		328	`It could also have been written as:`
		329	`PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)`
		330	`but NOT as:`
		331	`PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)`

		3103	`Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32`
		3104	`It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only`
		3105	`available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one`
		3106	`machine type.`

		3109	`Version: 2.82.0000.cr Released: 18-Jan-10`
		3110	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3111	`Major changes:`
315	dpurdie	3112	`* New Build Platform: VB6`
		3113	`Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp`
		3114	`project files.`
		3115
		3116	`* Build Directive BuildVersion.`
		3117	`This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a`
		3118	`form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'`
		3119
		3120	`Minor changes:`
		3121	`* Added more internal documentation`
		3122	`Use jats help to see available documentation`

		3130
		3131	`* Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds`
		3132	`All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)`
		3133	`This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared`
		3134	`libraries.`
		3135
		3136	`* Solaris builds`
		3137	`Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before`
		3138	`the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing`
		3139	`dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause`
		3140	`of the build failure.`
		3141
		3142
		3143	`Internal changes:`
		3144	`* Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program`

		3153	`Major changes:`
		3154	`* Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets`
		3155	`Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64`

		3171
		3172	`* jats help`

		3207	`Useful side effects include:`
		3208
		3209	`JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included`
		3210	`with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.`
		3211
		3212	`[DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,`
		3213	`simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.`
		3214
		3215	`[DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other`
		3216	`tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a`

		3218
313	dpurdie	3219	`* Perl Modules`
		3220	`Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS`
		3221	`release. This will:`

		3237
		3238	`* Jats label utility`
		3239	`Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors`
		3240
		3241	`Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that`
		3242	`the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find`
		3243	`new files and folders to label - there should be none.`
		3244
		3245	`* Jats core`
		3246	`Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow`

		3259
309	dpurdie	3260	`The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered`
307	dpurdie	3261	`in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile`
309	dpurdie	3262	`to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.`
307	dpurdie	3263
		3264	`* WCEPSION_500_VS2005`

		3292
		3293	`WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the`
		3294	`WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.`

		3305	`Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.`
		3306
		3307	`* MOS builds`
		3308	`If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address`

		3334
		3335	`* H8S toolset`
		3336	`Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.`
		3337
		3338	`If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot`

		3340
		3341	`Internal changes`

		3369	`as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if`
		3370	`this occurs.`
		3371
		3372	`* The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.`
		3373	`This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'`

		3375	`automated build framework.`
		3376

		3389	`* Jats Command line and -java option`
		3390	`This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into`

		3457	`Borlands Delphi Version 7.`
		3458
		3459	`See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options`
		3460	`to the Prog and SharedLib directives.`
		3461
		3462	`This toolset has a number of limitations:`
		3463	`1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single`
		3464	`makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library`
		3465	`names cannot be changed.`
		3466
		3467	`2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated`
		3468	`artifacts is very simplistic.`
		3469
		3470	`Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the`
		3471	`name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.`
		3472	`ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );`
		3473	`Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'`
		3474
		3475	`Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk`
		3476	`file.`
		3477	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyPackage' );`
		3478	`will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file`
		3479	`MyPackage.dpk.`
		3480
		3481	`Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr`
		3482	`file.`
		3483	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyDll' );`
		3484	`will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file`
		3485	`MyDll.dpr.`
		3486
		3487	`Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr`
		3488	`file.`
		3489	`ie: Prog ( '*', 'MyProg' );`
		3490	`will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file`
		3491	`MyProg.dpr.`
		3492
		3493	`Minor changes:`
		3494	`* New EnvVar: DELPHI7`
		3495	`Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the`

		3497	`c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7`
		3498
		3499	`* BuildVersion directive`
		3500	`Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information`
		3501	`in a Delphi Unit.`
		3502
		3503	`Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.`
		3504	`If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files`
		3505	`will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will`
		3506	`'know' the location of the files.`
		3507
		3508	`* Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs`
		3509	`Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.`
		3510
		3511	`Internal Changes:`
		3512	`* ToolsetSHLD functions`
		3513	`Pass in the shared library version string as an argument`
		3514	`Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner`
		3515	`that is decoupled from the toolsets.`
		3516
		3517	`* Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries`
		3518	`merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets`
		3519	`and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.`

		3528
289	dpurdie	3529	`* Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password`

