652
 
653

658
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now

      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
662
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
663
      displayed at the end of the build process.

864
    * Jats caching
865
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
866
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

893
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
894
 
895
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
896
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
897
 
898
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
899
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

1188
 
1189
Minor changes:
1190
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1191
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1192
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1193
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1194
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1195
 
1196
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1197
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.
1198

Major changes:
1203
 
1204
Minor changes:
1205
    * Utility: update_release
1206
      Added options:
1207
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1208
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1209
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1210
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1211
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1212
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1213
 
1214
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1215
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
1216
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
1217
 
1218
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
1219
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
1220

1223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1224
Major changes:
1225
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1226
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1227
      intended to build deployed software.
1228
 
1229
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1230
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1231
 
1232
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1233
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1234
 
1235
Minor changes:
1236
    * Jats wrapper script
1237
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1238
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1239
      Subversion instance of the command.
1240
 
1241
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1242
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1243
 
1244
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1245
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1246
 
1247
    * Utility: jats upddep
1248
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1249
      file under windows.
1250
 
1251
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1252
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1253
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1254
 
1255
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1256
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1257
 
1258
    * GCC Toolchain
1259
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1275
Major changes:
1276
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1277
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1278
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1279
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1280
 
1281
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1282
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1290
      family
3559 dpurdie 1291
 
1292
Minor changes:
1293
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1294
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1295
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1296
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1297
      line.
1298
 
1299
    * Jats Configuration
1300
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1301
 
1302
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1303
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1304
      and Linux.
1305
 
1306
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1307
      correctly rippled.

1313
 
1314
Minor changes:
1315
    * Jats Core
1316
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1317
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1318
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1319
 
1320
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1321
      Used only by the build daemons.
1322
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1323
 
1324
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1325
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1326
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
1327

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1331
Major changes:
1332
 
1333
Minor changes:
1334
    * svnrelease utility
1335
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1336
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1337
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1338
 
1339
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1340
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1341
      the named tag.
1342
 
1343
    * svnrelease utility
1344
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1345
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1356
        covered by the makefile.
1357
 
1358
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1359
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1360
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1361
 
1362
    * ALL Toolsets
1363
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1364
 
1365
    * Utility vcsdiff
1366
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1367
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1368
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

1380
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1381
      repository.
1382
 
1383
    * Subversion Support
1384
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1385
      showing the user what to do.
1386
 
1387
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1388
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1389
      we have build support for this target.
1390
 
1391
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1392
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1393
 
1394
Internal:
1395
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1396
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1397
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1398
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

    * Makefile generation
1416
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1417
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1418
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1419
      of warnings.

Major changes:
1432
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1433
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1434
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1435
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1436
 
1437
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1438
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1439
      windows path scheme.
1440
 
1441
Minor changes:
1442
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1443
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1444
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1445
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1446
 
1447
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1448
        jats make clobber
1449
      This operates as before.
1450
 
1451
    * Utility: escrow
1452
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1453
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1454
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1455
 
1456
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1457
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1458
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1459
 
1460
    * Utility: svn : url
1461
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1462
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1463
 
1464
    * Utility: svn : import
1465
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1466
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1467
 
1468
    * Subversion Support
1469
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1470
      showing the user what to do.
1471
 
1472
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1473
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1474
      repositories.

1480
Minor changes:
1481
    * Jats build
1482
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1483
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1484
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1485
 
1486
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1487
      command, with a sandbox.

1509
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1510
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1511
      Modified two options:
1512
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1513
                        The named branch must not exist
1514
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1515
                        The named branch must exist
1516
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

1551
Major changes:
1552
    * Jats Version Number
1553
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

1572
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1573
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1574
 
1575
Minor changes:
1576
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1577
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1578
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1579
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1580

1581
 
1582
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1583
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1584

    * Subversion Repository location
1596
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1597
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1598
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1599

1602
Minor changes:
1603
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1604
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1605
 
1606
    * Utility: svnrelease
1607
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1608
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1609
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1610
 
1611
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1612
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1613
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1614
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1615
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1616
 
1617
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1618
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1619

1622
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1623
 
1624
      Subcommand: populate
1625
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1626
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1627
      sandbox.
1628
 
1629
    * Subversion Support
1630
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1631
      repository is not supported.
1632
 
1633
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1634
      a progress indication.
1635
 
1636
    * Jats Online Documentation
1637
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1638
      online documentation.
1639
 
1640
    * Generated makefiles
1641
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1691

Major changes:
1719
 
1720
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1721
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1722
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1723
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1724
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1725
 
1726
    * C# Toolchain
1727

1740
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1741
 
1742
    * Utility ccrelease
1743
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1744
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1745
 
1746
    * Utility: svn
1747

Major changes:
1777
 
1778
Minor changes:
1779
    * Command: jats clobber
1780
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1781
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1782
 
1783
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1784
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1785
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1786
 
1787
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1788
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1789
 
377 dpurdie 1790
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1791
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1792
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1793
 
1794
    * jats svnlabel
1795
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1796
 
1797
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1798
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1799
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1800
 
1801
    * Built Daemon support
1802
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1803
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1804

1808
Major changes:
1809
    * GCC Toolset
1810
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1811
      New methodology is:
1812
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1813
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1814
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1815
        as the main binary.
1816
 
1817
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1818
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1819
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1820
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1821
      both worlds.

    * jats build -noforce
1958
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1959
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1960
      be forced.
1961
 
1962
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1963
 
1964
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1965
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1966
 
1967
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1968
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1969
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1970
 
1971
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1972
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1973
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1974
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.

1987
    * Toolset: CSharp
1988
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1989
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1990
      character.
1991
 
1992
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1993
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1994
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1995
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1996
      masking an error.
1997
 
1998
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1999
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous

2019
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
2020
      'jats make show' command.
2021
 
2022
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2023

2213
    * makefile.pl directives
2214
      Corrects and extended the operation of the platform-specifier.
2215
      All non-platform options must be true, while the platform names are
2216
      treated as before - any of them may be true. See MASS-00166 for full
2217
      details.

2228
Minor changes:
2229
    * Jats Sandbox operation
2230
      Don't remove .RUL files in sandbox testing of the build files
2231
 
2232
    * Jats MakeProject directive
2233
      Added --TargetDebug= and --TargetProd=  to allow the default target
2234
      of the project builds to be specified.
2235
 
2236
      Can be used in all targets that use a Visual Studio project or solution
2237
      to build a package.
2238
 
2239
    * MergeLibrary directive
2240
      New sub-option --InterfacePlain
2241
      This will allow the use of 3rd party libraries that do not have a P or D
2242
      suffix in the library name.
2243
 
2244
    * GenerateFiles directive
2245
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
2246
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
2247
 
2248
    * BuildPlatform
2249
      New option: --NoToolSet
2250
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
2251
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
2252
 
2253
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
2254
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
2255
      need toolset specific information.
2256
 
2257
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
2258
 
2259
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
2260
 
2261
Internal:
2262
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
2263
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
2264
      processing into jats.pl
2265
 
2266
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
2267
      a ClearCase site.

2277
      libraries or header files.
2278
 
2279
    * New tool update_release
2280

2340
      files for Production and Debug builds.
2341
 
2342
Minor changes:
2343
    * Jats sandbox command
2344

    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
2368
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
2369
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
2370
      resulting in multiple builds.
2371
 
2372
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
2373
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
2374
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
2375
 
2376
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
2377
 
2378
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2379
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
2380
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

2386
 
2387
Minor changes:
2388
    * Jats label command
2389
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2390
      Not recommended for general use.
2391
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2392
      directories within the current view.
2393
 
2394
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2395
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2396
      elsewhere.
2397
 
2398
    * Jats save_build
2399
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2400
      the determination of a branch.
2401
 
2402
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2403
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2404
 
2405
    * Jats build
2406
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2407
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2408
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2409
 
2410
    * Borland6 toolset
2411
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2412
      to match the documented install location of:
2413
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2414
 
2415
    * Jats build
2416
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2417
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2418
      This is a very quick operation.
2419
 
2420
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2421
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2422
 
2423
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2424
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2425
      files are only recreated if need be.
2426
 
2427
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2428
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2429
      make the package.
2430
 
2431
    * Jats sandbox
2432
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2433
 
2434
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2435
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2436
 
2437
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2438
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2439
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2440
      is performed.
2441
 
2442
Internal:

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2480
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2481
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2482
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2483
 
2484
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2485
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2486
 
2487
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2488
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2489
      platform builds.
2490
 
2491
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2492
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2493
      directory tree.
2494
 
2495

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2509
Major changes:
2510
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2511
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2512
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2513
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2514
 
2515
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2516
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2517
 
2518
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2519
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2520
 
2521
      Examples:
2522
            jats upddep -show
2523
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2524
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2525
 
2526
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2527
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2528
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2529
 
2530
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2531
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2532
 
2533
Minor changes:
2534
 
2535
Internal changes:
2536
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

2541
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2542
Major changes:
2543
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2544
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2545
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2546
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2547
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2548
      stream.
2549
 
2550
      Example:
2551
 
2552
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2553
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2554
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2555
                     );
2556
Minor changes:
2557
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2558
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2559
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2560
      directive.
2561
 
2562
    * GCC Toolkit
2563
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2564
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2565
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2566
      the point of termination.
2567
 
2568
    * Jats save_build utility
2569
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2570
      under windows.
2571
 
2572
    * Jats sandbox
2573
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2574
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2575
      in different sandboxes.
2576
 
2577
    * Jats release
2578
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2579

      directory.
2590
 
2591
    * jats label utility
2592
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2593
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2594
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2595
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2596
 
2597
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2610
      Example:
2611
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2612
 
2613
    * Solaris targets
2614
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2615
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2616
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2617
      machine type.

