary of changes:
4242
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4243
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4244
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4245
          flexibility.
4246
 
4247
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4248
 
4249
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4250
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4251
          interface directory and associated build information.
4252
 
4253
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4254
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4255
          than one second.
4256
 
4257
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4258
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4259
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4260
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4261
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4262
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4263
 
4264
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4265
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4266
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4267
 
4268
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4269
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4270
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4271
          building them.
4272
 
4273
        - Detection of build file changes
4274
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4275
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4276
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4277
 
4278
        - Quieter make output
4279
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4280
 
4281
 
4282
Minor changes:
4283
    MakeAnt Directive
4284
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4285
 
4286
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4287
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4288
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4289
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4290
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4291
 
4292
    CSHARP toolset
4293
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4294

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4302
    are generated.
4303
 
4304
    MakeAnt
4305
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4306
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4307
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4308
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4309
 
4310
    MCR platform

    MakeAnt directive extended
4321
    New option: --PackageBase
4322
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4323
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4324
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4325
 
4326
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4327
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4328
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4329
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4349
 
4350
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4351
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4352
 
4353
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4354
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4355
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4356
 
4357
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4358
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4359
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4360
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

Minor changes:
4388
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4389
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4390
 
4391
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4392
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4393
      last.
4394
 
4395
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4396
 
4397
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4398
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4399
 
4400
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4401
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4402
 
4403
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4404
 
4405
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4406
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4407
 
4408
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4409
 
4410
 
4411
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4412
           with the --System option
4413
 
4414

4425
      dependent packages.
4426
 
4427
    * RunTest operation
4428
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4429
 
4430

4435
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4436
Major changes:
4437
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4438
 
4439
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4440
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4441
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4442
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4443
      path.
4444
 
4445
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4446
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4447
      reproducible.
4448
 
4449
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4450
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4451
 
4452
      There are several aspects to the change
4453
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4454
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4455
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4456
 
4457
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4458
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4459
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4460
          controlled separately.
4461
 
4462
Minor changes:
4463
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4464
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4465
        Remove duplicates
4466
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4467

4471
Major changes:
4472
 
4473
Minor changes:
4474
    * Makefile sanity test
4475
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4476
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4477
 
4478
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4479
      x86 machine.
4480
 
4481
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4482
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4483
 
4484

4485
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4486
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4487
Major changes:
4488
    * RunTest directive
4489
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4490
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4491
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4492
 
4493
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4494
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4495
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4496
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4497
 
4498
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4499
        builder within the current toolset.
4500
 
4501
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4502
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4503
 
4504
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4505
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4506
      containing the RunTest directive.
4507
 
4508
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4509
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4510
 
4511
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4512
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4513
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4514
 
4515
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4516
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4517
                            P or D suffix.
4518
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4519
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4520
 
4521
Minor changes:
4522
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4523
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4524
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4525
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4526
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4527
 
4528
    * Save Build Utility
4529
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4530
      used in a ripple build.
4531
 
4532
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4533
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4534
 
4535
    * Release Utility
4536
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4537
      when an error is encountered.
4538
 
4539
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4540
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4541
 
4542
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4543
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4544
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4545
 
4546
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4547
      before the makefiles are created.
4548
 
4549
    * TestProg directive
4550
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4551
 
4552
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4553
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4554

            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4561
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4562
 
4563
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4564
            DEVLINUX
4565
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4566
 
4567
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4568
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4569
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4570
 
4571
Minor changes:
4572
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4573
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4574
 
4575
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4576
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4577
 
4578
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4579
      and .cs files.
4580
 
4581
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4582
      thing.
4583
 
4584
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4585
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4586
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4587
      were it places temp files.
4588
 
4589
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4590
      interaction with other builds.
4591
 
4592
    * Release utility command
4593
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4594
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4595
      component in the clearcase tag name.

4612
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4613
 
4614
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
4615
    as a Script.

4643
Major changes:
4644
 
4645
Minor changes:
4646
  * WINCE Support
4647
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4648
 
4649
  * Removed the following targets
4650
        TP5600
4651
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4652
        TP5600_EMU
4653
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4654
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4655
 
4656
  * Deployment
4657
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4658
 
4659
  * build.pl
4660
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4661
 
4662
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4663
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4664
 
4665
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4666
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4667
    build.
4668
 
4669
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4670
 
4671
  * Tool: escrow
4672
     New features
4673
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4674
     are not in the SBOM.
4675
 
4676
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4677
 
4678
     Specify packages to be ignored.

4682
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
4683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4684
Major changes:
4685
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4686
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4687
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4688
 
4689
  * GenerateFiles
4690
    Added the options:
4691
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4692
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4693
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4694
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4695
 
4696
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4697
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4698
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4699
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4700
                                  required.
4701
 
4702
 
4703
Minor changes:
4704
  * GenerateFile directive
4705
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4706
 
4707
  * GCC Toolset
4708
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4709
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4710
    be rebuilt.
4711
 
4712
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4713
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4714
 
4715
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4716
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4717
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4718
Major changes:
4719
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4720
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4721
    environment variables.
4722
 
4723
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4724
            moved.
4725
 
4726
    This will affect users that:
4727
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4728
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4729
 
4730
        2) Use the ABT system
4731
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4732
           the required configuration
4733
 
4734
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4735
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4736
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4737
    Windows
4738
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 4739
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
4740
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4741
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 4742
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 4743
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
4744
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4745
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 4746
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4747
 
4748
 
4749
  * New build platforms
4750
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4751
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4752
 
4753
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4754
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4755
 
4756
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4757
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4758
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4759
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4760
 
4761
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4762
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4763
    release.
4764
 
4765
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4766
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4767
 
4768
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4769
    need to be converted.
4770
 
4771
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4772
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4773
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4774
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4775
    used for different targets platforms.
4776
 
4777
  * Sandbox support
4778
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4779
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4780
 
