782
 
4688 dpurdie 783
    * EnvVars
784
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
785

786
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
787
 
788
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
789
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
790

791
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
792
 
793
    * Jats caching
794
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
795
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

819
Minor changes:
820
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
821
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
822
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
823
 
824
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
825
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
826
 
827
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
828
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
829
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
830
 
831
    * Jats Internal: Database access
832

Major changes:
1117
 
1118
Minor changes:
1119
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1120
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1121
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1122
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1123
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1124
 
1125
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1126
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

Major changes:
1132
 
1133
Minor changes:
1134
    * Utility: update_release
1135
      Added options:
1136
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1137
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1138
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1139
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1140
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1141
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1142
 
1143
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1144
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
1145
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
1146
 
1147
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
1148
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
1149

Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
1152
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1153
Major changes:
1154
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1155
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1156
      intended to build deployed software.
1157
 
1158
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1159
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1160
 
1161
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1162
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1163
 
1164
Minor changes:
1165
    * Jats wrapper script
1166
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1167
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1168
      Subversion instance of the command.
1169
 
1170
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1171
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1172
 
1173
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1174
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1175
 
1176
    * Utility: jats upddep
1177
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1178
      file under windows.
1179
 
1180
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1181
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1182
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1183
 
1184
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1185
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1186
 
1187
    * GCC Toolchain
1188
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.
1189

                            fail to daemon build
1196
      Create shorter viewnames when extracting Subversion workspace

3832 dpurdie 1203
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1204
Major changes:
1205
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1206
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1207
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1208
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1209
 
1210
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1211
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1219
      family
3559 dpurdie 1220
 
1221
Minor changes:
1222
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1223
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1224
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1225
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1226
      line.
1227
 
1228
    * Jats Configuration
1229
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1230
 
1231
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1232
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1233
      and Linux.
1234
 
1235
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1236
      correctly rippled.

1241
Major changes:
1242
 
1243
Minor changes:
1244
    * Jats Core
1245
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1246
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1247
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1248
 
1249
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1250
      Used only by the build daemons.
1251
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1252
 
1253
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1254
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1255
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
1256

1259
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1260
Major changes:
1261
 
1262
Minor changes:
1263
    * svnrelease utility
1264
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1265
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1266
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1267
 
1268
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1269
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1270
      the named tag.
1271
 
1272
    * svnrelease utility
1273
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1274
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
1284
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
1285
        covered by the makefile.
1286
 
1287
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1288
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1289
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1290
 
1291
    * ALL Toolsets
1292
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1293
 
1294
    * Utility vcsdiff
1295
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1296
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1297
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

1302
Major changes:
1303
 
1304
Minor changes:
1305
    * Subversion Extraction
1306
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1307
      directory of the tag.
1308
 
1309
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1310
      repository.
1311
 
1312
    * Subversion Support
1313
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1314
      showing the user what to do.
1315
 
1316
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1317
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1318
      we have build support for this target.
1319
 
1320
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1321
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1322
 
1323
Internal:
1324
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1325
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1326
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1327
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

1341
Major changes:
1342
 
1343
Minor changes:
1344
    * Makefile generation
1345
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1346
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1347
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1348
      of warnings.
1349
 
1350
    * Makefile Generation
1351
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
1352
 
1353

1354
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1360
Major changes:
1361
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1362
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1363
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1364
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1365
 
1366
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1367
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1368
      windows path scheme.
1369
 
1370
Minor changes:
1371
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1372
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1373
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1374
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1375
 
1376
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1377
        jats make clobber
1378
      This operates as before.
1379
 
1380
    * Utility: escrow
1381
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1382
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1383
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1384
 
1385
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1386
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1387
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1388
 
1389
    * Utility: svn : url
1390
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1391
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1392
 
1393
    * Utility: svn : import
1394
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1395
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1396
 
1397
    * Subversion Support
1398
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1399
      showing the user what to do.
1400
 
1401
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1402
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1403
      repositories.

1408
 
1409
Minor changes:
1410
    * Jats build
1411
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1412
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1413
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1414
 
1415
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1416
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 1417

1426
      Added two subcommands
1427
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1428
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1429
                 Can also display available branches.
1430
 
2054 dpurdie 1431
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
1432

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
1437
 
1438
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1439
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1440
      Modified two options:
1441
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1442
                        The named branch must not exist
1443
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1444
                        The named branch must exist
1445
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

1479
 
1480
Major changes:
1481
    * Jats Version Number
1482
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

1500
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
1501
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1502
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1503
 
1504
Minor changes:
1505
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1506
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1507
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1508
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1509
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1510
 
1511
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1512
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1513
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1514
 
1515
    * Linux support utilities
1516
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
1517

1522
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1523
Major changes:
1524
    * Subversion Repository location
1525
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1526
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1527
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1528
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
1529
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1530
 
1531
Minor changes:
1532
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1533
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1534
 
1535
    * Utility: svnrelease
1536
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1537
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1538
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1539
 
1540
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1541
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1542
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1543
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1544
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1545
 
1546
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1547
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1548
 
1549
    * Utility: sandbox
1550
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
1551
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1552
 
1553
      Subcommand: populate
1554
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1555
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1556
      sandbox.
1557
 
1558
    * Subversion Support
1559
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1560
      repository is not supported.
1561
 
1562
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1563
      a progress indication.
1564
 
1565
    * Jats Online Documentation
1566
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1567
      online documentation.
1568
 
1569
    * Generated makefiles
1570
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 1619
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1620
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
1621
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
1622
 
1623
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 1624

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1647
Major changes:
1648
 
1649
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1650
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1651
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1652
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1653
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1654
 
1655
    * C# Toolchain
1656
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

1666
 
1667
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
1668
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
1669
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1670
 
1671
    * Utility ccrelease
1672
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1673
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1674
 
1675
    * Utility: svn
1676
      Improved package import processing.
1677
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

1704
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1705
Major changes:
1706
 
1707
Minor changes:
1708
    * Command: jats clobber
1709
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1710
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1711
 
1712
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1713
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1714
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1715
 
1716
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1717
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1718
 
377 dpurdie 1719
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1720
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1721
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1722
 
1723
    * jats svnlabel
1724
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1725
 
1726
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1727
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1728
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1729
 
1730
    * Built Daemon support
1731
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1732
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1733

373 dpurdie 1735
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
1736
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1737
Major changes:
1738
    * GCC Toolset
1739
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1740
      New methodology is:
1741
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1742
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1743
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1744
        as the main binary.
1745
 
1746
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1747
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1748
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1749
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1750
      both worlds.
1751
 
1752
Minor changes:
1753
    * HTML Documentation
1754
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1755
 
1756
Internal changes:
1757
    * Generated makefiles
1758
      Removed the make_usage target as it is inaccessible. It was replaced by
1759
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.
1760

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1764
Major changes:
1765
    * Jats Sandbox
1766
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1767
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1768
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1769
 
1770
    * RIORDS Platform
1771
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
1772

      Platform is RIORDS. This uses the MSP430 toolchain.
369 dpurdie 1790
      Beta release of this toolchain
1791
 
1792
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
1793
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
1794
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
1795
 
1796
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1797
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1798
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1799
      a vob.
1800
 
1801
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

1811
        paths - Display Subversion tag to URL conversions
1812
        tag   - Convert a path or URL to a Release Manager Tag
1813
        url   - Convert Release Manager tag to URL
1814
 
1815
    * COBRA Toolset
1816
      Suppress compiler warning on incompatible ABI
1817
 
1818
    * Create dpkg utility
1819
      Allows packaging from a sandbox, but only of package versions 99.99.99

    * HTML Help
1884
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1885
 
1886
    * jats build -noforce
1887
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1888
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1889
      be forced.
1890
 
1891
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1892
 
1893
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1894
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1895
 
1896
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1897
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1898
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1899
 
1900
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1901
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1902
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1903
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1904

    * Utility: svnrelease
1906
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1907

      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1914
      installed and can be used.

