    * [JATS-406] Dependency generation fails when building linux_drivers_viper
5995 dpurdie 18
      Fixed an issue in JATS' mkdepend utility. Detect attempts to divide 
19
      and mod by zero and generate an error and not a program fault.

    * Makefile Package and Install directives
27
      Addressed [JATS-405] - PackageFile does not handle files with a colon 
28
                             in the name
29
      Centralized handling of filename escaping.
30
 
31
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
32
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
33
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.
34
 
35
    * Make operations uninstall, unpackage and clobber
36
      Improved the deletion of files such that only files that exist will 
37
      be logged as deleted.

4728 dpurdie 801
      This build target is similar to UBUNTU12, except that it 
802
      generates instrumented code with gcov. The platform's unit tests 
803

820
 
4688 dpurdie 821
    * EnvVars
822
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
823
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
824
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
825
 
826
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
827
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
828
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
829
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
830
 
831
    * Jats caching
832
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
833
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed
834
      up jats startup.

    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
859
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
860
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
861
 
862
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
863
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
864
 
865
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
866
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
867
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
868
 
869
    * Jats Internal: Database access
870

1155
 
1156
Minor changes:
1157
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1158
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1159
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1160
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1161
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1162
 
1163
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1164
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

1173
      Added options:
1174
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1175
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1176
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1177
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1178
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1179
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1180
 
1181
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1182
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.

1190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1191
Major changes:
1192
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1193
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1194
      intended to build deployed software.
1195
 
1196
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1197
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1198
 
1199
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1200
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1201
 
1202
Minor changes:
1203
    * Jats wrapper script
1204
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1205
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1206
      Subversion instance of the command.
1207
 
1208
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1209
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1210
 
1211
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1212
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1213
 
1214
    * Utility: jats upddep
1215
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1216
      file under windows.
1217
 
1218
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1219
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1220
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1221
 
1222
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1223
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1224
 
1225
    * GCC Toolchain
1226
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1242
Major changes:
1243
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1244
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1245
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1246
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1247
 
1248
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1249
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1257
      family
3559 dpurdie 1258
 
1259
Minor changes:
1260
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1261
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1262
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1263
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1264
      line.
1265
 
1266
    * Jats Configuration
1267
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1268
 
1269
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1270
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1271
      and Linux.
1272
 
1273
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1274
      correctly rippled.

1281
Minor changes:
1282
    * Jats Core
1283
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1284
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1285
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1286
 
1287
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1288
      Used only by the build daemons.
1289
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1290
 
1291
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1292
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1293
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

1298
Major changes:
1299
 
1300
Minor changes:
1301
    * svnrelease utility
1302
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1303
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1304
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1305
 
1306
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1307
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1308
      the named tag.
1309
 
1310
    * svnrelease utility
1311
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1312
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1323
        covered by the makefile.
1324
 
1325
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1326
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1327
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1328
 
1329
    * ALL Toolsets
1330
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1331
 
1332
    * Utility vcsdiff
1333
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1334
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1335
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

    * Subversion Extraction
1344
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1345
      directory of the tag.
1346
 
1347
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1348
      repository.
1349
 
1350
    * Subversion Support
1351
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1352
      showing the user what to do.
1353
 
1354
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1355
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1356
      we have build support for this target.
1357
 
1358
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1359
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1360
 
1361
Internal:
1362
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1363
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1364
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1365
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Minor changes:
1382
    * Makefile generation
1383
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1384
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1385
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1386
      of warnings.
1387
 
1388
    * Makefile Generation
1389
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1398
Major changes:
1399
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1400
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1401
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1402
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1403
 
1404
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1405
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1406
      windows path scheme.
1407
 
1408
Minor changes:
1409
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1410
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1411
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1412
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1413
 
1414
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1415
        jats make clobber
1416
      This operates as before.
1417
 
1418
    * Utility: escrow
1419
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1420
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1421
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1422
 
1423
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1424
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1425
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1426
 
1427
    * Utility: svn : url
1428
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1429
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1430
 
1431
    * Utility: svn : import
1432
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1433
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1434
 
1435
    * Subversion Support
1436
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1437
      showing the user what to do.

1439
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1440
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1441
      repositories.

1446
 
1447
Minor changes:
1448
    * Jats build
1449
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1450
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1451
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1452
 
1453
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1454
      command, with a sandbox.

1479
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1480
                        The named branch must not exist
1481
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1482
                        The named branch must exist
1483
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

1517
 
1518
Major changes:
1519
    * Jats Version Number
1520
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
1522
      significantly.

Major changes:
1535
    * Subversion support
1536
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
1537
      SubVersion. Changes include:
1538
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
1539
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1540
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1541
 
1542
Minor changes:
1543
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1544
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1545
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1546
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1547
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1548
 
1549
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1550
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1551
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1552
 
1553
    * Linux support utilities
1554
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
1555

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1561
Major changes:
1562
    * Subversion Repository location
1563
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1564
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1565
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1566
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
1567
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1568
 
1569
Minor changes:
1570
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1571
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1572
 
1573
    * Utility: svnrelease
1574
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1575
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1576
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1577
 
1578
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1579
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1580
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1581
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1582
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1583
 
1584
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1585
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1586
 
1587
    * Utility: sandbox
1588
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
1589
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1590
 
1591
      Subcommand: populate
1592
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1593
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1594
      sandbox.
1595
 
1596
    * Subversion Support
1597
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1598
      repository is not supported.
1599
 
1600
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1601
      a progress indication.
1602
 
1603
    * Jats Online Documentation
1604
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1605
      online documentation.
1606
 
1607
    * Generated makefiles
1608
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1658
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
1659
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
1660
 
1661
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 1662

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1685
Major changes:
1686
 
1687
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1688
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1689
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1690
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1691
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1692
 
1693
    * C# Toolchain
1694
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

1704
 
1705
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
1706
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
1707
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1708
 
1709
    * Utility ccrelease
1710
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1711
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1712
 
1713
    * Utility: svn
1714
      Improved package import processing.
1715
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1743
Major changes:
1744
 
1745
Minor changes:
1746
    * Command: jats clobber
1747
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1748
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1749
 
1750
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1751
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1752
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1753
 
1754
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1755
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1756
 
377 dpurdie 1757
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1758
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1759
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1760
 
1761
    * jats svnlabel
1762
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1763
 
1764
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1765
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1766
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1767
 
1768
    * Built Daemon support
1769
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1770
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1771

1774
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1775
Major changes:
1776
    * GCC Toolset
1777
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1778
      New methodology is:
1779
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1780
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1781
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1782
        as the main binary.
1783
 
1784
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1785
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1786
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1787
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1788
      both worlds.
1789
 
1790
Minor changes:
1791
    * HTML Documentation
1792
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1793
 
1794
Internal changes:
1795
    * Generated makefiles
1796

1797
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.

1802
Major changes:
1803
    * Jats Sandbox
1804
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1805
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1806
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1807
 
1808
    * RIORDS Platform
1809
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
1810
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion

1812
      Package up the 'hex' file created when the .img file is processed.
1813
 
1814

1924
    * jats build -noforce
1925
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1926
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1927
      be forced.
1928
 
1929
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1930
 
1931
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1932
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1933
 
1934
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1935
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1936
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1937
 
1938
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1939
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1940
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1941
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.

    * Toolset: CSharp
1955
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1956
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1957
      character.
1958
 
1959
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1960
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1961
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1962
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1963
      masking an error.
1964
 
1965
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1966
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous

    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1982

1983
      packages.

1986
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1987
      'jats make show' command.
1988
 
1989
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1990
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1991

      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
2218
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
2219
 
2220
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
2221
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
2222
      need toolset specific information.
2223
 
2224
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
2225
 
2226
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
2227
 
2228
Internal:
2229
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
2230
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
2231
      processing into jats.pl
2232
 
2233
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
2234
      a ClearCase site.

2333
Minor changes:
2334
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
2335
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
2336
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
2337
      resulting in multiple builds.
2338
 
2339
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
2340
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
2341
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
2342
 
2343
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
2344
 
2345
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2346
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
2347
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

Major changes:
2353
 
2354
Minor changes:
2355
    * Jats label command
2356
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2357
      Not recommended for general use.
2358
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2359
      directories within the current view.
2360
 
2361
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2362
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2363
      elsewhere.
2364
 
2365
    * Jats save_build
2366
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2367
      the determination of a branch.
2368
 
2369
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2370
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2371
 
2372
    * Jats build
2373
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2374
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2375
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2376
 
2377
    * Borland6 toolset
2378
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2379
      to match the documented install location of:
2380
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2381
 
2382
    * Jats build
2383
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2384
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2385
      This is a very quick operation.
2386
 
2387
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2388
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2389
 
2390
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2391
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2392
      files are only recreated if need be.
2393
 
2394
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2395
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2396
      make the package.
2397
 
2398
    * Jats sandbox
2399
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2400
 
2401
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2402
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2403
 
2404
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2405
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2406
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2407
      is performed.
2408
 
2409
Internal:
2410
    * build.pl

Minor changes:
2446
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2447
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2448
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2449
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2450
 
2451
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2452
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2453
 
2454
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2455
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2456
      platform builds.
2457
 
2458
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2459
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2460
      directory tree.
2461
 
2462
    * New command: jats man
2463
      Produces full help on a specified item.

