729
Minor changes:
730
    * New build Alias - NATIVE
731
      NATIVE is a set of platforms, in the current build, which build 
732
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
733
 
734
      The NATIVE alias has been created to simplify the support
735
      for automated unit tests.
736
 
4761 dpurdie 737
    * New build platform - UBUNTU12_INSTRUMENT
4728 dpurdie 738
      This build target is similar to UBUNTU12, except that it 
739
      generates instrumented code with gcov. The platform's unit tests 
740
      will create and maintain a set of lcov files.
741

4652 dpurdie 752
 
753
      Will add its own 'built' files to the package metadata file.
754
 
755
    * VS2012 Toolset

757
 
4688 dpurdie 758
    * EnvVars
759
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
760
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
761
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
762
 
763
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
764
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
765
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
766
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
767
 
768
    * Jats caching
769
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
770
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed
771
      up jats startup.

794
Minor changes:
795
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
796
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
797
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
798
 
799
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
800
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
801
 
802
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
803
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
804
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
805
 
806
    * Jats Internal: Database access
807

4036 dpurdie 1071
      Improved the process that creates symbolic links between a Shared
4034 dpurdie 1072
      Libraries 'RealName' and its 'soname' and 'link name'
1073
 
1074
      Added support for a compiler to be provided through a package.
1075
      Specifically implemented to allow Android
1076
 
1077
Minor changes:
1078
    * BuildName directive
1079
      Force '--RelaxedVersion' on COTS packages that have exactly 3 arguments.
1080
 
1081
    * Sandbox utility
4036 dpurdie 1082
      Fixed use of a 'buildfilter' file in the sandbox directory.

1093
Minor changes:
1094
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1095
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1096
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1097
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1098
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1099
 
1100
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1101
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

1108
Minor changes:
1109
    * Utility: update_release
1110
      Added options:
1111
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1112
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1113
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1114
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1115
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1116
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1117
 
1118
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1119
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
1120
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
1121
 
1122
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
1123
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

1127
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1128
Major changes:
1129
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1130
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1131
      intended to build deployed software.
1132
 
1133
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1134
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1135
 
1136
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1137
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1138
 
1139
Minor changes:
1140
    * Jats wrapper script
1141
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1142
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1143
      Subversion instance of the command.
1144
 
1145
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1146
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1147
 
1148
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1149
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1150
 
1151
    * Utility: jats upddep
1152
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1153
      file under windows.
1154
 
1155
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1156
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1157
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1158
 
1159
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1160
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1161
 
1162
    * GCC Toolchain
1163
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1179
Major changes:
1180
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1181
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1182
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1183
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1184
 
1185
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1186
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1196
Minor changes:
1197
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1198
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1199
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1200
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1201
      line.
1202
 
1203
    * Jats Configuration
1204
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1205
 
1206
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1207
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1208
      and Linux.
1209
 
1210
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1211
      correctly rippled.

1218
Minor changes:
1219
    * Jats Core
1220
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1221
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1222
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1223
 
1224
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1225
      Used only by the build daemons.
1226
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1227
 
1228
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1229
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1230
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

1235
Major changes:
1236
 
1237
Minor changes:
1238
    * svnrelease utility
1239
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1240
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1241
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1242
 
1243
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1244
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1245
      the named tag.
1246
 
1247
    * svnrelease utility
1248
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1249
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
1260
        covered by the makefile.
1261
 
1262
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1263
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1264
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1265
 
1266
    * ALL Toolsets
1267
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1268
 
1269
    * Utility vcsdiff
1270
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1271
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1272
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
1280
    * Subversion Extraction
1281
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1282
      directory of the tag.
1283
 
1284
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1285
      repository.
1286
 
1287
    * Subversion Support
1288
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1289
      showing the user what to do.
1290
 
1291
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1292
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1293
      we have build support for this target.
1294
 
1295
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1296
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1297
 
1298
Internal:
1299
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1300
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1301
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1302
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Minor changes:
1319
    * Makefile generation
1320
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1321
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1322
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1323
      of warnings.
1324
 
1325
    * Makefile Generation
1326
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1335
Major changes:
1336
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1337
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1338
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1339
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1340
 
1341
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1342
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1343
      windows path scheme.
1344
 
1345
Minor changes:
1346
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1347
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1348
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1349
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1350
 
1351
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1352
        jats make clobber
1353
      This operates as before.
1354
 
1355
    * Utility: escrow
1356
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1357
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1358
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1359
 
1360
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1361
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1362
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1363
 
1364
    * Utility: svn : url
1365
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1366
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1367
 
1368
    * Utility: svn : import
1369
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1370
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1371
 
1372
    * Subversion Support
1373
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1374
      showing the user what to do.
1375
 
1376
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1377
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1378
      repositories.

1383
 
1384
Minor changes:
1385
    * Jats build
1386
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1387
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1388
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1389
 
1390
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1391
      command, with a sandbox.

      Added two subcommands
1402
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1403
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1404
                 Can also display available branches.
1405
 
2054 dpurdie 1406
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
1412
 
1413
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1414
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1415
      Modified two options:
1416
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1417
                        The named branch must not exist
1418
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1419
                        The named branch must exist
1420
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
1430
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
1431

1454
 
1455
Major changes:
1456
    * Jats Version Number
1457
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
1458
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed

Major changes:
1472
    * Subversion support
1473
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
1474
      SubVersion. Changes include:
1475
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
1476
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1477
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1478
 
1479
Minor changes:
1480
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1481
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1482
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1483
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1484
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1485
 
1486
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1487
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1488
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1489
 
1490
    * Linux support utilities
1491
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
1492

1497
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1498
Major changes:
1499
    * Subversion Repository location
1500
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1501
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1502
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1503
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
1504
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1505
 
1506
Minor changes:
1507
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1508
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1509
 
1510
    * Utility: svnrelease
1511
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1512
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1513
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1514
 
1515
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1516
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1517
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1518
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1519
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1520
 
1521
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1522
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1523
 
1524
    * Utility: sandbox
1525
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
1526
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1527
 
1528
      Subcommand: populate
1529
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1530
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1531
      sandbox.
1532
 
1533
    * Subversion Support
1534
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1535
      repository is not supported.
1536
 
1537
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1538
      a progress indication.
1539
 
1540
    * Jats Online Documentation
1541
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1542
      online documentation.
1543
 
1544
    * Generated makefiles
1545
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1595
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
1596
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
1597
 
1598
    * New Platform: VIXITP

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1622
Major changes:
1623
 
1624
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1625
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1626
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1627
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1628
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1629
 
1630
    * C# Toolchain
1631
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

1641
 
1642
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
1643
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
1644
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1645
 
1646
    * Utility ccrelease
1647
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1648
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1649
 
1650
    * Utility: svn
1651
      Improved package import processing.
1652
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1680
Major changes:
1681
 
1682
Minor changes:
1683
    * Command: jats clobber
1684
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1685
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1686
 
1687
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1688
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1689
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1690
 
1691
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1692
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1693
 
377 dpurdie 1694
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1695
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1696
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1697
 
1698
    * jats svnlabel
1699
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1700
 
1701
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1702
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1703
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1704
 
1705
    * Built Daemon support
1706
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1707
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1708

373 dpurdie 1710
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
1711
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1712
Major changes:
1713
    * GCC Toolset
1714
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1715
      New methodology is:
1716
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1717
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1718
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1719
        as the main binary.
1720
 
1721
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1722
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1723
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1724
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1725
      both worlds.
1726
 
1727
Minor changes:
1728
    * HTML Documentation
1729
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1730

1734
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1739
Major changes:
1740
    * Jats Sandbox
1741
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1742
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1743
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1744
 
1745
    * RIORDS Platform
1746
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

1766
 
1767
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1768
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
1769
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1770
 
1771
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1772
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1773
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1774
      a vob.
1775
 
1776
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

1838
Minor changes:
1839

1840
      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
1841
      the clearcase label.
1842
 
1843
    * Subversion support
1844
      Report errors when required utilities cannot be found
1845
      Delay reporting until utilities are required to allow the help system

1850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1851
Major changes:
1852
    * New toolset: ARM251
1853
 
1854
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
1855
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
1856
 
1857
Minor changes:
1858
    * HTML Help
1859
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1860
 
1861
    * jats build -noforce
1862
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1863
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1864
      be forced.
1865
 
1866
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1867
 
1868
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1869
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1870
 
1871
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1872
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1873
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1874
 
1875
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1876
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1877
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1878
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1879
 
1880
    * Utility: svnrelease
1881
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1882
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1883
 
1884
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1885
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1886
 
1887
    * Utility: svn
1888
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1889
      installed and can be used.
1890
 
1891
    * Toolset: CSharp
1892
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1893
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1894
      character.
1895
 
1896
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1897
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1898
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1899
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1900
      masking an error.
1901
 
1902
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1903
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1904
      enhancement.

1911
        - Return correct path to package
1912
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1913
 
1914
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1915
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1916
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1917
 
1918
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1919
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1920
      packages.
1921
 
1922
    * make command: show
1923
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1924
      'jats make show' command.
1925
 
1926
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1927
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1928
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1929
 
1930
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1931
      executed on Unix machines.

