    * Build Directives: BuildPlatforms and BuildProducts
7
        The --Uses=XXX and --Alias=XXX options support a comma and a colon 
8
        separated list. The colon seperated list will aviod parsing 
9
        confusion.
10
 
11
        The following all have the same effect:
12
            BuildPlatforms ('P1', '--Uses=P2:P3' );
13
            BuildPlatforms ('P1', '--Uses=P2,P3' );
14
            BuildPlatforms ('P1,--Uses=P2:P3' );
15
            BuildPlatforms ('P1','--Uses=P2', '--Uses=P3' );
16

Minor changes:
190
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
191
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
192
 
193
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
194
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
195
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
196
      build errors.
197
 
198
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
199
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
200
 
201
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
202
      Shorthand for
203
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
204
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
205
 
206
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
207
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
208
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
209
      Examples: 
210
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
211
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
212
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
213
 
214
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
215
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
216
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
217
 
218
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
219
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
220
      build system.
221
 
222
Experimental:
223
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
224
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
225
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

229
Version:  3.13.3000.cr                              Released: 13-Mar-17
230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
231
 
232
Minor changes:
233
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
234
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
235
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
236
 
237
------------------------------------------------------------------------
238
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
239
------------------------------------------------------------------------
240
 
241
Minor changes:
242
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
243
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
244
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
245
 
246
    * Build Files
247
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
248
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
249
 
250
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
251
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
252
 
253
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
254
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
255
 
256
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
257
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
258
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
259
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
260
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
261
 
262
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
263
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
264
     different architectures.
265
 
266
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
267
     are directed to one or more machines.
268
 
269
     Intended uses:
270
        Windows: Creating installers. 
271
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
272
 
273
       All: Specialized packaging.
274
 
275
    * Makefiles
276
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
277
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
278
      Eg:
279
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
280
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
281
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
282
      It could also have been written as:
283
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
284
      but NOT as:
285
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
286
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
287
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
288
 
289
    * Utility: sandbox
290
      Subcommand info 
291
        - Added option to test fingerprints
292
        - Display status in a column for easy reading

297
 
298
Minor changes:
299
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
300
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
301
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
302
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
303
 
304
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
305
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
306
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
307
 
308
    * GenerateFiles directive
309
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
310

    * Utility: sandbox
312
      Added a 'fingerprint' command to manipulate packages fingerprints.
313
 
314

315
      recalulated if the user adds or removes packages from the sandbox.
316
 
317
Internal changes:
318
    * Centralizing build platform information.

    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
330
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
331
 
332
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
333
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
334
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
335
      machine may build the toolset.
336
 
337
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
338
      platform.
339
 
340

356
      It is not used.
357
 
358
      Tweaks to the calculation of the TOOLSET alias to allow it to work when
359
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
360
 
361
    * Utility: escrow
362
      Added -skim option
363
 
364
    * Utility: sandbox
365
      Many improvements:
366
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
367
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
368
 
369
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
370
 
371
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
372
        if an error is detected.
373
 
374
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
375
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
376
 
377
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
378
        skipped during the build.
379
 
380
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

385
 
386
Minor changes:
387
    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
388
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
389
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
390
 
391
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
392
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.
393

    * EnvVars
1298
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
1299
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
1300
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
1301
 
1302
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1303
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
1304
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
1305
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
1306
 
1307
    * Jats caching
1308
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
1309
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

Minor changes:
1334
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
1335
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1336
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1337
 
1338
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1339
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1340
 
1341
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
1342
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
1343
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
1344
 
1345
    * Jats Internal: Database access

1632
Minor changes:
1633
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1634
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1635
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1636
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1637
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1638
 
1639
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1640
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

1650
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1651
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1652
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1653
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1654
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1655
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1656
 
1657

1658
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.

1666
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1667
Major changes:
1668
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1669
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1670
      intended to build deployed software.
1671
 
1672
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1673
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1674
 
1675
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1676
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1677
 
1678
Minor changes:
1679
    * Jats wrapper script
1680
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1681
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1682
      Subversion instance of the command.
1683
 
1684
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1685
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1686
 
1687
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1688

1692
      file under windows.
1693
 
1694
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1695
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1696
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1697
 
1698
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1699
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1700
 
1701
    * GCC Toolchain
1702
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1718
Major changes:
1719
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1720
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1721
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1722
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1723
 
1724
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1725
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1735
Minor changes:
1736
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1737
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1738
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1739
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1740
      line.
1741
 
1742
    * Jats Configuration
1743
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1744
 
1745
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1746
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1747
      and Linux.
1748
 
1749
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1750
      correctly rippled.

Minor changes:
1758
    * Jats Core
1759
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1760
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1761
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1762
 
1763
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1764
      Used only by the build daemons.
1765
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1766
 
1767
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1768
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1769
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

1774
Major changes:
1775
 
1776
Minor changes:
1777
    * svnrelease utility
1778
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1779
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1780
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1781
 
1782
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1783
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1784
      the named tag.
1785
 
1786
    * svnrelease utility
1787
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1788
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1804
 
1805
    * ALL Toolsets
1806
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1807
 
1808
    * Utility vcsdiff
1809
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1810

1828
      showing the user what to do.
1829
 
1830
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1831
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1832
      we have build support for this target.
1833
 
1834
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1835
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1836
 
1837
Internal:
1838
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1855
Major changes:
1856
 
1857
Minor changes:
1858
    * Makefile generation
1859
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1860
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1861
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1862
      of warnings.
1863
 
1864
    * Makefile Generation
1865
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

2429 dpurdie 1873
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1874
Major changes:
1875
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1876
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1877
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1878
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1879
 
1880
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1881
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1882
      windows path scheme.
1883
 
1884
Minor changes:
1885
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1886
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1887
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1888
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1889
 
1890
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1891
        jats make clobber
1892
      This operates as before.
1893
 
1894
    * Utility: escrow
1895
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1896
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1897
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1898
 
1899
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1900
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1901
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1902
 
1903
    * Utility: svn : url
1904
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1905
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1906
 
1907
    * Utility: svn : import
1908
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1909
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1910
 
1911
    * Subversion Support
1912
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1913
      showing the user what to do.
1914
 
1915
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1916
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1917
      repositories.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1922
 
1923
Minor changes:
1924
    * Jats build
1925
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1926
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1927
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1928
 
1929
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1930
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 1931
 
1932
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
1951
 
1952
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1953
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1954
      Modified two options:
1955
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1956
                        The named branch must not exist
1957
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1958
                        The named branch must exist
1959
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

1993
 
1994
Major changes:
1995
    * Jats Version Number
1996
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

2020
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2021

2048
 
2049
    * Utility: svnrelease
2050
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2051
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2052
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2053
 
2054
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2055
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2056
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2057
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2058
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2059
 
2060
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2061
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.

2067
      Subcommand: populate
2068
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2069
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2070
      sandbox.
2071
 
2072
    * Subversion Support
2073
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2074
      repository is not supported.
2075
 
2076
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2077
      a progress indication.
2078
 
2079
    * Jats Online Documentation
2080
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the

Major changes:
2162
 
2163
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2164
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2165
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2166
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2167
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.

      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2187
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2188
 
2189

2218
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2219
Major changes:
2220
 
2221
Minor changes:
2222
    * Command: jats clobber
2223
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2224
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2225
 
2226
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2227
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2228
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2229
 
2230
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2231
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2232
 
377 dpurdie 2233
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2234
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2235
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2236
 
2237
    * jats svnlabel
2238
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2239
 
2240
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2241
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2242
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2243
 
2244
    * Built Daemon support
2245
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2246
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2247

373 dpurdie 2249
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2251
Major changes:
2252
    * GCC Toolset
2253
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2254
      New methodology is:
2255
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2256
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2257
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2258
        as the main binary.
2259
 
2260
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2261
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2262
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2263
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2264
      both worlds.
2265
 
2266
Minor changes:
2267
    * HTML Documentation
2268
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.

Major changes:
2279
    * Jats Sandbox
2280
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2281
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2282
      machine architecture and consumed under another.

      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2312
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
2313
      a vob.
2314

2395
 
2396
Minor changes:
2397
    * HTML Help
2398
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
2399
 
2400
    * jats build -noforce
2401
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
2402
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
2403
      be forced.
2404
 
2405
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
2406
 
2407
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2408
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
2409
 
2410
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
2411
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
2412
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
2413
 
2414
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
2415
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
2416
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
2417
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
2418
 
2419
    * Utility: svnrelease
2420
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
2421
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
2422
 
2423
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
2424
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
2425
 
2426
    * Utility: svn
2427
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
2428
      installed and can be used.
2429
 
2430
    * Toolset: CSharp
2431
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
2432
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
2433
      character.
2434
 
2435
    * Toolset: SunWorks
2436
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
2437
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
2438
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
2439
      masking an error.
2440
 
2441
    * Toolset: Delphi7
2442
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
2443
      enhancement.
2444
 
2445
    * Toolset: dafbr
2446
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
2447
 
2448
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
2449
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
2450
        - Return correct path to package
2451
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
2452
 
2453
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
2454
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
2455
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
2456
 
2457
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
2458
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
2459
      packages.
2460
 
2461
    * make command: show
2462
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
2463
      'jats make show' command.
2464
 
2465
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2466
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
2467
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
2468
 
2469
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
2470
      executed on Unix machines.