287	dpurdie	3531
289	dpurdie	3532	`NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order`

		3534	`Manager`
287	dpurdie	3535
		3536	`Minor changes:`
		3537	`* The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the`

		4551	`Version: 2.72.00000.cr Released: 11-Jan-08`
		4552	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4553	`Major changes:`
229	dpurdie	4554	`* Jats Release Mechanism`
		4555	`Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its`
		4556	`internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be`
		4557	`released using the 'standard' mechanism.`
		4558
		4559	`Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.`
		4560
		4561	`A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align`
		4562	`itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.`
		4563
		4564	`* Running Jats`
		4565	`Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.`
		4566	`Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.`

		4572	`Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.`
		4573
		4574	`Minor changes:`
		4575	`* Perl Version Check`
		4576	`Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer`
		4577	`than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward`
		4578	`compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.`
		4579
		4580	`* Build Directive: BuildVersion`
		4581	`This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'`

		4583	`build.`
		4584
		4585	`* Jats Internals`

		4587	`Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.`
		4588
		4589	`* Jats Tool: CCbc2`
		4590	`Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two`
		4591	`packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views`
		4592	`and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the`
		4593	`process.`
		4594
		4595	`Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.`
		4596	`Only works under Windows.`

		4598	`Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.`
		4599

		4603	`* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat`
		4604	`Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported`
		4605	`into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.`
		4606
		4607	`* Jats eprog`
		4608	`Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current`
		4609	`directory.`
		4610
		4611	`* jats tool jats_metrics`

		4621	`* Jats Tool: create_dpkg`
		4622	`Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and`
		4623	`version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the`

		4625	`-pname=Package_Name`
		4626	`-pversion=Package_Version`
		4627
		4628	`Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without`

		4630	`-test`
		4631
		4632	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`

		4637	`a space separated or a comma separated list.`
		4638
		4639	`* Solaris Toolset`
		4640	`Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared`
		4641	`libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable`
		4642	`programs are still supported.`
		4643
		4644	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4645	`Version: 2.71.5.cr Released: 07-Dec-07`

		4647	`Major changes:`
		4648
		4649	`Minor changes:`
		4650	`* WINCE toolsets`
		4651	`Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset`
		4652	`This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been`
		4653	`installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers`
		4654	`when header files cannot be found.`
		4655
		4656	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		4657	`If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make`
		4658	`it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames`
		4659	`that are difficult to solve.`
		4660
		4661	`* MakePerlModule directive`
		4662	`Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed`
		4663	`to the the module builder.`

		4668	`-dirs=xxx options.`
		4669
		4670	`* Jats Tool: release`
		4671	`Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the`
		4672	`build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.`
		4673
		4674	`Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be`
		4675	`used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.`
		4676
		4677	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`
		4678	`Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be`
		4679	`uploaded to CodeStriker.`
		4680
		4681	`Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.`

		4726	`Minor changes:`
		4727	`* Makefile generation`
		4728	`Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target`

		4764	`available within the current build.`
		4765
		4766	`* jats makefiles`
		4767	`Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the`
		4768	`MakefileGenerate() directive are found.`
		4769
		4770	`If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.`
		4771	`pl, then it will be ignored.`
		4772
		4773	`* gcc toolset`
		4774	`SharedLibries.`

