662
 
663
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward

665
      duplicates corrected.

668
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now

670
 
671
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
672
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
673
      displayed at the end of the build process.

867
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
868
 
869
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
870
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build

874
    * Jats caching
875
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
876
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

902
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
903
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
904
 
905
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
906
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
907
 
908
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
909
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

Minor changes:
1200
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1201
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1202
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1203
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1204
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1205
 
1206
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1207
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

1216
      Added options:
1217
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1218
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1219
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1220
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1221
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1222
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1223
 
1224
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1225
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
1226
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
1227
 
1228
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
1229
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

1233
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1234
Major changes:
1235
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1236
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1237
      intended to build deployed software.
1238
 
1239
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1240
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1241
 
1242
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1243
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1244
 
1245
Minor changes:
1246
    * Jats wrapper script
1247
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1248
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1249
      Subversion instance of the command.
1250
 
1251
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1252
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1253
 
1254
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1255
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1256
 
1257
    * Utility: jats upddep
1258
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1259
      file under windows.
1260
 
1261
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1262
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1263
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1264
 
1265
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1266
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1267
 
1268
    * GCC Toolchain
1269
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1285
Major changes:
1286
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1287
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1288
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1289
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1290
 
1291
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1292
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1302
Minor changes:
1303
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1304
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1305
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1306
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1307
      line.
1308
 
1309
    * Jats Configuration
1310
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1311
 
1312
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1313
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1314
      and Linux.
1315
 
1316
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1317
      correctly rippled.

Minor changes:
1325
    * Jats Core
1326
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1327
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1328
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1329
 
1330
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1331
      Used only by the build daemons.
1332
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1333
 
1334
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1335
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1336
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

1341
Major changes:
1342
 
1343
Minor changes:
1344
    * svnrelease utility
1345
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1346
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1347
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1348
 
1349
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1350
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1351
      the named tag.
1352
 
1353
    * svnrelease utility
1354
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1355
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1367
 
1368
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1369
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1370
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1371
 
1372
    * ALL Toolsets
1373
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1374
 
1375
    * Utility vcsdiff
1376
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1377
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1378
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

1390
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1391
      repository.
1392
 
1393
    * Subversion Support
1394
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1395
      showing the user what to do.
1396
 
1397
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1398
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1399
      we have build support for this target.
1400
 
1401
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1402
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1403
 
1404
Internal:
1405
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1406
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1407
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1408
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

1426
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1427
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1428
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots

2429 dpurdie 1440
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1441
Major changes:
1442
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1443
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1444
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1445
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1446
 
1447
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1448
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1449
      windows path scheme.
1450
 
1451
Minor changes:
1452
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1453
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1454
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1455
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1456
 
1457
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1458
        jats make clobber
1459
      This operates as before.
1460
 
1461
    * Utility: escrow
1462
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1463
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1464
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1465
 
1466
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1467
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1468
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1469
 
1470
    * Utility: svn : url
1471
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1472
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1473
 
1474
    * Utility: svn : import
1475
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1476
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1477
 
1478
    * Subversion Support
1479
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1480
      showing the user what to do.
1481
 
1482
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1483
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1484
      repositories.

1489
 
1490
Minor changes:
1491
    * Jats build
1492
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1493
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1494
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1495
 
1496
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1497
      command, with a sandbox.

1510
                 Can also display available branches.
1511
 
2054 dpurdie 1512

1518
 
1519
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1520
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1521
      Modified two options:
1522
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1523
                        The named branch must not exist
1524
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1525
                        The named branch must exist
1526
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

1560
 
1561
Major changes:
1562
    * Jats Version Number
1563
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

1582
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1583
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1584
 
1585
Minor changes:
1586
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1587
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1588
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1589
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1590
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1591
 
1592
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1593
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1594

1595
 
1596
    * Linux support utilities
1597
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format

    * Subversion Repository location
1606
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
1607
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1608
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1609
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

1612
Minor changes:
1613
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1614
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1615
 
1616
    * Utility: svnrelease
1617
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1618
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1619
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1620
 
1621
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1622
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1623
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1624
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1625
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1626
 
1627
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1628
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1629

1632
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1633
 
1634
      Subcommand: populate
1635
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1636
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1637
      sandbox.
1638
 
1639
    * Subversion Support
1640
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1641
      repository is not supported.
1642
 
1643
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1644
      a progress indication.
1645
 
1646
    * Jats Online Documentation
1647
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1648
      online documentation.
1649
 
1650
    * Generated makefiles
1651
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 1701

Major changes:
1729
 
1730
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1731
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1732
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1733
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1734
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
1735
 
1736
    * C# Toolchain
1737

1750
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
1751
 
1752
    * Utility ccrelease
1753
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
1754
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
1755
 
1756
    * Utility: svn
1757

Major changes:
1787
 
1788
Minor changes:
1789
    * Command: jats clobber
1790
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1791
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1792
 
1793
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1794
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1795
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1796
 
1797
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1798
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1799
 
377 dpurdie 1800
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1801
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1802
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1803
 
1804
    * jats svnlabel
1805
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1806
 
1807
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1808
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1809
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1810
 
1811
    * Built Daemon support
1812
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1813
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches

1819
    * GCC Toolset
1820
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1821
      New methodology is:
1822
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1823
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1824
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1825
        as the main binary.
1826
 
1827
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1828
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1829
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1830
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1831
      both worlds.
1832

1968
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1969
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1970
      be forced.
1971

      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1973

    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1975
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1976
 
1977
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow

1979
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1980
 
1981
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1982
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1983
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1984
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.

2000
      character.
2001
 
2002
    * Toolset: SunWorks
2003
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
2004
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
2005
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
2006
      masking an error.
2007

2029
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
2030
      'jats make show' command.
2031
 
2032
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2033

347 dpurdie 2216
      correctly delete the package that it was transferring. Previously it
345 dpurdie 2217
      could leave a partially transferred package.
2218
 
2219
    * Utility: create_dpkg [DEVI-063950 ]

2222
 
2223
    * makefile.pl directives
2224
      Corrects and extended the operation of the platform-specifier.
2225
      All non-platform options must be true, while the platform names are
2226
      treated as before - any of them may be true. See MASS-00166 for full
2227
      details.

2239
    * Jats Sandbox operation
2240
      Don't remove .RUL files in sandbox testing of the build files
2241
 
2242
    * Jats MakeProject directive
2243
      Added --TargetDebug= and --TargetProd=  to allow the default target
2244
      of the project builds to be specified.
2245
 
2246
      Can be used in all targets that use a Visual Studio project or solution
2247
      to build a package.
2248
 
2249
    * MergeLibrary directive
2250
      New sub-option --InterfacePlain
2251
      This will allow the use of 3rd party libraries that do not have a P or D
2252
      suffix in the library name.
2253
 
2254
    * GenerateFiles directive
2255
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
2256
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
2257
 
2258
    * BuildPlatform
2259
      New option: --NoToolSet
2260
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
2261
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
2262
 
2263
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
2264
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
2265
      need toolset specific information.
2266
 
2267
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
2268
 
2269
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
2270
 
2271
Internal:

    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
2273
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
2274
      processing into jats.pl
2275
 
2276
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
2277
      a ClearCase site.

2378
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
2379
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
2380
      resulting in multiple builds.
2381
 
2382
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
2383
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
2384
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
2385
 
2386
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
2387
 
2388
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2389
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
2390
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

2397
Minor changes:
2398
    * Jats label command
2399
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2400
      Not recommended for general use.
2401
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2402
      directories within the current view.
2403
 
2404
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2405
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2406
      elsewhere.
2407
 
2408
    * Jats save_build
2409
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2410
      the determination of a branch.
2411
 
2412
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2413
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2414
 
2415
    * Jats build
2416
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2417
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2418
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2419
 
2420
    * Borland6 toolset
2421
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2422
      to match the documented install location of:
2423
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2424
 
2425
    * Jats build
2426
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2427
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2428
      This is a very quick operation.
2429
 
2430
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2431
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2432
 
2433
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2434
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2435
      files are only recreated if need be.
2436
 
2437
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2438
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2439
      make the package.
2440
 
2441
    * Jats sandbox
2442
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2443
 
2444
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2445
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2446
 
2447
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2448
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2449
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2450
      is performed.
2451
 
2452
Internal:

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2490
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2491
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2492
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2493
 
2494
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2495
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2496
 
2497
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2498
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2499
      platform builds.
2500
 
2501
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2502
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2503
      directory tree.
2504
 
2505

2519
Major changes:
2520
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2521
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2522
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2523
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2524
 
2525
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2526
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2527
 
2528
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2529
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2530
 
2531
      Examples:
2532
            jats upddep -show
2533
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2534
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2535
 
2536
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2537
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2538
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2539
 
2540
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2541
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2542
 
2543
Minor changes:
2544

2551
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2552
Major changes:
2553
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2554
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2555
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2556
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2557
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2558
      stream.
2559
 
2560
      Example:
2561
 
2562
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2563
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2564
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2565
                     );
2566
Minor changes:
2567
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2568
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2569
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2570
      directive.
2571
 
2572
    * GCC Toolkit
2573
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2574
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2575
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2576
      the point of termination.
2577
 
2578
    * Jats save_build utility
2579
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2580
      under windows.
2581
 
2582
    * Jats sandbox
2583
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2584
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2585
      in different sandboxes.
2586
 
2587
    * Jats release
2588
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2589

319 dpurdie 2599
      directory.
2600
 
2601
    * jats label utility
2602
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2603
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2604
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2605
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2606
 
2607
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

Major changes:
317 dpurdie 2613
 
2614
Minor changes:
2615
    * WinCe Toolsets
2616
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2617
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2618
        noExceptions            - Disable
2619
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2620
      Example:
2621
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2622
 
2623
    * Solaris targets
2624
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2625
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2626
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2627
      machine type.

