785
    * Jats caching
786
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
787
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

811
Minor changes:
812
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
813
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
814
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
815
 
816
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
817
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
818
 
819
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
820
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
822
 
823
    * Jats Internal: Database access

1110
Minor changes:
1111
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1112
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1113
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1114
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1115
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1116
 
1117
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1118
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

Minor changes:
1126
    * Utility: update_release
1127
      Added options:
1128
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1129
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1130
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1131
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1132
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1133
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1134
 
1135
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1136
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
1137
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
1138
 
1139
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
1140
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

1144
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1145
Major changes:
1146
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1147
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1148
      intended to build deployed software.
1149
 
1150
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1151
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1152
 
1153
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1154
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1155
 
1156
Minor changes:
1157
    * Jats wrapper script
1158
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1159
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1160
      Subversion instance of the command.
1161
 
1162
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1163
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1164
 
1165
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1166
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1167
 
1168
    * Utility: jats upddep
1169
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1170
      file under windows.
1171
 
1172
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1173
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1174
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1175
 
1176
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1177
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1178
 
1179
    * GCC Toolchain
1180
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1196
Major changes:
1197
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1198
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1199
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1200
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1201
 
1202
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1203
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1211
      family
3559 dpurdie 1212
 
1213
Minor changes:
1214
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1215
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1216
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1217
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1218
      line.
1219
 
1220
    * Jats Configuration
1221
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1222
 
1223
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1224
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1225
      and Linux.
1226
 
1227
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1228
      correctly rippled.

1234
 
1235
Minor changes:
1236
    * Jats Core
1237
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1238
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1239
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1240
 
1241
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1242
      Used only by the build daemons.
1243
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1244
 
1245
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1246
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1247
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
1248

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1252
Major changes:
1253
 
1254
Minor changes:
1255
    * svnrelease utility
1256
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1257
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1258
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1259
 
1260
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1261
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1262
      the named tag.
1263
 
1264
    * svnrelease utility
1265
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1266
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1277
        covered by the makefile.
1278
 
1279
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1280
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1281
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1282
 
1283
    * ALL Toolsets
1284
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1285
 
1286
    * Utility vcsdiff
1287
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1288
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1289
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
1297
    * Subversion Extraction
1298
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1299
      directory of the tag.
1300
 
1301
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1302
      repository.
1303
 
1304
    * Subversion Support
1305
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1306
      showing the user what to do.
1307
 
1308
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1309
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1310
      we have build support for this target.
1311
 
1312
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1313
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1314
 
1315
Internal:
1316
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1317
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1318
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1319
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Minor changes:
1336
    * Makefile generation
1337
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1338
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1339
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1340
      of warnings.
1341
 
1342
    * Makefile Generation
1343
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1352
Major changes:
1353
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1354
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1355
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1356
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1357
 
1358
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1359
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1360
      windows path scheme.
1361
 
1362
Minor changes:
1363
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1364
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1365
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1366
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1367
 
1368
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1369
        jats make clobber
1370
      This operates as before.
1371
 
1372
    * Utility: escrow
1373
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1374
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1375
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1376
 
1377
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1378
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1379
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1380
 
1381
    * Utility: svn : url
1382
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1383
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1384
 
1385
    * Utility: svn : import
1386
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1387
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1388
 
1389
    * Subversion Support
1390
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1391
      showing the user what to do.
1392
 
1393
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1394
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1395
      repositories.

1400
 
1401
Minor changes:
1402
    * Jats build
1403
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1404
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1405
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1406
 
1407
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1408
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 1409

Minor changes:
1417
    * Utility: svn
1418
      Added two subcommands
1419
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1420
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1421
                 Can also display available branches.
1422
 
2054 dpurdie 1423
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
1424
      Added '-keepgoing' option to allow the user to ignore errors
2040 dpurdie 1425
 
1426
    * Utility: rtag_extract
1427
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
1428
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
1429
 
1430
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1431
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1432
      Modified two options:
1433
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1434
                        The named branch must not exist
1435
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1436
                        The named branch must exist
1437

1471
 
1472
Major changes:
1473

          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1495
 
1496
Minor changes:
1497
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1498
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1499
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1500
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1501
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1502
 
1503
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1504
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1505

1506
 
1507
    * Linux support utilities
1508
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format

1514
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1515
Major changes:
1516
    * Subversion Repository location
1517
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1518
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1519
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1520
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

1522
 
1523
Minor changes:
1524
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1525
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1526
 
1527
    * Utility: svnrelease
1528
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1529
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1530
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1531
 
1532
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1533
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1534
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1535
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1536
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1537
 
1538
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1539
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1540
 
1541

1542
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
1543
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1544
 
1545
      Subcommand: populate
1546
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1547
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1548
      sandbox.
1549
 
1550
    * Subversion Support
1551
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1552
      repository is not supported.
1553
 
1554
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1555
      a progress indication.
1556
 
1557
    * Jats Online Documentation
1558
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1559
      online documentation.
1560
 
1561
    * Generated makefiles
1562
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 1611
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1612
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
1613
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
1614
 
1615
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 1616

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1639
Major changes:
1640
 
1641
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1642
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1643
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1644
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1645
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1646
 
1647
    * C# Toolchain
1648

    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
1660
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
1661
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1662
 
1663
    * Utility ccrelease
1664
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1665
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1666
 
1667
    * Utility: svn
1668
      Improved package import processing.
1669
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

1696
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1697
Major changes:
1698
 
1699
Minor changes:
1700
    * Command: jats clobber
1701
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1702
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1703
 
1704
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1705
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1706
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1707
 
1708
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1709
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1710
 
377 dpurdie 1711
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1712
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1713
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1714
 
1715
    * jats svnlabel
1716
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1717
 
1718
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1719
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1720
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1721
 
1722
    * Built Daemon support
1723
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1724
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1725

373 dpurdie 1727
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
1728
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1729
Major changes:
1730
    * GCC Toolset
1731
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1732
      New methodology is:
1733
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1734
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1735
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1736
        as the main binary.
1737
 
1738
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1739
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1740
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1741
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1742
      both worlds.
1743
 
1744
Minor changes:
1745
    * HTML Documentation
1746
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1747
 
1748
Internal changes:
1749
    * Generated makefiles

1751
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.
1752

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1756
Major changes:
1757
    * Jats Sandbox
1758
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1759
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1760
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1761
 
1762
    * RIORDS Platform
1763
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

1784
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1785
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
1786
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1787
 
1788
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1789
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1790
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1791
      a vob.
1792
 
1793
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
1858
      the clearcase label.
1859

1868
Major changes:
1869
    * New toolset: ARM251
1870
 
1871
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
1872
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
1873
 
1874
Minor changes:
1875
    * HTML Help
1876
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1877
 
1878
    * jats build -noforce
1879
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1880
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1881
      be forced.
1882
 
1883
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1884
 
1885
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1886
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1887
 
1888
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1889
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1890
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1891
 
1892
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1893
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1894
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1895
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1896

1905
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1906
      installed and can be used.
1907
 
1908
    * Toolset: CSharp
1909
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1910
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1911
      character.
1912
 
1913
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1914
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1915
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1916
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1917
      masking an error.
1918
 
1919
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1920
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1921
      enhancement.

1929
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1930
 
1931
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1932
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1933
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1934
 
1935
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1936
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1937
      packages.
1938
 
1939
    * make command: show
1940
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1941
      'jats make show' command.
1942
 
1943
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1944
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1945
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1946
 
1947
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1948
      executed on Unix machines.

2252
Major changes:
2253
    * [DEVI-062103]

      files for Production and Debug builds.
2262
 
2263
Minor changes:
2264
    * Jats sandbox command
2265

    * Jats release -extract
2269
      The ClearCase view that is created will have a comment tag added that
2270

2286
 
2287
Minor changes:
2288
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
2289
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
2290
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
2291
      resulting in multiple builds.
2292
 
2293
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
2294
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
2295
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
2296
 
2297
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
2298
 
2299
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2300
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
2301
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.
2302

331 dpurdie 2304
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
2305
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2306
Major changes:
2307
 
2308
Minor changes:
2309
    * Jats label command
2310
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2311
      Not recommended for general use.
2312
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2313
      directories within the current view.
2314
 
2315
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2316
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2317
      elsewhere.
2318
 
2319
    * Jats save_build
2320
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2321
      the determination of a branch.
2322
 
2323
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2324
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2325
 
2326
    * Jats build
2327
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2328
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2329
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2330
 
2331
    * Borland6 toolset
2332
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2333
      to match the documented install location of:
2334
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2335
 
2336
    * Jats build
2337
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2338
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2339
      This is a very quick operation.
2340
 
2341
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2342
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2343
 
2344
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2345
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2346
      files are only recreated if need be.
2347
 
2348
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2349
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2350
      make the package.
2351
 
2352
    * Jats sandbox
2353
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2354
 
2355
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2356
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2357
 
2358
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2359
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2360
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2361
      is performed.
2362
 
2363
Internal:
2364
    * build.pl
2365
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

2398
 
2399
Minor changes:
2400
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2401
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2402
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2403
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2404
 
2405
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2406
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2407
 
2408
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2409
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2410
      platform builds.
2411
 
2412
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2413
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2414
      directory tree.
2415
 
2416
    * New command: jats man
2417
      Produces full help on a specified item.
2418
 
2419
Internal changes:
2420
    * jats upddep
2421
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
2422
 
2423
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
2424
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined
2425
      Not yet in use.