1916
    * Toolset: CSharp
1917
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1918
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1919
      character.
1920
 
1921
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1922
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1923
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1924
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1925
      masking an error.
1926
 
1927
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1928
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1929
      enhancement.

1939
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1940
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1941
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.

1943
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1944
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1945
      packages.
1946
 
1947
    * make command: show
1948
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1949
      'jats make show' command.
1950
 
1951
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1952
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1953
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.

2270
 
2271
Minor changes:
2272
    * Jats sandbox command
2273
      The 'info' subcommand will highlight external packages that cannot be
2274

2295
Minor changes:
2296
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
2297
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
2298
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
2299
      resulting in multiple builds.
2300
 
2301
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
2302
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
2303
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
2304
 
2305
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
2306
 
2307
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2308
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
2309
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2314
Major changes:
2315
 
2316
Minor changes:
2317
    * Jats label command
2318
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2319
      Not recommended for general use.
2320
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2321
      directories within the current view.
2322
 
2323
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2324
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2325
      elsewhere.
2326
 
2327
    * Jats save_build
2328
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2329
      the determination of a branch.
2330
 
2331
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2332
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2333
 
2334
    * Jats build
2335
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2336
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2337
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2338
 
2339
    * Borland6 toolset
2340
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2341
      to match the documented install location of:
2342
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2343
 
2344
    * Jats build
2345
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2346
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2347
      This is a very quick operation.
2348
 
2349
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2350
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2351
 
2352
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2353
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2354
      files are only recreated if need be.
2355
 
2356
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2357
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2358
      make the package.
2359
 
2360
    * Jats sandbox
2361
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2362
 
2363
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2364
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2365
 
2366
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2367
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2368
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2369
      is performed.
2370
 
2371
Internal:
2372
    * build.pl
2373

2407
Minor changes:
2408
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2409
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2410
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2411
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2412
 
2413
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2414
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2415
 
2416
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2417
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2418
      platform builds.
2419
 
2420
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2421
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2422
      directory tree.
2423
 
2424
    * New command: jats man
2425
      Produces full help on a specified item.
2426
 
2427
Internal changes:
2428
    * jats upddep
2429
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
2430
 
2431
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
2432
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined

2437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2438
Major changes:
2439
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2440
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2441
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2442
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2443
 
2444
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2445
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2446
 
2447
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2448
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2449
 
2450
      Examples:
2451
            jats upddep -show
2452
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2453
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2454
 
2455
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2456
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2457
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2458
 
2459
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2460
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2461
 
2462
Minor changes:
2463
 
2464
Internal changes:
2465
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

2470
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2471
Major changes:
2472
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2473
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2474
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2475
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2476
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2477
      stream.
2478
 
2479
      Example:
2480
 
2481
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2482
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2483
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2484
                     );
2485
Minor changes:
2486
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2487
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2488
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2489
      directive.
2490
 
2491
    * GCC Toolkit
2492
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2493
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2494
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2495
      the point of termination.
2496
 
2497
    * Jats save_build utility
2498
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2499
      under windows.
2500
 
2501
    * Jats sandbox
2502
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2503
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2504
      in different sandboxes.
2505
 
2506
    * Jats release
2507
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2508

    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2516
      Added -locatedir=name
2517
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2518
      directory.
2519
 
2520
    * jats label utility
2521
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2522
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2523
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2524
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2525
 
2526
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2527

317 dpurdie 2532
 
2533
Minor changes:
2534
    * WinCe Toolsets
2535
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2536
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2537
        noExceptions            - Disable
2538
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2539
      Example:
2540
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2541
 
2542
    * Solaris targets
2543
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2544
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2545
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2546
      machine type.
2547
 
2548

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
2550
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2551
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2552
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2553
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2554
      project files.
2555
 
2556
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2557
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2558
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2559
 
2560
Minor changes:
2561
    * Added more internal documentation
2562
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2563
 
2564
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2565
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2566
 
2567
    * Jats save_build utility
2568
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2569
      under windows.
2570
 
2571
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2572
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2573
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2574
      libraries.
2575
 
2576
    * Solaris builds
2577
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2578
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2579
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2580
      of the build failure.
2581
 
2582
 
2583
Internal changes:
2584
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2585
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2586
 
2587
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2588
      PkgArchive topics.

2595
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2596
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2597
      existing 32-bit builds.
2598
 
2599
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

2604
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2605
 
2606
    * Package searching
2607
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2608
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2609
 
2610
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2611
 
2612
    * jats help
2613
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2614
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2615
 
2616
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2617
      with one of:
2618
        jats -h

Major changes:
2641
 
2642
Minor changes:
2643
 
2644
Internal changes
2645
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2646
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2647
      Useful side effects include:
2648
 
2649
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2650
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2651
 
2652
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2653
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2654
 
2655
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2656
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2657
        BuildPkgArchive
2658
 
313 dpurdie 2659
    * Perl Modules
2660
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2661
      release. This will:
2662
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2663
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2664
          reported by ERG.
2665
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

2670
Major changes:
2671
 
2672
Minor changes:
2673
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2674
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2675
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2676
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2677
 
2678
    * Jats label utility
2679
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2680
 
2681
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2682
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2683
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2684
 
2685
    * Jats core
2686
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2687
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2688
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
2697
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2698
      This is now fixed.
2699
 
309 dpurdie 2700
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2701
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2702
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2703
 
2704
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2705
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
2714
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2715
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2716
      an error.
2717
 
2718
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2719
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2720
 
2721
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2722
      Highly specialized directive.

2728
Major changes:
2729
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2730
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2731
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2732
 
2733
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2734
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2735
 
2736
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2737
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2738
      Support includes
2739
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2740
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2741
 
2742
Minor changes:
2743
    * Build file processing
2744
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2745
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2746
 
2747
    * MOS builds
2748
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2749
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2750
 
2751
    * MOS builds
2752
      New 'known' product: PICP
2753
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2754
 
2755
    * GenerateFiles directive
2756
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2757
        under windows.
2758
 
2759
        .
2760
 
2761
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2762
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2763
 
2764
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2765
      to the output stream.
2766
 
2767
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2768
 
2769
    * Windows Shell
2770
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2771
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2772
 
2773
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2774
 
2775
    * H8S toolset
2776
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2777
 
2778
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2779
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2780
 
2781
Internal changes
2782
    * WinCe builds
2783
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2784
      content of the file.
2785
 
2786
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2787
 
2788
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2789
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

2801
Major changes:
2802
 
2803
Minor changes:
2804
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2805
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2806
      Changes are transparent to users.
2807
 
2808
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2809
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2810
      this occurs.
2811
 
2812
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2813
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2814
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2815
      automated build framework.
2816
 
2817
    * jats sandbox command
2818
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2819
      'create' command.
2820
 
2821
    * jats command aliases. Added
2822
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2823

2828
Major changes:
2829
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2830
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2831
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2832
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2833
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2834
      will work as expected
2835
 
2836
Minor changes:
2837
    * VS2008 Toolset
2838
      Picking up incorrect config details
2839
      May result in a warning message.
2840
 
2841
    * gen_cots utility
2842
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2843
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2844
 
2845
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2846
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
2847
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2894
Major changes:
2895
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2896
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2897
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2898
 
2899
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2900
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2901
 
2902
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2903
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2904
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2905
           names cannot be changed.
2906
 
2907
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2908
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2909
 
2910
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2911
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2912
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2913
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2914
 
2915
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2916
      file.
2917
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2918
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2919
      MyPackage.dpk.
2920
 
2921
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2922
      file.
2923
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2924
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2925
      MyDll.dpr.
2926
 
2927
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2928
      file.
2929
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2930
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2931
      MyProg.dpr.
2932
 
2933
Minor changes:
2934
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2935
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2936
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2937
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2938
 
2939
    * BuildVersion directive
2940
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2941
      in a Delphi Unit.
2942
 
2943
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2944
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2945
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2946
      'know' the location of the files.
2947
 
2948
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2949
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2950
 
2951
Internal Changes:
2952
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2953
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2954
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2955
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2956
 
2957
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2958
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2959
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2964
Major changes:
2965
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2966
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2967
      information for purely C++ builds.
2968
 
289 dpurdie 2969
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2970
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2971
 
289 dpurdie 2972
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2973
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2974
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2975
 
2976
Minor changes:
2977
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2978
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2979
 
2980
    * updatenodespec utility
2981
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2982
      Manager database.