		4790	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4791	`Version: 2.71.1.cr Released: 16-Oct-07`
		4792	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4793	`Major changes:`
		4794
		4795	`Minor changes:`
		4796	`PackageLib directive`
		4797	`The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.`
		4798	`Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.`
		4799	`Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.`
		4800
		4801	`MakefileGenerate directive`
		4802	`This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,`
		4803	`and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.`
		4804
		4805	`Multiple Parent detection`
		4806	`A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the`
		4807	`build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is`
		4808	`normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this`
		4809	`condition will be treated as a warning.`
		4810
		4811	`Solaris Toolset`
		4812	`Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.`
		4813	`When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will`
		4814	`cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the`
		4815	`link.`
		4816
		4817	`Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the`
		4818	`misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an`
		4819	`indication that this is a bad thing to do.`
		4820
		4821	`Make and generation of subdirectories`
		4822	`Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.`
		4823	`This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency`
		4824	`file.`
		4825
		4826	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4827	`Version: 2.71.0.cr Released: 10-Oct-07`
		4828	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4829	`Major changes:`
		4830	`Makefile generation and make recursion`
		4831	`Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by`
		4832	`which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.`
		4833
		4834	`Summary of changes:`
		4835	`- Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories`
		4836	`and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program that performs`
		4837	`the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for`
		4838	`flexibility.`
		4839
		4840	`The user interface remains identical: jats make ....`
		4841
		4842	`- Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text`
		4843	`file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the`
		4844	`interface directory and associated build information.`
		4845
		4846	`- Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.`
		4847	`On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less`
		4848	`than one second.`
		4849
		4850	`- Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent`
		4851	`building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for`
		4852	`each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every`
		4853	`makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity`
		4854	`testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the`
		4855	`toolset. It is an expensive operation.`
		4856
		4857	`- Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism`
		4858	`for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,`
		4859	`rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.`
		4860
		4861	`- Better makefile rebuilding`
		4862	`Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to`
		4863	`detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-`
		4864	`building them.`
		4865
		4866	`- Detection of build file changes`
		4867	`The make process will detect that the build file has been modified`
		4868	`and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It`
		4869	`does not prevent the 'make' operation.`
		4870
		4871	`- Quieter make output`
		4872	`The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.`
		4873
		4874
		4875	`Minor changes:`
		4876	`MakeAnt Directive`
		4877	`Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5`
		4878
		4879	`JATS command "debug" and "prod"`
		4880	`These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:`
		4881	`jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args`
		4882	`Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution`
		4883	`display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.`
		4884
		4885	`CSHARP toolset`
		4886	`Correctly detect missing compiler directories`

		4898	`If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.`
		4899	`Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.`

		4981	`* Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path`
		4982	`Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.`
		4983

		4987
		4988	`For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:`
		4989
		4990	`1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl`

		5013	`Major changes:`
		5014
		5015	`Minor changes:`
		5016	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5017	`Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the`
		5018	`dependent packages.`
		5019
		5020	`* RunTest operation`
		5021	`Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.`

		5026	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5027	`Version: JATS_2.68.0 Released: 20-Aug-07`
		5028	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5029	`Major changes:`
		5030	`* Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)`
		5031
		5032	`It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and`
		5033	`javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was`
		5034	`normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages`
		5035	`were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search`
		5036	`path.`
		5037
		5038	`JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt`
		5039	`directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and`
		5040	`reproducible.`
		5041
		5042	`This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.`
		5043	`This is better than building incorrectly.`
		5044
		5045	`There are several aspects to the change`
		5046	`1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If`
		5047	`the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the`
		5048	`PATH then these will be used and report an error.`
		5049
		5050	`2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build`
		5051	`Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.`
		5052	`Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is`
		5053	`controlled separately.`
		5054
		5055	`Minor changes:`
		5056	`* Sanitize the PATH environment variable`
		5057	`Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched`
		5058	`Remove duplicates`
		5059	`Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH`
		5060
		5061	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5062	`Version: JATS_2.67.1 Released: 17-Aug-07`
		5063	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5064	`Major changes:`
		5065
		5066	`Minor changes:`
		5067	`* Makefile sanity test`
		5068	`Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are`
		5069	`not then run on a machine of a different type.`
		5070
		5071	`This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-`
		5072	`x86 machine.`
		5073
		5074	`* Correct bug in RunTest`
		5075	`RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory`

		5077	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5078	`Version: JATS_2.67.0 Released: 13-Aug-07`
		5079	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5080	`Major changes:`
		5081	`* RunTest directive`
		5082	`Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the`
		5083	`CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing`
		5084	`toolset specific test frameworks has been added.`
		5085
		5086	`Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.`
		5087	`The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option`
		5088	`--FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program`
		5089	`under test will be passed to the framework. program.`
		5090
		5091	`If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework`
		5092	`builder within the current toolset.`
		5093
		5094	`When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:`
		5095	`'--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.`
		5096
		5097	`With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit`
		5098	`will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile`
		5099	`containing the RunTest directive.`
		5100
		5101	`The Nunit Framework supports the following options:`
		5102	`--Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+`
		5103
		5104	`This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will`
		5105	`be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external`
		5106	`package or the components 'local' lib directory.`
		5107
		5108	`SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:`
		5109	`--NonJats This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a`
		5110	`P or D suffix.`
		5111	`--Jats (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will`
		5112	`select the correct library type for this build.`
		5113
		5114	`Minor changes:`
		5115	`* New Cache cleanup mechanism`
		5116	`When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within`
		5117	`the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to`
		5118	`the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are`
		5119	`frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.`
		5120
		5121	`* Save Build Utility`
		5122	`This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file`
		5123	`used in a ripple build.`
		5124
		5125	`The utility has been enhanced to detect a reserved checkout of the`
		5126	`build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.`
		5127
		5128	`* Release Utility`
		5129	`The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked`
		5130	`when an error is encountered.`
		5131
		5132	`This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be`
		5133	`unlocked if a build error occurs.`
		5134
		5135	`* Jats caching local copy of itself`
		5136	`Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message`
		5137	`being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.`
		5138
		5139	`* Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step`
		5140	`before the makefiles are created.`
		5141
		5142	`* TestProg directive`
		5143	`TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs`
		5144
		5145	`* Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with`
		5146	`a 'space' or '$' in the file name.`