323 dpurdie 2428
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
2429
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2430
Major changes:
2431
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2432
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2433
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2434
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2435
 
2436
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2437
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2438
 
2439
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2440
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2441
 
2442
      Examples:
2443
            jats upddep -show
2444
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2445
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2446
 
2447
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2448
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2449
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2450
 
2451
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2452
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2453
 
2454
Minor changes:
2455
 
2456
Internal changes:
2457
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
2458
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
2462
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2463
Major changes:
2464
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2465
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2466
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2467
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2468
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2469
      stream.
2470
 
2471
      Example:
2472
 
2473
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2474
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2475
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2476
                     );
2477
Minor changes:
2478
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2479
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2480
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2481
      directive.
2482
 
2483
    * GCC Toolkit
2484
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2485
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2486
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2487
      the point of termination.
2488
 
2489
    * Jats save_build utility
2490
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2491
      under windows.
2492
 
2493
    * Jats sandbox
2494
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2495
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2496
      in different sandboxes.
2497
 
2498
    * Jats release
2499
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2500

Minor changes:
2507
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2508
      Added -locatedir=name
2509
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2510
      directory.
2511
 
2512
    * jats label utility
2513
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2514
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2515
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2516
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2517
 
2518
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2519
 
2520

2523
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 2524
 
2525
Minor changes:
2526
    * WinCe Toolsets
2527
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2528
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2529
        noExceptions            - Disable
2530
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2531
      Example:
2532
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2533
 
2534
    * Solaris targets
2535
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2536
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2537
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2538
      machine type.
2539
 
2540
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2541
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
2542
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2543
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2544
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2545
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2546
      project files.
2547
 
2548
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2549
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2550
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2551
 
2552
Minor changes:
2553
    * Added more internal documentation
2554
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2555
 
2556
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2557
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2558
 
2559
    * Jats save_build utility
2560
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2561
      under windows.
2562
 
2563
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2564
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2565
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2566
      libraries.
2567
 
2568
    * Solaris builds
2569
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2570
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2571
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2572
      of the build failure.
2573
 
2574
 
2575
Internal changes:
2576
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2577
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2578
 
2579
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2580
      PkgArchive topics.

2587
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2588
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2589
      existing 32-bit builds.
2590
 
2591
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

2596
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2597
 
2598
    * Package searching
2599
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2600
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2601
 
2602
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2603
 
2604
    * jats help
2605
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2606
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2607
 
2608
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2609
      with one of:
2610
        jats -h
2611
        jats help jats
2612
 
2613
Internal:
2614
    * cmdfile utility
2615
      Added macros:
2616
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2617
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar

Version:  2.80.4000.cr                               Released: 17-Dec-09
2631
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2632
Major changes:
2633
 
2634
Minor changes:
2635
 
2636
Internal changes
2637
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2638
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2639
      Useful side effects include:
2640
 
2641
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2642
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2643
 
2644
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2645
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2646
 
2647
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2648
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2649
        BuildPkgArchive
2650
 
313 dpurdie 2651
    * Perl Modules
2652
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2653
      release. This will:
2654
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2655
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2656
          reported by ERG.
2657
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Version:  2.80.3000.cr                               Released: 01-Dec-09
2661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2662
Major changes:
2663
 
2664
Minor changes:
2665
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2666
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2667
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2668
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2669
 
2670
    * Jats label utility
2671
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2672
 
2673
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2674
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2675
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2676
 
2677
    * Jats core
2678
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2679
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2680
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
2689
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2690
      This is now fixed.
2691
 
309 dpurdie 2692
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2693
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2694
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2695
 
2696
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2697
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
2706
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2707
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2708
      an error.
2709
 
2710
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2711
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2712
 
2713
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2714
      Highly specialized directive.

2720
Major changes:
2721
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2722
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2723
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2724
 
2725
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2726
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2727
 
2728
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2729
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2730
      Support includes
2731
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2732
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2733
 
2734
Minor changes:
2735
    * Build file processing
2736
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2737
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2738
 
2739
    * MOS builds
2740
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2741
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2742
 
2743
    * MOS builds
2744
      New 'known' product: PICP
2745
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2746
 
2747
    * GenerateFiles directive
2748
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2749
        under windows.
2750
 
2751
        .
2752
 
2753
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2754
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2755
 
2756
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2757
      to the output stream.
2758
 
2759
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2760
 
2761
    * Windows Shell
2762
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2763
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2764
 
2765
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2766
 
2767
    * H8S toolset
2768
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2769
 
2770
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2771
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2772
 
2773
Internal changes
2774
    * WinCe builds
2775
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2776
      content of the file.
2777
 
2778
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2779
 
2780
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2781
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

2793
Major changes:
2794
 
2795
Minor changes:
2796
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2797
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2798
      Changes are transparent to users.
2799
 
2800
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2801
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2802
      this occurs.
2803
 
2804
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2805
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2806
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2807
      automated build framework.
2808
 
2809
    * jats sandbox command
2810
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2811
      'create' command.
2812
 
2813
    * jats command aliases. Added
2814
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2815
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

2820
Major changes:
2821
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2822
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2823
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2824
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2825
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2826
      will work as expected
2827
 
2828
Minor changes:
2829
    * VS2008 Toolset
2830
      Picking up incorrect config details
2831
      May result in a warning message.
2832
 
2833
    * gen_cots utility
2834
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2835
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2836
 
2837
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2838
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2886
Major changes:
2887
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2888
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2889
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2890
 
2891
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2892
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2893
 
2894
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2895
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2896
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2897
           names cannot be changed.
2898
 
2899
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2900
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2901
 
2902
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2903
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2904
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2905
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2906
 
2907
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2908
      file.
2909
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2910
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2911
      MyPackage.dpk.
2912
 
2913
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2914
      file.
2915
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2916
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2917
      MyDll.dpr.
2918
 
2919
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2920
      file.
2921
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2922
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2923
      MyProg.dpr.
2924
 
2925
Minor changes:
2926
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2927
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2928
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2929
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2930
 
2931
    * BuildVersion directive
2932
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2933
      in a Delphi Unit.
2934
 
2935
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2936
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2937
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2938
      'know' the location of the files.
2939
 
2940
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2941
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2942
 
2943
Internal Changes:
2944
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2945
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2946
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2947
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2948
 
2949
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2950
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2951
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

2955
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2956
Major changes:
2957
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2958
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2959
      information for purely C++ builds.
2960
 
289 dpurdie 2961
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2962
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2963
 
289 dpurdie 2964
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2965
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2966
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2967
 
2968
Minor changes:
2969
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2970
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2971
 
2972
    * updatenodespec utility
2973
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2974

Minor changes:
3011
    * New command: jats make show
3012
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
3013
      used in the build.
3014
 
3015
    * Escrow command
3016
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
3017
 
3018
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
3019
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3020
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3021
 
3022
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3023
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

3028
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3029
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3030
 
279 dpurdie 3031
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3032
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3033
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3034
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3035
 
3036
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3037
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3038
 
3039
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3040
 
3041
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3042
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3043
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3044
 
3045
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3046
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3047
        processed.
3048
 
3049
      Removed the '-delete' option
3050
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3051
 
277 dpurdie 3052
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3053
    * Sandbox command
3054
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3055
 
3056
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3057
      target from consideration in the build set.
3058
 
3059
    * MCR Toolset
3060
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3061
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3062
 
3063
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3064
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3065
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3066
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3067
 
3068
    * Jats run_test command
3069
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3070
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3071
 
3072
    * descpkg file
3073
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3074
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3075
 
3076
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3077
     Now contains build trace information
3078
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3079
 
3080
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3081
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3082
     it contains 'jar' files.
3083
 
3084
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3085
 
3086
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3087
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3088
 
3089
   * BuildVersion directive
3090
     Form:
3091
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3092
     now works as expected.
3093
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3094
 
3095
Internal Changes:

    then starts.
3113
 
3114
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3115

3118
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3119
    non-platform option.
3120
 
279 dpurdie 3121

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
3260
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3261
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3262
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

3284
 
3285
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3286
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3287
 
3288
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
3289
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward

3395
      This is the first version that supports Windows 2003 server.
3396
 
3397
      After discovering that several operations are not fully function under
3398
      Perl 5.6.1 the minimum version of Active State Perl that is required has
3399
      been increased.