4781
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4782
 
4783
Minor changes:
4784
 
4785
 
4786
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4787
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4788
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4789
Major changes:
4790
  * MakeAnt directive
4791
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4792
 
4793
    New options
4794
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4795
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4796
 
4797
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4798
    run_unit_tests phase.
4799
 
4800
  * Sandbox support
4801
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4802
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4803
 
4804
Minor changes:
4805
  * jats build
4806
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4807
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4808
 
4809
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4810
 
4811
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4812
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4813
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4814
 
4815
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4816
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4817
 
4818
  * JATS.BAT
4819
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4820
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4821
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4822
 
4823
  * jats label
4824
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4825
 
4826
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4827
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4828
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4829
Major changes:
4830
  * New build platform:
4831
        LMOS_TP5600
4832
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4833
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4834
 
4835
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4836
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4837
    describe the group of platforms.
4838
 
4839
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4840
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4841
    build these targets.
4842
 
4843
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4844
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4845
 
4846
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4847
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4848
 
4849
  * New build platform: WINCE
4850
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4851
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4852
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4853
 
4854
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4855
            WCEIT3000
4856
            WCEPA961
4857
            WCEPA962
4858
            WCEPCM7220
4859
            WCEPSION_420
4860
            WCEPSPC_arm
4861
            WCEPSPC_emu
4862
            WCEX86A420
4863
            WCEX86A500
4864
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4865
 
4866
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4867
 
4868
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4869
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4870
    that contain packaging directives.
4871
 
4872
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4873
    very unusual configurations.
4874
 
4875
Minor changes:
4876
  * Directive: PackageFile
4877
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4878
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4879
    an '='.
4880
 
4881
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4882
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4883
 
4884
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4885
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4886
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4887
 
4888
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4889
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4890
 
4891
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4892
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4893
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4894
Major changes:
4895
 
4896
  * JATS release command
4897
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4898
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4899
 
4900
    Rules are:
4901
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4902
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4903
                            File will be placed on a branch
4904
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4905
                            New directory will branch
4906
 
4907
Minor changes:
4908
  * JATS release command
4909
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4910
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4911
 
4912
  * JATS label command
4913
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4914
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4915
 
4916
  * JATS make
4917
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4918
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4919
    was re-packaged.
4920
 
4921
  * JATS escrow
4922
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4923
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4924
 
4925
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4926
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4927
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4928
 
4929
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4930
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4931
    interface directory.
4932
 
4933
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4934
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4935
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4936
    directory as seen by the package.
4937
 
4938
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4939
 
4940
  * JAVA 6
4941
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4942
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4943
 
4944
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4945
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4946
 
4947
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4948
 
4949
  * Jats command: vars
4950
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4951
    These indicate potential problems.
4952
 
4953
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4954
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4955
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4956
Major changes:
4957
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4958
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4959
    libarry is also created.
4960
 
4961
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4962
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4963
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4964
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4965
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4966
    information contained within the file.
4967
 
4968
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4969
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4970
 
4971
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4972
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4973
 
4974
  * Building Perl Modules
4975
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4976
    documentation on the build machine.
4977
 
4978
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4979
 
4980
Minor changes:
4981
  * jats create_dpkg
4982
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4983
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4984
 
4985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4986
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4987
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4988
Major changes:
4989
  * JATS JAVA build target
4990
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4991
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4992
 
4993
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4994
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4995
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4996
    is then picked up as the default version.
4997
 
4998
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4999
    build.pl file.
5000
 
5001
Minor changes:
5002
  * jats release
5003
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5004
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5005
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5006
 
5007
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5008
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5009
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5010
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5011
    the name of the view.
5012
 
5013
  * GenerateFiles directive
5014
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5015
 
5016
  * MOS Toolset
5017
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5018
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5019
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5020
 
5021
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5022
 
5023
 
5024
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5025
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5026
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5027
Major changes:
5028
 
5029
Minor changes:
5030
  * JATS environment
5031
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5032
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5033
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5034
 
5035
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5036
 
5037
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5038
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5039
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5040
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5041
    to be packaged.
5042
 
5043
  * Generated makefiles
5044
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5045
 
5046
  * Generating MOS THX files
5047
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5048
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5049
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5050
 
5051
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5052
 
5053
  * JATS release
5054
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5055
 
5056
  * JATS extract
5057
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5058
 
5059
  * JATS Toolset
5060
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5061
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5062
 
5063

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5065
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5067
Major changes:
5068
 
5069
Minor changes:
5070
  * jats label
5071
    Added a -vob=name option
5072
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5073
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5074
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5075
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5076
 
5077
    Added a -user=name option
5078
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5079
    label to the named user.
5080
 
5081
  * jats release
5082
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5083
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5084
 
5085
  * JATS build.pl
5086
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5087
    ie:
5088
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5089

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5092
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5093
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5094
Major changes:
5095
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5096
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5097
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5098
    the makefile internals. ie:
5099
        --Var(BuildName)
5100
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5101
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5102
 
5103
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5104
 
5105
  * GenerateFiles
5106
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5107
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5108
 
5109
  * BuildPlatforms
5110
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5111
 
5112
Minor changes:
5113
  * GCC Toolset
5114
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5115
 
5116
Internal changes:
5117
  * GenerateFiles
5118
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5119
 
5120
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5121
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5122
 
5123
 
5124
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5125
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5126
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5127
Major changes:
5128
  * Caching JATS
5129
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5130
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5131
 
5132
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5133
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5134
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5135
 
5136
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5137
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5138
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5139
 
5140
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5141
 
5142
Minor changes:
5143
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5144
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5145
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5146
 
5147
  * jats build
5148
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5149
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5150
    processed by the build.
5151
 
5152
  * jats build
5153
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5154
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5155
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5156
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5157
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5158
 
5159
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5160
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5161
    Path is not specified.
5162
 
5163
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5164
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5165
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5166
        --Dir=$Pinc
5167
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5168
 