		5163
		5164	`Minor changes:`
		5165	`* Added utility class to provide directory searching`

		5169	`Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs`
		5170
		5171	`Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx`
		5172	`and .cs files.`
		5173
		5174	`Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right`
		5175	`thing.`
		5176
		5177	`* Microtec ColdFire compiler`
		5178	`Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a`
		5179	`local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control`
		5180	`were it places temp files.`
		5181
		5182	`Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected`
		5183	`interaction with other builds.`
		5184
		5185	`* Release utility command`
		5186	`Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create`
		5187	`multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique`
		5188	`component in the clearcase tag name.`

		5277	`Major changes:`
		5278	`* Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended`

		5280	`the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.`
		5281
		5282	`* GenerateFiles`
		5283	`Added the options:`
		5284	`--UnknownPreq - Will force the recipe to be run every time`

		5288
		5289	`--AutoGenerate - Will not force the recipe to be run during the`

		5300	`* GCC Toolset`
		5301	`Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent`

		5365	`The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.`

		5391	`run_unit_tests phase.`
		5392
		5393	`* Sandbox support`
		5394	`Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox`
		5395	`Will remain undocumented until fully implemented`
		5396
		5397	`Minor changes:`
		5398	`* jats build`
		5399	`Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of`
		5400	`platforms that will be 'built'.`
		5401
		5402	`This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		5403
		5404	`This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is`
		5405	`available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific`
		5406	`platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600`
		5407
		5408	`* AVR_IAR Toolset`
		5409	`Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.`
		5410
		5411	`* JATS.BAT`
		5412	`Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that`
		5413	`the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both`
		5414	`the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.`
		5415
		5416	`* jats label`
		5417	`Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB`

		5420	`Version: JATS_2.64.0 Released: 16-Apr-07`
		5421	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5422	`Major changes:`
		5423	`* New build platform:`
		5424	`LMOS_TP5600`
		5425	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI`
		5426	`LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5427
		5428	`LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600`
		5429	`supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to`
		5430	`describe the group of platforms.`
		5431
		5432	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5433	`These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to`
		5434	`build these targets.`
		5435
		5436	`The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,`
		5437	`where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.`
		5438
		5439	`The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,`
		5440	`where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.`
		5441
		5442	`* New build platform: WINCE`
		5443	`This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.`
		5444	`Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for`
		5445	`consumption on all WINCE machines.`
		5446
		5447	`The current list of WINCE targets is:`
		5448	`WCEIT3000`
		5449	`WCEPA961`
		5450	`WCEPA962`
		5451	`WCEPCM7220`