    * Jats Build Targets
3406
      New target and toolset: VERIX
3407
 
3408
    * Jats utility: jats_save_build
3409
      Extended to allow all ClearCase specific operations to be removed
3410
      from the Build Daemons.
3411
 
3412
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
3413
 
3414
      Suggested new usage:
3415
        jats etool jats_save_build
3416
                        -pname=xxxx
3417
                        -pversion=yyyy
3418
                        -infofile=path_name
3419
                        -locatepkg=zzzz     (Optional)
3420
                        -infile=aaaa        (Optional)
3421
                        -outfile=bbbb       (Optional)
3422
                        -wiplabel=ccccc     (Optional)
3423
 
3424
Minor changes:
3425
    * JATS make: Merge Library Operation [DEVI-049475]
3426
      Fixed such that Library Merge operations don't delete other build
3427
      artifacts.
3428
 
3429
    * JATS make: New option expert=0|1
3430
      Runtime processing of 'expert' mode to allow dependencies between the
3431
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
3432
 
3433
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
3434
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
3435
      time.
3436
 
3437
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
3438
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."
3439
 
3440
    * Nunit support in CSHARP
3441
      Improved support for different version of Nunit
3442
      Allow the DLLs that are required by nunit to be specified 
3443
      within the package.
3444
 
3445
    * Jats utility: dstatus
3446
      Suppresses archived releases.
3447
      Shows release state
3448
 
3449
    * Build file directive: BuildPkgArchive
3450
      Extended list of supported directories to include 'wsdl'.
3451
 
3452
Internal Changes:
3453
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
3454
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3455
      Previously was being done at two places
3456
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3457
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3458
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
3459
 
3460
    * JATS make: Command line
3461
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
3462
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
3463
 
3464
      It didn't work on all platforms.
3465
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
3466
 
3467
    * JATS command line
3468
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
3469
      to allow:
3470
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
3471
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
3472
        + Consistent use of option parsing
3473
 
3474
    * JATS makefile generation
3475
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
3476
      Improved readability of the generation process
3477
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
3478
      Removed dead code
3479
      Improved the creation of Progs
3480
 
3481
    * JATS error reporting
3482
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
3483
      problems.
3484
 
3485
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG
3486
      environment variables where the 'tag' contains a space.
3487
 
3488
    * Assorted Perl files
3489
      Minor corrected after running Perl Syntax check over JATS files.
3490
 
3491
    * Made the use of IFLAGS uniform for all JATS toolsets
3492
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
3493
      makefiles
3494
 
3495
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
3496
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
3497
 
3498
    * FileUtils package.
3499
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
3500
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
3501
      Used functions within JATS.

Major changes:
3515
 
3516
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
3517
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3518
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3519
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3520
 
3521
Minor changes:
3522
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3523
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
3524
 
3525
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
3526
      some windows tools.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3531
Major changes:
3532
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
3533
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3534
 
3535
      New platforms:
3536
        CSHARP2005
3537
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3538
         Support extends to allow:
3539
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3540
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3541
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3542
 
3543
        VS2005
3544
         Support extends to allow:
3545
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3546
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3547
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3548
 
3549
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3550
      through a version selector:
3551
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3552
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3553
 
3554
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3555
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3556
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3557
 
3558
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3559
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3560
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3561
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3562
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3563
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3564
          under VS2005.
3565
 
3566
Minor changes:
3567
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
3568
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
3569
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
3570
 
3571
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3572
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3573
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3574
 
3575
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3576
 
3577
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3578
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3579
 
3580
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3581
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3582
      a minimal value of perl.
3583
 
3584
      Removed excessive require statements.
3585
 
3586
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3587
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3588
      Include JATS specific files for
3589
        1) Windows
3590
        2) Linux
3591
 
3592
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3593
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3594
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3595
      machines.
3596
 
3597
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3598
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3599
 
3600
    * JATS Environment
3601
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3602
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3603
 
3604
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3605
      wrapper scripts.
3606
 
3607
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3608
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3609
      Spell check help and code.

      Correct the operation of the assembler interface to 'gas' such that
3633
      options are passed correctly.
3634
 
3635
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
3636
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
3637
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
3638
      was added.
3639
 
3640
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
3641
      reviewing a new package.
3642
 
3643
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3644
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
3645
      automatically included in the source file list.
3646
 
253 dpurdie 3647

3660
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
3661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3662
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3663
  * New toolset and platform
3664
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3665
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3666
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3667
    this platform.
3668
 
3669
Minor changes:
3670
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3671
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3672
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3673
    work.
3674
 
3675
  * Jats utility: release
3676
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3677
    published to dpkg_archive.
3678
 
249 dpurdie 3679
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3680
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3681
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3682
    supported for ANT builds.
3683
 
3684
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3685
        releasemanager.releasename
3686
        releasemanager.projectname
3687
 
3688
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3689
    tagged data item of the form
3690
 
3691
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3692
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3693
 
3694
  * Mug File Generation
3695
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3696
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3697
 
3698
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3699
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3700
    required.
3701
 
3702
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3703
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3704
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3705
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3706
    the files in order to use them.
3707
 
3708
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3709
    locate the file.
3710
 
3711
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3712
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3713
 
3714
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3715
        * CSharp
3716
        * Properties
3717
        * WinRC
3718
 
3719
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3720
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3721
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3722
    Value is correctly assigned.
3723

3726
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3727
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3728
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3729
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3730
 
3731
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3732
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3733
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3734
 
3735
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3736
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3737
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3738
 
3739
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3740
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3741
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3742
 
3743
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3744
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3745
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3746
    correct.
3747
 
3748
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3749
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3750
 
3751
Minor changes:
3752
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3753
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3754
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3755
 
3756
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3757
    This will simplify new user setup.
3758
 
3759
  * All Unix Toolsets
3760
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3761
    on unix systems
3762
 
3763
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3764
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3765
    on some Solaris Machines.
3766
 
3767
  * JATS -version=<version>
3768
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3769
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3770

3927
    * MOS Compiler
3928
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3929
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3930
 
3931
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3932
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3933
      descpkg files to be copied.
3934
 
3935
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
3936
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3971
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3972
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3973
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3974
 
3975
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3976
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3977
 
3978
    * Jats wrapper
3979
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3980
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3985
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3986
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3987
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3988
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3989
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3990
 
3991
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3992
 
3993
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3994
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3995
 
3996
    * Running Jats
3997
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3998
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3999
      This may affect some windows developers.
4000
 
4001
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
4002
      Future versions will generate an error.
4003
 
4004
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
4005
 
4006
Minor changes:
4007
    * Perl Version Check
4008
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
4009
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
4010
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
4011
 
4012
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
4013
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
4014
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
4015
      build.
4016
 
4017
    * Jats Internals
4018
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4019
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4020
 
4021
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4022
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4023
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4024
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4025
      process.
4026
 
4027
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4028
      Only works under Windows.
4029
 
4030
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4031
 
4032
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4033
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4034
 
4035
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4036
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4037
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4038
 
4039
    * Jats eprog
4040
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4041
      directory.
4042
 
4043
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4044
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4045
      build metrics.
4046
 
4047

4050
Major changes:
4051
 
4052
Minor changes:
4053
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4054
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4055
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4056
      automated build system. New options are:
4057
        -pname=Package_Name
4058
        -pversion=Package_Version
4059
 
4060
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4061
      transferring the package. New options are:
4062
        -test
4063
 
4064
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4065
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4066
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4067
 
4068
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4069
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4070
 
4071
    * Solaris Toolset
4072
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4073
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4074
      programs are still supported.

4079
Major changes:
4080
 
4081
Minor changes:
4082
    * WINCE toolsets
4083
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4084
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4085
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4086
      when header files cannot be found.
4087
 
4088
    * GenerateFiles directive
4089
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4090
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4091
      that are difficult to solve.
4092
 
4093
    * MakePerlModule directive
4094
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4095
      to the the module builder.
4096
 
4097
    * Jats Tool: label
4098
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4099
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4100
      -dirs=xxx options.
4101
 
4102
    * Jats Tool: release
4103
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4104
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4105
 
4106
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4107
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4108
 
4109
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4110
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4111
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4112
 
4113
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4133
    * make clean up
4134
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4135
 
4136
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4137
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4138
      minor file transformations such as:
4139
        Copy, with optional rename
4140
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4141
        Perform simple TAG replacement

      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4182
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4183
 
4184
    * jats_rewrite utility
4185
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4186
 
4187
    * jats escrow utility
4188
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4189
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4190
 
4191
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4192
      inconsistent packages.
4193
 
4194
    * jats make help
4195
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4196
      available within the current build.
4197
 
4198
    * jats makefiles
4199
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4200
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4201
 
4202
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4203
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4204
 
4205
    * gcc toolset
4206
      SharedLibries.
4207
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4208
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4209
 
4210
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4211
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4212
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4213
 
4214
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4215
        New options:
4216
            --MultiScan
4217
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4218
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4219
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

Major changes:
4226
 
4227
Minor changes:
4228
    PackageLib directive
4229
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4230
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4231
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4232
 
4233
    MakefileGenerate directive
4234
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4235
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4236
 
4237
    Multiple Parent detection
4238
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4239
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4240
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4241
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4242
 
4243
    Solaris Toolset
4244
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4245
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4246
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4247
    link.
4248
 
4249
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4250
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4251
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4252
 
4253
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4254
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4255
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4256
    file.

Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
4260
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4261
Major changes:
4262
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4263
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4264
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4265
 
4266
    Summary of changes:
4267
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4268
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4269
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4270
          flexibility.
4271
 
4272
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4273
 
4274
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4275
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4276
          interface directory and associated build information.
4277
 
4278
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4279
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4280
          than one second.
4281
 
4282
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4283
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4284
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4285
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4286
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4287
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4288
 
4289
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4290
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4291
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4292
 
4293
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4294
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4295
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4296
          building them.
4297
 
4298
        - Detection of build file changes
4299
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4300
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4301
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4302
 
4303
        - Quieter make output
4304
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4305
 
4306
 
4307
Minor changes:
4308
    MakeAnt Directive
4309
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4310
 
4311
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4312
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4313
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4314
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4315
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4316
 
4317
    CSHARP toolset
4318
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4319

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4327
    are generated.
4328
 
4329
    MakeAnt
4330
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4331
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4332
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4333
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4334

    New option: --PackageBase
4347
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4348
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4349
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4350
 
4351
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4352
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4353
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4354
        package image being created.