5169
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5170
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5171
    Windows platform.
5172
 
5173
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5174
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5175
            by 'purecov.
5176
 
5177
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5178
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5179
 
5180
        - OPTIONS=purify
5181
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5182
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5183
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5184

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
5188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5189
Major changes:
5190
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5191
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5192
    Example:
5193
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5194
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5195
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5196
 
5197
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5198
    been determined.
5199
 
5200
Minor changes:
5201
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5202
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5203
    located at build-time.
5204
 
5205
  * Unix based systems
5206
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5207
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5208
 
5209
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5210
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5211
    driver being built.
5212
 
5213
 
5214

5219
 
5220
Minor changes:
5221
  * jats_rewrite tool
5222
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
5223
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
5224
 
5225
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5226
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5227
 
5228
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5229
    dependancy information within a package.
5230
 
5231
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5232
    messages.
5233
 
5234
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5235
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
5236
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5237
Major changes:
5238
  * makefile.pl directives
5239
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
5240
 
5241
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5242
 
5243
    GenerateFiles.
5244
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5245
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5246
                      be run on every invocation.
5247
 
5248
 
5249
Minor changes:
5250
  * Added the jats version command
5251
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
5252
 
5253
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
5254
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5255
  There are two mechanism:
5256
 
5257
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5258
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5259
 
5260
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5261
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5262
 
5263
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5264
  default.
5265
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5266
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
5267

5270
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5271
Major changes:
5272
  * SunWorks Toolset
5273
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5274
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5275
    It is based on machine type.
5276
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5277
 
5278
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5279
 
5280
Minor changes:
5281
  * Perl DBI interface
5282
    Removed the message showing database connection
5283
 
5284
  * JATS internal library
5285
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
5286
 
5287

5289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5290
Major changes:
5291
  * GCC Toolset
5292
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
5293
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
5294
    Removed the use of `uname`.
5295
 
5296
  * Added platforms
5297
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
5298
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5299
    TP5600_EMU
5300
 
5301
Minor changes:
5302
  * descpkg file reader
5303
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
5304
    field separator.
5305
 
5306
  * JATS eprog command
5307
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5308
 
5309
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5310
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5311
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5312
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5313
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5314
 
5315
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5316
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5317
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5318
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5319
 
5320
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5321
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

5328
 
5329
  * GCC Toolset (Shared Library Generation)
5330
    Added option --Def=file_name to the shared library definitions
5331
 
5332
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
5333
 
5334
 
5335
Minor changes:
5336
  * JATS wrapper script
5337
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5338
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5339
    to setup links to system programs.
5340

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5359
Major changes:
5360
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5361
    Added CompileOptions
5362
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5363
        no_misalign         - Default
5364
 
5365
        multithread         - Default
5366
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
5367
 
5368
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5369
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
5370
 
5371
        prod_no_optimise
5372
        prod_no_debuginfo
5373
        prod_optimise
5374
        prod_debuginfo
5375
 
5376

5383
    Theses are:
5384
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5385
        SOLARIS_AMD
5386
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5387
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5388
 
5389
Minor changes:
5390
  * AT3232 toolset
5391
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

Version: JATS_2.56.3                                Released: 04-Sep-06
5399
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5400
Major changes:
5401
 
5402
Minor changes:
5403
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5404
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5405
    messages
5406
 
5407
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5408
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5409
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5410
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5411
 
5412
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5413
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
5414
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5415
Major changes:
5416
 
5417
Minor changes:
5418
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5419
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5420
    library without creating the body of the library:
5421
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5422
 
5423
 
5424
  * MOS toolsets
5425
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5426
    library without creating the body of the library:
5427
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5428
 
5429
  * JATS BIN directories
5430
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5431
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5432
    using autoconf.
5433
 
5434
  * Generate directive
5435
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5436
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5437
 
5438
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5439
 
5440
 
5441
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5442
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5443
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5444
Major changes:
5445
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5446
    Initial release.
5447
 
5448
Minor changes:
5449
 
5450
 
5451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5452
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5454
Major changes:
5455
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5456
    Initial release.
5457
 
5458
  * Packaging directives
5459
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5460
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5461
 
5462
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5463
        SOLARIS
5464
        WIN32
5465
 
5466
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5467
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5468
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5469
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5470
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5471
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5472
 
5473
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5474
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5475
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5476
 
5477
 
5478
Minor changes:
5479
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5480
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5481
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5482
 
5483
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5484
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5485
    location
5486
 
5487
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5488
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5489
 
5490
  * Utility genrc
5491
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5492
 
5493
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5494
    Added option: -new
5495
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5496
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5497
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5498
 
5499
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5500
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5501
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5502
 
5503
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5504
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5505
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5506
 
5507
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5508
   features - in a uniform manner.
5509
 
5510
 
5511
Internal Changes:
5512
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5513
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5514
 
5515
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5516
        1) Platform information available at build time
5517
        2) Dynamic platform names
5518
 
5519
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5520
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5521
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5522
 
5523
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5524
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5525
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5526
 
5527
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5528
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5529
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5530
    needed.
5531
 
5532
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5533
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5534
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5535
    files from all of these.
5536

5538
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
5539
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5540
Major changes:
5541
 
5542
Minor changes:
5543
  * WinCE toolset
5544
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
5545
 
5546
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5547
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5548
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5549
Major changes:
5550
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5551
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5552
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5553
 
5554
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5555
 
5556
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5557
    the operations.
5558
 
5559
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5560
 
5561
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5562
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5563
 
5564
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5565
 
5566
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5567
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5568
 
5569
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5570
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5571
    Extended the built-in help
5572
    Added useful error messages
5573
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5574
 
5575
  * WinCE toolset
5576
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5577
 
5578
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5579
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5580
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5581
 
5582
Minor changes:
5583
  * JATS wrapper script
5584
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5585
    the command line.
5586
 
5587
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5588
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5589
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5590
 