2506
 
2507
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
2508
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
2509
 
2510
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
2511
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
2512
      developers.

2534
      in a package archive.
2535
 
2536
      Sub command: create
2537

      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
2539
      package version.
2540
 
2541
      Command specific help
2542

2690
 
2691
    * BuildPlatform
2692
      New option: --NoToolSet
2693
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
2694
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
2695
 
2696
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
2697
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
2698
      need toolset specific information.
2699
 
2700
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
2701
 
2702
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

      resulting in multiple builds.
2814
 
2815
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets

2821
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2822
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
2823

Minor changes:
2831
    * Jats label command
2832
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2833
      Not recommended for general use.
2834
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2835
      directories within the current view.
2836
 
2837
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2838
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2839
      elsewhere.
2840
 
2841
    * Jats save_build
2842
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2843
      the determination of a branch.
2844
 
2845
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2846
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2847
 
2848
    * Jats build
2849
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2850
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2851
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2852
 
2853
    * Borland6 toolset
2854
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2855
      to match the documented install location of:
2856
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2857
 
2858
    * Jats build
2859
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2860
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2861
      This is a very quick operation.
2862
 
2863
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2864
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2865
 
2866
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2867
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2868
      files are only recreated if need be.
2869
 
2870
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2871
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2872
      make the package.
2873
 
2874
    * Jats sandbox
2875
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2876
 
2877
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2878
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2879
 
2880
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2881
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2882
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2883
      is performed.
2884
 
2885
Internal:

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2923
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2924
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2925
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2926
 
2927
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2928
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2929
 
2930
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2931
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2932
      platform builds.
2933

      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2936
      directory tree.
2937

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2952
Major changes:
2953
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2954
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2955
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2956
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2957
 
2958
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2959
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2960
 
2961
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2962
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2963
 
2964
      Examples:
2965
            jats upddep -show
2966
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2967
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2968
 
2969
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2970
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2971
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2972
 
2973
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2974
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.

      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2990
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2991
      stream.

Minor changes:
3000
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3001
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3002
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3003
      directive.
3004
 
3005
    * GCC Toolkit
3006
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3007
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3008
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3009
      the point of termination.
3010
 
3011
    * Jats save_build utility
3012
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3013
      under windows.
3014
 
3015
    * Jats sandbox
3016
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3017
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3018
      in different sandboxes.
3019
 
3020
    * Jats release
3021
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

3028
Minor changes:
3029
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3030
      Added -locatedir=name
3031
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3032
      directory.
3033
 
3034
    * jats label utility
3035
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3036
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3037
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3038
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3039
 
3040
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3041

3045
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3046
 
3047
Minor changes:
3048
    * WinCe Toolsets
3049
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3050
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3051
        noExceptions            - Disable
3052
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3053
      Example:
3054
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3055
 
3056
    * Solaris targets
3057
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3058
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3059
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3060
      machine type.
3061

3063
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3065
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3066
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3067
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3068
      project files.
3069
 
3070
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3071
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3072
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3073
 
3074
Minor changes:
3075
    * Added more internal documentation
3076
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3077
 
3078
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3079
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3080
 
3081
    * Jats save_build utility
3082
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3083
      under windows.
3084
 
3085
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3086
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3087
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3088
      libraries.
3089
 
3090
    * Solaris builds
3091
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3092
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3093
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3094
      of the build failure.
3095
 
3096
 
3097
Internal changes:
3098
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3099
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3100
 
3101
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3102
      PkgArchive topics.

3106
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3107
Major changes:
3108
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3109
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3110
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3111
      existing 32-bit builds.
3112
 
3113
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3114
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3115
 
3116
Minor changes:
3117
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3118
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3119
 
3120
    * Package searching
3121
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3122
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3123
 
3124
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3125
 
3126
    * jats help
3127
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3128
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3129
 
3130
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3131
      with one of:
3132
        jats -h
3133
        jats help jats
3134
 
3135
Internal:
3136
    * cmdfile utility
3137
      Added macros:
3138
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3139
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3140
 
3141
      Corrected
3142
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3143
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3144
 
3145
      Extended
3146
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3147
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3148
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3149
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Internal changes
3159
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3160
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3161
      Useful side effects include:
3162
 
3163
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3164
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3165
 
3166
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3167
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3168
 
3169
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3170
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3171
        BuildPkgArchive
3172
 
313 dpurdie 3173
    * Perl Modules
3174
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3175
      release. This will:
3176
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3177
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3178
          reported by ERG.
3179
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
3187
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3188
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3189
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3190
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3191
 
3192
    * Jats label utility
3193
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3194
 
3195
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3196
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3197
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3198
 
3199
    * Jats core
3200
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3201
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3202
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3211
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3212
      This is now fixed.
3213
 
309 dpurdie 3214
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3215
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3216
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3217
 
3218
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3219
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
3220

    * Generating makefiles
3228
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3229
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3230
      an error.
3231
 
3232
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3233
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3234
 
3235
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3236
      Highly specialized directive.

3242
Major changes:
3243
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3244
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3245
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3246
 
3247
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3248
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3249
 
3250
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3251
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3252
      Support includes
3253
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3254
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3255
 
3256
Minor changes:
3257
    * Build file processing
3258
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3259
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3260
 
3261
    * MOS builds
3262
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3263
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3264
 
3265
    * MOS builds
3266
      New 'known' product: PICP
3267
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3268
 
3269
    * GenerateFiles directive
3270
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3271
        under windows.
3272
 
3273
        .
3274
 
3275
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3276
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3277
 
3278
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3279
      to the output stream.
3280
 
3281
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3282
 
3283
    * Windows Shell
3284
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3285
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3286
 
3287
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3288
 
3289
    * H8S toolset
3290
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3291
 
3292
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3293
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3294
 
3295
Internal changes
3296
    * WinCe builds
3297
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3298
      content of the file.
3299
 
3300
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3301
 
3302
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3303
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3315
Major changes:
3316
 
3317
Minor changes:
3318
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3319
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3320
      Changes are transparent to users.
3321
 
3322
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3323
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3324
      this occurs.
3325
 
3326
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3327
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3328
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3329
      automated build framework.
3330
 
3331
    * jats sandbox command
3332
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3333
      'create' command.
3334
 
3335
    * jats command aliases. Added
3336
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3337
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
3338

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3342
Major changes:
3343
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3344
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3345
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3346
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3347
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3348
      will work as expected
3349
 
3350
Minor changes:
3351
    * VS2008 Toolset
3352
      Picking up incorrect config details
3353
      May result in a warning message.
3354
 
3355
    * gen_cots utility
3356
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3357
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3358
 
3359
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3360
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
3361
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths
3362

3407
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3408
Major changes:
3409
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
3410
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
3411
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
3412
 
3413
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
3414
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
3415
 
3416
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
3417
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
3418
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
3419
           names cannot be changed.
3420
 
3421
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
3422
           artifacts is very simplistic.
3423
 
3424
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
3425
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
3426
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
3427
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
3428
 
3429
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
3430
      file.
3431
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
3432
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
3433
      MyPackage.dpk.
3434
 
3435
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
3436
      file.
3437
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
3438
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
3439
      MyDll.dpr.
3440
 
3441
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
3442
      file.
3443
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
3444
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
3445
      MyProg.dpr.
3446
 
3447
Minor changes:
3448
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
3449
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
3450
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
3451
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
3452
 
3453
    * BuildVersion directive
3454
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
3455
      in a Delphi Unit.
3456
 
3457
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
3458
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
3459
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
3460
      'know' the location of the files.
3461
 
3462
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
3463
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
3464
 
3465
Internal Changes:
3466
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
3467
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
3468
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
3469
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
3470
 
3471
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
3472
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
3473
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
3474

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
3477
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3478
Major changes:
3479
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
3480
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
3481
      information for purely C++ builds.
3482
 
289 dpurdie 3483
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
3484
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 3485
 
289 dpurdie 3486
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
3487
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
3488
            Manager
287 dpurdie 3489
 
3490
Minor changes:
3491
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
3492
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
3493
 
3494
    * updatenodespec utility
3495
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
3496
      Manager database.