      Basic support for the 'cache' command.
2229
      Allows external dependent packages to be cached for disconnected
2230
      development.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2235
Major changes:
2236
    * [DEVI-062103]
2237
      Many (11) toolsets - all that generate linker dependency
2238
      files for creating shared libraries or programs.
2239
        Solaris, Gcc, WIN32, Wince, MOS, Verix, Keil, AVR_IAR,
2240
        CSHARP, MCR, Pharlap.
2241
 
2242
      Better, simpler, and in some cases correct, generation
2243
      of dependency files used in linking. Also generate separate
2244
      files for Production and Debug builds.
2245
 
2246
Minor changes:
2247
    * Jats sandbox command
2248
      The 'info' subcommand will highlight external packages that cannot be
2249
      found in any of the the package archives.
2250
 
2251
    * Jats release -extract
2252
      The ClearCase view that is created will have a comment tag added that
2253
      describes:
2254
        - the directory in which the user created the view
2255
        - the date of creation
2256
 
2257
    * PackageFile directive
2258
      Now supports --NoRecurse and --Recurse in conjunction with --DirTree
2259
 
2260
Internal:
2261
    * PackageFile, PackageHdr and InstallHdr directives
2262
      Removed --Abs option - its not supported
2263

2268
Major changes:
2269
 
2270
Minor changes:
2271
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
2272
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
2273
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
2274
      resulting in multiple builds.
2275
 
2276
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
2277
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
2278
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
2279
 
2280
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
2281
 
2282
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2283
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
2284
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.
2285

331 dpurdie 2287
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
2288
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2289
Major changes:
2290
 
2291
Minor changes:
2292
    * Jats label command
2293
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2294
      Not recommended for general use.
2295
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2296
      directories within the current view.
2297
 
2298
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2299
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2300
      elsewhere.
2301
 
2302
    * Jats save_build
2303
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2304
      the determination of a branch.
2305
 
2306
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2307
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2308
 
2309
    * Jats build
2310
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2311
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2312
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2313
 
2314
    * Borland6 toolset
2315
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2316
      to match the documented install location of:
2317
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2318
 
2319
    * Jats build
2320
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2321
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2322
      This is a very quick operation.
2323
 
2324
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2325
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2326
 
2327
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2328
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2329
      files are only recreated if need be.
2330
 
2331
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2332
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2333
      make the package.
2334
 
2335
    * Jats sandbox
2336
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2337
 
2338
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2339
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2340
 
2341
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2342
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2343
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2344
      is performed.
2345
 
2346
Internal:
2347
    * build.pl
2348
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

2381
 
2382
Minor changes:
2383
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2384
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2385
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2386
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2387
 
2388
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2389
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2390
 
2391
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2392
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2393
      platform builds.
2394
 
2395
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2396
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2397
      directory tree.
2398
 
2399
    * New command: jats man
2400
      Produces full help on a specified item.
2401
 
2402
Internal changes:
2403
    * jats upddep
2404
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
2405
 
2406
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
2407
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined
2408
      Not yet in use.

Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
2412
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2413
Major changes:
2414
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2415
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2416
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2417
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2418
 
2419
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2420
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2421
 
2422
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2423
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2424
 
2425
      Examples:
2426
            jats upddep -show
2427
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2428
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2429
 
2430
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2431
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2432
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2433
 
2434
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2435
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2436
 
2437
Minor changes:
2438
 
2439
Internal changes:
2440
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
2441
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

2445
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2446
Major changes:
2447
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2448
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2449
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2450
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2451
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2452
      stream.
2453
 
2454
      Example:
2455
 
2456
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2457
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2458
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2459
                     );
2460
Minor changes:
2461
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2462
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2463
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2464
      directive.
2465
 
2466
    * GCC Toolkit
2467
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2468
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2469
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2470
      the point of termination.
2471
 
2472
    * Jats save_build utility
2473
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2474
      under windows.
2475
 
2476
    * Jats sandbox
2477
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2478
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2479
      in different sandboxes.
2480
 
2481
    * Jats release
2482
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2483
 
2484

2490
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2491
      Added -locatedir=name
2492
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2493
      directory.
2494
 
2495
    * jats label utility
2496
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2497
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2498
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2499
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2500
 
2501
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2502

317 dpurdie 2507
 
2508
Minor changes:
2509
    * WinCe Toolsets
2510
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2511
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2512
        noExceptions            - Disable
2513
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2514
      Example:
2515
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2516
 
2517
    * Solaris targets
2518
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2519
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2520
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2521
      machine type.
2522

2525
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2526
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2527
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2528
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2529
      project files.
2530
 
2531
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2532
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2533
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2534
 
2535
Minor changes:
2536
    * Added more internal documentation
2537
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2538
 
2539
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2540
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2541
 
2542
    * Jats save_build utility
2543
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2544
      under windows.
2545
 
2546
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2547
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2548
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2549
      libraries.
2550
 
2551
    * Solaris builds
2552
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2553
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2554
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2555
      of the build failure.
2556
 
2557
 
2558
Internal changes:
2559
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2560
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2561
 
2562
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2563
      PkgArchive topics.

    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2570
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2571
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2572
      existing 32-bit builds.
2573
 
2574
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

2579
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2580
 
2581
    * Package searching
2582
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2583
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2584
 
2585
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2586
 
2587
    * jats help
2588
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2589
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2590
 
2591
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2592
      with one of:
2593
        jats -h
2594
        jats help jats
2595
 
2596
Internal:
2597
    * cmdfile utility
2598
      Added macros:
2599
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2600
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2601
 
2602
      Corrected
2603
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)

Internal changes
2620
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2621
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2622
      Useful side effects include:
2623
 
2624
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2625
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2626
 
2627
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2628
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2629
 
2630
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2631
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2632
        BuildPkgArchive
2633
 
313 dpurdie 2634
    * Perl Modules
2635
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2636
      release. This will:
2637
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2638
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2639
          reported by ERG.
2640
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

2645
Major changes:
2646
 
2647
Minor changes:
2648
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2649
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2650
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2651
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2652
 
2653
    * Jats label utility
2654
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2655
 
2656
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2657
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2658
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2659
 
2660
    * Jats core
2661
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2662
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2663
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
2672
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2673
      This is now fixed.
2674
 
309 dpurdie 2675
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2676
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2677
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2678
 
2679
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2680
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
2689
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2690
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2691
      an error.
2692
 
2693
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2694
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2695
 
2696
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2697
      Highly specialized directive.

2703
Major changes:
2704
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2705
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2706
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2707
 
2708
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2709
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2710
 
2711
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2712
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2713
      Support includes
2714
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2715
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2716
 
2717
Minor changes:
2718
    * Build file processing
2719
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2720
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2721
 
2722
    * MOS builds
2723
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2724
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2725
 
2726
    * MOS builds
2727
      New 'known' product: PICP
2728
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2729
 
2730
    * GenerateFiles directive
2731
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2732
        under windows.
2733
 
2734
        .
2735
 
2736
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2737
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2738
 
2739
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2740
      to the output stream.
2741
 
2742
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2743
 
2744
    * Windows Shell
2745
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2746
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2747
 
2748
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2749
 
2750
    * H8S toolset
2751
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2752
 
2753
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2754
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2755
 
2756
Internal changes
2757
    * WinCe builds
2758
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2759
      content of the file.
2760
 
2761
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2762
 
2763
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2764
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

2776
Major changes:
2777
 
2778
Minor changes:
2779
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2780
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2781
      Changes are transparent to users.
2782
 
2783
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2784
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2785
      this occurs.
2786
 
2787
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2788
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2789
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2790
      automated build framework.
2791
 
2792
    * jats sandbox command
2793
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2794
      'create' command.
2795
 
2796
    * jats command aliases. Added
2797
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2798

2803
Major changes:
2804
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2805
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2806
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2807
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2808
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2809
      will work as expected
2810
 
2811
Minor changes:
2812
    * VS2008 Toolset
2813
      Picking up incorrect config details
2814
      May result in a warning message.
2815
 
2816
    * gen_cots utility
2817
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2818
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2819
 
2820
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2821
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2869
Major changes:
2870
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2871
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2872
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2873
 
2874
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2875
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2876
 
2877
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2878
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2879
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2880
           names cannot be changed.
2881
 
2882
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2883
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2884
 
2885
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2886
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2887
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2888
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2889
 
2890
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2891
      file.
2892
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2893
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2894
      MyPackage.dpk.
2895
 
2896
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2897
      file.
2898
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2899
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2900
      MyDll.dpr.
2901
 
2902
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2903
      file.
2904
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2905
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2906
      MyProg.dpr.
2907
 
2908
Minor changes:
2909
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2910
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2911
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2912
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2913
 
2914
    * BuildVersion directive
2915
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2916
      in a Delphi Unit.
2917
 
2918
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2919
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2920
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2921
      'know' the location of the files.
2922
 
2923
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2924
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2925
 
2926
Internal Changes:
2927
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2928
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2929
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2930
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2931
 
2932
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2933
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2934
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

2938
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2939
Major changes:
2940
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2941
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2942
      information for purely C++ builds.
2943
 
289 dpurdie 2944
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2945
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2946
 
289 dpurdie 2947
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2948
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2949
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2950
 
2951
Minor changes:
2952
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2953
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2954
 
2955
    * updatenodespec utility
2956
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2957

      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3003
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3004
 
3005
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3006
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

3011
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3012
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3013
 
279 dpurdie 3014
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3015
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3016
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3017
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3018
 
3019
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3020
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3021
 
3022
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3023
 
3024
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3025
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3026
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3027
 