5591
Internal Changes:
5592
  * Common Error Reporting
5593
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5594
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5595
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5596
    level.
5597
 
5598
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5599
    displayed.
5600
 
5601
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5602
 
5603
  * Added JatsSystem module
5604
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5605
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5606
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5608
Major changes:
5609
 
5610
Minor changes:
5611
  * BR Compiler toolset
5612
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5613
    .def files to include other files.
5614
 
5615
  * IAR toolset
5616
    Added AT7272 support
5617
 
5618
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5619
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5620
 
5621
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5622
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
5623
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5624
Major changes:
5625
 
5626
Minor changes:
5627
  * BR Compiler toolset
5628
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5629
    use.
5630
 
5631
 
5632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5633
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5635
Major changes:
5636
 
5637
Minor changes:
5638
  * Mictotec toolset
5639
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5640
    builds.
5641
 
5642
  * JATS Core
5643
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5644
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5645
    behaviour.
5646
 
5647
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5648
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5649
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5650
Major changes:
5651
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5652
    Deployment package will be affected.
5653
 
5654
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5655
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5656
 
5657
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5658
 
5659
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5660
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5661
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5662
    packages.
5663
 
5664
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5665
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5666
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5667
 
5668
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5669
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5670
 
5671
Minor changes:
5672
  * SubDir directive
5673
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5674
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5675
 
5676
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5677
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5678
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5679
    of the file usage.
5680
 
5681
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5682
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5683
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5684
 
5685
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5686
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5687
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5688
 
5689
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5690
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5691
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5692
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5693
 
5694
 
5695
Internal Changes:
5696
  * Code refactor
5697
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5698
 
5699
  * Deployment utilities
5700
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5701
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5702
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5703
    the module can locate the file.
5704
 
5705
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5706
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5707
 
5708
  * JATS core
5709
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5710
 
5711
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5712
 
5713
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5714
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5715
    through the use of environment variables.
5716
 
5717
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5718
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5719
 
5720
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5721
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5722
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5723
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5724
 
5725
  * Make environment
5726
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5727
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5728
 
5729
 
5730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5731
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5732
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5733
Major changes:
5734
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5735
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5736
 
5737
 
5738
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5739
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5741
 
5742
Not Released.
5743
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5744
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5745
 
5746
 
5747
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5748
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5749
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5750
Major changes:
5751
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5752
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5753
    radically replaced.
5754
 
5755
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5756
    Usage:
5757
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5758
 
5759
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5760
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5761
    this solution:
5762
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5763
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5764
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5765
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5766
 
5767
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5768
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5769
    order to work.
5770
 
5771
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5772
    reduced functionality.
5773
 
5774
 
5775
Minor changes:
5776
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5777
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5778
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5779
 
5780
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5781
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5782
    within the makefiles.
5783
        Options:
5784
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5785
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5786
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5787
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5788
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5789
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5790
        Useage:
5791
 
5792
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5793
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5794
 
5795
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5796
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5797
    is not in the current directory.
5798
 
5799
  * Jats Command: ant'
5800
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5801
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5802
 
5803
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5804
 
5805
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5806
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5807
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5808
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5809
 
5810
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5811
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5812
    Thus
5813
 
5814
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5815
 
5816
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5817

Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5821
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5822
Major changes:
5823
 
5824
Minor changes:
5825
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5826
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5827
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5828
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5829
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5830
 
5831
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5832
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5833
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5834
 
5835
Internal changes:
5836
  * JATS toolsets
5837
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5838
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5839
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5840
 
5841
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5842
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5843
 
5844
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5845
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5847
Major changes:
5848
  * Jats command: etool
5849
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5850
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5851
 
5852
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5853
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5854
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5855
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5856
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5857
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5858
 
5859
Minor changes:
5860
 
5861
 
5862
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5863
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5864
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5865
Major changes:
5866
  * JATS environment variables
5867
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5868
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5869
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5870
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5871
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5872
 
5873
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5874
              Remote repository
5875
 
5876
    Added GBE_DPLY
5877
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5878
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5879
 
5880
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5881
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5882
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5883
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5884
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5885
 
5886
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5887
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5888
 
5889
 
5890
Minor changes:
5891
  * JATS utility: build
5892
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5893
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5894
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5895
 
5896
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5897
    Ensure label is not locked
5898
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5899
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5900
 
5901
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5902
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5903
    to a specific type of build.
5904
 
5905
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5906
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5907
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5908
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5909
 
5910
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5911
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5912
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5913
 
5914
  * JATS utility: release
5915
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5916
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5917
 
5918
  * JATS utility: label
5919
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5920
    when it is being created.
5921
 
5922
Internal Changes
5923
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5924
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5925
 
5926
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5927
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5928
 
5929
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5930
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5931
    different results.
5932
 
5933
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5934
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5935
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5936
 
5937
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5938
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5939
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5940
Major changes:
5941
 
5942
  * MCR toolset
5943
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5944
 
5945
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5946
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5947
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5948
Major changes:
5949
  * WIN32 utilities
5950
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5951
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5952
 
5953
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5954
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5955
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5956
 
5957
Minor changes:
5958
  * BuildVersion
5959
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5960
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5961
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5962
 
5963
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5964
 
5965
  * Unix Builds
5966
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5967
    library or a shared library.
5968
 
5969
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5970
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5971
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5972
    start with 'lib'.
5973
 
5974
  * BuildPkgArchive
5975
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5976
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5977
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5978
 
5979
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5980
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5981
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5982
Major changes:
5983
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5984
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5985
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5986
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5987
    being manually maintained.
5988
 
5989
 
5990
Minor changes:
5991
  * MakeAnt directive
5992
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5993
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5994
    supports ANT builds.
5995
 
5996
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5997
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5998
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5999
 
6000
  * Label utility
6001
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
6002
    files to be labeled.
6003
 
6004
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
6005
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
6006
    on Solaris.
6007
 