2475
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2476
Major changes:
2477
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2478
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2479
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2480
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2481
 
2482
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2483
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2484
 
2485
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2486
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2487
 
2488
      Examples:
2489
            jats upddep -show
2490
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2491
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2492
 
2493
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2494
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2495
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2496
 
2497
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2498
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2499
 
2500
Minor changes:
2501
 
2502
Internal changes:
2503
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

2508
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2509
Major changes:
2510
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2511
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2512
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2513
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2514
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2515
      stream.
2516
 
2517
      Example:
2518
 
2519
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2520
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2521
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2522
                     );
2523
Minor changes:
2524
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2525
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2526
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2527
      directive.
2528
 
2529
    * GCC Toolkit
2530
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2531
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2532
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2533
      the point of termination.
2534
 
2535
    * Jats save_build utility
2536
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2537
      under windows.
2538
 
2539
    * Jats sandbox
2540
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2541
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2542
      in different sandboxes.
2543
 
2544
    * Jats release
2545
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2546

      directory.
2557
 
2558
    * jats label utility
2559
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2560
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2561
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2562
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2563
 
2564
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2575
        noExceptions            - Disable
2576
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2577
      Example:
2578
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2579
 
2580
    * Solaris targets
2581
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2582
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2583
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2584
      machine type.

    * New Build Platform: VB6
2591
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2592
      project files.
2593
 
2594
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2595
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2596
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2597
 
2598
Minor changes:
2599
    * Added more internal documentation
2600
      Use jats help to see available documentation

2606
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2607
      under windows.
2608
 
2609
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2610
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2611
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2612
      libraries.
2613
 
2614
    * Solaris builds
2615
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2616
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2617
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2618
      of the build failure.
2619
 
2620
 
2621
Internal changes:
2622
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2623
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2624
 
2625
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2626
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
2630
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2631
Major changes:
2632
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2633
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2634
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2635
      existing 32-bit builds.
2636
 
2637
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
2638
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
2639
 
2640
Minor changes:
2641
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
2642
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2643
 
2644
    * Package searching
2645
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2646
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2647
 
2648
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2649
 
2650
    * jats help
2651
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2652
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2653
 
2654
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2655
      with one of:
2656
        jats -h
2657
        jats help jats
2658
 
2659
Internal:
2660
    * cmdfile utility
2661
      Added macros:
2662
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2663
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2664
 
2665
      Corrected
2666
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
2667
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
2668
 
2669
      Extended
2670
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2671
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2672
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2673
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Version:  2.80.4000.cr                               Released: 17-Dec-09
2677
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2678
Major changes:
2679
 
2680
Minor changes:
2681
 
2682
Internal changes
2683
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2684
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2685
      Useful side effects include:
2686
 
2687
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2688
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2689
 
2690
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2691
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2692
 
2693
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2694
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2695
        BuildPkgArchive
2696
 
313 dpurdie 2697
    * Perl Modules
2698
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2699
      release. This will:
2700
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2701
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2702
          reported by ERG.
2703
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2708
Major changes:
2709
 
2710
Minor changes:
2711
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2712
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2713
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2714
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2715
 
2716
    * Jats label utility
2717
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2718
 
2719
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2720
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2721
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2722
 
2723
    * Jats core
2724
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2725
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2726
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 2734
    * CSHARP toolset
2735
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2736
      This is now fixed.
2737
 
309 dpurdie 2738
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2739
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2740
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2741
 
2742
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2743
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
2744

Major changes:
2749
 
2750
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 2751
    * Generating makefiles
2752
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2753
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2754
      an error.
2755
 
2756
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2757
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2758
 
2759
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2760
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 2761
      Refer the JATS Manual.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2766
Major changes:
2767
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2768
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2769
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2770
 
2771
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2772
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2773
 
2774
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2775
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2776
      Support includes
2777
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2778
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2779
 
2780
Minor changes:
2781
    * Build file processing
2782
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2783
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2784
 
2785
    * MOS builds
2786
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2787
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2788
 
2789
    * MOS builds
2790
      New 'known' product: PICP
2791
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2792
 
2793
    * GenerateFiles directive
2794
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2795
        under windows.
2796
 
2797
        .
2798
 
2799
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2800
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2801
 
2802
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2803
      to the output stream.
2804
 
2805
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2806
 
2807
    * Windows Shell
2808
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2809
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2810
 
2811
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2812
 
2813
    * H8S toolset
2814
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2815
 
2816
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2817
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2818
 
2819
Internal changes
2820
    * WinCe builds
2821
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2822
      content of the file.
2823
 
2824
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2825
 
2826
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2827
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
2828

2839
Major changes:
2840
 
2841
Minor changes:
2842
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2843
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2844
      Changes are transparent to users.
2845
 
2846
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2847
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2848
      this occurs.
2849
 
2850
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2851
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2852
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2853
      automated build framework.
2854
 
2855
    * jats sandbox command
2856
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2857
      'create' command.
2858
 
2859
    * jats command aliases. Added
2860
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2861
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

2865
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2866
Major changes:
2867
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2868
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2869
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2870
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2871
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2872
      will work as expected
2873
 
2874
Minor changes:
2875
    * VS2008 Toolset
2876
      Picking up incorrect config details
2877
      May result in a warning message.
2878
 
2879
    * gen_cots utility
2880
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2881
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2882
 
2883
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2884
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
2885
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

2931
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2932
Major changes:
2933
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2934
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2935
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2936
 
2937
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2938
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2939
 
2940
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2941
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2942
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2943
           names cannot be changed.
2944
 
2945
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2946
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2947
 
2948
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2949
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2950
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2951
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2952
 
2953
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2954
      file.
2955
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2956
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2957
      MyPackage.dpk.
2958
 
2959
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2960
      file.
2961
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2962
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2963
      MyDll.dpr.
2964
 
2965
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2966
      file.
2967
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2968
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2969
      MyProg.dpr.
2970
 
2971
Minor changes:
2972
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2973
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2974
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2975
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2976
 
2977
    * BuildVersion directive
2978
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2979
      in a Delphi Unit.
2980
 
2981
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2982
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2983
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2984
      'know' the location of the files.
2985
 
2986
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2987
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2988
 
2989
Internal Changes:
2990
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2991
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2992
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2993
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2994
 
2995
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2996
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2997
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

3001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3002
Major changes:
3003
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
3004
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
3005
      information for purely C++ builds.
3006
 
289 dpurdie 3007
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
3008
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 3009
 
289 dpurdie 3010
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
3011
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
3012
            Manager
287 dpurdie 3013
 
3014
Minor changes:
3015
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

3018
    * updatenodespec utility
3019
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
3020

3057
    * New command: jats make show
3058
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
3059
      used in the build.
3060
 
3061
    * Escrow command
3062
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
3063
 
3064
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
3065
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3066
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3067
 
3068
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3069
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

277 dpurdie 3073
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3074
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3075
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3076
 
279 dpurdie 3077
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3078
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3079
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3080
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3081
 
3082
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3083
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3084
 
3085
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3086
 
3087
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3088
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3089
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3090
 
3091
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3092
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3093
        processed.
3094
 
3095
      Removed the '-delete' option
3096
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3097
 
277 dpurdie 3098
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3099
    * Sandbox command
3100
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3101
 
3102
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3103
      target from consideration in the build set.
3104
 
3105
    * MCR Toolset
3106
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3107
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3108
 
3109
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3110
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3111
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3112
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3113
 
3114
    * Jats run_test command
3115
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3116
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3117
 
3118
    * descpkg file
3119
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3120
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3121
 
3122
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3123
     Now contains build trace information
3124
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3125
 
3126
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3127
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3128
     it contains 'jar' files.
3129
 
3130
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3131
 
3132
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3133
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3134
 
3135
   * BuildVersion directive
3136
     Form:
3137
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3138
     now works as expected.
3139
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3140
 
3141
Internal Changes:
3142
 
3143
    * Error reporting mechanism
3144
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
3145
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
3146
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

3157
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
3158
    then starts.
3159
 
3160
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3161
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
3162
 
3163
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
3164
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3165
    non-platform option.
3166
 
279 dpurdie 3167
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

3331
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3332
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3333
 
3334
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
3335
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward

            --InstallProg=list
3343
 
3344
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be

      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
3346
      GenerateCab.
3347
 
3348

3389
    * Windows utilities  [DEVI-051360]
3390
      Added rpccpp to assist in the creation of rcpgen based modules under
3391
      windows.
3392
 
3393
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolsets
3394
      Made used of rpccpp. These platforms can now support the creation
3395
      of XDR based modules.
3396
 
3397
    * Jats GenerateFiles directive
3398
      New option '--PreDelete' will delete all generated files before
3399
      the generator process is run. This may be used in cases where the
3400
      generator process does not operate if the output files already exist,
3401
      such as the rpcgen utility.
3402
 
3403
    * Jats MakeAnt directive
3404
      Correct problem where unit_tests could not be run.