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
2631
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2632
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2633
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2634
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2635
      project files.
2636
 
2637
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2638
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2639
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2640
 
2641
Minor changes:
2642
    * Added more internal documentation
2643
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2644
 
2645
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2646
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2647
 
2648
    * Jats save_build utility
2649
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2650
      under windows.
2651
 
2652
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2653
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2654
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2655
      libraries.
2656
 
2657
    * Solaris builds
2658
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2659
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2660
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2661
      of the build failure.
2662
 
2663
 
2664
Internal changes:
2665
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2666
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2667
 
2668
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2669
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
2673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2674
Major changes:
2675
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2676
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2677
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2678
      existing 32-bit builds.
2679
 
2680
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
2681
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
2682
 
2683
Minor changes:
2684
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
2685
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2686
 
2687
    * Package searching
2688
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2689
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2690
 
2691
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2692
 
2693
    * jats help
2694
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2695
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2696
 
2697
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2698
      with one of:
2699
        jats -h
2700
        jats help jats
2701
 
2702
Internal:
2703
    * cmdfile utility
2704
      Added macros:
2705
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2706
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2707
 
2708
      Corrected
2709
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
2710
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
2711
 
2712
      Extended
2713
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2714
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2715
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2716
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

2721
Major changes:
2722
 
2723
Minor changes:
2724
 
2725
Internal changes
2726
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2727
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2728
      Useful side effects include:
2729
 
2730
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2731
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2732
 
2733
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2734
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2735
 
2736
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2737
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2738
        BuildPkgArchive
2739
 
313 dpurdie 2740
    * Perl Modules
2741
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2742
      release. This will:
2743
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2744
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2745
          reported by ERG.
2746
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

2751
Major changes:
2752
 
2753
Minor changes:
2754
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2755
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2756
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2757
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2758
 
2759
    * Jats label utility
2760
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2761
 
2762
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2763
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2764
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2765
 
2766
    * Jats core
2767
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2768
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2769
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
2778
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2779
      This is now fixed.
2780
 
309 dpurdie 2781
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2782
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2783
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2784
 
2785
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2786
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
2787
 
2788

2793
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 2794
    * Generating makefiles
2795
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2796
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2797
      an error.
2798
 
2799
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2800
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2801
 
2802
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2803
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 2804
      Refer the JATS Manual.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2809
Major changes:
2810
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2811
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2812
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2813
 
2814
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2815
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2816
 
2817
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2818
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2819
      Support includes
2820
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2821
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2822
 
2823
Minor changes:
2824
    * Build file processing
2825
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2826
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2827
 
2828
    * MOS builds
2829
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2830
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2831
 
2832
    * MOS builds
2833
      New 'known' product: PICP
2834
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2835
 
2836
    * GenerateFiles directive
2837
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2838
        under windows.
2839
 
2840
        .
2841
 
2842
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2843
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2844
 
2845
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2846
      to the output stream.
2847
 
2848
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2849
 
2850
    * Windows Shell
2851
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2852
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2853
 
2854
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2855
 
2856
    * H8S toolset
2857
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2858
 
2859
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2860
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2861
 
2862
Internal changes
2863
    * WinCe builds
2864
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2865
      content of the file.
2866
 
2867
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2868
 
2869
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2870
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2882
Major changes:
2883
 
2884
Minor changes:
2885
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2886
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2887
      Changes are transparent to users.
2888
 
2889
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2890
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2891
      this occurs.
2892
 
2893
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2894
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2895
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2896
      automated build framework.
2897
 
2898
    * jats sandbox command
2899
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2900
      'create' command.
2901
 
2902
    * jats command aliases. Added
2903
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2904
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

2908
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2909
Major changes:
2910
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2911
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2912
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2913
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2914
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2915
      will work as expected
2916
 
2917
Minor changes:
2918
    * VS2008 Toolset
2919
      Picking up incorrect config details
2920
      May result in a warning message.
2921
 
2922
    * gen_cots utility
2923
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2924
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2925
 
2926
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2927
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
2928
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2975
Major changes:
2976
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2977
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2978
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2979
 
2980
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2981
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2982
 
2983
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2984
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2985
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2986
           names cannot be changed.
2987
 
2988
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2989
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2990
 
2991
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2992
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2993
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2994
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2995
 
2996
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2997
      file.
2998
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2999
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
3000
      MyPackage.dpk.
3001
 
3002
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
3003
      file.
3004
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
3005
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
3006
      MyDll.dpr.
3007
 
3008
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
3009
      file.
3010
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
3011
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
3012
      MyProg.dpr.
3013
 
3014
Minor changes:
3015
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
3016
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
3017
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
3018
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
3019
 
3020
    * BuildVersion directive
3021
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
3022
      in a Delphi Unit.
3023
 
3024
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
3025
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
3026
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
3027
      'know' the location of the files.
3028
 
3029
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
3030
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
3031
 
3032
Internal Changes:
3033
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
3034
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
3035
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
3036
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
3037
 
3038
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
3039
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
3040
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

3044
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3045
Major changes:
3046
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
3047
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
3048
      information for purely C++ builds.
3049
 
289 dpurdie 3050
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
3051
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 3052
 
289 dpurdie 3053
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order

3055
            Manager
287 dpurdie 3056
 
3057
Minor changes:
3058
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

3062
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
3063

3100
    * New command: jats make show
3101
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
3102
      used in the build.
3103
 
3104
    * Escrow command
3105
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
3106
 
3107
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
3108
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3109
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3110
 
3111
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3112
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
3113

277 dpurdie 3116
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3117
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3118
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3119
 
279 dpurdie 3120
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3121
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3122
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3123
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3124
 
3125
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3126
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3127
 
3128
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3129
 
3130
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3131
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3132
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3133
 
3134
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3135
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3136
        processed.
3137
 
3138
      Removed the '-delete' option
3139
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3140
 
277 dpurdie 3141
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3142
    * Sandbox command
3143
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3144
 
3145
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3146
      target from consideration in the build set.
3147
 
3148
    * MCR Toolset
3149
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3150
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3151
 
3152
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3153
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3154
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3155
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3156
 
3157
    * Jats run_test command
3158
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3159
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3160
 
3161
    * descpkg file
3162
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3163
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3164
 
3165
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3166
     Now contains build trace information
3167
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3168
 
3169
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3170
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3171
     it contains 'jar' files.
3172
 
3173
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3174
 
3175
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3176
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3177
 
3178
   * BuildVersion directive
3179
     Form:
3180
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3181
     now works as expected.
3182
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3183
 
3184
Internal Changes:
3185
 
3186
    * Error reporting mechanism
3187
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
3188
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
3189
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
3201
    then starts.
3202
 
3203
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3204
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
3205
 
3206
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
3207
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3208
    non-platform option.
3209
 
279 dpurdie 3210
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

3275
        Wildcard correctly supports the [0-9] construct
3276
 
3277
Internal Changes:
3278
    * Environment
3279
      Export EnvVar GBE_HOSTMACH
3280

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
3349
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3350
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3351
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
3368
 
3369
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
3370

        no_define_source_file
3372
        define_source_file              (Default)
3373
 
3374
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3375
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3376
 
3377
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
3378
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
3379
      compatibility.
3380
 
3381
    * Jats directives: MakeProject

3543
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3544
      Previously was being done at two places
3545
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3546
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3547

3626
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3627
         Support extends to allow:
3628
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3629
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3630
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3631
 
3632
        VS2005
3633
         Support extends to allow:
3634
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3635
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3636
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3637
 
3638
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3639
      through a version selector:
3640
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3641
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3642
 
3643
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3644
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3645
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3646
 
3647
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3648
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3649
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3650
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3651
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3652
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3653
          under VS2005.
3654
 
3655
Minor changes:
3656
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

3664
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3665
 
3666
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3667
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3668
 
3669
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3670
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3671
      a minimal value of perl.
3672
 
3673
      Removed excessive require statements.
3674

3679
        2) Linux
3680
 
3681
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3682
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3683
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3684
      machines.
3685
 
3686
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3687

3691
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3692
 
3693
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3694
      wrapper scripts.
3695
 
3696
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3697
      Correct problem with location of build files.