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
2621
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2622
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2623
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2624
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2625
      project files.
2626
 
2627
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2628
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2629
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2630
 
2631
Minor changes:
2632
    * Added more internal documentation
2633
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2634
 
2635
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2636
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2637
 
2638
    * Jats save_build utility
2639
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2640
      under windows.
2641
 
2642
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2643
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2644
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2645
      libraries.
2646
 
2647
    * Solaris builds
2648
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2649
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2650
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2651
      of the build failure.
2652
 
2653
 
2654
Internal changes:
2655
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2656
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2657
 
2658
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2659
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
2663
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2664
Major changes:
2665
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2666
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2667
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2668
      existing 32-bit builds.
2669
 
2670
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
2671
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
2672
 
2673
Minor changes:
2674
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
2675
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2676
 
2677
    * Package searching
2678
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2679
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2680
 
2681
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2682
 
2683
    * jats help
2684
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2685
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2686
 
2687
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2688
      with one of:
2689
        jats -h
2690
        jats help jats
2691
 
2692
Internal:
2693
    * cmdfile utility
2694
      Added macros:
2695
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2696
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2697
 
2698
      Corrected
2699
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
2700
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
2701
 
2702
      Extended
2703
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2704
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2705
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2706
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2711
Major changes:
2712
 
2713
Minor changes:
2714
 
2715
Internal changes
2716
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2717
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2718
      Useful side effects include:
2719
 
2720
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2721
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2722
 
2723
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2724
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2725
 
2726
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2727
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2728
        BuildPkgArchive
2729
 
313 dpurdie 2730
    * Perl Modules
2731
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2732
      release. This will:
2733
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2734
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2735
          reported by ERG.
2736
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

2741
Major changes:
2742
 
2743
Minor changes:
2744
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2745
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2746
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2747
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2748
 
2749
    * Jats label utility
2750
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2751
 
2752
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2753
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2754
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2755
 
2756
    * Jats core
2757
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2758
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2759
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
2768
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2769
      This is now fixed.
2770
 
309 dpurdie 2771
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2772
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2773
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2774
 
2775
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2776
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 2784
    * Generating makefiles
2785
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2786
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2787
      an error.
2788
 
2789
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2790
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2791
 
2792
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2793
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2799
Major changes:
2800
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2801
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2802
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2803
 
2804
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2805
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2806
 
2807
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2808
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2809
      Support includes
2810
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2811
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2812
 
2813
Minor changes:
2814
    * Build file processing
2815
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2816
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2817
 
2818
    * MOS builds
2819
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2820
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2821
 
2822
    * MOS builds
2823
      New 'known' product: PICP
2824
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2825
 
2826
    * GenerateFiles directive
2827
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2828
        under windows.
2829
 
2830
        .
2831
 
2832
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2833
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2834
 
2835
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2836
      to the output stream.
2837
 
2838
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2839
 
2840
    * Windows Shell
2841
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2842
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2843
 
2844
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2845
 
2846
    * H8S toolset
2847
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2848
 
2849
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2850
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2851
 
2852
Internal changes
2853
    * WinCe builds
2854
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2855
      content of the file.
2856
 
2857
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2858
 
2859
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2860
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

Major changes:
2873
 
2874
Minor changes:
2875
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2876
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2877
      Changes are transparent to users.
2878
 
2879
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2880
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2881
      this occurs.
2882
 
2883
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2884
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2885
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2886
      automated build framework.
2887
 
2888
    * jats sandbox command
2889
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2890
      'create' command.
2891
 
2892
    * jats command aliases. Added
2893
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2894
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2899
Major changes:
2900
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2901
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2902
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2903
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2904
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2905
      will work as expected
2906
 
2907
Minor changes:
2908
    * VS2008 Toolset
2909
      Picking up incorrect config details
2910
      May result in a warning message.
2911
 
2912
    * gen_cots utility
2913
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2914
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2915
 
2916
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2917
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2965
Major changes:
2966
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2967
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2968
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2969
 
2970
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2971
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2972
 
2973
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2974
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2975
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2976
           names cannot be changed.
2977
 
2978
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2979
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2980
 
2981
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2982
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2983
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2984
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2985
 
2986
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2987
      file.
2988
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2989
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2990
      MyPackage.dpk.
2991
 
2992
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2993
      file.
2994
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2995
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2996
      MyDll.dpr.
2997
 
2998
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2999
      file.
3000
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
3001
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
3002
      MyProg.dpr.
3003
 
3004
Minor changes:
3005
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
3006
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
3007
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
3008
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
3009
 
3010
    * BuildVersion directive
3011
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
3012
      in a Delphi Unit.
3013
 
3014
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
3015
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
3016
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
3017
      'know' the location of the files.
3018
 
3019
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
3020
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
3021
 
3022
Internal Changes:
3023
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
3024
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
3025
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
3026
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
3027
 
3028
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
3029
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
3030
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

3034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3035
Major changes:
3036
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
3037
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
3038
      information for purely C++ builds.
3039
 
289 dpurdie 3040
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
3041
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 3042
 
289 dpurdie 3043
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
3044
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
3045
            Manager
287 dpurdie 3046
 
3047
Minor changes:
3048
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

3050
 
3051
    * updatenodespec utility
3052
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
3053

3090
    * New command: jats make show
3091
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
3092
      used in the build.
3093
 
3094
    * Escrow command
3095
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
3096
 
3097
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
3098
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3099
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3100
 
3101
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3102
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
3103

277 dpurdie 3106
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3107
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3108
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3109
 
279 dpurdie 3110
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3111
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3112
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3113
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3114
 
3115
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3116
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3117
 
3118
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3119
 
3120
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3121
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3122
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3123
 
3124
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3125
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3126
        processed.
3127
 
3128
      Removed the '-delete' option
3129
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3130
 
277 dpurdie 3131
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3132
    * Sandbox command
3133
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3134
 
3135
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3136
      target from consideration in the build set.
3137
 
3138
    * MCR Toolset
3139
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3140
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3141
 
3142
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3143
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3144
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3145
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3146
 
3147
    * Jats run_test command
3148
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3149
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3150
 
3151
    * descpkg file
3152
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3153
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3154
 
3155
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3156
     Now contains build trace information
3157
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3158
 
3159
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3160
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3161
     it contains 'jar' files.
3162
 
3163
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3164
 
3165
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3166
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3167
 
3168
   * BuildVersion directive
3169
     Form:
3170
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3171
     now works as expected.
3172
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3173
 
3174
Internal Changes:
3175
 
3176
    * Error reporting mechanism
3177
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
3178
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
3179
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
3191
    then starts.
3192
 
3193
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3194
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
3195
 
3196
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
3197
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3198
    non-platform option.
3199
 
279 dpurdie 3200
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

3219
 
3220
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
3221
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
3222
 
3223
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars

3265
        Wildcard correctly supports the [0-9] construct
3266
 
3267
Internal Changes:
3268
    * Environment
3269
      Export EnvVar GBE_HOSTMACH
3270
      This is the same as GBE_MACHTYPE, but it is not modified by legacy

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
3339
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3340
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3341
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
3355
 
3356
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
3357
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
3358
 
3359
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
3360
      New options:
3361
        no_define_source_file
3362
        define_source_file              (Default)
3363
 
3364
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3365
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3366
 
3367
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
3368
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
3369
      compatibility.
3370
 
3371
    * Jats directives: MakeProject

3374
            --InstallProgProd=list
3375
            --InstallProg=list
3376
 
3377
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
3378
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
3379
      GenerateCab.
3380
 
3381
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags
3382
      Now supports the --Debug and --Prod options like the other AddFlags
3383
      directives.