3521
Minor changes:
3522
    * MergeLibrary directive
3523

3532
Minor changes:
3533
    * New command: jats make show
3534
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
3535
      used in the build.
3536
 
3537
    * Escrow command
3538
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
3539
 
3540
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
3541
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3542
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3543
 
3544
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3545
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
3546
 
3547

277 dpurdie 3549
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3550
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3551
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3552
 
279 dpurdie 3553
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3554
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3555
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3556
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3557
 
3558
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3559
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3560
 
3561
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3562
 
3563
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3564
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3565
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3566
 
3567
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3568
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3569
        processed.
3570
 
3571
      Removed the '-delete' option
3572
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3573
 
277 dpurdie 3574
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3575
    * Sandbox command
3576
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3577
 
3578
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3579
      target from consideration in the build set.
3580
 
3581
    * MCR Toolset
3582
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3583
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3584
 
3585
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3586
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3587
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3588
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3589
 
3590
    * Jats run_test command
3591
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3592
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3593
 
3594
    * descpkg file
3595
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3596
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3597
 
3598
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3599
     Now contains build trace information
3600
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3601
 
3602
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3603
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3604
     it contains 'jar' files.
3605
 
3606
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3607
 
3608
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3609
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3610
 
3611
   * BuildVersion directive
3612
     Form:
3613
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3614
     now works as expected.
3615
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3616
 
3617
Internal Changes:
3618
 
3619
    * Error reporting mechanism
3620
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
3621
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
3622
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
3632
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
3633
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
3634
    then starts.
3635
 
3636
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3637
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
3638
 
3639
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
3640
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3641
    non-platform option.
3642
 
279 dpurdie 3643
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

3657
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
3658
 
3659
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
3660
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
3661
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
3662
 
3663
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
3664
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
3665
 
3666
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
3667
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D

3670
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
3671
 
3672
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
3673
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
3674
      to the invoked application.
3675
 
3676
Internal Changes:
3677
    * JatsCopy Package

3782
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3783
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3784
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation
3785
    of the ClearCase related metrics.

        define_source_file              (Default)
3806
 
3807
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3808
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3809
 
3810
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

3818
            --InstallProg=list
3819
 
3820
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
3821
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
3822
      GenerateCab.
3823
 
3824

3903
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
3904
      programs.
3905
 
3906
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.

3934
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
3935
 
3936
      Suggested new usage:
3937
        jats etool jats_save_build

3956
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
3957
      time.
3958
 
3959
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
3960
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

3973
 
3974
Internal Changes:
3975
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
3976
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3977
      Previously was being done at two places
3978
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3979
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3980
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
3981
 
3982
    * JATS make: Command line
3983
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
3984

3992
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
3993
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
3994
        + Consistent use of option parsing
3995

4018
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4019
 
4020
    * FileUtils package.
4021
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.

4041
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4042
 
4043
Minor changes:

4055
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4056
 
4057
      New platforms:
4058
        CSHARP2005
4059
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4060
         Support extends to allow:
4061
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4062
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4063
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4064
 
4065
        VS2005
4066
         Support extends to allow:
4067
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4068
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4069
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4070
 
4071
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4072
      through a version selector:
4073
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4074
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4075
 
4076
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4077
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4078
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4079
 
4080
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4081
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4082
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4083
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4084
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4085
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4086
          under VS2005.
4087
 
4088
Minor changes:
4089
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4090
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4091
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4092
 
4093
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4094
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4095
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4096
 
4097
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4098
 
4099
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4100
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4101
 
4102
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4103
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4104
      a minimal value of perl.
4105
 
4106
      Removed excessive require statements.
4107
 
4108
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4109
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4110
      Include JATS specific files for
4111
        1) Windows
4112
        2) Linux
4113
 
4114
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4115
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4116
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4117
      machines.
4118
 
4119
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4120
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4121
 
4122
    * JATS Environment
4123
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4124
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4125
 
4126
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4127
      wrapper scripts.
4128
 
4129
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4130
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4131
      Spell check help and code.

4151
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be non-numeric
4152
 
4153
    * GCC Toolset
4154
      Correct the operation of the assembler interface to 'gas' such that
4155
      options are passed correctly.
4156
 
4157
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
4158
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
4159
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
4160
      was added.
4161
 
4162
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
4163
      reviewing a new package.
4164
 
4165
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4166
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
4167
      automatically included in the source file list.
4168
 
253 dpurdie 4169
    * Toolset updates
4170
      Thyron and gnu_mpt. From An Tran.

4177
Minor changes:
4178
    * PackageFile directive [DEVI-048037][DEVI-047541]
4179
      Now supports the packaging of files with ( or ) in the name
4180

4182
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
4183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4184
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4185
  * New toolset and platform
4186
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4187
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4188
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4189
    this platform.
4190
 
4191
Minor changes:
4192
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4193
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4194
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4195
    work.
4196
 
4197
  * Jats utility: release
4198
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4199
    published to dpkg_archive.
4200
 
249 dpurdie 4201
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4202
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4203
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4204
    supported for ANT builds.
4205
 
4206
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4207
        releasemanager.releasename
4208
        releasemanager.projectname
4209
 
4210
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4211
    tagged data item of the form
4212
 
4213
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4214
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4215
 
4216
  * Mug File Generation
4217
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4218
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4219
 
4220
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4221
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4222
    required.
4223
 
4224
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4225
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4226
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4227
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4228
    the files in order to use them.
4229
 
4230
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4231
    locate the file.
4232
 
4233
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4234
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4235
 
4236
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4237
        * CSharp
4238
        * Properties
4239
        * WinRC
4240
 
4241
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4242
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4243
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4244
    Value is correctly assigned.
4245

4247
Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4248
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4249
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4250
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4251
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4252
 
4253
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4254
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4255
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4256
 
4257
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4258
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4259
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4260
 
4261
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4262
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4263
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4264
 
4265
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4266
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4267
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4268
    correct.
4269
 
4270
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4271
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4272
 
4273
Minor changes:
4274
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4275
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4276
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4277
 
4278
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4279
    This will simplify new user setup.
4280
 
4281
  * All Unix Toolsets
4282
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4283
    on unix systems
4284
 
4285
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4286
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4287
    on some Solaris Machines.
4288
 
4289
  * JATS -version=<version>
4290
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4291
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4292

4335
 
4336
  * JATS builds
4337
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

4339
    mode.
4340
 
4341
  * JATS makefiles
4342
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
4343
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
4344
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
4345
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4346
                            SetList directive.
4347
 
4348

4356
 
4357
  * JATS buildfile processing
4358
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
4359
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
4360
    of JATS.
4361
 
4362

      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
4393
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
4394
 
4395
    * MOS Toolset
4396
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
4397
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
4398
 
4399
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

4449
    * MOS Compiler
4450
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the

4452
 
4453
    * Utility: create_dpkg
4454
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 4493
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
4494
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
4495
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
4496
 
4497
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4498
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
4499
 
4500
    * Jats wrapper
4501
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
4502
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4507
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 4508
    * Jats Release Mechanism
4509
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
4510
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
4511
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
4512
 
4513
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
4514
 
4515
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
4516
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
4517
 
4518
    * Running Jats
4519
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
4520
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
4521
      This may affect some windows developers.
4522
 
4523
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
4524
      Future versions will generate an error.
4525
 
4526
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
4527
 
4528
Minor changes:
4529
    * Perl Version Check
4530
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
4531
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
4532
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
4533
 
4534
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
4535
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
4536
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
4537
      build.
4538
 
4539
    * Jats Internals
4540
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4541
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4542
 
4543
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4544
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4545
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4546
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4547
      process.

      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4550
      Only works under Windows.
4551
 
4552
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4553
 
4554
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4555
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4556
 
4557
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4558
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4559
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4560
 
4561
    * Jats eprog
4562
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4563
      directory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4572
Major changes:
4573
 
4574
Minor changes:
4575
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4576
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4577
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4578
      automated build system. New options are:
4579
        -pname=Package_Name
4580
        -pversion=Package_Version
4581
 
4582
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4583
      transferring the package. New options are:
4584
        -test
4585
 
4586
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4587
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4588
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4589
 
4590
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4591
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4592
 
4593
    * Solaris Toolset
4594
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4595
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4596
      programs are still supported.

4601
Major changes:
4602
 
4603
Minor changes:
4604
    * WINCE toolsets
4605
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4606
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4607
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4608
      when header files cannot be found.
4609
 
4610
    * GenerateFiles directive
4611
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4612
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4613
      that are difficult to solve.
4614
 
4615
    * MakePerlModule directive
4616
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4617
      to the the module builder.
4618
 
4619
    * Jats Tool: label
4620
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4621
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4622
      -dirs=xxx options.
4623
 
4624
    * Jats Tool: release
4625
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4626
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4627
 
4628
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4629
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4630
 
4631
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4632
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4633
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4634
 
4635
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
4642
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
4643
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
4644
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
4645
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
4646
 
4647
Minor changes:
4648
    * label utility
4649
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
4650
 
4651
    * make package and install operations
4652
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
4653
      transfer.
4654
 
4655
    * make clean up
4656
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4657
 
4658
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4659
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4660
      minor file transformations such as:
4661
        Copy, with optional rename
4662
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4663
        Perform simple TAG replacement
4664
 
4665
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
4666
 
4667
    * jats release utility
4668
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4669
      in place.
4670
 
4671
    * escrow utility
4672
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
4673
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
4681
    * Makefile generation
4682
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4683
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4684
      generate phase early.