3018
Minor changes:
3019
    * New command: jats make show
3020
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
3021
      used in the build.
3022
 
3023
    * Escrow command
3024
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
3025
 
3026
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
3027
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3028
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3029
 
3030
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3031
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

3036
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3037
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3038
 
279 dpurdie 3039
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3040
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3041
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3042
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3043
 
3044
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3045
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3046
 
3047
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3048
 
3049
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3050
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3051
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3052
 
3053
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3054
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3055
        processed.
3056
 
3057
      Removed the '-delete' option
3058
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3059
 
277 dpurdie 3060
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3061
    * Sandbox command
3062
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3063
 
3064
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3065
      target from consideration in the build set.
3066
 
3067
    * MCR Toolset
3068
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3069
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3070
 
3071
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3072
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3073
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3074
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3075
 
3076
    * Jats run_test command
3077
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3078
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3079
 
3080
    * descpkg file
3081
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3082
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3083
 
3084
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3085
     Now contains build trace information
3086
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3087
 
3088
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3089
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3090
     it contains 'jar' files.
3091
 
3092
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3093
 
3094
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3095
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3096
 
3097
   * BuildVersion directive
3098
     Form:
3099
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3100
     now works as expected.
3101
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3102
 
3103
Internal Changes:
3104
 
3105
    * Error reporting mechanism
3106
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to

3119
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
3120
    then starts.
3121
 
3122
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3123
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
3124
 
3125
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
3126
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3127
    non-platform option.
3128
 
279 dpurdie 3129
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
3268
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3269
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3270
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

3293
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3294
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3295
 
3296
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
3297
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward

      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
3390
      programs.
3391
 
3392
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
3393
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

3403
      This is the first version that supports Windows 2003 server.
3404
 
3405
      After discovering that several operations are not fully function under
3406
      Perl 5.6.1 the minimum version of Active State Perl that is required has
3407
      been increased.
3408

3417
      Extended to allow all ClearCase specific operations to be removed
3418
      from the Build Daemons.
3419
 
3420
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
3421
 
3422
      Suggested new usage:
3423
        jats etool jats_save_build
3424
                        -pname=xxxx
3425
                        -pversion=yyyy

Minor changes:
3433
    * JATS make: Merge Library Operation [DEVI-049475]
3434
      Fixed such that Library Merge operations don't delete other build

3439
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
3440
 
3441
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
3442
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
3443
      time.
3444
 
3445
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
3446
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."
3447

    * Build file directive: BuildPkgArchive
3458
      Extended list of supported directories to include 'wsdl'.
3459
 
3460
Internal Changes:
3461
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
3462
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3463
      Previously was being done at two places
3464
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3465
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3466
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
3467
 
3468
    * JATS make: Command line
3469
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
3470
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
3471
 
3472
      It didn't work on all platforms.
3473
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
3474
 
3475
    * JATS command line
3476
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
3477
      to allow:
3478
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
3479
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
3480
        + Consistent use of option parsing
3481
 
3482
    * JATS makefile generation
3483
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
3484
      Improved readability of the generation process
3485
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
3486
      Removed dead code
3487
      Improved the creation of Progs
3488
 
3489
    * JATS error reporting
3490
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
3491
      problems.
3492
 
3493
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG
3494
      environment variables where the 'tag' contains a space.
3495
 
3496
    * Assorted Perl files
3497
      Minor corrected after running Perl Syntax check over JATS files.
3498
 
3499
    * Made the use of IFLAGS uniform for all JATS toolsets
3500
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
3501
      makefiles
3502
 
3503
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
3504
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
3505
 
3506
    * FileUtils package.
3507
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
3508
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
3509
      Used functions within JATS.

257 dpurdie 3522
Major changes:
3523
 
3524
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
3525
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3526
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3527
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3528
 
3529
Minor changes:
3530
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3531
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
3532
 
3533
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
3534
      some windows tools.

3538
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3539
Major changes:
3540
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
3541
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3542
 
3543
      New platforms:
3544
        CSHARP2005
3545
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3546
         Support extends to allow:
3547
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3548
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3549
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3550
 
3551
        VS2005
3552
         Support extends to allow:
3553
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3554
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3555
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3556
 
3557
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3558
      through a version selector:
3559
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3560
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3561
 
3562
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3563
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3564
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3565
 
3566
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3567
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3568
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3569
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3570
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3571
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3572
          under VS2005.
3573
 
3574
Minor changes:
3575
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
3576
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
3577
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
3578
 
3579
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3580
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3581
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3582
 
3583
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3584
 
3585
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3586
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3587
 
3588
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3589
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3590
      a minimal value of perl.
3591
 
3592
      Removed excessive require statements.
3593
 
3594
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3595
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3596
      Include JATS specific files for
3597
        1) Windows
3598
        2) Linux
3599
 
3600
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3601
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3602
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3603
      machines.
3604
 
3605
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3606
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3607
 
3608
    * JATS Environment
3609
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3610
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3611
 
3612
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3613
      wrapper scripts.
3614
 
3615
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3616
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3617
      Spell check help and code.

    * Jats utility: release [DEVI-047291]
3626
      A race condition within clearcase will cause a view to fail during
3627

3638
 
3639
    * GCC Toolset
3640
      Correct the operation of the assembler interface to 'gas' such that
3641
      options are passed correctly.
3642
 
3643
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
3644
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
3645
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
3646
      was added.
3647
 
3648
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
3649
      reviewing a new package.
3650
 
3651
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3652
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
3653
      automatically included in the source file list.
3654
 
253 dpurdie 3655
    * Toolset updates

3668
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
3669
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3670
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3671
  * New toolset and platform
3672
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3673
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3674
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3675
    this platform.
3676
 
3677
Minor changes:
3678
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3679
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3680
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3681
    work.
3682
 
3683
  * Jats utility: release
3684
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3685
    published to dpkg_archive.
3686
 
249 dpurdie 3687
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3688
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3689
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3690
    supported for ANT builds.
3691
 
3692
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3693
        releasemanager.releasename
3694
        releasemanager.projectname
3695
 
3696
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3697
    tagged data item of the form
3698
 
3699
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3700
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3701
 
3702
  * Mug File Generation
3703
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3704
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3705
 
3706
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3707
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3708
    required.
3709
 
3710
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3711
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3712
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3713
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3714
    the files in order to use them.
3715
 
3716
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3717
    locate the file.
3718
 
3719
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3720
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3721
 
3722
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3723
        * CSharp
3724
        * Properties
3725
        * WinRC
3726
 
3727
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3728
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3729
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3730
    Value is correctly assigned.
3731

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
3734
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3735
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3736
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3737
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3738
 
3739
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3740
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3741
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3742
 
3743
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3744
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3745
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3746
 
3747
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3748
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3749
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3750
 
3751
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3752
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3753
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3754
    correct.
3755
 
3756
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3757
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3758
 
3759
Minor changes:
3760
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3761
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3762
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3763
 