4374
 
4375
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4376
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4377
 
4378
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4379
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4380
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4381
 
4382
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4383
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4384
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4414
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4415
 
4416
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4417
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4418
      last.
4419
 
4420
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4421
 
4422
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4423
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4424
 
4425
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4426
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4427
 
4428
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4429
 
4430
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4431
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4432
 
4433
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4434
 
4435
 
4436
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4437
           with the --System option

4450
      dependent packages.
4451
 
4452
    * RunTest operation
4453
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.

4460
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4461
Major changes:
4462
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4463
 
4464
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4465
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4466
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4467
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4468
      path.
4469
 
4470
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4471
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4472
      reproducible.
4473
 
4474
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4475
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4476
 
4477
      There are several aspects to the change
4478
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4479
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4480
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4481
 
4482
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4483
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4484
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4485
          controlled separately.
4486
 
4487
Minor changes:
4488
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4489
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4490
        Remove duplicates
4491
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4492

4498
Minor changes:
4499
    * Makefile sanity test
4500
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4501
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4502
 
4503
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4504
      x86 machine.
4505
 
4506
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4507
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4508

4511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4512
Major changes:
4513
    * RunTest directive
4514
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4515
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4516
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4517
 
4518
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4519
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4520
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4521
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4522
 
4523
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4524
        builder within the current toolset.
4525
 
4526
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4527
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4528
 
4529
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4530
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4531
      containing the RunTest directive.
4532
 
4533
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4534
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4535
 
4536
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4537
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4538
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4539
 
4540
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4541
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4542
                            P or D suffix.
4543
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4544
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4545
 
4546
Minor changes:
4547
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4548
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4549
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4550
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4551
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4552
 
4553
    * Save Build Utility
4554
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4555
      used in a ripple build.
4556
 
4557
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4558
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4559
 
4560
    * Release Utility
4561
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4562
      when an error is encountered.
4563
 
4564
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4565
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4566
 
4567
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4568
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4569
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4570
 
4571
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4572
      before the makefiles are created.
4573
 
4574
    * TestProg directive
4575
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4576
 
4577
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4578
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4579

4581
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
4582
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4583
Major changes:
4584
    * New build target
4585
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4586
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4587
 
4588
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4589
            DEVLINUX
4590
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4591
 
4592
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4593
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4594
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4595
 
4596
Minor changes:
4597
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4598
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4599
 
4600
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4601
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4602
 
4603
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4604
      and .cs files.
4605
 
4606
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4607
      thing.
4608
 
4609
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4610
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4611
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4612
      were it places temp files.
4613
 
4614
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4615
      interaction with other builds.
4616
 
4617
    * Release utility command
4618
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4619
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4620
      component in the clearcase tag name.

4623
Version: JATS_2.66.0                                Released: 27-Jun-07
4624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4625
Major changes:
4626
  * Support for building CSHARP code
4627
    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
4628
 
4629
    Supports the handling of .resx files
4630
 
4631
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
4632
    libraries
4633
 
4634
Minor changes:
4635
  * Unit Tests
4636
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
4637
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4638
 
4639
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
4640
    as a Script.

Major changes:
4669
 
4670
Minor changes:
4671
  * WINCE Support
4672
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4673
 
4674
  * Removed the following targets
4675
        TP5600
4676
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4677
        TP5600_EMU
4678
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4679
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4680
 
4681
  * Deployment
4682
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4683
 
4684
  * build.pl
4685
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4686
 
4687
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4688
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4689
 
4690
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4691
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4692
    build.
4693
 
4694
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4695
 
4696
  * Tool: escrow
4697
     New features
4698
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4699
     are not in the SBOM.
4700
 
4701
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4702
 
4703
     Specify packages to be ignored.
4704

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4707
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
4708
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4709
Major changes:
4710
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4711
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4712
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4713
 
4714
  * GenerateFiles
4715
    Added the options:
4716
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4717
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4718
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4719
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4720
 
4721
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4722
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4723
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4724
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4725
                                  required.
4726
 
4727
 
4728
Minor changes:
4729
  * GenerateFile directive
4730
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4731
 
4732
  * GCC Toolset
4733
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4734
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4735
    be rebuilt.
4736
 
4737
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4738
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4739
 
4740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4741
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4742
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4743
Major changes:
4744
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4745
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4746
    environment variables.
4747
 
4748
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4749
            moved.
4750
 
4751
    This will affect users that:
4752
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4753
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4754
 
4755
        2) Use the ABT system
4756
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4757
           the required configuration
4758
 
4759
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4760
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4761
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4762
    Windows
4763
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 4764
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
4765
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4766
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 4767
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 4768
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
4769
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4770
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 4771
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4772
 
4773
 
4774
  * New build platforms
4775
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4776
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4777
 
4778
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4779
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4780
 
4781
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4782
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4783
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4784
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4785
 
4786
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4787
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4788
    release.
4789
 
4790
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4791
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4792
 
4793
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4794
    need to be converted.
4795
 
4796
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4797
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4798
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4799
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4800
    used for different targets platforms.
4801
 
4802
  * Sandbox support
4803
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4804
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4805
 
4806
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4807
 
4808
Minor changes:
4809
 
4810
 
4811
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4812
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4813
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4814
Major changes:
4815
  * MakeAnt directive
4816
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4817
 
4818
    New options
4819
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4820
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4821
 
4822
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4823
    run_unit_tests phase.
4824
 
4825
  * Sandbox support
4826
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4827
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4828
 
4829
Minor changes:
4830
  * jats build
4831
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4832
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4833
 
4834
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4835
 
4836
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4837
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4838
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4839
 
4840
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4841
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4842
 
4843
  * JATS.BAT
4844
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4845
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4846
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4847
 
4848
  * jats label
4849
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4850
 
4851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4852
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4854
Major changes:
4855
  * New build platform:
4856
        LMOS_TP5600
4857
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4858
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4859
 
4860
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4861
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4862
    describe the group of platforms.
4863
 
4864
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4865
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4866
    build these targets.
4867
 
4868
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4869
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4870
 
4871
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4872
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4873
 
4874
  * New build platform: WINCE
4875
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4876
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4877
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4878
 
4879
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4880
            WCEIT3000
4881
            WCEPA961
4882
            WCEPA962
4883
            WCEPCM7220
4884
            WCEPSION_420
4885
            WCEPSPC_arm
4886
            WCEPSPC_emu
4887
            WCEX86A420
4888
            WCEX86A500
4889
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4890
 
4891
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4892
 
4893
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4894
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4895
    that contain packaging directives.
4896
 
4897
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4898
    very unusual configurations.
4899
 
4900
Minor changes:
4901
  * Directive: PackageFile
4902
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4903
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4904
    an '='.
4905
 
4906
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4907
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4908
 
4909
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4910
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4911
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4912
 
4913
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4914
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4915
 
4916
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4917
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4918
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4919
Major changes:
4920
 
4921
  * JATS release command
4922
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4923
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4924
 
4925
    Rules are:
4926
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4927
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4928
                            File will be placed on a branch
4929
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4930
                            New directory will branch
4931
 
4932
Minor changes:
4933
  * JATS release command
4934
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4935
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4936
 
4937
  * JATS label command
4938
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4939
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4940
 
4941
  * JATS make
4942
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4943
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4944
    was re-packaged.
4945
 
4946
  * JATS escrow
4947
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4948
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4949
 
4950
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4951
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4952
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4953
 
4954
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4955
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4956
    interface directory.
4957
 
4958
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4959
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4960
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4961
    directory as seen by the package.
4962
 
4963
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4964
 
4965
  * JAVA 6
4966
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4967
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4968
 
4969
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4970
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4971
 
4972
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4973
 
4974
  * Jats command: vars
4975
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4976
    These indicate potential problems.
4977
 
4978
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4979
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4980
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4981
Major changes:
4982
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4983
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4984
    libarry is also created.
4985
 
4986
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4987
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4988
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4989
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4990
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4991
    information contained within the file.
4992
 
4993
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4994
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4995
 
4996
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4997
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4998
 
4999
  * Building Perl Modules
5000
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
5001
    documentation on the build machine.
5002
 
5003
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
5004
 
5005
Minor changes:
5006
  * jats create_dpkg
5007
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
5008
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
5009
 
5010
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5011
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
5012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5013
Major changes:
5014
  * JATS JAVA build target
5015
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
5016
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5017
 
5018
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5019
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5020
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5021
    is then picked up as the default version.
5022
 
5023
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5024
    build.pl file.
5025
 
5026
Minor changes:
5027
  * jats release
5028
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5029
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5030
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5031
 
5032
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5033
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5034
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5035
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5036
    the name of the view.
5037
 
5038
  * GenerateFiles directive
5039
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5040
 
5041
  * MOS Toolset
5042
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5043
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5044
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5045
 
5046
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5047
 
5048
 
5049
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5050
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5052
Major changes:
5053
 