6008
  * Generated makefiles
6009
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
6010
    nothing.
6011
 
6012
  * MOS Toolset
6013
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
6014
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
6015
    modules.
6016
 
6017
  * Utility: gen_cots
6018
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
6019
    and then check it in under clearcase.
6020
 
6021
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
6022
 
6023
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
6024
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
6025
 
6026
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6027
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
6028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6029
Major changes:
6030
  None
6031
 
6032
Minor changes:
6033
  * DEVI addressed
6034
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6035
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6036
 
6037
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6038
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6039
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6040
 
6041
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6042
 
6043
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6044
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6045
 
6046
  * RunTest directive
6047
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6048
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6049
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6050
 
6051
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6052
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6053
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6054
    packaged under JATS
6055
 
6056
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6057
          supported within JATS.
6058
 
6059
  * Jats utility wrapper
6060
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6061
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6062
 
6063
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6064
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6065
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6066
 
6067
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6068
    Eg: jats ant
6069
 
6070
  * Jats utility wrapper
6071
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6072
 
5710 dpurdie 6073
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6074
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6075
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6076
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6077
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6078
 
5710 dpurdie 6079
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6080
    expect a build.pl file.
6081
 
6082
  * Jats utility wrapper
6083
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6084
 
6085
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6086
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6087
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6088
 
6089
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6090
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6091
 
6092
  * Build files
6093
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6094
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6095
 
6096
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6097
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6098
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6099
Major changes:
6100
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6101
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6102
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6103
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6104
 
6105
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6106
 
6107
Minor changes:
6108
  * None
6109
 
6110
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6111
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6112
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6113
Major changes:
6114
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6115
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6116
    ie:
6117
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6118
 
6119
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6120
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6121
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6122
    environments are compatible.
6123
 
6124
 
6125
Minor changes:
6126
  * BuildName option
6127
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6128
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6129
 
6130
  * jats.bat
6131
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6132
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6133
 
6134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6135
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6136
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6137
Major changes:
6138
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6139
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6140
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6141
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6142
 
6143
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6144
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6145
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6146
 
6147
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6148
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6149
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6150
 
6151
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6152
    transferred.
6153
 
6154
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6155
    See notes below.
6156
 
6157
  * WIN32 toolset
6158
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6159
    correctly.
6160
 
6161
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6162
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6163
 
6164
  * BuildVersion
6165
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6166
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6167
    other langauges as needed.
6168
 
6169
 
6170
Minor changes:
6171
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6172
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6173
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6174
    version strings.
6175
 
6176
  * GenerateFiles directive
6177
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6178
    package or an imported package.
6179
 
6180
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6181
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6182
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6183
 
6184
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6185
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6186
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6187
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6188
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6189
 
6190
Internal Changes
6191
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6192
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6193
    of utilities.
6194
 
6195
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6196
    functions.
6197
 
6198
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6199
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6200
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6201
Major changes:
6202
  * Generated makefiles
6203
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6204
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6205
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6206
 
6207
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6208
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6209
    incorrectly processing:
6210
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6211
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6212
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6213
    confused.
6214
 
6215
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6216
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6217
    The construct
6218
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6219
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6220
    then it works.
6221
 
6222
  * MakeAnt directive
6223
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6224
 
6225
    This option has the following effects
6226
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6227
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6228
 
6229
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6230
           early - in the generated files phase.
6231
 
6232
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6233
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6234
 
6235
 
6236
Minor changes:
6237
  * JATS post-installation script
6238
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6239
 
6240
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6241
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6242
    windows.
6243
 
6244
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6245
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6246
 
6247
  * Jats wrapper script
6248
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6249
        1) Contain spaces
6250
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6251
 
6252
  * Toolset
6253
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6254
 
6255
  * JAVA toolset
6256
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6257
    directive:
6258
 
6259
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6260
 
6261
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6262
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6263
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6264
 
6265
  * GCC Toolset
6266
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6267
 
6268
  * Makefile generation
6269
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6270
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6271
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6272
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6273
    package could not be used.
6274
 
6275
  * Unit Tests
6276
    The following environment variables are set:
6277
 
6278
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6279
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6280
 
6281
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6282
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6283
 
6284
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6285
 
6286
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6287
 
6288
 
6289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6290
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6291
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6292
Major changes:
6293
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6294
 
6295
    Special features of this toolset.
6296
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6297
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6298
       incorporated within the target image.
6299
 
6300
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6301
       --Set=Name=Value
6302
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6303
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6304
 
6305
       --Ref=name
6306
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6307
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6308
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6309
                will be taken from the build version number.
6310
 
6311
Minor changes:
6312
  * MOS Toolset
6313
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6314
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6315
    packaged.
6316
 
6317
  * Src directive
6318
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6319
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6320
    specifier.
6321
 
6322
  * WIN32 runtime support
6323
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6324
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6325
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6326
 
6327
Internal:
6328
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6329
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6330
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6331
 
6332
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6333
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6334
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6335
Major changes:
6336
    * BuildAlias directive
6337
      Added options.
6338
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6339
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6340
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6341
                          targets.
6342
      Eg:
6343
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6344
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6345
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6346
 
6347
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6348
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6349
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6350
 
6351
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6352
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6353
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6354
 
6355
 
6356
Minor changes:
6357
  * Label utility
6358
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6359
    build.pl file
6360
 
6361
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6362
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6363
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6364
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6365
    --FilterIn option.
6366
 
6367
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6368
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6369
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6370
 
6371
  * Location of descpkg file
6372
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6373
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6374
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6375
 
6376
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6377
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6378
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6379
Major changes:
6380
  * RunTest directive
6381
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6382
    Additional options
6383
      --CopyIn=file
6384
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6385
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6386
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6387
        the test area.
6388
 
6389
    Additional operations
6390
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6391
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6392
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6393
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6394
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6395
    Allows flags:
6396
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6397
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6398
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6399
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6400
 