3764
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3765
    This will simplify new user setup.
3766
 
3767
  * All Unix Toolsets
3768
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3769
    on unix systems
3770
 
3771
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3772
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3773
    on some Solaris Machines.
3774
 
3775
  * JATS -version=<version>
3776
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3777
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3778
 
3779

3935
    * MOS Compiler
3936
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3937
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3938
 
3939
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3940
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3941
      descpkg files to be copied.
3942
 
3943
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
3944
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3979
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3980
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3981
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3982
 
3983
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3984
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3985
 
3986
    * Jats wrapper
3987
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3988
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3989

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3993
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3994
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3995
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3996
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3997
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3998
 
3999
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
4000
 
4001
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
4002
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
4003
 
4004
    * Running Jats
4005
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
4006
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
4007
      This may affect some windows developers.
4008
 
4009
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
4010
      Future versions will generate an error.
4011
 
4012
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
4013
 
4014
Minor changes:
4015
    * Perl Version Check
4016
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
4017
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
4018
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
4019
 
4020
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
4021
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
4022
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
4023
      build.
4024
 
4025
    * Jats Internals
4026
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4027
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4028
 
4029
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4030
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4031
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4032
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4033
      process.
4034
 
4035
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4036
      Only works under Windows.
4037
 
4038
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4039
 
4040
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4041
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4042
 
4043
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4044
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4045
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4046
 
4047
    * Jats eprog
4048
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4049
      directory.
4050
 
4051
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4052
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4053
      build metrics.
4054
 
4055

4058
Major changes:
4059
 
4060
Minor changes:
4061
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4062
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4063
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4064
      automated build system. New options are:
4065
        -pname=Package_Name
4066
        -pversion=Package_Version
4067
 
4068
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4069
      transferring the package. New options are:
4070
        -test
4071
 
4072
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4073
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4074
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4075
 
4076
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4077
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4078
 
4079
    * Solaris Toolset
4080
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4081
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4082
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4087
Major changes:
4088
 
4089
Minor changes:
4090
    * WINCE toolsets
4091
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4092
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4093
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4094
      when header files cannot be found.
4095
 
4096
    * GenerateFiles directive
4097
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4098
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4099
      that are difficult to solve.
4100
 
4101
    * MakePerlModule directive
4102
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4103
      to the the module builder.
4104
 
4105
    * Jats Tool: label
4106
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4107
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4108
      -dirs=xxx options.
4109
 
4110
    * Jats Tool: release
4111
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4112
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4113
 
4114
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4115
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4116
 
4117
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4118
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4119
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4120
 
4121
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4141
    * make clean up
4142
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4143
 
4144
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4145
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4146
      minor file transformations such as:
4147
        Copy, with optional rename
4148
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings

4182
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4183
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4184
 
4185
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4186
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4187
 
4188
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4189
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4190
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4191
 
4192
    * jats_rewrite utility
4193
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4194
 
4195
    * jats escrow utility
4196
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4197
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4198
 
4199
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4200
      inconsistent packages.
4201
 
4202
    * jats make help
4203
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4204
      available within the current build.
4205
 
4206
    * jats makefiles
4207
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4208
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4209
 
4210
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4211
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4212
 
4213
    * gcc toolset
4214
      SharedLibries.
4215
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4216
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4217
 
4218
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4219
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4220
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4221
 
4222
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4223
        New options:
4224
            --MultiScan
4225
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4226
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4227
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4235
Minor changes:
4236
    PackageLib directive
4237
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4238
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4239
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4240
 
4241
    MakefileGenerate directive
4242
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4243
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4244
 
4245
    Multiple Parent detection
4246
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4247
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4248
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4249
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4250
 
4251
    Solaris Toolset
4252
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4253
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4254
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4255
    link.
4256
 
4257
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4258
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4259
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4260
 
4261
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4262
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4263
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4264
    file.

Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
4268
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4269
Major changes:
4270
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4271
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4272
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4273
 
4274
    Summary of changes:
4275
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4276
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4277
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4278
          flexibility.
4279
 
4280
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4281
 
4282
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4283
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4284
          interface directory and associated build information.
4285
 
4286
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4287
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4288
          than one second.
4289
 
4290
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4291
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4292
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4293
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4294
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4295
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4296
 
4297
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4298
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4299
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4300
 
4301
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4302
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4303
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4304
          building them.
4305
 
4306
        - Detection of build file changes
4307
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4308
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4309
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4310
 
4311
        - Quieter make output
4312
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4313
 
4314
 
4315
Minor changes:
4316
    MakeAnt Directive
4317
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4318
 
4319
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4320
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4321
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4322
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4323
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4324
 
4325
    CSHARP toolset
4326
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4327

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4335
    are generated.
4336
 
4337
    MakeAnt
4338
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4339
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4340
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4341
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4342

    New option: --PackageBase
4355
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4356
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4357
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4358
 
4359
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4360
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4361
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4362
        package image being created.

4382
 
4383
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4384
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4385
 
4386
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4387
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4388
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4389
 
4390
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4391
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4392
    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
4422
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4423
 
4424
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4425
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4426
      last.
4427
 
4428
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4429
 
4430
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4431
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4432
 
4433
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4434
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4435
 
4436
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4437
 
4438
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4439
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4440
 
4441
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4442
 
4443
 
4444
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4445
           with the --System option

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4469
Major changes:
4470
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4471
 
4472
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4473
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4474
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4475
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4476
      path.
4477
 
4478
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4479
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4480
      reproducible.
4481
 
4482
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4483
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4484
 
4485
      There are several aspects to the change
4486
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4487
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4488
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4489
 
4490
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4491
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4492
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4493
          controlled separately.
4494
 
4495
Minor changes:
4496
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4497
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4498
        Remove duplicates
4499
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH

Minor changes:
4507
    * Makefile sanity test
4508
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4509
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4510
 
4511
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4512
      x86 machine.
4513
 
4514
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4515
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4520
Major changes:
4521
    * RunTest directive
4522
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4523
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4524
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4525
 
4526
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4527
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4528
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4529
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4530
 
4531
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4532
        builder within the current toolset.
4533
 
4534
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4535
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4536
 
4537
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4538
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4539
      containing the RunTest directive.
4540
 
4541
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4542
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4543
 
4544
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4545
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4546
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4547
 
4548
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4549
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4550
                            P or D suffix.
4551
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4552
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4553
 
4554
Minor changes:
4555
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4556
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4557
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4558
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4559
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4560
 
4561
    * Save Build Utility
4562
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4563
      used in a ripple build.
4564
 
4565
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4566
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4567
 
4568
    * Release Utility
4569
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4570
      when an error is encountered.
4571
 
4572
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4573
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4574
 
4575
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4576
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4577
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4578
 
4579
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4580
      before the makefiles are created.
4581
 
4582
    * TestProg directive
4583
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4584
 
4585
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4586
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4587

4589
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
4590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4591
Major changes:
4592
    * New build target
4593
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4594
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4595
 
4596
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4597
            DEVLINUX
4598
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4599
 
4600
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4601
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4602
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4603
 
4604
Minor changes:
4605
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4606
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4607
 
4608
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4609
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4610
 
4611
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4612
      and .cs files.
4613
 
4614
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4615
      thing.
4616
 
4617
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4618
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4619
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4620
      were it places temp files.
4621
 
4622
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4623
      interaction with other builds.
4624
 
4625
    * Release utility command
4626
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4627
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4628
      component in the clearcase tag name.

4631
Version: JATS_2.66.0                                Released: 27-Jun-07
4632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4633
Major changes:
4634
  * Support for building CSHARP code
4635
    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
4636
 
4637
    Supports the handling of .resx files
4638
 
4639
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
4640
    libraries
4641
 
4642
Minor changes:
4643
  * Unit Tests
4644
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
4645
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4646
 
4647
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
4648
    as a Script.