5054
Minor changes:
5055
  * JATS environment
5056
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5057
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5058
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5059
 
5060
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5061
 
5062
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5063
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5064
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5065
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5066
    to be packaged.
5067
 
5068
  * Generated makefiles
5069
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5070
 
5071
  * Generating MOS THX files
5072
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5073
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5074
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5075
 
5076
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5077
 
5078
  * JATS release
5079
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5080
 
5081
  * JATS extract
5082
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5083
 
5084
  * JATS Toolset
5085
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5086
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5087
 
5088
 
5089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5090
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5092
Major changes:
5093
 
5094
Minor changes:
5095
  * jats label
5096
    Added a -vob=name option
5097
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5098
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5099
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5100
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5101
 
5102
    Added a -user=name option
5103
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5104
    label to the named user.
5105
 
5106
  * jats release
5107
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5108
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5109
 
5110
  * JATS build.pl
5111
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5112
    ie:
5113
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5114
 
5115
 
5116
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5117
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5118
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5119
Major changes:
5120
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5121
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5122
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5123
    the makefile internals. ie:
5124
        --Var(BuildName)
5125
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5126
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5127
 
5128
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5129
 
5130
  * GenerateFiles
5131
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5132
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5133
 
5134
  * BuildPlatforms
5135
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5136
 
5137
Minor changes:
5138
  * GCC Toolset
5139
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5140
 
5141
Internal changes:
5142
  * GenerateFiles
5143
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5144
 
5145
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5146
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5147
 
5148
 
5149
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5150
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5151
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5152
Major changes:
5153
  * Caching JATS
5154
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5155
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5156
 
5157
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5158
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5159
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5160
 
5161
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5162
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5163
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5164
 
5165
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5166
 
5167
Minor changes:
5168
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5169
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5170
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5171
 
5172
  * jats build
5173
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5174
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5175
    processed by the build.
5176
 
5177
  * jats build
5178
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5179
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5180
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5181
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5182
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5183
 
5184
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5185
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5186
    Path is not specified.
5187
 
5188
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5189
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5190
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5191
        --Dir=$Pinc
5192
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5193
 
5194
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5195
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5196
    Windows platform.
5197
 
5198
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5199
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5200
            by 'purecov.
5201
 
5202
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5203
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5204
 
5205
        - OPTIONS=purify
5206
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5207
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5208
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5209

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
5213
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5214
Major changes:
5215
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5216
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5217
    Example:
5218
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5219
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5220
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5221
 
5222
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5223
    been determined.
5224
 
5225
Minor changes:
5226
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5227
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5228
    located at build-time.
5229
 
5230
  * Unix based systems
5231
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5232
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5233
 
5234
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5235
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5236
    driver being built.
5237
 
5238
 
5239

5244
 
5245
Minor changes:
5246
  * jats_rewrite tool
5247
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
5248
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
5249
 
5250
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5251
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5252
 
5253
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5254
    dependancy information within a package.
5255
 
5256
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5257
    messages.
5258
 
5259
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5260
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
5261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5262
Major changes:
5263
  * makefile.pl directives
5264
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
5265
 
5266
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5267
 
5268
    GenerateFiles.
5269
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5270
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5271
                      be run on every invocation.
5272
 
5273
 
5274
Minor changes:
5275
  * Added the jats version command
5276
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
5277
 
5278
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
5279
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5280
  There are two mechanism:
5281
 
5282
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5283
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5284
 
5285
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5286
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5287
 
5288
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5289
  default.
5290
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5291
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
5292

5295
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5296
Major changes:
5297
  * SunWorks Toolset
5298
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5299
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5300
    It is based on machine type.
5301
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5302
 
5303
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5304
 
5305
Minor changes:
5306
  * Perl DBI interface
5307
    Removed the message showing database connection
5308
 
5309
  * JATS internal library
5310
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
5311
 
5312
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5313
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
5314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5315
Major changes:
5316
  * GCC Toolset
5317
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
5318
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
5319
    Removed the use of `uname`.
5320
 
5321
  * Added platforms
5322
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
5323
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5324
    TP5600_EMU
5325
 
5326
Minor changes:
5327
  * descpkg file reader
5328
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
5329
    field separator.
5330
 
5331
  * JATS eprog command
5332
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5333
 
5334
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5335
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5336
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5337
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5338
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5339
 
5340
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5341
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5342
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5343
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5344
 
5345
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5346
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
5347

5351
Major changes:  Directive: RunTests
5352
  * The --CopyIn option will always copy in the specified files
5353
 
5354
  * GCC Toolset (Shared Library Generation)
5355
    Added option --Def=file_name to the shared library definitions
5356
 
5357
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
5358
 
5359
 
5360
Minor changes:
5361
  * JATS wrapper script
5362
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5363
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5364
    to setup links to system programs.

5384
Major changes:
5385
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5386
    Added CompileOptions
5387
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5388
        no_misalign         - Default
5389
 
5390
        multithread         - Default
5391
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
5392
 
5393
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5394
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
5395
 
5396
        prod_no_optimise
5397
        prod_no_debuginfo
5398

5405
 
5406
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5407
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5408
    Theses are:
5409
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5410
        SOLARIS_AMD
5411
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5412
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5413
 
5414
Minor changes:
5415
  * AT3232 toolset
5416
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

5425
Major changes:
5426
 
5427
Minor changes:
5428
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5429
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5430
    messages
5431
 
5432
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5433
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5434
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5435
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5436
 
5437

5438
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
5439
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5440
Major changes:
5441
 
5442
Minor changes:
5443
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5444
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5445
    library without creating the body of the library:
5446
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5447
 
5448
 
5449
  * MOS toolsets
5450
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5451
    library without creating the body of the library:
5452
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5453
 
5454
  * JATS BIN directories
5455
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5456
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5457
    using autoconf.
5458
 
5459
  * Generate directive
5460
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5461
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5462
 
5463
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5464
 
5465

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5467
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5468
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5469
Major changes:
5470
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5471
    Initial release.
5472
 
5473
Minor changes:
5474
 
5475
 
5476
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5477
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5478
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5479
Major changes:
5480
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5481
    Initial release.
5482
 
5483
  * Packaging directives
5484
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5485
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5486
 
5487
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5488
        SOLARIS
5489
        WIN32
5490
 
5491
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5492
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5493
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5494
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5495
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5496
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5497
 
5498
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5499
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5500
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5501
 
5502
 
5503
Minor changes:
5504
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5505
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5506
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5507
 
5508
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5509
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5510
    location
5511
 
5512
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5513
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5514
 
5515
  * Utility genrc
5516
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5517
 
5518
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5519
    Added option: -new
5520
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5521
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5522
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5523
 
5524
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5525
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5526
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5527
 
5528
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5529
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5530
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5531
 
5532
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5533
   features - in a uniform manner.
5534
 
5535
 
5536
Internal Changes:
5537
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5538
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5539
 
5540
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5541
        1) Platform information available at build time
5542
        2) Dynamic platform names
5543
 
5544
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5545
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5546
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5547
 
5548
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5549
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5550
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5551
 
5552
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5553
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5554
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5555
    needed.
5556
 
5557
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5558
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5559
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5560
    files from all of these.

5563
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
5564
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5565
Major changes:
5566
 
5567
Minor changes:
5568
  * WinCE toolset
5569
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
5570
 
5571
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5572
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5573
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5574
Major changes:
5575
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5576
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5577
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5578
 
5579
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5580
 
5581
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5582
    the operations.
5583
 
5584
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5585
 
5586
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5587
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5588
 
5589
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5590
 
5591
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5592
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5593
 
5594
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5595
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5596
    Extended the built-in help
5597
    Added useful error messages
5598
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5599
 
5600
  * WinCE toolset
5601
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5602
 
5603
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5604
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5605
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5606
 
5607
Minor changes:
5608
  * JATS wrapper script
5609
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5610
    the command line.
5611
 
5612
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5613
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5614
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5615
 
5616
Internal Changes:
5617
  * Common Error Reporting
5618
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5619
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5620
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5621
    level.
5622
 
5623
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5624
    displayed.
5625
 
5626
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5627
 
5628
  * Added JatsSystem module
5629
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5630
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5631
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

5633
Major changes:
5634
 
5635
Minor changes:
5636
  * BR Compiler toolset
5637
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5638
    .def files to include other files.
5639
 
5640
  * IAR toolset
5641
    Added AT7272 support
5642
 
5643
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5644
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5645
 
5646
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5647
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
5648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5649
Major changes:
5650
 
5651
Minor changes:
5652
  * BR Compiler toolset
5653
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5654
    use.
5655
 
5656
 
5657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5658
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5659
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5660
Major changes:
5661
 
5662
Minor changes:
5663
  * Mictotec toolset
5664
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5665
    builds.
5666
 
5667
  * JATS Core
5668
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5669
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5670
    behaviour.
5671
 
5672
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5673
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5674
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5675
Major changes:
5676
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5677
    Deployment package will be affected.
5678
 
5679
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5680
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5681
 
5682
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5683
 
5684
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5685
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5686
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5687
    packages.
5688
 
5689
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5690
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5691
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5692
 
5693
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5694
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5695
 
5696
Minor changes:
5697
  * SubDir directive
5698
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5699
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5700
 