6401
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6402
    existence is tested.
6403
 
6404
  * Packaging Directives
6405
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6406
    such as LMOS.
6407
 
6408
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6409
 
6410
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6411
 
6412
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6413
 
6414
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6415
 
6416
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6417
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6418
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6419
 
6420
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6421
 
6422
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6423
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6424
 
6425
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6426
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6427
 
6428
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6429
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6430
 
6431
Minor changes:
6432
  * Script directive
6433
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6434
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6435
 
6436
  * JATS environment
6437
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6438
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6439
    the JATS wrapper script.
6440
 
6441
  * Label utility
6442
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6443
    There are three modes of operation:
6444
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6445
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6446
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6447
 
6448
 
6449
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6450
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6452
Major changes:
6453
 
6454
Minor changes:
6455
  * label utility
6456
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6457
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6458
 
6459
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6460
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6461
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6462
      --ProgLoader=name
6463
 
6464
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6465
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6466
    Options to do this are:
6467
        --TreeDir=name
6468
        --FilterOut=regexp
6469
        --FilterIn=regexp
6470
        --StripDir
6471
 
6472
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6473
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6474
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6475
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6476
 
6477
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6478
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6479
 
6480
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6481
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6482
 
6483
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6484
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6485
 
6486
 
6487
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6488
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6489
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6490
Major changes:
6491
    * Make commands
6492
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6493
 
6494
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6495
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6496
 
6497
    * Label utility
6498
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6499
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6500
 
6501
Minor changes:
6502
    * Toolsets
6503
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6504
      variables and overrides.
6505
 
6506
      The make_init target is always run.
6507
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6508
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6509
 
6510
    * Deployment
6511
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6512
      with deployment operations.
6513
 
6514
    * Release utility
6515
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6516
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6517
      restricted by options within the build.
6518
 
6519
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6520
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6521
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6522
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6523
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6524
 
6525
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6526
      directives.
6527
 
6528
    * MakeProject directive
6529
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6530
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6531
 
6532
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6533
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6534
      is preserved.
6535
 
6536
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6537
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6538
      statements.
6539
 
6540
    * Mugfile generation
6541
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6542
      be placed in the target package.
6543
 
6544
 
6545
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6546
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6548
Major changes:
6549
    * BuildVersion directive
6550
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6551
      number as well as a patch number.
6552
 
6553
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6554
      number.
6555
 
6556
Minor changes:
6557
    * AddFlags directives
6558
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6559
      duplicate flags being added.
6560
 
6561
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6562
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6563
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6564
 
6565
    * Mug File Generation
6566
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6567
 
6568
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6569
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6570
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6571
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6572
     directory.
6573
 
6574
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6575
     reproducible.
6576
 
6577
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6578
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6579
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6580
Major changes:
6581
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6582
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6583
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6584
      longer a list of directories.
6585
 
6586
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6587
      done within the toolset.
6588
 
6589
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6590
 
6591
    * JATS environment variables
6592
      Redefined variable
6593
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6594
                          Previously was a list that included the
6595
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6596
 
6597
      New variable
6598
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6599
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6600
 
6601
 
6602
Minor changes:
6603
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6604
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6605
      target platforms to be extracted.
6606
 
6607
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6608
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6609
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6610
 
6611
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6612
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6613
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6614
 
6615
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6616
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6617
 
6618
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6619
      Support ANT based XML files
6620
 
6621
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6622
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6623
      structure.
6624
 
6625
    * makefile.pl's
6626
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6627
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6628
 
6629
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6630
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6631
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6632
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6633
 
6634
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6635
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6636
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6637
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6638
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6639
      -- Auto.
6640
 
6641
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6642
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6643
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6644
 
6645
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6646
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6647
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6648
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6649
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6650
 
6651
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6652
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6653
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6654
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6655
      installed on the machine.
6656
 
6657
    * WINCE Targets
6658
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6659
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6660
 
6661
 
6662
 
6663
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6664
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6665
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6666
Major changes:
6667
    * WIN32 platforms
6668
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6669
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6670
      and installed packages.
6671
 
6672
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6673
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6674
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6675
 
6676
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6677
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6678
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6679
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6680
      searched when looking for libraries.
6681
 
6682
Minor changes:
6683
    * GenerateFiles directive
6684
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6685
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6686
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6687
                          and drive letter
6688
 
6689
    * Src directive
6690
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6691
      directory of a package.
6692
 
6693
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6694
 
6695
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6696
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6697
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6698
 
6699
    * jats_rewrite utility
6700
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6701
 
6702
 
6703
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6704
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6705
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6706
Major changes:
6707
    * SunWorks production builds
6708
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6709
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6710
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6711
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6712
      compiler documentation.
6713
 
6714
    * MOS Toolset
6715
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6716
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6717
 
6718
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6719
 
6720
Minor changes:
6721
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6722
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6723
      This should not affect current users.
6724
 
6725
    * Mugfile generation
6726
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6727
      specified.
6728
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6729
 
6730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6731
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6732
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6733
Major changes:
6734
    MOS Toolset
6735
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6736
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6737
 
6738
Minor changes:
6739
    * Jats wrapper script
6740
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6741
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6742
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6743
 
6744
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6745
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6746
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6747
      may be suspect.
6748
 
6749
    * GenerateFiles directive
6750
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6751
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6752
 
6753
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6754
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6755
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6756
Major changes:
6757
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6758
      build.xml files.
6759
 
6760
Minor changes:
6761
    * WIN32 toolset.
6762
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6763
 
6764
    * MakeAnt
6765
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6766
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6767
 
6768
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6769
 
6770
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6771
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6772
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6773
 
6774
    * MakeAnt directive
6775
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6776
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6777
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6778
 
6779
      Recommended usage:
6780
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6781
 
6782
Internal Changes
6783
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6784

6787
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6788
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6789
Major changes:
6790
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6791
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6792
      files packaged into the release.
6793
 