3028
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3029
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3030
        processed.
3031
 
3032
      Removed the '-delete' option
3033
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3034
 
277 dpurdie 3035
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3036
    * Sandbox command
3037
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3038
 
3039
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3040
      target from consideration in the build set.
3041
 
3042
    * MCR Toolset
3043
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3044
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3045
 
3046
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3047
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3048
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3049
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3050
 
3051
    * Jats run_test command
3052
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3053
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3054
 
3055
    * descpkg file
3056
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3057
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3058
 
3059
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3060
     Now contains build trace information
3061
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3062
 
3063
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3064
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3065
     it contains 'jar' files.
3066
 
3067
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3068
 
3069
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3070
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3071
 
3072
   * BuildVersion directive
3073
     Form:
3074
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3075
     now works as expected.
3076
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3077
 
3078
Internal Changes:

3243
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3244
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3245
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

3268
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3269
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3270
 
3271
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
3396
 
3397
      Suggested new usage:
3398
        jats etool jats_save_build
3399
                        -pname=xxxx

3407
Minor changes:
3408
    * JATS make: Merge Library Operation [DEVI-049475]
3409
      Fixed such that Library Merge operations don't delete other build
3410
      artifacts.
3411
 
3412
    * JATS make: New option expert=0|1
3413
      Runtime processing of 'expert' mode to allow dependencies between the
3414
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
3415
 
3416
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
3417
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
3418
      time.
3419
 
3420
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
3421
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."
3422
 
3423
    * Nunit support in CSHARP
3424
      Improved support for different version of Nunit
3425
      Allow the DLLs that are required by nunit to be specified 
3426
      within the package.
3427
 
3428
    * Jats utility: dstatus
3429
      Suppresses archived releases.
3430
      Shows release state
3431

    * Build file directive: BuildPkgArchive
3433
      Extended list of supported directories to include 'wsdl'.
3434
 
3435
Internal Changes:
3436
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
3437
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3438
      Previously was being done at two places
3439
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3440
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3441
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
3442
 
3443
    * JATS make: Command line
3444
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
3445
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
3446
 
3447
      It didn't work on all platforms.
3448
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
3449
 
3450
    * JATS command line
3451
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
3452
      to allow:
3453
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
3454
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
3455
        + Consistent use of option parsing
3456
 
3457
    * JATS makefile generation
3458
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
3459
      Improved readability of the generation process
3460
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
3461
      Removed dead code
3462
      Improved the creation of Progs
3463
 
3464
    * JATS error reporting
3465
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
3466
      problems.
3467
 
3468
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG
3469
      environment variables where the 'tag' contains a space.
3470
 
3471
    * Assorted Perl files
3472
      Minor corrected after running Perl Syntax check over JATS files.
3473
 
3474
    * Made the use of IFLAGS uniform for all JATS toolsets
3475
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
3476
      makefiles
3477
 
3478
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
3479
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
3480
 
3481
    * FileUtils package.
3482
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
3483
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
3484
      Used functions within JATS.

Major changes:
3498
 
3499
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
3500
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3501
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3502
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3503
 
3504
Minor changes:
3505
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3506
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
3507
 
3508
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
3509
      some windows tools.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3514
Major changes:
3515
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
3516
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3517
 
3518
      New platforms:
3519
        CSHARP2005
3520
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3521
         Support extends to allow:
3522
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3523
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3524
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3525
 
3526
        VS2005
3527
         Support extends to allow:
3528
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3529
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3530
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3531
 
3532
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3533
      through a version selector:
3534
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3535
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3536
 
3537
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3538
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3539
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3540
 
3541
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3542
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3543
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3544
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3545
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3546
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3547
          under VS2005.
3548
 
3549
Minor changes:
3550
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
3551
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
3552
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
3553
 
3554
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3555
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3556
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3557
 
3558
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3559
 
3560
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3561
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3562
 
3563
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3564
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3565
      a minimal value of perl.
3566
 
3567
      Removed excessive require statements.
3568
 
3569
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3570
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3571
      Include JATS specific files for
3572
        1) Windows
3573
        2) Linux
3574
 
3575
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3576
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3577
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3578
      machines.
3579
 
3580
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3581
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3582
 
3583
    * JATS Environment
3584
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3585
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3586
 
3587
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3588
      wrapper scripts.
3589
 
3590
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3591
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3592
      Spell check help and code.

      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
3621
      was added.
3622
 
3623
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
3624
      reviewing a new package.
3625
 
3626
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3627
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
3628
      automatically included in the source file list.
3629
 
253 dpurdie 3630

Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
3644
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3645
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3646
  * New toolset and platform
3647
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3648
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3649
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3650
    this platform.
3651
 
3652
Minor changes:
3653
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3654
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3655
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3656
    work.
3657
 
3658
  * Jats utility: release
3659
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3660
    published to dpkg_archive.
3661
 
249 dpurdie 3662
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3663
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3664
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3665
    supported for ANT builds.
3666
 
3667
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3668
        releasemanager.releasename
3669
        releasemanager.projectname
3670
 
3671
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3672
    tagged data item of the form
3673
 
3674
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3675
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3676
 
3677
  * Mug File Generation
3678
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3679
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3680
 
3681
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3682
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3683
    required.
3684
 
3685
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3686
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3687
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3688
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3689
    the files in order to use them.
3690
 
3691
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3692
    locate the file.
3693
 
3694
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3695
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3696
 
3697
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3698
        * CSharp
3699
        * Properties
3700
        * WinRC
3701
 
3702
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3703
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3704
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3705
    Value is correctly assigned.
3706
 
3707

3708
Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
3709
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3710
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3711
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3712
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3713
 
3714
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3715
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3716
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3717
 
3718
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3719
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3720
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3721
 
3722
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3723
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3724
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3725
 
3726
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3727
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3728
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3729
    correct.
3730
 
3731
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3732
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3733
 
3734
Minor changes:
3735
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3736
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3737
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3738
 
3739
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3740
    This will simplify new user setup.
3741
 
3742
  * All Unix Toolsets
3743
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3744
    on unix systems
3745
 
3746
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3747
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3748
    on some Solaris Machines.
3749
 
3750
  * JATS -version=<version>
3751
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3752
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3753
 
3754

Major changes:
243 dpurdie 3758
    * New platform: WCEPSION_500_emu [DEVI-047234]
245 dpurdie 3759
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 3760
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
3761
 
3762
Minor changes:
3763
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
3764
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
3765
 
3766
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
3767
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets
3768
 
3769
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
3770
      Does not work with LMOS
3771
 
3772
    * Readme.txt file
3773
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
3774
 
3775
    * Misc Cleanup
3776
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

3805
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3806
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3807
                            SetList directive.

      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
3854
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
3855
 
3856
    * MOS Toolset
3857
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
3858

3910
    * MOS Compiler
3911
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3912
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3913
 
3914
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3915
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3916
      descpkg files to be copied.
3917
 
3918
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
3919
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

3953
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3954
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3955
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3956
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3957
 
3958
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3959
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3960
 
3961
    * Jats wrapper
3962
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3963
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3964

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3968
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3969
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3970
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3971
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3972
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3973
 
3974
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3975
 
3976
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3977
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3978
 
3979
    * Running Jats
3980
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3981
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3982
      This may affect some windows developers.
3983
 
3984
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3985
      Future versions will generate an error.
3986
 
3987
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3988
 
3989
Minor changes:
3990
    * Perl Version Check
3991
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3992
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3993
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3994
 
3995
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3996
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3997
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3998
      build.
3999
 
4000
    * Jats Internals
4001
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4002
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4003
 
4004
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4005
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4006
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4007
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4008
      process.
4009
 
4010
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4011
      Only works under Windows.
4012
 
4013
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4014
 
4015
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4016
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4017
 
4018
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4019
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4020
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4021
 
4022
    * Jats eprog
4023
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4024
      directory.
4025
 
4026
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4027
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4028
      build metrics.
4029

4033
Major changes:
4034
 
4035
Minor changes:
4036
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4037
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4038
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4039
      automated build system. New options are:
4040
        -pname=Package_Name
4041
        -pversion=Package_Version
4042
 
4043
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4044
      transferring the package. New options are:
4045
        -test
4046
 
4047
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4048
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4049
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4050
 
4051
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4052
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4053
 
4054
    * Solaris Toolset
4055
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4056
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4057
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4062
Major changes:
4063
 
4064
Minor changes:
4065
    * WINCE toolsets
4066
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4067
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4068
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4069
      when header files cannot be found.
4070
 
4071
    * GenerateFiles directive
4072
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4073
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4074
      that are difficult to solve.
4075
 
4076
    * MakePerlModule directive
4077
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4078
      to the the module builder.
4079
 
4080
    * Jats Tool: label
4081
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4082
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4083
      -dirs=xxx options.
4084
 
4085
    * Jats Tool: release
4086
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4087
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4088
 
4089
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4090
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4091
 
4092
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4093
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4094
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4095
 
4096
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4190
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4191
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4192
 
4193
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4194
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4195
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.

4201
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references

4210
Minor changes:
4211
    PackageLib directive
4212
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4213
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4214
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4215
 
4216
    MakefileGenerate directive
4217
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4218
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4219
 
4220
    Multiple Parent detection
4221
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4222
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4223
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4224
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4225
 
4226
    Solaris Toolset
4227
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4228
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4229
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4230
    link.
4231
 
4232
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4233
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4234
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4235
 
4236
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4237
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4238
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4239
    file.

Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
4243
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4244
Major changes:
4245
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4246
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4247
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4248
 
4249
    Summary of changes:
4250
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4251
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4252
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4253
          flexibility.
4254
 
4255
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4256
 
4257
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4258
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4259
          interface directory and associated build information.
4260
 
4261
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4262
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4263
          than one second.
4264
 
4265
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4266
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4267
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4268
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4269
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4270
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4271
 
4272
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4273
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4274
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4275
 
4276
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4277
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4278
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4279
          building them.
4280
 
4281
        - Detection of build file changes
4282
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4283
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4284
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4285
 
4286
        - Quieter make output
4287
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4288
 
4289
 
4290
Minor changes:
4291
    MakeAnt Directive
4292
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4293
 
4294
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4295
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4296
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4297
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4298
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4299
 
4300
    CSHARP toolset
4301
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories

4312
    MakeAnt
4313
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4314
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4315
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4316
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.

    New option: --PackageBase
4330
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4331
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4332
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4333
 
4334
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4335
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4336
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4337
        package image being created.

4357
 
4358
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4359
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4360
 
4361
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4362
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4363
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4364
 
4365
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4366
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4367
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4368

Minor changes:
4396
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4397
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4398
 
4399
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4400
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4401
      last.
4402
 
4403
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4404
 
4405
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4406
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4407
 
4408
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4409
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4410
 
4411
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4412
 
4413
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4414
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4415
 
4416
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4417
 
4418
 
4419
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4420
           with the --System option

4443
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4444
Major changes:
4445
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4446
 
4447
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4448
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4449
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4450
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4451
      path.
4452
 
4453
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4454
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4455
      reproducible.
4456
 
4457
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4458
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4459
 
4460
      There are several aspects to the change
4461
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4462
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4463
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4464
 
4465
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4466
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4467
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4468
          controlled separately.
4469
 
4470
Minor changes:
4471
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4472
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4473
        Remove duplicates
4474
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4475

Major changes:
4480
 
4481
Minor changes:
4482
    * Makefile sanity test
4483
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4484
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4485
 
4486
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4487
      x86 machine.
4488
 
4489
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4490
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4491

4493
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4494
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4495
Major changes:
4496
    * RunTest directive
4497
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4498
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4499
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4500
 
4501
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4502
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4503
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4504
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4505
 
4506
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4507
        builder within the current toolset.
4508
 
4509
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4510
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4511
 
4512
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4513
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4514
      containing the RunTest directive.
4515
 
4516
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4517
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4518
 
4519
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4520
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4521
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4522
 
4523
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4524
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4525
                            P or D suffix.
4526
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4527
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4528
 
4529
Minor changes:
4530
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4531
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4532
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4533
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4534
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4535
 
4536
    * Save Build Utility
4537
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4538
      used in a ripple build.
4539
 
4540
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4541
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4542
 
4543
    * Release Utility
4544
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4545
      when an error is encountered.
4546
 
4547
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4548
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4549
 
4550
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4551
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4552
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4553
 
4554
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4555
      before the makefiles are created.
4556
 
4557
    * TestProg directive
4558
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4559
 
4560
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4561
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.

Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
4565
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4566
Major changes:
4567
    * New build target
4568
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4569
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4570
 
4571
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4572
            DEVLINUX
4573
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4574
 
4575
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4576
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4577
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4578
 
4579
Minor changes:
4580
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4581
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4582
 
4583
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4584
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4585
 
4586
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4587
      and .cs files.

      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4590
      thing.
4591
 
4592
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4593
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4594
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4595
      were it places temp files.
4596
 
4597
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4598
      interaction with other builds.
4599
 
4600
    * Release utility command
4601
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4602
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4603
      component in the clearcase tag name.

4651
Major changes:
4652
 
4653
Minor changes:
4654
  * WINCE Support
4655
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4656
 
4657
  * Removed the following targets
4658
        TP5600
4659
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4660
        TP5600_EMU
4661
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4662
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4663
 
4664
  * Deployment
4665
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4666
 
4667
  * build.pl
4668
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4669
 
4670
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4671
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4672
 
4673
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4674
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4675
    build.
4676
 
4677
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4678
 
4679
  * Tool: escrow
4680
     New features
4681
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4682
     are not in the SBOM.
4683
 
4684
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4685
 
4686
     Specify packages to be ignored.
4687

4690
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
4691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4692
Major changes:
4693
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4694
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4695
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4696
 
4697
  * GenerateFiles
4698
    Added the options:
4699
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4700
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4701
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4702
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4703
 
4704
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4705
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4706
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4707
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4708
                                  required.
4709
 
4710
 
4711
Minor changes:
4712
  * GenerateFile directive
4713
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4714
 
4715
  * GCC Toolset
4716
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4717
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4718
    be rebuilt.
4719
 
4720
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4721
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4722
 
4723
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4724
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4725
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4726
Major changes:
4727
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4728
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4729
    environment variables.
4730
 
4731
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4732
            moved.
4733
 
4734
    This will affect users that:
4735
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4736
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4737
 
4738
        2) Use the ABT system
4739
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4740
           the required configuration
4741
 
4742
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4743
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4744
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4745
    Windows
4746
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 4747
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
4748
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4749
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 4750
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 4751
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
4752
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4753
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 4754
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4755
 
4756
 
4757
  * New build platforms
4758
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4759
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4760
 
4761
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4762
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4763
 
4764
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4765
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4766
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4767
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4768
 
4769
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4770
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4771
    release.
4772
 
4773
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4774
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4775
 
4776
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4777
    need to be converted.
4778
 
4779
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4780
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4781
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4782
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4783
    used for different targets platforms.
4784
 
4785
  * Sandbox support
4786
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4787
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4788
 
4789
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4790
 
4791
Minor changes:
4792
 
4793
 
4794
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4795
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4797
Major changes:
4798
  * MakeAnt directive
4799
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4800
 
4801
    New options
4802
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4803
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4804
 
4805
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4806
    run_unit_tests phase.
4807
 
4808
  * Sandbox support
4809
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4810
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4811
 
4812
Minor changes:
4813
  * jats build
4814
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4815
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4816
 
4817
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4818
 
4819
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4820
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4821
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4822
 
4823
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4824
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4825
 
4826
  * JATS.BAT
4827
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4828
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4829
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4830
 
4831
  * jats label
4832
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4833
 
4834
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4835
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4837
Major changes:
4838
  * New build platform:
4839
        LMOS_TP5600
4840
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4841
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4842
 
4843
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4844
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4845
    describe the group of platforms.
4846
 
4847
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4848
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4849
    build these targets.
4850
 
4851
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4852
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4853
 
4854
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4855
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4856
 
4857
  * New build platform: WINCE
4858
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4859
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4860
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4861
 
4862
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4863
            WCEIT3000
4864
            WCEPA961
4865
            WCEPA962
4866
            WCEPCM7220
4867
            WCEPSION_420
4868
            WCEPSPC_arm
4869
            WCEPSPC_emu
4870
            WCEX86A420
4871
            WCEX86A500
4872
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4873
 
4874
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4875
 
4876
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4877
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4878
    that contain packaging directives.
4879
 
4880
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4881
    very unusual configurations.
4882
 
4883
Minor changes:
4884
  * Directive: PackageFile
4885
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4886
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4887
    an '='.
4888
 
4889
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4890
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4891
 
4892
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4893
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4894
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4895
 
4896
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4897
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4898
 
4899
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4900
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4901
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4902
Major changes:
4903
 
4904
  * JATS release command
4905
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4906
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4907
 
4908
    Rules are:
4909
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4910
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4911
                            File will be placed on a branch
4912
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4913
                            New directory will branch
4914
 
4915
Minor changes:
4916
  * JATS release command
4917
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4918
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4919
 
4920
  * JATS label command
4921
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4922
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4923
 
4924
  * JATS make
4925
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4926
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4927
    was re-packaged.
4928
 
4929
  * JATS escrow
4930
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4931
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4932
 
4933
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4934
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4935
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4936
 
4937
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4938
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4939
    interface directory.
4940
 
4941
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4942
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4943
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4944
    directory as seen by the package.
4945
 
4946
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4947
 
4948
  * JAVA 6
4949
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4950
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4951
 
4952
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4953
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4954
 
4955
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4956
 
4957
  * Jats command: vars
4958
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4959
    These indicate potential problems.
4960
 
4961

4962
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4964
Major changes:
4965
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4966
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4967
    libarry is also created.
4968
 
4969
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4970
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4971
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4972
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4973
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4974
    information contained within the file.
4975
 
4976
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4977
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4978
 
4979
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4980
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4981
 
4982
  * Building Perl Modules
4983
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4984
    documentation on the build machine.
4985
 
4986
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4987
 
4988
Minor changes:
4989
  * jats create_dpkg
4990
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4991
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4992
 
4993
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4994
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4995
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4996
Major changes:
4997
  * JATS JAVA build target
4998
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4999
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5000
 
5001
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5002
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5003
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5004
    is then picked up as the default version.
5005
 
5006
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5007
    build.pl file.
5008
 
5009
Minor changes:
5010
  * jats release
5011
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5012
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5013
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5014
 
5015
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5016
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5017
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5018
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5019
    the name of the view.
5020
 
5021
  * GenerateFiles directive
5022
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5023
 