5701
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5702
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5703
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5704
    of the file usage.
5705
 
5706
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5707
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5708
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5709
 
5710
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5711
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5712
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5713
 
5714
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5715
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5716
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5717
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5718
 
5719
 
5720
Internal Changes:
5721
  * Code refactor
5722
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5723
 
5724
  * Deployment utilities
5725
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5726
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5727
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5728
    the module can locate the file.
5729
 
5730
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5731
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5732
 
5733
  * JATS core
5734
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5735
 
5736
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5737
 
5738
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5739
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5740
    through the use of environment variables.
5741
 
5742
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5743
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5744
 
5745
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5746
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5747
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5748
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5749
 
5750
  * Make environment
5751
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5752
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5753
 
5754
 
5755

5765
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5766
 
5767
Not Released.
5768
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5769
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5770
 
5771

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5775
Major changes:
5776
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5777
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5778
    radically replaced.
5779
 
5780
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5781
    Usage:
5782
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5783
 
5784
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5785
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5786
    this solution:
5787
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5788
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5789
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5790
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5791
 
5792
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5793
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5794
    order to work.
5795
 
5796
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5797
    reduced functionality.
5798
 
5799
 
5800
Minor changes:
5801
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5802
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5803
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5804
 
5805
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5806
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5807
    within the makefiles.
5808
        Options:
5809
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5810
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5811
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5812
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5813
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5814
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5815
        Useage:
5816
 
5817
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5818
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5819
 
5820
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5821
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5822
    is not in the current directory.
5823
 
5824
  * Jats Command: ant'
5825
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5826
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5827
 
5828
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5829
 
5830
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5831
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5832
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5833
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5834
 
5835
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5836
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5837
    Thus
5838
 
5839
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5840
 
5841
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5842

Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5847
Major changes:
5848
 
5849
Minor changes:
5850
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5851
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5852
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5853
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5854
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5855
 
5856
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5857
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5858
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5859
 
5860
Internal changes:
5861
  * JATS toolsets
5862
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5863
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5864
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5865
 
5866
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5867
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5868
 
5869
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5870
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5871
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5872
Major changes:
5873
  * Jats command: etool
5874
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5875
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5876
 
5877
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5878
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5879
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5880
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5881
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5882
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5883
 
5884
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5888
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5889
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5890
Major changes:
5891
  * JATS environment variables
5892
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5893
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5894
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5895
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5896
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5897
 
5898
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5899
              Remote repository
5900
 
5901
    Added GBE_DPLY
5902
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5903
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5904
 
5905
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5906
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5907
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5908
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5909
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5910
 
5911
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5912
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5913
 
5914
 
5915
Minor changes:
5916
  * JATS utility: build
5917
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5918
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5919
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5920
 
5921
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5922
    Ensure label is not locked
5923
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5924
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5925
 
5926
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5927
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5928
    to a specific type of build.
5929
 
5930
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5931
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5932
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5933
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5934
 
5935
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5936
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5937
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5938
 
5939
  * JATS utility: release
5940
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5941
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5942
 
5943
  * JATS utility: label
5944
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5945
    when it is being created.
5946
 
5947
Internal Changes
5948
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5949
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5950
 
5951
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5952
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5953
 
5954
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5955
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5956
    different results.
5957
 
5958
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5959
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5960
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5961
 
5962
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5963
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5964
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5965
Major changes:
5966
 
5967
  * MCR toolset
5968
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5969
 
5970
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5971
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5972
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5973
Major changes:
5974
  * WIN32 utilities
5975
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5976
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5977
 
5978
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5979
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5980
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5981
 
5982
Minor changes:
5983
  * BuildVersion
5984
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5985
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5986
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5987
 
5988
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5989
 
5990
  * Unix Builds
5991
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5992
    library or a shared library.
5993
 
5994
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5995
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5996
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5997
    start with 'lib'.
5998
 
5999
  * BuildPkgArchive
6000
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
6001
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
6002
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
6003
 
6004
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6005
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
6006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6007
Major changes:
6008
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6009
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
6010
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
6011
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
6012
    being manually maintained.
6013
 
6014
 
6015
Minor changes:
6016
  * MakeAnt directive
6017
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
6018
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
6019
    supports ANT builds.
6020
 
6021
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6022
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
6023
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
6024
 
6025
  * Label utility
6026
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
6027
    files to be labeled.
6028
 
6029
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
6030
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
6031
    on Solaris.
6032
 
6033
  * Generated makefiles
6034
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
6035
    nothing.
6036
 
6037
  * MOS Toolset
6038
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
6039
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
6040
    modules.
6041
 
6042
  * Utility: gen_cots
6043
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
6044
    and then check it in under clearcase.
6045
 
6046
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
6047
 
6048
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
6049
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
6050
 
6051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6052
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
6053
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6054
Major changes:
6055
  None
6056
 
6057
Minor changes:
6058
  * DEVI addressed
6059
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6060
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6061
 
6062
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6063
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6064
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6065
 
6066
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6067
 
6068
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6069
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6070
 
6071
  * RunTest directive
6072
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6073
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6074
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6075
 
6076
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6077
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6078
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6079
    packaged under JATS
6080
 
6081
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6082
          supported within JATS.
6083
 
6084
  * Jats utility wrapper
6085
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6086
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6087
 
6088
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6089
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6090
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6091
 
6092
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6093
    Eg: jats ant
6094
 
6095
  * Jats utility wrapper
6096
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6097
 
5710 dpurdie 6098
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6099
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6100
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6101
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6102
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6103
 
5710 dpurdie 6104
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6105
    expect a build.pl file.
6106
 
6107
  * Jats utility wrapper
6108
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6109
 
6110
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6111
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6112
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6113
 
6114
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6115
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6116
 
6117
  * Build files
6118
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6119
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6120
 
6121

6122
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6123
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6124
Major changes:
6125
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6126
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6127
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6128
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6129
 
6130
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6131
 
6132
Minor changes:
6133
  * None
6134
 
6135
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6136
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6137
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6138
Major changes:
6139
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6140
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6141
    ie:
6142
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6143
 
6144
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6145
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6146
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6147
    environments are compatible.
6148
 
6149
 
6150
Minor changes:
6151
  * BuildName option
6152
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6153
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6154
 
6155
  * jats.bat
6156
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6157
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6158
 
6159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6160
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6161
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6162
Major changes:
6163
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6164
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6165
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6166
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6167
 
6168
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6169
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6170
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6171
 
6172
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6173
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6174
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6175
 
6176
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6177
    transferred.
6178
 
6179
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6180
    See notes below.
6181
 
6182
  * WIN32 toolset
6183
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6184
    correctly.
6185
 
6186
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6187
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6188
 
6189
  * BuildVersion
6190
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6191
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6192
    other langauges as needed.
6193
 
6194
 
6195
Minor changes:
6196
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6197
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6198
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6199
    version strings.
6200
 
6201
  * GenerateFiles directive
6202
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6203
    package or an imported package.
6204
 
6205
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6206
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6207
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6208
 
6209
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6210
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6211
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6212
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6213
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6214
 
6215
Internal Changes
6216
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6217
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6218
    of utilities.
6219
 
6220
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6221
    functions.
6222
 
6223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6224
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6226
Major changes:
6227
  * Generated makefiles
6228
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6229
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6230
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6231
 
6232
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6233
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6234
    incorrectly processing:
6235
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6236
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6237
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6238
    confused.
6239
 
6240
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6241
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6242
    The construct
6243
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6244
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6245
    then it works.
6246
 
6247
  * MakeAnt directive
6248
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6249
 
6250
    This option has the following effects
6251
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6252
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6253
 
6254
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6255
           early - in the generated files phase.
6256
 
6257
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6258
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6259
 
6260
 
6261
Minor changes:
6262
  * JATS post-installation script
6263
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6264
 
6265
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6266
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6267
    windows.
6268
 
6269
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6270
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6271
 
6272
  * Jats wrapper script
6273
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6274
        1) Contain spaces
6275
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6276
 
6277
  * Toolset
6278
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6279
 
6280
  * JAVA toolset
6281
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6282
    directive:
6283
 
6284
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6285
 
6286
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6287
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6288
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6289
 
6290
  * GCC Toolset
6291
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6292
 
6293
  * Makefile generation
6294
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6295
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6296
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6297
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6298
    package could not be used.
6299
 
6300
  * Unit Tests
6301
    The following environment variables are set:
6302
 
6303
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6304
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6305
 
6306
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6307
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6308
 
6309
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6310
 
6311
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6312
 
6313
 
6314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6315
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6317
Major changes:
6318
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6319
 
6320
    Special features of this toolset.
6321
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6322
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6323
       incorporated within the target image.
6324
 
6325
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6326
       --Set=Name=Value
6327
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6328
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6329
 
6330
       --Ref=name
6331
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6332
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6333
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6334
                will be taken from the build version number.
6335
 
6336
Minor changes:
6337
  * MOS Toolset
6338
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6339
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6340
    packaged.
6341
 
6342
  * Src directive
6343
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6344
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6345
    specifier.
6346
 
6347
  * WIN32 runtime support
6348
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6349
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6350
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6351
 
6352
Internal:
6353
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6354
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6355
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6356
 
