      The use of a 'local_dpkg_archive' is deprecated in favor of the jats 
22
      'sandbox', which does a much better job.
23

48
        The [..] construct is a filename expanding construct.
49
 
50
     * Win32 and Win64 makefile generation
51
       Allow the 'cmdfile' commands to be shown in verbose mode.
52

128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
129
 
130
Minor changes:
131
    * Makefiles: Enhanced platform specifier
132

Version:  3.13.4000.cr                              Released: 31-Mar-17 
140
------------------------------------------------------------------------
141
 
142
Minor changes:
143
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
144
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
145
 
146
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
147
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
148
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
149
      build errors.
150
 
151
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
152
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
153
 
154
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
155
      Shorthand for
156
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
157
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
158
 
159
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
160
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
161
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
162
      Examples: 
163
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
164
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
165
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
166
 
167
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
168
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
169
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
170
 
171
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
172
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
173
      build system.
174
 
175
Experimental:
176
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
177
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
178
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.
7300 dpurdie 179
      This will change 
6133 dpurdie 180
 
181
------------------------------------------------------------------------
182
Version:  3.13.3000.cr                              Released: 13-Mar-17
183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
184
 
185
Minor changes:
186
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
187
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
188
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
189
 
190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
191
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
192
------------------------------------------------------------------------
193
 
194
Minor changes:
195
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
196
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
197
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
198
 
199
    * Build Files
200
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
201
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
202
 
203
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
204
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
205
 
206
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
207
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
208
 
209
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
210
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
211
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
212
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
213
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
214
 
215
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
216
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
217
     different architectures.
218
 
219
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
220
     are directed to one or more machines.
221
 
222
     Intended uses:
223
        Windows: Creating installers. 
224
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
225
 
226
       All: Specialized packaging.
227
 
228
    * Makefiles
229
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
230
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
231
      Eg:
232
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
233
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
234
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
235
      It could also have been written as:
236
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
237
      but NOT as:
238
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
239
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
240
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
241
 
242
    * Utility: sandbox
243
      Subcommand info 
244
        - Added option to test fingerprints
245
        - Display status in a column for easy reading
246

------------------------------------------------------------------------
250
 
251
Minor changes:
252
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
253
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
254
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
255
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
256
 
257
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
258
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
259
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
260
 
261
    * GenerateFiles directive
262
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
263
 
264
    * Utility: sandbox
265
      Added a 'fingerprint' command to manipulate packages fingerprints.
266
 
267
      Sped up the location of build files. The results are cached and 
268
      recalulated if the user adds or removes packages from the sandbox.
269
 
270
Internal changes:
271
    * Centralizing build platform information.

281
 
282
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
283
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
284
 
285
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
286
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
287
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
288
      machine may build the toolset.
289
 
290
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
291
      platform.
292
 
293
------------------------------------------------------------------------
294
Version:  3.12.8000.cr                              Released: 07-Feb-17

305
 
306
Minor changes:
307
    * Build Processing
308
      Removed processing of CVS change log and associated command line options
309
      It is not used.
310
 
311
      Tweaks to the calculation of the TOOLSET alias to allow it to work when
312
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
313
 
314
    * Utility: escrow
315
      Added -skim option
316
 
317
    * Utility: sandbox
318
      Many improvements:
319
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
320
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
321
 
322
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
323
 
324
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
325
        if an error is detected.
326
 
327
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
328
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
329
 
330
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
331
        skipped during the build.
332
 
333
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.
334
 
335

341
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
342
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
343
 
344
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
345
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.
346

    * EnvVars
1251
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
1252
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
1253
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
1254
 
1255
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1256
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
1257
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
1258
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
1259
 
1260
    * Jats caching
1261
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
1262
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

1286
Minor changes:
1287
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
1288
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1289
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1290
 
1291
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1292
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1293
 
1294
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
1295
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
1296
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
1297
 
1298
    * Jats Internal: Database access

Minor changes:
1586
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1587
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1588
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1589
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1590
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1591
 
1592
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1593
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

1603
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1604
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1605
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1606
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1607
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1608
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1609
 
1610
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1611
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
1612
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
1613
 
1614

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1620
Major changes:
1621
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1622
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1623
      intended to build deployed software.
1624
 
1625
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1626
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1627
 
1628
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1629
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1630
 
1631
Minor changes:
1632
    * Jats wrapper script
1633
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1634
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1635
      Subversion instance of the command.
1636
 
1637
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1638
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1639
 
1640
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1641
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
1642

    * Utility: jats upddep
1644
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
1645
      file under windows.
1646
 
1647
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1648
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1649
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1650
 
1651
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1652
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1653
 
1654
    * GCC Toolchain
1655
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1671
Major changes:
1672
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1673
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1674
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1675
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1676
 
1677
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1678
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1688
Minor changes:
1689
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1690
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1691
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1692
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1693
      line.
1694
 
1695
    * Jats Configuration
1696
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1697
 
1698
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1699
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1700
      and Linux.
1701
 
1702
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1703
      correctly rippled.

    * Jats Core
1712
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1713
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1714
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1715
 
1716
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1717
      Used only by the build daemons.
1718
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1719
 
1720
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1721
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports

Major changes:
1728
 
1729
Minor changes:
1730
    * svnrelease utility
1731
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1732
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1733
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1734
 
1735
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1736
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1737
      the named tag.
1738
 
1739
    * svnrelease utility
1740
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1741
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1753
 
1754
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1755
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1756
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1757
 
1758
    * ALL Toolsets
1759
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1760
 
1761
    * Utility vcsdiff
1762
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1763
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
1764
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

1779
    * Subversion Support
1780
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1781
      showing the user what to do.
1782
 
1783
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1784
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1785
      we have build support for this target.
1786
 
1787
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1788
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.

      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1813
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1814
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1815
      of warnings.

2429 dpurdie 1826
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1827
Major changes:
1828
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1829
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1830
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1831
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1832
 
1833
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1834
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1835
      windows path scheme.
1836
 
1837
Minor changes:
1838
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1839
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1840
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1841
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1842
 
1843
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1844
        jats make clobber
1845
      This operates as before.
1846
 
1847
    * Utility: escrow
1848
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1849
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1850
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1851
 
1852
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1853
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1854
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1855
 
1856
    * Utility: svn : url
1857
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1858
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1859
 
1860
    * Utility: svn : import
1861
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1862
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1863
 
1864
    * Subversion Support
1865
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1866
      showing the user what to do.
1867
 
1868
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1869
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1870
      repositories.

1875
 
1876
Minor changes:
1877
    * Jats build
1878
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1879
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1880
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1881
 
1882
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1883
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 1884

1906
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1907
      Modified two options:
1908
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1909
                        The named branch must not exist
1910
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1911
                        The named branch must exist
1912
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2002
    * Utility: svnrelease
2003
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2004
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2005
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2006
 
2007
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2008
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2009
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2010
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2011
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2012

2021
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2022
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2023
      sandbox.
2024
 
2025

2116
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2117
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2118
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2119
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2120
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2121

2138
    * Utility ccrelease
2139
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2140
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2141
 
2142

Major changes:
2173
 
2174
Minor changes:
2175
    * Command: jats clobber
2176
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2177
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2178
 
2179
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2180
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2181
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2182
 
2183
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2184
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2185
 
377 dpurdie 2186
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2187
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2188
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2189
 
2190
    * jats svnlabel
2191
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2192
 
2193
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2194
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2195
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2196
 
2197
    * Built Daemon support
2198
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2199
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches

2206
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2207
      New methodology is:
2208
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2209
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2210
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2211
        as the main binary.
2212
 
2213
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2214
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2215
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2216
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2217
      both worlds.
2218
 
2219

    * HTML Help
2351
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
2352
 
2353
    * jats build -noforce
2354
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
2355
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
2356
      be forced.
2357
 
2358
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
2359
 
2360
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2361
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
2362
 
2363
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
2364
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
2365
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
2366
 
2367
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
2368
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
2369
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
2370
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
2371

    * Utility: svnrelease
2373
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
2374
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
2375
 
2376
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
2377
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
2378
 
2379
    * Utility: svn
2380
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
2381
      installed and can be used.
2382
 
2383
    * Toolset: CSharp
2384
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
2385
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
2386
      character.
2387
 
2388
    * Toolset: SunWorks
2389
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
2390
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
2391
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
2392
      masking an error.
2393
 
2394
    * Toolset: Delphi7
2395
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
2396
      enhancement.

2403
        - Return correct path to package
2404
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
2405
 
2406
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
2407
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
2408
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
2409
 
2410
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
2411
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
2412
      packages.
2413
 
2414
    * make command: show
2415
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
2416
      'jats make show' command.
2417
 
2418
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2419
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
2420
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
2421
 
2422
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
2423
      executed on Unix machines.

    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
2461
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
2462
 
2463
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
2464
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing

2608
 
2609
    * makefile.pl directives
2610
      Corrects and extended the operation of the platform-specifier.
2611
      All non-platform options must be true, while the platform names are
2612
      treated as before - any of them may be true. See MASS-00166 for full
2613
      details.