6794
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6795
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6798
 
6799
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6800
      The recommended platform is:
6801
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6802
 
6803
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6804
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6805
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6806
      components.
6807
 
6808
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
6809

6812
 
6813
Minor changes:
6814
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6815
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6816
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6817
      by the package to be accessed.
6818
 
6819
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6820
      application or visual studio.
6821
 
6822
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6823
      and the JATS Core path.
6824
 
6825
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6826
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6827
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6828
 
6829
    * MOS Toolset
6830
      Add support for the TPT device
6831
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6832
 
6833
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6834
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6835
 
6836
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6837
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6838
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6839
 
6840
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6841
 
6842
Internal Changes
6843
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6844
      in jats.pl
6845
 
6846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6847
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6848
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6849
Major changes:
6850
    * JATS wrapper script
6851
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6852
 
6853
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6854
 
6855
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6856
 
6857
Minor changes:
6858
    * Deployment support
6859
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6860
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6861
 
6862
    * 'build'
6863
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6864
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6865
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6866
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6867
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6868
 
6869
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6870
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6871
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6872
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6873
                                      the link phase.
6874
 
6875
    * BuildPkgArchive
6876
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6877
      Previously these were ignored.
6878
      Minor code cleanup
6879
 
6880
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6881
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6882
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6883
 
6884
    * SOLARIS targets
6885
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6886
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6887
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6888
 
6889
    * MugFile generation
6890
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6891
      included in the final package.
6892
 
6893
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6894
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6895
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6896
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6897
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6898
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6899
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6900
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6901
 
6902
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6903
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6904
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6905
            --Option=(some_text)
6906
            --Option=[some_text]
6907
            --Option={some_text}
6908
 
6909
Internal Changes
6910
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6911
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6912
      code.
6913
 
6914
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6915
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6916
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6917
Major changes:
6918
    * JATS wrapper script
6919
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6920
 
6921
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6922
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6923
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6924
      other components.
6925
 
6926
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6927
 
6928
    * JATS
6929
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6930
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6931
 
6932
    * Build operations
6933
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6934
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6935
      packages.
6936
 
6937
    * Make operations
6938
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6939
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6940
 
6941
Minor changes:
6942
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6943
      deployment builds.
6944
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6945
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6946
 
6947
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6948
 
6949
    * build.pl
6950
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6951
        processed. Allows
6952
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6953
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6954
        production.
6955
 
6956
    * MOS toolset
6957
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6958
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6959
 
6960
    * create_dpkg utility
6961
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6962
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6963
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6964
      progress of the build.
6965
 
6966
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6967
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6968
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6969
      system.
6970
 
6971

Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6973
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6974
Major changes:
6975
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6976
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6977
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6978
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6979
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6980
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6981
 
6982
    * WCEX86A500 target
6983
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6984
 
6985
    * MOS Toolsets
6986
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6987
      the compiler.
6988
 
6989
    * RunTest directive
6990
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6991
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6992
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6993
 
6994
Minor changes:
6995
    * JATS BUILD
6996
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6997
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6998
      highlight bad settings.
6999
 
7000
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7001
      access to extensions.

7004
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7005
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7006
Major changes:
7007
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7008
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7009
 
7010
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7011
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7012
      under unix.
7013
 
7014
Minor changes:
7015
    * label utility
7016
      Added options to:
7017
        o Delete a label
7018
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7019
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7020
 
7021
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7022
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7023
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7024
      Package directives.
7025
 
7026
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7027
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7028
      system.
7029
 
7030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7031
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7032
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7033
Major changes:
7034
    * MOS Toolset
7035
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7036
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7037
 
7038
    * WIN32 Toolset
7039
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7040
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7041
      list.
7042
 
7043
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7044
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7045
 
7046
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7047
 
7048
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7049
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7050
 
7051
 
7052
Minor changes:
7053
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7054
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7055
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7056
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7057
      corrected.
7058
 
7059
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7060
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7061
 
7062
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7063
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7064
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7065

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7067
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7069
Major changes:
7070
    * WIN32 Toolset
7071
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7072
      use with multithreaded modes.
7073
 
7074
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7075
      --OnlyProd.
7076
 
7077
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7078
      within the makefile.pl.
7079
 
7080
Minor changes:
7081
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7082
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7083
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7084
      platforms.
7085
 
7086
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7087
 
7088
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7089
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7090
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7091
Major changes:
7092
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7093
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7094
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7095
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7096
 
7097
    * Preliminary Support
7098
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7099
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7100
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7101
 
7102
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7103
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7104
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7105
 
7106
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7107
      building. The default build will build both.
7108
 
7109
Minor changes:
7110
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7111
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7112
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7113
 
7114
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7115
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7116
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7117
 
7118
 
7119
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7120
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7121
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7122
Major changes:
7123
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7124
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7125
      or all.
7126
 
7127
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7128
      the library or program.
7129
 
7130
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7131
 
7132
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7133
      library or any debug files.
7134
 
7135
    * GenerateFiles
7136
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7137
 
7138
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7139
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7140
 
7141
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7142
              The filename of the prereq file
7143
 
7144
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7145
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7146
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7147
 
7148
 
7149
Minor changes:
7150
    * create_dpkg utility
7151
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7152
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7153
      the package has been altered.
7154

7158
Major changes:
7159
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7160
      This is a WINCE target
7161
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7162
 
7163
    * New toolset
7164
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7165
 
7166
    * Modified toolset
7167
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7168
 
7169
    * Modified toolset
7170
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7171
 
7172
Minor changes:
7173
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7174
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7175
 
7176
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7177
 
7178
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7179
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7180
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7181
 
7182
      The change allows the construct
7183
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7184
      to be replaced by the simpler
7185
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7186
 
7187
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7188
      specified name.    
7189

7208
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7209
Major changes:
7210
    * The "package.pl" file.
7211
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7212
      package name being taken from the build name
7213
 
