Version:  3.13.5000.cr                              Released: 13-Apr-17
30
------------------------------------------------------------------------
31
 
32
Minor changes:
33
    * Makefiles: Enhanced platform specifier
34
      Allows mixed use of included and excluded platform names.
35
        ie: Src ('DEVLINUX,!UBUNUT12', .... )

------------------------------------------------------------------------
41
Version:  3.13.4000.cr                              Released: 31-Mar-17 
42
------------------------------------------------------------------------
43
 
44
Minor changes:
45
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
46
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
47
 
48
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
49
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
50
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
51
      build errors.
52
 
53
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
54
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
55
 
56
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
57
      Shorthand for
58
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
59
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
60
 
61
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
62
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
63
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
64
      Examples: 
65
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
66
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
67
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
68
 
69
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
70
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
71
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
72
 
73
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
74
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
75
      build system.
76
 
77
Experimental:
78
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
79
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
80
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.
81
        This will change 
82
 
83
------------------------------------------------------------------------
84
Version:  3.13.3000.cr                              Released: 13-Mar-17
85
------------------------------------------------------------------------
86
 
87
Minor changes:
88
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
89
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
90
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
91
 
92
------------------------------------------------------------------------
93
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
94
------------------------------------------------------------------------
95
 
96
Minor changes:
97
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
98
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
99
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
100
 
101
    * Build Files
102
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
103
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
104
 
105
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
106
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
107
 
108
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
109
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
110
 
111
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
112
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
113
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
114
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
115
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
116
 
117
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
118
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
119
     different architectures.
120
 
121
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
122
     are directed to one or more machines.
123
 
124
     Intended uses:
125
        Windows: Creating installers. 
126
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
127
 
128
       All: Specialized packaging.
129
 
130
    * Makefiles
131
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
132
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
133
      Eg:
134
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
135
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
136
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
137
      It could also have been written as:
138
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
139
      but NOT as:
140
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
141
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
142
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
143
 
144
    * Utility: sandbox
145
      Subcommand info 
146
        - Added option to test fingerprints
147
        - Display status in a column for easy reading
148
 
149
------------------------------------------------------------------------
150
Version:  3.13.0000.cr                              Released: 20-Feb-17
151
------------------------------------------------------------------------
152
 
153
Minor changes:
154
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
155
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
156
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
157
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
158
 
159
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
160
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
161
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
162
 
163
    * GenerateFiles directive
164
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
165
 
166
    * Utility: sandbox
167
      Added a 'fingerprint' command to manipulate packages fingerprints.
168
 
169
      Sped up the location of build files. The results are cached and 
170
      recalulated if the user adds or removes packages from the sandbox.
171
 
172
Internal changes:
173
    * Centralizing build platform information.

183
 
184
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
185
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
186
 
187
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
188
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
189
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
190
      machine may build the toolset.
191
 
192
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
193
      platform.
194
 
195

211
      It is not used.
212
 
213
      Tweaks to the calculation of the TOOLSET alias to allow it to work when
214
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
215
 
216
    * Utility: escrow
217
      Added -skim option
218
 
219
    * Utility: sandbox
220
      Many improvements:
221
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
222
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
223
 
224
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
225
 
226
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
227
        if an error is detected.
228
 
229
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
230
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
231
 
232
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
233
        skipped during the build.
234
 
235
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.
236

------------------------------------------------------------------------
240
 
241
Minor changes:
242
    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
243
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
244
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
245
 
246
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
247
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

335
 
336
Minor changes:
337
    * Makefile Package and Install directives
338
      Addressed [JATS-405] - PackageFile does not handle files with a colon 
339
                             in the name
340
      Prevent colon escaping on Windows machines as it doesn't work and

359
                             in the name
360
      Centralized handling of filename escaping.
361
 
362
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
363
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
364
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.
365
 
366
    * Make operations uninstall, unpackage and clobber
367
      Improved the deletion of files such that only files that exist will

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1123
Minor changes:
1124
    * New build Alias - NATIVE
1125
      NATIVE is a set of platforms, in the current build, which build 
1126
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1127
 
1128
      The NATIVE alias has been created to simplify the support
1129
      for automated unit tests.
1130
 
4761 dpurdie 1131
    * New build platform - UBUNTU12_INSTRUMENT
4728 dpurdie 1132
      This build target is similar to UBUNTU12, except that it 
1133
      generates instrumented code with gcov. The platform's unit tests 
1134
      will create and maintain a set of lcov files.
1135
 
4805 dpurdie 1136

1147
      Will add its own 'built' files to the package metadata file.
1148
 
1149
    * VS2012 Toolset

      [JATS-308] Running jats from VS2012 Developer command prompt
1151
 
4688 dpurdie 1152
    * EnvVars
1153
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
1154
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
1155
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
1156
 
1157
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1158
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
1159
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
1160
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
1161
 
1162
    * Jats caching
1163
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
1164
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed
1165
      up jats startup.

1188
Minor changes:
1189
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
1190
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1191
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1192
 
1193
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1194
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1195
 
1196
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
1197
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
1198
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
1199
 
1200
    * Jats Internal: Database access
1201

4036 dpurdie 1465
      Improved the process that creates symbolic links between a Shared
4034 dpurdie 1466
      Libraries 'RealName' and its 'soname' and 'link name'
1467
 
1468
      Added support for a compiler to be provided through a package.
1469
      Specifically implemented to allow Android

1487
Minor changes:
1488
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1489
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1490
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1491
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1492
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1493
 
1494
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1495
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

    * Utility: update_release
1504
      Added options:
1505
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1506
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1507
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1508
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1509
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1510
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1511
 
1512
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1513
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
1514
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
1515
 
1516
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
1517
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

1521
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1522
Major changes:
1523
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1524
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1525
      intended to build deployed software.
1526
 
1527
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1528
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1529
 
1530
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1531
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1532
 
1533
Minor changes:
1534
    * Jats wrapper script
1535
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1536
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1537
      Subversion instance of the command.
1538
 
1539
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1540
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1541
 
1542
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1543
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1544
 
1545
    * Utility: jats upddep
1546
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1547
      file under windows.
1548
 
1549
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1550
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1551
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1552
 
1553
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1554
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1555
 
1556
    * GCC Toolchain
1557
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

Major changes:
1574
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1575
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1576
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1577
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1578
 
1579
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1580
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1590
Minor changes:
1591
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1592
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1593
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1594
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1595
      line.
1596
 
1597
    * Jats Configuration
1598
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1599
 
1600
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1601
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1602
      and Linux.
1603
 
1604
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1605

Minor changes:
1613
    * Jats Core
1614
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1615
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1616
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1617
 
1618
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1619
      Used only by the build daemons.
1620
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1621
 
1622
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1623
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports

1629
Major changes:
1630
 
1631
Minor changes:
1632
    * svnrelease utility
1633
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1634
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1635
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1636
 
1637
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1638
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1639
      the named tag.
1640
 
1641
    * svnrelease utility
1642
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1643
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1654
        covered by the makefile.
1655
 
1656
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1657
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1658
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1659
 
1660
    * ALL Toolsets
1661
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1662
 
1663
    * Utility vcsdiff
1664
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1665
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1666
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1676
      directory of the tag.
1677
 
1678
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
1679
      repository.
1680
 
1681
    * Subversion Support
1682
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1683
      showing the user what to do.
1684
 
1685
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1686
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1687
      we have build support for this target.
1688
 
1689
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1690
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1691
 
1692
Internal:
1693
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1694
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
1695
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
1696
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

1714
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1715
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1716
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1717
      of warnings.
1718
 
1719
    * Makefile Generation
1720
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1729
Major changes:
1730
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1731
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1732
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1733
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1734
 
1735
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1736
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1737
      windows path scheme.
1738
 
1739
Minor changes:
1740
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1741
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1742
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1743
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1744
 
1745
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1746
        jats make clobber
1747
      This operates as before.
1748
 
1749
    * Utility: escrow
1750
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1751
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1752
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1753
 
1754
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1755
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1756
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1757
 
1758
    * Utility: svn : url
1759
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1760
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1761
 
1762
    * Utility: svn : import
1763
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1764
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1765
 
1766
    * Subversion Support
1767
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1768
      showing the user what to do.
1769
 
1770
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1771
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1772
      repositories.

1777
 
1778
Minor changes:
1779
    * Jats build
1780
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1781
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1782
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1783
 
1784
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1785
      command, with a sandbox.

      Added two subcommands
1796
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
1797
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1798
                 Can also display available branches.
1799
 
2054 dpurdie 1800
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

1806
 
1807
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1808
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1809
      Modified two options:
1810
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1811
                        The named branch must not exist
1812
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1813
                        The named branch must exist
1814
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1903
 
1904
    * Utility: svnrelease
1905
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1906
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1907
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1908
 
1909
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1910
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1911
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1912
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1913
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1914
 
1915
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1916
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1917

1920
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1921
 
1922
      Subcommand: populate
1923
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1924
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1925
      sandbox.
1926
 
1927
    * Subversion Support
1928
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1929
      repository is not supported.
1930
 
1931
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1932
      a progress indication.
1933
 
1934
    * Jats Online Documentation
1935
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1936
      online documentation.

1938
    * Generated makefiles
1939
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2019
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2020
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2021
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2022
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.

2040
    * Utility ccrelease
2041
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2042
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.