    * Jats Sandbox operation
2626
      Don't remove .RUL files in sandbox testing of the build files
2627
 
2628
    * Jats MakeProject directive
2629
      Added --TargetDebug= and --TargetProd=  to allow the default target
2630
      of the project builds to be specified.
2631
 
2632
      Can be used in all targets that use a Visual Studio project or solution
2633
      to build a package.
2634
 
2635
    * MergeLibrary directive
2636
      New sub-option --InterfacePlain
2637
      This will allow the use of 3rd party libraries that do not have a P or D
2638
      suffix in the library name.
2639
 
2640
    * GenerateFiles directive
2641
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
2642
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
2643
 
2644
    * BuildPlatform
2645
      New option: --NoToolSet
2646
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
2647
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
2648
 
2649
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
2650
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
2651
      need toolset specific information.
2652
 
2653
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
2654
 
2655
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
2659
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
2660
      processing into jats.pl
2661
 
2662
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
2663
      a ClearCase site.

2766
      resulting in multiple builds.
2767
 
2768
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
2769
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
2770
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
2771
 
2772

2773
 
2774
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2775
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and

Minor changes:
2784
    * Jats label command
2785
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2786
      Not recommended for general use.
2787
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2788
      directories within the current view.
2789
 
2790
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2791
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2792
      elsewhere.
2793
 
2794
    * Jats save_build
2795
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2796
      the determination of a branch.
2797
 
2798
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2799
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2800
 
2801
    * Jats build
2802
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2803
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2804
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2805
 
2806
    * Borland6 toolset
2807
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2808
      to match the documented install location of:
2809
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2810
 
2811
    * Jats build
2812
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2813
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2814
      This is a very quick operation.
2815
 
2816
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2817
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2818
 
2819
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2820
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2821
      files are only recreated if need be.
2822
 
2823
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2824
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2825
      make the package.
2826
 
2827
    * Jats sandbox
2828
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2829
 
2830
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2831
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2832
 
2833
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2834
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2835
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2836
      is performed.
2837
 
2838

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2876
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2877
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2878
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2879
 
2880
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2881
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2882
 
2883
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2884
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2885
      platform builds.
2886
 
2887
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in

      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2889
      directory tree.
2890

2905
Major changes:
2906
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2907
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2908
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2909
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2910
 
2911
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2912
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2913
 
2914
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2915
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2916
 
2917
      Examples:
2918
            jats upddep -show
2919
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2920
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2921
 
2922
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2923
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2924
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2925
 
2926
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2927
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2928
 
2929
Minor changes:
2930

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2938
Major changes:
2939
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2940
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2941
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2942
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2943
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2944
      stream.
2945
 
2946
      Example:
2947
 
2948
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2949
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2950
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2951
                     );
2952
Minor changes:
2953
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2954
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2955
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2956
      directive.
2957
 
2958
    * GCC Toolkit
2959
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2960
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2961
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2962
      the point of termination.
2963
 
2964
    * Jats save_build utility
2965
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2966
      under windows.
2967
 
2968
    * Jats sandbox
2969
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2970
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2971
      in different sandboxes.
2972
 
2973
    * Jats release
2974
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

      directory.
2986
 
2987
    * jats label utility
2988
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2989
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2990
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2991
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2992
 
2993
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

3000
Minor changes:
3001
    * WinCe Toolsets
3002
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3003
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3004
        noExceptions            - Disable
3005
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3006
      Example:
3007
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3008
 
3009
    * Solaris targets
3010
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3011
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3012
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3013
      machine type.

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3017
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3018
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3019
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3020
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3021
      project files.
3022
 
3023
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3024
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3025
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3026
 
3027
Minor changes:
3028
    * Added more internal documentation
3029
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3030
 
3031
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3032
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3033
 
3034
    * Jats save_build utility
3035
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3036
      under windows.
3037
 
3038
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3039
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3040
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3041
      libraries.
3042
 
3043
    * Solaris builds
3044
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3045
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3046
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3047
      of the build failure.
3048
 
3049
 
3050
Internal changes:
3051
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3052
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3053
 
3054
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3055
      PkgArchive topics.

3059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3060
Major changes:
3061
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3062
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3063
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3064
      existing 32-bit builds.
3065
 
3066
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3067
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3068
 
3069
Minor changes:
3070
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3071
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3072
 
3073
    * Package searching
3074
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3075
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3076
 
3077
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3078
 
3079
    * jats help
3080
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3081
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3082
 
3083
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3084
      with one of:
3085
        jats -h
3086
        jats help jats
3087
 
3088
Internal:
3089
    * cmdfile utility
3090
      Added macros:
3091
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3092
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3093
 
3094
      Corrected
3095
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3096
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3097
 
3098
      Extended
3099
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3100
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3101
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3102
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

3109
Minor changes:
3110
 
3111
Internal changes
3112
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3113
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3114
      Useful side effects include:
3115
 
3116
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3117
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3118
 
3119
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3120
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3121
 
3122
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3123
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3124
        BuildPkgArchive
3125
 
313 dpurdie 3126
    * Perl Modules
3127
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3128
      release. This will:
3129
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3130
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3131
          reported by ERG.
3132
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
3140
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3141
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3142
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3143
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3144
 
3145
    * Jats label utility
3146
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3147
 
3148
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3149
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3150
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3151
 
3152
    * Jats core
3153
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3154
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3155
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3164
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3165
      This is now fixed.
3166
 
309 dpurdie 3167
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3168
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3169
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3170
 
3171
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3172
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
3181
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3182
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3183
      an error.
3184
 
3185
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3186
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3187
 
3188
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3189
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3195
Major changes:
3196
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3197
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3198
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3199
 
3200
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3201
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3202
 
3203
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3204
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3205
      Support includes
3206
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3207
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3208
 
3209
Minor changes:
3210
    * Build file processing
3211
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3212
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3213
 
3214
    * MOS builds
3215
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3216
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3217
 
3218
    * MOS builds
3219
      New 'known' product: PICP
3220
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3221
 
3222
    * GenerateFiles directive
3223
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3224
        under windows.
3225
 
3226
        .
3227
 
3228
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3229
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3230
 
3231
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3232
      to the output stream.
3233
 
3234
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3235
 
3236
    * Windows Shell
3237
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3238
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3239
 
3240
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3241
 
3242
    * H8S toolset
3243
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3244
 
3245
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3246
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3247
 
3248
Internal changes
3249
    * WinCe builds
3250
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3251
      content of the file.
3252
 
3253
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3254
 
3255
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3256
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

Major changes:
3269
 
3270
Minor changes:
3271
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3272
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3273
      Changes are transparent to users.
3274
 
3275
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3276
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3277
      this occurs.
3278
 
3279
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3280
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3281
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3282
      automated build framework.
3283
 
3284
    * jats sandbox command
3285
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3286
      'create' command.
3287
 
3288
    * jats command aliases. Added
3289
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3290
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3295
Major changes:
3296
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3297
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3298
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3299
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3300
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3301
      will work as expected
3302
 
3303
Minor changes:
3304
    * VS2008 Toolset
3305
      Picking up incorrect config details
3306
      May result in a warning message.
3307
 
3308
    * gen_cots utility
3309
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3310
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3311
 
3312
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3313
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
3314
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

3361
Major changes:
3362
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
3363
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
3364
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
3365
 
3366
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
3367
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
3368
 
3369
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
3370
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
3371
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
3372
           names cannot be changed.
3373
 
3374
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
3375
           artifacts is very simplistic.
3376
 
3377
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
3378
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
3379
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
3380
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
3381
 
3382
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
3383
      file.
3384
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
3385
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
3386
      MyPackage.dpk.
3387
 
3388
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
3389
      file.
3390
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
3391
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
3392
      MyDll.dpr.
3393
 
3394
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
3395
      file.
3396
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
3397
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
3398
      MyProg.dpr.
3399
 
3400
Minor changes:
3401
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
3402
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
3403
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
3404
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
3405
 
3406
    * BuildVersion directive
3407
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
3408
      in a Delphi Unit.
3409
 
3410
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
3411
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
3412
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
3413
      'know' the location of the files.
3414
 
3415
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
3416
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
3417
 
3418
Internal Changes:
3419
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
3420
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
3421
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
3422
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
3423
 
3424
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
3425
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
3426
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

3430
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3431
Major changes:
3432
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
3433
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
3434
      information for purely C++ builds.
3435
 
289 dpurdie 3436
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
3437
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 3438
 
289 dpurdie 3439
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
3440
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
3441
            Manager
287 dpurdie 3442
 
3443
Minor changes:
3444
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

3446
 
3447
    * updatenodespec utility
3448
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
3449

3486
    * New command: jats make show
3487
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
3488
      used in the build.
3489
 
3490
    * Escrow command
3491
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
3492
 
3493
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
3494
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3495
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3496
 
3497
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3498
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

277 dpurdie 3502
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3503
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3504
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3505
 
279 dpurdie 3506
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3507
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3508
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3509
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3510
 
3511
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3512
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3513
 
3514
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3515
 
3516
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3517
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3518
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3519
 
3520
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3521
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3522
        processed.
3523
 
3524
      Removed the '-delete' option
3525
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3526
 
277 dpurdie 3527
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3528
    * Sandbox command
3529
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3530
 
3531
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3532
      target from consideration in the build set.
3533
 