5024
  * MOS Toolset
5025
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5026
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5027
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5028
 
5029
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5030
 
5031
 
5032
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5033
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5035
Major changes:
5036
 
5037
Minor changes:
5038
  * JATS environment
5039
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5040
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5041
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5042
 
5043
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5044
 
5045
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5046
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5047
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5048
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5049
    to be packaged.
5050
 
5051
  * Generated makefiles
5052
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5053
 
5054
  * Generating MOS THX files
5055
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5056
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5057
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5058
 
5059
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5060
 
5061
  * JATS release
5062
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5063
 
5064
  * JATS extract
5065
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5066
 
5067
  * JATS Toolset
5068
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5069
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5070

5074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5075
Major changes:
5076
 
5077
Minor changes:
5078
  * jats label
5079
    Added a -vob=name option
5080
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5081
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5082
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5083
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5084
 
5085
    Added a -user=name option
5086
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5087
    label to the named user.
5088
 
5089
  * jats release
5090
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5091
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5092
 
5093
  * JATS build.pl
5094
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5095
    ie:
5096
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5097

5100
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5101
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5102
Major changes:
5103
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5104
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5105
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5106
    the makefile internals. ie:
5107
        --Var(BuildName)
5108
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5109
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5110
 
5111
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5112
 
5113
  * GenerateFiles
5114
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5115
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5116
 
5117
  * BuildPlatforms
5118
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5119
 
5120
Minor changes:
5121
  * GCC Toolset
5122
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5123
 
5124
Internal changes:
5125
  * GenerateFiles
5126
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5127
 
5128
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5129
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5130
 
5131
 
5132
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5133
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5135
Major changes:
5136
  * Caching JATS
5137
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5138
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5139
 
5140
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5141
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5142
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5143
 
5144
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5145
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5146
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5147
 
5148
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5149
 
5150
Minor changes:
5151
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5152
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5153
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5154
 
5155
  * jats build
5156
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5157
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5158
    processed by the build.
5159
 
5160
  * jats build
5161
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5162
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5163
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5164
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5165
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5166
 
5167
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5168
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5169
    Path is not specified.
5170
 
5171
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5172
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5173
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5174
        --Dir=$Pinc
5175
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5176
 
5177
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5178
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5179
    Windows platform.
5180
 
5181
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5182
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5183
            by 'purecov.
5184
 
5185
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5186
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5187
 
5188
        - OPTIONS=purify
5189
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5190
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5191
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5192

5196
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5197
Major changes:
5198
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5199
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5200
    Example:
5201
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5202
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5203
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5204
 
5205
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5206
    been determined.
5207
 
5208
Minor changes:
5209
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5210
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5211
    located at build-time.
5212
 
5213
  * Unix based systems
5214
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5215
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5216
 
5217
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5218
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5219
    driver being built.
5220
 
5221

5227
 
5228
Minor changes:
5229
  * jats_rewrite tool
5230
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
5231
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
5232
 
5233
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5234
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5235
 
5236
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5237
    dependancy information within a package.
5238
 
5239
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5240
    messages.

5245
Major changes:
5246
  * makefile.pl directives
5247
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
5248
 
5249
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5250
 
5251
    GenerateFiles.
5252
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5253
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5254
                      be run on every invocation.
5255
 
5256
 
5257
Minor changes:
5258
  * Added the jats version command
5259
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
5260
 
5261
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
5262
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5263
  There are two mechanism:
5264
 
5265
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5266
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5267
 
5268
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5269
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5270
 
5271
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5272
  default.
5273
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5274
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
5275

5278
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5279
Major changes:
5280
  * SunWorks Toolset
5281
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5282
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5283
    It is based on machine type.
5284
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5285
 
5286
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5287
 
5288
Minor changes:
5289
  * Perl DBI interface
5290
    Removed the message showing database connection
5291
 
5292
  * JATS internal library
5293
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
5294
 
5295

5297
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5298
Major changes:
5299
  * GCC Toolset
5300
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
5301
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
5302
    Removed the use of `uname`.
5303
 
5304
  * Added platforms
5305
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
5306
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5307
    TP5600_EMU
5308
 
5309
Minor changes:
5310
  * descpkg file reader
5311
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
5312
    field separator.
5313
 
5314
  * JATS eprog command
5315
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5316
 
5317
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5318
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5319
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5320
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5321
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5322
 
5323
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5324
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5325
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5326
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5327
 
5328
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5329
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

5336
 
5337
  * GCC Toolset (Shared Library Generation)
5338
    Added option --Def=file_name to the shared library definitions
5339
 
5340
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
5341
 
5342
 
5343
Minor changes:
5344
  * JATS wrapper script
5345
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5346
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5347
    to setup links to system programs.
5348

Version: JATS_2.57.0                                Released: 12-Sep-06
5366
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5367
Major changes:
5368
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5369
    Added CompileOptions
5370
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5371
        no_misalign         - Default
5372
 
5373
        multithread         - Default
5374
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
5375
 
5376
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5377
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
5378
 
5379
        prod_no_optimise
5380
        prod_no_debuginfo
5381
        prod_optimise
5382
        prod_debuginfo
5383
 
5384
        debug_no_optimise

        debug_debuginfo
5388
 
5389
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5390
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5391
    Theses are:
5392
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5393
        SOLARIS_AMD
5394
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5395
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5396
 
5397
Minor changes:
5398
  * AT3232 toolset
5399
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
5400
 
5401

Version: JATS_2.56.3                                Released: 04-Sep-06
5407
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5408
Major changes:
5409
 
5410
Minor changes:
5411
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5412
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5413
    messages
5414
 
5415
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5416
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5417
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5418
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5419
 
5420
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5421
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
5422
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5423
Major changes:
5424
 
5425
Minor changes:
5426
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5427
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5428
    library without creating the body of the library:
5429
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5430
 
5431
 
5432
  * MOS toolsets
5433
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5434
    library without creating the body of the library:
5435
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5436
 
5437
  * JATS BIN directories
5438
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5439
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5440
    using autoconf.
5441
 
5442
  * Generate directive
5443
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5444
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5445
 
5446
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5447
 
5448
 
5449
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5450
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5452
Major changes:
5453
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5454
    Initial release.
5455
 
5456
Minor changes:
5457
 
5458
 
5459
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5460
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5462
Major changes:
5463
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5464
    Initial release.
5465
 
5466
  * Packaging directives
5467
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5468
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5469
 
5470
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5471
        SOLARIS
5472
        WIN32
5473
 
5474
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5475
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5476
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5477
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5478
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5479
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5480
 
5481
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5482
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5483
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5484
 
5485
 
5486
Minor changes:
5487
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5488
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5489
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5490
 
5491
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5492
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5493
    location
5494
 
5495
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5496
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5497
 
5498
  * Utility genrc
5499
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5500
 
5501
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5502
    Added option: -new
5503
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5504
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5505
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5506
 
5507
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5508
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5509
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5510
 
5511
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5512
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5513
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5514
 
5515
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5516
   features - in a uniform manner.
5517
 
5518
 
5519
Internal Changes:
5520
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5521
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5522
 
5523
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5524
        1) Platform information available at build time
5525
        2) Dynamic platform names
5526
 
5527
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5528
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5529
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5530
 
5531
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5532
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5533
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5534
 
5535
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5536
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5537
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5538
    needed.
5539
 
5540
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5541
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5542
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5543
    files from all of these.
5544

5546
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
5547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5548
Major changes:
5549
 
5550
Minor changes:
5551
  * WinCE toolset
5552
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
5553
 
5554
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5555
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5556
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5557
Major changes:
5558
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5559
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5560
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5561
 
5562
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5563
 
5564
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5565
    the operations.
5566
 
5567
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5568
 
5569
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5570
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5571
 
5572
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5573
 
5574
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5575
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5576
 
5577
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5578
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5579
    Extended the built-in help
5580
    Added useful error messages
5581
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5582
 
5583
  * WinCE toolset
5584
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5585
 
5586
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5587
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5588
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5589
 
5590
Minor changes:
5591
  * JATS wrapper script
5592
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5593
    the command line.
5594
 
5595
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5596
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5597
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5598
 
5599
Internal Changes:
5600
  * Common Error Reporting
5601
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5602
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5603
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5604
    level.
5605
 
5606
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5607
    displayed.
5608
 
5609
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5610
 
5611
  * Added JatsSystem module
5612
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5613
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5614
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
5615
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5616
Major changes:
5617
 
5618
Minor changes:
5619
  * BR Compiler toolset
5620
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5621
    .def files to include other files.
5622
 
5623
  * IAR toolset
5624
    Added AT7272 support
5625
 
5626
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5627
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5628
 
5629
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5630
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
5631
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5632
Major changes:
5633
 
5634
Minor changes:
5635
  * BR Compiler toolset
5636
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5637
    use.
5638
 
5639
 
5640
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5641
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5642
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5643
Major changes:
5644
 
5645
Minor changes:
5646
  * Mictotec toolset
5647
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5648
    builds.
5649
 
5650
  * JATS Core
5651
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5652
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5653
    behaviour.
5654
 
5655
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5656
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5658
Major changes:
5659
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5660
    Deployment package will be affected.
5661
 
5662
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5663
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5664
 
5665
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5666
 
5667
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5668
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5669
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5670
    packages.
5671
 
5672
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5673
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5674
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5675
 
5676
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5677
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5678
 