2044
    * Utility: svn
2045

Major changes:
2075
 
2076
Minor changes:
2077
    * Command: jats clobber
2078
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2079
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2080
 
2081
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2082
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2083
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2084
 
2085
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2086
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2087
 
377 dpurdie 2088
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2089
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2090
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2091
 
2092
    * jats svnlabel
2093
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2094
 
2095
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2096
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2097
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2098
 
2099
    * Built Daemon support
2100
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2101
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2102

373 dpurdie 2104
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2105
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2106
Major changes:
2107
    * GCC Toolset
2108
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2109
      New methodology is:
2110
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2111
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2112
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2113
        as the main binary.
2114
 
2115
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2116
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2117
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2118
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2119
      both worlds.
2120
 
2121
Minor changes:
2122
    * HTML Documentation
2123
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2124

2133
Major changes:
2134
    * Jats Sandbox
2135
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2136
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2137
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2138
 
2139
    * RIORDS Platform
2140

2164
 
2165
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2166
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2167
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within

      a vob.
2169

2234
      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
2235
      the clearcase label.
2236
 
2237

2244
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2245
Major changes:
2246
    * New toolset: ARM251
2247
 
2248
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
2249
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
2250
 
2251
Minor changes:
2252
    * HTML Help
2253
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
2254
 
2255
    * jats build -noforce
2256
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
2257
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
2258
      be forced.
2259
 
2260
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
2261
 
2262
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2263
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
2264
 
2265
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
2266
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
2267
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
2268
 
2269
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
2270
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
2271
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
2272
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
2273
 
2274
    * Utility: svnrelease
2275
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
2276
      provide a cleaner workspace name.

2279
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
2280
 
2281
    * Utility: svn
2282
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
2283
      installed and can be used.
2284
 
2285
    * Toolset: CSharp
2286
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
2287
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
2288
      character.
2289
 
2290
    * Toolset: SunWorks
2291
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
2292
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
2293
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
2294
      masking an error.
2295
 
2296
    * Toolset: Delphi7
2297
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
2298
      enhancement.
2299
 
2300
    * Toolset: dafbr
2301
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
2302
 
2303
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
2304
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
2305
        - Return correct path to package
2306
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
2307
 
2308
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
2309
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
2310
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
2311
 
2312
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
2313
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
2314
      packages.
2315
 
2316
    * make command: show
2317
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
2318
      'jats make show' command.
2319
 
2320
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2321
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
2322
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
2323
 
2324
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
2325
      executed on Unix machines.

    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
2363
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.

2639
 
2640
Minor changes:
2641
    * Jats sandbox command
2642

2663
 
2664
Minor changes:
2665
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
2666
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
2667
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
2668
      resulting in multiple builds.
2669
 
2670
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
2671
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
2672
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
2673
 
2674
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
2675
 
2676
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2677
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
2678
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

331 dpurdie 2681
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
2682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2683
Major changes:
2684
 
2685
Minor changes:
2686
    * Jats label command
2687
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2688
      Not recommended for general use.
2689
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2690
      directories within the current view.
2691
 
2692
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2693
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2694
      elsewhere.
2695
 
2696
    * Jats save_build
2697
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2698
      the determination of a branch.
2699
 
2700
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2701
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2702
 
2703
    * Jats build
2704
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2705
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2706
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2707
 
2708
    * Borland6 toolset
2709
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2710
      to match the documented install location of:
2711
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2712
 
2713
    * Jats build
2714
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2715
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2716
      This is a very quick operation.
2717
 
2718
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2719
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2720
 
2721
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2722
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2723
      files are only recreated if need be.
2724
 
2725
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2726
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2727
      make the package.
2728
 
2729
    * Jats sandbox
2730
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2731
 
2732
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2733
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2734
 
2735
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2736
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2737
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2738
      is performed.
2739
 
2740
Internal:
2741
    * build.pl
2742
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

2775
 
2776
Minor changes:
2777
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2778
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2779
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2780
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2781
 
2782
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2783
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2784
 
2785
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2786
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2787
      platform builds.
2788
 
2789
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2790
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2791
      directory tree.
2792
 
2793
    * New command: jats man
2794
      Produces full help on a specified item.
2795
 
2796
Internal changes:
2797
    * jats upddep
2798
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
2799
 
2800
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
2801
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined
2802
      Not yet in use.

323 dpurdie 2805
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
2806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2807
Major changes:
2808
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2809
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2810
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2811
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2812
 
2813
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2814
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2815
 
2816
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2817
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2818
 
2819
      Examples:
2820
            jats upddep -show
2821
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2822
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2823
 
2824
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2825
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2826
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2827
 
2828
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2829
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2830
 
2831
Minor changes:
2832
 
2833
Internal changes:
2834
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
2835
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
2839
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2840
Major changes:
2841
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2842
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2843
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2844
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2845
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2846
      stream.
2847
 
2848
      Example:
2849
 
2850
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2851
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2852
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2853
                     );
2854
Minor changes:
2855
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2856
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2857
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2858
      directive.
2859
 
2860
    * GCC Toolkit
2861
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2862
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2863
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2864
      the point of termination.
2865
 
2866
    * Jats save_build utility
2867
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2868
      under windows.
2869
 
2870
    * Jats sandbox
2871
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2872
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2873
      in different sandboxes.
2874
 
2875
    * Jats release
2876
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
2877
 
2878

    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2885
      Added -locatedir=name
2886
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2887
      directory.
2888
 
2889
    * jats label utility
2890
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2891
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2892
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2893
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2894
 
2895
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2896

317 dpurdie 2901
 
2902
Minor changes:
2903
    * WinCe Toolsets
2904
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2905
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2906
        noExceptions            - Disable
2907
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2908
      Example:
2909
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2910
 
2911
    * Solaris targets
2912
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2913
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2914
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2915
      machine type.
2916
 
2917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2918
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
2919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2920
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2921
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2922
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2923
      project files.
2924
 
2925
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2926
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2927
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2928
 
2929
Minor changes:
2930
    * Added more internal documentation
2931
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2932
 
2933
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2934
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2935
 
2936
    * Jats save_build utility
2937
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2938
      under windows.
2939
 
2940
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2941
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2942
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2943
      libraries.
2944
 
2945
    * Solaris builds
2946
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2947
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2948
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2949
      of the build failure.
2950
 
2951
 
2952
Internal changes:
2953
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2954
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2955
 
2956
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2957
      PkgArchive topics.

2964
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2965
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2966
      existing 32-bit builds.
2967
 
2968
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

2974
 
2975
    * Package searching
2976
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2977
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2978
 
2979
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2980
 
2981
    * jats help
2982
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2983
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2984
 
2985
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2986
      with one of:
2987
        jats -h
2988
        jats help jats
2989
 
2990
Internal:
2991
    * cmdfile utility
2992
      Added macros:
2993
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2994
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar

Major changes:
3010
 
3011
Minor changes:
3012
 
3013
Internal changes
3014
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3015
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3016
      Useful side effects include:
3017
 
3018
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3019
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3020
 
3021
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3022
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3023
 
3024
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3025
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3026
        BuildPkgArchive
3027
 
313 dpurdie 3028
    * Perl Modules
3029
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3030
      release. This will:
3031
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3032
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3033
          reported by ERG.
3034
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Major changes:
3040
 
3041
Minor changes:
3042
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3043
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3044
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3045
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3046
 
3047
    * Jats label utility
3048
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3049
 
3050
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3051
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3052
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3053
 
3054
    * Jats core
3055
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3056
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3057
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3066
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3067
      This is now fixed.
3068
 
309 dpurdie 3069
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3070
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3071
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3072
 
3073
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3074

    * Generating makefiles
3083
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3084
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3085
      an error.
3086
 
3087
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3088
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3089
 
3090
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3091

3097
Major changes:
3098
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3099
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3100
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3101
 
3102
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3103
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3104
 
3105
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3106
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3107
      Support includes
3108
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3109
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3110
 
3111
Minor changes:
3112
    * Build file processing
3113
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3114
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3115
 
3116
    * MOS builds
3117
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3118
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3119
 
3120
    * MOS builds
3121
      New 'known' product: PICP
3122
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3123
 
3124
    * GenerateFiles directive
3125
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3126
        under windows.
3127
 
3128
        .
3129
 
3130
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3131
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3132
 
3133
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3134
      to the output stream.
3135
 
3136
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3137
 
3138
    * Windows Shell
3139
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3140
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3141
 
3142
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3143
 
3144
    * H8S toolset
3145
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3146
 
3147
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3148
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3149
 
3150
Internal changes
3151
    * WinCe builds
3152
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3153
      content of the file.
3154
 
3155
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3156
 
3157
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3158
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3170
Major changes:
3171
 
3172
Minor changes:
3173
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3174
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3175
      Changes are transparent to users.
3176
 
3177
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3178
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3179
      this occurs.
3180
 
3181
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3182
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3183
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3184
      automated build framework.
3185
 
3186
    * jats sandbox command
3187
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3188
      'create' command.
3189
 
3190
    * jats command aliases. Added
3191
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3192
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

3197
Major changes:
3198
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3199
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3200
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3201
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3202
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3203
      will work as expected
3204
 
3205
Minor changes:
3206
    * VS2008 Toolset
3207
      Picking up incorrect config details
3208
      May result in a warning message.
3209
 
3210
    * gen_cots utility
3211
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3212
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3213
 
3214
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3215
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3263
Major changes:
3264
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
3265
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
3266
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
3267
 
3268
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
3269
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
3270
 
3271
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
3272
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
3273
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
3274
           names cannot be changed.
3275
 
3276
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
3277
           artifacts is very simplistic.
3278
 
3279
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
3280
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
3281
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
3282
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
3283
 
3284
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
3285
      file.
3286
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
3287
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
3288
      MyPackage.dpk.
3289
 
3290
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
3291
      file.
3292
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
3293
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
3294
      MyDll.dpr.
3295
 
3296
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
3297
      file.
3298
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
3299
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
3300
      MyProg.dpr.
3301
 
3302
Minor changes:
3303
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
3304
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
3305
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
3306
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
3307
 
3308
    * BuildVersion directive
3309
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
3310
      in a Delphi Unit.
3311
 
3312
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
3313
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
3314
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
3315
      'know' the location of the files.
3316
 
3317
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
3318
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
3319
 