3534
    * MCR Toolset
3535
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3536
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3537
 
3538
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3539
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3540
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3541
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3542
 
3543
    * Jats run_test command
3544
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3545
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3546
 
3547
    * descpkg file
3548
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3549
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3550
 
3551
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3552
     Now contains build trace information
3553
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3554
 
3555
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3556
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3557
     it contains 'jar' files.
3558
 
3559
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3560
 
3561
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3562
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3563
 
3564
   * BuildVersion directive
3565
     Form:
3566
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3567
     now works as expected.
3568
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3569
 
3570
Internal Changes:
3571
 
3572
    * Error reporting mechanism
3573
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
3574
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
3575
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

3587
    then starts.
3588
 
3589
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3590
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
3591
 
3592
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
3593
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3594
    non-platform option.
3595
 
279 dpurdie 3596
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

        CopyDir can, if asked, returns an array of files copied
3661
        Wildcard correctly supports the [0-9] construct
3662
 
3663
Internal Changes:
3664
    * Environment
3665
      Export EnvVar GBE_HOSTMACH
3666
      This is the same as GBE_MACHTYPE, but it is not modified by legacy

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
3735
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3736
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3737
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
3751
 
3752
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
3753
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
3754
 
3755
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
3756
      New options:
3757
        no_define_source_file
3758
        define_source_file              (Default)
3759
 
3760
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3761
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3762
 
3763
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
3764
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
3765
      compatibility.
3766
 
3767
    * Jats directives: MakeProject
3768
      Now supports the following new options:
3769

3770
            --InstallProgProd=list
3771
            --InstallProg=list
3772
 
3773
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
3774
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as

4013
         Support extends to allow:
4014
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4015
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4016
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4017
 
4018
        VS2005
4019
         Support extends to allow:
4020
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4021
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4022
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4023
 
4024
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4025
      through a version selector:
4026
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4027
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4028
 
4029
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4030
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4031
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4032
 
4033
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4034
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4035
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4036
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4037
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4038
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4039
          under VS2005.
4040
 
4041
Minor changes:
4042
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

4050
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4051
 
4052
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4053
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4054
 
4055
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4056
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4057
      a minimal value of perl.
4058
 
4059
      Removed excessive require statements.
4060

4065
        2) Linux
4066
 
4067
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4068
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4069
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4070
      machines.
4071
 
4072
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4073

4077
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4078
 
4079
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4080
      wrapper scripts.
4081
 
4082
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4083
      Correct problem with location of build files.

4156
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4157
    supported for ANT builds.
4158
 
4159
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4160
        releasemanager.releasename
4161
        releasemanager.projectname
4162
 
4163
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4164
    tagged data item of the form
4165
 
4166
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4167
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4168
 
4169
  * Mug File Generation
4170
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4171
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4172
 
4173
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4174
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4175
    required.
4176
 
4177
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4178
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4179
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4180
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4181
    the files in order to use them.
4182
 
4183
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4184
    locate the file.
4185
 
4186
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4187
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4188
 
4189
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4190
        * CSharp
4191
        * Properties
4192
        * WinRC
4193
 
4194
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4195
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4196
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4197
    Value is correctly assigned.

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4201
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4202
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4203
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4204
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4205
 
4206
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4207
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4208
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4209
 
4210
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4211
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4212
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4213
 
4214
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4215
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4216
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4217
 
4218
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4219
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4220
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4221
    correct.
4222
 
4223
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4224
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4225
 
4226
Minor changes:
4227
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4228
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4229
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4230
 
4231
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4232
    This will simplify new user setup.
4233
 
4234
  * All Unix Toolsets
4235
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4236
    on unix systems
4237
 
4238
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4239
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4240
    on some Solaris Machines.
4241
 
4242
  * JATS -version=<version>
4243
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4244
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4245
 
4246

    * New platform: WCEPSION_500_emu [DEVI-047234]
245 dpurdie 4251
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 4252
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
4253
 
4254
Minor changes:
4255
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
4256
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
4257
 
4258
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
4259
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets
4260
 
4261
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
4262
      Does not work with LMOS
4263
 
4264
    * Readme.txt file
4265
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
4266
 
4267
    * Misc Cleanup
4268
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats
4269
      Move PostInstall script into the BUILD directory.

  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
4276
    Force compiler option -nOj
4277
    The default compiler option (-Oj) has been seen to cause problems with some
4278
    code. Problem reported/analysed by rparker and thunter.

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
4287
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
4288
 
4289
  * JATS builds
4290
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
4291
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
4292
    mode.
4293
 
4294
  * JATS makefiles
4295
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
4296
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
4297
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
4298
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4299
                            SetList directive.
4300
 
4301
    ie: AddSrcDir ('--Project=sls' , 'sls' );

        --PackageToolProd=xxx
4308
        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
4309
 
4310
  * JATS buildfile processing
4311
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
4312
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
4313
    of JATS.
4314
 
4315
  * JATS save_build utility
4316
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
4317
    which may be reserved.
4318
 
4319

4320
    Correctly labels directories up to the VOB root.
4321
    Displays the correct 'Source Path' in the Release Manager Information.
4322
    Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only
4323
 
4324
  * JATS sandbox (experimental)
4325
    Ensure the AutoBuildTool does not use any sandbox
4326
 
4327

4333
 
4334
    * Escrow tool
4335
      Creates a simple HTML file that details all the packages with a short
4336
      description.

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
4345
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
4346
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
4347
 
4348
    * MOS Toolset
4349
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
4350
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
4351
 
4352
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
4353
      can have production (PIC) components.
4354

4360
 
4361
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
4362
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
4363
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
4364
      Previously only worked on Windows

    * New Toolset: BORLAND
4390
      The toolset uses the Borland C++ Builder 6 to build Borland Project
4391
      files via the MakeProject directive.
231 dpurdie 4392
 
235 dpurdie 4393
      In this release there is no support for native compilation and linking.

    * Extract/Release utility.
4399
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
4400
      that can handle spaces
4401
 
4402
    * MOS Compiler
4403
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
4404
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
4405
 
4406
    * Utility: create_dpkg
4407
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
4408
      descpkg files to be copied.
4409
 
4410
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
4411
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 4426
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
4427
 
4428
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
4429
      <project> field.
4430
 
4431
    * CCdiff utility
4432
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
4433
 
4434
    * Escrow utility
4435
      Quote 'path' in the generated extraction commands
4436

Major changes:
4444
 
4445
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 4446
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
4447
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
4448
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
4449
 
4450
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4451
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
4452
 
4453
    * Jats wrapper
4454
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
4455
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
4456

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4460
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 4461
    * Jats Release Mechanism
4462
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
4463
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
4464
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
4465
 
4466
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
4467
 
4468
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
4469
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
4470
 
4471
    * Running Jats
4472
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
4473
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
4474
      This may affect some windows developers.
4475
 
4476
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
4477
      Future versions will generate an error.
4478
 
4479
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
4480
 
4481
Minor changes:
4482
    * Perl Version Check
4483
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
4484
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
4485
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
4486
 
4487
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
4488
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
4489
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
4490
      build.
4491
 
4492
    * Jats Internals
4493
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4494
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4495
 
4496
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4497
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4498
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4499
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4500
      process.
4501
 
4502
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4503
      Only works under Windows.
4504
 
4505
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4506
 
4507
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4508
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4509
 
4510
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4511
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4512
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4513
 
4514
    * Jats eprog
4515
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4516
      directory.
4517
 
4518
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4519
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4520
      build metrics.
4521

Major changes:
4526
 
4527
Minor changes:
4528
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4529
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4530
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4531
      automated build system. New options are:
4532
        -pname=Package_Name
4533
        -pversion=Package_Version
4534
 
4535
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4536
      transferring the package. New options are:
4537
        -test
4538
 
4539
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4540
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4541
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4542
 
4543
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4544
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4545
 
4546
    * Solaris Toolset
4547
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4548
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4549
      programs are still supported.

    * WINCE toolsets
4558
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4559
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4560
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4561
      when header files cannot be found.
4562
 
4563
    * GenerateFiles directive
4564
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4565
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4566
      that are difficult to solve.
4567
 
4568
    * MakePerlModule directive
4569
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4570
      to the the module builder.
4571
 
4572
    * Jats Tool: label
4573
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4574
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4575
      -dirs=xxx options.
4576
 
4577
    * Jats Tool: release
4578
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4579
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4580
 
4581
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4582
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4583
 
4584
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4585
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4586
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4587
 
4588
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4619
 
4620
    * jats release utility
4621
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4622

    * Makefile generation
4635
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4636
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4637
      generate phase early.