		5455	`WCEX86A420`
		5456	`WCEX86A500`
		5457	`WCEX86A500_SOM4455`
		5458
		5459	`The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.`
		5460
		5461	`* JATS makefile.pl`
		5462	`The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles`
		5463	`that contain packaging directives.`
		5464
		5465	`There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in`
		5466	`very unusual configurations.`
		5467
		5468	`Minor changes:`
		5469	`* Directive: PackageFile`
		5470	`Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming`
		5471	`conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain`
		5472	`an '='.`
		5473
		5474	`Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead`
		5475	`of "--Subdir=etc".`
		5476
		5477	`* JATS Internal utility: cmdfile`
		5478	`Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that`
		5479	`provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.`
		5480
		5481	`This version will display the library search path with one item per line,`
		5482	`rather than all items on one, very long, line.`
		5483
		5484	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5485	`Version: JATS_2.63.0 Released: 5-Apr-07`
		5486	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5487	`Major changes:`
		5488
		5489	`* JATS release command`
		5490	`Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is`
		5491	`specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.`
		5492
		5493	`Rules are:`
		5494	`Modify a file: File will branch`
		5495	`Adding a file: Containing directory will not branch`
		5496	`File will be placed on a branch`
		5497	`Add a directory: Containing directory will not branch`
		5498	`New directory will branch`
		5499
		5500	`Minor changes:`
		5501	`* JATS release command`
		5502	`Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the`
		5503	`user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.`
		5504
		5505	`* JATS label command`
		5506	`Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label`
		5507	`is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.`
		5508
		5509	`* JATS make`
		5510	`Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and`
		5511	`Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package`
		5512	`was re-packaged.`
		5513
		5514	`* JATS escrow`
		5515	`Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.`
		5516	`Use jats escrow -help for details`
		5517
		5518	`* makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt`
		5519	`This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java`
		5520	`packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.`
		5521
		5522	`This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in`
		5523	`packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the`
		5524	`interface directory.`
		5525
		5526	`* build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive`
		5527	`Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.`
		5528	`Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'`
		5529	`directory as seen by the package.`
		5530
		5531	`Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10`
		5532
		5533	`* JAVA 6`
		5534	`JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y`
		5535	`environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.`
		5536
		5537	`The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5`
		5538	`and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.`
		5539
		5540	`The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables`
		5541
		5542	`* Jats command: vars`
		5543	`Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory`
		5544	`These indicate potential problems.`
		5545
		5546	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5547	`Version: JATS_2.62.4 Released: 20-Mar-07`
		5548	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5549	`Major changes:`
		5550	`* JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)`
		5551	`When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned`
		5552	`libarry is also created.`
		5553
		5554	`Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical`
		5555	`copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is`
		5556	`'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two`
		5557	`files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)`
		5558	`The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug`
		5559	`information contained within the file.`
		5560
		5561	`This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',`
		5562	`'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.`
		5563
		5564	`The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used`
		5565	`within the build environment and dpkg_archive.`
		5566
		5567	`* Building Perl Modules`
		5568	`Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the`
		5569	`documentation on the build machine.`
		5570
		5571	`Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.`
		5572
		5573	`Minor changes:`
		5574	`* jats create_dpkg`
		5575	`Added an option to create a built.generic file`
		5576	`This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.`
		5577
		5578	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5579	`Version: JATS_2.62.3 Released: 28-Feb-07`
		5580	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5581	`Major changes:`
		5582	`* JATS JAVA build target`
		5583	`The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the`
		5584	`default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.`
		5585
		5586	`Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar`
		5587	`JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.`
		5588	`Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this`
		5589	`is then picked up as the default version.`
		5590
		5591	`If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the`
		5592	`build.pl file.`
		5593
		5594	`Minor changes:`
		5595	`* jats release`
		5596	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH`
		5597	`Issue an error if it cannot be found.`
		5598	`This error indicates bad DevEnv setup`
		5599
		5600	`Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.`
		5601	`Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify`
		5602	`the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,`
		5603	`based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change`
		5604	`the name of the view.`
		5605
		5606	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5607	`Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.`
		5608
		5609	`* MOS Toolset`
		5610	`When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly`
		5611	`used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set`
		5612	`up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization`
		5613
		5614	`Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );`
		5615
		5616
		5617	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5618	`Version: JATS_2.62.2 Released: 15-Feb-07`
		5619	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5620	`Major changes:`
		5621
		5622	`Minor changes:`
		5623	`* JATS environment`
		5624	`Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH`
		5625	`environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities`
		5626	`that are located in the Perl bin directory.`
		5627
		5628	`Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html`
		5629
		5630	`* Use of GENERIC platforms`
		5631	`Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform`
		5632	`specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because`
		5633	`they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need`
		5634	`to be packaged.`
		5635
		5636	`* Generated makefiles`
		5637	`Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.`
		5638
		5639	`* Generating MOS THX files`
		5640	`Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX`
		5641	`files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.`
		5642	`This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.`
		5643
		5644	`SharedLib ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );`
		5645
		5646	`* JATS release`
		5647	`Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix`
		5648
		5649	`* JATS extract`
		5650	`New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'`
		5651
		5652	`* JATS Toolset`
		5653	`Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)`
		5654	`This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK`
		5655
		5656
		5657	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5658	`Version: JATS_2.62.1 Released: 18-Jan-07`
		5659	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5660	`Major changes:`
		5661
		5662	`Minor changes:`
		5663	`* jats label`
		5664	`Added a -vob=name option`
		5665	`This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete`
		5666	`labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option`
		5667	`cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.`
		5668	`It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.`
		5669
		5670	`Added a -user=name option`
		5671	`This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the`
		5672	`label to the named user.`
		5673
		5674	`* jats release`
		5675	`Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner`
		5676	`Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.`
		5677
		5678	`* JATS build.pl`
		5679	`BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.`
		5680	`ie:`
		5681	`BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');`
		5682