3320
Internal Changes:
3321
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
3322
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
3323
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
3324
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
3325
 
3326
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
3327
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
3328
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

3332
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3333
Major changes:
3334
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
3335
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
3336
      information for purely C++ builds.
3337
 
289 dpurdie 3338
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
3339
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 3340
 
289 dpurdie 3341
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
3342

3343
            Manager
287 dpurdie 3344
 
3345
Minor changes:
3346
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
3347
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
3348
 
3349
    * updatenodespec utility
3350
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
3351

Major changes:
3386
 
3387
Minor changes:
3388
    * New command: jats make show
3389
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
3390
      used in the build.
3391
 
3392
    * Escrow command
3393
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
3394
 
3395
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
3396
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3397
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3398
 
3399
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3400
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

3405
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3406
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3407
 
279 dpurdie 3408
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3409
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3410
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3411
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3412
 
3413
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3414
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3415
 
3416
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3417
 
3418
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3419
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3420
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3421
 
3422
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3423
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3424
        processed.
3425
 
3426
      Removed the '-delete' option
3427
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3428
 
277 dpurdie 3429
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3430
    * Sandbox command
3431
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3432
 
3433
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3434
      target from consideration in the build set.
3435
 
3436
    * MCR Toolset
3437
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3438
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3439
 
3440
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3441
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3442
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3443
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3444
 
3445
    * Jats run_test command
3446
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3447
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3448
 
3449
    * descpkg file
3450
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3451
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3452
 
3453
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3454
     Now contains build trace information
3455
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3456
 
3457
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3458
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3459
     it contains 'jar' files.
3460
 
3461
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3462
 
3463
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3464
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3465
 
3466
   * BuildVersion directive
3467
     Form:
3468
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3469
     now works as expected.
3470
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3471
 
3472
Internal Changes:
3473
 
3474
    * Error reporting mechanism
3475
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
3476

3489
    then starts.
3490
 
3491
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3492
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
3493
 
3494
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
3495
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3496
    non-platform option.
3497
 
279 dpurdie 3498
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
3637
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3638
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3639
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

3662
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3663
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3664
 
3665
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
3666
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward

3772
      This is the first version that supports Windows 2003 server.
3773
 
3774
      After discovering that several operations are not fully function under
3775
      Perl 5.6.1 the minimum version of Active State Perl that is required has
3776
      been increased.
3777

3783
      New target and toolset: VERIX
3784
 
3785
    * Jats utility: jats_save_build
3786
      Extended to allow all ClearCase specific operations to be removed
3787
      from the Build Daemons.
3788
 
3789
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
3790
 
3791
      Suggested new usage:
3792
        jats etool jats_save_build
3793
                        -pname=xxxx
3794
                        -pversion=yyyy

3801
Minor changes:
3802
    * JATS make: Merge Library Operation [DEVI-049475]
3803
      Fixed such that Library Merge operations don't delete other build
3804
      artifacts.
3805
 
3806
    * JATS make: New option expert=0|1
3807
      Runtime processing of 'expert' mode to allow dependencies between the
3808
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
3809
 
3810
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
3811
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
3812
      time.
3813
 
3814
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
3815
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."
3816
 
3817
    * Nunit support in CSHARP
3818
      Improved support for different version of Nunit
3819

3820
      within the package.
3821
 
3822
    * Jats utility: dstatus
3823
      Suppresses archived releases.
3824
      Shows release state
3825

    * Build file directive: BuildPkgArchive
3827
      Extended list of supported directories to include 'wsdl'.
3828
 
3829
Internal Changes:
3830
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
3831
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3832
      Previously was being done at two places
3833
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3834
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3835
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
3836
 
3837
    * JATS make: Command line
3838
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
3839
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
3840
 
3841
      It didn't work on all platforms.
3842
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
3843
 
3844
    * JATS command line
3845
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
3846
      to allow:
3847
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
3848
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
3849
        + Consistent use of option parsing
3850
 
3851
    * JATS makefile generation
3852
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
3853
      Improved readability of the generation process
3854
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
3855
      Removed dead code
3856
      Improved the creation of Progs
3857
 
3858
    * JATS error reporting
3859
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
3860
      problems.
3861
 
3862
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG
3863
      environment variables where the 'tag' contains a space.
3864
 
3865
    * Assorted Perl files
3866
      Minor corrected after running Perl Syntax check over JATS files.
3867
 
3868
    * Made the use of IFLAGS uniform for all JATS toolsets
3869
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
3870
      makefiles
3871
 
3872
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
3873
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
3874
 
3875
    * FileUtils package.
3876
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
3877
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
3878
      Used functions within JATS.

Major changes:
3892
 
3893
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
3894
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3895
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3896
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3897
 
3898
Minor changes:
3899
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3900
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
3901
 
3902
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
3903
      some windows tools.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3908
Major changes:
3909
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
3910
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3911
 
3912
      New platforms:
3913
        CSHARP2005
3914
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3915
         Support extends to allow:
3916
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3917
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3918
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3919
 
3920
        VS2005
3921
         Support extends to allow:
3922
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3923
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3924
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3925
 
3926
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3927
      through a version selector:
3928
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3929
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3930
 
3931
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3932
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3933
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3934
 
3935
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3936
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3937
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3938
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3939
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3940
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3941
          under VS2005.
3942
 
3943
Minor changes:
3944
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
3945
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
3946
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
3947
 
3948
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3949
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3950
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3951
 
3952
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3953
 
3954
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3955
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3956
 
3957
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3958
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3959
      a minimal value of perl.
3960
 
3961
      Removed excessive require statements.
3962
 
3963
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3964
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3965
      Include JATS specific files for
3966
        1) Windows
3967
        2) Linux
3968
 
3969
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3970
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3971
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3972
      machines.
3973
 
3974
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3975
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3976
 
3977
    * JATS Environment
3978
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3979
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3980
 
3981
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3982
      wrapper scripts.
3983
 
3984
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3985
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3986
      Spell check help and code.

4010
      options are passed correctly.
4011
 
4012
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
4013
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
4014
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
4015
      was added.
4016
 
4017
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
4018
      reviewing a new package.
4019
 
4020
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4021
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
4022
      automatically included in the source file list.
4023
 
253 dpurdie 4024

4037
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
4038
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4039
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4040
  * New toolset and platform
4041
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4042
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4043
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4044
    this platform.
4045
 
4046
Minor changes:
4047
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4048
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4049
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4050
    work.
4051
 
4052
  * Jats utility: release
4053
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4054
    published to dpkg_archive.
4055
 
249 dpurdie 4056
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4057
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4058
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4059
    supported for ANT builds.
4060
 
4061
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4062
        releasemanager.releasename
4063
        releasemanager.projectname
4064
 
4065
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4066
    tagged data item of the form
4067
 
4068
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4069
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4070
 
4071
  * Mug File Generation
4072
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4073
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4074
 
4075
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4076
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4077
    required.
4078
 
4079
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4080
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4081
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4082
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4083
    the files in order to use them.
4084
 
4085
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4086
    locate the file.
4087
 
4088
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4089
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4090
 
4091
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4092
        * CSharp
4093
        * Properties
4094
        * WinRC
4095
 
4096
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4097
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4098
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4099
    Value is correctly assigned.

4103
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4104
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4105
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4106
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4107
 
4108
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4109
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4110
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4111
 
4112
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4113
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4114
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4115
 
4116
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4117
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4118
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4119
 
4120
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4121
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4122
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4123
    correct.
4124
 
4125
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4126
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4127
 
4128
Minor changes:
4129
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4130
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4131
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4132
 
4133
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4134
    This will simplify new user setup.
4135
 
4136
  * All Unix Toolsets
4137
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4138
    on unix systems
4139
 
4140
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4141
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4142
    on some Solaris Machines.
4143
 
4144
  * JATS -version=<version>
4145
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4146
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4147

4200
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4201
                            SetList directive.

      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
4248
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
4249
 
4250
    * MOS Toolset

4302
      that can handle spaces
4303
 
4304
    * MOS Compiler
4305
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
4306
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
4307
 
4308
    * Utility: create_dpkg
4309
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
4310
      descpkg files to be copied.
4311
 
4312
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
4313
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 4348
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
4349
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
4350
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
4351
 
4352
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4353
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
4354
 
4355
    * Jats wrapper
4356
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
4357
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4362
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 4363
    * Jats Release Mechanism
4364
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
4365
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
4366
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
4367
 
4368
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
4369
 
4370
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
4371
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
4372
 
4373
    * Running Jats
4374
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
4375
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
4376
      This may affect some windows developers.
4377
 
4378
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
4379
      Future versions will generate an error.
4380
 
4381
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
4382
 
4383
Minor changes:
4384
    * Perl Version Check
4385
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
4386
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
4387
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
4388
 
4389
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
4390
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
4391
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
4392
      build.
4393
 
4394
    * Jats Internals
4395
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4396
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4397
 
4398
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4399
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4400
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4401
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4402
      process.
4403
 
4404
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4405
      Only works under Windows.
4406
 
4407
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4408
 
4409
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4410
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4411
 
4412
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4413
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4414
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4415
 
4416
    * Jats eprog
4417
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4418
      directory.
4419
 
4420
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4421
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4422
      build metrics.
4423
 
4424

4427
Major changes:
4428
 
4429
Minor changes:
4430
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4431
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4432
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4433
      automated build system. New options are:
4434
        -pname=Package_Name
4435
        -pversion=Package_Version
4436
 
4437
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4438
      transferring the package. New options are:
4439
        -test
4440
 
4441
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4442
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4443
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4444
 
4445
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4446
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4447
 
4448
    * Solaris Toolset
4449
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4450
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4451
      programs are still supported.