4643
 
4644
Minor changes:
4645
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4646
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4647
 
4648
    * Makefile generation
4649
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4650
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4651
 
4652
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4653
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4654
 
4655
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4656
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4657
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4658
 
4659
    * jats_rewrite utility
4660
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4661
 
4662
    * jats escrow utility
4663
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4664
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4665
 
4666
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4667
      inconsistent packages.
4668
 
4669
    * jats make help
4670
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4671
      available within the current build.
4672
 
4673
    * jats makefiles
4674
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4675
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4676
 
4677
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4678
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4679
 
4680
    * gcc toolset
4681
      SharedLibries.
4682
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4683
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4684
 
4685
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4686
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4687
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4688
 
4689
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4690
        New options:
4691
            --MultiScan
4692
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4693
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4694
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4700
Major changes:
4701
 
4702
Minor changes:
4703
    PackageLib directive
4704
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4705
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4706
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4707
 
4708
    MakefileGenerate directive
4709
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4710
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4711
 
4712
    Multiple Parent detection
4713
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4714
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4715
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4716
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4717
 
4718
    Solaris Toolset
4719
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4720
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4721
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4722
    link.
4723
 
4724
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4725
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4726
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4727
 
4728
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4729
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4730
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4731
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4736
Major changes:
4737
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4738
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4739
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4740
 
4741
    Summary of changes:
4742
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4743
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4744
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4745
          flexibility.
4746
 
4747
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4748
 
4749
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4750
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4751
          interface directory and associated build information.
4752
 
4753
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4754
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4755
          than one second.
4756
 
4757
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4758
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4759
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4760
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4761
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4762
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4763
 
4764
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4765
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4766
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4767
 
4768
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4769
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4770
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4771
          building them.
4772
 
4773
        - Detection of build file changes
4774
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4775
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4776
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4777
 
4778
        - Quieter make output
4779
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4780
 
4781
 
4782
Minor changes:
4783
    MakeAnt Directive
4784
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4785
 
4786
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4787
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4788
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4789
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4790
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4791
 
4792
    CSHARP toolset
4793
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4794

4801
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4802
    are generated.
4803
 
4804
    MakeAnt
4805
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4806
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4807
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4808
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4809
 
4810
    MCR platform
4811
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

Minor changes:
4820
    MakeAnt directive extended
4821
    New option: --PackageBase
4822
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4823
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4824
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4825
 
4826
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4827
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4828
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4829
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4849
 
4850
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4851
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4852
 
4853
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4854
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4855
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4856
 
4857
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4858
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4859
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4860
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4889
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4890
 
4891
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4892
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4893
      last.
4894
 
4895
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4896
 
4897
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4898
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4899
 
4900
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4901
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4902
 
4903
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4904
 
4905
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4906
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4907
 
4908
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4909
 
4910
 
4911
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4912
           with the --System option
4913
 
4914
    * LMOS target platform

4925
      dependent packages.
4926
 
4927
    * RunTest operation
4928
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4929
 
4930

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4936
Major changes:
4937
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4938
 
4939
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4940
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4941
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4942
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4943
      path.
4944
 
4945
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4946
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4947
      reproducible.
4948
 
4949
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4950
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4951
 
4952
      There are several aspects to the change
4953
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4954
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4955
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4956
 
4957
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4958
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4959
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4960
          controlled separately.
4961
 
4962
Minor changes:
4963
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4964
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4965
        Remove duplicates
4966
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4967

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
4970
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4971
Major changes:
4972
 
4973
Minor changes:
4974
    * Makefile sanity test
4975
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4976
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4977
 
4978
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4979
      x86 machine.
4980
 
4981
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4982
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4983
 
4984
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4985
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4986
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4987
Major changes:
4988
    * RunTest directive
4989
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4990
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4991
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4992
 
4993
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4994
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4995
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4996
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4997
 
4998
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4999
        builder within the current toolset.
5000
 
5001
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5002
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5003
 
5004
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5005
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5006
      containing the RunTest directive.
5007
 
5008
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5009
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5010
 
5011
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5012
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5013
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5014
 
5015
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5016
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5017
                            P or D suffix.
5018
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5019
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5020
 
5021
Minor changes:
5022
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5023
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5024
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5025
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5026
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5027
 
5028
    * Save Build Utility
5029
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5030
      used in a ripple build.
5031
 
5032
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5033
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5034
 
5035
    * Release Utility
5036
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5037
      when an error is encountered.
5038
 
5039
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5040
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5041
 
5042
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5043
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5044
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5045
 
5046
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5047
      before the makefiles are created.
5048
 
5049
    * TestProg directive
5050
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5051
 
5052
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5053
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5054

5056
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
5057
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5058
Major changes:
5059
    * New build target
5060
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5061
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5062
 
5063
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5064
            DEVLINUX
5065
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5066
 
5067
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5068
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5069
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5070
 
5071
Minor changes:
5072
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5073
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5074
 
5075
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5076
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5077
 
5078
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5079
      and .cs files.
5080
 
5081
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5082
      thing.
5083
 
5084
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5085
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5086
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5087
      were it places temp files.
5088
 
5089
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5090
      interaction with other builds.
5091
 
5092
    * Release utility command
5093
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5094
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5095
      component in the clearcase tag name.
5096

5106
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
5107
    libraries
5108
 
5109
Minor changes:
5110
  * Unit Tests
5111
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
5112
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5113
 
5114
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
5115
    as a Script.

Minor changes:
5146
  * WINCE Support
5147
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5148
 
5149
  * Removed the following targets
5150
        TP5600
5151
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5152
        TP5600_EMU
5153
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5154
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5155
 
5156
  * Deployment
5157
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5158
 
5159
  * build.pl
5160
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5161
 
5162
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5163
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5164
 
5165
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5166
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5167
    build.
5168
 
5169
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5170
 
5171
  * Tool: escrow
5172
     New features
5173
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5174
     are not in the SBOM.
5175
 
5176
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5177
 
5178
     Specify packages to be ignored.

5182
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5184
Major changes:
5185
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5186
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5187
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5188
 
5189
  * GenerateFiles
5190
    Added the options:
5191
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5192
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5193
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5194
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5195
 
5196
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5197
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5198
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5199
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5200
                                  required.
5201
 
5202
 
5203
Minor changes:
5204
  * GenerateFile directive
5205
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5206
 
5207
  * GCC Toolset
5208
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5209
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5210
    be rebuilt.
5211
 
5212
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5213
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5214
 
5215
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5216
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5217
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5218
Major changes:
5219
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5220
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5221
    environment variables.
5222
 
5223
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5224
            moved.
5225
 
5226
    This will affect users that:
5227
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5228
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5229
 
5230
        2) Use the ABT system
5231
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5232
           the required configuration
5233
 
5234
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5235
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5236
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5237
    Windows
5238
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5239
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5240
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5241
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5242
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5243
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5244
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5245
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5246
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5247
 
5248
 
5249
  * New build platforms
5250
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5251
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5252
 
5253
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5254
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5255
 
5256
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5257
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5258
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5259
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5260
 
5261
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5262
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5263
    release.
5264
 
5265
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5266
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5267
 
5268
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5269
    need to be converted.
5270
 
5271
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5272
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5273
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5274
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5275
    used for different targets platforms.
5276
 
5277
  * Sandbox support
5278
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5279
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5280
 
5281
    New command: jats sandbox ...
5282
 
5283
Minor changes:
5284
 
5285
 
5286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5287
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5288
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5289
Major changes:
5290
  * MakeAnt directive
5291
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5292
 
5293
    New options
5294
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5295
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5296
 
5297
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5298
    run_unit_tests phase.
5299
 
5300
  * Sandbox support
5301
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5302
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5303
 
5304
Minor changes:
5305
  * jats build
5306
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5307
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5308
 
5309
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5310
 
5311
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5312
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5313
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5314
 
5315
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5316
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5317
 
5318
  * JATS.BAT
5319
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5320
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5321
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5322
 
5323
  * jats label
5324
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5325

5327
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
5328
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5329
Major changes:
5330
  * New build platform:
5331
        LMOS_TP5600
5332
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5333
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5334
 
5335
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
5336
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
5337
    describe the group of platforms.
5338
 
5339
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5340
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
5341
    build these targets.
5342
 
5343
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
5344
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
5345
 
5346
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
5347
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
5348
 
5349
  * New build platform: WINCE
5350
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
5351
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
5352
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
5353
 
5354
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
5355
            WCEIT3000
5356
            WCEPA961
5357
            WCEPA962
5358
            WCEPCM7220
5359
            WCEPSION_420
5360
            WCEPSPC_arm
5361
            WCEPSPC_emu
5362
            WCEX86A420
5363
            WCEX86A500
5364
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
5365
 
5366
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
5367
 
5368
 *  JATS makefile.pl
5369
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
5370
    that contain packaging directives.
5371
 
5372
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
5373
    very unusual configurations.
5374
 
5375
Minor changes:
5376
  * Directive: PackageFile
5377
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
5378
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
5379
    an '='.
5380
 
5381
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
5382
    of "--Subdir=etc".
5383
 
5384
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
5385
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
5386
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
5387
 
5388
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
5389
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
5390
 
5391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5392
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
5393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5394
Major changes:
5395
 
5396
  * JATS release command
5397
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
5398
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
5399
 
5400
    Rules are:
5401
        Modify a file:      File will branch
5402
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
5403
                            File will be placed on a branch
5404
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
5405
                            New directory will branch
5406
 
5407
Minor changes:
5408
  * JATS release command
5409
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
5410
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
5411
 
5412
  * JATS label command
5413
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
5414
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
5415
 
5416
  * JATS make
5417
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
5418
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
5419
    was re-packaged.
5420
 
5421
  * JATS escrow
5422
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
5423
    Use jats escrow -help for details
5424
 