  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3769
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3770
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3771
    supported for ANT builds.
3772
 
3773
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3774
        releasemanager.releasename
3775
        releasemanager.projectname
3776
 
3777
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3778
    tagged data item of the form
3779
 
3780
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3781
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3782
 
3783
  * Mug File Generation
3784
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3785
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3786
 
3787
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3788
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3789
    required.
3790
 
3791
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3792
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3793
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3794
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3795
    the files in order to use them.
3796
 
3797
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3798
    locate the file.
3799
 
3800
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3801
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3802
 
3803
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3804
        * CSharp
3805
        * Properties
3806
        * WinRC
3807
 
3808
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3809
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3810
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3811
    Value is correctly assigned.
3812

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
3815
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3816
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3817
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3818
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3819
 
3820
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3821
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3822
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3823
 
3824
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3825
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3826
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3827
 
3828
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3829
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3830
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3831
 
3832
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3833
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3834
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3835
    correct.
3836
 
3837
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3838
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3839
 
3840
Minor changes:
3841
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3842
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3843
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3844
 
3845
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3846
    This will simplify new user setup.
3847
 
3848
  * All Unix Toolsets
3849
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3850
    on unix systems
3851
 
3852
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3853
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3854
    on some Solaris Machines.
3855
 
3856
  * JATS -version=<version>
3857
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3858
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3859

245 dpurdie 3865
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 3866
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
3867
 
3868
Minor changes:
3869
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
3870

3875
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
3876
      Does not work with LMOS
3877
 
3878
    * Readme.txt file
3879
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
3880
 
3881
    * Misc Cleanup
3882
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats
3883
      Move PostInstall script into the BUILD directory.

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
3901
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
3902
 
3903
  * JATS builds
3904
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
3905
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
3906
    mode.
3907
 
3908
  * JATS makefiles
3909
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3910
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3911
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3912
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3913
                            SetList directive.
3914
 
3915

3922
        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
3923
 
3924
  * JATS buildfile processing
3925
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
3926
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
3927
    of JATS.
3928
 
3929
  * JATS save_build utility
3930
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
3959
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
3960
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
3961
 
3962
    * MOS Toolset
3963
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
3964
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
3965
 
3966
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
3977
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
3978
      Previously only worked on Windows

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4002
Major changes:
235 dpurdie 4003
    * New Toolset: BORLAND
4004
      The toolset uses the Borland C++ Builder 6 to build Borland Project
4005
      files via the MakeProject directive.
231 dpurdie 4006
 
235 dpurdie 4007
      In this release there is no support for native compilation and linking.

231 dpurdie 4011
Minor changes:
235 dpurdie 4012
    * Extract/Release utility.
4013
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
4014
      that can handle spaces
4015
 
4016
    * MOS Compiler
4017
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
4018
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
4019
 
4020
    * Utility: create_dpkg
4021
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
4022
      descpkg files to be copied.
4023
 
4024
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
4025
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
4041
 
4042
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
4043
      <project> field.
4044
 
4045
    * CCdiff utility
4046
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.

Major changes:
4058
 
4059
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 4060
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
4061
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
4062
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
4063
 
4064
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4065
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
4066
 
4067
    * Jats wrapper
4068
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
4069
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4074
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 4075
    * Jats Release Mechanism
4076
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
4077
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
4078
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
4079
 
4080
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
4081
 
4082
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
4083
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
4084
 
4085
    * Running Jats
4086
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
4087
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
4088
      This may affect some windows developers.
4089
 
4090
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
4091
      Future versions will generate an error.
4092
 
4093
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
4094
 
4095
Minor changes:
4096
    * Perl Version Check
4097
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
4098
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
4099
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
4100
 
4101
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
4102
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
4103
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
4104
      build.
4105
 
4106
    * Jats Internals
4107
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4108
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4109
 
4110
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4111
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4112
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4113
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4114
      process.
4115
 
4116
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4117
      Only works under Windows.
4118
 
4119
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4120
 
4121
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4122
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4123
 
4124
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4125
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4126
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4127
 
4128
    * Jats eprog
4129
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4130
      directory.
4131
 
4132
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4133
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4134
      build metrics.
4135
 
4136

4139
Major changes:
4140
 
4141
Minor changes:
4142
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4143
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4144
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4145
      automated build system. New options are:
4146
        -pname=Package_Name
4147
        -pversion=Package_Version
4148
 
4149
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4150
      transferring the package. New options are:
4151
        -test
4152
 
4153
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4154
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4155
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4156
 
4157
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4158
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4159
 
4160
    * Solaris Toolset
4161
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4162
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4163
      programs are still supported.

Major changes:
4169
 
4170
Minor changes:
4171
    * WINCE toolsets
4172
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4173
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4174
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4175
      when header files cannot be found.
4176
 
4177
    * GenerateFiles directive
4178
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4179
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4180
      that are difficult to solve.
4181
 
4182
    * MakePerlModule directive
4183
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4184
      to the the module builder.
4185
 
4186
    * Jats Tool: label
4187
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4188
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4189
      -dirs=xxx options.
4190
 
4191
    * Jats Tool: release
4192
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4193
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4194
 
4195
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4196
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4197
 
4198
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4199
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4200
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4201
 
4202
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4209
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
4210
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
4211
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
4212
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
4213
 
4214
Minor changes:
4215
    * label utility
4216
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
4217
 
4218
    * make package and install operations
4219
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
4220
      transfer.
4221
 
4222
    * make clean up
4223
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4224
 
4225
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4226
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4227
      minor file transformations such as:
4228
        Copy, with optional rename
4229
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4230
        Perform simple TAG replacement
4231
 
4232
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
4233
 
4234
    * jats release utility
4235
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4236
      in place.
4237
 
4238
    * escrow utility
4239
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
4240
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
4248
    * Makefile generation
4249
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4250
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4251
      generate phase early.

4256
Major changes:
4257
 
4258
Minor changes:
4259
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4260
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4261
 
4262
    * Makefile generation
4263
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4264
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4265
 
4266
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4267
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4268
 
4269
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4270
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4271
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4272
 
4273
    * jats_rewrite utility
4274
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4275
 
4276
    * jats escrow utility
4277
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4278
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4279
 
4280
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4281
      inconsistent packages.
4282
 
4283
    * jats make help
4284
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4285
      available within the current build.
4286
 
4287
    * jats makefiles
4288
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4289
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4290
 
4291
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4292
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4293
 
4294
    * gcc toolset
4295
      SharedLibries.
4296
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4297
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4298
 
4299
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4300
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4301
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4302
 
4303
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4304
        New options:
4305
            --MultiScan
4306
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4307
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4308
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4314
Major changes:
4315
 
4316
Minor changes:
4317
    PackageLib directive
4318
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4319
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4320
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4321
 
4322
    MakefileGenerate directive
4323
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4324
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4325
 
4326
    Multiple Parent detection
4327
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4328
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4329
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4330
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4331
 
4332
    Solaris Toolset
4333
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4334
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4335
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4336
    link.
4337
 
4338
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4339
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4340
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4341
 
4342
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4343
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4344
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4345
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4350
Major changes:
4351
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4352
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4353
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4354
 
4355
    Summary of changes:
4356
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4357
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4358
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4359
          flexibility.
4360
 
4361
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4362
 
4363
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4364
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4365
          interface directory and associated build information.
4366
 
4367
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4368
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4369
          than one second.
4370
 
4371
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4372
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4373
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4374
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4375
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4376
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4377
 
4378
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4379
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4380
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4381
 
4382
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4383
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4384
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4385
          building them.
4386
 
4387
        - Detection of build file changes
4388
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4389
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4390
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4391
 
4392
        - Quieter make output
4393
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4394
 
4395
 
4396
Minor changes:
4397
    MakeAnt Directive
4398
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4399
 
4400
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4401
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4402
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4403
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4404
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4405
 
4406
    CSHARP toolset
4407
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4408

Minor changes:
4415
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4416
    are generated.
4417
 
4418
    MakeAnt
4419
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4420
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4421
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4422
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4423
 
4424
    MCR platform
4425
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

4433
Minor changes:
4434
    MakeAnt directive extended
4435
    New option: --PackageBase
4436
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4437
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4438
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4439
 
4440
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4441
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4442
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4443
        package image being created.