		5684	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5685	`Version: JATS_2.62.0 Released: 22-Dec-06`
		5686	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5687	`Major changes:`
		5688	`* GenerateFiles and RunTest directives`
		5689	`These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile`
		5690	`values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of`
		5691	`the makefile internals. ie:`
		5692	`--Var(BuildName)`
		5693	`will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)`
		5694	`-BuildName=MyPackage`
		5695
		5696	`The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.`
		5697
		5698	`* GenerateFiles`
		5699	`Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase`
		5700	`This allows external scripts to cleanup.`
		5701
		5702	`* BuildPlatforms`
		5703	`Restored operation of the --Uses option`
		5704
		5705	`Minor changes:`
		5706	`* GCC Toolset`
		5707	`Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages`
		5708
		5709	`Internal changes:`
		5710	`* GenerateFiles`
		5711	`Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.`
		5712
		5713	`--Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an`
		5714	`external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.`
		5715
		5716
		5717	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5718	`Version: JATS_2.61.3 Released: 14-Dec-06`
		5719	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5720	`Major changes:`
		5721	`* Caching JATS`
		5722	`Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local`
		5723	`drive. This is applicable to windows.`
		5724
		5725	`This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in`
		5726	`dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of`
		5727	`then using JATS across a slow(network) link.`
		5728
		5729	`The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.`
		5730	`Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be`
		5731	`effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.`
		5732
		5733	`Use: Build Machines and Windows Users`
		5734
		5735	`Minor changes:`
		5736	`* Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option`
		5737	`Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:`
		5738	`TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.`
		5739
		5740	`* jats build`
		5741	`If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache`
		5742	`packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package`
		5743	`processed by the build.`
		5744
		5745	`* jats build`
		5746	`Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the`
		5747	`makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating`
		5748	`makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error`
		5749	`message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users`
		5750	`from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.`
		5751
		5752	`* PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr`
		5753	`Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the`
		5754	`Path is not specified.`
		5755
		5756	`Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in`
		5757	`conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a`
		5758	`package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified`
		5759	`--Dir=$Pinc`
		5760	`but $Pinc is not defined.`
		5761
		5762	`* Purify and Purecov under Windows`
		5763	`Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the`
		5764	`Windows platform.`
		5765
		5766	`- OPTIONS=purecov`
		5767	`Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required`
		5768	`by 'purecov.`
		5769
		5770	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		5771	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows`
		5772
		5773	`- OPTIONS=purify`
		5774	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		5775	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.`
		5776	`Under WIndows this option does nothing.`

		5782	`Major changes:`
		5783	`* makefile.pl directive Platform`
		5784	`This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation`
		5785	`Example:`
		5786	`Platform ('!MOSCF');`
		5787	`Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF`
		5788	`This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');`
		5789
		5790	`Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have`
		5791	`been determined.`
		5792
		5793	`Minor changes:`
		5794	`* Added the ScanList directive.`
		5795	`This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be`
		5796	`located at build-time.`
		5797
		5798	`* Unix based systems`
		5799	`If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be`
		5800	`generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.`
		5801
		5802	`* MakeLinuxDriver`
		5803	`Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the`
		5804	`driver being built.`

		5835
		5836	`GenerateFiles.`
		5837	`Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does`

		5852
		5853	`CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' ); - Generate static programs`

		5906	`similar, but more pronounced, issue.`
		5907
		5908	`* Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)`
		5909	`New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS`