4456
Major changes:
4457
 
4458
Minor changes:
4459
    * WINCE toolsets
4460
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4461
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4462
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4463
      when header files cannot be found.
4464
 
4465
    * GenerateFiles directive
4466
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4467
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4468
      that are difficult to solve.
4469
 
4470
    * MakePerlModule directive
4471
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4472
      to the the module builder.
4473
 
4474
    * Jats Tool: label
4475
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4476
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4477
      -dirs=xxx options.
4478
 
4479
    * Jats Tool: release
4480
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4481
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4482
 
4483
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4484
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4485
 
4486
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4487
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4488
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4489
 
4490
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4510
    * make clean up
4511
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4512
 
4513
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4514
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4515
      minor file transformations such as:
4516
        Copy, with optional rename
4517
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4518
        Perform simple TAG replacement

      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4559
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4560
 
4561
    * jats_rewrite utility
4562
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4563
 
4564
    * jats escrow utility
4565
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4566
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4567
 
4568
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4569
      inconsistent packages.
4570
 
4571
    * jats make help
4572
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4573
      available within the current build.
4574
 
4575
    * jats makefiles
4576
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4577
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4578
 
4579
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4580
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4581
 
4582
    * gcc toolset
4583
      SharedLibries.
4584
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4585
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4586
 
4587
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4588
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4589
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4590
 
4591
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4592
        New options:
4593
            --MultiScan
4594
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4595
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4596
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4602
Major changes:
4603
 
4604
Minor changes:
4605
    PackageLib directive
4606
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4607
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4608
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4609
 
4610
    MakefileGenerate directive
4611
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4612
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4613
 
4614
    Multiple Parent detection
4615
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4616
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4617
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4618
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4619
 
4620
    Solaris Toolset
4621
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4622
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4623
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4624
    link.
4625
 
4626
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4627
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4628
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4629
 
4630
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4631
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4632
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4633
    file.

Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
4637
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4638
Major changes:
4639
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4640
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4641
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4642
 
4643
    Summary of changes:
4644
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4645
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4646
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4647
          flexibility.
4648
 
4649
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4650
 
4651
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4652
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4653
          interface directory and associated build information.
4654
 
4655
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4656
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4657
          than one second.
4658
 
4659
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4660
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4661
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4662
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4663
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4664
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4665
 
4666
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4667
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4668
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4669
 
4670
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4671
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4672
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4673
          building them.
4674
 
4675
        - Detection of build file changes
4676
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4677
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4678
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4679
 
4680
        - Quieter make output
4681
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4682
 
4683
 
4684
Minor changes:
4685
    MakeAnt Directive
4686
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4687
 
4688
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4689
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4690
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4691
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4692
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4693
 
4694
    CSHARP toolset
4695
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4696

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4704
    are generated.
4705
 
4706
    MakeAnt
4707
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4708
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4709
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4710
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4711

    MakeAnt directive extended
4723
    New option: --PackageBase
4724
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4725
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4726
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4727
 
4728
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4729
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4730
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4731
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4751
 
4752
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4753
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4754
 
4755
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4756
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4757
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4758
 
4759
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4760
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4761
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4762

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4791
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4792
 
4793
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4794
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4795
      last.
4796
 
4797
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4798
 
4799
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4800
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4801
 
4802
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4803
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4804
 
4805
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4806
 
4807
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4808
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4809
 
4810
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4811
 
4812
 
4813
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4814
           with the --System option

4827
      dependent packages.
4828
 
4829
    * RunTest operation
4830
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.

4837
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4838
Major changes:
4839
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4840
 
4841
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4842
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4843
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4844
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4845
      path.
4846
 
4847
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4848
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4849
      reproducible.
4850
 
4851
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4852
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4853
 
4854
      There are several aspects to the change
4855
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4856
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4857
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4858
 
4859
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4860
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4861
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4862
          controlled separately.
4863
 
4864
Minor changes:
4865
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4866
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4867
        Remove duplicates
4868
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4869

Major changes:
4874
 
4875
Minor changes:
4876
    * Makefile sanity test
4877
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4878
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4879
 
4880
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4881
      x86 machine.
4882
 
4883
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4884
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4885

4888
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4889
Major changes:
4890
    * RunTest directive
4891
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4892
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4893
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4894
 
4895
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4896
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4897
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4898
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4899
 
4900
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4901
        builder within the current toolset.
4902
 
4903
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4904
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4905
 
4906
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4907
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4908
      containing the RunTest directive.
4909
 
4910
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4911
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4912
 
4913
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4914
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4915
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4916
 
4917
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4918
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4919
                            P or D suffix.
4920
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4921
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4922
 
4923
Minor changes:
4924
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4925
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4926
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4927
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4928
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4929
 
4930
    * Save Build Utility
4931
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4932
      used in a ripple build.
4933
 
4934
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4935
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4936
 
4937
    * Release Utility
4938
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4939
      when an error is encountered.
4940
 
4941
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4942
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4943
 
4944
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4945
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4946
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4947
 
4948
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4949
      before the makefiles are created.
4950
 
4951
    * TestProg directive
4952
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4953
 
4954
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4955
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4956

4958
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
4959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4960
Major changes:
4961
    * New build target
4962
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4963
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4964
 
4965
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4966
            DEVLINUX
4967
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4968
 
4969
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4970
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4971
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4972
 
4973
Minor changes:
4974
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4975
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4976
 
4977
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4978
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4979
 
4980
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4981
      and .cs files.
4982
 
4983
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4984
      thing.
4985
 
4986
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4987
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4988
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4989
      were it places temp files.
4990
 
4991
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4992
      interaction with other builds.
4993
 
4994
    * Release utility command
4995
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4996
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4997
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5002
Major changes:
5003
  * Support for building CSHARP code
5004
    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
5005
 
5006
    Supports the handling of .resx files
5007
 
5008
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
5009
    libraries
5010
 
5011
Minor changes:
5012
  * Unit Tests
5013
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
5014
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5015
 
5016
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
5017
    as a Script.

Major changes:
5046
 
5047
Minor changes:
5048
  * WINCE Support
5049
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5050
 
5051
  * Removed the following targets
5052
        TP5600
5053
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5054
        TP5600_EMU
5055
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5056
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5057
 
5058
  * Deployment
5059
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5060
 
5061
  * build.pl
5062
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5063
 
5064
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5065
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5066
 
5067
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5068
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5069
    build.
5070
 
5071
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5072
 
5073
  * Tool: escrow
5074
     New features
5075
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5076
     are not in the SBOM.
5077
 
5078
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5079
 
5080
     Specify packages to be ignored.
5081

5084
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5085
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5086
Major changes:
5087
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5088
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5089
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5090
 
5091
  * GenerateFiles
5092
    Added the options:
5093
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5094
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5095
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5096
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5097
 
5098
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5099
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5100
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5101
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5102
                                  required.
5103
 
5104
 
5105
Minor changes:
5106
  * GenerateFile directive
5107
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5108
 
5109
  * GCC Toolset
5110
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5111
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5112
    be rebuilt.
5113
 
5114
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5115
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5116
 
5117
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5118
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5119
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5120
Major changes:
5121
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5122
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5123
    environment variables.
5124
 
5125
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5126
            moved.
5127
 
5128
    This will affect users that:
5129
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5130
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5131
 
5132
        2) Use the ABT system
5133
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5134
           the required configuration
5135
 
5136
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5137
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5138
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5139
    Windows
5140
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5141
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5142
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5143
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5144
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5145
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5146
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5147
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5148
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5149
 
5150
 
5151
  * New build platforms
5152
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5153
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5154
 
5155
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5156
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5157
 
5158
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5159
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5160
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5161
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5162
 
5163
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5164
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5165
    release.
5166
 
5167
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5168
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5169
 
5170
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5171
    need to be converted.
5172
 
5173
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5174
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5175
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5176
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5177
    used for different targets platforms.
5178
 
5179
  * Sandbox support
5180
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5181
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5182
 
5183
    New command: jats sandbox ...
5184
 
5185
Minor changes:
5186
 
5187
 
5188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5189
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5191
Major changes:
5192
  * MakeAnt directive
5193
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5194
 
5195
    New options
5196
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5197
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5198
 
5199
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5200
    run_unit_tests phase.
5201
 
5202
  * Sandbox support
5203
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5204
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5205
 
5206
Minor changes:
5207
  * jats build
5208
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5209
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5210
 
5211
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5212
 
5213
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5214
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5215
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5216
 
5217
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5218
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5219
 
5220
  * JATS.BAT
5221
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5222
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5223
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5224
 
5225
  * jats label
5226
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5227
 
5228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5229
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
5230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5231
Major changes:
5232
  * New build platform:
5233
        LMOS_TP5600
5234
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5235
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5236
 
5237
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
5238
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
5239
    describe the group of platforms.
5240
 
5241
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5242
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
5243
    build these targets.
5244
 
5245
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
5246
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
5247
 
5248
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
5249
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
5250
 
5251
  * New build platform: WINCE
5252
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
5253
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
5254
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
5255
 
5256
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
5257
            WCEIT3000
5258
            WCEPA961
5259
            WCEPA962
5260
            WCEPCM7220
5261
            WCEPSION_420
5262
            WCEPSPC_arm
5263
            WCEPSPC_emu
5264
            WCEX86A420
5265
            WCEX86A500
5266
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
5267
 
5268
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
5269
 
5270
 *  JATS makefile.pl
5271
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
5272
    that contain packaging directives.
5273
 
5274
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
5275
    very unusual configurations.
5276
 
5277
Minor changes:
5278
  * Directive: PackageFile
5279
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
5280
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
5281
    an '='.
5282
 
5283
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
5284
    of "--Subdir=etc".
5285
 
5286
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
5287
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
5288
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
5289
 
5290
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
5291
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
5292
 
5293
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5294
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
5295
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5296
Major changes:
5297
 
5298
  * JATS release command
5299
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
5300
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
5301
 
5302
    Rules are:
5303
        Modify a file:      File will branch
5304
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
5305
                            File will be placed on a branch
5306
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
5307
                            New directory will branch
5308
 