      Merged files that exist in the target archive are now compared
3413
      against the local file. A difference is considered to be an error.
3414
 
3415
Internal Changes:
3416
    * Resolved issues with JatsEnv modules that make it difficult to include
3417
      the modules in other modules. This is now a package
3418
 
3419
    * JatsSystem Module
3420
      Resolved issues when 'shell' is used to invoke a 'system' command.
3421
      Now quote the command string being passed to the shell.
3422
 
3423
      Resolved issues with JatsCmd
3424
      Now takes an array of arguments.
3425
 
3426
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
3427
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
3428
      programs.
3429
 
3430
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
3431
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

3479
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
3480
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
3481
      time.
3482
 
3483
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
3484
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

3497
 
3498
Internal Changes:
3499
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
3500
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3501
      Previously was being done at two places
3502
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3503
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3504
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
3505
 
3506
    * JATS make: Command line
3507
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
3508

3516
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
3517
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
3518
        + Consistent use of option parsing
3519
 
3520

3542
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
3543
 
3544
    * FileUtils package.
3545
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
3546
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
3547
      Used functions within JATS.

3563
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3564
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3565
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3566
 
3567
Minor changes:
3568
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3569
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

3579
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3580
 
3581
      New platforms:
3582
        CSHARP2005
3583
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3584
         Support extends to allow:
3585
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3586
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3587
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3588
 
3589
        VS2005
3590
         Support extends to allow:
3591
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3592
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3593
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3594
 
3595
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3596
      through a version selector:
3597
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3598
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3599
 
3600
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3601
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3602
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3603
 
3604
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3605
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3606
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3607
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3608
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3609
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3610
          under VS2005.
3611
 
3612
Minor changes:
3613
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
3614

3616
 
3617
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3618
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3619
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3620
 
3621
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3622
 
3623
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3624
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3625
 
3626
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3627
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3628
      a minimal value of perl.
3629
 
3630
      Removed excessive require statements.
3631
 
3632
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3633
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3634
      Include JATS specific files for
3635
        1) Windows
3636
        2) Linux
3637
 
3638
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3639
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3640
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3641
      machines.
3642
 
3643
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3644
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3645
 
3646
    * JATS Environment
3647
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3648
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3649
 
3650
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3651
      wrapper scripts.
3652
 
3653
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3654
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3655
      Spell check help and code.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3708
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3709
  * New toolset and platform
3710
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3711
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3712
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3713
    this platform.
3714
 
3715
Minor changes:
3716
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3717
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3718
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3719
    work.
3720
 
3721
  * Jats utility: release
3722
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3723
    published to dpkg_archive.
3724
 
249 dpurdie 3725
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3726
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3727
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3728
    supported for ANT builds.
3729
 
3730
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3731
        releasemanager.releasename
3732
        releasemanager.projectname
3733
 
3734
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3735
    tagged data item of the form
3736
 
3737
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3738
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3739
 
3740
  * Mug File Generation
3741
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3742
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3743
 
3744
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3745
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3746
    required.
3747
 
3748
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3749
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3750
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3751
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3752
    the files in order to use them.
3753
 
3754
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3755
    locate the file.
3756
 
3757
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3758
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3759
 
3760
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3761
        * CSharp
3762
        * Properties
3763
        * WinRC
3764
 
3765
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3766
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3767
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3768
    Value is correctly assigned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3773
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3774
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3775
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3776
 
3777
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3778
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3779
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3780
 
3781
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3782
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3783
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3784
 
3785
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3786
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3787
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3788
 
3789
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3790
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3791
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3792
    correct.
3793
 
3794
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3795
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3796
 
3797
Minor changes:
3798
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3799
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3800
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3801
 
3802
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3803
    This will simplify new user setup.
3804
 
3805
  * All Unix Toolsets
3806
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3807
    on unix systems
3808
 
3809
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3810
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3811
    on some Solaris Machines.
3812
 
3813
  * JATS -version=<version>
3814
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3815
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3816

      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
3824
 
3825
Minor changes:
3826
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
3827
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
3828
 
3829
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
3830
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets

3832
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
3833
      Does not work with LMOS
3834
 
3835
    * Readme.txt file
3836
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
3837
 
3838
    * Misc Cleanup
3839
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
3858
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
3859
 
3860
  * JATS builds
3861
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
3862
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
3863
    mode.
3864
 
3865
  * JATS makefiles
3866
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3867
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3868
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3869
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3870
                            SetList directive.
3871

        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
3880
 
3881
  * JATS buildfile processing
3882
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
3883
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
3884
    of JATS.
3885
 
3886
  * JATS save_build utility
3887
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
3888
    which may be reserved.

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
3916
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
3917
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
3918
 
3919
    * MOS Toolset
3920
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
3921
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
3922
 
3923
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
3924
      can have production (PIC) components.
3925

      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
3934
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
3935
      Previously only worked on Windows

    * Extract/Release utility.
3970
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
3971
      that can handle spaces
3972
 
3973
    * MOS Compiler
3974
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3975
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3976
 
3977
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3978
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
3979
      descpkg files to be copied.
3980
 
3981
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
3982
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
3983
 
3984
    * JATS ANT command
3985
      Better selection of the ant build file
3986
 
3987

    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
3998
 
3999
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
4000
      <project> field.
4001
 
4002

4016
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 4017
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
4018
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
4019
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
4020
 
4021
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4022
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
4023
 
4024
    * Jats wrapper
4025
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
4026
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
4027

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4031
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 4032
    * Jats Release Mechanism
4033
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
4034
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
4035
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
4036
 
4037
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
4038
 
4039
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
4040
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
4041
 
4042
    * Running Jats
4043
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
4044
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
4045
      This may affect some windows developers.
4046
 
4047
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
4048
      Future versions will generate an error.
4049
 
4050
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
4051
 
4052
Minor changes:
4053
    * Perl Version Check
4054
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
4055
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
4056
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
4057
 
4058
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
4059
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
4060
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
4061
      build.
4062
 
4063
    * Jats Internals
4064
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4065
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4066
 
4067
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4068
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4069
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4070
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4071
      process.
4072
 
4073
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4074
      Only works under Windows.
4075
 
4076
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4077
 
4078
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4079
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4080
 
4081
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4082
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4083
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4084
 
4085
    * Jats eprog
4086
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4087
      directory.
4088
 
4089
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4090
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4091
      build metrics.
4092
 
4093

4096
Major changes:
4097
 
4098
Minor changes:
4099
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4100
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4101
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4102
      automated build system. New options are:
4103
        -pname=Package_Name
4104
        -pversion=Package_Version
4105
 
4106
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4107
      transferring the package. New options are:
4108
        -test
4109
 
4110
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4111
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4112
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4113
 
4114
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4115
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4116
 
4117
    * Solaris Toolset
4118
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4119
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4120
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4125
Major changes:
4126
 
4127
Minor changes:
4128
    * WINCE toolsets
4129
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4130
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4131
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4132
      when header files cannot be found.
4133
 
4134
    * GenerateFiles directive
4135
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4136
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4137
      that are difficult to solve.
4138
 
4139
    * MakePerlModule directive
4140
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4141
      to the the module builder.
4142
 
4143
    * Jats Tool: label
4144
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4145
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4146
      -dirs=xxx options.
4147
 
4148
    * Jats Tool: release
4149
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4150
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4151
 
4152
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4153
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4154
 
4155
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4156
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4157
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4158
 
4159
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

    * Makefile generation
4206
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4207
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4208
      generate phase early.

4215
Minor changes:
4216
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4217
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4218
 
4219
    * Makefile generation
4220
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4221
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4222
 
4223
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4224
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4225
 
4226
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4227
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4228

4231
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4232
 
4233
    * jats escrow utility
4234
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4235
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4236
 
4237
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4238
      inconsistent packages.
4239
 
4240
    * jats make help
4241
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4242
      available within the current build.
4243
 
4244
    * jats makefiles
4245
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4246
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4247
 
4248
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4249
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4250
 
4251
    * gcc toolset
4252
      SharedLibries.
4253
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4254
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4255
 
4256
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4257
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4258
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4259
 
4260
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4261
        New options:
4262
            --MultiScan
4263
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4264
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4265
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4273
Minor changes:
4274
    PackageLib directive
4275
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4276
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4277
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4278
 
4279
    MakefileGenerate directive
4280
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4281
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4282
 
4283
    Multiple Parent detection
4284
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4285
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4286
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4287
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4288
 
4289
    Solaris Toolset
4290
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4291
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4292
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4293
    link.
4294
 
4295
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4296
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4297
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4298
 
4299
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4300
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4301
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4302
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4307
Major changes:
4308
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4309
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4310
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4311
 
4312
    Summary of changes:
4313
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4314
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4315
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4316
          flexibility.
4317
 
4318
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4319
 
4320
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4321
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4322
          interface directory and associated build information.
4323
 
4324
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4325
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4326
          than one second.
4327
 
4328
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4329
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4330
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4331
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4332
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4333
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4334
 
4335
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4336
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4337
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4338
 
4339
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4340
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4341
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4342
          building them.
4343
 
4344
        - Detection of build file changes
4345
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4346
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4347
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4348
 
4349
        - Quieter make output
4350
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4351
 
4352
 
4353
Minor changes:
4354
    MakeAnt Directive
4355
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4356
 
4357
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4358
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4359
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4360
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4361
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4362
 
4363
    CSHARP toolset
4364
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4365

4374
 
4375
    MakeAnt
4376
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4377
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4378
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4379
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4380

    New option: --PackageBase
4393
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4394
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4395
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4396
 
4397
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4398
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4399
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4400
        package image being created.