7214
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7215
      package Build Name.
7216
 
7217
Minor changes:
7218
    * create_dpkg utility
7219
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7220
 
7221

7224
Major changes:
7225
 
7226
Minor changes:
7227
    * Dependancy generator
7228
      Correct two common situations
7229
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7230
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7231
           ansi, but is often done.
7232
 
7233
    * GCC toolset
7234
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7235
      being created in the correct place.
7236
 
7237
    * jats "label"
7238
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7239
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7240
 
7241
 
7242
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7243
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7244
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7245
Major changes:
7246
 
7247
Minor changes:
7248
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7249
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7250
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7251
 
7252
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7253
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7254
 
7255
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7256
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7257
      package was not being transferred.
7258
 
7259
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7260
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7262
Major changes:
7263
    * Support for solaris_i386
7264
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7265
      binaries for this target.
7266
 
7267
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7268
      with the GCC compiler.
7269
 
7270
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7271
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7272
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7273
 
7274
Minor changes:
7275
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7276
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7277
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7278
 
7279
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7280
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7281
 
7282
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7283
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7285
Major changes:
7286
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7287
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7288
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7289
 
7290
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7291
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7292
 
7293
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7294
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7295
      with either " or ' characters.
7296
 
7297
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7298
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7299
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7300
 
7301
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7302
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7303
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7304
 
7305
    * Jats wrapper
7306
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7307
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7308
      further commands.
7309
 
7310
Minor changes:
7311
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7312
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7313
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7314
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7315
 
7316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7317
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7319
Major changes:
7320
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7321
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7322
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7323
 
7324
      These options operation affect all components within the
7325
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7326
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7327
 
7328
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7329
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7330
 
7331
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7334
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7335
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7336
Major changes:
7337
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7338
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7339
 
7340
Minor changes:
7341
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7342
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7343
 
7344
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7345
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7346
 
7347
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7348
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7349
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7350
Major changes:
7351
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7352
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7353
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7354
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7355
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7356
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7357
      installed.
7358
 
7359
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7360
      libraries that depend on each other.
7361
 
7362
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7363
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7364
 
7365
Minor changes:
7366
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7367
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7368
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7369
 
7370
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7371
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7372
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7373
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7374
 
7375

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7378
Major changes:
7379
 
7380
Minor changes:
7381
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7382
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7383
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7384
      file.
7385
 
7386
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7387
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7388
 
7389
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7390
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7391
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7392
 
7393
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7394
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7395
 
7396
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7397
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7398
 
7399
    * WinCE toolsets
7400
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7401
      compiler specific libraries.
7402
 
7403
    * SOLARIS toolset
7404
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7405
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7406
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7407
 
7408
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7409
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7410
      cleaned up.
7411
 
7412
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7413
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7414
 
7415
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7416
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7417
      with either " or ' characters.
7418

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7421
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7422
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7423
Major changes:
7424
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7425
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7426
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7427
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7428
 
7429
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7430
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7431
 
7432
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7433
      user.
7434
 
7435
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7436
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7437
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7438
 
7439
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7440
      for the   -Gf option.
7441
 
7442
Minor changes:
7443
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7444
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7445
 
7446
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7447
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7448
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7449
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7450
 
7451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7452
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7454
Major changes:
7455
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7456
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7457
 
7458
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7459
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7460
      data addresses for the board.
7461
 
7462
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7463
 
7464
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7465
 
7466
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7467
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7468
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7469
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7470
         PackageFile
7471
 
7472
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7473
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7474
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7475
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7476
 
7477
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7478
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7479
      to be installed and packaged.
7480
 
7481
Minor changes:
7482
 
7483
    * cache_dpkg utility
7484
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7485
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7486
 
7487
    * label utility
7488
      New option -auto to create and label
7489
 
7490
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7491
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7492
 
7493
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7494
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7495
      directory. ie:
7496
 
7497
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7498
 
7499
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7500
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7501
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7502
 
7503
 
7504
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7505
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7506
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7507
Major changes:
7508
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7509
 
7510
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7511
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7512
 
7513
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7514
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7515
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7516
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7517
 
7518
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7519
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7520
      compilation.
7521
 
7522
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7523
 
7524
Minor changes:
7525
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7526
      one is being produced.
7527
 
7528
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7529
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7530
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7531
 
7532
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7533
 
7534
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7535
 
7536
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7537
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7538
 
7539
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7540
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7541
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7542
Major changes:
7543
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7544
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7545
 
7546
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7547
 
7548
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7549
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7550
      same directory
7551
 
7552
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7553
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7554
      documenattion.
7555
 
7556
Minor changes:
7557
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7558
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7559
 
7560
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7561
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7562
 
7563
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7564
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7565
 
7566
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7567
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7568
 
7569
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7570
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7571
      be exempt from this test.
7572
 
7573
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7574
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7575
 
7576
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7577
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7578
 
7579
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7580
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7581
      does.
7582
 
7583
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7584
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7585
 
7586
 
7587
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7588
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7589
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7590
Major changes:
7591
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7592
 
7593
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7594
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7595
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7596
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7597
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7598
 
7599
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7600
      operations.
7601
 
7602
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7603
 
7604
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7605
 
7606
Minor changes
7607
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7608
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7609
 
7610
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7611
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7612
      directory is not added to the library path.
7613
 
7614
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7615
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7616
 
7617
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7618
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7619
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7620
 
7621
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7622
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7623
      specific flags.
7624
 
7625
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7626
 
7627
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7628
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7629
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7630
 
7631
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7632
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7633
      JATS.
7634
 
7635
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7636
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7637
 
7638
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7639
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7640
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7641
 
7642
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7643
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7644
 
7645
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7646
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7647
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7648
 
7649
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7650
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7651
 
7652
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7653
 
7654
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7655
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7656
 
7657
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7658
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7659
      objects.
7660
 
7661
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7662
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7663
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7664
      build defendants.