5309
Minor changes:
5310
  * JATS release command
5311
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
5312
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
5313
 
5314
  * JATS label command
5315
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
5316
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
5317
 
5318
  * JATS make
5319
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
5320
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
5321
    was re-packaged.
5322
 
5323
  * JATS escrow
5324
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
5325
    Use jats escrow -help for details
5326
 
5327
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
5328
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
5329
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
5330
 
5331
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
5332
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
5333
    interface directory.
5334
 
5335
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
5336
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
5337
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
5338
    directory as seen by the package.
5339
 
5340
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
5341
 
5342
  * JAVA 6
5343
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
5344
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
5345
 
5346
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
5347
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
5348
 
5349
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
5350
 
5351
  * Jats command: vars
5352
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
5353
    These indicate potential problems.
5354
 
5355
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5356
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
5357
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5358
Major changes:
5359
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
5360
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
5361
    libarry is also created.
5362
 
5363
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
5364
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
5365
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
5366
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
5367
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
5368
    information contained within the file.
5369
 
5370
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
5371
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
5372
 
5373
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
5374
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
5375
 
5376
  * Building Perl Modules
5377
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
5378
    documentation on the build machine.
5379
 
5380
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
5381
 
5382
Minor changes:
5383
  * jats create_dpkg
5384
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
5385
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
5386
 
5387
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5388
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
5389
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5390
Major changes:
5391
  * JATS JAVA build target
5392
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
5393
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5394
 
5395
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5396
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5397
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5398
    is then picked up as the default version.
5399
 
5400
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5401
    build.pl file.
5402
 
5403
Minor changes:
5404
  * jats release
5405
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5406
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5407
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5408
 
5409
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5410
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5411
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5412
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5413
    the name of the view.
5414
 
5415
  * GenerateFiles directive
5416
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5417
 
5418
  * MOS Toolset
5419
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5420
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5421
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5422
 
5423
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5424
 
5425
 
5426
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5427
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5428
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5429
Major changes:
5430
 
5431
Minor changes:
5432
  * JATS environment
5433
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5434
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5435
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5436
 
5437
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5438
 
5439
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5440
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5441
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5442
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5443
    to be packaged.
5444
 
5445
  * Generated makefiles
5446
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5447
 
5448
  * Generating MOS THX files
5449
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5450
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5451
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5452
 
5453
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5454
 
5455
  * JATS release
5456
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5457
 
5458
  * JATS extract
5459
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5460
 
5461
  * JATS Toolset
5462
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5463
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5464
 
5465
 
5466
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5467
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5468
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5469
Major changes:
5470
 
5471
Minor changes:
5472
  * jats label
5473
    Added a -vob=name option
5474
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5475
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5476
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5477
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5478
 
5479
    Added a -user=name option
5480
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5481
    label to the named user.
5482
 
5483
  * jats release
5484
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5485
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5486
 
5487
  * JATS build.pl
5488
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5489
    ie:
5490
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5491

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5494
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5495
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5496
Major changes:
5497
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5498
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5499
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5500
    the makefile internals. ie:
5501
        --Var(BuildName)
5502
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5503
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5504
 
5505
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5506
 
5507
  * GenerateFiles
5508
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5509
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5510
 
5511
  * BuildPlatforms
5512
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5513
 
5514
Minor changes:
5515
  * GCC Toolset
5516
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5517
 
5518
Internal changes:
5519
  * GenerateFiles
5520
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5521
 
5522
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5523
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5524
 
5525
 
5526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5527
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5528
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5529
Major changes:
5530
  * Caching JATS
5531
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5532
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5533
 
5534
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5535
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5536
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5537
 
5538
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5539
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5540
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5541
 
5542
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5543
 
5544
Minor changes:
5545
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5546
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5547
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5548
 
5549
  * jats build
5550
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5551
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5552
    processed by the build.
5553
 
5554
  * jats build
5555
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5556
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5557
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5558
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5559
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5560
 
5561
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5562
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5563
    Path is not specified.
5564
 
5565
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5566
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5567
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5568
        --Dir=$Pinc
5569
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5570
 
5571
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5572
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5573
    Windows platform.
5574
 
5575
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5576
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5577
            by 'purecov.
5578
 
5579
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5580
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5581
 
5582
        - OPTIONS=purify
5583
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5584
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5585
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5586

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
5590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5591
Major changes:
5592
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5593
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5594
    Example:
5595
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5596
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5597
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5598
 
5599
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5600
    been determined.
5601
 
5602
Minor changes:
5603
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5604
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5605
    located at build-time.
5606
 
5607
  * Unix based systems
5608
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5609
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5610
 
5611
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5612
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5613
    driver being built.
5614
 
5615
 
5616
------------------------------------------------------------------------

5621
 
5622
Minor changes:
5623
  * jats_rewrite tool
5624
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
5625
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
5626
 
5627
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5628
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5629
 
5630
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5631
    dependancy information within a package.
5632
 
5633
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5634
    messages.
5635
 
5636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5637
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
5638
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5639
Major changes:
5640
  * makefile.pl directives
5641
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
5642
 
5643
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5644
 
5645
    GenerateFiles.
5646
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5647
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5648
                      be run on every invocation.
5649
 
5650
 
5651
Minor changes:
5652
  * Added the jats version command
5653
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
5654
 
5655
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
5656
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5657
  There are two mechanism:
5658
 
5659
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5660
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5661
 
5662
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5663
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5664
 
5665
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5666
  default.
5667
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5668
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
5669

5672
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5673
Major changes:
5674
  * SunWorks Toolset
5675
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5676
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5677
    It is based on machine type.
5678
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5679
 
5680
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5681
 
5682
Minor changes:
5683
  * Perl DBI interface
5684
    Removed the message showing database connection
5685
 
5686
  * JATS internal library
5687
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
5688
 
5689

Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
5691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5692
Major changes:
5693
  * GCC Toolset
5694
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
5695
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
5696
    Removed the use of `uname`.
5697
 
5698
  * Added platforms
5699
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
5700
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5701
    TP5600_EMU
5702
 
5703
Minor changes:
5704
  * descpkg file reader
5705
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
5706
    field separator.
5707
 
5708
  * JATS eprog command
5709
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5710
 
5711
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5712
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5713
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5714
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5715
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5716
 
5717
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5718
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5719
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5720
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5721
 
5722
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5723
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
5724

5728
Major changes:  Directive: RunTests
5729
  * The --CopyIn option will always copy in the specified files
5730
 
5731
  * GCC Toolset (Shared Library Generation)
5732
    Added option --Def=file_name to the shared library definitions
5733
 
5734
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
5735
 
5736
 
5737
Minor changes:
5738
  * JATS wrapper script
5739
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5740
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5741
    to setup links to system programs.

5761
Major changes:
5762
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5763
    Added CompileOptions
5764
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5765
        no_misalign         - Default
5766
 
5767
        multithread         - Default

5770
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
5771
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
5772
 
5773
        prod_no_optimise
5774
        prod_no_debuginfo
5775

5783
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5784
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5785
    Theses are:
5786
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5787
        SOLARIS_AMD
5788
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5789
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5790
 
5791
Minor changes:
5792
  * AT3232 toolset

5802
Major changes:
5803
 
5804
Minor changes:
5805
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5806
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5807
    messages
5808
 
5809
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5810
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5811
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5812
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5813
 
5814

5815
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
5816
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5817
Major changes:
5818
 
5819
Minor changes:
5820
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5821
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5822
    library without creating the body of the library:
5823
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5824
 
5825
 
5826
  * MOS toolsets
5827
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5828
    library without creating the body of the library:
5829
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5830
 
5831
  * JATS BIN directories
5832
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5833
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5834
    using autoconf.
5835
 
5836
  * Generate directive
5837
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5838
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5839
 
5840
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5841

5844
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5845
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5846
Major changes:
5847
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5848
    Initial release.
5849
 
5850
Minor changes:
5851

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5854
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5855
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5856
Major changes:
5857
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5858
    Initial release.
5859
 
5860
  * Packaging directives
5861
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5862
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5863
 
5864
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5865
        SOLARIS
5866
        WIN32
5867
 
5868
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5869
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5870
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5871
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5872
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5873
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5874
 
5875
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5876
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5877
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5878
 
5879
 
5880
Minor changes:
5881
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5882
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5883
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5884
 
5885
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5886
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5887
    location
5888
 
5889
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5890
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5891
 
5892
  * Utility genrc
5893
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5894
 
5895
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5896
    Added option: -new
5897
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5898
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5899
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5900
 
5901
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5902
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5903
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5904
 
5905
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5906
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5907
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5908
 
5909
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5910
   features - in a uniform manner.
5911
 
5912
 
5913
Internal Changes:
5914
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5915
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5916
 
5917
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5918
        1) Platform information available at build time
5919
        2) Dynamic platform names
5920
 
5921
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5922
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5923
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5924
 
5925
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5926
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5927
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5928
 
5929
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5930
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5931
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5932
    needed.
5933
 
5934
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5935
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5936
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5937
    files from all of these.
5938

5940
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
5941
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5942
Major changes:
5943
 
5944
Minor changes:
5945
  * WinCE toolset
5946
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
5947
 
5948
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5949
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5951
Major changes:
5952
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5953
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5954
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5955
 
5956
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5957
 
5958
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5959
    the operations.
5960
 
5961
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5962
 
5963
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5964
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5965
 
5966
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5967
 
5968
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5969
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5970
 
5971
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5972
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5973
    Extended the built-in help
5974
    Added useful error messages
5975
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5976
 
5977
  * WinCE toolset
5978
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5979
 
5980
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5981
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5982
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5983
 
5984
Minor changes:
5985
  * JATS wrapper script
5986
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5987
    the command line.
5988
 
5989
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5990
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5991
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5992
 