4420
 
4421
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4422
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4423
 
4424
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4425
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4426
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4427
 
4428
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4429
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4430
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4431

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4460
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4461
 
4462
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4463
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4464
      last.
4465
 
4466
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4467
 
4468
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4469
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4470
 
4471
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4472
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4473
 
4474
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4475
 
4476
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4477
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4478
 
4479
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4480
 
4481
 
4482
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4483

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4507
Major changes:
4508
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4509
 
4510
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4511
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4512
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4513
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4514
      path.
4515
 
4516
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4517
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4518
      reproducible.
4519
 
4520
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4521
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4522
 
4523
      There are several aspects to the change
4524
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4525
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4526
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4527
 
4528
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4529
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4530
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4531
          controlled separately.
4532
 
4533
Minor changes:
4534
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4535
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4536
        Remove duplicates
4537
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4538

Minor changes:
4545
    * Makefile sanity test
4546
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4547
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4548
 
4549
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4550
      x86 machine.
4551
 
4552
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4553
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory

4557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4558
Major changes:
4559
    * RunTest directive
4560
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4561
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4562
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4563
 
4564
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4565
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4566
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4567
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4568
 
4569
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4570
        builder within the current toolset.
4571
 
4572
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4573
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4574
 
4575
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4576
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4577
      containing the RunTest directive.
4578
 
4579
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4580
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4581
 
4582
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4583
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4584
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4585
 
4586
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4587
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4588
                            P or D suffix.
4589
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4590
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4591
 
4592
Minor changes:
4593
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4594
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4595
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4596
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4597
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4598
 
4599
    * Save Build Utility
4600
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4601
      used in a ripple build.
4602
 
4603
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4604
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4605
 
4606
    * Release Utility
4607
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4608
      when an error is encountered.
4609
 
4610
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4611
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4612
 
4613
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4614
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4615
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4616
 
4617
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4618
      before the makefiles are created.
4619
 
4620
    * TestProg directive
4621
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4622
 
4623
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4624
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4625

Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
4628
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4629
Major changes:
4630
    * New build target
4631
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4632
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4633
 
4634
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4635
            DEVLINUX
4636
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4637
 
4638
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4639
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4640
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4641
 
4642
Minor changes:
4643
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4644
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4645
 
4646
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4647
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4648
 
4649
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4650
      and .cs files.
4651
 
4652
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4653
      thing.
4654
 
4655
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4656
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4657
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4658
      were it places temp files.
4659
 
4660
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4661
      interaction with other builds.
4662
 
4663
    * Release utility command
4664
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4665
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4666
      component in the clearcase tag name.

4683
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4684
 
4685
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
4686
    as a Script.

Minor changes:
4717
  * WINCE Support
4718
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4719
 
4720
  * Removed the following targets
4721
        TP5600
4722
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4723
        TP5600_EMU
4724
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4725
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4726
 
4727
  * Deployment
4728
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4729
 
4730
  * build.pl
4731
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4732
 
4733
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4734
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4735
 
4736
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4737
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4738
    build.
4739
 
4740
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4741
 
4742
  * Tool: escrow
4743
     New features
4744
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4745
     are not in the SBOM.
4746
 
4747
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4748
 
4749
     Specify packages to be ignored.

4753
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
4754
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4755
Major changes:
4756
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4757
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4758
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4759
 
4760
  * GenerateFiles
4761
    Added the options:
4762
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4763
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4764
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4765
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4766
 
4767
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4768
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4769
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4770
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4771
                                  required.
4772
 
4773
 
4774
Minor changes:
4775
  * GenerateFile directive
4776
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4777
 
4778
  * GCC Toolset
4779
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4780
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4781
    be rebuilt.
4782
 
4783
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4784
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4785
 
4786
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4787
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4788
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4789
Major changes:
4790
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4791
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4792
    environment variables.
4793
 
4794
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4795
            moved.
4796
 
4797
    This will affect users that:
4798
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4799
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4800
 
4801
        2) Use the ABT system
4802
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4803
           the required configuration
4804
 
4805
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4806
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4807
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4808
    Windows
4809
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 4810
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
4811
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4812
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 4813
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 4814
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
4815
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4816
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 4817
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4818
 
4819
 
4820
  * New build platforms
4821
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4822
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4823
 
4824
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4825
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4826
 
4827
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4828
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4829
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4830
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4831
 
4832
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4833
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4834
    release.
4835
 
4836
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4837
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4838
 
4839
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4840
    need to be converted.
4841
 
4842
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4843
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4844
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4845
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4846
    used for different targets platforms.
4847
 
4848
  * Sandbox support
4849
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4850
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4851
 
4852
    New command: jats sandbox ...

4859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4860
Major changes:
4861
  * MakeAnt directive
4862
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4863
 
4864
    New options
4865
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4866
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4867
 
4868
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4869
    run_unit_tests phase.
4870
 
4871
  * Sandbox support
4872
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4873
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4874
 
4875
Minor changes:
4876
  * jats build
4877
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4878
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4879
 
4880
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4881
 
4882
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4883
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4884
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4885
 
4886
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4887
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4888
 
4889
  * JATS.BAT
4890
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4891
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4892
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4893
 
4894
  * jats label
4895
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4896
 
4897
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4898
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4900
Major changes:
4901
  * New build platform:
4902
        LMOS_TP5600
4903
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4904
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4905
 
4906
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4907
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4908
    describe the group of platforms.
4909
 
4910
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4911
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4912
    build these targets.
4913
 
4914
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4915
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4916
 
4917
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4918
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4919
 
4920
  * New build platform: WINCE
4921
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4922
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4923
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4924
 
4925
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4926
            WCEIT3000
4927
            WCEPA961
4928
            WCEPA962

4937
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4938
 
4939
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4940
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4941
    that contain packaging directives.
4942
 
4943
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4944
    very unusual configurations.
4945
 
4946
Minor changes:
4947
  * Directive: PackageFile
4948
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4949
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4950
    an '='.
4951
 
4952
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4953
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4954
 
4955
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4956
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4957
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4958
 
4959
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4960
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4961

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4963
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4964
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4965
Major changes:
4966
 
4967
  * JATS release command
4968
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4969
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4970
 
4971
    Rules are:
4972
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4973
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4974
                            File will be placed on a branch
4975
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4976
                            New directory will branch
4977
 
4978
Minor changes:
4979
  * JATS release command
4980
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4981
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4982
 
4983
  * JATS label command
4984
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4985
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4986
 
4987
  * JATS make
4988
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4989
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4990
    was re-packaged.
4991
 
4992
  * JATS escrow
4993
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4994
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4995
 
4996
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4997
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4998
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4999
 
5000
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
5001
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
5002
    interface directory.
5003
 
5004
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
5005
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
5006
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
5007
    directory as seen by the package.
5008
 
5009
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
5010
 
5011
  * JAVA 6
5012
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
5013
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
5014
 
5015
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
5016
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
5017
 
5018
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
5019
 
5020
  * Jats command: vars
5021
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
5022
    These indicate potential problems.
5023
 
5024
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5025
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
5026
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5027
Major changes:
5028
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
5029
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
5030
    libarry is also created.
5031
 
5032
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
5033
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
5034
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
5035
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
5036
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
5037
    information contained within the file.
5038
 
5039
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
5040
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
5041
 
5042
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
5043
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
5044
 
5045
  * Building Perl Modules
5046
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
5047
    documentation on the build machine.
5048
 
5049
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
5050
 
5051
Minor changes:
5052
  * jats create_dpkg
5053
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
5054
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
5055
 
5056
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5057
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
5058
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5059
Major changes:
5060
  * JATS JAVA build target
5061
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
5062
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5063
 
5064
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5065
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5066
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5067
    is then picked up as the default version.
5068
 
5069
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5070
    build.pl file.
5071
 
5072
Minor changes:
5073
  * jats release
5074
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5075
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5076
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5077
 
5078
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5079
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5080
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5081
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5082
    the name of the view.
5083
 
5084
  * GenerateFiles directive
5085
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5086
 
5087
  * MOS Toolset
5088
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5089
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5090
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5091
 
5092
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5093
 
5094
 
5095
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5096
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5097
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5098
Major changes:
5099
 
5100
Minor changes:
5101
  * JATS environment
5102
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5103
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5104
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5105
 
5106
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5107
 
5108
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5109
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5110
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5111
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5112
    to be packaged.
5113
 
5114
  * Generated makefiles
5115
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5116
 