5679
Minor changes:
5680
  * SubDir directive
5681
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5682
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5683
 
5684
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5685
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5686
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5687
    of the file usage.
5688
 
5689
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5690
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5691
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5692
 
5693
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5694
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5695
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5696
 
5697
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5698
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5699
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5700
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5701
 
5702
 
5703
Internal Changes:
5704
  * Code refactor
5705
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5706
 
5707
  * Deployment utilities
5708
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5709
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5710
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5711
    the module can locate the file.
5712
 
5713
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5714
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5715
 
5716
  * JATS core
5717
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5718
 
5719
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5720
 
5721
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5722
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5723
    through the use of environment variables.
5724
 
5725
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5726
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5727
 
5728
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5729
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5730
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5731
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5732
 
5733
  * Make environment
5734
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5735
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5736
 
5737
 
5738
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5739
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5741
Major changes:
5742
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5743
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5744
 
5745
 
5746
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5747
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5748
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5749
 
5750
Not Released.
5751
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5752
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5753
 
5754
 
5755
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5756
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5757
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5758
Major changes:
5759
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5760
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5761
    radically replaced.
5762
 
5763
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5764
    Usage:
5765
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5766
 
5767
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5768
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5769
    this solution:
5770
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5771
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5772
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5773
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5774
 
5775
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5776
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5777
    order to work.
5778
 
5779
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5780
    reduced functionality.
5781
 
5782
 
5783
Minor changes:
5784
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5785
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5786
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5787
 
5788
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5789
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5790
    within the makefiles.
5791
        Options:
5792
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5793
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5794
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5795
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5796
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5797
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5798
        Useage:
5799
 
5800
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5801
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5802
 
5803
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5804
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5805
    is not in the current directory.
5806
 
5807
  * Jats Command: ant'
5808
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5809
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5810
 
5811
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5812
 
5813
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5814
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5815
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5816
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5817
 
5818
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5819
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5820
    Thus
5821
 
5822
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5823
 
5824
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5825

Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5830
Major changes:
5831
 
5832
Minor changes:
5833
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5834
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5835
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5836
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5837
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5838
 
5839
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5840
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5841
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5842
 
5843
Internal changes:
5844
  * JATS toolsets
5845
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5846
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5847
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5848
 
5849
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5850
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5851
 
5852
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5853
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5854
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5855
Major changes:
5856
  * Jats command: etool
5857
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5858
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5859
 
5860
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5861
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5862
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5863
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5864
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5865
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5866
 
5867
Minor changes:
5868
 
5869
 
5870
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5871
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5872
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5873
Major changes:
5874
  * JATS environment variables
5875
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5876
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5877
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5878
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5879
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5880
 
5881
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5882
              Remote repository
5883
 
5884
    Added GBE_DPLY
5885
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5886
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5887
 
5888
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5889
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5890
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5891
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5892
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5893
 
5894
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5895
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5896
 
5897
 
5898
Minor changes:
5899
  * JATS utility: build
5900
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5901
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5902
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5903
 
5904
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5905
    Ensure label is not locked
5906
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5907
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5908
 
5909
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5910
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5911
    to a specific type of build.
5912
 
5913
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5914
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5915
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5916
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5917
 
5918
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5919
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5920
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5921
 
5922
  * JATS utility: release
5923
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5924
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5925
 
5926
  * JATS utility: label
5927
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5928
    when it is being created.
5929
 
5930
Internal Changes
5931
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5932
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5933
 
5934
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5935
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5936
 
5937
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5938
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5939
    different results.
5940
 
5941
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5942
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5943
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5944
 
5945
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5946
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5947
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5948
Major changes:
5949
 
5950
  * MCR toolset
5951
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5952
 
5953
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5954
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5955
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5956
Major changes:
5957
  * WIN32 utilities
5958
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5959
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5960
 
5961
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5962
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5963
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5964
 
5965
Minor changes:
5966
  * BuildVersion
5967
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5968
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5969
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5970
 
5971
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5972
 
5973
  * Unix Builds
5974
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5975
    library or a shared library.
5976
 
5977
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5978
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5979
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5980
    start with 'lib'.
5981
 
5982
  * BuildPkgArchive
5983
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5984
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5985
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5986
 
5987
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5988
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5989
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5990
Major changes:
5991
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5992
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5993
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5994
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5995
    being manually maintained.
5996
 
5997
 
5998
Minor changes:
5999
  * MakeAnt directive
6000
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
6001
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
6002
    supports ANT builds.
6003
 
6004
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6005
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
6006
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
6007
 
6008
  * Label utility
6009
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
6010
    files to be labeled.
6011
 
6012
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
6013
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
6014
    on Solaris.
6015
 
6016
  * Generated makefiles
6017
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
6018
    nothing.
6019
 
6020
  * MOS Toolset
6021
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
6022
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
6023
    modules.
6024
 
6025
  * Utility: gen_cots
6026
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
6027
    and then check it in under clearcase.
6028
 
6029
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
6030
 
6031
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
6032
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
6033
 
6034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6035
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
6036
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6037
Major changes:
6038
  None
6039
 
6040
Minor changes:
6041
  * DEVI addressed
6042
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6043
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6044
 
6045
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6046
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6047
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6048
 
6049
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6050
 
6051
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6052
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6053
 
6054
  * RunTest directive
6055
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6056
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6057
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6058
 
6059
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6060
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6061
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6062
    packaged under JATS
6063
 
6064
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6065
          supported within JATS.
6066
 
6067
  * Jats utility wrapper
6068
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6069
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6070
 
6071
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6072
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6073
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6074
 
6075
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6076
    Eg: jats ant
6077
 
6078
  * Jats utility wrapper
6079
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6080
 
5710 dpurdie 6081
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6082
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6083
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6084
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6085
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6086
 
5710 dpurdie 6087
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6088
    expect a build.pl file.
6089
 
6090
  * Jats utility wrapper
6091
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6092
 
6093
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6094
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6095
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6096
 
6097
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6098
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6099
 
6100
  * Build files
6101
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6102
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6103
 
6104

6105
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6106
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6107
Major changes:
6108
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6109
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6110
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6111
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6112
 
6113
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6114
 
6115
Minor changes:
6116
  * None
6117
 
6118
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6119
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6120
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6121
Major changes:
6122
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6123
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6124
    ie:
6125
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6126
 
6127
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6128
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6129
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6130
    environments are compatible.
6131
 
6132
 
6133
Minor changes:
6134
  * BuildName option
6135
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6136
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6137
 
6138
  * jats.bat
6139
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6140
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6141
 
6142
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6143
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6144
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6145
Major changes:
6146
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6147
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6148
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6149
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6150
 
6151
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6152
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6153
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6154
 
6155
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6156
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6157
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6158
 
6159
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6160
    transferred.
6161
 
6162
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6163
    See notes below.
6164
 
6165
  * WIN32 toolset
6166
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6167
    correctly.
6168
 
6169
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6170
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6171
 
6172
  * BuildVersion
6173
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6174
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6175
    other langauges as needed.
6176
 
6177
 
6178
Minor changes:
6179
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6180
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6181
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6182
    version strings.
6183
 
6184
  * GenerateFiles directive
6185
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6186
    package or an imported package.
6187
 
6188
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6189
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6190
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6191
 
6192
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6193
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6194
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6195
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6196
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6197
 
6198
Internal Changes
6199
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6200
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6201
    of utilities.
6202
 
6203
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6204
    functions.
6205
 
6206
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6207
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6208
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6209
Major changes:
6210
  * Generated makefiles
6211
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6212
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6213
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6214
 
6215
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6216
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6217
    incorrectly processing:
6218
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6219
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6220
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6221
    confused.
6222
 
6223
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6224
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6225
    The construct
6226
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6227
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6228
    then it works.
6229
 
6230
  * MakeAnt directive
6231
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6232
 
6233
    This option has the following effects
6234
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6235
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6236
 
6237
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6238
           early - in the generated files phase.
6239
 
6240
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6241
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6242
 
6243
 
6244
Minor changes:
6245
  * JATS post-installation script
6246
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6247
 
6248
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6249
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6250
    windows.
6251
 
6252
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6253
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6254
 
6255
  * Jats wrapper script
6256
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6257
        1) Contain spaces
6258
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6259
 
6260
  * Toolset
6261
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6262
 
6263
  * JAVA toolset
6264
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6265
    directive:
6266
 
6267
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6268
 
6269
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6270
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6271
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6272
 
6273
  * GCC Toolset
6274
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6275
 
6276
  * Makefile generation
6277
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6278
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6279
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6280
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6281
    package could not be used.
6282
 
6283
  * Unit Tests
6284
    The following environment variables are set:
6285
 
6286
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6287
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6288
 
6289
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6290
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6291
 
6292
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6293
 
6294
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6295
 
6296
 
6297
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6298
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6299
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6300
Major changes:
6301
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6302
 
6303
    Special features of this toolset.
6304
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6305
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6306
       incorporated within the target image.
6307
 
6308
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6309
       --Set=Name=Value
6310
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6311
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6312
 
6313
       --Ref=name
6314
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6315
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6316
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6317
                will be taken from the build version number.
6318
 
6319
Minor changes:
6320
  * MOS Toolset
6321
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6322
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6323
    packaged.
6324
 
6325
  * Src directive
6326
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6327
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6328
    specifier.
6329
 
6330
  * WIN32 runtime support
6331
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6332
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6333
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6334
 