3533
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3534
      Previously was being done at two places
3535
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3536
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but

3617
         Support extends to allow:
3618
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3619
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3620
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3621
 
3622
        VS2005
3623
         Support extends to allow:
3624
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3625
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3626
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3627
 
3628
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3629
      through a version selector:
3630
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3631
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3632
 
3633
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3634
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3635
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3636
 
3637
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3638
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3639
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3640
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3641
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3642
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3643
          under VS2005.
3644
 
3645
Minor changes:
3646
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

3654
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3655
 
3656
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3657
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3658
 
3659
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3660
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3661
      a minimal value of perl.
3662
 
3663
      Removed excessive require statements.

3669
        2) Linux
3670
 
3671
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3672
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3673
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3674
      machines.
3675
 
3676
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3677

3681
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3682
 
3683
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3684
      wrapper scripts.
3685
 
3686
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3687
      Correct problem with location of build files.

3766
 
3767
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3768
    tagged data item of the form
3769
 
3770
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3771
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3772
 
3773
  * Mug File Generation
3774
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3775
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3776
 
3777
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3778
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3779
    required.
3780
 
3781
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3782
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3783
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3784
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3785
    the files in order to use them.
3786
 
3787
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3788
    locate the file.
3789
 
3790
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3791
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3792
 
3793
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3794
        * CSharp
3795
        * Properties
3796
        * WinRC
3797
 
3798
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3799
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3800
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3801
    Value is correctly assigned.
3802

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
3805
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3806
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3807
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3808
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3809
 
3810
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3811
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3812
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3813
 
3814
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3815
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3816
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3817
 
3818
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3819
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3820
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3821
 
3822
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3823
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3824
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3825
    correct.
3826
 
3827
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3828
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3829
 
3830
Minor changes:
3831
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3832
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3833
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3834
 
3835
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3836
    This will simplify new user setup.
3837
 
3838
  * All Unix Toolsets
3839
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3840
    on unix systems
3841
 
3842
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3843
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3844
    on some Solaris Machines.
3845
 
3846
  * JATS -version=<version>
3847
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3848
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3849
 
3850

245 dpurdie 3855
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 3856
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
3857
 
3858
Minor changes:
3859
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
3860
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
3861
 
3862
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
3863
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets
3864
 
3865
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
3866
      Does not work with LMOS
3867
 
3868
    * Readme.txt file
3869
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
3870
 
3871
    * Misc Cleanup
3872
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats
3873
      Move PostInstall script into the BUILD directory.

  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
3880
    Force compiler option -nOj
3881
    The default compiler option (-Oj) has been seen to cause problems with some
3882
    code. Problem reported/analysed by rparker and thunter.

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
3891
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
3892
 
3893
  * JATS builds
3894
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
3895
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
3896
    mode.
3897
 
3898
  * JATS makefiles
3899
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3900
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3901
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3902
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3903
                            SetList directive.
3904
 
3905

3912
        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
3913
 
3914
  * JATS buildfile processing
3915
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
3916
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
3917
    of JATS.
3918
 
3919
  * JATS save_build utility
3920
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
3921
    which may be reserved.
3922
 
3923

3924
    Correctly labels directories up to the VOB root.
3925
    Displays the correct 'Source Path' in the Release Manager Information.
3926
    Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only
3927
 
3928
  * JATS sandbox (experimental)
3929
    Ensure the AutoBuildTool does not use any sandbox
3930
 
3931

3937
 
3938
    * Escrow tool
3939
      Creates a simple HTML file that details all the packages with a short
3940
      description.

Minor changes:
239 dpurdie 3948
    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
3949
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
3950
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
3951
 
3952
    * MOS Toolset
3953
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
3954
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
3955
 
3956
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
3957
      can have production (PIC) components.
3958

3964
 
3965
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
3966
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
3967
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
3968
      Previously only worked on Windows
3969

    * New Toolset: BORLAND
3994
      The toolset uses the Borland C++ Builder 6 to build Borland Project
3995
      files via the MakeProject directive.
231 dpurdie 3996
 
235 dpurdie 3997

231 dpurdie 4001
Minor changes:
235 dpurdie 4002
    * Extract/Release utility.
4003
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
4004
      that can handle spaces
4005
 
4006
    * MOS Compiler
4007
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
4008
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
4009
 
4010
    * Utility: create_dpkg
4011
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
4012
      descpkg files to be copied.
4013
 
4014
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
4015
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
4016
 
4017
    * JATS ANT command
4018
      Better selection of the ant build file
4019
 
4020
    * Build directive: BuildVersion
4021
      Extended the WinRc version file to allow the name of an icon to be
4022
      embedded in the .RC file.

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 4030
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
4031
 
4032
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
4033
      <project> field.
4034
 
4035
    * CCdiff utility
4036
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
4037
 
4038
    * Escrow utility
4039
      Quote 'path' in the generated extraction commands
4040
      Allow escrow to be based on a single Release Manager package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4047
Major changes:
4048
 
4049
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 4050
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
4051
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
4052
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
4053
 
4054
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4055
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
4056
 
4057
    * Jats wrapper
4058
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
4059
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
4060

4062
Version: 2.72.00000.cr                                Released: 11-Jan-08
4063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4064
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 4065
    * Jats Release Mechanism
4066
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
4067
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
4068
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
4069
 
4070
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
4071
 
4072
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
4073
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
4074
 
4075
    * Running Jats
4076
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
4077
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
4078
      This may affect some windows developers.
4079
 
4080
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
4081
      Future versions will generate an error.
4082
 
4083
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
4084
 
4085
Minor changes:
4086
    * Perl Version Check
4087
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
4088
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
4089
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
4090
 
4091
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
4092
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
4093
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
4094
      build.
4095
 
4096
    * Jats Internals
4097
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4098
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4099
 
4100
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4101
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4102
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4103
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4104
      process.
4105
 
4106
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4107
      Only works under Windows.
4108
 
4109
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4110
 
4111
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4112
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4113
 
4114
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4115
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4116
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4117
 
4118
    * Jats eprog
4119
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4120
      directory.
4121
 
4122
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4123
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4124
      build metrics.
4125
 
4126

4128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4129
Major changes:
4130
 
4131
Minor changes:
4132
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4133
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4134
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4135
      automated build system. New options are:
4136
        -pname=Package_Name
4137
        -pversion=Package_Version
4138
 
4139
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4140
      transferring the package. New options are:
4141
        -test
4142
 
4143
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4144
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4145
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4146
 
4147
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4148
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4149
 
4150
    * Solaris Toolset
4151
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4152
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4153
      programs are still supported.
4154

4158
Major changes:
4159
 
4160
Minor changes:
4161
    * WINCE toolsets
4162
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4163
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4164
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4165
      when header files cannot be found.
4166
 
4167
    * GenerateFiles directive
4168
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4169
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4170
      that are difficult to solve.
4171
 
4172
    * MakePerlModule directive
4173
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4174
      to the the module builder.
4175
 
4176
    * Jats Tool: label
4177
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4178
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4179
      -dirs=xxx options.
4180
 
4181
    * Jats Tool: release
4182
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4183
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4184
 
4185
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4186
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4187
 
4188
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4189
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4190
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4191
 
4192
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4258
 
4259
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4260

4268
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4269
 
4270
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4271
      inconsistent packages.
4272
 
4273
    * jats make help
4274
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4275
      available within the current build.
4276
 
4277
    * jats makefiles
4278
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4279
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4280
 
4281
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4282
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4283
 
4284
    * gcc toolset
4285
      SharedLibries.
4286
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4287
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4288
 
4289
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4290
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4291
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4292
 
4293
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4294
        New options:
4295
            --MultiScan
4296
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4297
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4298
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4304
Major changes:
4305
 
4306
Minor changes:
4307
    PackageLib directive
4308
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4309
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4310
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4311
 
4312
    MakefileGenerate directive
4313
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4314
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4315
 
4316
    Multiple Parent detection
4317
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4318
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4319
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4320
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4321
 
4322
    Solaris Toolset
4323
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4324
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4325
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4326
    link.
4327
 
4328
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4329
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4330
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4331
 
4332
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4333
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4334
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4335
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4340
Major changes:
4341
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4342
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4343
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4344
 
4345
    Summary of changes:
4346
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4347
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4348
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4349
          flexibility.
4350
 
4351
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4352
 
4353
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4354
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4355
          interface directory and associated build information.
4356
 
4357
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4358
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4359
          than one second.
4360
 
4361
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4362
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4363
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4364
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4365
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4366
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4367
 
4368
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4369
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4370
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4371
 
4372
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4373
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4374
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4375
          building them.
4376
 
4377
        - Detection of build file changes
4378
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4379
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4380
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4381
 
4382
        - Quieter make output
4383
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4384
 
4385
 
4386
Minor changes:
4387
    MakeAnt Directive
4388
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4389
 
4390
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4391
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4392
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4393
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4394
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4395
 
4396
    CSHARP toolset
4397
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4398

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4406
    are generated.
4407
 
4408
    MakeAnt
4409
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4410
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4411
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4412
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4413

    MakeAnt directive extended
4425
    New option: --PackageBase
4426
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4427
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4428
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4429
 
4430
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4431
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4432
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4433
        package image being created.