5117
  * Generating MOS THX files
5118
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5119
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5120
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5121
 
5122
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5123
 
5124
  * JATS release
5125
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5126
 
5127
  * JATS extract
5128
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5129
 
5130
  * JATS Toolset
5131
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5132
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5133
 
5134

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5136
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5137
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5138
Major changes:
5139
 
5140
Minor changes:
5141
  * jats label
5142
    Added a -vob=name option
5143
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5144
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5145
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5146
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5147
 
5148
    Added a -user=name option
5149
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5150
    label to the named user.
5151
 
5152
  * jats release
5153
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5154
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5155
 
5156
  * JATS build.pl
5157
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5158
    ie:
5159
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5160

5163
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5164
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5165
Major changes:
5166
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5167
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5168
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5169
    the makefile internals. ie:
5170
        --Var(BuildName)
5171
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5172
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5173
 
5174
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5175
 
5176
  * GenerateFiles
5177
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5178
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5179
 
5180
  * BuildPlatforms
5181
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5182
 
5183
Minor changes:
5184
  * GCC Toolset
5185
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5186
 
5187
Internal changes:
5188
  * GenerateFiles
5189
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5190
 
5191
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5192
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5193
 
5194
 
5195
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5196
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5197
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5198
Major changes:
5199
  * Caching JATS
5200
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5201
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5202
 
5203
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5204
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5205
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5206
 
5207
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5208
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5209
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5210
 
5211
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5212
 
5213
Minor changes:
5214
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5215
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5216
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5217
 
5218
  * jats build
5219
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5220
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5221
    processed by the build.
5222
 
5223
  * jats build
5224
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5225
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5226
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5227
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5228
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5229
 
5230
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5231
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5232
    Path is not specified.
5233
 
5234
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5235
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5236
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5237
        --Dir=$Pinc
5238
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5239
 
5240
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5241
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5242
    Windows platform.
5243
 
5244
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5245
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5246
            by 'purecov.
5247
 
5248
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5249
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5250
 
5251
        - OPTIONS=purify
5252
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5253
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5254
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5255

5258
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
5259
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5260
Major changes:
5261
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5262
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5263
    Example:
5264
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5265
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5266
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5267
 
5268
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5269
    been determined.
5270
 
5271
Minor changes:
5272
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5273
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5274
    located at build-time.
5275
 
5276
  * Unix based systems
5277
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5278
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5279
 
5280
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5281
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5282
    driver being built.
5283
 
5284
 
5285

5290
 
5291
Minor changes:
5292
  * jats_rewrite tool
5293
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
5294
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
5295
 
5296
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5297
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5298
 
5299
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5300
    dependancy information within a package.
5301
 
5302
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5303
    messages.
5304
 
5305
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5306
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06

5308
Major changes:
5309
  * makefile.pl directives
5310
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
5311
 
5312
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5313
 
5314
    GenerateFiles.
5315
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5316
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5317
                      be run on every invocation.
5318
 
5319
 
5320
Minor changes:
5321
  * Added the jats version command
5322
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
5323
 
5324
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
5325
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5326
  There are two mechanism:
5327
 
5328
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5329
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5330
 
5331
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5332
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5333
 
5334
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5335
  default.
5336
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5337
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
5338

    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5345
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5346
    It is based on machine type.
5347
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5348
 
5349
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5350
 
5351
Minor changes:
5352
  * Perl DBI interface
5353
    Removed the message showing database connection
5354
 
5355
  * JATS internal library
5356
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
5357
 
5358

5359
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
5360
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5361
Major changes:
5362
  * GCC Toolset
5363
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
5364
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
5365
    Removed the use of `uname`.
5366
 
5367
  * Added platforms
5368
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
5369
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5370
    TP5600_EMU
5371
 
5372
Minor changes:
5373
  * descpkg file reader
5374
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
5375
    field separator.
5376
 
5377
  * JATS eprog command
5378
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5379
 
5380
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5381
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5382
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5383
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5384
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5385
 
5386
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5387
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5388
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5389
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5390
 
5391
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5392
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
5393

5404
 
5405
 
5406
Minor changes:
5407
  * JATS wrapper script
5408
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5409
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5410
    to setup links to system programs.
5411

5431
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5432
    Added CompileOptions
5433
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5434
        no_misalign         - Default
5435
 
5436
        multithread         - Default
5437
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking

5451
 
5452
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5453
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5454
    Theses are:
5455
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5456
        SOLARIS_AMD
5457
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5458
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5459
 
5460
Minor changes:
5461
  * AT3232 toolset

Major changes:
5472
 
5473
Minor changes:
5474
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5475
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5476
    messages
5477
 
5478
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5479
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5480
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5481
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5482
 
5483
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5484
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
5485
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5486
Major changes:
5487
 
5488
Minor changes:
5489
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5490
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5491
    library without creating the body of the library:
5492
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5493
 
5494
 
5495
  * MOS toolsets
5496
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5497
    library without creating the body of the library:
5498
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5499
 
5500
  * JATS BIN directories
5501
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5502
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5503
    using autoconf.
5504
 
5505
  * Generate directive
5506
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5507
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5508
 
5509
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5510
 
5511
 
5512
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5513
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5514
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5515
Major changes:
5516
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5517
    Initial release.
5518
 
5519
Minor changes:
5520
 
5521
 
5522
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5523
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5525
Major changes:
5526
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5527
    Initial release.
5528
 
5529
  * Packaging directives
5530
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5531
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5532
 
5533
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5534
        SOLARIS
5535
        WIN32
5536
 
5537
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5538
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5539
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5540
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5541
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5542
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5543
 
5544
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5545
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5546
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5547
 
5548
 
5549
Minor changes:
5550
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5551
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5552
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5553
 
5554
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5555
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5556
    location
5557
 
5558
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5559
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5560
 
5561
  * Utility genrc
5562
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5563
 
5564
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5565
    Added option: -new
5566
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5567
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5568
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5569
 
5570
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5571
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5572
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5573
 
5574
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5575
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5576
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5577
 
5578
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5579
   features - in a uniform manner.
5580
 
5581
 
5582
Internal Changes:
5583
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5584
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5585
 
5586
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5587
        1) Platform information available at build time
5588
        2) Dynamic platform names
5589
 
5590
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5591
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5592
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5593
 
5594
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5595
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5596
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5597
 
5598
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5599
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5600
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5601
    needed.
5602
 
5603
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5604
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5605
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5606
    files from all of these.
5607

5611
Major changes:
5612
 
5613
Minor changes:
5614
  * WinCE toolset
5615
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
5616
 
5617
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5618
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5619
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5620
Major changes:
5621
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5622
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5623
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5624
 
5625
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5626
 
5627
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5628
    the operations.
5629
 
5630
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5631
 
5632
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5633
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5634
 
5635
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5636
 
5637
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5638
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5639
 
5640
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5641
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5642
    Extended the built-in help
5643
    Added useful error messages
5644
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5645
 
5646
  * WinCE toolset
5647
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5648
 
5649
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5650
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5651
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5652
 
5653
Minor changes:
5654
  * JATS wrapper script
5655
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5656
    the command line.
5657
 
5658
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5659
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5660
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5661
 
5662
Internal Changes:
5663
  * Common Error Reporting
5664
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5665
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5666
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5667
    level.
5668
 
5669
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5670
    displayed.
5671
 
5672
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5673
 
5674
  * Added JatsSystem module
5675
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5677
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

Major changes:
5680
 
5681
Minor changes:
5682
  * BR Compiler toolset
5683
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5684
    .def files to include other files.
5685
 
5686
  * IAR toolset
5687
    Added AT7272 support
5688
 
5689
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5690
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5691
 
5692
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5693
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5695
Major changes:
5696
 
5697
Minor changes:
5698
  * BR Compiler toolset
5699
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5700
    use.
5701
 
5702
 
5703
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5704
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5705
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5706
Major changes:
5707
 
5708
Minor changes:
5709
  * Mictotec toolset
5710
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5711
    builds.
5712
 
5713
  * JATS Core
5714
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5715
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5716
    behaviour.
5717
 
5718
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5719
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5720
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5721
Major changes:
5722
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5723
    Deployment package will be affected.
5724
 
5725
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5726
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5727
 
5728
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5729
 
5730
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5731
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5732
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5733
    packages.
5734
 
5735
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5736
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5737
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5738
 
5739
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5740
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5741
 
5742
Minor changes:
5743
  * SubDir directive
5744
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5745
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5746
 
5747
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5748
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5749
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5750
    of the file usage.
5751
 
5752
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5753
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5754
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5755
 
5756
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5757
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5758
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5759
 
5760
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5761
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5762
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5763
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5764
 
5765
 
5766
Internal Changes:
5767
  * Code refactor
5768
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5769
 
5770
  * Deployment utilities
5771
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5772
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5773
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5774
    the module can locate the file.
5775
 
5776
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5777
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5778
 
5779
  * JATS core
5780
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5781
 
5782
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5783
 
5784
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5785
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5786
    through the use of environment variables.
5787
 
5788
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5789
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5790
 