6335
Internal:
6336
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6337
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6338
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6339
 
6340
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6341
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6342
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6343
Major changes:
6344
    * BuildAlias directive
6345
      Added options.
6346
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6347
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6348
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6349
                          targets.
6350
      Eg:
6351
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6352
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6353
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6354
 
6355
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6356
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6357
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6358
 
6359
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6360
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6361
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6362
 
6363
 
6364
Minor changes:
6365
  * Label utility
6366
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6367
    build.pl file
6368
 
6369
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6370
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6371
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6372
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6373
    --FilterIn option.
6374
 
6375
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6376
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6377
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6378
 
6379
  * Location of descpkg file
6380
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6381
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6382
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6383
 
6384
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6385
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6386
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6387
Major changes:
6388
  * RunTest directive
6389
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6390
    Additional options
6391
      --CopyIn=file
6392
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6393
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6394
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6395
        the test area.
6396
 
6397
    Additional operations
6398
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6399
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6400
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6401
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6402
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6403
    Allows flags:
6404
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6405
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6406
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6407
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6408
 
6409
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6410
    existence is tested.
6411
 
6412
  * Packaging Directives
6413
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6414
    such as LMOS.
6415
 
6416
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6417
 
6418
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6419
 
6420
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6421
 
6422
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6423
 
6424
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6425
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6426
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6427
 
6428
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6429
 
6430
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6431
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6432
 
6433
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6434
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6435
 
6436
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6437
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6438
 
6439
Minor changes:
6440
  * Script directive
6441
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6442
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6443
 
6444
  * JATS environment
6445
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6446
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6447
    the JATS wrapper script.
6448
 
6449
  * Label utility
6450
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6451
    There are three modes of operation:
6452
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6453
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6454
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6455
 
6456
 
6457
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6458
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6459
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6460
Major changes:
6461
 
6462
Minor changes:
6463
  * label utility
6464
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6465
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6466
 
6467
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6468
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6469
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6470
      --ProgLoader=name
6471
 
6472
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6473
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6474
    Options to do this are:
6475
        --TreeDir=name
6476
        --FilterOut=regexp
6477
        --FilterIn=regexp
6478
        --StripDir
6479
 
6480
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6481
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6482
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6483
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6484
 
6485
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6486
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6487
 
6488
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6489
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6490
 
6491
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6492
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6493
 
6494
 
6495
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6496
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6497
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6498
Major changes:
6499
    * Make commands
6500
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6501
 
6502
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6503
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6504
 
6505
    * Label utility
6506
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6507
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6508
 
6509
Minor changes:
6510
    * Toolsets
6511
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6512
      variables and overrides.
6513
 
6514
      The make_init target is always run.
6515
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6516
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6517
 
6518
    * Deployment
6519
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6520
      with deployment operations.
6521
 
6522
    * Release utility
6523
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6524
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6525
      restricted by options within the build.
6526
 
6527
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6528
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6529
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6530
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6531
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6532
 
6533
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6534
      directives.
6535
 
6536
    * MakeProject directive
6537
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6538
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6539
 
6540
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6541
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6542
      is preserved.
6543
 
6544
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6545
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6546
      statements.
6547
 
6548
    * Mugfile generation
6549
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6550
      be placed in the target package.
6551
 
6552
 
6553
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6554
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6555
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6556
Major changes:
6557
    * BuildVersion directive
6558
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6559
      number as well as a patch number.
6560
 
6561
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6562
      number.
6563
 
6564
Minor changes:
6565
    * AddFlags directives
6566
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6567
      duplicate flags being added.
6568
 
6569
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6570
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6571
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6572
 
6573
    * Mug File Generation
6574
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6575
 
6576
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6577
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6578
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6579
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6580
     directory.
6581
 
6582
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6583
     reproducible.
6584
 
6585
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6586
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6587
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6588
Major changes:
6589
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6590
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6591
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6592
      longer a list of directories.
6593
 
6594
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6595
      done within the toolset.
6596
 
6597
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6598
 
6599
    * JATS environment variables
6600
      Redefined variable
6601
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6602
                          Previously was a list that included the
6603
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6604
 
6605
      New variable
6606
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6607
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6608
 
6609
 
6610
Minor changes:
6611
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6612
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6613
      target platforms to be extracted.
6614
 
6615
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6616
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6617
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6618
 
6619
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6620
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6621
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6622
 
6623
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6624
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6625
 
6626
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6627
      Support ANT based XML files
6628
 
6629
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6630
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6631
      structure.
6632
 
6633
    * makefile.pl's
6634
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6635
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6636
 
6637
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6638
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6639
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6640
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6641
 
6642
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6643
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6644
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6645
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6646
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6647
      -- Auto.
6648
 
6649
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6650
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6651
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6652
 
6653
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6654
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6655
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6656
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6657
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6658
 
6659
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6660
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6661
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6662
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6663
      installed on the machine.
6664
 
6665
    * WINCE Targets
6666
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6667
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6668
 
6669
 
6670
 
6671
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6672
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6674
Major changes:
6675
    * WIN32 platforms
6676
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6677
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6678
      and installed packages.
6679
 
6680
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6681
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6682
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6683
 
6684
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6685
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6686
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6687
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6688
      searched when looking for libraries.
6689
 
6690
Minor changes:
6691
    * GenerateFiles directive
6692
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6693
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6694
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6695
                          and drive letter
6696
 
6697
    * Src directive
6698
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6699
      directory of a package.
6700
 
6701
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6702
 
6703
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6704
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6705
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6706
 
6707
    * jats_rewrite utility
6708
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6709
 
6710
 
6711
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6712
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6713
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6714
Major changes:
6715
    * SunWorks production builds
6716
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6717
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6718
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6719
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6720
      compiler documentation.
6721
 
6722
    * MOS Toolset
6723
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6724
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6725
 
6726
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6727
 
6728
Minor changes:
6729
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6730
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6731
      This should not affect current users.
6732
 
6733
    * Mugfile generation
6734
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6735
      specified.
6736
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6737
 
6738
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6739
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6741
Major changes:
6742
    MOS Toolset
6743
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6744
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6745
 
6746
Minor changes:
6747
    * Jats wrapper script
6748
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6749
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6750
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6751
 
6752
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6753
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6754
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6755
      may be suspect.
6756
 
6757
    * GenerateFiles directive
6758
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6759
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6760
 
6761
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6762
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6763
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6764
Major changes:
6765
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6766
      build.xml files.
6767
 
6768
Minor changes:
6769
    * WIN32 toolset.
6770
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6771
 
6772
    * MakeAnt
6773
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6774
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6775
 
6776
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6777
 
6778
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6779
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6780
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6781
 
6782
    * MakeAnt directive
6783
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6784
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6785
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6786
 
6787
      Recommended usage:
6788
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6789
 
6790
Internal Changes
6791
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6792

6795
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6797
Major changes:
6798
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6799
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6800
      files packaged into the release.
6801
 
6802
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6803
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6806
 
6807
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6808
      The recommended platform is:
6809
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6810
 
6811
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6812
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6813
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6814
      components.
6815
 
6816
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
6817

6820
 
6821
Minor changes:
6822
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6823
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6824
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6825
      by the package to be accessed.
6826
 
6827
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6828
      application or visual studio.
6829
 
6830
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6831
      and the JATS Core path.
6832
 
6833
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6834
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6835
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6836
 
6837
    * MOS Toolset
6838
      Add support for the TPT device
6839
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6840
 
6841
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6842
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6843
 
6844
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6845
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6846
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6847
 
6848
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6849
 
6850
Internal Changes
6851
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6852
      in jats.pl
6853
 
6854
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6855
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6856
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6857
Major changes:
6858
    * JATS wrapper script
6859
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6860
 
6861
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6862
 
6863
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6864
 
6865
Minor changes:
6866
    * Deployment support
6867
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6868
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6869
 
6870
    * 'build'
6871
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6872
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6873
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6874
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6875
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6876
 
6877
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6878
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6879
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6880
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6881
                                      the link phase.
6882
 
6883
    * BuildPkgArchive
6884
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6885
      Previously these were ignored.
6886
      Minor code cleanup
6887
 
6888
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6889
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6890
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6891
 
6892
    * SOLARIS targets
6893
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6894
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6895
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6896
 
6897
    * MugFile generation
6898
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6899
      included in the final package.
6900
 
6901
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6902
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6903
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6904
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6905
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6906
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6907
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6908
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6909
 
6910
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6911
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6912
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6913
            --Option=(some_text)
6914
            --Option=[some_text]
6915
            --Option={some_text}
6916
 
6917
Internal Changes
6918
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6919
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6920
      code.
6921
 
6922

6923
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6924
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6925
Major changes:
6926
    * JATS wrapper script
6927
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6928
 
6929
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6930
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6931
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6932
      other components.
6933
 
6934
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6935
 
6936
    * JATS
6937
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6938
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6939
 
6940
    * Build operations
6941
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6942
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6943
      packages.
6944
 
6945
    * Make operations
6946
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6947
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6948
 
6949
Minor changes:
6950
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6951
      deployment builds.
6952
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6953
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6954
 
6955
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6956
 
6957
    * build.pl
6958
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6959
        processed. Allows
6960
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6961
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6962
        production.
6963
 
6964
    * MOS toolset
6965
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6966
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6967
 
6968
    * create_dpkg utility
6969
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6970
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6971
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6972
      progress of the build.
6973
 
6974
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6975
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6976
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6977
      system.
6978

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6982
Major changes:
6983
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6984
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6985
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6986
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6987
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6988
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6989
 
6990
    * WCEX86A500 target
6991
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6992
 
6993
    * MOS Toolsets
6994
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6995
      the compiler.
6996
 
6997
    * RunTest directive
6998
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6999
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7000
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7001
 
7002
Minor changes:
7003
    * JATS BUILD
7004
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7005
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7006
      highlight bad settings.
7007
 
7008
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7009
      access to extensions.