4453
 
4454
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4455
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4456
 
4457
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4458
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4459
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4460
 
4461
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4462
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4463
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4464

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4493
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4494
 
4495
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4496
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4497
      last.
4498
 
4499
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4500
 
4501
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4502
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4503
 
4504
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4505
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4506
 
4507
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4508
 
4509
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4510
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4511
 
4512
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4513
 
4514
 
4515
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4516

4540
Major changes:
4541
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4542
 
4543
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4544
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4545
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4546
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4547
      path.
4548
 
4549
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4550
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4551
      reproducible.
4552
 
4553
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4554
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4555
 
4556
      There are several aspects to the change
4557
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4558
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4559
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4560
 
4561
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4562
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4563
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4564
          controlled separately.
4565
 
4566
Minor changes:
4567
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4568
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4569
        Remove duplicates
4570
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
4574
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4575
Major changes:
4576
 
4577
Minor changes:
4578
    * Makefile sanity test
4579
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4580
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4581
 
4582
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4583
      x86 machine.
4584
 
4585
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4586
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4587
 
4588
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4589
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4591
Major changes:
4592
    * RunTest directive
4593
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4594
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4595
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4596
 
4597
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4598
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4599
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4600
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4601
 
4602
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4603
        builder within the current toolset.
4604
 
4605
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4606
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4607
 
4608
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4609
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4610
      containing the RunTest directive.
4611
 
4612
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4613
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4614
 
4615
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4616
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4617
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4618
 
4619
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4620
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4621
                            P or D suffix.
4622
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4623
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4624
 
4625
Minor changes:
4626
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4627
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4628
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4629
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4630
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4631
 
4632
    * Save Build Utility
4633
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4634
      used in a ripple build.
4635
 
4636
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4637
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4638
 
4639
    * Release Utility
4640
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4641
      when an error is encountered.
4642
 
4643
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4644
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4645
 
4646
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4647
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4648
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4649
 
4650
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4651
      before the makefiles are created.
4652
 
4653
    * TestProg directive
4654
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4655
 
4656
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4657
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4658

4661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4662
Major changes:
4663
    * New build target
4664
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4665
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4666
 
4667
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4668
            DEVLINUX
4669
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4670
 
4671
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4672
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4673
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4674
 
4675
Minor changes:
4676
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4677
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4678
 
4679
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4680
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4681
 
4682
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4683
      and .cs files.
4684
 
4685
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4686
      thing.
4687
 
4688
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4689
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4690
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4691
      were it places temp files.
4692
 
4693
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4694
      interaction with other builds.
4695
 
4696
    * Release utility command
4697
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4698
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4699
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
4707
 
4708
    Supports the handling of .resx files
4709
 
4710
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
4711
    libraries
4712
 
4713
Minor changes:
4714
  * Unit Tests
4715
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
4716
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4717
 
4718
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

  * WINCE Support
4751
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4752
 
4753
  * Removed the following targets
4754
        TP5600
4755
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4756
        TP5600_EMU
4757
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4758
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4759
 
4760
  * Deployment
4761
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4762
 
4763
  * build.pl
4764
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4765
 
4766
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4767
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4768
 
4769
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4770
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4771
    build.
4772
 
4773
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4774
 
4775
  * Tool: escrow
4776
     New features
4777
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4778
     are not in the SBOM.
4779
 
4780
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4781
 
4782
     Specify packages to be ignored.

4786
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
4787
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4788
Major changes:
4789
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4790
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4791
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4792
 
4793
  * GenerateFiles
4794
    Added the options:
4795
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4796
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4797
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4798
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4799
 
4800
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4801
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4802
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4803
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4804
                                  required.
4805
 
4806
 
4807
Minor changes:
4808
  * GenerateFile directive
4809
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4810
 
4811
  * GCC Toolset
4812
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4813
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4814
    be rebuilt.
4815
 
4816
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4817
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4818
 
4819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4820
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4821
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4822
Major changes:
4823
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4824
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4825
    environment variables.
4826
 
4827
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4828
            moved.
4829
 
4830
    This will affect users that:
4831
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4832
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4833
 
4834
        2) Use the ABT system
4835
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4836
           the required configuration
4837
 
4838
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4839
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4840
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4841
    Windows
4842
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 4843
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
4844
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4845
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 4846
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 4847
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
4848
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4849
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 4850
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4851
 
4852
 
4853
  * New build platforms
4854
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4855
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4856
 
4857
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4858
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4859
 
4860
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4861
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4862
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4863
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4864
 
4865
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4866
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4867
    release.
4868
 
4869
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4870
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4871
 
4872
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4873
    need to be converted.
4874
 
4875
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4876
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4877
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4878
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4879
    used for different targets platforms.
4880
 
4881
  * Sandbox support
4882
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4883
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4884
 
4885
    New command: jats sandbox ...

4893
Major changes:
4894
  * MakeAnt directive
4895
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4896
 
4897
    New options
4898
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4899
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4900
 
4901
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4902
    run_unit_tests phase.
4903
 
4904
  * Sandbox support
4905
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4906
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4907
 
4908
Minor changes:
4909
  * jats build
4910
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4911
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4912
 
4913
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4914
 
4915
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4916
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4917
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4918
 
4919
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4920
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4921
 
4922
  * JATS.BAT
4923
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4924
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4925
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4926
 
4927
  * jats label
4928
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4929

  * New build platform:
4935
        LMOS_TP5600
4936
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4937
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4938
 
4939
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4940
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4941
    describe the group of platforms.
4942
 
4943
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4944
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4945
    build these targets.
4946
 
4947
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4948
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4949
 
4950
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4951
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4952
 
4953
  * New build platform: WINCE
4954
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4955
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4956
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4957
 
4958
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4959
            WCEIT3000
4960
            WCEPA961
4961
            WCEPA962
4962
            WCEPCM7220
4963
            WCEPSION_420
4964
            WCEPSPC_arm
4965
            WCEPSPC_emu
4966
            WCEX86A420
4967
            WCEX86A500
4968
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4969
 
4970
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4971
 
4972
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4973
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4974
    that contain packaging directives.
4975
 
4976
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4977
    very unusual configurations.
4978
 
4979
Minor changes:
4980
  * Directive: PackageFile
4981
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4982
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4983
    an '='.
4984
 
4985
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4986
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4987
 
4988
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4989
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4990
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4991
 
4992
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4993
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4994
 
4995
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4996
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4997
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4998
Major changes:
4999
 
5000
  * JATS release command
5001
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
5002
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
5003
 
5004
    Rules are:
5005
        Modify a file:      File will branch
5006
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
5007
                            File will be placed on a branch
5008
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
5009
                            New directory will branch
5010
 
5011
Minor changes:
5012
  * JATS release command
5013
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
5014
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
5015
 
5016
  * JATS label command
5017
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
5018
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
5019
 
5020
  * JATS make
5021
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
5022
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
5023
    was re-packaged.
5024
 
5025
  * JATS escrow
5026
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
5027
    Use jats escrow -help for details
5028
 
5029
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
5030
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
5031
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
5032
 
5033
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
5034
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
5035
    interface directory.
5036
 
5037
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
5038
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
5039
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
5040
    directory as seen by the package.
5041
 
5042
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
5043
 
5044
  * JAVA 6
5045
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
5046
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
5047
 
5048
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
5049
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
5050
 
5051
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
5052
 
5053
  * Jats command: vars
5054
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
5055
    These indicate potential problems.
5056
 
5057
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5058
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
5059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5060
Major changes:
5061
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
5062
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
5063
    libarry is also created.
5064
 
5065
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
5066
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
5067
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
5068
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
5069
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
5070
    information contained within the file.
5071
 
5072
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
5073
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
5074
 
5075
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
5076
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
5077
 
5078
  * Building Perl Modules
5079
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
5080
    documentation on the build machine.
5081
 
5082
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
5083
 
5084
Minor changes:
5085
  * jats create_dpkg
5086
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
5087
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
5088
 
5089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5090
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
5091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5092
Major changes:
5093
  * JATS JAVA build target
5094
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
5095
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5096
 
5097
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5098
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5099
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5100
    is then picked up as the default version.
5101
 
5102
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5103
    build.pl file.
5104
 
5105
Minor changes:
5106
  * jats release
5107
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5108
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5109
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5110
 
5111
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5112
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5113
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5114
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5115
    the name of the view.
5116
 
5117
  * GenerateFiles directive
5118
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5119
 
5120
  * MOS Toolset
5121
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5122
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5123
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5124
 
5125
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5126
 
5127
 
5128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5129
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5131
Major changes:
5132
 
5133
Minor changes:
5134
  * JATS environment
5135
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5136
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5137
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5138
 
5139
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5140
 
5141
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5142
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5143
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5144
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5145
    to be packaged.
5146
 
5147
  * Generated makefiles
5148
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5149
 
5150
  * Generating MOS THX files
5151
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5152
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5153
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5154
 
5155
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5156
 
5157
  * JATS release
5158
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5159
 