5993
Internal Changes:
5994
  * Common Error Reporting
5995
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5996
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5997
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5998
    level.
5999
 
6000
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6001
    displayed.
6002
 
6003
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6004
 
6005
  * Added JatsSystem module
6006
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6007
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6008
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

6010
Major changes:
6011
 
6012
Minor changes:
6013
  * BR Compiler toolset
6014
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6015
    .def files to include other files.
6016
 
6017
  * IAR toolset
6018
    Added AT7272 support
6019
 
6020
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6021
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6022
 
6023
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6024
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6026
Major changes:
6027
 
6028
Minor changes:
6029
  * BR Compiler toolset
6030
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6031
    use.
6032
 
6033
 
6034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6035
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6036
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6037
Major changes:
6038
 
6039
Minor changes:
6040
  * Mictotec toolset
6041
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6042
    builds.
6043
 
6044
  * JATS Core
6045
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6046
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6047
    behaviour.
6048
 
6049
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6050
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6052
Major changes:
6053
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6054
    Deployment package will be affected.
6055
 
6056
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6057
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6058
 
6059
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6060
 
6061
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6062
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6063
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6064
    packages.
6065
 
6066
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6067
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6068
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6069
 
6070
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6071
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6072
 
6073
Minor changes:
6074
  * SubDir directive
6075
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6076
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6077
 
6078
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6079
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6080
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6081
    of the file usage.
6082
 
6083
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6084
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6085
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6086
 
6087
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6088
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6089
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6090
 
6091
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6092
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6093
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6094
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6095
 
6096
 
6097
Internal Changes:
6098
  * Code refactor
6099
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6100
 
6101
  * Deployment utilities
6102
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6103
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6104
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6105
    the module can locate the file.
6106
 
6107
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6108
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6109
 
6110
  * JATS core
6111
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6112
 
6113
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6114
 
6115
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6116
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6117
    through the use of environment variables.
6118
 
6119
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6120
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6121
 
6122
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6123
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6124
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6125
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6126
 
6127
  * Make environment
6128
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6129
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6130
 
6131
 
6132

6142
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6143
 
6144
Not Released.
6145
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6146
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6147
 
6148
 
6149

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6152
Major changes:
6153
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6154
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6155
    radically replaced.
6156
 
6157
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6158
    Usage:
6159
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6160
 
6161
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6162
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6163
    this solution:
6164
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6165
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6166
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6167
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6168
 
6169
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6170
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6171
    order to work.
6172
 
6173
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6174
    reduced functionality.
6175
 
6176
 
6177
Minor changes:
6178
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6179
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6180
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6181
 
6182
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6183
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6184
    within the makefiles.
6185
        Options:
6186
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6187
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6188
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6189
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6190
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6191
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6192
        Useage:
6193
 
6194
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6195
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6196
 
6197
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6198
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6199
    is not in the current directory.
6200
 
6201
  * Jats Command: ant'
6202
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6203
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6204
 
6205
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6206
 
6207
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6208
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6209
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6210
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6211
 
6212
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6213
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6214
    Thus
6215
 
6216
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6217
 
6218
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6219

Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6224
Major changes:
6225
 
6226
Minor changes:
6227
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6228
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6229
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6230
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6231
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6232
 
6233
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6234
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6235
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6236
 
6237
Internal changes:
6238
  * JATS toolsets
6239
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6240
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6241
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6242
 
6243
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6244
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6245
 
6246
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6247
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6248
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6249
Major changes:
6250
  * Jats command: etool
6251
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6252
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6253
 
6254
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6255
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6256
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6257
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6258
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6259
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6260
 
6261
Minor changes:
6262

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6265
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
6266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6267
Major changes:
6268
  * JATS environment variables
6269
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
6270
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
6271
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
6272
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
6273
        will not publish packages in this repository.
6274
 
6275
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
6276
              Remote repository
6277
 
6278
    Added GBE_DPLY
6279
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
6280
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
6281
 
6282
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6283
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
6284
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
6285
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
6286
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
6287
 
6288
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
6289
    processed once and it will be processed last.
6290
 
6291
 
6292
Minor changes:
6293
  * JATS utility: build
6294
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
6295
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
6296
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
6297
 
6298
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
6299
    Ensure label is not locked
6300
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
6301
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
6302
 
6303
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
6304
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
6305
    to a specific type of build.
6306
 
6307
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
6308
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
6309
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
6310
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
6311
 
6312
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
6313
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
6314
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
6315
 
6316
  * JATS utility: release
6317
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
6318
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
6319
 
6320
  * JATS utility: label
6321
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
6322
    when it is being created.
6323
 
6324
Internal Changes
6325
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
6326
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
6327
 
6328
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
6329
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
6330
 
6331
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
6332
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
6333
    different results.
6334
 
6335
  * ToolsetRequire directive
6336
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
6337
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
6338
 
6339
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6340
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
6341
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6342
Major changes:
6343
 
6344
  * MCR toolset
6345
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
6346
 
6347
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6348
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
6349
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6350
Major changes:
6351
  * WIN32 utilities
6352
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
6353
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
6354
 
6355
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
6356
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
6357
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
6358
 
6359
Minor changes:
6360
  * BuildVersion
6361
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
6362
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
6363
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
6364
 
6365
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
6366
 
6367
  * Unix Builds
6368
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
6369
    library or a shared library.
6370
 
6371
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
6372
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
6373
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
6374
    start with 'lib'.
6375
 
6376
  * BuildPkgArchive
6377
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
6378
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
6379
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
6380
 
6381
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6382
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
6383
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6384
Major changes:
6385
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6386
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
6387
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
6388
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
6389
    being manually maintained.
6390
 
6391
 
6392
Minor changes:
6393
  * MakeAnt directive
6394
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
6395
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
6396
    supports ANT builds.
6397
 
6398
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6399
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
6400
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
6401
 
6402
  * Label utility
6403
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
6404
    files to be labeled.
6405
 
6406
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
6407
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
6408
    on Solaris.
6409
 
6410
  * Generated makefiles
6411
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
6412
    nothing.
6413
 
6414
  * MOS Toolset
6415
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
6416
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
6417
    modules.
6418
 
6419
  * Utility: gen_cots
6420
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
6421
    and then check it in under clearcase.
6422
 
6423
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
6424
 
6425
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
6426
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
6427
 
6428
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6429
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
6430
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6431
Major changes:
6432
  None
6433
 
6434
Minor changes:
6435
  * DEVI addressed
6436
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6437
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6438
 
6439
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6440
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6441
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6442
 
6443
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6444
 
6445
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6446
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6447
 
6448
  * RunTest directive
6449
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6450
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6451
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6452
 
6453
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6454
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6455
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6456
    packaged under JATS
6457
 
6458
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6459
          supported within JATS.
6460
 
6461
  * Jats utility wrapper
6462
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6463
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6464
 
6465
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6466
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6467
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6468
 
6469
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6470
    Eg: jats ant
6471
 
6472
  * Jats utility wrapper
6473
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6474
 
5710 dpurdie 6475
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6476
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6477
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6478
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6479
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6480
 
5710 dpurdie 6481
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6482
    expect a build.pl file.
6483
 
6484
  * Jats utility wrapper
6485
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6486
 
6487
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6488
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6489
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6490
 
6491
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6492
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6493
 
6494
  * Build files
6495
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6496
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6497

6499
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6500
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6501
Major changes:
6502
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6503
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6504
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6505
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6506
 
6507
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6508
 
6509
Minor changes:
6510
  * None
6511
 
6512
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6513
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6514
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6515
Major changes:
6516
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6517
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6518
    ie:
6519
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6520
 
6521
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6522
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6523
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6524
    environments are compatible.
6525
 
6526
 
6527
Minor changes:
6528
  * BuildName option
6529
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6530
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6531
 
6532
  * jats.bat
6533
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6534
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6535
 
6536
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6537
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6538
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6539
Major changes:
6540
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6541
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6542
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6543
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6544
 
6545
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6546
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6547
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6548
 
6549
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6550
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6551
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6552
 
6553
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6554
    transferred.
6555
 
6556
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6557
    See notes below.
6558
 
6559
  * WIN32 toolset
6560
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6561
    correctly.
6562
 
6563
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6564
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6565
 
6566
  * BuildVersion
6567
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6568
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6569
    other langauges as needed.
6570
 
6571
 
6572
Minor changes:
6573
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6574
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6575
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6576
    version strings.
6577
 
6578
  * GenerateFiles directive
6579
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6580
    package or an imported package.
6581
 
6582
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6583
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6584
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6585
 
6586
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6587
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6588
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6589
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6590
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6591
 
6592
Internal Changes
6593
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6594
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6595
    of utilities.
6596
 
6597
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6598
    functions.
6599
 
6600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6601
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6602
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6603
Major changes:
6604
  * Generated makefiles
6605
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6606
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6607
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6608
 
6609
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6610
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6611
    incorrectly processing:
6612
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6613
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6614
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6615
    confused.
6616
 
6617
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6618
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6619
    The construct
6620
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6621
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6622
    then it works.
6623
 
6624
  * MakeAnt directive
6625
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6626
 
6627
    This option has the following effects
6628
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6629
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6630
 
6631
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6632
           early - in the generated files phase.
6633
 
6634
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6635
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6636
 
6637
 
6638
Minor changes:
6639
  * JATS post-installation script
6640
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6641
 
6642
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6643
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6644
    windows.
6645
 
6646
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6647
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6648
 
6649
  * Jats wrapper script
6650
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6651
        1) Contain spaces
6652
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6653
 
6654
  * Toolset
6655
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6656
 
6657
  * JAVA toolset
6658
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6659
    directive:
6660
 
6661
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6662
 
6663
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6664
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6665
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6666
 
6667
  * GCC Toolset
6668
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6669
 
6670
  * Makefile generation
6671
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6672
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6673
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6674
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6675
    package could not be used.
6676
 