5425
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
5426
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
5427
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
5428
 
5429
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
5430
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
5431
    interface directory.
5432
 
5433
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
5434
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
5435
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
5436
    directory as seen by the package.
5437
 
5438
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
5439
 
5440
  * JAVA 6
5441
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
5442
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
5443
 
5444
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
5445
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
5446
 
5447
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
5448
 
5449
  * Jats command: vars
5450
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
5451
    These indicate potential problems.
5452
 
5453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5454
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
5455
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5456
Major changes:
5457
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
5458
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
5459
    libarry is also created.
5460
 
5461
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
5462
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
5463
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
5464
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
5465
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
5466
    information contained within the file.
5467
 
5468
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
5469
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
5470
 
5471
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
5472
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
5473
 
5474
  * Building Perl Modules
5475
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
5476
    documentation on the build machine.
5477
 
5478
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
5479
 
5480
Minor changes:
5481
  * jats create_dpkg
5482
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
5483
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
5484
 
5485
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5486
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
5487
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5488
Major changes:
5489
  * JATS JAVA build target
5490
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
5491
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5492
 
5493
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5494
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5495
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5496
    is then picked up as the default version.
5497
 
5498
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5499
    build.pl file.
5500
 
5501
Minor changes:
5502
  * jats release
5503
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5504
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5505
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5506
 
5507
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5508
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5509
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5510
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5511
    the name of the view.
5512
 
5513
  * GenerateFiles directive
5514
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5515
 
5516
  * MOS Toolset
5517
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5518
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5519
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5520
 
5521
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5522
 
5523
 
5524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5525
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5527
Major changes:
5528
 
5529
Minor changes:
5530
  * JATS environment
5531
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5532
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5533
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5534
 
5535
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5536
 
5537
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5538
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5539
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5540
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5541
    to be packaged.
5542
 
5543
  * Generated makefiles
5544
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5545
 
5546
  * Generating MOS THX files
5547
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5548
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5549
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5550
 
5551
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5552
 
5553
  * JATS release
5554
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5555
 
5556
  * JATS extract
5557
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5558
 
5559
  * JATS Toolset
5560
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5561
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5562
 
5563
 
5564
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5565
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5566
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5567
Major changes:
5568
 
5569
Minor changes:
5570
  * jats label
5571
    Added a -vob=name option
5572
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5573
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5574
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5575
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5576
 
5577
    Added a -user=name option
5578
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5579
    label to the named user.
5580
 
5581
  * jats release
5582
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5583
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5584
 
5585
  * JATS build.pl
5586
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5587
    ie:
5588
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5589

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5592
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5593
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5594
Major changes:
5595
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5596
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5597
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5598
    the makefile internals. ie:
5599
        --Var(BuildName)
5600
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5601
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5602
 
5603
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5604
 
5605
  * GenerateFiles
5606
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5607
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5608
 
5609
  * BuildPlatforms
5610
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5611
 
5612
Minor changes:
5613
  * GCC Toolset
5614
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5615
 
5616
Internal changes:
5617
  * GenerateFiles
5618
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5619
 
5620
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5621
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5622
 
5623
 
5624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5625
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5627
Major changes:
5628
  * Caching JATS
5629
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5630
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5631
 
5632
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5633
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5634
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5635
 
5636
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5637
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5638
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5639
 
5640
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5641
 
5642
Minor changes:
5643
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5644
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5645
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5646
 
5647
  * jats build
5648
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5649
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5650
    processed by the build.
5651
 
5652
  * jats build
5653
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5654
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5655
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5656
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5657
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5658
 
5659
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5660
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5661
    Path is not specified.
5662
 
5663
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5664
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5665
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5666
        --Dir=$Pinc
5667
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5668
 
5669
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5670
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5671
    Windows platform.
5672
 
5673
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5674
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5675
            by 'purecov.
5676
 
5677
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5678
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5679
 
5680
        - OPTIONS=purify
5681
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5682
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5683
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5684

5687
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
5688
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5689
Major changes:
5690
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5691
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5692
    Example:
5693
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5694
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5695
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5696
 
5697
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5698
    been determined.
5699
 
5700
Minor changes:
5701
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5702
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5703
    located at build-time.
5704
 
5705
  * Unix based systems
5706
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5707
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5708
 
5709
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5710
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5711
    driver being built.
5712
 
5713
 
5714
------------------------------------------------------------------------

5717
Major changes:
5718
 
5719
 
5720
Minor changes:
5721
  * jats_rewrite tool
5722
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
5723
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
5724
 
5725
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
5726
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5727
 
5728
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
5729
    dependancy information within a package.
5730
 
5731
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5732
    messages.
5733
 
5734

    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5742
 
5743
    GenerateFiles.
5744
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5745
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5746
                      be run on every invocation.
5747
 
5748
 
5749
Minor changes:

5754
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5755
  There are two mechanism:
5756
 
5757
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5758
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5759
 
5760
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5761
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5762
 
5763
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5764
  default.
5765
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5766
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

5772
  * SunWorks Toolset
5773
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5774
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5775
    It is based on machine type.
5776
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5777
 
5778
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5779
 
5780

5807
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5808
 
5809
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5810
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5811
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5812
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5813
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5814
 
5815
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5816
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5817
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5818
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5819
 
5820
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5821
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

5834
 
5835
Minor changes:
5836
  * JATS wrapper script
5837
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5838
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5839
    to setup links to system programs.
5840

5862
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5863
        no_misalign         - Default
5864
 
5865
        multithread         - Default

5883
    Theses are:
5884
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5885
        SOLARIS_AMD
5886
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5887
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5888

Major changes:
5901
 
5902
Minor changes:
5903
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5904
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5905
    messages
5906
 
5907
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5908
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5909
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5910
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5911
 
5912
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5913
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06

5915
Major changes:
5916
 
5917
Minor changes:
5918
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5919
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5920
    library without creating the body of the library:
5921
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5922
 
5923
 
5924
  * MOS toolsets
5925
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5926
    library without creating the body of the library:
5927
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5928
 
5929
  * JATS BIN directories
5930
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5931
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5932
    using autoconf.
5933
 
5934
  * Generate directive
5935
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5936
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5937
 
5938
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5939
 
5940

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5942
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
5943
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5944
Major changes:
5945
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5946
    Initial release.
5947
 
5948
Minor changes:
5949

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5952
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
5953
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5954
Major changes:
5955
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5956
    Initial release.
5957
 
5958
  * Packaging directives
5959
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5960
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5961
 
5962
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5963
        SOLARIS
5964
        WIN32
5965
 
5966
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5967
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5968
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5969
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5970
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5971
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5972
 
5973
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5974
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5975
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5976
 
5977
 
5978
Minor changes:
5979
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5980
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5981
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5982
 
5983
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5984
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5985
    location
5986
 
5987
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5988
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5989
 
5990
  * Utility genrc
5991
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5992
 
5993
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5994
    Added option: -new
5995
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5996
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5997
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5998
 
5999
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6000
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6001
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6002
 
6003
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6004
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6005
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6006
 
6007
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6008
   features - in a uniform manner.
6009
 
6010
 
6011
Internal Changes:
6012
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6013
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6014
 
6015
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6016
        1) Platform information available at build time
6017
        2) Dynamic platform names
6018
 
6019
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6020
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6021
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6022
 
6023
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6024
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6025
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6026
 
6027
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6028
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6029
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6030
    needed.
6031
 
6032
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6033
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6034
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6035
    files from all of these.
6036
 
6037

6038
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6047
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6048
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6049
Major changes:
6050
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6051
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6052
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6053
 
6054
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6055
 
6056
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6057
    the operations.
6058
 
6059
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6060
 
6061
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6062
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6063
 
6064
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6065
 
6066
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6067
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6068
 
6069
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6070
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6071
    Extended the built-in help
6072
    Added useful error messages
6073
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6074
 
6075
  * WinCE toolset
6076
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6077
 
6078
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6079
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6080
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6081
 
6082
Minor changes:
6083
  * JATS wrapper script
6084
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6085
    the command line.
6086
 
6087
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6088
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6089
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6090
 
6091
Internal Changes:
6092
  * Common Error Reporting
6093
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6094
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6095
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6096
    level.
6097
 
6098
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6099
    displayed.
6100
 
6101
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6102
 
6103
  * Added JatsSystem module
6104
    Common code for accessing system commands

    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6140
    builds.
6141
 
6142
  * JATS Core
6143
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6144
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6145
    behaviour.
6146
 
6147
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6155
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6156
 
6157
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6158
 
6159
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6160
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6161
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6162
    packages.
6163
 
6164
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6165
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6166
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6167
 
6168
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6169
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6170
 
6171
Minor changes:
6172
  * SubDir directive
6173
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6174
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6175
 
6176
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6177
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6178
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6179
    of the file usage.
6180
 
6181
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6182
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6183
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6184
 
6185
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6186
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6187
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6188
 
6189
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6190
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6191
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6192
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6193
 
6194
 
6195
Internal Changes:
6196
  * Code refactor
6197
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6198
 
6199
  * Deployment utilities
6200
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6201
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6202
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6203
    the module can locate the file.
6204
 
6205
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6206
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6207
 
6208
  * JATS core
6209
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6210
 