5791
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5792
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5793
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5794
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5795
 
5796
  * Make environment
5797
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5798
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5799

5802
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5803
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5804
Major changes:
5805
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5806
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5807
 
5808

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5810
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5811
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5812
 
5813
Not Released.
5814
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5815
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5816
 
5817
 
5818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5819
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5820
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5821
Major changes:
5822
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5823
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5824
    radically replaced.
5825
 
5826
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5827
    Usage:
5828
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5829
 
5830
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5831
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5832
    this solution:
5833
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5834
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5835
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5836
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5837
 
5838
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5839
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5840
    order to work.
5841
 
5842
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5843
    reduced functionality.
5844
 
5845
 
5846
Minor changes:
5847
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5848
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5849
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5850
 
5851
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5852
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5853
    within the makefiles.
5854
        Options:
5855
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5856
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5857
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5858
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5859
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5860
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5861
        Useage:
5862
 
5863
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5864
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5865
 
5866
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5867
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5868
    is not in the current directory.
5869
 
5870
  * Jats Command: ant'
5871
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5872
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5873
 
5874
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5875
 
5876
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5877
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5878
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5879
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5880
 
5881
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5882
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5883
    Thus
5884
 
5885
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5886
 
5887
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5888
 
5889

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5891
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5892
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5893
Major changes:
5894
 
5895
Minor changes:
5896
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5897
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5898
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5899
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5900
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5901
 
5902
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5903
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5904
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5905
 
5906
Internal changes:
5907
  * JATS toolsets
5908
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5909
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5910
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5911
 
5912
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5913
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5914
 
5915
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5916
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5918
Major changes:
5919
  * Jats command: etool
5920
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5921
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5922
 
5923
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5924
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5925
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5926
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5927
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5928
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5929
 
5930
Minor changes:
5931
 
5932
 
5933
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5934
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5935
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5936
Major changes:
5937
  * JATS environment variables
5938
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5939
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5940
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5941
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5942
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5943
 
5944
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5945
              Remote repository
5946
 
5947
    Added GBE_DPLY
5948
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5949
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5950
 
5951
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5952
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5953
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5954
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5955
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5956
 
5957
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5958
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5959
 
5960
 
5961
Minor changes:
5962
  * JATS utility: build
5963
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5964
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5965
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5966
 
5967
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5968
    Ensure label is not locked
5969
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5970
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5971
 
5972
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5973
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5974
    to a specific type of build.
5975
 
5976
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5977
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5978
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5979
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5980
 
5981
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5982
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5983
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5984
 
5985
  * JATS utility: release
5986
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5987
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5988
 
5989
  * JATS utility: label
5990
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5991
    when it is being created.
5992
 
5993
Internal Changes
5994
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5995
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5996
 
5997
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5998
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5999
 
6000
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
6001
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
6002
    different results.
6003
 
6004
  * ToolsetRequire directive
6005
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
6006
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
6007
 
6008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6009
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
6010
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6011
Major changes:
6012
 
6013
  * MCR toolset
6014
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
6015
 
6016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6017
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
6018
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6019
Major changes:
6020
  * WIN32 utilities
6021
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
6022
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
6023
 
6024
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
6025
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
6026
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
6027
 
6028
Minor changes:
6029
  * BuildVersion
6030
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
6031
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
6032
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
6033
 
6034
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
6035
 
6036
  * Unix Builds
6037
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
6038
    library or a shared library.
6039
 
6040
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
6041
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
6042
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
6043
    start with 'lib'.
6044
 
6045
  * BuildPkgArchive
6046
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
6047
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
6048
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
6049
 
6050
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6051
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
6052
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6053
Major changes:
6054
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6055
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
6056
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
6057
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
6058
    being manually maintained.
6059
 
6060
 
6061
Minor changes:
6062
  * MakeAnt directive
6063
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
6064
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
6065
    supports ANT builds.
6066
 
6067
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6068
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
6069
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
6070
 
6071
  * Label utility
6072
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
6073
    files to be labeled.
6074
 
6075
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
6076
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
6077
    on Solaris.
6078
 
6079
  * Generated makefiles
6080
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
6081
    nothing.
6082
 
6083
  * MOS Toolset
6084
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
6085
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
6086
    modules.
6087
 
6088
  * Utility: gen_cots
6089
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
6090
    and then check it in under clearcase.
6091
 
6092
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
6093
 
6094
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
6095
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
6096
 
6097
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6098
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
6099
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6100
Major changes:
6101
  None
6102
 
6103
Minor changes:
6104
  * DEVI addressed
6105
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6106
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6107
 
6108
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6109
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6110
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6111
 
6112
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6113
 
6114
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6115
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6116
 
6117
  * RunTest directive
6118
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6119
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6120
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6121
 
6122
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6123
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6124
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6125
    packaged under JATS
6126
 
6127
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6128
          supported within JATS.
6129
 
6130
  * Jats utility wrapper
6131
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6132
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6133
 
6134
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6135
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6136
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6137
 
6138
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6139
    Eg: jats ant
6140
 
6141
  * Jats utility wrapper
6142
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6143
 
5710 dpurdie 6144
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6145
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6146
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6147
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6148
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6149
 
5710 dpurdie 6150
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6151
    expect a build.pl file.
6152
 
6153
  * Jats utility wrapper
6154
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6155
 
6156
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6157
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6158
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6159
 
6160
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6161
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6162
 
6163
  * Build files
6164
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6165
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6166

6169
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6170
Major changes:
6171
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6172
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6173
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6174
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6175
 
6176
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6177
 
6178
Minor changes:
6179
  * None
6180
 
6181
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6182
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6184
Major changes:
6185
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6186
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6187
    ie:
6188
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6189
 
6190
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6191
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6192
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6193
    environments are compatible.
6194
 
6195
 
6196
Minor changes:
6197
  * BuildName option
6198
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6199
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6200
 
6201
  * jats.bat
6202
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6203
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6204
 
6205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6206
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6208
Major changes:
6209
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6210
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6211
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6212
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6213
 
6214
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6215
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6216
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6217
 
6218
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6219
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6220
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6221
 
6222
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6223
    transferred.
6224
 
6225
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6226
    See notes below.
6227
 
6228
  * WIN32 toolset
6229
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6230
    correctly.
6231
 
6232
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6233
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6234
 
6235
  * BuildVersion
6236
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6237
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6238
    other langauges as needed.
6239
 
6240
 
6241
Minor changes:
6242
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6243
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6244
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6245
    version strings.
6246
 
6247
  * GenerateFiles directive
6248
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6249
    package or an imported package.
6250
 
6251
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6252
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6253
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6254
 
6255
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6256
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6257
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6258
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6259
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6260
 
6261
Internal Changes
6262
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6263
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6264
    of utilities.
6265
 
6266
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6267
    functions.
6268
 
6269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6270
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6271
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6272
Major changes:
6273
  * Generated makefiles
6274
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6275
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6276
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6277
 
6278
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6279
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6280
    incorrectly processing:
6281
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6282
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6283
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6284
    confused.
6285
 
6286
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6287
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6288
    The construct
6289
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6290
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6291
    then it works.
6292
 
6293
  * MakeAnt directive
6294
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6295
 
6296
    This option has the following effects
6297
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6298
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6299
 
6300
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6301
           early - in the generated files phase.
6302
 
6303
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6304
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6305
 
6306
 
6307
Minor changes:
6308
  * JATS post-installation script
6309
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6310
 
6311
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6312
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6313
    windows.
6314
 
6315
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6316
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6317
 
6318
  * Jats wrapper script
6319
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6320
        1) Contain spaces
6321
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6322
 
6323
  * Toolset
6324
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6325
 
6326
  * JAVA toolset
6327
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6328
    directive:
6329
 
6330
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6331
 
6332
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6333
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6334
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6335
 
6336
  * GCC Toolset
6337
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6338
 
6339
  * Makefile generation
6340
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6341
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6342
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6343
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6344
    package could not be used.
6345
 
6346
  * Unit Tests
6347
    The following environment variables are set:
6348
 
6349
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6350
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6351
 
6352
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6353
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6354
 
6355
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6356
 
6357
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6358
 
6359
 
6360
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6361
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6363
Major changes:
6364
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6365
 
6366
    Special features of this toolset.
6367
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6368
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6369
       incorporated within the target image.
6370
 
6371
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6372
       --Set=Name=Value
6373
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6374
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6375
 
6376
       --Ref=name
6377
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6378
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6379
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6380
                will be taken from the build version number.
6381
 
6382
Minor changes:
6383
  * MOS Toolset
6384
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6385
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6386
    packaged.
6387
 
6388
  * Src directive
6389
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6390
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6391
    specifier.
6392
 
6393
  * WIN32 runtime support
6394
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6395
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6396
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6397
 
6398
Internal:
6399
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6400
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6401
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6402
 
6403
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6404
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6406
Major changes:
6407
    * BuildAlias directive
6408
      Added options.
6409
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6410
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6411
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6412
                          targets.
6413
      Eg:
6414
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6415
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6416
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6417
 
6418
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6419
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6420
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6421
 