4462
    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4463
 
4464
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4465
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4466
 
4467
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4468
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4469
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4470
 
4471
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4472
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4473
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4474
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4503
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4504
 
4505
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4506
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4507
      last.
4508
 
4509
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4510
 
4511
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4512
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4513
 
4514
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4515
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4516
 
4517
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4518
 
4519
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4520
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4521
 
4522
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4523
 
4524
 
4525
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4526
           with the --System option
4527
 
4528

4539
      dependent packages.
4540
 
4541
    * RunTest operation
4542
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4543
 
4544

4550
Major changes:
4551
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4552
 
4553
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4554
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4555
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4556
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4557
      path.
4558
 
4559
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4560
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4561
      reproducible.
4562
 
4563
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4564
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4565
 
4566
      There are several aspects to the change
4567
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4568
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4569
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4570
 
4571
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4572
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4573
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4574
          controlled separately.
4575
 
4576
Minor changes:
4577
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4578
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4579
        Remove duplicates
4580
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4581

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
4584
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4585
Major changes:
4586
 
4587
Minor changes:
4588
    * Makefile sanity test
4589
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4590
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4591
 
4592
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4593
      x86 machine.
4594
 
4595
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4596
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4597
 
4598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4599
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4601
Major changes:
4602
    * RunTest directive
4603
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4604
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4605
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4606
 
4607
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4608
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4609
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4610
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4611
 
4612
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4613
        builder within the current toolset.
4614
 
4615
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4616
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4617
 
4618
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4619
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4620
      containing the RunTest directive.
4621
 
4622
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4623
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4624
 
4625
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4626
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4627
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4628
 
4629
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4630
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4631
                            P or D suffix.
4632
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4633
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4634
 
4635
Minor changes:
4636
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4637
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4638
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4639
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4640
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4641
 
4642
    * Save Build Utility
4643
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4644
      used in a ripple build.
4645
 
4646
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4647
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4648
 
4649
    * Release Utility
4650
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4651
      when an error is encountered.
4652
 
4653
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4654
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4655
 
4656
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4657
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4658
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4659
 
4660
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4661
      before the makefiles are created.
4662
 
4663
    * TestProg directive
4664
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4665
 
4666
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4667
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4668

Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
4671
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4672
Major changes:
4673
    * New build target
4674
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4675
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4676
 
4677
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4678
            DEVLINUX
4679
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4680
 
4681
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4682
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4683
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4684
 
4685
Minor changes:
4686
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4687
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4688
 
4689
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4690
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4691
 
4692
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4693
      and .cs files.
4694
 
4695
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4696
      thing.
4697
 
4698
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4699
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4700
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4701
      were it places temp files.
4702
 
4703
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4704
      interaction with other builds.
4705
 
4706
    * Release utility command
4707
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4708
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4709
      component in the clearcase tag name.

4714
Major changes:
4715
  * Support for building CSHARP code
4716
    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
4717
 
4718
    Supports the handling of .resx files
4719
 
4720
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
4721
    libraries
4722
 
4723
Minor changes:
4724
  * Unit Tests
4725
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
4726
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4727
 
4728
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
4729
    as a Script.

  * WINCE Support
4761
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4762
 
4763
  * Removed the following targets
4764
        TP5600
4765
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4766
        TP5600_EMU
4767
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4768
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4769
 
4770
  * Deployment
4771
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4772
 
4773
  * build.pl
4774
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4775
 
4776
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4777
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4778
 
4779
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4780
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4781
    build.
4782
 
4783
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4784
 
4785
  * Tool: escrow
4786
     New features
4787
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4788
     are not in the SBOM.
4789
 
4790
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4791
 
4792
     Specify packages to be ignored.

Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
4797
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4798
Major changes:
4799
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4800
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4801
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4802
 
4803
  * GenerateFiles
4804
    Added the options:
4805
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4806
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4807
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4808
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4809
 
4810
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4811
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4812
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4813
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4814
                                  required.
4815
 
4816
 
4817
Minor changes:
4818
  * GenerateFile directive
4819
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4820
 
4821
  * GCC Toolset
4822
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4823
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4824
    be rebuilt.
4825
 
4826
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4827
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4828
 
4829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4830
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4832
Major changes:
4833
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4834
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4835
    environment variables.
4836
 
4837
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4838
            moved.
4839
 
4840
    This will affect users that:
4841
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4842
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4843
 
4844
        2) Use the ABT system
4845
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4846
           the required configuration
4847
 
4848
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4849
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4850
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4851
    Windows
4852
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 4853
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
4854
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4855
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 4856
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 4857
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
4858
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 4859
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 4860
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4861
 
4862
 
4863
  * New build platforms
4864
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4865
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4866
 
4867
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4868
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4869
 
4870
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4871
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4872
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4873
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4874
 
4875
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4876
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4877
    release.
4878
 
4879
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4880
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4881
 
4882
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4883
    need to be converted.
4884
 
4885
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4886
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4887
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4888
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4889
    used for different targets platforms.
4890
 
4891
  * Sandbox support
4892
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4893
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4894
 
4895
    New command: jats sandbox ...

4902
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4903
Major changes:
4904
  * MakeAnt directive
4905
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4906
 
4907
    New options
4908
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4909
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4910
 
4911
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4912
    run_unit_tests phase.
4913
 
4914
  * Sandbox support
4915
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4916
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4917
 
4918
Minor changes:
4919
  * jats build
4920
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4921
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4922
 
4923
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4924
 
4925
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4926
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4927
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4928
 
4929
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4930
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4931
 
4932
  * JATS.BAT
4933
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4934
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4935
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4936
 
4937
  * jats label
4938
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4939
 
4940
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4941
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4942
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4943
Major changes:
4944
  * New build platform:
4945
        LMOS_TP5600
4946
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4947
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4948
 
4949
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4950
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4951
    describe the group of platforms.
4952
 
4953
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4954
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4955
    build these targets.
4956
 
4957
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4958
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4959
 
4960
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4961
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4962
 
4963
  * New build platform: WINCE
4964
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4965
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4966
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4967
 
4968
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4969
            WCEIT3000
4970
            WCEPA961
4971
            WCEPA962
4972
            WCEPCM7220
4973
            WCEPSION_420
4974
            WCEPSPC_arm
4975
            WCEPSPC_emu
4976
            WCEX86A420
4977
            WCEX86A500
4978
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4979
 
4980
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4981
 
4982
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4983
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4984
    that contain packaging directives.
4985
 
4986
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4987
    very unusual configurations.
4988
 
4989
Minor changes:
4990
  * Directive: PackageFile
4991
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4992
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4993
    an '='.
4994
 
4995
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4996
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4997
 
4998
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4999
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
5000
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
5001
 
5002
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
5003
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
5004
 
5005
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5006
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
5007
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5008
Major changes:
5009
 
5010
  * JATS release command
5011
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
5012
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
5013
 
5014
    Rules are:
5015
        Modify a file:      File will branch
5016
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
5017
                            File will be placed on a branch
5018
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
5019
                            New directory will branch
5020
 
5021
Minor changes:
5022
  * JATS release command
5023
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
5024
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
5025
 
5026
  * JATS label command
5027
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
5028
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
5029
 
5030
  * JATS make
5031
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
5032
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
5033
    was re-packaged.
5034
 
5035
  * JATS escrow
5036
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
5037
    Use jats escrow -help for details
5038
 
5039
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
5040
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
5041
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
5042
 
5043
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
5044
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
5045
    interface directory.
5046
 
5047
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
5048
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
5049
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
5050
    directory as seen by the package.
5051
 
5052
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
5053
 
5054
  * JAVA 6
5055
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
5056
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
5057
 
5058
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
5059
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
5060
 
5061
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
5062
 
5063
  * Jats command: vars
5064
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
5065
    These indicate potential problems.
5066
 
5067
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5068
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
5069
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5070
Major changes:
5071
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
5072
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
5073
    libarry is also created.
5074
 
5075
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
5076
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
5077
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
5078
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
5079
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
5080
    information contained within the file.
5081
 
5082
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
5083
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
5084
 
5085
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
5086
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
5087
 
5088
  * Building Perl Modules
5089
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
5090
    documentation on the build machine.
5091
 
5092
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
5093
 
5094
Minor changes:
5095
  * jats create_dpkg
5096
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
5097
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
5098
 
5099
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5100
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
5101
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5102
Major changes:
5103
  * JATS JAVA build target
5104
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
5105
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5106
 
5107
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5108
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5109
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5110
    is then picked up as the default version.
5111
 
5112
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5113
    build.pl file.
5114
 
5115
Minor changes:
5116
  * jats release
5117
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5118
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5119
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5120
 
5121
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5122
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5123
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5124
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5125
    the name of the view.
5126
 
5127
  * GenerateFiles directive
5128
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5129
 
5130
  * MOS Toolset
5131
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5132
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5133
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5134
 
5135
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5136
 
5137
 
5138
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5139
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5140
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5141
Major changes:
5142
 
5143
Minor changes:
5144
  * JATS environment
5145
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5146
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5147
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5148
 