6211
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6212
 
6213
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6214
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6215
    through the use of environment variables.
6216
 
6217
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6218
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6219
 
6220
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6221
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6222
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6223
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6224
 
6225
  * Make environment
6226
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6227
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6228
 
6229

6231
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6232
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6233
Major changes:
6234
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6235
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6236
 
6237

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6239
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6240
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6241
 
6242
Not Released.
6243
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6244
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6245
 
6246
 
6247
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6248
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6249
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6250
Major changes:
6251
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6252
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6253
    radically replaced.
6254
 
6255
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6256
    Usage:
6257
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6258
 
6259
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6260
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6261
    this solution:
6262
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6263
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6264
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6265
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6266
 
6267
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6268
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6269
    order to work.
6270
 
6271
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6272
    reduced functionality.
6273
 
6274
 
6275
Minor changes:
6276
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6277
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6278
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6279
 
6280
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6281
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6282
    within the makefiles.
6283
        Options:
6284
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6285
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6286
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6287
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6288
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6289
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6290
        Useage:
6291
 
6292
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6293
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6294
 
6295
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6296
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6297
    is not in the current directory.
6298
 
6299
  * Jats Command: ant'
6300
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6301
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6302
 
6303
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6304
 
6305
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6306
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6307
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6308
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6309
 
6310
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6311
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6312
    Thus
6313
 
6314
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6315
 
6316
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6317
 
6318

6320
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6321
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6322
Major changes:
6323
 
6324
Minor changes:
6325
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6326
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6327
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6328
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6329
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6330
 
6331
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6332
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6333
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6334
 
6335
Internal changes:
6336
  * JATS toolsets
6337
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6338
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6339
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6340
 
6341
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6342
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6343
 
6344
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6345
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6346
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6347
Major changes:
6348
  * Jats command: etool
6349
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6350
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6351
 
6352
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6353
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6354
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6355
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6356
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6357
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6358
 
6359
Minor changes:
6360
 
6361
 
6362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6363
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
6364
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6365
Major changes:
6366
  * JATS environment variables
6367
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
6368
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
6369
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
6370
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
6371
        will not publish packages in this repository.
6372
 
6373
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
6374
              Remote repository
6375
 
6376
    Added GBE_DPLY
6377
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
6378
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
6379
 
6380
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6381
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
6382
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
6383
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
6384
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
6385
 
6386
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
6387
    processed once and it will be processed last.
6388
 
6389
 
6390
Minor changes:
6391
  * JATS utility: build
6392
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
6393
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
6394
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
6395
 
6396
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
6397
    Ensure label is not locked
6398
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
6399
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
6400
 
6401
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
6402
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
6403
    to a specific type of build.
6404
 
6405
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
6406
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
6407
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
6408
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
6409
 
6410
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
6411
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
6412
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
6413
 
6414
  * JATS utility: release
6415
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
6416
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
6417
 
6418
  * JATS utility: label
6419
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
6420
    when it is being created.
6421
 
6422
Internal Changes
6423
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
6424
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
6425
 
6426
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
6427
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
6428
 
6429
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
6430
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
6431
    different results.
6432
 
6433
  * ToolsetRequire directive
6434
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
6435
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
6436
 
6437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6438
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
6439
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6440
Major changes:
6441
 
6442
  * MCR toolset
6443
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
6444
 
6445
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6446
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
6447
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6448
Major changes:
6449
  * WIN32 utilities
6450
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
6451
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
6452
 
6453
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
6454
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
6455
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
6456
 
6457
Minor changes:
6458
  * BuildVersion
6459
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
6460
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
6461
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
6462
 
6463
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
6464
 
6465
  * Unix Builds
6466
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
6467
    library or a shared library.
6468
 
6469
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
6470
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
6471
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
6472
    start with 'lib'.
6473
 
6474
  * BuildPkgArchive
6475
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
6476
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
6477
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
6478
 
6479
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6480
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
6481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6482
Major changes:
6483
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6484
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
6485
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
6486
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
6487
    being manually maintained.
6488
 
6489
 
6490
Minor changes:
6491
  * MakeAnt directive
6492
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
6493
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
6494
    supports ANT builds.
6495
 
6496
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6497
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
6498
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
6499
 
6500
  * Label utility
6501
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
6502
    files to be labeled.
6503
 
6504
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
6505
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
6506
    on Solaris.
6507
 
6508
  * Generated makefiles
6509
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
6510
    nothing.
6511
 
6512
  * MOS Toolset
6513
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
6514
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
6515
    modules.
6516
 
6517
  * Utility: gen_cots
6518
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
6519
    and then check it in under clearcase.
6520
 
6521
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
6522
 
6523
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
6524
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
6525
 
6526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6527
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
6528
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6529
Major changes:
6530
  None
6531
 
6532
Minor changes:
6533
  * DEVI addressed
6534
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6535
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6536
 
6537
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6538
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6539
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6540
 
6541
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6542
 
6543
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6544
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6545
 
6546
  * RunTest directive
6547
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6548
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6549
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6550
 
6551
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6552
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6553
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6554
    packaged under JATS
6555
 
6556
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6557
          supported within JATS.
6558
 
6559
  * Jats utility wrapper
6560
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6561
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6562
 
6563
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6564
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6565
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6566
 
6567
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6568
    Eg: jats ant
6569
 
6570
  * Jats utility wrapper
6571
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6572
 
5710 dpurdie 6573
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6574
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6575
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6576
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6577
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6578
 
5710 dpurdie 6579
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6580
    expect a build.pl file.
6581
 
6582
  * Jats utility wrapper
6583
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6584
 
6585
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6586
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6587
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6588
 
6589
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6590
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6591
 
6592
  * Build files
6593
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6594
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6595

6597
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6599
Major changes:
6600
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6601
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6602
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6603
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6604
 
6605
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6606
 
6607
Minor changes:
6608
  * None
6609
 
6610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6611
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6613
Major changes:
6614
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6615
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6616
    ie:
6617
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6618
 
6619
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6620
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6621
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6622
    environments are compatible.
6623
 
6624
 
6625
Minor changes:
6626
  * BuildName option
6627
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6628
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6629
 
6630
  * jats.bat
6631
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6632
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6633
 
6634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6635
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6637
Major changes:
6638
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6639
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6640
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6641
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6642
 
6643
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6644
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6645
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6646
 
6647
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6648
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6649
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6650
 
6651
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6652
    transferred.
6653
 
6654
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6655
    See notes below.
6656
 
6657
  * WIN32 toolset
6658
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6659
    correctly.
6660
 
6661
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6662
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6663
 
6664
  * BuildVersion
6665
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6666
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6667
    other langauges as needed.
6668
 
6669
 
6670
Minor changes:
6671
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6672
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6673
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6674
    version strings.
6675
 
6676
  * GenerateFiles directive
6677
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6678
    package or an imported package.
6679
 
6680
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6681
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6682
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6683
 
6684
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6685
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6686
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6687
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6688
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6689
 
6690
Internal Changes
6691
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6692
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6693
    of utilities.
6694
 
6695
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6696
    functions.
6697
 
6698
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6699
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6700
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6701
Major changes:
6702
  * Generated makefiles
6703
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6704
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6705
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6706
 
6707
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6708
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6709
    incorrectly processing:
6710
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6711
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6712
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6713
    confused.
6714
 
6715
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6716
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6717
    The construct
6718
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6719
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6720
    then it works.
6721
 
6722
  * MakeAnt directive
6723
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6724
 
6725
    This option has the following effects
6726
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6727
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6728
 
6729
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6730
           early - in the generated files phase.
6731
 
6732
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6733
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6734
 
6735
 
6736
Minor changes:
6737
  * JATS post-installation script
6738
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6739
 
6740
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6741
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6742
    windows.
6743
 
6744
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6745
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6746
 
6747
  * Jats wrapper script
6748
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6749
        1) Contain spaces
6750
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6751
 
6752
  * Toolset
6753
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6754
 
6755
  * JAVA toolset
6756
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6757
    directive:
6758
 
6759
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6760
 
6761
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6762
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6763
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6764
 
6765
  * GCC Toolset
6766
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6767
 
6768
  * Makefile generation
6769
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6770
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6771
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6772
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6773
    package could not be used.
6774
 
6775
  * Unit Tests
6776
    The following environment variables are set:
6777
 
6778
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6779
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6780
 
6781
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6782
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6783
 
6784
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6785
 
6786
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6787
 
6788
 
6789
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6790
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6791
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6792
Major changes:
6793
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6794
 
6795
    Special features of this toolset.
6796
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6797
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6798
       incorporated within the target image.
6799
 
6800
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6801
       --Set=Name=Value
6802
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6803
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6804
 
6805
       --Ref=name
6806
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6807
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6808
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6809
                will be taken from the build version number.
6810
 
6811
Minor changes:
6812
  * MOS Toolset
6813
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6814
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6815
    packaged.
6816
 
6817
  * Src directive
6818
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6819
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6820
    specifier.
6821
 
6822
  * WIN32 runtime support
6823
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6824
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6825
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6826
 
6827
Internal:
6828
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6829
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6830
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6831
 