		6004
		6005	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6006	`Version: JATS_2.56.2 Released: 28-Aug-06`
		6007	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6008	`Major changes:`
		6009
		6010	`Minor changes:`
		6011	`* WIN32 and WINCE toolsets`
		6012	`SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'`

		6037	`Major changes:`
		6038	`* Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64`
		6039	`Initial release.`

		6044	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6045	`Version: JATS_2.56.0 Released: 18-Aug-06`

		6047	`Major changes:`
		6048	`* Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64`
		6049	`Initial release.`
		6050
		6051	`* Packaging directives`
		6052	`Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into`
		6053	`a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.`
		6054
		6055	`Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on`
		6056	`SOLARIS`
		6057	`WIN32`
		6058
		6059	`* Removal of support for badly formed packages`
		6060	`As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory`
		6061	`will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect`
		6062	`directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose`
		6063	`of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,`
		6064	`solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).`
		6065
		6066	`* Build Platform target name expansion facility`
		6067	`The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They`
		6068	`will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .`
		6069
		6070
		6071	`Minor changes:`
		6072	`* Utility: JATS LABEL`

		6074	`Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.`
		6075
		6076	`* Utility: JATS RELEASE`
		6077	`Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given`
		6078	`location`
		6079
		6080	`Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for`
		6081	`controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx`
		6082
		6083	`* Utility genrc`
		6084	`Added the company name to the copyright string`
		6085
		6086	`* Utility: jats_save_build`
		6087	`Added option: -new`
		6088	`This option forces the saved file only a new branch.`
		6089	`The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific`
		6090	`branch. Useful when branching an entire release.`
		6091
		6092	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6093	`Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.`
		6094	`Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.`
		6095
		6096	`* Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir`
		6097	`These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for`
		6098	`migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.`
		6099
		6100	`The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl`
		6101	`features - in a uniform manner.`
		6102
		6103
		6104	`Internal Changes:`
		6105	`* Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts`
		6106	`directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.`
		6107
		6108	`Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:`
		6109	`1) Platform information available at build time`
		6110	`2) Dynamic platform names`
		6111
		6112	`* Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform`
		6113	`The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the`
		6114	`machine on which the platform is invoked.`
		6115
		6116	`Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into`
		6117	`configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the`
		6118	`SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.`
		6119
		6120	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6121	`Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32`
		6122	`platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer`
		6123	`needed.`
		6124
		6125	`A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be`
		6126	`located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change`
		6127	`should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle`
		6128	`files from all of these.`

		6140	`Version: JATS_2.55.0 Released: 3-Aug-06`
		6141	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6142	`Major changes:`
		6143	`* Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used`
		6144	`Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of`
		6145	`JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.`
		6146
		6147	`The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.`
		6148
		6149	`JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up`
		6150	`the operations.`
		6151
		6152	`The version option MUST be the first option.`
		6153
		6154	`The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.`
		6155	`This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.`
		6156
		6157	`Example: jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build`
		6158
		6159	`* Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script`
		6160	`and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.`
		6161
		6162	`* Utility: create_dpkg`
		6163	`Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts`
		6164	`Extended the built-in help`
		6165	`Added useful error messages`
		6166	`Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism`
		6167
		6168	`* WinCE toolset`
		6169	`Added support for the WCEPA962 target.`
		6170
		6171	`* M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware`
		6172	`Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files`
		6173	`are used in the creation of bootstraps.`
		6174
		6175	`Minor changes:`
		6176	`* JATS wrapper script`
		6177	`Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from`
		6178	`the command line.`
		6179
		6180	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6181	`Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the`
		6182	`ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.`
		6183
		6184	`Internal Changes:`
		6185	`* Common Error Reporting`
		6186	`Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels`
		6187	`for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars`
		6188	`of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE`
		6189	`level.`
		6190
		6191	`Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is`
		6192	`displayed.`
		6193
		6194	`Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.`
		6195