5160
  * JATS extract
5161
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5162
 
5163
  * JATS Toolset
5164
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5165
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5166
 
5167
 
5168
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5169
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5170
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5171
Major changes:
5172
 
5173
Minor changes:
5174
  * jats label
5175
    Added a -vob=name option
5176
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5177
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5178
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5179
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5180
 
5181
    Added a -user=name option
5182
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5183
    label to the named user.
5184
 
5185
  * jats release
5186
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5187
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5188
 
5189
  * JATS build.pl
5190
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5191
    ie:
5192
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5193
 
5194
 
5195
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5196
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5197
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5198
Major changes:
5199
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5200
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5201
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5202
    the makefile internals. ie:
5203
        --Var(BuildName)
5204
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5205
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5206
 
5207
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5208
 
5209
  * GenerateFiles
5210
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5211
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5212
 
5213
  * BuildPlatforms
5214
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5215
 
5216
Minor changes:
5217
  * GCC Toolset
5218
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5219
 
5220
Internal changes:
5221
  * GenerateFiles
5222
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5223
 
5224
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5225
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5226
 
5227
 
5228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5229
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5231
Major changes:
5232
  * Caching JATS
5233
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5234
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5235
 
5236
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5237
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5238
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5239
 
5240
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5241
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5242
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5243
 
5244
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5245
 
5246
Minor changes:
5247
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5248
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5249
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5250
 
5251
  * jats build
5252
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5253
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5254
    processed by the build.
5255
 
5256
  * jats build
5257
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5258
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5259
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5260
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5261
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5262
 
5263
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5264
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5265
    Path is not specified.
5266
 
5267
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5268
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5269
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5270
        --Dir=$Pinc
5271
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5272
 
5273
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5274
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5275
    Windows platform.
5276
 
5277
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5278
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5279
            by 'purecov.
5280
 
5281
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5282
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5283
 
5284
        - OPTIONS=purify
5285
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5286
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5287
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5288

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
5292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5293
Major changes:
5294
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5295
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5296
    Example:
5297
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5298
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5299
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5300
 
5301
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5302
    been determined.
5303
 
5304
Minor changes:
5305
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5306
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5307
    located at build-time.
5308
 
5309
  * Unix based systems
5310
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5311
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5312
 
5313
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5314
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5315
    driver being built.
5316
 
5317
 
5318

5322
 
5323
 
5324
Minor changes:
5325
  * jats_rewrite tool
5326
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
5327
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
5328
 
5329
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5330
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5331
 
5332
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5333
    dependancy information within a package.
5334
 
5335
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5336
    messages.

5344
 
5345
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5346
 
5347
    GenerateFiles.
5348
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5349
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5350
                      be run on every invocation.
5351
 
5352
 
5353
Minor changes:
5354
  * Added the jats version command
5355
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
5356
 
5357
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
5358
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5359
  There are two mechanism:
5360
 
5361
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5362
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5363
 
5364
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5365
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5366
 
5367
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5368
  default.
5369
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5370
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
5371

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5375
Major changes:
5376
  * SunWorks Toolset
5377
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5378
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5379
    It is based on machine type.
5380
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5381
 
5382
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5383
 
5384
Minor changes:
5385

5393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5394
Major changes:
5395
  * GCC Toolset
5396
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
5397
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5412
 
5413
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5414
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5415
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5416
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5417
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5418
 
5419
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5420
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5421
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5422
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5423
 
5424
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5425
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

5438
 
5439
Minor changes:
5440
  * JATS wrapper script
5441
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5442
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5443
    to setup links to system programs.
5444

    Added CompileOptions
5466
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5467
        no_misalign         - Default
5468
 
5469
        multithread         - Default
5470
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
5471
 
5472
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5473
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
5474
 
5475

5484
 
5485
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5486
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5487
    Theses are:
5488
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5489
        SOLARIS_AMD
5490
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5491
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5492
 
5493
Minor changes:
5494

Major changes:
5505
 
5506
Minor changes:
5507
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5508
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5509
    messages
5510
 
5511
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5512
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5513
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5514
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5515
 
5516
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5517

5518
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5519
Major changes:
5520
 
5521
Minor changes:
5522
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5523
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5524
    library without creating the body of the library:
5525
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5526
 
5527
 
5528
  * MOS toolsets
5529
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5530
    library without creating the body of the library:
5531
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5532
 
5533
  * JATS BIN directories
5534
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5535
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5536
    using autoconf.
5537
 
5538
  * Generate directive
5539
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5540
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5541
 
5542
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5543
 
5544

5546
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5548
Major changes:
5549
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5550
    Initial release.
5551
 
5552

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5556
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5558
Major changes:
5559
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5560
    Initial release.
5561
 
5562
  * Packaging directives
5563
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5564
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5565
 
5566
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5567
        SOLARIS
5568
        WIN32
5569
 
5570
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5571
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5572
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5573
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5574
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5575
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5576
 
5577
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5578
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5579
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5580
 
5581
 
5582
Minor changes:
5583
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5584
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5585
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5586
 
5587
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5588
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5589
    location
5590
 
5591
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5592
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5593
 
5594
  * Utility genrc
5595
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5596
 
5597
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5598
    Added option: -new
5599
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5600
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5601
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5602
 
5603
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5604
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5605
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5606
 
5607
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5608
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5609
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5610
 
5611
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5612
   features - in a uniform manner.
5613
 
5614
 
5615
Internal Changes:
5616
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5617
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5618
 
5619
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5620
        1) Platform information available at build time
5621
        2) Dynamic platform names
5622
 
5623
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5624
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5625
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5626
 
5627
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5628
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5629
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5630
 
5631
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5632
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5633
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5634
    needed.
5635
 
5636
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5637
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5638
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5639
    files from all of these.
5640

5642
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

5644
Major changes:
5645
 
5646
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5651
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5652
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5653
Major changes:
5654
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5655
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5656
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5657
 
5658
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5659
 
5660
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5661
    the operations.
5662
 
5663
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5664
 
5665
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5666
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5667
 
5668
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5669
 
5670
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5671
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5672
 
5673
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5674
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5675
    Extended the built-in help
5676
    Added useful error messages
5677
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5678
 
5679
  * WinCE toolset
5680
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5681
 
5682
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5683
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5684
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5685
 
5686
Minor changes:
5687
  * JATS wrapper script
5688
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5689
    the command line.
5690
 
5691
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5692
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5693
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5694
 
5695
Internal Changes:
5696
  * Common Error Reporting
5697
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5698
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5699
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5700
    level.
5701
 
5702
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5703
    displayed.
5704
 
5705
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5706
 
5707
  * Added JatsSystem module
5708
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5709
------------------------------------------------------------------------

5717
    .def files to include other files.
5718
 
5719
  * IAR toolset
5720
    Added AT7272 support
5721
 
5722
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5723
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5724
 
5725

5732
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5733
    use.
5734
 
5735
 
5736
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5737

5739
Major changes:
5740
 
5741
Minor changes:
5742
  * Mictotec toolset
5743
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5744
    builds.
5745
 
5746
  * JATS Core
5747
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5748
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5749
    behaviour.
5750
 
5751
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5752
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5753
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5754
Major changes:
5755
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5756
    Deployment package will be affected.
5757
 
5758
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5759
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5760
 
5761
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5762
 
5763
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5764
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5765
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5766
    packages.
5767
 
5768
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5769
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5770
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5771
 
5772
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5773
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5774
 
5775
Minor changes:
5776
  * SubDir directive
5777
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5778
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5779
 
5780
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5781
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5782
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5783
    of the file usage.
5784
 
5785
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5786
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5787
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5788
 
5789
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5790
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5791
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5792
 
5793
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5794
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5795
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5796
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5797
 
5798
 
5799
Internal Changes:
5800
  * Code refactor
5801
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5802
 
5803
  * Deployment utilities
5804
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5805
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5806
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5807
    the module can locate the file.
5808
 
5809
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5810
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5811
 
5812
  * JATS core
5813
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5814
 
5815
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5816
 
5817
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5818
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5819
    through the use of environment variables.
5820
 
5821
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5822
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5823
 
5824
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5825
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5826
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5827
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5828
 
5829
  * Make environment
5830
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5831
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5832
 
5833
 
5834

5835
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5837
Major changes:
5838
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5839
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5840
 
5841
 
5842
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5843
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5844
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5845
 
5846
Not Released.
5847
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5848
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5849
 
5850
 
5851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5852
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5854
Major changes:
5855
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5856
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5857
    radically replaced.
5858
 
5859
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5860
    Usage:
5861
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5862
 
5863
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5864
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5865
    this solution:
5866
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5867
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5868
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5869
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5870
 
5871
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5872
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5873
    order to work.
5874
 
5875
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5876
    reduced functionality.
5877
 
5878
 
5879
Minor changes:
5880
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5881
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5882
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5883
 