5149
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5150
 
5151
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5152
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5153
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5154
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5155
    to be packaged.
5156
 
5157
  * Generated makefiles
5158
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5159
 
5160
  * Generating MOS THX files
5161
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5162
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5163
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5164
 
5165
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5166
 
5167
  * JATS release
5168
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5169
 
5170
  * JATS extract
5171
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5172
 
5173
  * JATS Toolset
5174
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5175
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5176
 
5177

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5179
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5180
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5181
Major changes:
5182
 
5183
Minor changes:
5184
  * jats label
5185
    Added a -vob=name option
5186
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5187
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5188
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5189
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5190
 
5191
    Added a -user=name option
5192
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5193
    label to the named user.
5194
 
5195
  * jats release
5196
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5197
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5198
 
5199
  * JATS build.pl
5200
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5201
    ie:
5202
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5203
 
5204
 
5205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5206
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5208
Major changes:
5209
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5210
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5211
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5212
    the makefile internals. ie:
5213
        --Var(BuildName)
5214
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5215
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5216
 
5217
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5218
 
5219
  * GenerateFiles
5220
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5221
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5222
 
5223
  * BuildPlatforms
5224
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5225
 
5226
Minor changes:
5227
  * GCC Toolset
5228
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5229
 
5230
Internal changes:
5231
  * GenerateFiles
5232
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5233
 
5234
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5235
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5236
 
5237
 
5238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5239
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5240
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5241
Major changes:
5242
  * Caching JATS
5243
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5244
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5245
 
5246
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5247
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5248
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5249
 
5250
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5251
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5252
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5253
 
5254
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5255
 
5256
Minor changes:
5257
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5258
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5259
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5260
 
5261
  * jats build
5262
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5263
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5264
    processed by the build.
5265
 
5266
  * jats build
5267
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5268
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5269
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5270
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5271
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5272
 
5273
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5274
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5275
    Path is not specified.
5276
 
5277
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5278
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5279
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5280
        --Dir=$Pinc
5281
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5282
 
5283
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5284
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5285
    Windows platform.
5286
 
5287
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5288
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5289
            by 'purecov.
5290
 
5291
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5292
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5293
 
5294
        - OPTIONS=purify
5295
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5296
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5297
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5298

5301
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
5302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5303
Major changes:
5304
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5305
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5306
    Example:
5307
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5308
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5309
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5310
 
5311
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5312
    been determined.
5313
 
5314
Minor changes:
5315
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5316
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5317
    located at build-time.
5318
 
5319
  * Unix based systems
5320
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5321
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5322
 
5323
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5324
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5325
    driver being built.
5326
 
5327
 
5328

5332
 
5333
 
5334
Minor changes:
5335
  * jats_rewrite tool
5336
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
5337
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
5338
 
5339
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5340
    Extract modified date when extracting package information

5343
    dependancy information within a package.
5344
 
5345
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5346
    messages.

    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5356
 
5357
    GenerateFiles.
5358
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5359
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5360
                      be run on every invocation.
5361
 
5362
 
5363
Minor changes:

5368
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5369
  There are two mechanism:
5370
 
5371
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5372
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5373
 
5374
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5375
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5376
 
5377
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5378
  default.

5385
Major changes:
5386
  * SunWorks Toolset
5387
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5388
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5389
    It is based on machine type.
5390
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5391
 
5392
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5393
 
5394
Minor changes:
5395

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5422
 
5423
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5424
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5425
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5426
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5427
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5428
 
5429
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5430
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5431
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5432
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5433
 
5434
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5435
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

5447
 
5448
 
5449
Minor changes:
5450
  * JATS wrapper script
5451
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5452
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5453
    to setup links to system programs.
5454

5476
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5477
        no_misalign         - Default
5478
 
5479
        multithread         - Default
5480
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
5481
 
5482
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5483
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
5484
 
5485

5494
 
5495
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5496
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5497
    Theses are:
5498
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5499
        SOLARIS_AMD
5500
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5501
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5502
 
5503
Minor changes:
5504
  * AT3232 toolset

Major changes:
5515
 
5516
Minor changes:
5517
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5518
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5519
    messages
5520
 
5521
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5522
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5523
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5524
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5525
 
5526

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5529
Major changes:
5530
 
5531
Minor changes:
5532
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5533
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5534
    library without creating the body of the library:
5535
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5536
 
5537
 
5538
  * MOS toolsets
5539
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5540
    library without creating the body of the library:
5541
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5542
 
5543
  * JATS BIN directories
5544
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5545
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5546
    using autoconf.
5547
 
5548
  * Generate directive
5549
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5550
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5551
 
5552
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5553

5556
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5558
Major changes:
5559
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5560
    Initial release.

5566
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5568
Major changes:
5569
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5570
    Initial release.
5571
 
5572
  * Packaging directives
5573
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5574
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5575
 
5576
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5577
        SOLARIS
5578
        WIN32
5579
 
5580
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5581
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5582
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5583
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5584
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5585
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5586
 
5587
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5588
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5589
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5590
 
5591
 
5592
Minor changes:
5593
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5594
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5595
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5596
 
5597
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5598
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5599
    location
5600
 
5601
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5602
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5603
 
5604
  * Utility genrc
5605
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5606
 
5607
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5608
    Added option: -new
5609
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5610
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5611
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5612
 
5613
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5614
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5615
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5616
 
5617
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5618
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5619
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5620
 
5621
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5622
   features - in a uniform manner.
5623
 
5624
 
5625
Internal Changes:
5626
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5627
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5628
 
5629
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5630
        1) Platform information available at build time
5631
        2) Dynamic platform names
5632
 
5633
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5634
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5635
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5636
 
5637
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5638
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5639
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5640
 
5641
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5642
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5643
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5644
    needed.
5645
 
5646
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5647
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5648
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5649
    files from all of these.
5650

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5661
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5662
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5663
Major changes:
5664
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5665
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5666
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5667
 
5668
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5669
 
5670
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5671
    the operations.
5672
 
5673
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5674
 
5675
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5676
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5677
 
5678
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5679
 
5680
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5681
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5682
 
5683
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5684
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5685
    Extended the built-in help
5686
    Added useful error messages
5687
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5688
 
5689
  * WinCE toolset
5690
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5691
 
5692
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5693
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5694
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5695
 
5696
Minor changes:
5697
  * JATS wrapper script
5698
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5699
    the command line.
5700
 
5701
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5702
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5703
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5704
 
5705
Internal Changes:
5706
  * Common Error Reporting
5707
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5708
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5709
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5710
    level.
5711
 
5712
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5713
    displayed.
5714
 
5715
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5716
 
5717
  * Added JatsSystem module
5718
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5719

5730
    Added AT7272 support
5731
 
5732

    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5754
    builds.
5755
 
5756
  * JATS Core
5757
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5758
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5759
    behaviour.
5760

Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5763
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5764
Major changes:
5765
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5766
    Deployment package will be affected.
5767
 
5768
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5769
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5770
 
5771
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5772
 
5773
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5774
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5775
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5776
    packages.
5777
 
5778
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5779
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5780
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5781
 
5782
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5783
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5784
 
5785
Minor changes:
5786
  * SubDir directive
5787
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5788
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5789
 
5790
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5791
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5792
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5793
    of the file usage.
5794
 
5795
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5796
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5797
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5798
 
5799
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5800
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5801
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5802
 
5803
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5804
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5805
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5806
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5807
 
5808
 
5809
Internal Changes:
5810
  * Code refactor
5811
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5812
 
5813
  * Deployment utilities
5814
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5815
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5816
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5817
    the module can locate the file.
5818
 
5819
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5820
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5821
 
5822
  * JATS core
5823
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5824
 
5825
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5826
 
5827
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5828
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5829
    through the use of environment variables.
5830
 
5831
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5832
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5833
 
5834
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5835
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5836
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5837
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5838
 
5839
  * Make environment
5840
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5841
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5842
 
5843
 
5844
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5845
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5847
Major changes:
5848
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5849
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5850
 
5851
 
5852
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5853
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5854
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5855
 
5856
Not Released.
5857
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5858
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5859
 
5860
 
5861
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5862
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5863
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5864
Major changes:
5865
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5866
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5867
    radically replaced.
5868
 
5869
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5870
    Usage:
5871
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5872
 
5873
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5874
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5875
    this solution:
5876
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5877
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5878
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5879
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5880
 
5881
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5882
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5883
    order to work.
5884
 
5885
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5886
    reduced functionality.
5887
 
5888
 
5889
Minor changes:
5890
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5891
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5892
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5893
 
5894
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5895
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5896
    within the makefiles.
5897
        Options:
5898
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5899
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5900
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5901
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5902
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5903
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5904
        Useage:
5905
 
5906
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5907
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5908
 
5909
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5910
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5911
    is not in the current directory.
5912
 