4689
Major changes:
4690
 
4691
Minor changes:
4692
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4693
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4694
 
4695
    * Makefile generation
4696
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4697
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4698
 
4699
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4700
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4701
 
4702
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4703
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4704
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4705
 
4706
    * jats_rewrite utility
4707
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4708
 
4709
    * jats escrow utility
4710
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4711
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4712
 
4713
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4714
      inconsistent packages.
4715
 
4716
    * jats make help
4717
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4718
      available within the current build.
4719
 
4720
    * jats makefiles
4721
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4722
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4723
 
4724
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4725
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4726
 
4727
    * gcc toolset
4728
      SharedLibries.
4729
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4730
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4731
 
4732
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4733
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4734
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4735
 
4736
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4737
        New options:
4738
            --MultiScan
4739
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4740
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4741
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4747
Major changes:
4748
 
4749
Minor changes:
4750
    PackageLib directive
4751
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4752
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4753
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4754
 
4755
    MakefileGenerate directive
4756
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4757
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4758
 
4759
    Multiple Parent detection
4760
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4761
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4762
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4763
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4764
 
4765
    Solaris Toolset
4766
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4767
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4768
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4769
    link.
4770
 
4771
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4772
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4773
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4774
 
4775
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4776
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4777
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4778
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4783
Major changes:
4784
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4785
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4786
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4787
 
4788
    Summary of changes:
4789
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4790
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4791
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4792
          flexibility.
4793
 
4794
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4795
 
4796
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4797
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4798
          interface directory and associated build information.
4799
 
4800
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4801
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4802
          than one second.
4803
 
4804
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4805
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4806
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4807
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4808
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4809
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4810
 
4811
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4812
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4813
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4814
 
4815
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4816
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4817
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4818
          building them.
4819
 
4820
        - Detection of build file changes
4821
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4822
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4823
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4824
 
4825
        - Quieter make output
4826
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4827
 
4828
 
4829
Minor changes:
4830
    MakeAnt Directive
4831
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4832
 
4833
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4834
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4835
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4836
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4837
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4838
 
4839
    CSHARP toolset
4840
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4841

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4849
    are generated.
4850
 
4851
    MakeAnt
4852
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4853
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4854
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4855
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4856
 
4857
    MCR platform

Minor changes:
4867
    MakeAnt directive extended
4868
    New option: --PackageBase
4869
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4870
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4871
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4872
 
4873
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4874
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4875
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4876
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4896
 
4897
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4898
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4899
 
4900
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4901
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4902
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4903
 
4904
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4905
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4906
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4907
    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
4936
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4937
 
4938
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4939
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched

        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4945
           or within any such directive with the --Local option

4966
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4967
Major changes:
4968
 
4969
Minor changes:
4970
    * Solaris Toolset
4971
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
4972
      dependent packages.
4973
 
4974
    * RunTest operation
4975
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4976
 
4977
    * Csharp toolkit
4978
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too

Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
4982
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4983
Major changes:
4984
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4985
 
4986
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4987
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4988
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4989
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4990
      path.
4991
 
4992
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4993
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4994
      reproducible.
4995
 
4996
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4997
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4998
 
4999
      There are several aspects to the change
5000
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5001
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5002
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5003
 
5004
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5005
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5006
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5007
          controlled separately.
5008
 
5009
Minor changes:
5010
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5011
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5012
        Remove duplicates
5013
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5014

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
5017
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5018
Major changes:
5019
 
5020
Minor changes:
5021
    * Makefile sanity test
5022
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5023
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5024
 
5025
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5026
      x86 machine.
5027
 
5028
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5029
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5030
 
5031
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5032
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5033
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5034
Major changes:
5035
    * RunTest directive
5036
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5037
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5038
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5039
 
5040
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5041
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5042
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5043
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5044
 
5045
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5046
        builder within the current toolset.
5047
 
5048
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5049
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5050
 
5051
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5052
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5053
      containing the RunTest directive.
5054
 
5055
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5056
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5057
 
5058
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5059
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5060
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5061
 
5062
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5063
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5064
                            P or D suffix.
5065
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5066
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5067
 
5068
Minor changes:
5069
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5070
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5071
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5072
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5073
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5074
 
5075
    * Save Build Utility
5076
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5077
      used in a ripple build.
5078
 
5079
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5080
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5081
 
5082
    * Release Utility
5083
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5084
      when an error is encountered.
5085
 
5086
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5087
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5088
 
5089
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5090
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5091
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5092
 
5093
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5094
      before the makefiles are created.
5095
 
5096
    * TestProg directive
5097
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5098
 
5099
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5100
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5101

5104
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5105
Major changes:
5106
    * New build target
5107
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5108
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5109
 
5110
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5111
            DEVLINUX
5112
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5113
 
5114
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5115
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5116
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5117
 
5118
Minor changes:
5119
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5120
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5121
 
5122
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5123
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5124
 
5125
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5126
      and .cs files.
5127
 
5128
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5129
      thing.
5130
 
5131
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5132
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5133
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5134
      were it places temp files.
5135
 
5136
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5137
      interaction with other builds.
5138
 
5139
    * Release utility command
5140
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5141
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5142
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5157
  * Unit Tests
5158
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
5159
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5160
 
5161
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
5162
    as a Script.

        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5201
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5202
 
5203
  * Deployment
5204
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5205
 
5206
  * build.pl
5207
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5208
 
5209
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5210
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5211
 
5212
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5213
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5214
    build.
5215
 
5216
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5217
 
5218
  * Tool: escrow
5219
     New features
5220
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5221
     are not in the SBOM.
5222
 
5223
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5224

5229
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5231
Major changes:
5232
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5233
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5234
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5235
 
5236
  * GenerateFiles
5237
    Added the options:
5238
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5239
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5240
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5241
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5242
 
5243
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5244
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5245
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5246
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5247
                                  required.
5248
 
5249
 
5250
Minor changes:
5251
  * GenerateFile directive
5252
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5253
 
5254
  * GCC Toolset
5255
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5256
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5257
    be rebuilt.
5258
 
5259
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5260
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5261
 
5262
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5263
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5265
Major changes:
5266
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5267
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5268
    environment variables.
5269
 
5270
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5271
            moved.
5272
 
5273
    This will affect users that:
5274
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5275
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5276
 
5277
        2) Use the ABT system
5278
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5279
           the required configuration
5280
 
5281
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5282
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5283
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5284
    Windows
5285
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5286
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5287
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5288
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5289
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5290
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5291
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5292
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5293
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5294
 
5295
 
5296
  * New build platforms
5297
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5298
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5299
 
5300
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5301
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5302
 
5303
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5304
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5305
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5306
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5307
 
5308
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5309
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5310
    release.
5311
 
5312
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5313
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5314
 
5315
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5316
    need to be converted.
5317
 
5318
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5319
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5320
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5321
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5322
    used for different targets platforms.
5323
 
5324
  * Sandbox support
5325
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5326
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5327
 
5328
    New command: jats sandbox ...
5329
 
5330
Minor changes:
5331
 
5332
 
5333
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5334
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5335
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5336
Major changes:
5337
  * MakeAnt directive
5338
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5339
 
5340
    New options
5341
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5342
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5343
 
5344
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5345
    run_unit_tests phase.
5346
 
5347
  * Sandbox support
5348
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5349
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5350
 
5351
Minor changes:
5352
  * jats build
5353
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5354
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5355
 
5356
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5357
 
5358
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5359
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5360
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5361
 
5362
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5363
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5364
 
5365
  * JATS.BAT
5366
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5367
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5368
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5369
 
5370
  * jats label
5371
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5372
 
5373
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5374
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
5375
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5376
Major changes:
5377
  * New build platform:
5378
        LMOS_TP5600
5379
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5380
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5381
 
5382
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
5383
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
5384
    describe the group of platforms.
5385
 
5386
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5387
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
5388
    build these targets.
5389
 
5390
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
5391
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
5392
 
5393
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
5394
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
5395
 
5396
  * New build platform: WINCE
5397
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
5398
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
5399
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
5400
 
5401
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
5402
            WCEIT3000
5403
            WCEPA961
5404
            WCEPA962
5405
            WCEPCM7220
5406
            WCEPSION_420
5407
            WCEPSPC_arm
5408
            WCEPSPC_emu
5409
            WCEX86A420
5410
            WCEX86A500
5411
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
5412
 
5413
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
5414
 
5415
 *  JATS makefile.pl
5416
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
5417
    that contain packaging directives.
5418
 
5419
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
5420
    very unusual configurations.
5421
 
5422
Minor changes:
5423
  * Directive: PackageFile
5424
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
5425
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
5426
    an '='.
5427
 
5428
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
5429
    of "--Subdir=etc".
5430
 
5431
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
5432
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
5433
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
5434
 
5435
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
5436
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
5437
 
5438
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5439
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
5440
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5441
Major changes:
5442
 
5443
  * JATS release command
5444
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
5445
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
5446
 
5447
    Rules are:
5448
        Modify a file:      File will branch
5449
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
5450
                            File will be placed on a branch
5451
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
5452
                            New directory will branch
5453
 
5454
Minor changes:
5455
  * JATS release command
5456
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
5457
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
5458
 
5459
  * JATS label command
5460
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
5461
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
5462
 
5463
  * JATS make
5464
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
5465
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
5466
    was re-packaged.
5467
 
5468
  * JATS escrow
5469
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
5470
    Use jats escrow -help for details
5471
 
5472
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
5473
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
5474
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
5475
 
5476
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
5477
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
5478
    interface directory.
5479
 
5480
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
5481
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
5482
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
5483
    directory as seen by the package.
5484
 