6832
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6833
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6834
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6835
Major changes:
6836
    * BuildAlias directive
6837
      Added options.
6838
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6839
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6840
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6841
                          targets.
6842
      Eg:
6843
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6844
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6845
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6846
 
6847
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6848
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6849
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6850
 
6851
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6852
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6853
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6854
 
6855
 
6856
Minor changes:
6857
  * Label utility
6858
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6859
    build.pl file
6860
 
6861
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6862
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6863
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6864
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6865
    --FilterIn option.
6866
 
6867
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6868
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6869
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6870
 
6871
  * Location of descpkg file
6872
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6873
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6874
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6875
 
6876
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6877
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6878
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6879
Major changes:
6880
  * RunTest directive
6881
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6882
    Additional options
6883
      --CopyIn=file
6884
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6885
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6886
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6887
        the test area.
6888
 
6889
    Additional operations
6890
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6891
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6892
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6893
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6894
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6895
    Allows flags:
6896
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6897
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6898
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6899
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6900
 
6901
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6902
    existence is tested.
6903
 
6904
  * Packaging Directives
6905
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6906
    such as LMOS.
6907
 
6908
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6909
 
6910
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6911
 
6912
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6913
 
6914
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6915
 
6916
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6917
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6918
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6919
 
6920
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6921
 
6922
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6923
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6924
 
6925
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6926
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6927
 
6928
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6929
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6930
 
6931
Minor changes:
6932
  * Script directive
6933
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6934
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6935
 
6936
  * JATS environment
6937
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6938
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6939
    the JATS wrapper script.
6940
 
6941
  * Label utility
6942
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6943
    There are three modes of operation:
6944
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6945
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6946
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6947

6950
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6951
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6952
Major changes:
6953
 
6954
Minor changes:
6955
  * label utility
6956
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6957
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6958
 
6959
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6960
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6961
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6962
      --ProgLoader=name
6963
 
6964
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6965
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6966
    Options to do this are:
6967
        --TreeDir=name
6968
        --FilterOut=regexp
6969
        --FilterIn=regexp
6970
        --StripDir
6971
 
6972
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6973
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6974
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6975
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6976
 
6977
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6978
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6979
 
6980
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6981
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6982
 
6983
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6984
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6985

Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6989
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6990
Major changes:
6991
    * Make commands
6992
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6993
 
6994
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6995
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6996
 
6997
    * Label utility
6998
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6999
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7000
 
7001
Minor changes:
7002
    * Toolsets
7003
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7004
      variables and overrides.
7005
 
7006
      The make_init target is always run.
7007
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7008
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7009
 
7010
    * Deployment
7011
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7012
      with deployment operations.
7013
 
7014
    * Release utility
7015
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7016
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7017
      restricted by options within the build.
7018
 
7019
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7020
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7021
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7022
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7023
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7024
 
7025
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7026
      directives.
7027
 
7028
    * MakeProject directive
7029
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7030
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7031
 
7032
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7033
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7034
      is preserved.
7035
 
7036
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7037
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7038
      statements.
7039
 
7040
    * Mugfile generation
7041
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7042
      be placed in the target package.
7043
 
7044
 
7045
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7046
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7047
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7048
Major changes:
7049
    * BuildVersion directive
7050
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7051
      number as well as a patch number.
7052
 
7053
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7054
      number.
7055
 
7056
Minor changes:
7057
    * AddFlags directives
7058
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7059
      duplicate flags being added.
7060
 
7061
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7062
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7063
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7064
 
7065
    * Mug File Generation
7066
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7067
 
7068
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7069
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7070
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7071
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7072
     directory.
7073
 
7074
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7075
     reproducible.
7076

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7078
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7079
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7080
Major changes:
7081
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7082
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7083
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7084
      longer a list of directories.
7085
 
7086
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7087
      done within the toolset.
7088
 
7089
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7090
 
7091
    * JATS environment variables
7092
      Redefined variable
7093
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7094
                          Previously was a list that included the
7095
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7096
 
7097
      New variable
7098
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7099
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7100
 
7101
 
7102
Minor changes:
7103
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7104
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7105
      target platforms to be extracted.
7106
 
7107
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7108
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7109
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7110
 
7111
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7112
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7113
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7114
 
7115
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7116
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7117
 
7118
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7119
      Support ANT based XML files
7120
 
7121
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7122
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7123
      structure.
7124
 
7125
    * makefile.pl's
7126
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7127
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7128
 
7129
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7130
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7131
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7132
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7133
 
7134
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7135
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7136
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7137
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7138
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7139
      -- Auto.
7140
 
7141
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7142
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7143
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7144
 
7145
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7146
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7147
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7148
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7149
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7150
 
7151
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7152
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7153
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7154
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7155
      installed on the machine.
7156
 
7157
    * WINCE Targets
7158
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7159
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7160
 
7161
 
7162
 
7163
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7164
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7165
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7166
Major changes:
7167
    * WIN32 platforms
7168
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7169
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7170
      and installed packages.
7171
 
7172
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7173
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7174
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7175
 
7176
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7177
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7178
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7179
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7180
      searched when looking for libraries.
7181
 
7182
Minor changes:
7183
    * GenerateFiles directive
7184
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7185
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7186
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7187
                          and drive letter
7188
 
7189
    * Src directive
7190
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7191
      directory of a package.
7192
 
7193
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7194
 
7195
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7196
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7197
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7198
 
7199
    * jats_rewrite utility
7200
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7201
 
7202
 
7203
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7204
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7206
Major changes:
7207
    * SunWorks production builds
7208
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7209
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7210
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7211
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7212
      compiler documentation.
7213
 
7214
    * MOS Toolset
7215
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7216
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7217
 
7218
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7219
 
7220
Minor changes:
7221
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7222
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7223
      This should not affect current users.
7224
 
7225
    * Mugfile generation
7226
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7227
      specified.
7228
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7229
 
7230

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7232
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7233
Major changes:
7234
    MOS Toolset
7235
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7236
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7237
 
7238
Minor changes:
7239
    * Jats wrapper script
7240
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7241
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7242
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7243
 
7244
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7245
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7246
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7247
      may be suspect.
7248
 
7249
    * GenerateFiles directive
7250
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7251
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7252
 
7253
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7254
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7256
Major changes:
7257
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7258
      build.xml files.
7259
 
7260
Minor changes:
7261
    * WIN32 toolset.
7262
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7263
 
7264
    * MakeAnt
7265
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7266
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7267
 
7268
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7269
 
7270
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7271
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7272
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7273
 
7274
    * MakeAnt directive
7275
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7276
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7277
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7278
 
7279
      Recommended usage:
7280
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7281
 
7282
Internal Changes
7283
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7284

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7288
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7289
Major changes:
7290
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7291
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7292
      files packaged into the release.
7293
 
7294
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7298
 
7299
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7300
      The recommended platform is:
7301
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7302
 
7303
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7304
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7305
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7306
      components.
7307
 
7308
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

7312
 
7313
Minor changes:
7314
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7315
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7316
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7317
      by the package to be accessed.
7318
 
7319
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7320
      application or visual studio.
7321
 
7322
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7323
      and the JATS Core path.
7324
 
7325
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7326
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7327
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7328
 
7329
    * MOS Toolset
7330
      Add support for the TPT device
7331
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7332
 
7333
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7334
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7335
 
7336
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7337
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7338
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7339
 
7340
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7341
 
7342
Internal Changes
7343
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7344
      in jats.pl
7345
 
7346
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7347
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7349
Major changes:
7350
    * JATS wrapper script
7351
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7352
 
7353
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7354
 
7355
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7356
 
7357
Minor changes:
7358
    * Deployment support
7359
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7360
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7361
 
7362
    * 'build'
7363
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
7364
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
7365
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
7366
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
7367
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
7368
 
7369
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
7370
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
7371
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
7372
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
7373
                                      the link phase.
7374
 
7375
    * BuildPkgArchive
7376
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
7377
      Previously these were ignored.
7378
      Minor code cleanup
7379
 
7380
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
7381
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
7382
      Manager "Source Path" field.
7383
 
7384
    * SOLARIS targets
7385
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
7386
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
7387
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
7388
 
7389
    * MugFile generation
7390
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
7391
      included in the final package.
7392
 
7393
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
7394
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
7395
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
7396
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
7397
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
7398
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
7399
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
7400
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
7401
 
7402
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
7403
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
7404
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
7405
            --Option=(some_text)
7406
            --Option=[some_text]
7407
            --Option={some_text}
7408
 
7409
Internal Changes
7410
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
7411
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
7412
      code.
7413
 
7414

7415
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
7416
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7417
Major changes:
7418
    * JATS wrapper script
7419
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
7420
 
7421
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
7422
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
7423
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
7424
      other components.
7425
 
7426
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
7427
 
7428
    * JATS
7429
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
7430
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
7431
 
7432
    * Build operations
7433
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
7434
      if required packages are built against different versions of
7435
      packages.
7436
 
7437
    * Make operations
7438
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
7439
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
7440
 
7441
Minor changes:
7442
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
7443
      deployment builds.
7444
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
7445
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
7446
 
7447
      Extended the "jats vars" display
7448
 
7449
    * build.pl
7450
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
7451
        processed. Allows
7452
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
7453
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
7454
        production.
7455
 