6357
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6358
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6359
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6360
Major changes:
6361
    * BuildAlias directive
6362
      Added options.
6363
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6364
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6365
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6366
                          targets.
6367
      Eg:
6368
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6369
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6370
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6371
 
6372
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6373
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6374
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6375
 
6376
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6377
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6378
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6379
 
6380
 
6381
Minor changes:
6382
  * Label utility
6383
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6384
    build.pl file
6385
 
6386
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6387
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6388
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6389
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6390
    --FilterIn option.
6391
 
6392
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6393
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6394
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6395
 
6396
  * Location of descpkg file
6397
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6398
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6399
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6400
 
6401
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6402
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6403
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6404
Major changes:
6405
  * RunTest directive
6406
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6407
    Additional options
6408
      --CopyIn=file
6409
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6410
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6411
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6412
        the test area.
6413
 
6414
    Additional operations
6415
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6416
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6417
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6418
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6419
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6420
    Allows flags:
6421
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6422
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6423
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6424
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6425
 
6426
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6427
    existence is tested.
6428
 
6429
  * Packaging Directives
6430
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6431
    such as LMOS.
6432
 
6433
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6434
 
6435
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6436
 
6437
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6438
 
6439
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6440
 
6441
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6442
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6443
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6444
 
6445
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6446
 
6447
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6448
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6449
 
6450
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6451
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6452
 
6453
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6454
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6455
 
6456
Minor changes:
6457
  * Script directive
6458
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6459
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6460
 
6461
  * JATS environment
6462
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6463
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6464
    the JATS wrapper script.
6465
 
6466
  * Label utility
6467
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6468
    There are three modes of operation:
6469
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6470
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6471
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6472
 
6473
 
6474
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6475
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6476
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6477
Major changes:
6478
 
6479
Minor changes:
6480
  * label utility
6481
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6482
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6483
 
6484
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6485
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6486
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6487
      --ProgLoader=name
6488
 
6489
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6490
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6491
    Options to do this are:
6492
        --TreeDir=name
6493
        --FilterOut=regexp
6494
        --FilterIn=regexp
6495
        --StripDir
6496
 
6497
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6498
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6499
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6500
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6501
 
6502
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6503
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6504
 
6505
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6506
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6507
 
6508
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6509
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6510
 
6511
 
6512
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6513
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6514
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6515
Major changes:
6516
    * Make commands
6517
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6518
 
6519
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6520
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6521
 
6522
    * Label utility
6523
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6524
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6525
 
6526
Minor changes:
6527
    * Toolsets
6528
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6529
      variables and overrides.
6530
 
6531
      The make_init target is always run.
6532
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6533
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6534
 
6535
    * Deployment
6536
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6537
      with deployment operations.
6538
 
6539
    * Release utility
6540
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6541
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6542
      restricted by options within the build.
6543
 
6544
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6545
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6546
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6547
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6548
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6549
 
6550
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6551
      directives.
6552
 
6553
    * MakeProject directive
6554
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6555
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6556
 
6557
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6558
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6559
      is preserved.
6560
 
6561
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6562
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6563
      statements.
6564
 
6565
    * Mugfile generation
6566
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6567
      be placed in the target package.
6568
 
6569
 
6570
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6571
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6573
Major changes:
6574
    * BuildVersion directive
6575
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6576
      number as well as a patch number.
6577
 
6578
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6579
      number.
6580
 
6581
Minor changes:
6582
    * AddFlags directives
6583
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6584
      duplicate flags being added.
6585
 
6586
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6587
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6588
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6589
 
6590
    * Mug File Generation
6591
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6592
 
6593
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6594
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6595
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6596
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6597
     directory.
6598
 
6599
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6600

6603
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6604
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6605
Major changes:
6606
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6607
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6608
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6609
      longer a list of directories.
6610
 
6611
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6612
      done within the toolset.
6613
 
6614
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6615
 
6616
    * JATS environment variables
6617
      Redefined variable
6618
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6619
                          Previously was a list that included the
6620
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6621
 
6622
      New variable
6623
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6624
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6625
 
6626
 
6627
Minor changes:
6628
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6629
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6630
      target platforms to be extracted.
6631
 
6632
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6633
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6634
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6635
 
6636
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6637
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6638
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6639
 
6640
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6641
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6642
 
6643
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6644
      Support ANT based XML files
6645
 
6646
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6647
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6648
      structure.
6649
 
6650
    * makefile.pl's
6651
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6652
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6653
 
6654
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6655
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6656
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6657
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6658
 
6659
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6660
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6661
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6662
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6663
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6664
      -- Auto.
6665
 
6666
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6667
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6668
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6669
 
6670
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6671
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6672
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6673
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6674
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6675
 
6676
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6677
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6678
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6679
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6680
      installed on the machine.
6681
 
6682
    * WINCE Targets
6683
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6684
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6685
 
6686
 
6687
 
6688
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6689
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6690
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6691
Major changes:
6692
    * WIN32 platforms
6693
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6694
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6695
      and installed packages.
6696
 
6697
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6698
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6699
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6700
 
6701
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6702
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6703
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6704
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6705
      searched when looking for libraries.
6706
 
6707
Minor changes:
6708
    * GenerateFiles directive
6709
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6710
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6711
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6712
                          and drive letter
6713
 
6714
    * Src directive
6715
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6716
      directory of a package.
6717
 
6718
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6719
 
6720
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6721
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6722
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6723
 
6724
    * jats_rewrite utility
6725
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6726
 
6727
 
6728
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6729
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6731
Major changes:
6732
    * SunWorks production builds
6733
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6734
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6735
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6736
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6737
      compiler documentation.
6738
 
6739
    * MOS Toolset
6740
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6741
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6742
 
6743
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6744
 
6745
Minor changes:
6746
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6747
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6748
      This should not affect current users.
6749
 
6750
    * Mugfile generation
6751
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6752
      specified.
6753
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6754
 
6755
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6756
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6757
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6758
Major changes:
6759
    MOS Toolset
6760
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6761
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6762
 
6763
Minor changes:
6764
    * Jats wrapper script
6765
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6766
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6767
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6768
 
6769
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6770
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6771
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6772
      may be suspect.
6773
 
6774
    * GenerateFiles directive
6775
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6776
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6777
 
6778
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6779
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6780
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6781
Major changes:
6782
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6783
      build.xml files.
6784
 
6785
Minor changes:
6786
    * WIN32 toolset.
6787
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6788
 
6789
    * MakeAnt
6790
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6791
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6792
 
6793
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6794
 
6795
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6796
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6797
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6798
 
6799
    * MakeAnt directive
6800
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6801
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6802
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6803
 
6804
      Recommended usage:
6805
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6806
 
6807
Internal Changes
6808
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6809

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6812
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6813
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6814
Major changes:
6815
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6816
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6817
      files packaged into the release.
6818
 
6819
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6820
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6823
 
6824
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6825
      The recommended platform is:
6826
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6827
 
6828
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6829
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6830
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6831
      components.
6832
 
6833
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
6834

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildSmallJavaComponents
6837
 
6838
Minor changes:
6839
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6840
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6841
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6842
      by the package to be accessed.
6843
 
6844
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6845
      application or visual studio.
6846
 
6847
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6848
      and the JATS Core path.
6849
 
6850
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6851
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6852
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6853
 
6854
    * MOS Toolset
6855
      Add support for the TPT device
6856
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6857
 
6858
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6859
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6860
 
6861
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6862
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6863
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6864
 
6865
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6866
 
6867
Internal Changes
6868
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6869
      in jats.pl
6870
 
6871
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6872
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6873
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6874
Major changes:
6875
    * JATS wrapper script
6876
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6877
 
6878
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6879
 
6880
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6881
 
6882
Minor changes:
6883
    * Deployment support
6884
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6885
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6886
 
6887
    * 'build'
6888
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6889
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6890
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6891
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6892
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6893
 
6894
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6895
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6896
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6897
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6898
                                      the link phase.
6899
 
6900
    * BuildPkgArchive
6901
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6902
      Previously these were ignored.
6903
      Minor code cleanup
6904
 
6905
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6906
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6907
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6908
 
6909
    * SOLARIS targets
6910
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6911
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6912
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6913
 
6914
    * MugFile generation
6915
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6916
      included in the final package.
6917
 
6918
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6919
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6920
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6921
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6922
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6923
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6924
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6925
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6926
 
6927
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6928
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6929
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6930
            --Option=(some_text)
6931
            --Option=[some_text]
6932
            --Option={some_text}
6933
 
6934
Internal Changes
6935
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6936
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6937
      code.
6938
 
6939
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6940
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6941
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6942
Major changes:
6943
    * JATS wrapper script
6944
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6945
 
6946
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6947
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6948
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6949
      other components.
6950
 
6951
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6952
 
6953
    * JATS
6954
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6955
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6956
 
6957
    * Build operations
6958
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6959
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6960
      packages.
6961
 
6962
    * Make operations
6963
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6964
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6965
 
6966
Minor changes:
6967
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6968
      deployment builds.
6969
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6970
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6971
 
6972
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6973
 
6974
    * build.pl
6975
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6976
        processed. Allows
6977
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6978
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6979
        production.
6980
 
6981
    * MOS toolset
6982
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6983
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6984
 
6985
    * create_dpkg utility
6986
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6987
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6988
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6989
      progress of the build.
6990
 
6991
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6992
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6993
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6994
      system.