5485
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
5486
 
5487
  * JAVA 6
5488
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
5489
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
5490
 
5491
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
5492
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
5493
 
5494
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
5495
 
5496
  * Jats command: vars
5497
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
5498
    These indicate potential problems.
5499
 
5500
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5501
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
5502
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5503
Major changes:
5504
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
5505
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
5506
    libarry is also created.
5507
 
5508
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
5509
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
5510
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
5511
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
5512
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
5513
    information contained within the file.
5514
 
5515
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
5516
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
5517
 
5518
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
5519
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
5520
 
5521
  * Building Perl Modules
5522
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
5523
    documentation on the build machine.
5524
 
5525
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
5526
 
5527
Minor changes:
5528
  * jats create_dpkg
5529
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
5530
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
5531
 
5532
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5533
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
5534
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5535
Major changes:
5536
  * JATS JAVA build target
5537
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
5538
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5539
 
5540
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5541
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5542
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5543
    is then picked up as the default version.
5544
 
5545
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5546
    build.pl file.
5547
 
5548
Minor changes:
5549
  * jats release
5550
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5551
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5552
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5553
 
5554
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5555
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5556
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5557
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5558
    the name of the view.
5559
 
5560
  * GenerateFiles directive
5561
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5562
 
5563
  * MOS Toolset
5564
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5565
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5566
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5567
 
5568
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5569
 
5570
 
5571
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5572
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5573
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5574
Major changes:
5575
 
5576
Minor changes:
5577
  * JATS environment
5578
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5579
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5580
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5581
 
5582
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5583
 
5584
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5585
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5586
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5587
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5588
    to be packaged.
5589
 
5590
  * Generated makefiles
5591
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5592
 
5593
  * Generating MOS THX files
5594
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5595
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5596
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5597
 
5598
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5599
 
5600
  * JATS release
5601
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5602
 
5603
  * JATS extract
5604
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5605
 
5606
  * JATS Toolset
5607
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5608
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5609
 
5610
 
5611
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5612
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5613
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5614
Major changes:
5615
 
5616
Minor changes:
5617
  * jats label
5618
    Added a -vob=name option
5619
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5620
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5621
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5622
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5623
 
5624
    Added a -user=name option
5625
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5626
    label to the named user.
5627
 
5628
  * jats release
5629
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5630
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5631
 
5632
  * JATS build.pl
5633
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5634
    ie:
5635
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5636
 
5637
 
5638
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5639
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5640
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5641
Major changes:
5642
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5643
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5644
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5645
    the makefile internals. ie:
5646
        --Var(BuildName)
5647
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5648
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5649
 
5650
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5651
 
5652
  * GenerateFiles
5653
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5654
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5655
 
5656
  * BuildPlatforms
5657
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5658
 
5659
Minor changes:
5660
  * GCC Toolset
5661
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5662
 
5663
Internal changes:
5664
  * GenerateFiles
5665
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5666
 
5667
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5668
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5669
 
5670
 
5671
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5672
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5674
Major changes:
5675
  * Caching JATS
5676
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5677
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5678
 
5679
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5680
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5681
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5682
 
5683
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5684
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5685
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5686
 
5687
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5688
 
5689
Minor changes:
5690
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5691
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5692
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5693
 
5694
  * jats build
5695
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5696
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5697
    processed by the build.
5698
 
5699
  * jats build
5700
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5701
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5702
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5703
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5704
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5705
 
5706
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5707
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5708
    Path is not specified.
5709
 
5710
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5711
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5712
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5713
        --Dir=$Pinc
5714
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5715
 
5716
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5717
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5718
    Windows platform.
5719
 
5720
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5721
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5722
            by 'purecov.
5723
 
5724
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5725
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5726
 
5727
        - OPTIONS=purify
5728
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5729
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5730
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.

5735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5736
Major changes:
5737
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5738
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5739
    Example:
5740
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5741
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5742
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5743
 
5744
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5745
    been determined.
5746
 
5747
Minor changes:
5748
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5749
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5750
    located at build-time.
5751
 
5752
  * Unix based systems
5753
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5754
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5755
 
5756
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5757
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5758
    driver being built.

5791
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5792
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5793
                      be run on every invocation.

5805
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5806
 
5807
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5808
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default

5820
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5821
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5822
    It is based on machine type.
5823
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5824
 
5825
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5826
 
5827

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5855
 
5856
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5857
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5858
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5859
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5860
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5861
 
5862
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5863
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5864
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5865
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5866
 
5867
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5868
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

5880
 
5881
 
5882
Minor changes:
5883
  * JATS wrapper script
5884
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5885
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5886
    to setup links to system programs.
5887

5909
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5910
        no_misalign         - Default
5911
 
5912
        multithread         - Default
5913
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking

        debug_debuginfo
5927
 
5928
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5929
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5930
    Theses are:
5931
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5932
        SOLARIS_AMD
5933
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5934
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5935
 
5936
Minor changes:
5937
  * AT3232 toolset
5938
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

Major changes:
5948
 
5949
Minor changes:
5950
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5951
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5952
    messages
5953
 
5954
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5955
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5956
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5957
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5958

5962
Major changes:
5963
 
5964
Minor changes:
5965
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5966
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5967
    library without creating the body of the library:
5968
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5969
 
5970
 
5971
  * MOS toolsets
5972
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5973
    library without creating the body of the library:
5974
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5975
 
5976
  * JATS BIN directories
5977
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5978
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5979
    using autoconf.
5980
 
5981
  * Generate directive
5982
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5983
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5984
 
5985
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5986

6000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6001
Major changes:
6002
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6003
    Initial release.
6004
 
6005
  * Packaging directives
6006
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6007
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6008
 
6009
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6010
        SOLARIS
6011
        WIN32
6012
 
6013
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6014
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6015
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6016
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6017
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6018
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6019
 
6020
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6021
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6022
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6023
 
6024
 
6025
Minor changes:
6026
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6027
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6028
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6029
 
6030
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6031
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6032
    location
6033
 
6034
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6035
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6036
 
6037
  * Utility genrc
6038
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6039
 
6040
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6041
    Added option: -new
6042
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6043
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6044
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6045
 
6046
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6047
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6048
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6049
 
6050
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6051
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6052
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6053
 
6054
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6055
   features - in a uniform manner.
6056
 
6057
 
6058
Internal Changes:
6059
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6060
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6061
 
6062
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6063
        1) Platform information available at build time
6064
        2) Dynamic platform names
6065
 
6066
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6067
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6068
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6069
 
6070
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6071
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6072
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6073
 
6074
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6075
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6076
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6077
    needed.
6078
 
6079
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6080
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6081
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6082
    files from all of these.
6083

6085
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

6087
Major changes:
6088
 
6089
Minor changes:

    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6092
 
6093
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6094
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6095
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6096
Major changes:
6097
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6098
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6099
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6100
 
6101
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6102
 
6103
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6104
    the operations.
6105
 
6106
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6107
 
6108
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6109
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6110
 
6111
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6112
 
6113
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6114
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6115
 
6116
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6117
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6118
    Extended the built-in help
6119
    Added useful error messages
6120
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6121
 
6122
  * WinCE toolset
6123
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6124
 
6125
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6126
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6127
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6128
 
6129
Minor changes:
6130
  * JATS wrapper script
6131
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6132
    the command line.
6133
 
6134
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6135
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6136
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6137
 
6138
Internal Changes:
6139
  * Common Error Reporting
6140
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6141
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6142
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6143
    level.
6144
 
6145
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6146
    displayed.
6147
 
6148
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6149

6172
 
6173
Minor changes:
6174
  * BR Compiler toolset
6175
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6176
    use.
6177
 
6178
 
6179
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6180
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6181
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6182
Major changes:
6183
 
6184
Minor changes:
6185
  * Mictotec toolset
6186
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6187
    builds.
6188
 
6189
  * JATS Core
6190
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6191
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6192
    behaviour.
6193
 
6194
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6195
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6196
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6197
Major changes:
6198
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6199
    Deployment package will be affected.
6200
 
6201
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6202
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6203
 
6204
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6205
 
6206
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6207
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6208
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6209
    packages.
6210
 
6211
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6212
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6213
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6214
 
6215
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6216
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6217
 
6218
Minor changes:
6219
  * SubDir directive
6220
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6221
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6222
 
6223
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6224
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6225
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6226
    of the file usage.
6227
 
6228
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6229
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6230
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6231
 
6232
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6233
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6234
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6235
 
6236
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6237
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6238
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6239
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6240
 
6241
 
6242
Internal Changes:
6243
  * Code refactor
6244
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6245
 
6246
  * Deployment utilities
6247
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6248
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6249
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6250
    the module can locate the file.
6251
 
6252
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6253
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6254
 
6255
  * JATS core
6256
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6257
 
6258
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6259
 
6260
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6261
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6262
    through the use of environment variables.
6263
 
6264
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6265
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6266
 
6267
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6268
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6269
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6270
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6271
 
6272
  * Make environment
6273
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6274
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6275
 
6276
 
6277
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6278
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6279
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6280
Major changes:
6281
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6282
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6283
 
6284
 
6285
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6286
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6287
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6288
 
6289
Not Released.
6290
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6291
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6292
 