5884
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5885
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5886
    within the makefiles.
5887
        Options:
5888
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5889
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5890
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5891
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5892
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5893
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5894
        Useage:
5895
 
5896
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5897
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5898
 
5899
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5900
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5901
    is not in the current directory.
5902
 
5903
  * Jats Command: ant'
5904
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5905
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5906
 
5907
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5908
 
5909
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5910
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5911
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5912
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5913
 
5914
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5915
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5916
    Thus
5917
 
5918
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5919
 
5920
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5921
 
5922
 
5923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5924
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5925
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5926
Major changes:
5927
 
5928
Minor changes:
5929
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5930
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5931
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5932
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5933
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5934
 
5935
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5936
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5937
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5938
 
5939
Internal changes:
5940
  * JATS toolsets
5941
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5942
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5943
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5944
 
5945
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5946
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5947
 
5948
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5949
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5951
Major changes:
5952
  * Jats command: etool
5953
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5954
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5955
 
5956
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5957
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5958
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5959
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5960
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5961
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5962
 
5963
Minor changes:
5964
 
5965
 
5966
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5967
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5968
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5969
Major changes:
5970
  * JATS environment variables
5971
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5972
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5973
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5974
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5975
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5976
 
5977
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5978
              Remote repository
5979
 
5980
    Added GBE_DPLY
5981
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5982
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5983
 
5984
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5985
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5986
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5987
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5988
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5989
 
5990
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5991
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5992
 
5993
 
5994
Minor changes:
5995
  * JATS utility: build
5996
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5997
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5998
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5999
 
6000
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
6001
    Ensure label is not locked
6002
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
6003
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
6004
 
6005
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
6006
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
6007
    to a specific type of build.
6008
 
6009
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
6010
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
6011
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
6012
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
6013
 
6014
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
6015
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
6016
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
6017
 
6018
  * JATS utility: release
6019
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
6020
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
6021
 
6022
  * JATS utility: label
6023
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
6024
    when it is being created.
6025
 
6026
Internal Changes
6027
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
6028
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
6029
 
6030
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
6031
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
6032
 
6033
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
6034
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
6035
    different results.
6036
 
6037
  * ToolsetRequire directive
6038
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
6039
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
6040
 
6041
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6042
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
6043
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6044
Major changes:
6045
 
6046
  * MCR toolset
6047
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
6048
 
6049
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6050
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
6051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6052
Major changes:
6053
  * WIN32 utilities
6054
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
6055
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
6056
 
6057
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
6058
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
6059
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
6060
 
6061
Minor changes:
6062
  * BuildVersion
6063
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
6064
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
6065
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
6066
 
6067
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
6068
 
6069
  * Unix Builds
6070
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
6071
    library or a shared library.
6072
 
6073
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
6074
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
6075
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
6076
    start with 'lib'.
6077
 
6078
  * BuildPkgArchive
6079
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
6080
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
6081
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
6082
 
6083
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6084
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
6085
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6086
Major changes:
6087
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6088
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
6089
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
6090
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
6091
    being manually maintained.
6092
 
6093
 
6094
Minor changes:
6095
  * MakeAnt directive
6096
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
6097
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
6098
    supports ANT builds.
6099
 
6100
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6101
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
6102
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
6103
 
6104
  * Label utility
6105
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
6106
    files to be labeled.
6107
 
6108
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
6109
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
6110
    on Solaris.
6111
 
6112
  * Generated makefiles
6113
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
6114
    nothing.
6115
 
6116
  * MOS Toolset
6117
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
6118
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
6119
    modules.
6120
 
6121
  * Utility: gen_cots
6122
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
6123
    and then check it in under clearcase.
6124
 
6125
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
6126
 
6127
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
6128
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
6129
 
6130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6131
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
6132
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6133
Major changes:
6134
  None
6135
 
6136
Minor changes:
6137
  * DEVI addressed
6138
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6139
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6140
 
6141
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6142
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6143
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6144
 
6145
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6146
 
6147
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6148
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6149
 
6150
  * RunTest directive
6151
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6152
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6153
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6154
 
6155
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6156
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6157
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6158
    packaged under JATS
6159
 
6160
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6161
          supported within JATS.
6162
 
6163
  * Jats utility wrapper
6164
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6165
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6166
 
6167
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6168
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6169
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6170
 
6171
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6172
    Eg: jats ant
6173
 
6174
  * Jats utility wrapper
6175
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6176
 
5710 dpurdie 6177
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6178
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6179
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6180
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6181
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6182
 
5710 dpurdie 6183
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6184
    expect a build.pl file.
6185
 
6186
  * Jats utility wrapper
6187
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6188
 
6189
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6190
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6191
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6192
 
6193
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6194
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6195
 
6196
  * Build files
6197
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6198
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6199

6201
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6202
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6203
Major changes:
6204
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6205
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6206
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6207
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6208
 
6209
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6210
 
6211
Minor changes:
6212
  * None
6213
 
6214
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6215
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6216
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6217
Major changes:
6218
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6219
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6220
    ie:
6221
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6222
 
6223
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6224
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6225
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6226
    environments are compatible.
6227
 
6228
 
6229
Minor changes:
6230
  * BuildName option
6231
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6232
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6233
 
6234
  * jats.bat
6235
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6236
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6237
 
6238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6239
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6240
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6241
Major changes:
6242
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6243
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6244
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6245
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6246
 
6247
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6248
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6249
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6250
 
6251
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6252
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6253
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6254
 
6255
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6256
    transferred.
6257
 
6258
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6259
    See notes below.
6260
 
6261
  * WIN32 toolset
6262
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6263
    correctly.
6264
 
6265
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6266
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6267
 
6268
  * BuildVersion
6269
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6270
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6271
    other langauges as needed.
6272
 
6273
 
6274
Minor changes:
6275
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6276
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6277
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6278
    version strings.
6279
 
6280
  * GenerateFiles directive
6281
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6282
    package or an imported package.
6283
 
6284
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6285
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6286
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6287
 
6288
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6289
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6290
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6291
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6292
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6293
 
6294
Internal Changes
6295
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6296
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6297
    of utilities.
6298
 
6299
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6300
    functions.
6301
 
6302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6303
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6305
Major changes:
6306
  * Generated makefiles
6307
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6308
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6309
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6310
 
6311
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6312
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6313
    incorrectly processing:
6314
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6315
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6316
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6317
    confused.
6318
 
6319
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6320
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6321
    The construct
6322
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6323
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6324
    then it works.
6325
 
6326
  * MakeAnt directive
6327
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6328
 
6329
    This option has the following effects
6330
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6331
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6332
 
6333
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6334
           early - in the generated files phase.
6335
 
6336
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6337
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6338
 
6339
 
6340
Minor changes:
6341
  * JATS post-installation script
6342
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6343
 
6344
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6345
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6346
    windows.
6347
 
6348
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6349
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6350
 
6351
  * Jats wrapper script
6352
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6353
        1) Contain spaces
6354
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6355
 
6356
  * Toolset
6357
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6358
 
6359
  * JAVA toolset
6360
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6361
    directive:
6362
 
6363
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6364
 
6365
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6366
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6367
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6368
 
6369
  * GCC Toolset
6370
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6371
 
6372
  * Makefile generation
6373
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6374
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6375
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6376
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6377
    package could not be used.
6378
 
6379
  * Unit Tests
6380
    The following environment variables are set:
6381
 
6382
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6383
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6384
 
6385
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6386
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6387
 
6388
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6389
 
6390
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6391
 
6392
 
6393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6394
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6395
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6396
Major changes:
6397
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6398
 
6399
    Special features of this toolset.
6400
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6401
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6402
       incorporated within the target image.
6403
 
6404
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6405
       --Set=Name=Value
6406
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6407
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6408
 
6409
       --Ref=name
6410
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6411
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6412
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6413
                will be taken from the build version number.
6414
 
6415
Minor changes:
6416
  * MOS Toolset
6417
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6418
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6419
    packaged.
6420
 
6421
  * Src directive
6422
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6423
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6424
    specifier.
6425
 
6426
  * WIN32 runtime support
6427
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6428
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6429
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6430
 
6431
Internal:
6432
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6433
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6434
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6435
 
6436
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6437
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6438
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6439
Major changes:
6440
    * BuildAlias directive
6441
      Added options.
6442
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6443
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6444
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6445
                          targets.
6446
      Eg:
6447
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6448
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6449
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6450
 
6451
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6452
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6453
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6454
 
6455
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6456
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6457
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6458
 
6459
 
6460
Minor changes:
6461
  * Label utility
6462
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6463
    build.pl file
6464
 
6465
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6466
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6467
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6468
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6469
    --FilterIn option.
6470
 
6471
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6472
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6473
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6474
 
6475
  * Location of descpkg file
6476
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6477
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6478
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6479
 
6480
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6481
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6482
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6483
Major changes:
6484
  * RunTest directive
6485
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6486
    Additional options
6487
      --CopyIn=file
6488
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6489
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6490
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6491
        the test area.
6492
 