Major changes:
4677
 
4678
Minor changes:
4679
  * WINCE Support
4680
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4681
 
4682
  * Removed the following targets
4683
        TP5600
4684
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4685
        TP5600_EMU
4686
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4687
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4688
 
4689
  * Deployment
4690
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4691
 
4692
  * build.pl
4693
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4694
 
4695
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4696
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4697
 
4698
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4699
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4700
    build.
4701
 
4702
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4703
 
4704
  * Tool: escrow
4705
     New features
4706
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4707
     are not in the SBOM.
4708
 
4709
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4710
 
4711
     Specify packages to be ignored.
4712
 
4713
 
4714
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4715
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
4716
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4717
Major changes:
4718
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4719
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4720
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4721
 
4722
  * GenerateFiles
4723
    Added the options:
4724
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4725
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4726
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4727
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4728
 
4729
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4730
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4731
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4732
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4733
                                  required.
4734
 
4735
 
4736
Minor changes:
4737
  * GenerateFile directive
4738
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4739
 
4740
  * GCC Toolset
4741
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4742
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4743
    be rebuilt.
4744
 
4745
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4746
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4747
 
4748
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4749
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4750
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4751
Major changes:
4752
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4753
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4754
    environment variables.
4755
 
4756
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4757
            moved.
4758
 
4759
    This will affect users that:
4760
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4761
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4762
 
4763
        2) Use the ABT system
4764
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4765
           the required configuration
4766
 
4767
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4768
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4769
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4770
    Windows
4771
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 4772
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
4773
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4774
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 4775
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 4776
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
4777
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4778
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 4779
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4780
 
4781
 
4782
  * New build platforms
4783
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4784
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4785
 
4786
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4787
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4788
 
4789
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4790
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4791
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4792
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4793
 
4794
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4795
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4796
    release.
4797
 
4798
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4799
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4800
 
4801
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4802
    need to be converted.
4803
 
4804
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4805
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4806
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4807
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4808
    used for different targets platforms.
4809
 
4810
  * Sandbox support
4811
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4812
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4813
 
4814
    New command: jats sandbox ...
4815
 
4816
Minor changes:
4817
 
4818
 
4819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4820
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4821
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4822
Major changes:
4823
  * MakeAnt directive
4824
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4825
 
4826
    New options
4827
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4828
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4829
 
4830
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4831
    run_unit_tests phase.
4832
 
4833
  * Sandbox support
4834
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4835
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4836
 
4837
Minor changes:
4838
  * jats build
4839
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4840
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4841
 
4842
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4843
 
4844
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4845
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4846
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4847
 
4848
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4849
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4850
 
4851
  * JATS.BAT
4852
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4853
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4854
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4855
 
4856
  * jats label
4857
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4858
 
4859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4860
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4861
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4862
Major changes:
4863
  * New build platform:
4864
        LMOS_TP5600
4865
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4866
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4867
 
4868
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4869
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4870
    describe the group of platforms.
4871
 
4872
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4873
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4874
    build these targets.
4875
 
4876
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4877
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4878
 
4879
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4880
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4881
 
4882
  * New build platform: WINCE
4883
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4884
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4885
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4886
 
4887
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4888
            WCEIT3000
4889
            WCEPA961
4890
            WCEPA962
4891
            WCEPCM7220
4892
            WCEPSION_420
4893
            WCEPSPC_arm
4894
            WCEPSPC_emu
4895
            WCEX86A420
4896
            WCEX86A500
4897
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4898
 
4899
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4900
 
4901
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4902
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4903
    that contain packaging directives.
4904
 
4905
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4906
    very unusual configurations.
4907
 
4908
Minor changes:
4909
  * Directive: PackageFile
4910
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4911
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4912
    an '='.
4913
 
4914
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4915
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4916
 
4917
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4918
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4919
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4920
 
4921
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4922
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4923
 
4924
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4925
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4926
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4927
Major changes:
4928
 
4929
  * JATS release command
4930
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4931
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4932
 
4933
    Rules are:
4934
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4935
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4936
                            File will be placed on a branch
4937
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4938
                            New directory will branch
4939
 
4940
Minor changes:
4941
  * JATS release command
4942
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4943
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4944
 
4945
  * JATS label command
4946
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4947
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4948
 
4949
  * JATS make
4950
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4951
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4952
    was re-packaged.
4953
 
4954
  * JATS escrow
4955
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4956
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4957
 
4958
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4959
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4960
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4961
 
4962
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4963
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4964
    interface directory.
4965
 
4966
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4967
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4968
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4969
    directory as seen by the package.
4970
 
4971
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4972
 
4973
  * JAVA 6
4974
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4975
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4976
 
4977
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4978
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4979
 
4980
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4981
 
4982
  * Jats command: vars
4983
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4984
    These indicate potential problems.
4985
 
4986
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4987
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4988
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4989
Major changes:
4990
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4991
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4992
    libarry is also created.
4993
 
4994
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4995
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4996
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4997
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4998
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4999
    information contained within the file.
5000
 
5001
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
5002
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
5003
 
5004
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
5005
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
5006
 
5007
  * Building Perl Modules
5008
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
5009
    documentation on the build machine.
5010
 
5011
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
5012
 
5013
Minor changes:
5014
  * jats create_dpkg
5015
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
5016
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
5017
 
5018
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5019
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
5020
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5021
Major changes:
5022
  * JATS JAVA build target
5023
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
5024
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5025
 
5026
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5027
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5028
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5029
    is then picked up as the default version.
5030
 
5031
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5032
    build.pl file.
5033
 
5034
Minor changes:
5035
  * jats release
5036
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5037
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5038
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5039
 
5040
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5041
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5042
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5043
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5044
    the name of the view.
5045
 
5046
  * GenerateFiles directive
5047
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5048
 
5049
  * MOS Toolset
5050
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5051
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5052
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5053
 
5054
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5055
 
5056
 
5057
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5058
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5060
Major changes:
5061
 
5062
Minor changes:
5063
  * JATS environment
5064
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5065
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5066
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5067
 
5068
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5069
 
5070
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5071
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5072
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5073
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5074
    to be packaged.
5075
 
5076
  * Generated makefiles
5077
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5078
 
5079
  * Generating MOS THX files
5080
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5081
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5082
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5083
 
5084
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5085
 
5086
  * JATS release
5087
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5088
 
5089
  * JATS extract
5090
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5091
 
5092
  * JATS Toolset
5093
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5094
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5095
 
5096
 
5097
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5098
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5099
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5100
Major changes:
5101
 
5102
Minor changes:
5103
  * jats label
5104
    Added a -vob=name option
5105
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5106
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5107
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5108
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5109
 
5110
    Added a -user=name option
5111
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5112
    label to the named user.
5113
 
5114
  * jats release
5115
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5116
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5117
 
5118
  * JATS build.pl
5119
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5120
    ie:
5121
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5122
 
5123
 
5124
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5125
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5126
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5127
Major changes:
5128
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5129
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5130
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5131
    the makefile internals. ie:
5132
        --Var(BuildName)
5133
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5134
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5135
 
5136
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5137
 
5138
  * GenerateFiles
5139
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5140
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5141
 
5142
  * BuildPlatforms
5143
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5144
 
5145
Minor changes:
5146
  * GCC Toolset
5147
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5148
 
5149
Internal changes:
5150
  * GenerateFiles
5151
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5152
 
5153
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5154
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5155
 
5156
 
5157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5158
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5160
Major changes:
5161
  * Caching JATS
5162
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5163
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5164
 
5165
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5166
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5167
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5168
 
5169
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5170
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5171
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5172
 
5173
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5174
 
5175
Minor changes:
5176
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5177
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5178
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5179
 