6293
 
6294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6295
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6296
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6297
Major changes:
6298
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6299
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6300
    radically replaced.
6301
 
6302
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6303
    Usage:
6304
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6305
 
6306
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6307
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6308
    this solution:
6309
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6310
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6311
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6312
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6313
 
6314
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6315
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6316
    order to work.
6317
 
6318
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6319
    reduced functionality.
6320
 
6321
 
6322
Minor changes:
6323
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6324
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6325
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6326
 
6327
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6328
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6329
    within the makefiles.
6330
        Options:
6331
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6332
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6333
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6334
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6335
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6336
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6337
        Useage:
6338
 
6339
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6340
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6341
 
6342
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6343
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6344
    is not in the current directory.
6345
 
6346
  * Jats Command: ant'
6347
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6348
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6349
 
6350
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6351
 
6352
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6353
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6354
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6355
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6356
 
6357
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6358
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6359
    Thus
6360
 
6361
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6362
 
6363
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6364
 
6365
 
6366
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6367
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6368
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6369
Major changes:
6370
 
6371
Minor changes:
6372
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6373
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6374
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6375
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6376
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6377
 
6378
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6379
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6380
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6381
 
6382
Internal changes:
6383
  * JATS toolsets
6384
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6385
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6386
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6387
 
6388
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6389
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6390
 
6391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6392
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6394
Major changes:
6395
  * Jats command: etool
6396
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6397
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6398
 
6399
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6400
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6401
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6402
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6403
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6404
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6405
 
6406
Minor changes:
6407
 
6408
 
6409
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6410
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
6411
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6412
Major changes:
6413
  * JATS environment variables
6414
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
6415
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
6416
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
6417
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
6418
        will not publish packages in this repository.
6419
 
6420
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
6421
              Remote repository
6422
 
6423
    Added GBE_DPLY
6424
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
6425
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
6426
 
6427
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6428
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
6429
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
6430
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
6431
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
6432
 
6433
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
6434
    processed once and it will be processed last.
6435
 
6436
 
6437
Minor changes:
6438
  * JATS utility: build
6439
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
6440
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
6441
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
6442
 
6443
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
6444
    Ensure label is not locked
6445
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
6446
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
6447
 
6448
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
6449
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
6450
    to a specific type of build.
6451
 
6452
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
6453
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
6454
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
6455
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
6456
 
6457
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
6458
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
6459
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
6460
 
6461
  * JATS utility: release
6462
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
6463
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
6464
 
6465
  * JATS utility: label
6466
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
6467
    when it is being created.
6468
 
6469
Internal Changes
6470
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
6471
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
6472
 
6473
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
6474
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
6475
 
6476
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
6477
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
6478
    different results.
6479
 
6480
  * ToolsetRequire directive
6481
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
6482
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
6483
 
6484
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6485
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
6486
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6487
Major changes:
6488
 
6489
  * MCR toolset
6490
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
6491
 
6492
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6493
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
6494
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6495
Major changes:
6496
  * WIN32 utilities
6497
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
6498
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
6499
 
6500
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
6501
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
6502
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
6503
 
6504
Minor changes:
6505
  * BuildVersion
6506
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
6507
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
6508
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
6509
 
6510
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
6511
 
6512
  * Unix Builds
6513
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
6514
    library or a shared library.
6515
 
6516
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
6517
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
6518
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
6519
    start with 'lib'.
6520
 
6521
  * BuildPkgArchive
6522
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
6523
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
6524
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
6525
 
6526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6527
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
6528
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6529
Major changes:
6530
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6531
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
6532
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
6533
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
6534
    being manually maintained.
6535
 
6536
 
6537
Minor changes:
6538
  * MakeAnt directive
6539
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
6540
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
6541
    supports ANT builds.
6542
 
6543
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6544
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
6545
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
6546
 
6547
  * Label utility
6548
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
6549
    files to be labeled.
6550
 
6551
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
6552
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
6553
    on Solaris.
6554
 
6555
  * Generated makefiles
6556
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
6557
    nothing.
6558
 
6559
  * MOS Toolset
6560
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
6561
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
6562
    modules.
6563
 
6564
  * Utility: gen_cots
6565
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
6566
    and then check it in under clearcase.
6567
 
6568
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
6569
 
6570
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
6571
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.

6574
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
6575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6576
Major changes:
6577
  None
6578
 
6579
Minor changes:
6580
  * DEVI addressed
6581
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6582
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6583
 
6584
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6585
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6586
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6587
 
6588
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6589
 
6590
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6591
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6592
 
6593
  * RunTest directive
6594
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6595
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6596
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6597
 
6598
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6599
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6600
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6601
    packaged under JATS
6602
 
6603
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6604
          supported within JATS.
6605
 
6606
  * Jats utility wrapper
6607
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6608
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6609
 
6610
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6611
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6612
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6613
 
6614
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6615
    Eg: jats ant
6616
 
6617
  * Jats utility wrapper
6618
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6619
 
5710 dpurdie 6620
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6621
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6622
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6623
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6624
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6625
 
5710 dpurdie 6626
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6627
    expect a build.pl file.
6628
 
6629
  * Jats utility wrapper
6630
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6631
 
6632
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6633
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6634
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6635
 
6636
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6637
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6638
 
6639
  * Build files
6640
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6641
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6642
 
6643
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6644
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6645
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6646
Major changes:
6647
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6648
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6649
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6650
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6651
 
6652
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6653
 
6654
Minor changes:
6655
  * None
6656
 
6657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6658
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6659
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6660
Major changes:
6661
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6662
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6663
    ie:
6664
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6665
 
6666
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6667
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6668
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6669
    environments are compatible.
6670
 
6671
 
6672
Minor changes:
6673
  * BuildName option
6674
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6675
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6676
 
6677
  * jats.bat
6678
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6679
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6680
 
6681
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6682
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6684
Major changes:
6685
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6686
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6687
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6688
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6689
 
6690
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6691
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6692
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6693
 
6694
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6695
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6696
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6697
 
6698
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6699
    transferred.
6700
 
6701
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6702
    See notes below.
6703
 
6704
  * WIN32 toolset
6705
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6706
    correctly.
6707
 
6708
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6709
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6710
 
6711
  * BuildVersion
6712
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6713
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6714
    other langauges as needed.
6715
 
6716
 
6717
Minor changes:
6718
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6719
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6720
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6721
    version strings.
6722
 
6723
  * GenerateFiles directive
6724
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6725
    package or an imported package.
6726
 
6727
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6728
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6729
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6730
 
6731
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6732
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6733
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6734
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6735
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6736
 
6737
Internal Changes
6738
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6739
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6740
    of utilities.
6741
 
6742
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6743
    functions.
6744
 
6745
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6746
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6747
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6748
Major changes:
6749
  * Generated makefiles
6750
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6751
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6752
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6753
 
6754
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6755
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6756
    incorrectly processing:
6757
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6758
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6759
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6760
    confused.
6761
 
6762
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6763
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6764
    The construct
6765
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6766
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6767
    then it works.
6768
 
6769
  * MakeAnt directive
6770
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6771
 
6772
    This option has the following effects
6773
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6774
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6775
 
6776
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6777
           early - in the generated files phase.
6778
 
6779
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6780
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6781
 
6782
 
6783
Minor changes:
6784
  * JATS post-installation script
6785
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6786
 
6787
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6788
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6789
    windows.
6790
 
6791
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6792
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6793
 
6794
  * Jats wrapper script
6795
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6796
        1) Contain spaces
6797
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6798
 
6799
  * Toolset
6800
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6801
 
6802
  * JAVA toolset
6803
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6804
    directive:
6805
 
6806
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6807
 
6808
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6809
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6810
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6811
 
6812
  * GCC Toolset
6813
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6814
 
6815
  * Makefile generation
6816
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6817
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6818
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6819
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6820
    package could not be used.
6821
 
6822
  * Unit Tests
6823
    The following environment variables are set:
6824
 
6825
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6826
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6827
 
6828
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6829
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6830
 
6831
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6832
 
6833
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6834
 
6835
 
6836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6837
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6838
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6839
Major changes:
6840
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6841
 
6842
    Special features of this toolset.
6843
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6844
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6845
       incorporated within the target image.
6846
 
6847
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6848
       --Set=Name=Value
6849
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6850
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6851
 
6852
       --Ref=name
6853
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6854
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6855
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6856
                will be taken from the build version number.
6857
 
6858
Minor changes:
6859
  * MOS Toolset
6860
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6861
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6862
    packaged.
6863
 
6864
  * Src directive
6865
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6866
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6867
    specifier.
6868
 
6869
  * WIN32 runtime support
6870
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6871
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6872
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6873
 
6874
Internal:
6875
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6876
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6877
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6878
 
6879
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6880
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6881
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6882
Major changes:
6883
    * BuildAlias directive
6884
      Added options.
6885
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6886
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6887
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6888
                          targets.
6889
      Eg:
6890
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6891
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6892
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6893
 
6894
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6895
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6896
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6897
 
6898
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6899
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6900
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6901
 
6902
 
6903
Minor changes:
6904
  * Label utility
6905
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6906
    build.pl file
6907
 