5913
  * Jats Command: ant'
5914
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5915
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5916
 
5917
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5918
 
5919
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5920
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5921
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5922
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5923
 
5924
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5925
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5926
    Thus
5927
 
5928
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5929
 
5930
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5931
 
5932
 
5933

5934
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5935
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5936
Major changes:
5937
 
5938
Minor changes:
5939
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5940
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5941
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5942
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5943
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5944
 
5945
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5946
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5947
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5948
 
5949
Internal changes:
5950
  * JATS toolsets
5951
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5952
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5953
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5954
 
5955
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5956
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5957
 
5958
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5959
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5960
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5961
Major changes:
5962
  * Jats command: etool
5963
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5964
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5965
 
5966
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5967
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5968
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5969
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5970
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5971
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5972
 
5973
Minor changes:
5974
 
5975
 
5976
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5977
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5978
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5979
Major changes:
5980
  * JATS environment variables
5981
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5982
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5983
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5984
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5985
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5986
 
5987
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5988
              Remote repository
5989
 
5990
    Added GBE_DPLY
5991
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5992
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5993
 
5994
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5995
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5996
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5997
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5998
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5999
 
6000
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
6001
    processed once and it will be processed last.
6002
 
6003
 
6004
Minor changes:
6005
  * JATS utility: build
6006
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
6007
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
6008
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
6009
 
6010
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
6011
    Ensure label is not locked
6012
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
6013
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
6014
 
6015
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
6016
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
6017
    to a specific type of build.
6018
 
6019
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
6020
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
6021
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
6022
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
6023
 
6024
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
6025
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
6026
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
6027
 
6028
  * JATS utility: release
6029
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
6030
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
6031
 
6032
  * JATS utility: label
6033
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
6034
    when it is being created.
6035
 
6036
Internal Changes
6037
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
6038
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
6039
 
6040
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
6041
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
6042
 
6043
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
6044
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
6045
    different results.
6046
 
6047
  * ToolsetRequire directive
6048
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
6049
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
6050
 
6051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6052
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
6053
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6054
Major changes:
6055
 
6056
  * MCR toolset
6057
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
6058
 
6059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6060
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
6061
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6062
Major changes:
6063
  * WIN32 utilities
6064
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
6065
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
6066
 
6067
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
6068
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
6069
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
6070
 
6071
Minor changes:
6072
  * BuildVersion
6073
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
6074
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
6075
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
6076
 
6077
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
6078
 
6079
  * Unix Builds
6080
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
6081
    library or a shared library.
6082
 
6083
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
6084
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
6085
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
6086
    start with 'lib'.
6087
 
6088
  * BuildPkgArchive
6089
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
6090
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
6091
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
6092
 
6093
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6094
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
6095
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6096
Major changes:
6097
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6098
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
6099
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
6100
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
6101
    being manually maintained.
6102
 
6103
 
6104
Minor changes:
6105
  * MakeAnt directive
6106
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
6107
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
6108
    supports ANT builds.
6109
 
6110
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6111
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
6112
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
6113
 
6114
  * Label utility
6115
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
6116
    files to be labeled.
6117
 
6118
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
6119
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
6120
    on Solaris.
6121
 
6122
  * Generated makefiles
6123
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
6124
    nothing.
6125
 
6126
  * MOS Toolset
6127
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
6128
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
6129
    modules.
6130
 
6131
  * Utility: gen_cots
6132
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
6133
    and then check it in under clearcase.
6134
 
6135
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
6136
 
6137
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
6138
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
6139
 
6140
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6141
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
6142
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6143
Major changes:
6144
  None
6145
 
6146
Minor changes:
6147
  * DEVI addressed
6148
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6149
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6150
 
6151
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6152
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6153
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6154
 
6155
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6156
 
6157
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6158
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6159
 
6160
  * RunTest directive
6161
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6162
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6163
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6164
 
6165
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6166
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6167
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6168
    packaged under JATS
6169
 
6170
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6171
          supported within JATS.
6172
 
6173
  * Jats utility wrapper
6174
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6175
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6176
 
6177
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6178
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6179
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6180
 
6181
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6182
    Eg: jats ant
6183
 
6184
  * Jats utility wrapper
6185
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6186
 
5710 dpurdie 6187
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6188
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6189
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6190
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6191
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6192
 
5710 dpurdie 6193
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6194
    expect a build.pl file.
6195
 
6196
  * Jats utility wrapper
6197
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6198
 
6199
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6200
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6201
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6202
 
6203
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6204
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6205
 
6206
  * Build files
6207
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6208
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6209

6211
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6213
Major changes:
6214
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6215
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6216
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6217
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6218
 
6219
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6220
 
6221
Minor changes:
6222
  * None
6223
 
6224
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6225
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6226
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6227
Major changes:
6228
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6229
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6230
    ie:
6231
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6232
 
6233
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6234
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6235
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6236
    environments are compatible.
6237
 
6238
 
6239
Minor changes:
6240
  * BuildName option
6241
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6242
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6243
 
6244
  * jats.bat
6245
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6246
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6247
 
6248
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6249
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6251
Major changes:
6252
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6253
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6254
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6255
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6256
 
6257
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6258
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6259
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6260
 
6261
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6262
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6263
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6264
 
6265
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6266
    transferred.
6267
 
6268
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6269
    See notes below.
6270
 
6271
  * WIN32 toolset
6272
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6273
    correctly.
6274
 
6275
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6276
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6277
 
6278
  * BuildVersion
6279
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6280
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6281
    other langauges as needed.
6282
 
6283
 
6284
Minor changes:
6285
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6286
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6287
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6288
    version strings.
6289
 
6290
  * GenerateFiles directive
6291
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6292
    package or an imported package.
6293
 
6294
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6295
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6296
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6297
 
6298
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6299
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6300
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6301
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6302
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6303
 
6304
Internal Changes
6305
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6306
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6307
    of utilities.
6308
 
6309
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6310
    functions.
6311
 
6312
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6313
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6315
Major changes:
6316
  * Generated makefiles
6317
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6318
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6319
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6320
 
6321
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6322
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6323
    incorrectly processing:
6324
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6325
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6326
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6327
    confused.
6328
 
6329
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6330
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6331
    The construct
6332
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6333
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6334
    then it works.
6335
 
6336
  * MakeAnt directive
6337
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6338
 
6339
    This option has the following effects
6340
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6341
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6342
 
6343
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6344
           early - in the generated files phase.
6345
 
6346
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6347
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6348
 
6349
 
6350
Minor changes:
6351
  * JATS post-installation script
6352
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6353
 
6354
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6355
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6356
    windows.
6357
 
6358
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6359
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6360
 
6361
  * Jats wrapper script
6362
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6363
        1) Contain spaces
6364
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6365
 
6366
  * Toolset
6367
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6368
 
6369
  * JAVA toolset
6370
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6371
    directive:
6372
 
6373
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6374
 
6375
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6376
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6377
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6378
 
6379
  * GCC Toolset
6380
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6381
 
6382
  * Makefile generation
6383
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6384
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6385
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6386
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6387
    package could not be used.
6388
 
6389
  * Unit Tests
6390
    The following environment variables are set:
6391
 
6392
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6393
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6394
 
6395
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6396
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6397
 
6398
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6399
 
6400
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6401
 
6402
 
6403
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6404
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6406
Major changes:
6407
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6408
 
6409
    Special features of this toolset.
6410
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6411
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6412
       incorporated within the target image.
6413
 
6414
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6415
       --Set=Name=Value
6416
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6417
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6418
 
6419
       --Ref=name
6420
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6421
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6422
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6423
                will be taken from the build version number.
6424
 
6425
Minor changes:
6426
  * MOS Toolset
6427
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6428
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6429
    packaged.
6430
 
6431
  * Src directive
6432
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6433
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6434
    specifier.
6435
 
6436
  * WIN32 runtime support
6437
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6438
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6439
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6440
 
6441
Internal:
6442
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6443
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6444
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6445
 
6446
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6447
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6448
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6449
Major changes:
6450
    * BuildAlias directive
6451
      Added options.
6452
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6453
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6454
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6455
                          targets.
6456
      Eg:
6457
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6458
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6459
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6460
 
6461
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6462
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6463
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6464
 
6465
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6466
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6467
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6468
 
6469
 
6470
Minor changes:
6471
  * Label utility
6472
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6473
    build.pl file
6474
 
6475
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6476
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6477
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6478
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6479
    --FilterIn option.
6480
 
6481
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6482
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6483
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6484
 
6485
  * Location of descpkg file
6486
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6487
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6488
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6489
 
6490
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6491
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6492
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6493
Major changes:
6494
  * RunTest directive
6495
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6496
    Additional options
6497
      --CopyIn=file
6498
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6499
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6500
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6501
        the test area.
6502
 