7012
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7013
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7014
Major changes:
7015
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7016
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7017
 
7018
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7019
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7020
      under unix.
7021
 
7022
Minor changes:
7023
    * label utility
7024
      Added options to:
7025
        o Delete a label
7026
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7027
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7028
 
7029
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7030
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7031
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7032
      Package directives.
7033
 
7034
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7035
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7036
      system.
7037
 
7038
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7039
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7040
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7041
Major changes:
7042
    * MOS Toolset
7043
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7044
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7045
 
7046
    * WIN32 Toolset
7047
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7048
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7049
      list.
7050
 
7051
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7052
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7053
 
7054
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7055
 
7056
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7057
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7058
 
7059
 
7060
Minor changes:
7061
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7062
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7063
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7064
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7065
      corrected.
7066
 
7067
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7068
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7069
 
7070
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7071
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7072
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7073

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7075
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7076
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7077
Major changes:
7078
    * WIN32 Toolset
7079
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7080
      use with multithreaded modes.
7081
 
7082
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7083
      --OnlyProd.
7084
 
7085
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7086
      within the makefile.pl.
7087
 
7088
Minor changes:
7089
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7090
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7091
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7092
      platforms.
7093
 
7094
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7095
 
7096

7097
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7098
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7099
Major changes:
7100
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7101
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7102
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7103
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7104
 
7105
    * Preliminary Support
7106
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7107
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7108
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7109
 
7110
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7111
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7112
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7113
 
7114
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7115
      building. The default build will build both.
7116
 
7117
Minor changes:
7118
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7119
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7120
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7121
 
7122
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7123
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7124
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7125
 
7126
 
7127
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7128
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7129
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7130
Major changes:
7131
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7132
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7133
      or all.
7134
 
7135
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7136
      the library or program.
7137
 
7138
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7139
 
7140
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7141
      library or any debug files.
7142
 
7143
    * GenerateFiles
7144
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7145
 
7146
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7147
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7148
 
7149
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7150
              The filename of the prereq file
7151
 
7152
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7153
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7154
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7155
 
7156
 
7157
Minor changes:
7158
    * create_dpkg utility
7159
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7160
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7161
      the package has been altered.
7162
 
7163
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7164
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7166
Major changes:
7167
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7168
      This is a WINCE target
7169
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7170
 
7171
    * New toolset
7172
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7173
 
7174
    * Modified toolset
7175
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7176
 
7177
    * Modified toolset
7178
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7179
 
7180
Minor changes:
7181
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7182
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7183
 
7184
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7185
 
7186
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7187
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7188
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7189
 
7190
      The change allows the construct
7191
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7192
      to be replaced by the simpler
7193
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7194
 
7195
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7196
      specified name.    
7197

7202
Major changes:
7203
    * Dependancy generator
7204
      Extend the number of header files that can be included
7205
      to allow for 4096 included files.

7216
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7217
Major changes:
7218
    * The "package.pl" file.
7219
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7220
      package name being taken from the build name
7221
 
7222
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7223
      package Build Name.
7224
 
7225
Minor changes:
7226
    * create_dpkg utility
7227
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7228
 
7229

7232
Major changes:
7233
 
7234
Minor changes:
7235
    * Dependancy generator
7236
      Correct two common situations
7237
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7238
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7239
           ansi, but is often done.
7240
 
7241
    * GCC toolset
7242
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7243
      being created in the correct place.
7244
 
7245
    * jats "label"
7246
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7247
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7248
 
7249
 
7250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7251
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7252
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7253
Major changes:
7254
 
7255
Minor changes:
7256
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7257
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7258
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7259
 
7260
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7261
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7262
 
7263
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7264
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7265
      package was not being transferred.
7266
 
7267
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7268
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7270
Major changes:
7271
    * Support for solaris_i386
7272
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7273
      binaries for this target.
7274
 
7275
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7276
      with the GCC compiler.
7277
 
7278
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7279
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7280
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7281
 
7282
Minor changes:
7283
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7284
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7285
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7286
 
7287
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7288
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7289
 
7290
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7291
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7293
Major changes:
7294
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7295
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7296
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7297
 
7298
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7299
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7300
 
7301
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7302
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7303
      with either " or ' characters.
7304
 
7305
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7306
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7307
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7308
 
7309
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7310
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7311
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7312
 
7313
    * Jats wrapper
7314
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7315
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7316
      further commands.
7317
 
7318
Minor changes:
7319
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7320
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7321
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7322
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7323
 
7324
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7325
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7326
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7327
Major changes:
7328
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7329
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7330
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7331
 
7332
      These options operation affect all components within the
7333
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7334
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7335
 
7336
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7337
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7338
 
7339
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7342
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7344
Major changes:
7345
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7346
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7347
 
7348
Minor changes:
7349
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7350
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7351
 
7352
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7353
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7354
 
7355
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7356
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7357
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7358
Major changes:
7359
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7360
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7361
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7362
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7363
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7364
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7365
      installed.
7366
 
7367
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7368
      libraries that depend on each other.
7369
 
7370
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7371
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7372
 
7373
Minor changes:
7374
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7375
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7376
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7377
 
7378
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7379
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7380
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7381
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7382

Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7385
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7386
Major changes:
7387
 
7388
Minor changes:
7389
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7390
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7391
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7392
      file.
7393
 
7394
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7395
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7396
 
7397
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7398
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7399
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7400
 
7401
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7402
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7403
 
7404
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7405
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7406
 
7407
    * WinCE toolsets
7408
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7409
      compiler specific libraries.
7410
 
7411
    * SOLARIS toolset
7412
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7413
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7414
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7415
 
7416
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7417
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7418
      cleaned up.
7419
 
7420
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7421
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7422
 
7423
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7424
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7425
      with either " or ' characters.
7426
 
7427
 
7428
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7429
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7430
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7431
Major changes:
7432
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7433
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7434
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7435
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7436
 
7437
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7438
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7439
 
7440
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7441
      user.
7442
 
7443
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7444
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7445
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7446
 
7447
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7448
      for the   -Gf option.
7449
 
7450
Minor changes:
7451
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7452
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7453
 
7454
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7455
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7456
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7457
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7458
 
7459
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7460
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7462
Major changes:
7463
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7464
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7465
 
7466
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7467
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7468
      data addresses for the board.
7469
 
7470
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7471
 
7472
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7473
 
7474
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7475
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7476
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7477
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7478
         PackageFile
7479
 
7480
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7481
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7482
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7483
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7484
 
7485
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7486
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7487
      to be installed and packaged.
7488
 
7489
Minor changes:
7490
 
7491
    * cache_dpkg utility
7492
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7493
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7494
 
7495
    * label utility
7496
      New option -auto to create and label
7497
 
7498
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7499
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7500
 
7501
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7502
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7503
      directory. ie:
7504
 
7505
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7506
 
7507
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7508
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7509
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7510
 
7511
 
7512
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7513
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7514
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7515
Major changes:
7516
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7517
 
7518
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7519
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7520
 
7521
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7522
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7523
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7524
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7525
 
7526
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7527
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7528
      compilation.
7529
 
7530
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7531
 
7532
Minor changes:
7533
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7534
      one is being produced.
7535
 
7536
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7537
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7538
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7539
 
7540
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7541
 
7542
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7543
 
7544
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7545
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7546
 
7547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7548
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7549
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7550
Major changes:
7551
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7552
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7553
 
7554
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7555
 
7556
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7557
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7558
      same directory
7559
 
7560
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7561
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7562
      documenattion.
7563
 
7564
Minor changes:
7565
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7566
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7567
 
7568
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7569
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7570
 
7571
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7572
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7573
 
7574
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7575
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7576
 
7577
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7578
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7579
      be exempt from this test.
7580
 
7581
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7582
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7583
 
7584
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7585
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7586
 
7587
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7588
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7589
      does.
7590
 
7591
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7592
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7593
 
7594
 
7595
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7596
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7597
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7598
Major changes:
7599
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7600
 
7601
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7602
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7603
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7604
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7605
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7606
 
7607
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7608
      operations.
7609
 
7610
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7611
 
7612
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7613
 
7614
Minor changes
7615
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7616
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7617
 
7618
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7619
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7620
      directory is not added to the library path.
7621
 
7622
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7623
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7624
 
7625
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7626
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7627
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7628
 
7629
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7630
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7631
      specific flags.
7632
 
7633
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7634
 
7635
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7636
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7637
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7638
 
7639
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7640
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7641
      JATS.
7642
 
7643
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7644
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7645
 
7646
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7647
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7648
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7649
 
7650
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7651
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7652
 
7653
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7654
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7655
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7656
 
7657
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7658
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7659
 
7660
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7661
 
7662
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7663
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7664
 
7665
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7666
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7667
      objects.
7668
 
7669
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7670
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7671
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7672
      build defendants.