7456
    * MOS toolset
7457
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
7458
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
7459
 
7460
    * create_dpkg utility
7461
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
7462
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
7463
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
7464
      progress of the build.
7465
 
7466
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
7467
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
7468
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
7469
      system.
7470
 
7471
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7472
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
7473
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7474
Major changes:
7475
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7476
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
7477
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
7478
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
7479
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
7480
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
7481
 
7482
    * WCEX86A500 target
7483
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
7484
 
7485
    * MOS Toolsets
7486
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
7487
      the compiler.
7488
 
7489
    * RunTest directive
7490
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
7491
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7492
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7493
 
7494
Minor changes:
7495
    * JATS BUILD
7496
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7497
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7498
      highlight bad settings.
7499
 
7500
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7501
      access to extensions.
7502
 
7503
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7504
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7505
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7506
Major changes:
7507
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7508
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7509
 
7510
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7511
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7512
      under unix.
7513
 
7514
Minor changes:
7515
    * label utility
7516
      Added options to:
7517
        o Delete a label
7518
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7519
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7520
 
7521
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7522
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7523
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7524
      Package directives.
7525
 
7526
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7527
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7528
      system.
7529
 
7530
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7531
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7532
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7533
Major changes:
7534
    * MOS Toolset
7535
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7536
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7537
 
7538
    * WIN32 Toolset
7539
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7540
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7541
      list.
7542
 
7543
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7544
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7545
 
7546
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7547
 
7548
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7549
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7550
 
7551
 
7552
Minor changes:
7553
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7554
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7555
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7556
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7557
      corrected.
7558
 
7559
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7560
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7561
 
7562
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7563
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7564
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7565
 
7566
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7567
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7568
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7569
Major changes:
7570
    * WIN32 Toolset
7571
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7572
      use with multithreaded modes.
7573
 
7574
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7575
      --OnlyProd.
7576
 
7577
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7578
      within the makefile.pl.
7579
 
7580
Minor changes:
7581
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7582
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7583
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7584
      platforms.
7585
 
7586
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7587
 
7588
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7589
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7591
Major changes:
7592
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7593
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7594
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7595
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7596
 
7597
    * Preliminary Support
7598
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7599
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7600
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7601
 
7602
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7603
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7604
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7605
 
7606
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7607
      building. The default build will build both.
7608
 
7609
Minor changes:
7610
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7611
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7612
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7613
 
7614
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7615
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7616
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7617
 
7618
 
7619
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7620
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7621
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7622
Major changes:
7623
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7624
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7625
      or all.
7626
 
7627
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7628
      the library or program.
7629
 
7630
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7631
 
7632
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7633
      library or any debug files.
7634
 
7635
    * GenerateFiles
7636
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7637
 
7638
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7639
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7640
 
7641
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7642
              The filename of the prereq file
7643
 
7644
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7645
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7646
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7647
 
7648
 
7649
Minor changes:
7650
    * create_dpkg utility
7651
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7652
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7653
      the package has been altered.
7654

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7656
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

7658
Major changes:
7659
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7660
      This is a WINCE target
7661
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7662
 
7663
    * New toolset
7664
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7665
 
7666
    * Modified toolset
7667
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7668
 
7669
    * Modified toolset
7670
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7671
 
7672
Minor changes:
7673
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7674
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7675
 
7676
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7677
 
7678
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7679
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7680
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7681
 
7682
      The change allows the construct
7683
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7684
      to be replaced by the simpler
7685
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7686
 
7687
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7688
      specified name.    
7689

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7709
Major changes:
7710
    * The "package.pl" file.
7711
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7712
      package name being taken from the build name
7713
 
7714
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7715
      package Build Name.
7716
 
7717
Minor changes:
7718
    * create_dpkg utility
7719
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7720
 
7721

Minor changes:
7727
    * Dependancy generator
7728
      Correct two common situations
7729
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7730
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7731
           ansi, but is often done.
7732
 
7733
    * GCC toolset
7734
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7735
      being created in the correct place.
7736
 
7737
    * jats "label"
7738
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7739
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7740
 
7741
 
7742

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7745
Major changes:
7746
 
7747
Minor changes:
7748
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7749
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7750
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7751
 
7752
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7753
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7754
 
7755
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7756
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7757
      package was not being transferred.

      binaries for this target.
7766
 
7767
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7768
      with the GCC compiler.
7769
 
7770
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7771
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7772
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7773
 
7774
Minor changes:
7775
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7776
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7777
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7778
 
7779
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7780
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7781
 
7782
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7783
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7784
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7785
Major changes:
7786
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7787
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7788
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7789
 
7790
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7791
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7792
 
7793
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7794
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7795
      with either " or ' characters.
7796
 
7797
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7798
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7799
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7800
 
7801
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7802
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7803
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7804
 
7805
    * Jats wrapper
7806
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7807
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7808
      further commands.
7809
 
7810
Minor changes:
7811
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7812
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7813
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7814
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7815
 
7816
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7817
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7819
Major changes:
7820
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7821
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7822
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7823
 
7824
      These options operation affect all components within the
7825
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7826
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7827
 
7828
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7829
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7830
 
7831
Minor changes:
7832
 
7833
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7834
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7836
Major changes:
7837
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7838
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7839
 
7840
Minor changes:
7841
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7842
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7843
 
7844
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7845
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7846
 
7847
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7848
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7849
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7850
Major changes:
7851
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7852
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7853
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7854
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7855
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7856
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7857
      installed.
7858
 
7859
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7860
      libraries that depend on each other.
7861
 
7862
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7863
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7864
 
7865
Minor changes:
7866
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7867
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7868
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7869
 
7870
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7871
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7872
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7873
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7874
 
7875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7876
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7878
Major changes:
7879
 
7880
Minor changes:
7881
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7882
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7883
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7884
      file.
7885
 
7886
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7887
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7888
 
7889
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7890
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7891
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7892
 
7893
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7894
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7895
 
7896
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7897
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7898
 
7899
    * WinCE toolsets
7900
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7901
      compiler specific libraries.
7902
 
7903
    * SOLARIS toolset
7904
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7905
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7906
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7907
 
7908
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7909
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7910
      cleaned up.
7911
 
7912
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7913
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7914
 
7915
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7916
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7917
      with either " or ' characters.
7918
 
7919
 
7920
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7921
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7922
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7923
Major changes:
7924
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7925
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7926
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7927
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7928
 
7929
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7930
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7931
 
7932
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7933
      user.
7934
 
7935
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7936
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7937
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7938
 
7939
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7940
      for the   -Gf option.
7941
 
7942
Minor changes:
7943
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7944
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7945
 
7946
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7947
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7948
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7949
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7950
 
7951
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7952
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7953
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7954
Major changes:
7955
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7956
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7957
 
7958
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7959
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7960
      data addresses for the board.
7961
 
7962
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7963
 
7964
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7965
 
7966
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7967
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7968
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7969
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7970
         PackageFile
7971
 
7972
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7973
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7974
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7975
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7976
 
7977
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7978
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7979
      to be installed and packaged.
7980
 
7981
Minor changes:
7982
 
7983
    * cache_dpkg utility
7984
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7985
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7986
 
7987
    * label utility
7988
      New option -auto to create and label
7989
 
7990
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7991
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7992
 
7993
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7994
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7995
      directory. ie:
7996
 
7997
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7998
 
7999
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8000
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8001
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8002
 
8003
 
8004
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8005
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8007
Major changes:
8008
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8009
 
8010
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8011
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8012
 
8013
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8014
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8015
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8016
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8017
 
8018
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8019
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8020
      compilation.
8021
 
8022
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8023
 
8024
Minor changes:
8025
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8026
      one is being produced.
8027
 
8028
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8029
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8030
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8031
 
8032
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8033
 
8034
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8035
 
8036
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8037
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8038
 
8039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8040
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8041
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8042
Major changes:
8043
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8044
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8045
 
8046
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8047
 
8048
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8049
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8050
      same directory
8051
 
8052
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8053
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8054
      documenattion.
8055
 
8056
Minor changes:
8057
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8058
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8059
 
8060
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8061
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8062
 
8063
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8064
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8065
 
8066
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8067
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8068
 
8069
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8070
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8071
      be exempt from this test.
8072
 
8073
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8074
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8075
 
8076
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8077
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8078
 
8079
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8080
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8081
      does.
8082
 
8083
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8084
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8085
 
8086
 
8087
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8088
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8090
Major changes:
8091
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8092
 
8093
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8094
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8095
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8096
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8097
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8098
 
8099
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8100
      operations.
8101
 
8102
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8103
 
8104
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8105
 
8106
Minor changes
8107
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8108
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8109
 
8110
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8111
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8112
      directory is not added to the library path.
8113
 
8114
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8115
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8116
 
8117
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8118
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8119
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8120
 
8121
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8122
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8123
      specific flags.
8124
 
8125
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8126
 
8127
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8128
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8129
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8130
 
8131
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8132
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8133
      JATS.
8134
 
8135
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8136
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8137
 
8138
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8139
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8140
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8141
 
8142
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8143
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8144
 
8145
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8146
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8147
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8148
 
8149
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8150
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8151
 
8152
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8153
 
8154
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8155
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8156
 
8157
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8158
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8159
      objects.