6503
    Additional operations
6504
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6505
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6506
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6507
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6508
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6509
    Allows flags:
6510
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6511
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6512
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6513
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6514
 
6515
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6516
    existence is tested.
6517
 
6518
  * Packaging Directives
6519
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6520
    such as LMOS.
6521
 
6522
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6523
 
6524
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6525
 
6526
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6527
 
6528
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6529
 
6530
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6531
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6532
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6533
 
6534
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6535
 
6536
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6537
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6538
 
6539
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6540
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6541
 
6542
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6543
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6544
 
6545
Minor changes:
6546
  * Script directive
6547
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6548
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6549
 
6550
  * JATS environment
6551
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6552
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6553
    the JATS wrapper script.
6554
 
6555
  * Label utility
6556
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6557
    There are three modes of operation:
6558
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6559
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6560
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6561
 
6562

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6564
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6565
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6566
Major changes:
6567
 
6568
Minor changes:
6569
  * label utility
6570
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6571
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6572
 
6573
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6574
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6575
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6576
      --ProgLoader=name
6577
 
6578
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6579
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6580
    Options to do this are:
6581
        --TreeDir=name
6582
        --FilterOut=regexp
6583
        --FilterIn=regexp
6584
        --StripDir
6585
 
6586
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6587
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6588
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6589
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6590
 
6591
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6592
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6593
 
6594
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6595
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6596
 
6597
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6598
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6599

6602
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6603
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6604
Major changes:
6605
    * Make commands
6606
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6607
 
6608
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6609
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6610
 
6611
    * Label utility
6612
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6613
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6614
 
6615
Minor changes:
6616
    * Toolsets
6617
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6618
      variables and overrides.
6619
 
6620
      The make_init target is always run.
6621
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6622
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6623
 
6624
    * Deployment
6625
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6626
      with deployment operations.
6627
 
6628
    * Release utility
6629
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6630
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6631
      restricted by options within the build.
6632
 
6633
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6634
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6635
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6636
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6637
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6638
 
6639
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6640
      directives.
6641
 
6642
    * MakeProject directive
6643
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6644
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6645
 
6646
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6647
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6648
      is preserved.
6649
 
6650
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6651
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6652
      statements.
6653
 
6654
    * Mugfile generation
6655
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6656
      be placed in the target package.
6657
 
6658
 
6659
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6660
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6662
Major changes:
6663
    * BuildVersion directive
6664
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6665
      number as well as a patch number.
6666
 
6667
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6668
      number.
6669
 
6670
Minor changes:
6671
    * AddFlags directives
6672
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6673
      duplicate flags being added.
6674
 
6675
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6676
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6677
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6678
 
6679
    * Mug File Generation
6680
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6681
 
6682
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6683
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6684
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6685
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6686
     directory.
6687
 
6688
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6689
     reproducible.
6690
 
6691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6692
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6694
Major changes:
6695
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6696
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6697
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6698
      longer a list of directories.
6699
 
6700
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6701
      done within the toolset.
6702
 
6703
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6704
 
6705
    * JATS environment variables
6706
      Redefined variable
6707
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6708
                          Previously was a list that included the
6709
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6710
 
6711
      New variable
6712
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6713
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6714
 
6715
 
6716
Minor changes:
6717
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6718
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6719
      target platforms to be extracted.
6720
 
6721
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6722
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6723
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6724
 
6725
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6726
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6727
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6728
 
6729
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6730
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6731
 
6732
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6733
      Support ANT based XML files
6734
 
6735
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6736
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6737
      structure.
6738
 
6739
    * makefile.pl's
6740
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6741
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6742
 
6743
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6744
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6745
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6746
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6747
 
6748
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6749
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6750
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6751
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6752
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6753
      -- Auto.
6754
 
6755
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6756
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6757
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6758
 
6759
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6760
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6761
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6762
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6763
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6764
 
6765
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6766
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6767
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6768
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6769
      installed on the machine.
6770
 
6771
    * WINCE Targets
6772
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6773
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6774
 
6775
 
6776
 
6777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6778
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6780
Major changes:
6781
    * WIN32 platforms
6782
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6783
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6784
      and installed packages.
6785
 
6786
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6787
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6788
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6789
 
6790
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6791
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6792
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6793
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6794
      searched when looking for libraries.
6795
 
6796
Minor changes:
6797
    * GenerateFiles directive
6798
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6799
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6800
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6801
                          and drive letter
6802
 
6803
    * Src directive
6804
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6805
      directory of a package.
6806
 
6807
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6808
 
6809
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6810
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6811
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6812
 
6813
    * jats_rewrite utility
6814
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6815
 
6816
 
6817
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6818
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6820
Major changes:
6821
    * SunWorks production builds
6822
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6823
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6824
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6825
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6826
      compiler documentation.
6827
 
6828
    * MOS Toolset
6829
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6830
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6831
 
6832
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6833
 
6834
Minor changes:
6835
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6836
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6837
      This should not affect current users.
6838
 
6839
    * Mugfile generation
6840
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6841
      specified.
6842
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6843

6846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6847
Major changes:
6848
    MOS Toolset
6849
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6850
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6851
 
6852
Minor changes:
6853
    * Jats wrapper script
6854
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6855
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6856
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6857
 
6858
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6859
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6860
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6861
      may be suspect.
6862
 
6863
    * GenerateFiles directive
6864
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6865
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6866
 
6867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6868
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6869
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6870
Major changes:
6871
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6872
      build.xml files.
6873
 
6874
Minor changes:
6875
    * WIN32 toolset.
6876
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6877
 
6878
    * MakeAnt
6879
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6880
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6881
 
6882
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6883
 
6884
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6885
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6886
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6887
 
6888
    * MakeAnt directive
6889
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6890
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6891
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6892
 
6893
      Recommended usage:
6894
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6895
 
6896
Internal Changes
6897
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6898

6901
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6902
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6903
Major changes:
6904
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6905
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6906
      files packaged into the release.
6907
 
6908
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6912
 
6913
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6914
      The recommended platform is:
6915
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6916
 
6917
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6918
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6919
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6920
      components.
6921
 
6922
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

6926
 
6927
Minor changes:
6928
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6929
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6930
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6931
      by the package to be accessed.
6932
 
6933
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6934
      application or visual studio.
6935
 
6936
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6937
      and the JATS Core path.
6938
 
6939
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6940
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6941
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6942
 
6943
    * MOS Toolset
6944
      Add support for the TPT device
6945
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6946
 
6947
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6948
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6949
 
6950
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6951
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6952
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6953
 
6954
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6955
 
6956
Internal Changes
6957
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6958
      in jats.pl
6959

Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6962
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6963
Major changes:
6964
    * JATS wrapper script
6965
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6966
 
6967
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6968
 
6969
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6970
 
6971
Minor changes:
6972
    * Deployment support
6973
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6974
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6975
 
6976
    * 'build'
6977
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6978
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6979
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6980
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6981
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6982
 
6983
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6984
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6985
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6986
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6987
                                      the link phase.
6988
 
6989
    * BuildPkgArchive
6990
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6991
      Previously these were ignored.
6992
      Minor code cleanup
6993
 
6994
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6995
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6996
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6997
 
6998
    * SOLARIS targets
6999
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
7000
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
7001
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
7002
 
7003
    * MugFile generation
7004
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
7005
      included in the final package.
7006
 
7007
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
7008
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
7009
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
7010
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
7011
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
7012
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
7013
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
7014
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
7015
 
7016
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
7017
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
7018
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
7019
            --Option=(some_text)
7020
            --Option=[some_text]
7021
            --Option={some_text}
7022
 
7023
Internal Changes
7024
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
7025
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
7026
      code.
7027
 
7028

7029
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
7030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7031
Major changes:
7032
    * JATS wrapper script
7033
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
7034
 
7035
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
7036
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
7037
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
7038
      other components.
7039
 
7040
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
7041
 
7042
    * JATS
7043
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
7044
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
7045
 
7046
    * Build operations
7047
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
7048
      if required packages are built against different versions of
7049
      packages.
7050
 
7051
    * Make operations
7052
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
7053
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
7054
 
7055
Minor changes:
7056
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
7057
      deployment builds.
7058
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
7059
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
7060
 
7061
      Extended the "jats vars" display
7062
 
7063
    * build.pl
7064
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
7065
        processed. Allows
7066
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
7067
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
7068
        production.
7069
 
7070
    * MOS toolset
7071
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
7072
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
7073
 
7074
    * create_dpkg utility
7075
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
7076
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
7077
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
7078
      progress of the build.
7079
 
7080
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
7081
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
7082
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
7083
      system.
7084
 
7085
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7086
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
7087
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7088
Major changes:
7089
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7090
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
7091
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
7092
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
7093
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
7094
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
7095
 
7096
    * WCEX86A500 target
7097
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
7098
 
7099
    * MOS Toolsets
7100
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
7101
      the compiler.
7102
 