6908
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6909
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6910
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6911
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6912
    --FilterIn option.
6913
 
6914
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6915
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6916
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6917
 
6918
  * Location of descpkg file
6919
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6920
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6921
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6922
 
6923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6924
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6925
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6926
Major changes:
6927
  * RunTest directive
6928
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6929
    Additional options
6930
      --CopyIn=file
6931
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6932
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6933
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6934
        the test area.
6935
 
6936
    Additional operations
6937
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6938
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6939
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6940
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6941
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6942
    Allows flags:
6943
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6944
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6945
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6946
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6947
 
6948
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6949
    existence is tested.
6950
 
6951
  * Packaging Directives
6952
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6953
    such as LMOS.
6954
 
6955
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6956
 
6957
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6958
 
6959
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6960
 
6961
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6962
 
6963
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6964
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6965
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6966
 
6967
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6968
 
6969
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6970
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6971
 
6972
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6973
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6974
 
6975
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6976
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6977
 
6978
Minor changes:
6979
  * Script directive
6980
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6981
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6982
 
6983
  * JATS environment
6984
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6985
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6986
    the JATS wrapper script.
6987
 
6988
  * Label utility
6989
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6990
    There are three modes of operation:
6991
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6992
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6993
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
6994

6997
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6998
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6999
Major changes:
7000
 
7001
Minor changes:
7002
  * label utility
7003
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7004
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7005
 
7006
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7007
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7008
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7009
      --ProgLoader=name
7010
 
7011
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7012
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7013
    Options to do this are:
7014
        --TreeDir=name
7015
        --FilterOut=regexp
7016
        --FilterIn=regexp
7017
        --StripDir
7018
 
7019
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7020
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7021
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7022
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7023
 
7024
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7025
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7026
 
7027
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7028
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7029
 
7030
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7031
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7032
 
7033
 
7034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7035
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7036
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7037
Major changes:
7038
    * Make commands
7039
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7040
 
7041
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7042
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7043
 
7044
    * Label utility
7045
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7046
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7047
 
7048
Minor changes:
7049
    * Toolsets
7050
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7051
      variables and overrides.
7052
 
7053
      The make_init target is always run.
7054
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7055
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7056
 
7057
    * Deployment
7058
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7059
      with deployment operations.
7060
 
7061
    * Release utility
7062
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7063
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7064
      restricted by options within the build.
7065
 
7066
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7067
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7068
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7069
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7070
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7071
 
7072
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7073
      directives.
7074
 
7075
    * MakeProject directive
7076
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7077
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7078
 
7079
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7080
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7081
      is preserved.
7082
 
7083
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7084
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7085
      statements.
7086
 
7087
    * Mugfile generation
7088
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7089
      be placed in the target package.
7090
 
7091
 
7092
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7093
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7094
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7095
Major changes:
7096
    * BuildVersion directive
7097
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7098
      number as well as a patch number.
7099
 
7100
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7101
      number.
7102
 
7103
Minor changes:
7104
    * AddFlags directives
7105
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7106
      duplicate flags being added.
7107
 
7108
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7109
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7110
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7111
 
7112
    * Mug File Generation
7113
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7114
 
7115
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7116
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7117
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7118
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7119
     directory.
7120
 
7121
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7122
     reproducible.
7123
 
7124
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7125
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7126
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7127
Major changes:
7128
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7129
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7130
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7131
      longer a list of directories.
7132
 
7133
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7134
      done within the toolset.
7135
 
7136
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7137
 
7138
    * JATS environment variables
7139
      Redefined variable
7140
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7141
                          Previously was a list that included the
7142
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7143
 
7144
      New variable
7145
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7146
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7147
 
7148
 
7149
Minor changes:
7150
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7151
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7152
      target platforms to be extracted.
7153
 
7154
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7155
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7156
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7157
 
7158
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7159
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7160
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7161
 
7162
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7163
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7164
 
7165
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7166
      Support ANT based XML files
7167
 
7168
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7169
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7170
      structure.
7171
 
7172
    * makefile.pl's
7173
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7174
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7175
 
7176
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7177
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7178
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7179
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7180
 
7181
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7182
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7183
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7184
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7185
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7186
      -- Auto.
7187
 
7188
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7189
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7190
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7191
 
7192
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7193
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7194
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7195
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7196
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7197
 
7198
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7199
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7200
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7201
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7202
      installed on the machine.
7203
 
7204
    * WINCE Targets
7205
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7206
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7207
 
7208

7211
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7213
Major changes:
7214
    * WIN32 platforms
7215
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7216
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7217
      and installed packages.
7218
 
7219
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7220
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7221
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7222
 
7223
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7224
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7225
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7226
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7227
      searched when looking for libraries.
7228
 
7229
Minor changes:
7230
    * GenerateFiles directive
7231
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7232
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7233
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7234
                          and drive letter
7235
 
7236
    * Src directive
7237
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7238
      directory of a package.
7239
 
7240
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7241
 
7242
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7243
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7244
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7245
 
7246
    * jats_rewrite utility
7247
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7248
 
7249
 
7250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7251
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7252
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7253
Major changes:
7254
    * SunWorks production builds
7255
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7256
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7257
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7258
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7259
      compiler documentation.
7260
 
7261
    * MOS Toolset
7262
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7263
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7264
 
7265
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7266
 
7267
Minor changes:
7268
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7269
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7270
      This should not affect current users.
7271
 
7272
    * Mugfile generation
7273
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7274
      specified.
7275
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7276
 
7277

7278
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7279
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7280
Major changes:
7281
    MOS Toolset
7282
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7283
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7284
 
7285
Minor changes:
7286
    * Jats wrapper script
7287
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7288
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7289
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7290
 
7291
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7292
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7293
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7294
      may be suspect.
7295
 
7296
    * GenerateFiles directive
7297
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7298
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7299
 
7300
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7301
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7303
Major changes:
7304
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7305
      build.xml files.
7306
 
7307
Minor changes:
7308
    * WIN32 toolset.
7309
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7310
 
7311
    * MakeAnt
7312
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7313
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7314
 
7315
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7316
 
7317
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7318
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7319
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7320
 
7321
    * MakeAnt directive
7322
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7323
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7324
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7325
 
7326
      Recommended usage:
7327
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7328
 
7329
Internal Changes
7330
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7331

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7336
Major changes:
7337
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7338
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7339
      files packaged into the release.

7345
 
7346
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7347
      The recommended platform is:
7348
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7349
 
7350
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7351
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7352
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7353
      components.

7360
Minor changes:
7361
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7362
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7363
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7364
      by the package to be accessed.
7365
 
7366
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7367
      application or visual studio.
7368
 
7369
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7370
      and the JATS Core path.
7371
 
7372
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7373
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7374
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7375
 
7376
    * MOS Toolset
7377
      Add support for the TPT device
7378
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7379
 
7380
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7381
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7382
 
7383
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7384
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7385
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7386
 
7387
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7388
 
7389
Internal Changes
7390
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7391
      in jats.pl
7392
 
7393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7394
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7395
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7396
Major changes:
7397
    * JATS wrapper script
7398
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7399
 
7400
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7401
 
7402
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7403
 
7404
Minor changes:
7405
    * Deployment support
7406
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7407
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7408
 
7409
    * 'build'
7410
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
7411
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
7412
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
7413
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
7414
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
7415
 
7416
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
7417
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
7418
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
7419
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
7420
                                      the link phase.
7421
 
7422
    * BuildPkgArchive
7423
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
7424
      Previously these were ignored.
7425
      Minor code cleanup
7426
 
7427
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
7428
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
7429
      Manager "Source Path" field.
7430
 
7431
    * SOLARIS targets
7432
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
7433
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
7434
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
7435
 
7436
    * MugFile generation
7437
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
7438
      included in the final package.
7439
 
7440
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
7441
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
7442
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
7443
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
7444
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
7445
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
7446
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
7447
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
7448
 
7449
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
7450
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
7451
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
7452
            --Option=(some_text)
7453
            --Option=[some_text]
7454
            --Option={some_text}
7455
 
7456
Internal Changes
7457
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
7458
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
7459
      code.
7460
 
7461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7462
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
7463
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7464
Major changes:
7465
    * JATS wrapper script
7466
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
7467
 
7468
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
7469
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
7470
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
7471
      other components.
7472
 
7473
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
7474
 
7475
    * JATS
7476
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
7477
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
7478
 
7479
    * Build operations
7480
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
7481
      if required packages are built against different versions of
7482
      packages.
7483
 
7484
    * Make operations
7485
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
7486
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
7487
 
7488
Minor changes:
7489
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
7490
      deployment builds.
7491
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
7492
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
7493
 
7494
      Extended the "jats vars" display
7495
 
7496
    * build.pl
7497
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
7498
        processed. Allows
7499
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
7500
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
7501
        production.
7502
 
7503
    * MOS toolset
7504
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
7505
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
7506
 
7507
    * create_dpkg utility
7508
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
7509
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
7510
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
7511
      progress of the build.
7512
 
7513
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
7514
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
7515
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
7516
      system.
7517
 
7518
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7519
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
7520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7521
Major changes:
7522
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7523
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
7524
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
7525
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
7526
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
7527
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
7528
 