5180
  * jats build
5181
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5182
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5183
    processed by the build.
5184
 
5185
  * jats build
5186
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5187
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5188
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5189
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5190
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5191
 
5192
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5193
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5194
    Path is not specified.
5195
 
5196
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5197
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5198
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5199
        --Dir=$Pinc
5200
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5201
 
5202
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5203
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5204
    Windows platform.
5205
 
5206
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5207
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5208
            by 'purecov.
5209
 
5210
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5211
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5212
 
5213
        - OPTIONS=purify
5214
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5215
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5216
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5217

5220
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
5221
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5222
Major changes:
5223
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5224
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5225
    Example:
5226
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5227
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5228
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5229
 
5230
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5231
    been determined.
5232
 
5233
Minor changes:
5234
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5235
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5236
    located at build-time.
5237
 
5238
  * Unix based systems
5239
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5240
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5241
 
5242
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5243
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5244
    driver being built.
5245
 
5246
 
5247
------------------------------------------------------------------------

5252
 
5253
Minor changes:
5254
  * jats_rewrite tool
5255
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
5256
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
5257
 
5258
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5259
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5260
 
5261
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5262
    dependancy information within a package.
5263
 
5264
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5265
    messages.
5266
 
5267
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5268
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
5269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5270
Major changes:
5271
  * makefile.pl directives
5272
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
5273
 
5274
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5275
 
5276
    GenerateFiles.
5277
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5278
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5279
                      be run on every invocation.
5280
 
5281
 
5282
Minor changes:
5283
  * Added the jats version command
5284
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
5285
 
5286
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
5287
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5288
  There are two mechanism:
5289
 
5290
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5291
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5292
 
5293
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5294
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5295
 
5296
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5297
  default.
5298
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5299
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
5300

Version: JATS_2.60.0                                Released: 03-Nov-06
5303
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5304
Major changes:
5305
  * SunWorks Toolset
5306
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5307
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5308
    It is based on machine type.
5309
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5310
 
5311
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5312
 
5313
Minor changes:
5314
  * Perl DBI interface
5315
    Removed the message showing database connection
5316
 
5317
  * JATS internal library
5318
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
5319
 
5320
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5321
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
5322
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5323
Major changes:
5324
  * GCC Toolset
5325
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
5326
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
5327
    Removed the use of `uname`.
5328
 
5329
  * Added platforms
5330
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
5331
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5332
    TP5600_EMU
5333
 
5334
Minor changes:
5335
  * descpkg file reader
5336
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
5337
    field separator.
5338
 
5339
  * JATS eprog command
5340
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5341
 
5342
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5343
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5344
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5345
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5346
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5347
 
5348
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5349
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5350
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5351
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5352
 
5353
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.

Minor changes:
5369
  * JATS wrapper script
5370
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5371

5395
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5396
        no_misalign         - Default
5397
 
5398
        multithread         - Default

5416
    Theses are:
5417
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5418
        SOLARIS_AMD
5419
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5420
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5421

Major changes:
5434
 
5435
Minor changes:
5436
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5437
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5438
    messages
5439
 
5440
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5441
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5442
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5443
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5444
 
5445
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5446
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
5447
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5448
Major changes:
5449
 
5450
Minor changes:
5451
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5452
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5453
    library without creating the body of the library:
5454
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5455
 
5456
 
5457
  * MOS toolsets
5458
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5459
    library without creating the body of the library:
5460
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5461
 
5462
  * JATS BIN directories
5463
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5464
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5465
    using autoconf.
5466
 
5467
  * Generate directive
5468
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5469
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5470
 
5471
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5472

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5475
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5476
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5477
Major changes:
5478
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5479
    Initial release.
5480
 
5481
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5485
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5486
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5487
Major changes:
5488
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5489
    Initial release.
5490
 
5491
  * Packaging directives
5492
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5493
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5494
 
5495
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5496
        SOLARIS
5497
        WIN32
5498
 
5499
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5500
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5501
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5502
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5503
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5504
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5505
 
5506
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5507
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5508
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5509
 
5510
 
5511
Minor changes:
5512
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5513
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5514
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5515
 
5516
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5517
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5518
    location
5519
 
5520
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5521
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5522
 
5523
  * Utility genrc
5524
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5525
 
5526
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5527
    Added option: -new
5528
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5529
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5530
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5531
 
5532
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5533
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5534
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5535
 
5536
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5537
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5538
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5539
 
5540
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5541
   features - in a uniform manner.
5542
 
5543
 
5544
Internal Changes:
5545
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5546
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5547
 
5548
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5549
        1) Platform information available at build time
5550
        2) Dynamic platform names
5551
 
5552
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5553
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5554
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5555
 
5556
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5557
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5558
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5559
 
5560
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5561
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5562
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5563
    needed.
5564
 
5565
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5566
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5567
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5568
    files from all of these.
5569

5571
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
5572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5573
Major changes:
5574
 
5575
Minor changes:
5576
  * WinCE toolset
5577
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
5578
 
5579
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5580
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5581
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5582
Major changes:
5583
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5584
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5585
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5586
 
5587
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5588
 
5589
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5590
    the operations.
5591
 
5592
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5593
 
5594
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5595
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5596
 
5597
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5598
 
5599
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5600
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5601
 
5602
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5603
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5604
    Extended the built-in help
5605
    Added useful error messages
5606
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5607
 
5608
  * WinCE toolset
5609
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5610
 
5611
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5612
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5613
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5614
 
5615
Minor changes:
5616
  * JATS wrapper script
5617
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5618
    the command line.
5619
 
5620
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5621
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5622
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5623
 
5624
Internal Changes:
5625
  * Common Error Reporting
5626
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5627
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5628
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5629
    level.
5630
 
5631
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5632
    displayed.
5633
 
5634
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5635
 
5636
  * Added JatsSystem module
5637
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5638
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5639
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

5641
Major changes:
5642
 
5643
Minor changes:
5644
  * BR Compiler toolset
5645
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5646
    .def files to include other files.
5647
 
5648
  * IAR toolset
5649
    Added AT7272 support
5650
 
5651
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5652
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5653
 
5654
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5655
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
5656
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5657
Major changes:
5658
 
5659
Minor changes:
5660
  * BR Compiler toolset
5661
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5662
    use.
5663
 
5664
 
5665
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5666
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5667
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5668
Major changes:
5669
 
5670
Minor changes:
5671
  * Mictotec toolset
5672
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5673
    builds.
5674
 
5675
  * JATS Core
5676
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5677
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5678
    behaviour.
5679
 
5680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5681
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5683
Major changes:
5684
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5685
    Deployment package will be affected.
5686
 
5687
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5688
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5689
 
5690
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5691
 
5692
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5693
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5694
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5695
    packages.
5696
 
5697
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5698
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5699
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5700
 
5701
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5702
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5703
 
5704
Minor changes:
5705
  * SubDir directive
5706
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5707
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5708
 
5709
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5710
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5711
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5712
    of the file usage.
5713
 
5714
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5715
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5716
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5717
 
5718
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5719
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5720
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5721
 
5722
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5723
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5724
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5725
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5726
 
5727
 
5728
Internal Changes:
5729
  * Code refactor
5730
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5731
 
5732
  * Deployment utilities
5733
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5734
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5735
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5736
    the module can locate the file.
5737
 
5738
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5739
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5740
 
5741
  * JATS core
5742
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5743
 
5744
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5745
 
5746
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5747
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5748
    through the use of environment variables.
5749
 
5750
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5751
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5752
 
5753
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5754
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5755
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5756
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5757
 
5758
  * Make environment
5759
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5760
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5761
 
5762
 
5763

5773
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5774
 
5775
Not Released.
5776
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5777
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5778

Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5782
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5783
Major changes:
5784
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5785
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5786
    radically replaced.
5787
 