6422
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6423
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6424
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6425
 
6426
 
6427
Minor changes:
6428
  * Label utility
6429
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6430
    build.pl file
6431
 
6432
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6433
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6434
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6435
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6436
    --FilterIn option.
6437
 
6438
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6439
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6440
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6441
 
6442
  * Location of descpkg file
6443
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6444
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6445
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6446
 
6447
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6448
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6449
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6450
Major changes:
6451
  * RunTest directive
6452
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6453
    Additional options
6454
      --CopyIn=file
6455
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6456
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6457
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6458
        the test area.
6459
 
6460
    Additional operations
6461
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6462
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6463
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6464
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6465
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6466
    Allows flags:
6467
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6468
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6469
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6470
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6471
 
6472
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6473
    existence is tested.
6474
 
6475
  * Packaging Directives
6476
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6477
    such as LMOS.
6478
 
6479
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6480
 
6481
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6482
 
6483
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6484
 
6485
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6486
 
6487
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6488
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6489
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6490
 
6491
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6492
 
6493
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6494
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6495
 
6496
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6497
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6498
 
6499
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6500
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6501
 
6502
Minor changes:
6503
  * Script directive
6504
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6505
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6506
 
6507
  * JATS environment
6508
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6509
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6510
    the JATS wrapper script.
6511
 
6512
  * Label utility
6513
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6514
    There are three modes of operation:
6515
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6516
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6517
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6518
 
6519
 
6520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6521
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6522
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6523
Major changes:
6524
 
6525
Minor changes:
6526
  * label utility
6527
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6528
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6529
 
6530
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6531
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6532
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6533
      --ProgLoader=name
6534
 
6535
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6536
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6537
    Options to do this are:
6538
        --TreeDir=name
6539
        --FilterOut=regexp
6540
        --FilterIn=regexp
6541
        --StripDir
6542
 
6543
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6544
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6545
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6546
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6547
 
6548
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6549
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6550
 
6551
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6552
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6553
 
6554
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6555
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6556
 
6557
 
6558
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6559
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6560
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6561
Major changes:
6562
    * Make commands
6563
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6564
 
6565
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6566
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6567
 
6568
    * Label utility
6569
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6570
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6571
 
6572
Minor changes:
6573
    * Toolsets
6574
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6575
      variables and overrides.
6576
 
6577
      The make_init target is always run.
6578
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6579
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6580
 
6581
    * Deployment
6582
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6583
      with deployment operations.
6584
 
6585
    * Release utility
6586
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6587
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6588
      restricted by options within the build.
6589
 
6590
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6591
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6592
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6593
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6594
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6595
 
6596
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6597
      directives.
6598
 
6599
    * MakeProject directive
6600
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6601
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6602
 
6603
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6604
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6605
      is preserved.
6606
 
6607
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6608
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6609
      statements.
6610
 
6611
    * Mugfile generation
6612
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6613
      be placed in the target package.
6614
 
6615
 
6616
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6617
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6618
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6619
Major changes:
6620
    * BuildVersion directive
6621
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6622
      number as well as a patch number.
6623
 
6624
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6625
      number.
6626
 
6627
Minor changes:
6628
    * AddFlags directives
6629
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6630
      duplicate flags being added.
6631
 
6632
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6633
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6634
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6635
 
6636
    * Mug File Generation
6637
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6638
 
6639
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6640
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6641
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6642
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6643
     directory.
6644
 
6645
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6646
     reproducible.
6647
 
6648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6649
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6651
Major changes:
6652
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6653
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6654
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6655
      longer a list of directories.
6656
 
6657
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6658
      done within the toolset.
6659
 
6660
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6661
 
6662
    * JATS environment variables
6663
      Redefined variable
6664
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6665
                          Previously was a list that included the
6666
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6667
 
6668
      New variable
6669
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6670
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6671
 
6672
 
6673
Minor changes:
6674
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6675
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6676
      target platforms to be extracted.
6677
 
6678
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6679
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6680
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6681
 
6682
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6683
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6684
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6685
 
6686
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6687
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6688
 
6689
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6690
      Support ANT based XML files
6691
 
6692
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6693
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6694
      structure.
6695
 
6696
    * makefile.pl's
6697
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6698
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6699
 
6700
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6701
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6702
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6703
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6704
 
6705
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6706
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6707
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6708
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6709
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6710
      -- Auto.
6711
 
6712
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6713
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6714
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6715
 
6716
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6717
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6718
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6719
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6720
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6721
 
6722
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6723
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6724
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6725
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6726
      installed on the machine.
6727
 
6728
    * WINCE Targets
6729
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6730
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6731
 
6732
 
6733
 
6734
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6735
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6736
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6737
Major changes:
6738
    * WIN32 platforms
6739
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6740
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6741
      and installed packages.
6742
 
6743
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6744
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6745
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6746
 
6747
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6748
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6749
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6750
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6751
      searched when looking for libraries.
6752
 
6753
Minor changes:
6754
    * GenerateFiles directive
6755
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6756
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6757
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6758
                          and drive letter
6759
 
6760
    * Src directive
6761
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6762
      directory of a package.
6763
 
6764
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6765
 
6766
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6767
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6768
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6769
 
6770
    * jats_rewrite utility
6771
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6772
 
6773
 
6774
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6775
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6776
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6777
Major changes:
6778
    * SunWorks production builds
6779
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6780
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6781
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6782
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6783
      compiler documentation.
6784
 
6785
    * MOS Toolset
6786
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6787
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6788
 
6789
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6790
 
6791
Minor changes:
6792
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6793
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6794
      This should not affect current users.
6795
 
6796
    * Mugfile generation
6797
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6798
      specified.
6799
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6800
 
6801
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6802
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6803
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6804
Major changes:
6805
    MOS Toolset
6806
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6807
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6808
 
6809
Minor changes:
6810
    * Jats wrapper script
6811
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6812
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6813
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6814
 
6815
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6816
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6817
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6818
      may be suspect.
6819
 
6820
    * GenerateFiles directive
6821
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6822
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6823
 
6824
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6825
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6826
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6827
Major changes:
6828
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6829
      build.xml files.
6830
 
6831
Minor changes:
6832
    * WIN32 toolset.
6833
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6834
 
6835
    * MakeAnt
6836
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6837
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6838
 
6839
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6840
 
6841
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6842
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6843
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6844
 
6845
    * MakeAnt directive
6846
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6847
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6848
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6849
 
6850
      Recommended usage:
6851
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6852
 
6853
Internal Changes
6854
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6855

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6860
Major changes:
6861
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6862
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6863
      files packaged into the release.
6864
 
6865
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6869
 
6870
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6871
      The recommended platform is:
6872
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6873
 
6874
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6875
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6876
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6877
      components.
6878
 
6879
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

6883
 
6884
Minor changes:
6885
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6886
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6887
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6888
      by the package to be accessed.
6889
 
6890
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6891
      application or visual studio.
6892
 
6893
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6894
      and the JATS Core path.
6895
 
6896
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6897
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6898
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6899
 
6900
    * MOS Toolset
6901
      Add support for the TPT device
6902
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6903
 
6904
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6905
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6906
 
6907
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6908
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6909
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6910
 
6911
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6912
 
6913
Internal Changes
6914
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6915
      in jats.pl
6916
 
6917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6918
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6920
Major changes:
6921
    * JATS wrapper script
6922
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6923
 
6924
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6925
 
6926
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6927
 
6928
Minor changes:
6929
    * Deployment support
6930
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6931
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6932
 
6933
    * 'build'
6934
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6935
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6936
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6937
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6938
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6939
 
6940
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6941
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6942
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6943
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6944
                                      the link phase.
6945
 
6946
    * BuildPkgArchive
6947
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6948
      Previously these were ignored.
6949
      Minor code cleanup
6950
 
6951
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6952
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6953
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6954
 
6955
    * SOLARIS targets
6956
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6957
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6958
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6959
 
6960
    * MugFile generation
6961
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6962
      included in the final package.
6963
 
6964
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6965
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6966
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6967
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6968
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6969
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6970
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6971
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6972
 
6973
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6974
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6975
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6976
            --Option=(some_text)
6977
            --Option=[some_text]
6978
            --Option={some_text}
6979
 
6980
Internal Changes
6981
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6982
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6983
      code.
6984

6986
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6987
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6988
Major changes:
6989
    * JATS wrapper script
6990
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6991
 
6992
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6993
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6994
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6995
      other components.
6996
 
6997
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6998
 
6999
    * JATS
7000
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
7001
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
7002
 
7003
    * Build operations
7004
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
7005
      if required packages are built against different versions of
7006
      packages.
7007
 
7008
    * Make operations
7009
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
7010
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
7011
 
7012
Minor changes:
7013
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
7014
      deployment builds.
7015
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
7016
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
7017
 
7018
      Extended the "jats vars" display
7019
 
7020
    * build.pl
7021
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
7022
        processed. Allows
7023
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
7024
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
7025
        production.
7026
 
7027
    * MOS toolset
7028
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
7029
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
7030
 
7031
    * create_dpkg utility
7032
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
7033
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
7034
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
7035
      progress of the build.
7036
 