6677
  * Unit Tests
6678
    The following environment variables are set:
6679
 
6680
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6681
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6682
 
6683
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6684
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6685
 
6686
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6687
 
6688
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6689
 
6690
 
6691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6692
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6694
Major changes:
6695
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6696
 
6697
    Special features of this toolset.
6698
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6699
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6700
       incorporated within the target image.
6701
 
6702
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6703
       --Set=Name=Value
6704
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6705
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6706
 
6707
       --Ref=name
6708
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6709
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6710
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6711
                will be taken from the build version number.
6712
 
6713
Minor changes:
6714
  * MOS Toolset
6715
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6716
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6717
    packaged.
6718
 
6719
  * Src directive
6720
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6721
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6722
    specifier.
6723
 
6724
  * WIN32 runtime support
6725
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6726
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6727
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6728
 
6729
Internal:
6730
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6731
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6732
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6733
 
6734
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6735
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6736
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6737
Major changes:
6738
    * BuildAlias directive
6739
      Added options.
6740
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6741
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6742
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6743
                          targets.
6744
      Eg:
6745
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6746
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6747
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6748
 
6749
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6750
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6751
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6752
 
6753
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6754
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6755
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6756
 
6757
 
6758
Minor changes:
6759
  * Label utility
6760
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6761
    build.pl file
6762
 
6763
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6764
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6765
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6766
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6767
    --FilterIn option.
6768
 
6769
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6770
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6771
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6772
 
6773
  * Location of descpkg file
6774
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6775
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6776
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6777
 
6778
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6779
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6780
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6781
Major changes:
6782
  * RunTest directive
6783
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6784
    Additional options
6785
      --CopyIn=file
6786
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6787
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6788
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6789
        the test area.
6790
 
6791
    Additional operations
6792
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6793
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6794
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6795
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6796
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6797
    Allows flags:
6798
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6799
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6800
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6801
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6802
 
6803
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6804
    existence is tested.
6805
 
6806
  * Packaging Directives
6807
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6808
    such as LMOS.
6809
 
6810
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6811
 
6812
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6813
 
6814
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6815
 
6816
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6817
 
6818
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6819
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6820
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6821
 
6822
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6823
 
6824
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6825
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6826
 
6827
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6828
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6829
 
6830
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6831
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6832
 
6833
Minor changes:
6834
  * Script directive
6835
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6836
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6837
 
6838
  * JATS environment
6839
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6840
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6841
    the JATS wrapper script.
6842
 
6843
  * Label utility
6844
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6845
    There are three modes of operation:
6846
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6847
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6848
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6849
 
6850
 
6851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6852
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6854
Major changes:
6855
 
6856
Minor changes:
6857
  * label utility
6858
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6859
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6860
 
6861
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6862
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6863
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6864
      --ProgLoader=name
6865
 
6866
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6867
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6868
    Options to do this are:
6869
        --TreeDir=name
6870
        --FilterOut=regexp
6871
        --FilterIn=regexp
6872
        --StripDir
6873
 
6874
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6875
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6876
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6877
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6878
 
6879
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6880
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6881
 
6882
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6883
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6884
 
6885
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6886
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6887
 
6888
 
6889
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6890
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6891
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6892
Major changes:
6893
    * Make commands
6894
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6895
 
6896
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6897
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6898
 
6899
    * Label utility
6900
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6901
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6902
 
6903
Minor changes:
6904
    * Toolsets
6905
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6906
      variables and overrides.
6907
 
6908
      The make_init target is always run.
6909
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6910
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6911
 
6912
    * Deployment
6913
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6914
      with deployment operations.
6915
 
6916
    * Release utility
6917
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6918
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6919
      restricted by options within the build.
6920
 
6921
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6922
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6923
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6924
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6925
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6926
 
6927
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6928
      directives.
6929
 
6930
    * MakeProject directive
6931
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6932
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6933
 
6934
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6935
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6936
      is preserved.
6937
 
6938
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6939
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6940
      statements.
6941
 
6942
    * Mugfile generation
6943
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6944
      be placed in the target package.
6945
 
6946
 
6947
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6948
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6949
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6950
Major changes:
6951
    * BuildVersion directive
6952
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6953
      number as well as a patch number.
6954
 
6955
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6956
      number.
6957
 
6958
Minor changes:
6959
    * AddFlags directives
6960
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6961
      duplicate flags being added.
6962
 
6963
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6964
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6965
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6966
 
6967
    * Mug File Generation
6968
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6969
 
6970
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6971
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6972
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6973
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6974
     directory.
6975
 
6976
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6977

Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6981
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6982
Major changes:
6983
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6984
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6985
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6986
      longer a list of directories.
6987
 
6988
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6989
      done within the toolset.
6990
 
6991
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6992
 
6993
    * JATS environment variables
6994
      Redefined variable
6995
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6996
                          Previously was a list that included the
6997
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6998
 
6999
      New variable
7000
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7001
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7002
 
7003
 
7004
Minor changes:
7005
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7006
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7007
      target platforms to be extracted.
7008
 
7009
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7010
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7011
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7012
 
7013
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7014
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7015
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7016
 
7017
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7018
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7019
 
7020
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7021
      Support ANT based XML files
7022
 
7023
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7024
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7025
      structure.
7026
 
7027
    * makefile.pl's
7028
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7029
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7030
 
7031
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7032
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7033
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7034
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7035
 
7036
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7037
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7038
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7039
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7040
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7041
      -- Auto.
7042
 
7043
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7044
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7045
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7046
 
7047
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7048
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7049
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7050
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7051
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7052
 
7053
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7054
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7055
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7056
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7057
      installed on the machine.
7058
 
7059
    * WINCE Targets
7060
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7061
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7062
 
7063
 
7064
 
7065
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7066
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7067
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7068
Major changes:
7069
    * WIN32 platforms
7070
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7071
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7072
      and installed packages.
7073
 
7074
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7075
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7076
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7077
 
7078
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7079
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7080
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7081
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7082
      searched when looking for libraries.
7083
 
7084
Minor changes:
7085
    * GenerateFiles directive
7086
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7087
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7088
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7089
                          and drive letter
7090
 
7091
    * Src directive
7092
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7093
      directory of a package.
7094
 
7095
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7096
 
7097
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7098
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7099
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7100
 
7101
    * jats_rewrite utility
7102
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7103
 
7104
 
7105
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7106
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7107
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7108
Major changes:
7109
    * SunWorks production builds
7110
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7111
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7112
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7113
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7114
      compiler documentation.
7115
 
7116
    * MOS Toolset
7117
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7118
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7119
 
7120
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7121
 
7122
Minor changes:
7123
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7124
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7125
      This should not affect current users.
7126
 
7127
    * Mugfile generation
7128
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7129
      specified.
7130
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7131
 
7132
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7133
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7135
Major changes:
7136
    MOS Toolset
7137
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7138
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7139
 
7140
Minor changes:
7141
    * Jats wrapper script
7142
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7143
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7144
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7145
 
7146
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7147
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7148
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7149
      may be suspect.
7150
 
7151
    * GenerateFiles directive
7152
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7153
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7154
 
7155
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7156
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7158
Major changes:
7159
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7160
      build.xml files.
7161
 
7162
Minor changes:
7163
    * WIN32 toolset.
7164
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7165
 
7166
    * MakeAnt
7167
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7168
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7169
 
7170
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7171
 
7172
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7173
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7174
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7175
 
7176
    * MakeAnt directive
7177
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7178
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7179
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7180
 
7181
      Recommended usage:
7182
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7183
 
7184
Internal Changes
7185
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7186
 
7187

7189
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7191
Major changes:
7192
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7193
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7194
      files packaged into the release.
7195
 
7196
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
7197
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7200
 
7201
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7202
      The recommended platform is:
7203
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7204
 
7205
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7206
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7207
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7208
      components.
7209
 
7210
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
7211

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildSmallJavaComponents
7214
 
7215
Minor changes:
7216
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7217
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7218
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7219
      by the package to be accessed.
7220
 
7221
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7222
      application or visual studio.
7223
 
7224
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7225
      and the JATS Core path.
7226
 
7227
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7228
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7229
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7230
 
7231
    * MOS Toolset
7232
      Add support for the TPT device
7233
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7234
 
7235
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7236
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7237
 
7238
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7239
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7240
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7241
 
7242
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7243
 
7244
Internal Changes
7245
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7246
      in jats.pl
7247
 
7248
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7249
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7251
Major changes:
7252
    * JATS wrapper script
7253
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7254
 
7255
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7256
 
7257
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7258
 
7259
Minor changes:
7260
    * Deployment support
7261
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7262
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7263
 
7264
    * 'build'
7265
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
7266
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
7267
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
7268
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
7269
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
7270
 
7271
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
7272
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
7273
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
7274
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
7275
                                      the link phase.
7276
 
7277
    * BuildPkgArchive
7278
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
7279
      Previously these were ignored.
7280
      Minor code cleanup
7281
 
7282
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
7283
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
7284
      Manager "Source Path" field.
7285
 
7286
    * SOLARIS targets
7287
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
7288
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
7289
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
7290
 
7291
    * MugFile generation
7292
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
7293
      included in the final package.
7294
 
7295
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
7296
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
7297
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
7298
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
7299
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
7300
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
7301
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
7302
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
7303
 
7304
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
7305
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
7306
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
7307
            --Option=(some_text)
7308
            --Option=[some_text]
7309
            --Option={some_text}
7310
 
7311
Internal Changes
7312
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
7313
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
7314
      code.
7315
 
7316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7317
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
7318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7319
Major changes:
7320
    * JATS wrapper script
7321
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
7322
 
7323
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
7324
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
7325
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
7326
      other components.
7327
 
7328
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
7329
 
7330
    * JATS
7331
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
7332
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
7333
 