7103
    * RunTest directive
7104
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
7105
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7106
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7107
 
7108
Minor changes:
7109
    * JATS BUILD
7110
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7111
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7112
      highlight bad settings.
7113
 
7114
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7115
      access to extensions.
7116
 
7117
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7118
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7119
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7120
Major changes:
7121
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7122
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7123
 
7124
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7125
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7126
      under unix.
7127
 
7128
Minor changes:
7129
    * label utility
7130
      Added options to:
7131
        o Delete a label
7132
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7133
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7134
 
7135
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7136
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7137
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7138
      Package directives.
7139
 
7140
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7141
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7142
      system.
7143
 
7144
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7145
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7146
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7147
Major changes:
7148
    * MOS Toolset
7149
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7150
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7151
 
7152
    * WIN32 Toolset
7153
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7154
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7155
      list.
7156
 
7157
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7158
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7159
 
7160
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7161
 
7162
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7163
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7164
 
7165
 
7166
Minor changes:
7167
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7168
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7169
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7170
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7171
      corrected.
7172
 
7173
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7174
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7175
 
7176
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7177
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7178
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7179
 
7180
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7181
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7182
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7183
Major changes:
7184
    * WIN32 Toolset
7185
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7186
      use with multithreaded modes.
7187
 
7188
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7189
      --OnlyProd.
7190
 
7191
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7192
      within the makefile.pl.
7193
 
7194
Minor changes:
7195
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7196
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7197
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7198
      platforms.
7199
 
7200
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7201
 
7202
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7203
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7204
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7205
Major changes:
7206
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7207
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7208
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7209
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7210
 
7211
    * Preliminary Support
7212
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7213
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7214
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7215
 
7216
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7217
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7218
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7219
 
7220
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7221
      building. The default build will build both.
7222
 
7223
Minor changes:
7224
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7225
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7226
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7227
 
7228
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7229
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7230
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7231
 
7232
 
7233
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7234
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7235
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7236
Major changes:
7237
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7238
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7239
      or all.
7240
 
7241
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7242
      the library or program.
7243
 
7244
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7245
 
7246
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7247
      library or any debug files.
7248
 
7249
    * GenerateFiles
7250
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7251
 
7252
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7253
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7254
 
7255
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7256
              The filename of the prereq file
7257
 
7258
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7259
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7260
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7261
 
7262
 
7263
Minor changes:
7264
    * create_dpkg utility
7265
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7266
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7267
      the package has been altered.
7268
 
7269
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7270
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7272
Major changes:
7273
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7274
      This is a WINCE target
7275
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7276
 
7277
    * New toolset
7278
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7279
 
7280
    * Modified toolset
7281
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7282
 
7283
    * Modified toolset
7284
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7285
 
7286
Minor changes:
7287
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7288
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7289
 
7290
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7291
 
7292
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7293
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7294
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7295
 
7296
      The change allows the construct
7297
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7298
      to be replaced by the simpler
7299
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7300
 
7301
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7302
      specified name.    
7303

7322
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7323
Major changes:
7324
    * The "package.pl" file.
7325
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7326
      package name being taken from the build name
7327
 
7328
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7329
      package Build Name.
7330
 
7331
Minor changes:
7332
    * create_dpkg utility
7333
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7334
 
7335

7340
Minor changes:
7341
    * Dependancy generator
7342
      Correct two common situations
7343
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7344
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7345
           ansi, but is often done.
7346
 
7347
    * GCC toolset
7348
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7349
      being created in the correct place.
7350
 
7351
    * jats "label"
7352
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7353
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7354
 
7355
 
7356
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7357
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7358
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7359
Major changes:
7360
 
7361
Minor changes:
7362
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7363
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7364
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7365
 
7366
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7367
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7368
 
7369
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7370
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7371
      package was not being transferred.
7372
 
7373

7374
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7375
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7376
Major changes:
7377
    * Support for solaris_i386
7378
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7379
      binaries for this target.
7380
 
7381
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7382
      with the GCC compiler.
7383
 
7384
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7385
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7386
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7387
 
7388
Minor changes:
7389
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7390
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7391
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7392
 
7393
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7394
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7395
 
7396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7397
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7398
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7399
Major changes:
7400
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7401
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7402
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7403
 
7404
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7405
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7406
 
7407
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7408
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7409
      with either " or ' characters.
7410
 
7411
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7412
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7413
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7414
 
7415
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7416
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7417
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7418
 
7419
    * Jats wrapper
7420
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7421
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7422
      further commands.
7423
 
7424
Minor changes:
7425
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7426
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7427
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7428
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7429
 
7430
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7431
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7433
Major changes:
7434
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7435
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7436
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7437
 
7438
      These options operation affect all components within the
7439
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7440
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7441
 
7442
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7443
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7444
 
7445
Minor changes:
7446
 
7447
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7448
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7449
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7450
Major changes:
7451
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7452
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7453
 
7454
Minor changes:
7455
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7456
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7457
 
7458
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7459
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7460
 
7461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7462
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7463
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7464
Major changes:
7465
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7466
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7467
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7468
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7469
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7470
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7471
      installed.
7472
 
7473
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7474
      libraries that depend on each other.
7475
 
7476
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7477
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7478
 
7479
Minor changes:
7480
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7481
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7482
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7483
 
7484
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7485
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7486
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7487
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7488
 
7489
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7490
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7491
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7492
Major changes:
7493
 
7494
Minor changes:
7495
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7496
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7497
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7498
      file.
7499
 
7500
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7501
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7502
 
7503
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7504
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7505
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7506
 
7507
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7508
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7509
 
7510
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7511
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7512
 
7513
    * WinCE toolsets
7514
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7515
      compiler specific libraries.
7516
 
7517
    * SOLARIS toolset
7518
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7519
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7520
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7521
 
7522
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7523
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7524
      cleaned up.
7525
 
7526
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7527
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7528
 
7529
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7530
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7531
      with either " or ' characters.
7532
 
7533
 
7534
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7535
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7536
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7537
Major changes:
7538
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7539
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7540
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7541
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7542
 
7543
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7544
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7545
 
7546
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7547
      user.
7548
 
7549
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7550
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7551
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7552
 
7553
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7554
      for the   -Gf option.
7555
 
7556
Minor changes:
7557
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7558
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7559
 
7560
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7561
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7562
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7563
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7564
 
7565
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7566
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7568
Major changes:
7569
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7570
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7571
 
7572
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7573
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7574
      data addresses for the board.
7575
 
7576
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7577
 
7578
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7579
 
7580
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7581
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7582
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7583
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7584
         PackageFile
7585
 
7586
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7587
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7588
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7589
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7590
 
7591
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7592
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7593
      to be installed and packaged.
7594
 
7595
Minor changes:
7596
 
7597
    * cache_dpkg utility
7598
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7599
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7600
 
7601
    * label utility
7602
      New option -auto to create and label
7603
 
7604
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7605
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7606
 
7607
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7608
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7609
      directory. ie:
7610
 
7611
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7612
 
7613
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7614
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7615
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7616
 
7617
 
7618
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7619
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7620
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7621
Major changes:
7622
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7623
 
7624
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7625
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7626
 
7627
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7628
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7629
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7630
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7631
 
7632
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7633
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7634
      compilation.
7635
 
7636
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7637
 
7638
Minor changes:
7639
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7640
      one is being produced.
7641
 
7642
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7643
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7644
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7645
 
7646
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7647
 
7648
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7649
 
7650
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7651
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7652
 
7653
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7654
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7655
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7656
Major changes:
7657
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7658
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7659
 
7660
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7661
 
7662
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7663
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7664
      same directory
7665
 
7666
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7667
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7668
      documenattion.
7669
 
7670
Minor changes:
7671
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7672
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7673
 
7674
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7675
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7676
 
7677
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7678
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7679
 
7680
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7681
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7682
 
7683
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7684
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7685
      be exempt from this test.
7686
 
7687
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7688
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7689
 
7690
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7691
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7692
 
7693
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7694
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7695
      does.
7696
 
7697
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7698
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7699
 
7700
 
7701
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7702
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7703
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7704
Major changes:
7705
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7706
 
7707
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7708
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7709
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7710
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7711
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7712
 
7713
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7714
      operations.
7715
 
7716
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7717
 
7718
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7719
 
7720
Minor changes
7721
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7722
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7723
 
7724
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7725
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7726
      directory is not added to the library path.
7727
 
7728
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7729
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7730
 
7731
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7732
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7733
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7734
 
7735
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7736
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7737
      specific flags.
7738
 
7739
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7740
 
7741
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7742
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7743
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7744
 
7745
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7746
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7747
      JATS.
7748
 
7749
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7750
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7751
 
7752
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7753
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7754
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7755
 
7756
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7757
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7758
 
7759
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7760
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7761
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7762
 
7763
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7764
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7765