7037
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
7038
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
7039
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
7040
      system.
7041
 
7042

7043
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
7044
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7045
Major changes:
7046
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7047
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
7048
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
7049
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
7050
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
7051
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
7052
 
7053
    * WCEX86A500 target
7054
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
7055
 
7056
    * MOS Toolsets
7057
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
7058
      the compiler.
7059
 
7060
    * RunTest directive
7061
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
7062
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7063
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7064
 
7065
Minor changes:
7066
    * JATS BUILD
7067
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7068
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7069
      highlight bad settings.
7070
 
7071
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7072
      access to extensions.
7073
 
7074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7075
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7076
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7077

7078
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7079
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7080
 
7081
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7082
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7083
      under unix.
7084
 
7085
Minor changes:
7086
    * label utility
7087
      Added options to:
7088
        o Delete a label
7089
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7090
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7091
 
7092
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7093
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7094
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7095
      Package directives.
7096
 
7097
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7098
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7099
      system.
7100
 
7101
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7102
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7103
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7104
Major changes:
7105
    * MOS Toolset
7106
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7107
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7108
 
7109
    * WIN32 Toolset
7110
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7111
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7112
      list.
7113
 
7114
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7115
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7116
 
7117
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7118
 
7119
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7120
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7121
 
7122
 
7123
Minor changes:
7124
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7125
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7126
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7127
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7128
      corrected.
7129
 
7130
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7131
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7132
 
7133
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7134
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7135
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7136
 
7137
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7138
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7139
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7140
Major changes:
7141
    * WIN32 Toolset
7142
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7143
      use with multithreaded modes.
7144
 
7145
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7146
      --OnlyProd.
7147
 
7148
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7149
      within the makefile.pl.
7150
 
7151
Minor changes:
7152
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7153
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7154
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7155
      platforms.
7156
 
7157
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7158
 
7159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7160
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7161
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7162
Major changes:
7163
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7164
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7165
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7166
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7167
 
7168
    * Preliminary Support
7169
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7170
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7171
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7172
 
7173
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7174
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7175
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7176
 
7177
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7178
      building. The default build will build both.
7179
 
7180
Minor changes:
7181
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7182
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7183
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7184
 
7185
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7186
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7187
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7188
 
7189
 
7190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7191
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7192
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7193
Major changes:
7194
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7195
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7196
      or all.
7197
 
7198
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7199
      the library or program.
7200
 
7201
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7202
 
7203
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7204
      library or any debug files.
7205
 
7206
    * GenerateFiles
7207
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7208
 
7209
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7210
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7211
 
7212
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7213
              The filename of the prereq file
7214
 
7215
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7216
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7217
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7218
 
7219
 
7220
Minor changes:
7221
    * create_dpkg utility
7222
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7223
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7224
      the package has been altered.
7225

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7227
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

7229
Major changes:
7230
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7231
      This is a WINCE target
7232
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7233
 
7234
    * New toolset
7235
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7236
 
7237
    * Modified toolset
7238
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7239
 
7240
    * Modified toolset
7241
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7242
 
7243
Minor changes:
7244
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7245
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7246
 
7247
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7248
 
7249
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7250
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7251
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7252
 
7253
      The change allows the construct
7254
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7255
      to be replaced by the simpler
7256
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7257
 
7258
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7259
      specified name.    
7260

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7280
Major changes:
7281
    * The "package.pl" file.
7282
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7283
      package name being taken from the build name
7284
 
7285
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7286
      package Build Name.
7287
 
7288
Minor changes:
7289
    * create_dpkg utility

    * Dependancy generator
7299
      Correct two common situations
7300
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7301
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7302
           ansi, but is often done.
7303
 
7304
    * GCC toolset
7305
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7306
      being created in the correct place.
7307
 
7308
    * jats "label"
7309
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7310
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7311
 
7312
 
7313
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7314
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7316
Major changes:
7317
 
7318
Minor changes:
7319
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7320
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7321
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7322
 
7323
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7324
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7325
 
7326
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7327
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7328

7333
Major changes:
7334
    * Support for solaris_i386
7335
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7336
      binaries for this target.
7337
 
7338
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7339
      with the GCC compiler.
7340
 
7341
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7342
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7343
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7344
 
7345
Minor changes:
7346
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7347
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7348
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7349
 
7350
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7351
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7356
Major changes:
7357
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7358
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7359
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7360
 
7361
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7362
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7363
 
7364
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7365
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7366
      with either " or ' characters.
7367
 
7368
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7369

7375
 
7376
    * Jats wrapper
7377
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7378
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7379
      further commands.
7380
 
7381
Minor changes:
7382
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7383
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7384
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7385
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7386
 
7387
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7388
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7389
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7390
Major changes:
7391
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7392
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7393
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7394
 
7395
      These options operation affect all components within the
7396
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7397
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7398
 
7399
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7400
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7401
 
7402
Minor changes:
7403
 
7404
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7405
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7406
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7407
Major changes:
7408
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7409
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7410
 
7411
Minor changes:
7412
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7413
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7414
 
7415
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7416
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7417
 
7418
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7419
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7420
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7421
Major changes:
7422
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7423
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7424
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7425
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7426
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7427
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7428
      installed.
7429
 
7430
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7431
      libraries that depend on each other.
7432
 
7433
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7434
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7435
 
7436
Minor changes:
7437
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7438
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7439
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7440
 
7441
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7442
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7443
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7444
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7445
 
7446
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7447
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7448
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7449
Major changes:
7450
 
7451
Minor changes:
7452
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7453
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7454
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7455
      file.
7456
 
7457
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7458
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7459
 
7460
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7461
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7462
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7463
 
7464
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7465
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7466
 
7467
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7468
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7469
 
7470
    * WinCE toolsets
7471
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7472
      compiler specific libraries.
7473
 
7474
    * SOLARIS toolset
7475
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7476
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7477
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7478
 
7479
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7480
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7481
      cleaned up.
7482
 
7483
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7484
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7485
 
7486
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7487
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7488
      with either " or ' characters.
7489
 
7490
 
7491
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7492
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7494
Major changes:
7495
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7496
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7497
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7498
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7499
 
7500
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7501
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7502
 
7503
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7504
      user.
7505
 
7506
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7507
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7508
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7509
 
7510
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7511
      for the   -Gf option.
7512
 
7513
Minor changes:
7514
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7515
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7516
 
7517
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7518
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7519
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7520
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7521
 
7522
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7523
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7525
Major changes:
7526
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7527
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7528
 
7529
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7530
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7531
      data addresses for the board.
7532
 
7533
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7534
 
7535
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7536
 
7537
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7538
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7539
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7540
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7541
         PackageFile
7542
 
7543
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7544
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7545
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7546
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7547
 
7548
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7549
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7550
      to be installed and packaged.
7551
 
7552
Minor changes:
7553
 
7554
    * cache_dpkg utility
7555
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7556
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7557
 
7558
    * label utility
7559
      New option -auto to create and label
7560
 
7561
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7562
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7563
 
7564
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7565
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7566
      directory. ie:
7567
 
7568
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7569
 
7570
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7571
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7572
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7573
 
7574
 
7575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7576
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7577
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7578
Major changes:
7579
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7580
 
7581
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7582
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7583
 
7584
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7585
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7586
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7587
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7588
 
7589
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7590
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7591
      compilation.
7592
 
7593
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7594
 
7595
Minor changes:
7596
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7597
      one is being produced.
7598
 
7599
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7600
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7601
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7602
 
7603
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7604
 
7605
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7606
 
7607
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7608
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7609
 
7610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7611
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7613
Major changes:
7614
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7615
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7616
 
7617
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7618
 
7619
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7620
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7621
      same directory
7622
 
7623
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7624
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7625
      documenattion.
7626
 
7627
Minor changes:
7628
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7629
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7630
 
7631
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7632
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7633
 
7634
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7635
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7636
 
7637
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7638
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7639
 
7640
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7641
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7642
      be exempt from this test.
7643
 
7644
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7645
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7646
 
7647
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7648
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7649
 
7650
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7651
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7652
      does.
7653
 
7654
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7655
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7656
 
7657
 
7658
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7659
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7661
Major changes:
7662
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7663
 
7664
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7665
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7666
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7667
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7668
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7669
 
7670
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7671
      operations.
7672
 
7673
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7674
 
7675
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7676
 
7677
Minor changes
7678
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7679
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7680
 
7681
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7682
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7683
      directory is not added to the library path.
7684
 
7685
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7686
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7687
 
7688
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7689
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7690
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7691
 
7692
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7693
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7694
      specific flags.
7695
 
7696
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7697
 
7698
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7699
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7700
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7701
 
7702
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7703
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7704
      JATS.
7705
 
7706
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7707
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7708
 
7709
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7710
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7711
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7712
 
7713
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7714
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7715
 
7716
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7717
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7718
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7719
 
7720
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7721
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7722
 
7723
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7724
 
7725
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7726
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7727
 
7728
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7729
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7730
      objects.
7731
 
7732
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7733
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7734
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7735
      build defendants.