7334
    * Build operations
7335
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
7336
      if required packages are built against different versions of
7337
      packages.
7338
 
7339
    * Make operations
7340
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
7341
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
7342
 
7343
Minor changes:
7344
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
7345
      deployment builds.
7346
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
7347
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
7348
 
7349
      Extended the "jats vars" display
7350
 
7351
    * build.pl
7352
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
7353
        processed. Allows
7354
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
7355
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
7356
        production.
7357
 
7358
    * MOS toolset
7359
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
7360
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
7361
 
7362
    * create_dpkg utility
7363
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
7364
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
7365
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
7366
      progress of the build.
7367
 
7368
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
7369
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
7370
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
7371
      system.
7372

7374
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
7375
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7376
Major changes:
7377
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7378
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
7379
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
7380
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
7381
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
7382
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
7383
 
7384
    * WCEX86A500 target
7385
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
7386
 
7387
    * MOS Toolsets
7388
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
7389
      the compiler.
7390
 
7391
    * RunTest directive
7392
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
7393
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7394
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7395
 
7396
Minor changes:
7397
    * JATS BUILD
7398
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7399
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7400
      highlight bad settings.
7401
 
7402
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7403
      access to extensions.
7404
 
7405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7406
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7407
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7408
Major changes:
7409
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7410
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7411
 
7412
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7413
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7414
      under unix.
7415
 
7416
Minor changes:
7417
    * label utility
7418
      Added options to:
7419
        o Delete a label
7420
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7421
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7422
 
7423
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7424
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7425
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7426
      Package directives.
7427
 
7428
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7429
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7430
      system.
7431
 
7432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7433
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7434
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7435
Major changes:
7436
    * MOS Toolset
7437
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7438
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7439
 
7440
    * WIN32 Toolset
7441
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7442
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7443
      list.
7444
 
7445
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7446
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7447
 
7448
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7449
 
7450
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7451
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7452
 
7453
 
7454
Minor changes:
7455
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7456
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7457
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7458
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7459
      corrected.
7460
 
7461
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7462
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7463
 
7464
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7465
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7466
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7467

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7469
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7470
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7471
Major changes:
7472
    * WIN32 Toolset
7473
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7474
      use with multithreaded modes.
7475
 
7476
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7477
      --OnlyProd.
7478
 
7479
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7480
      within the makefile.pl.
7481
 
7482
Minor changes:
7483
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7484
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7485
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7486
      platforms.
7487
 
7488
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7489
 
7490
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7491
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7492
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7493
Major changes:
7494
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7495
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7496
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7497
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7498
 
7499
    * Preliminary Support
7500
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7501
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7502
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7503
 
7504
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7505
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7506
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7507
 
7508
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7509
      building. The default build will build both.
7510
 
7511
Minor changes:
7512
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7513
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7514
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7515
 
7516
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7517
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7518
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7519
 
7520
 
7521
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7522
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7523
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7524
Major changes:
7525
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7526
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7527
      or all.
7528
 
7529
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7530
      the library or program.
7531
 
7532
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7533
 
7534
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7535
      library or any debug files.
7536
 
7537
    * GenerateFiles
7538
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7539
 
7540
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7541
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7542
 
7543
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7544
              The filename of the prereq file
7545
 
7546
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7547
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7548
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7549
 
7550
 
7551
Minor changes:
7552
    * create_dpkg utility
7553
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7554
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7555
      the package has been altered.
7556
 
7557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7558
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

7560
Major changes:
7561
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7562
      This is a WINCE target
7563
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7564
 
7565
    * New toolset
7566
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7567
 
7568
    * Modified toolset
7569
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7570
 
7571
    * Modified toolset
7572
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7573
 
7574
Minor changes:
7575
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7576
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7577
 
7578
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7579
 
7580
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7581
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7582
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7583
 
7584
      The change allows the construct
7585
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7586
      to be replaced by the simpler
7587
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7588
 
7589
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7590
      specified name.

7610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7611
Major changes:
7612
    * The "package.pl" file.
7613
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7614
      package name being taken from the build name
7615
 
7616
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7617
      package Build Name.
7618
 
7619
Minor changes:
7620
    * create_dpkg utility
7621
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7622
 
7623

7626
Major changes:
7627
 
7628
Minor changes:
7629
    * Dependancy generator
7630
      Correct two common situations
7631
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7632
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7633
           ansi, but is often done.
7634
 
7635
    * GCC toolset
7636
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7637
      being created in the correct place.
7638
 
7639
    * jats "label"
7640
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7641
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7642
 
7643
 
7644
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7645
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7646
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7647
Major changes:
7648
 
7649
Minor changes:
7650
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7651
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7652
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7653
 
7654
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7655
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7656
 
7657
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7658
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7659
      package was not being transferred.
7660
 
7661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7662
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7663
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7664
Major changes:
7665
    * Support for solaris_i386
7666
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7667
      binaries for this target.
7668
 
7669
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7670
      with the GCC compiler.
7671
 
7672
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7673
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7674
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7675
 
7676
Minor changes:
7677
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7678
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7679
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7680
 
7681
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7682
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7683
 
7684
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7685
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7687
Major changes:
7688
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7689
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7690
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7691
 
7692
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7693
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7694
 
7695
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7696
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7697
      with either " or ' characters.
7698
 
7699
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7700
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7701
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7702
 
7703
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7704
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7705
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7706
 
7707
    * Jats wrapper
7708
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7709
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7710
      further commands.
7711
 
7712
Minor changes:
7713
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7714
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7715
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7716
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7717
 
7718
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7719
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7720
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7721
Major changes:
7722
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7723
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7724
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7725
 
7726
      These options operation affect all components within the
7727
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7728
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7729
 
7730
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7731
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7732
 
7733
Minor changes:

7736
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7737
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7738
Major changes:
7739
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7740
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7741
 
7742
Minor changes:
7743
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7744
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7745
 
7746
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7747
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7748
 
7749
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7750
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7751
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7752
Major changes:
7753
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7754
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7755
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7756
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7757
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7758
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7759
      installed.

7761
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7762
      libraries that depend on each other.
7763
 
7764
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7765
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7766
 
7767
Minor changes:
7768
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7769
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7770
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7771
 
7772
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7773
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7774
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7775
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.

7778
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7780
Major changes:
7781
 
7782
Minor changes:
7783
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7784
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7785
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7786
      file.
7787
 
7788
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7789
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7790
 
7791
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7792
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7793
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7794
 
7795
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7796
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7797
 
7798
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7799
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7800
 
7801
    * WinCE toolsets
7802
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7803
      compiler specific libraries.
7804
 
7805
    * SOLARIS toolset
7806
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7807
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7808
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7809
 
7810
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7811
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7812
      cleaned up.
7813
 
7814
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7815
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7816
 
7817
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7818
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7819
      with either " or ' characters.
7820
 
7821
 
7822
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7823
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7824
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7825
Major changes:
7826
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7827
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7828
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7829
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7830
 
7831
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7832
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7833
 
7834
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7835
      user.
7836
 
7837
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7838
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7839
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7840
 
7841
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7842
      for the   -Gf option.
7843
 
7844
Minor changes:
7845
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7846
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7847
 
7848
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7849
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7850
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7851
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7852
 
7853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7854
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7855
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7856
Major changes:
7857
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7858
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7859
 
7860
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7861
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7862
      data addresses for the board.
7863
 
7864
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7865
 
7866
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7867
 
7868
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7869
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7870
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7871
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7872
         PackageFile
7873
 
7874
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7875
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7876
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7877
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7878
 
7879
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7880
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7881
      to be installed and packaged.
7882
 
7883
Minor changes:
7884
 
7885
    * cache_dpkg utility
7886
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7887
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7888
 
7889
    * label utility
7890
      New option -auto to create and label
7891
 
7892
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7893
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7894
 
7895
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7896
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7897
      directory. ie:
7898
 
7899
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7900
 
7901
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7902
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7903
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7904
 
7905
 
7906
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7907
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7908
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7909
Major changes:
7910
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7911
 
7912
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7913
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7914
 
7915
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7916
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7917
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7918
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7919
 
7920
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7921
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7922
      compilation.
7923
 
7924
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7925
 
7926
Minor changes:
7927
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7928
      one is being produced.
7929
 
7930
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7931
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7932
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7933
 
7934
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7935
 
7936
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7937
 
7938
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7939
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7940
 
7941
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7942
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7943
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7944
Major changes:
7945
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7946
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7947
 
7948
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7949
 
7950
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7951
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7952
      same directory
7953
 
7954
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7955
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7956
      documenattion.
7957
 
7958
Minor changes:
7959
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7960
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7961
 
7962
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7963
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7964
 
7965
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7966
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7967
 
7968
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7969
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7970
 
7971
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7972
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7973
      be exempt from this test.
7974
 
7975
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7976
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7977
 
7978
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7979
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7980
 
7981
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7982
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7983
      does.
7984
 
7985
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7986
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7987
 
7988
 
7989
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7990
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7991
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7992
Major changes:
7993
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7994
 
7995
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7996
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7997
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7998
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7999
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8000
 
8001
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8002
      operations.
8003
 
8004
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8005
 
8006
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8007
 
8008
Minor changes
8009
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8010
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8011
 
8012
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8013
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8014
      directory is not added to the library path.
8015
 
8016
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8017
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8018
 
8019
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8020
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8021
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8022
 
8023
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8024
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8025
      specific flags.
8026
 
8027
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8028
 
8029
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8030
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8031
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8032
 
8033
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8034
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8035
      JATS.
8036
 
8037
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8038
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8039
 
8040
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8041
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8042
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8043
 
8044
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8045
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8046
 
8047
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8048
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8049
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8050
 
8051
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8052
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8053
 
8054
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8055
 
8056
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8057
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8058
 
8059
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8060
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8061
      objects.
8062
 
8063
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8064
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8065
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8066
      build defendants.