5788
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5789
    Usage:
5790
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5791
 
5792
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5793
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5794
    this solution:
5795
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5796
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5797
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5798
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5799
 
5800
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5801
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5802
    order to work.
5803
 
5804
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5805
    reduced functionality.
5806
 
5807
 
5808
Minor changes:
5809
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5810
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5811
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5812
 
5813
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5814
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5815
    within the makefiles.
5816
        Options:
5817
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5818
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5819
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5820
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5821
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5822
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5823
        Useage:
5824
 
5825
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5826
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5827
 
5828
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5829
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5830
    is not in the current directory.
5831
 
5832
  * Jats Command: ant'
5833
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5834
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5835
 
5836
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5837
 
5838
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5839
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5840
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5841
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5842
 
5843
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5844
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5845
    Thus
5846
 
5847
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5848
 
5849
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5850
 
5851

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

6611
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6613
Major changes:
6614
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6615
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6616
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6617
      longer a list of directories.
6618
 
6619
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6620
      done within the toolset.
6621
 
6622
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6623
 
6624
    * JATS environment variables
6625
      Redefined variable
6626
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6627
                          Previously was a list that included the
6628
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6629
 
6630
      New variable
6631
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6632
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6633
 
6634
 
6635
Minor changes:
6636
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6637
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6638
      target platforms to be extracted.
6639
 
6640
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6641
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6642
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6643
 
6644
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6645
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6646
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6647
 
6648
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6649
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6650
 
6651
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6652
      Support ANT based XML files
6653
 
6654
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6655
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6656
      structure.
6657
 
6658
    * makefile.pl's
6659
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6660
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6661
 
6662
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6663
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6664
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6665
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6666
 
6667
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6668
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6669
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6670
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6671
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6672
      -- Auto.
6673
 
6674
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6675
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6676
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6677
 
6678
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6679
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6680
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6681
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6682
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6683
 
6684
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6685
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6686
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6687
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6688
      installed on the machine.
6689
 
6690
    * WINCE Targets
6691
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6692
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6693
 
6694
 
6695
 
6696
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6697
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6698
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6699
Major changes:
6700
    * WIN32 platforms
6701
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6702
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6703
      and installed packages.
6704
 
6705
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6706
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6707
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6708
 
6709
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6710
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6711
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6712
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6713
      searched when looking for libraries.
6714
 
6715
Minor changes:
6716
    * GenerateFiles directive
6717
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6718
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6719
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6720
                          and drive letter
6721
 
6722
    * Src directive
6723
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6724
      directory of a package.
6725
 
6726
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6727
 
6728
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6729
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6730
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6731
 
6732
    * jats_rewrite utility
6733
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6734
 
6735
 
6736
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6737
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6738
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6739
Major changes:
6740
    * SunWorks production builds
6741
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6742
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6743
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6744
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6745
      compiler documentation.
6746
 
6747
    * MOS Toolset
6748
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6749
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6750
 
6751
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6752
 
6753
Minor changes:
6754
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6755
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6756
      This should not affect current users.
6757
 
6758
    * Mugfile generation
6759
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6760
      specified.
6761
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6762
 
6763
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6764
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6765
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6766
Major changes:
6767
    MOS Toolset
6768
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6769
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6770
 
6771
Minor changes:
6772
    * Jats wrapper script
6773
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6774
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6775
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6776
 
6777
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6778
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6779
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6780
      may be suspect.
6781
 
6782
    * GenerateFiles directive
6783
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6784
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6785
 
6786
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6787
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6788
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6789
Major changes:
6790
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6791
      build.xml files.
6792
 
6793
Minor changes:
6794
    * WIN32 toolset.
6795
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6796
 
6797
    * MakeAnt
6798
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6799
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6800
 
6801
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6802
 
6803
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6804
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6805
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6806
 
6807
    * MakeAnt directive
6808
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6809
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6810
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6811
 
6812
      Recommended usage:
6813
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6814
 
6815
Internal Changes
6816
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6817

6820
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6821
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6822
Major changes:
6823
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6824
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6825
      files packaged into the release.
6826
 
6827
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
6828
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6831
 
6832
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6833
      The recommended platform is:
6834
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6835
 
6836
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6837
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6838
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6839
      components.
6840
 
6841
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
6842

6845
 
6846
Minor changes:
6847
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6848
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6849
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6850
      by the package to be accessed.
6851
 
6852
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6853
      application or visual studio.
6854
 
6855
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6856
      and the JATS Core path.
6857
 
6858
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6859
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6860
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6861
 
6862
    * MOS Toolset
6863
      Add support for the TPT device
6864
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6865
 
6866
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6867
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6868
 
6869
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6870
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6871
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6872
 
6873
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6874
 
6875
Internal Changes
6876
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6877
      in jats.pl
6878
 
6879
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6880
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6881
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6882
Major changes:
6883
    * JATS wrapper script
6884
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6885
 
6886
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6887
 
6888
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6889
 
6890
Minor changes:
6891
    * Deployment support
6892
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6893
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6894
 
6895
    * 'build'
6896
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6897
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6898
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6899
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6900
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6901
 
6902
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6903
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6904
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6905
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6906
                                      the link phase.
6907
 
6908
    * BuildPkgArchive
6909
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6910
      Previously these were ignored.
6911
      Minor code cleanup
6912
 
6913
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6914
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6915
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6916
 
6917
    * SOLARIS targets
6918
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6919
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6920
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6921
 
6922
    * MugFile generation
6923
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6924
      included in the final package.
6925
 
6926
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6927
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6928
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6929
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6930
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6931
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6932
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6933
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6934
 
6935
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6936
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6937
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6938
            --Option=(some_text)
6939
            --Option=[some_text]
6940
            --Option={some_text}
6941
 
6942
Internal Changes
6943
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6944
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6945
      code.
6946
 
6947

6948
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6949
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6950
Major changes:
6951
    * JATS wrapper script
6952
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6953
 
6954
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6955
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6956
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6957
      other components.
6958
 
6959
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6960
 
6961
    * JATS
6962
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6963
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6964
 
6965
    * Build operations
6966
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6967
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6968
      packages.
6969
 
6970
    * Make operations
6971
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6972
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6973
 
6974
Minor changes:
6975
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6976
      deployment builds.
6977
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6978
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6979
 
6980
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6981
 
6982
    * build.pl
6983
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6984
        processed. Allows
6985
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6986
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6987
        production.
6988
 
6989
    * MOS toolset
6990
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6991
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6992
 
6993
    * create_dpkg utility
6994
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6995
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6996
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6997
      progress of the build.
6998
 
6999
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
7000
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
7001
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
7002
      system.
7003

Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
7006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7007
Major changes:
7008
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7009
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
7010
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
7011
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
7012
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
7013
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
7014
 
7015
    * WCEX86A500 target
7016
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
7017
 
7018
    * MOS Toolsets
7019
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
7020
      the compiler.
7021
 
7022
    * RunTest directive
7023
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
7024
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7025
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7026
 
7027
Minor changes:
7028
    * JATS BUILD
7029
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7030
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7031
      highlight bad settings.
7032
 
7033
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7034
      access to extensions.
7035
 
7036
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7037
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7038
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7039
Major changes:
7040
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7041
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7042
 
7043
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7044
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7045
      under unix.
7046
 
7047
Minor changes:
7048
    * label utility
7049
      Added options to:
7050
        o Delete a label
7051
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7052
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7053
 
7054
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7055
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7056
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7057
      Package directives.
7058
 
7059
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7060
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7061
      system.
7062
 
7063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7064
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7065
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7066
Major changes:
7067
    * MOS Toolset
7068
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7069
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7070
 
7071
    * WIN32 Toolset
7072
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7073
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7074
      list.
7075
 
7076
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7077
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7078
 