6493
    Additional operations
6494
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6495
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6496
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6497
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6498
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6499
    Allows flags:
6500
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6501
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6502
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6503
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6504
 
6505
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6506
    existence is tested.
6507
 
6508
  * Packaging Directives
6509
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6510
    such as LMOS.
6511
 
6512
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6513
 
6514
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6515
 
6516
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6517
 
6518
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6519
 
6520
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6521
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6522
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6523
 
6524
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6525
 
6526
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6527
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6528
 
6529
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6530
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6531
 
6532
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6533
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6534
 
6535
Minor changes:
6536
  * Script directive
6537
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6538
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6539
 
6540
  * JATS environment
6541
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6542
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6543
    the JATS wrapper script.
6544
 
6545
  * Label utility
6546
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6547
    There are three modes of operation:
6548
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6549
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6550
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6551

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6554
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6555
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6556
Major changes:
6557
 
6558
Minor changes:
6559
  * label utility
6560
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6561
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6562
 
6563
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6564
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6565
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6566
      --ProgLoader=name
6567
 
6568
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6569
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6570
    Options to do this are:
6571
        --TreeDir=name
6572
        --FilterOut=regexp
6573
        --FilterIn=regexp
6574
        --StripDir
6575
 
6576
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6577
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6578
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6579
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6580
 
6581
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6582
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6583
 
6584
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6585
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6586
 
6587
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6588
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.

6592
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6593
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6594
Major changes:
6595
    * Make commands
6596
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6597
 
6598
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6599
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6600
 
6601
    * Label utility
6602
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6603
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6604
 
6605
Minor changes:
6606
    * Toolsets
6607
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6608
      variables and overrides.
6609
 
6610
      The make_init target is always run.
6611
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6612
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6613
 
6614
    * Deployment
6615
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6616
      with deployment operations.
6617
 
6618
    * Release utility
6619
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6620
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6621
      restricted by options within the build.
6622
 
6623
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6624
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6625
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6626
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6627
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6628
 
6629
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6630
      directives.
6631
 
6632
    * MakeProject directive
6633
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6634
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6635
 
6636
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6637
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6638
      is preserved.
6639
 
6640
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6641
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6642
      statements.
6643
 
6644
    * Mugfile generation
6645
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6646
      be placed in the target package.
6647
 
6648
 
6649
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6650
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6651
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6652
Major changes:
6653
    * BuildVersion directive
6654
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6655
      number as well as a patch number.
6656
 
6657
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6658
      number.
6659
 
6660
Minor changes:
6661
    * AddFlags directives
6662
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6663
      duplicate flags being added.
6664
 
6665
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6666
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6667
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6668
 
6669
    * Mug File Generation
6670
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6671
 
6672
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6673
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6674
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6675
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6676
     directory.
6677
 
6678
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6679
     reproducible.
6680
 
6681
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6682
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6684
Major changes:
6685
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6686
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6687
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6688
      longer a list of directories.
6689
 
6690
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6691
      done within the toolset.
6692
 
6693
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6694
 
6695
    * JATS environment variables
6696
      Redefined variable
6697
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6698
                          Previously was a list that included the
6699
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6700
 
6701
      New variable
6702
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6703
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6704
 
6705
 
6706
Minor changes:
6707
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6708
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6709
      target platforms to be extracted.
6710
 
6711
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6712
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6713
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6714
 
6715
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6716
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6717
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6718
 
6719
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6720
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6721
 
6722
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6723
      Support ANT based XML files
6724
 
6725
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6726
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6727
      structure.
6728
 
6729
    * makefile.pl's
6730
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6731
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6732
 
6733
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6734
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6735
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6736
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6737
 
6738
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6739
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6740
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6741
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6742
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6743
      -- Auto.
6744
 
6745
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6746
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6747
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6748
 
6749
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6750
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6751
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6752
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6753
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6754
 
6755
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6756
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6757
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6758
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6759
      installed on the machine.
6760
 
6761
    * WINCE Targets
6762
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6763
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6764
 
6765
 
6766
 
6767
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6768
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6770
Major changes:
6771
    * WIN32 platforms
6772
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6773
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6774
      and installed packages.
6775
 
6776
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6777
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6778
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6779
 
6780
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6781
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6782
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6783
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6784
      searched when looking for libraries.
6785
 
6786
Minor changes:
6787
    * GenerateFiles directive
6788
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6789
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6790
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6791
                          and drive letter
6792
 
6793
    * Src directive
6794
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6795
      directory of a package.
6796
 
6797
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6798
 
6799
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6800
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6801
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6802
 
6803
    * jats_rewrite utility
6804
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6805
 
6806
 
6807
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6808
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6809
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6810
Major changes:
6811
    * SunWorks production builds
6812
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6813
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6814
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6815
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6816
      compiler documentation.
6817
 
6818
    * MOS Toolset
6819
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6820
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6821
 
6822
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6823
 
6824
Minor changes:
6825
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6826
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6827
      This should not affect current users.
6828
 
6829
    * Mugfile generation
6830
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6831
      specified.
6832
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6833
 
6834
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6837
Major changes:
6838
    MOS Toolset
6839
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6840
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6841
 
6842
Minor changes:
6843
    * Jats wrapper script
6844
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6845
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6846
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6847
 
6848
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6849
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6850
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6851
      may be suspect.
6852
 
6853
    * GenerateFiles directive
6854
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6855
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6856
 
6857
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6858
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6860
Major changes:
6861
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6862
      build.xml files.
6863
 
6864
Minor changes:
6865
    * WIN32 toolset.
6866
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6867
 
6868
    * MakeAnt
6869
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6870
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6871
 
6872
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6873
 
6874
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6875
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6876
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6877
 
6878
    * MakeAnt directive
6879
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6880
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6881
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6882
 
6883
      Recommended usage:
6884
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6885
 
6886
Internal Changes
6887
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6888

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6892
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6893
Major changes:
6894
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6895
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6896
      files packaged into the release.
6897
 
6898

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6902
 
6903
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6904
      The recommended platform is:
6905
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6906
 
6907
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6908
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6909
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6910
      components.
6911
 
6912
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

6916
 
6917
Minor changes:
6918
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6919
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6920
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6921
      by the package to be accessed.
6922
 
6923
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6924
      application or visual studio.
6925
 
6926
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6927
      and the JATS Core path.
6928
 
6929
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6930
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6931
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6932
 
6933
    * MOS Toolset
6934
      Add support for the TPT device
6935
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6936
 
6937
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6938
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6939
 
6940
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6941
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6942
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6943
 
6944
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6945
 
6946
Internal Changes
6947
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6948
      in jats.pl
6949
 
6950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6951
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6952
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6953
Major changes:
6954
    * JATS wrapper script
6955
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6956
 
6957
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6958
 
6959
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6960
 
6961
Minor changes:
6962
    * Deployment support
6963
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6964
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6965
 
6966
    * 'build'
6967
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6968
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6969
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6970
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6971
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6972
 
6973
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6974
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6975
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6976
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6977
                                      the link phase.
6978
 
6979
    * BuildPkgArchive
6980
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6981
      Previously these were ignored.
6982
      Minor code cleanup
6983
 
6984
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6985
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6986
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6987
 
6988
    * SOLARIS targets
6989
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6990
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6991
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6992
 
6993
    * MugFile generation
6994
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6995
      included in the final package.
6996
 
6997
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6998
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6999
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
7000
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
7001
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
7002
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
7003
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
7004
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
7005
 
7006
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
7007
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
7008
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
7009
            --Option=(some_text)
7010
            --Option=[some_text]
7011
            --Option={some_text}
7012
 
7013
Internal Changes
7014
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
7015
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
7016
      code.
7017
 
7018

7019
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
7020
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7021
Major changes:
7022
    * JATS wrapper script
7023
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
7024
 
7025
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
7026
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
7027
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
7028
      other components.
7029
 
7030
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
7031
 
7032
    * JATS
7033
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
7034
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
7035
 
7036
    * Build operations
7037
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
7038
      if required packages are built against different versions of
7039
      packages.
7040
 
7041
    * Make operations
7042
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
7043
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
7044
 
7045
Minor changes:
7046
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
7047
      deployment builds.
7048
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
7049
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
7050
 
7051
      Extended the "jats vars" display
7052
 
7053
    * build.pl
7054
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
7055
        processed. Allows
7056
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
7057
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
7058
        production.
7059
 
7060
    * MOS toolset
7061
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
7062
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
7063
 
7064
    * create_dpkg utility
7065
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
7066
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
7067
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
7068
      progress of the build.
7069
 
7070
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
7071
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
7072
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
7073
      system.
7074
 
7075
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7076
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
7077
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7078
Major changes:
7079
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7080
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
7081
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
7082
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
7083
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
7084
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
7085
 
7086
    * WCEX86A500 target
7087
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
7088
 