6998
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6999
Major changes:
7000
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7001
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
7002
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
7003
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
7004
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
7005
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
7006
 
7007
    * WCEX86A500 target
7008
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
7009
 
7010
    * MOS Toolsets
7011
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
7012
      the compiler.
7013
 
7014
    * RunTest directive
7015
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
7016
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7017
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7018
 
7019
Minor changes:
7020
    * JATS BUILD
7021
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7022
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7023
      highlight bad settings.
7024
 
7025
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7026
      access to extensions.
7027
 
7028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7029
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7031
Major changes:
7032
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7033
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7034
 
7035
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7036
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7037
      under unix.
7038
 
7039
Minor changes:
7040
    * label utility
7041
      Added options to:
7042
        o Delete a label
7043
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7044
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7045
 
7046
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7047
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7048
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7049
      Package directives.
7050
 
7051
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7052
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7053
      system.
7054
 
7055
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7056
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7057
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7058
Major changes:
7059
    * MOS Toolset
7060
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7061
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7062
 
7063
    * WIN32 Toolset
7064
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7065
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7066
      list.
7067
 
7068
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7069
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7070
 
7071
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7072
 
7073
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7074
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7075
 
7076
 
7077
Minor changes:
7078
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7079
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7080
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7081
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7082
      corrected.
7083
 
7084
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7085
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7086
 
7087
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7088
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7089
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7090
 
7091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7092
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7093
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7094
Major changes:
7095
    * WIN32 Toolset
7096
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7097
      use with multithreaded modes.
7098
 
7099
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7100
      --OnlyProd.
7101
 
7102
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7103
      within the makefile.pl.
7104
 
7105
Minor changes:
7106
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7107
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7108
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7109
      platforms.
7110
 
7111
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7112
 
7113
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7114
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7115
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7116
Major changes:
7117
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7118
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7119
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7120
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7121
 
7122
    * Preliminary Support
7123
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7124
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7125
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7126
 
7127
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7128
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7129
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7130
 
7131
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7132
      building. The default build will build both.
7133
 
7134
Minor changes:
7135
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7136
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7137
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7138
 
7139
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7140
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7141
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7142
 
7143
 
7144
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7145
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7146
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7147
Major changes:
7148
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7149
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7150
      or all.
7151
 
7152
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7153
      the library or program.
7154
 
7155
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7156
 
7157
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7158
      library or any debug files.
7159
 
7160
    * GenerateFiles
7161
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7162
 
7163
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7164
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7165
 
7166
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7167
              The filename of the prereq file
7168
 
7169
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7170
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7171
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7172
 
7173
 
7174
Minor changes:
7175
    * create_dpkg utility
7176
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7177
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7178
      the package has been altered.
7179
 
7180
------------------------------------------------------------------------

7183
Major changes:
7184
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7185
      This is a WINCE target
7186
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7187
 
7188
    * New toolset
7189
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7190
 
7191
    * Modified toolset
7192
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7193
 
7194
    * Modified toolset
7195
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7196
 
7197
Minor changes:
7198
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7199
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7200
 
7201
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7202
 
7203
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7204
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7205
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7206
 
7207
      The change allows the construct
7208
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7209
      to be replaced by the simpler
7210
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7211
 
7212
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7213
      specified name.    
7214

7233
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7234
Major changes:
7235
    * The "package.pl" file.
7236
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7237
      package name being taken from the build name
7238
 
7239
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7240
      package Build Name.
7241
 
7242
Minor changes:
7243
    * create_dpkg utility
7244
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7245
 
7246

7249
Major changes:
7250
 
7251
Minor changes:
7252
    * Dependancy generator
7253
      Correct two common situations
7254
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7255
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7256
           ansi, but is often done.
7257
 
7258
    * GCC toolset
7259
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7260
      being created in the correct place.
7261
 
7262
    * jats "label"
7263
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7264
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7265
 
7266
 
7267
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7268
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7270
Major changes:
7271
 
7272
Minor changes:
7273
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7274
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7275
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7276
 
7277
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7278
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7279
 
7280
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7281
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7282
      package was not being transferred.
7283
 
7284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7285
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7287
Major changes:
7288
    * Support for solaris_i386
7289
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7290
      binaries for this target.
7291
 
7292
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7293
      with the GCC compiler.
7294
 
7295
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7296
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7297
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7298
 
7299
Minor changes:
7300
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7301
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7302
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7303
 
7304
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7305
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7306
 
7307
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7308
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7309
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7310
Major changes:
7311
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7312
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7313
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7314
 
7315
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7316
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7317
 
7318
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7319
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7320
      with either " or ' characters.
7321
 
7322
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7323
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7324
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7325
 
7326
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7327
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7328
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7329
 
7330
    * Jats wrapper
7331
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7332
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7333
      further commands.
7334
 
7335
Minor changes:
7336
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7337
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7338
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7339
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7340
 
7341
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7342
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7344
Major changes:
7345
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7346
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7347
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7348
 
7349
      These options operation affect all components within the
7350
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7351
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7352
 
7353
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7354
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7355
 
7356
Minor changes:

7359
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7360
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7361
Major changes:
7362
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7363
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7364
 
7365
Minor changes:
7366
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7367
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7368
 
7369
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7370
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7371
 
7372
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7373
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7374
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7375
Major changes:
7376
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7377
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7378
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7379
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7380
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7381
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7382
      installed.
7383
 
7384
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7385
      libraries that depend on each other.
7386
 
7387
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7388
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7389
 
7390
Minor changes:
7391
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7392
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7393
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7394
 
7395
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7396
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7397
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7398
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.

7401
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7402
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7403
Major changes:
7404
 
7405
Minor changes:
7406
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7407
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7408
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7409
      file.
7410
 
7411
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7412
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7413
 
7414
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7415
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7416
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7417
 
7418
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7419
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7420
 
7421
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7422
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7423
 
7424
    * WinCE toolsets
7425
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7426
      compiler specific libraries.
7427
 
7428
    * SOLARIS toolset
7429
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7430
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7431
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7432
 
7433
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7434
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7435
      cleaned up.
7436
 
7437
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7438
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7439
 
7440
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7441
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7442
      with either " or ' characters.
7443
 
7444
 
7445
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7446
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7447
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7448
Major changes:
7449
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7450
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7451
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7452
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7453
 
7454
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7455
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7456
 
7457
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7458
      user.
7459
 
7460
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7461
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7462
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7463
 
7464
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7465
      for the   -Gf option.
7466
 
7467
Minor changes:
7468
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7469
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7470
 
7471
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7472
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7473
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7474
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7475
 
7476
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7477
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7478
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7479
Major changes:
7480
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7481
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7482
 
7483
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7484
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7485
      data addresses for the board.
7486
 
7487
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7488
 
7489
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7490
 
7491
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7492
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7493
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7494
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7495
         PackageFile
7496
 
7497
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7498
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7499
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7500
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7501
 
7502
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7503
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7504
      to be installed and packaged.
7505
 
7506
Minor changes:
7507
 
7508
    * cache_dpkg utility
7509
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7510
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7511
 
7512
    * label utility
7513
      New option -auto to create and label
7514
 
7515
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7516
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7517
 
7518
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7519
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7520
      directory. ie:
7521
 
7522
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7523
 
7524
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7525
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7526
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7527
 
7528
 
7529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7530
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7531
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7532
Major changes:
7533
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7534
 
7535
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7536
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7537
 
7538
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7539
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7540
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7541
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7542
 
7543
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7544
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7545
      compilation.
7546
 
7547
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7548
 
7549
Minor changes:
7550
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7551
      one is being produced.
7552
 
7553
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7554
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7555
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7556
 
7557
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7558
 
7559
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7560
 
7561
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7562
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7563
 
7564
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7565
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7566
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7567
Major changes:
7568
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7569
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7570
 
7571
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7572
 
7573
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7574
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7575
      same directory
7576
 
7577
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7578
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7579
      documenattion.
7580
 
7581
Minor changes:
7582
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7583
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7584
 
7585
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7586
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7587
 
7588
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7589
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7590
 
7591
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7592
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7593
 
7594
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7595
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7596
      be exempt from this test.
7597
 
7598
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7599
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7600
 
7601
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7602
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7603
 
7604
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7605
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7606
      does.
7607
 
7608
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7609
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7610
 
7611
 
7612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7613
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7614
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7615
Major changes:
7616
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7617
 
7618
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7619
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7620
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7621
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7622
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7623
 
7624
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7625
      operations.
7626
 
7627
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7628
 
7629
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7630
 
7631
Minor changes
7632
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7633
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7634
 
7635
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7636
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7637
      directory is not added to the library path.
7638
 
7639
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7640
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7641
 
7642
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7643
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7644
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7645
 
7646
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7647
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7648
      specific flags.
7649
 
7650
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7651
 
7652
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7653
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7654
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7655
 
7656
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7657
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7658
      JATS.
7659
 
7660
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7661
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7662
 
7663
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7664
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7665
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7666
 
7667
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7668
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7669
 
7670
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7671
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7672
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7673
 
7674
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7675
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7676
 
7677
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7678
 
7679
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7680
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7681
 
7682
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7683
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7684
      objects.
7685
 
7686
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7687
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7688
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7689
      build defendants.