7529
    * WCEX86A500 target
7530
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
7531
 
7532
    * MOS Toolsets
7533
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
7534
      the compiler.
7535
 
7536
    * RunTest directive
7537
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
7538
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7539
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7540
 
7541
Minor changes:
7542
    * JATS BUILD
7543
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7544
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7545
      highlight bad settings.
7546
 
7547
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7548
      access to extensions.
7549
 
7550
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7551
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7552
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7553
Major changes:
7554
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7555
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7556
 
7557
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7558
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7559
      under unix.
7560
 
7561
Minor changes:
7562
    * label utility
7563
      Added options to:
7564
        o Delete a label
7565
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7566
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7567
 
7568
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7569
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7570
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7571
      Package directives.
7572
 
7573
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7574
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7575
      system.
7576
 
7577
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7578
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7579
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7580
Major changes:
7581
    * MOS Toolset
7582
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7583
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7584
 
7585
    * WIN32 Toolset
7586
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7587
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7588
      list.
7589
 
7590
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7591
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7592
 
7593
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7594
 
7595
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7596
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7597
 
7598
 
7599
Minor changes:
7600
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7601
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7602
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7603
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7604
      corrected.
7605
 
7606
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7607
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7608
 
7609
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7610
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7611
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7612
 
7613
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7614
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7615
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7616
Major changes:
7617
    * WIN32 Toolset
7618
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7619
      use with multithreaded modes.
7620
 
7621
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7622
      --OnlyProd.
7623
 
7624
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7625
      within the makefile.pl.
7626
 
7627
Minor changes:
7628
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7629
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7630
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7631
      platforms.
7632
 
7633
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7634
 
7635
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7636
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7637
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7638
Major changes:
7639
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7640
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7641
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7642
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7643
 
7644
    * Preliminary Support
7645
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7646
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7647
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7648
 
7649
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7650
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7651
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7652
 
7653
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7654
      building. The default build will build both.
7655
 
7656
Minor changes:
7657
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7658
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7659
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7660
 
7661
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7662
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7663
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7664
 
7665
 
7666
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7667
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7668
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7669
Major changes:
7670
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7671
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7672
      or all.
7673
 
7674
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7675
      the library or program.
7676
 
7677
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7678
 
7679
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7680
      library or any debug files.
7681
 
7682
    * GenerateFiles
7683
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7684
 
7685
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7686
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7687
 
7688
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7689
              The filename of the prereq file
7690
 
7691
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7692
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7693
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7694
 
7695
 
7696
Minor changes:
7697
    * create_dpkg utility
7698
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7699
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7700
      the package has been altered.
7701
 
7702
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7703
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
7704
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7705
Major changes:
7706
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7707
      This is a WINCE target
7708
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7709
 
7710
    * New toolset
7711
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7712
 
7713
    * Modified toolset
7714
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7715
 
7716
    * Modified toolset
7717
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7718
 
7719
Minor changes:
7720
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7721
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7722
 
7723
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7724
 
7725
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7726
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7727
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7728
 
7729
      The change allows the construct
7730
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7731
      to be replaced by the simpler
7732
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7733
 
7734
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7735
      specified name.

    * The "package.pl" file.
7758
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7759
      package name being taken from the build name
7760
 
7761
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7762
      package Build Name.
7763
 
7764
Minor changes:
7765
    * create_dpkg utility
7766
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7767
 
7768

7770
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7771
Major changes:
7772
 
7773
Minor changes:
7774
    * Dependancy generator
7775
      Correct two common situations
7776
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7777
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7778
           ansi, but is often done.
7779
 
7780
    * GCC toolset
7781
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7782
      being created in the correct place.
7783
 
7784
    * jats "label"
7785
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7786
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7787
 
7788
 
7789
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7790
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7791
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7792
Major changes:
7793
 
7794
Minor changes:
7795
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7796
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7797
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7798
 
7799
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7800
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7801
 
7802
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7803
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7804
      package was not being transferred.
7805
 
7806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7807
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7808
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7809
Major changes:
7810
    * Support for solaris_i386
7811
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7812
      binaries for this target.
7813
 
7814
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7815
      with the GCC compiler.
7816
 
7817
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7818
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7819
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7820
 
7821
Minor changes:
7822
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7823
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7824
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7825
 
7826
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7827
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7828
 
7829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7830
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7832
Major changes:
7833
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7834
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7835
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7836
 
7837
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7838
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7839
 
7840
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7841
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7842
      with either " or ' characters.
7843
 
7844
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7845
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7846
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7847
 
7848
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7849
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7850
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7851
 
7852
    * Jats wrapper
7853
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7854
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7855
      further commands.
7856
 
7857
Minor changes:
7858
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7859
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7860
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7861
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7862
 
7863
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7864
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7865
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7866
Major changes:
7867
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7868
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7869
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7870
 
7871
      These options operation affect all components within the
7872
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7873
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7874
 
7875
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7876
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7877
 
7878
Minor changes:
7879
 
7880
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7881
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7882
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7883
Major changes:
7884
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7885
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7886
 
7887
Minor changes:
7888
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7889
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7890
 
7891
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7892
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7893
 
7894
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7895
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7896
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7897
Major changes:
7898
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7899
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7900
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7901
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7902
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7903
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7904
      installed.
7905
 
7906
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7907
      libraries that depend on each other.
7908
 
7909
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7910
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7911
 
7912
Minor changes:
7913
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7914
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7915
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7916
 
7917
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7918
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7919
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7920
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7921
 
7922
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7923
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7924
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7925
Major changes:
7926
 
7927
Minor changes:
7928
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7929
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7930
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7931
      file.
7932
 
7933
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7934
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7935
 
7936
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7937
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7938
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7939
 
7940
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7941
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7942
 
7943
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7944
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7945
 
7946
    * WinCE toolsets
7947
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7948
      compiler specific libraries.
7949
 
7950
    * SOLARIS toolset
7951
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7952
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7953
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7954
 
7955
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7956
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7957
      cleaned up.
7958
 
7959
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7960
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7961
 
7962
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7963
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7964
      with either " or ' characters.
7965
 
7966

Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7969
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7970
Major changes:
7971
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7972
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7973
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7974
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7975
 
7976
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7977
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7978
 
7979
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7980
      user.
7981
 
7982
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7983
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7984
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7985
 
7986
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7987
      for the   -Gf option.
7988
 
7989
Minor changes:
7990
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7991
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7992
 
7993
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7994
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7995
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7996
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7997
 
7998
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7999
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8001
Major changes:
8002
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8003
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8004
 
8005
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8006
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8007
      data addresses for the board.
8008
 
8009
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8010
 
8011
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8012
 
8013
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8014
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8015
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8016
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8017
         PackageFile
8018
 
8019
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8020
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8021
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8022
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8023
 
8024
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8025
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8026
      to be installed and packaged.
8027
 
8028
Minor changes:
8029
 
8030
    * cache_dpkg utility
8031
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8032
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8033
 
8034
    * label utility
8035
      New option -auto to create and label
8036
 
8037
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8038
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8039
 
8040
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8041
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8042
      directory. ie:
8043
 
8044
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8045
 
8046
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8047
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8048
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8049
 
8050
 
8051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8052
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8053
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8054
Major changes:
8055
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8056
 
8057
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8058
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8059
 
8060
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8061
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8062
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8063
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8064
 
8065
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8066
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8067
      compilation.
8068
 
8069
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8070
 
8071
Minor changes:
8072
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8073
      one is being produced.
8074
 
8075
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8076
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8077
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8078
 
8079
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8080
 
8081
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8082
 
8083
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8084
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8085
 
8086
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8087
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8088
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8089
Major changes:
8090
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8091
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8092
 
8093
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8094
 
8095
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8096
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8097
      same directory
8098
 
8099
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8100
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8101
      documenattion.
8102
 
8103
Minor changes:
8104
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8105
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8106
 
8107
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8108
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8109
 
8110
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8111
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8112
 
8113
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8114
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8115
 
8116
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8117
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8118
      be exempt from this test.
8119
 
8120
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8121
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8122
 
8123
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8124
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8125
 
8126
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8127
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8128
      does.
8129
 
8130
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8131
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8132
 
8133
 
8134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8135
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8136
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8137
Major changes:
8138
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8139
 
8140
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8141
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8142
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8143
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8144
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8145
 
8146
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8147
      operations.
8148
 
8149
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.

8151
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8152
 
8153
Minor changes
8154
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8155
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8156
 
8157
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8158
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8159
      directory is not added to the library path.
8160
 
8161
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8162
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8163
 
8164
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8165
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8166
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8167
 
8168
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8169
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8170
      specific flags.
8171
 
8172
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8173
 
8174
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8175
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8176
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8177
 
8178
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8179
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8180
      JATS.
8181
 
8182
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8183
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8184
 
8185
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8186
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8187
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8188
 
8189
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8190
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8191
 
8192
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8193
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8194
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8195
 
8196
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8197
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8198
 
8199
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8200
 
8201
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8202
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8203
 
8204
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8205
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8206
      objects.
8207
 
8208
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8209
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8210
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8211
      build defendants.