7089
    * MOS Toolsets
7090
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
7091
      the compiler.
7092
 
7093
    * RunTest directive
7094
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
7095
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7096
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7097
 
7098
Minor changes:
7099
    * JATS BUILD
7100
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7101
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7102
      highlight bad settings.
7103
 
7104
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7105
      access to extensions.
7106
 
7107
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7108
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7109
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7110
Major changes:
7111
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7112
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7113
 
7114
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7115
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7116
      under unix.
7117
 
7118
Minor changes:
7119
    * label utility
7120
      Added options to:
7121
        o Delete a label
7122
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7123
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7124
 
7125
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7126
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7127
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7128
      Package directives.
7129
 
7130
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7131
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7132
      system.
7133
 
7134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7135
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7136
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7137
Major changes:
7138
    * MOS Toolset
7139
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7140
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7141
 
7142
    * WIN32 Toolset
7143
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7144
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7145
      list.
7146
 
7147
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7148
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7149
 
7150
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7151
 
7152
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7153
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7154
 
7155
 
7156
Minor changes:
7157
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7158
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7159
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7160
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7161
      corrected.
7162
 
7163
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7164
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7165
 
7166
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7167
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7168
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7169

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7171
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7172
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7173
Major changes:
7174
    * WIN32 Toolset
7175
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7176
      use with multithreaded modes.
7177
 
7178
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7179
      --OnlyProd.
7180
 
7181
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7182
      within the makefile.pl.
7183
 
7184
Minor changes:
7185
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7186
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7187
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7188
      platforms.
7189
 
7190
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7191
 
7192
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7193
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7194
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7195
Major changes:
7196
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7197
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7198
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7199
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7200
 
7201
    * Preliminary Support
7202
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7203
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7204
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7205
 
7206
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7207
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7208
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7209
 
7210
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7211
      building. The default build will build both.
7212
 
7213
Minor changes:
7214
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7215
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7216
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7217
 
7218
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7219
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7220
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7221
 
7222
 
7223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7224
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7226
Major changes:
7227
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7228
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7229
      or all.
7230
 
7231
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7232
      the library or program.
7233
 
7234
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7235
 
7236
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7237
      library or any debug files.
7238
 
7239
    * GenerateFiles
7240
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7241
 
7242
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7243
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7244
 
7245
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7246
              The filename of the prereq file
7247
 
7248
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7249
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7250
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7251
 
7252
 
7253
Minor changes:
7254
    * create_dpkg utility
7255
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7256
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7257
      the package has been altered.
7258

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7260
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7262
Major changes:
7263
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7264
      This is a WINCE target
7265
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7266
 
7267
    * New toolset
7268
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7269
 
7270
    * Modified toolset
7271
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7272
 
7273
    * Modified toolset
7274
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7275
 
7276
Minor changes:
7277
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7278
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7279
 
7280
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7281
 
7282
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7283
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7284
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7285
 
7286
      The change allows the construct
7287
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7288
      to be replaced by the simpler
7289
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7290
 
7291
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7292
      specified name.    
7293

7312
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7313
Major changes:
7314
    * The "package.pl" file.
7315
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7316
      package name being taken from the build name
7317
 
7318
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7319
      package Build Name.
7320
 
7321
Minor changes:
7322
    * create_dpkg utility
7323
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7324
 
7325

7331
    * Dependancy generator
7332
      Correct two common situations
7333
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7334
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7335
           ansi, but is often done.
7336
 
7337
    * GCC toolset
7338
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7339
      being created in the correct place.
7340
 
7341
    * jats "label"
7342
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7343
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7344
 
7345
 
7346
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7349
Major changes:
7350
 
7351
Minor changes:
7352
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7353
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7354
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7355
 
7356
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7357
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7358
 
7359
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7360
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7361
      package was not being transferred.
7362
 
7363

7367
    * Support for solaris_i386
7368
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7369
      binaries for this target.
7370
 
7371
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7372
      with the GCC compiler.
7373
 
7374
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7375
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7376
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7377
 
7378
Minor changes:
7379
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7380
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7381
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7382
 
7383
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7384
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7385
 
7386
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7387
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7388
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7389
Major changes:
7390
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7391
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7392
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7393
 
7394
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7395
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7396
 
7397
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7398
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7399
      with either " or ' characters.
7400
 
7401
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7402
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7403
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7404
 
7405
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7406
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7407
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7408
 
7409
    * Jats wrapper
7410
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7411
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7412
      further commands.
7413
 
7414
Minor changes:
7415
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7416
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7417
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7418
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7419
 
7420
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7421
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7422
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7423
Major changes:
7424
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7425
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7426
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7427
 
7428
      These options operation affect all components within the
7429
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7430
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7431
 
7432
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7433
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7434
 
7435
Minor changes:
7436
 
7437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7438
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7439
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7440
Major changes:
7441
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7442
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7443
 
7444
Minor changes:
7445
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7446
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7447
 
7448
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7449
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7450
 
7451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7452
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7454
Major changes:
7455
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7456
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7457
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7458
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7459
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7460
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7461
      installed.
7462
 
7463
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7464
      libraries that depend on each other.
7465
 
7466
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7467
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7468
 
7469
Minor changes:
7470
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7471
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7472
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7473
 
7474
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7475
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7476
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7477
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7478
 
7479
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7480
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7482
Major changes:
7483
 
7484
Minor changes:
7485
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7486
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7487
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7488
      file.
7489
 
7490
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7491
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7492
 
7493
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7494
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7495
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7496
 
7497
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7498
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7499
 
7500
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7501
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7502
 
7503
    * WinCE toolsets
7504
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7505
      compiler specific libraries.
7506
 
7507
    * SOLARIS toolset
7508
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7509
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7510
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7511
 
7512
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7513
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7514
      cleaned up.
7515
 
7516
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7517
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7518
 
7519
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7520
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7521
      with either " or ' characters.
7522
 
7523
 
7524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7525
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7527
Major changes:
7528
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7529
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7530
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7531
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7532
 
7533
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7534
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7535
 
7536
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7537
      user.
7538
 
7539
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7540
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7541
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7542
 
7543
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7544
      for the   -Gf option.
7545
 
7546
Minor changes:
7547
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7548
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7549
 
7550
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7551
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7552
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7553
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7554
 
7555
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7556
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7558
Major changes:
7559
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7560
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7561
 
7562
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7563
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7564
      data addresses for the board.
7565
 
7566
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7567
 
7568
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7569
 
7570
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7571
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7572
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7573
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7574
         PackageFile
7575
 
7576
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7577
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7578
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7579
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7580
 
7581
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7582
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7583
      to be installed and packaged.
7584
 
7585
Minor changes:
7586
 
7587
    * cache_dpkg utility
7588
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7589
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7590
 
7591
    * label utility
7592
      New option -auto to create and label
7593
 
7594
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7595
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7596
 
7597
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7598
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7599
      directory. ie:
7600
 
7601
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7602
 
7603
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7604
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7605
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7606
 
7607
 
7608
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7609
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7611
Major changes:
7612
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7613
 
7614
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7615
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7616
 
7617
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7618
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7619
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7620
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7621
 
7622
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7623
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7624
      compilation.
7625
 
7626
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7627
 
7628
Minor changes:
7629
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7630
      one is being produced.
7631
 
7632
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7633
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7634
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7635
 
7636
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7637
 
7638
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7639
 
7640
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7641
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7642
 
7643
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7644
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7645
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7646
Major changes:
7647
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7648
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7649
 
7650
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7651
 
7652
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7653
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7654
      same directory
7655
 
7656
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7657
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7658
      documenattion.
7659
 
7660
Minor changes:
7661
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7662
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7663
 
7664
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7665
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7666
 
7667
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7668
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7669
 
7670
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7671
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7672
 
7673
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7674
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7675
      be exempt from this test.
7676
 
7677
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7678
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7679
 
7680
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7681
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7682
 
7683
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7684
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7685
      does.
7686
 
7687
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7688
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7689
 
7690
 
7691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7692
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7694
Major changes:
7695
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7696
 
7697
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7698
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7699
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7700
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7701
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7702
 
7703
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7704
      operations.
7705
 
7706
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7707
 
7708
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7709
 
7710
Minor changes
7711
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7712
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7713
 
7714
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7715
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7716
      directory is not added to the library path.
7717
 
7718
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7719
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7720
 
7721
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7722
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7723
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7724
 
7725
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7726
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7727
      specific flags.
7728
 
7729
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7730
 
7731
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7732
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7733
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7734
 
7735
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7736
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7737
      JATS.
7738
 
7739
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7740
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7741
 
7742
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7743
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7744
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7745
 
7746
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7747
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7748
 
7749
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7750
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7751
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7752
 
7753
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7754
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7755
 
7756
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7757
 
7758
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7759
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7760
 
7761
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7762
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7763
      objects.
7764
 
7765
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7766
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