7079
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7080
 
7081
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7082
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7083
 
7084
 
7085
Minor changes:
7086
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7087
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7088
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7089
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7090
      corrected.
7091
 
7092
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7093
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7094
 
7095
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7096
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7097
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7098

7100
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7101
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7102
Major changes:
7103
    * WIN32 Toolset
7104
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7105
      use with multithreaded modes.
7106
 
7107
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7108
      --OnlyProd.
7109
 
7110
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7111
      within the makefile.pl.
7112
 
7113
Minor changes:
7114
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7115
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7116
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7117
      platforms.
7118
 
7119
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7120
 
7121
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7122
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7123
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7124
Major changes:
7125
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7126
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7127
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7128
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7129
 
7130
    * Preliminary Support
7131
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7132
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7133
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7134
 
7135
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7136
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7137
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7138
 
7139
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7140
      building. The default build will build both.
7141
 
7142
Minor changes:
7143
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7144
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7145
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7146
 
7147
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7148
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7149
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7150
 
7151
 
7152
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7153
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7154
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7155
Major changes:
7156
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7157
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7158
      or all.
7159
 
7160
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7161
      the library or program.
7162
 
7163
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7164
 
7165
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7166
      library or any debug files.
7167
 
7168
    * GenerateFiles
7169
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7170
 
7171
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7172
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7173
 
7174
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7175
              The filename of the prereq file
7176
 
7177
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7178
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7179
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7180
 
7181
 
7182
Minor changes:
7183
    * create_dpkg utility
7184
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7185
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7186
      the package has been altered.
7187

      This is a WINCE target
7194
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7195
 
7196
    * New toolset
7197
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7198
 
7199
    * Modified toolset
7200
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7201
 
7202
    * Modified toolset
7203
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7204
 
7205
Minor changes:
7206
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7207
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7208
 
7209
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7210
 
7211
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7212
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7213
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7214
 
7215
      The change allows the construct
7216
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7217
      to be replaced by the simpler
7218
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7219
 
7220
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7221
      specified name.    
7222

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7242
Major changes:
7243
    * The "package.pl" file.
7244
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7245
      package name being taken from the build name
7246
 
7247
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7248
      package Build Name.
7249
 
7250
Minor changes:
7251
    * create_dpkg utility

7260
    * Dependancy generator
7261
      Correct two common situations
7262
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7263
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7264
           ansi, but is often done.
7265
 
7266
    * GCC toolset
7267
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7268
      being created in the correct place.
7269
 
7270
    * jats "label"
7271
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7272
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7273
 
7274
 
7275
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7276
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7277
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7278
Major changes:
7279
 
7280
Minor changes:
7281
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7282
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7283
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7284
 
7285
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7286
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7287
 
7288
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7289
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7290
      package was not being transferred.

7295
Major changes:
7296
    * Support for solaris_i386
7297
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7298
      binaries for this target.
7299
 
7300
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7301
      with the GCC compiler.
7302
 
7303
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7304
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7305
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7306
 
7307
Minor changes:
7308
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7309
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7310
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7311
 
7312
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7313
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7314
 
7315
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7316
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7317
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7318
Major changes:
7319
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7320
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7321
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7322
 
7323
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7324
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7325
 
7326
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7327
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7328
      with either " or ' characters.
7329
 
7330
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7331
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7332
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7333
 
7334
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7335
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7336
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7337
 
7338
    * Jats wrapper
7339
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7340
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7341
      further commands.
7342
 
7343
Minor changes:
7344
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7345
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7346
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7347
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7348
 
7349
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7350
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7351
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7352
Major changes:
7353
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7354
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7355
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7356
 
7357
      These options operation affect all components within the
7358
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7359
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7360
 
7361
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7362
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.

7373
Minor changes:
7374
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7375
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7376
 
7377
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7378
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.

7384
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7385
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7386
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7387
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7388
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7389
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7390
      installed.
7391
 
7392
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7393
      libraries that depend on each other.
7394
 
7395
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7396
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7397
 
7398
Minor changes:
7399
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7400
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7401
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7402
 
7403
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7404
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7405
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7406
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7407

7409
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7410
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7411
Major changes:
7412
 
7413
Minor changes:
7414
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7415
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7416
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7417
      file.
7418
 
7419
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7420
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7421
 
7422
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7423
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7424
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7425
 
7426
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7427
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7428
 
7429
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7430
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7431
 
7432
    * WinCE toolsets
7433
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7434
      compiler specific libraries.
7435
 
7436
    * SOLARIS toolset
7437
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7438
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7439
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7440
 
7441
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7442
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7443
      cleaned up.
7444
 
7445
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7446
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7447
 
7448
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7449
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7450
      with either " or ' characters.
7451
 
7452
 
7453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7454
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7455
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7456
Major changes:
7457
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7458
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7459
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7460
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7461
 
7462
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7463
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7464
 
7465
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7466
      user.
7467
 
7468
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7469
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7470
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7471
 
7472
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7473
      for the   -Gf option.
7474
 
7475
Minor changes:
7476
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7477
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7478
 
7479
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7480
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7481
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7482
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7483
 
7484
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7485
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7486
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7487
Major changes:
7488
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7489
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7490
 
7491
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7492
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7493
      data addresses for the board.
7494
 
7495
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7496
 
7497
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7498
 
7499
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7500
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7501
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7502
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7503
         PackageFile
7504
 
7505
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7506
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7507
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7508
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7509
 
7510
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7511
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7512
      to be installed and packaged.
7513
 
7514
Minor changes:
7515
 
7516
    * cache_dpkg utility
7517
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7518
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7519
 
7520
    * label utility
7521
      New option -auto to create and label
7522
 
7523
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7524
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7525
 
7526
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7527
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7528
      directory. ie:
7529
 
7530
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7531
 
7532
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7533
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7534
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7535
 
7536
 
7537
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7538
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7539
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7540
Major changes:
7541
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7542
 
7543
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7544
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7545
 
7546
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7547
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7548
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7549
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7550
 
7551
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7552
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7553
      compilation.
7554
 
7555
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7556
 
7557
Minor changes:
7558
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7559
      one is being produced.
7560
 
7561
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7562
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7563
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7564
 
7565
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7566
 
7567
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7568
 
7569
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7570
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7571
 
7572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7573
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7574
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7575
Major changes:
7576
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7577
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7578
 
7579
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7580
 
7581
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7582
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7583
      same directory
7584
 
7585
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7586
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7587
      documenattion.
7588
 
7589
Minor changes:
7590
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7591
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7592
 
7593
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7594
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7595
 
7596
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7597
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7598
 
7599
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7600
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7601
 
7602
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7603
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7604
      be exempt from this test.
7605
 
7606
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7607
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7608
 
7609
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7610
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7611
 
7612
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7613
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7614
      does.
7615
 
7616
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7617
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7618
 
7619
 
7620
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7621
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7622
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7623
Major changes:
7624
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7625
 
7626
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7627
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7628
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7629
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7630
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7631
 
7632
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7633
      operations.
7634
 
7635
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7636
 
7637
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7638
 
7639
Minor changes
7640
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7641
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7642
 
7643
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7644
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7645
      directory is not added to the library path.
7646
 
7647
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7648
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7649
 
7650
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7651
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7652
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7653
 
7654
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7655
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7656
      specific flags.
7657
 
7658
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7659
 
7660
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7661
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7662
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7663
 
7664
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7665
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7666
      JATS.
7667
 
7668
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7669
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7670
 
7671
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7672
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7673
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7674
 
7675
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7676
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7677
 
7678
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7679
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7680
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7681
 
7682
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7683
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7684
 
7685
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7686
 
7687
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7688
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7689
 
7690
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7691
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7692
      objects.
7693
 
7694
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7695
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7696
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7697
      build defendants.