		6209	`Added AT7272 support`
		6210

		6228	`Major changes:`
		6229

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

		6538	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6539	`Version: JATS_2.50.0 Released: 15-Feb-06`
		6540	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6541	`Major changes:`
		6542	`* WIN32 utilities`
		6543	`Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)`
		6544	`with versions from the GNUWin32 project.`
		6545
		6546	`The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories`
		6547	`under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the`
		6548	`same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).`
		6549
		6550	`Minor changes:`
		6551	`* BuildVersion`
		6552	`The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file`
		6553	`will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'`
		6554	`program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.`
		6555
		6556	`The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.`
		6557
		6558	`* Unix Builds`
		6559	`Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static`
		6560	`library or a shared library.`
		6561
		6562	`JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred`
		6563	`when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix`
		6564	`systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already`
		6565	`start with 'lib'.`
		6566
		6567	`* BuildPkgArchive`
		6568	`Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if`
		6569	`they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source`
		6570	`package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.`
		6571
		6572	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6573	`Version: JATS_2.49.0 Released: 10-Feb-06`
		6574	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6575	`Major changes:`
		6576	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6577	`Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target`
		6578	`THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get`
		6579	`regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was`
		6580	`being manually maintained.`
		6581
		6582
		6583	`Minor changes:`
		6584	`* MakeAnt directive`
		6585	`Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset`
		6586	`that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset`
		6587	`supports ANT builds.`
		6588
		6589	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6590	`Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where`
		6591	`there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.`
		6592
		6593	`* Label utility`
		6594	`Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified`
		6595	`files to be labeled.`
		6596
		6597	`* Build. Parsing descpkg files`
		6598	`Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly`
		6599	`on Solaris.`
		6600
		6601	`* Generated makefiles`
		6602	`Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to`
		6603	`nothing.`
		6604
		6605	`* MOS Toolset`
		6606	`Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.`
		6607	`This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised`
		6608	`modules.`
		6609
		6610	`* Utility: gen_cots`
		6611	`This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry`
		6612	`and then check it in under clearcase.`
		6613
		6614	`JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.`
		6615
		6616	`* Utilty cache_dpkg`
		6617	`Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.`
		6618
		6619	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6620	`Version: JATS_2.48.0 Released: 24-Jan-06`
		6621	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6622	`Major changes:`
		6623	`None`
		6624
		6625	`Minor changes:`
		6626	`* DEVI addressed`
		6627	`DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource`
5710	dpurdie	6628	`DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource`
227	dpurdie	6629
		6630	`* Utility: release (cbuild)`
		6631	`Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching`
		6632	`rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:`
		6633
		6634	`jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH`
		6635
		6636	`will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating`
		6637	`a patch for Sydney Legacy work.`
		6638
		6639	`* RunTest directive`
		6640	`The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have`
		6641	`been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to`
		6642	`test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.`
		6643
		6644	`* PackageFile, Option --DirTree`
		6645	`Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the`
		6646	`--DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be`
		6647	`packaged under JATS`
		6648
		6649	`Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not`
		6650	`supported within JATS.`
		6651
		6652	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6653	`Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the`
		6654	`sanitized environment provided by JATS.`
		6655
		6656	`The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's`
		6657	`PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the`
		6658	`JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.`
		6659
		6660	`Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2`
		6661	`Eg: jats ant`
		6662
		6663	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6664	`Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )`
		6665
5710	dpurdie	6666	`This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file`
227	dpurdie	6667	`called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called`
		6668	`<ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the`
		6669	`<ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the`
		6670	`<ProjectName>.xml file.`
		6671
5710	dpurdie	6672	`If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will`
227	dpurdie	6673	`expect a build.pl file.`
		6674
		6675	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6676	`Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.`
		6677
		6678	`* Jats utility: create_dpkg`
		6679	`Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within`
		6680	`the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.`
		6681
		6682	`* Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)`
		6683	`Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.`
		6684
		6685	`* Build files`
		6686	`Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with`
5710	dpurdie	6687	`VIX extensions.`
227	dpurdie	6688
		6689	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6690	`Version: JATS_2.47.0 Released: 20-Dec-05`
		6691	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6692	`Major changes:`
		6693	`* BuildVersion directive in build.pl`
		6694	`Correct a problem in the generation of version.c`
		6695	`The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing`
		6696	`space when the 'array' mode was selected.`
		6697
		6698	`This may cause module validation to fail.`
		6699
		6700	`Minor changes:`
		6701	`* None`
		6702
		6703	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6704	`Version: JATS_2.46.0 Released: 08-Dec-05`
		6705	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6706	`Major changes:`
		6707	`* BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives`
		6708	`Added option --Uses=NAME`
		6709	`ie:`
		6710	`BuildProduct ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5', 'MOSCF' );`
		6711
		6712	`This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5`
		6713	`headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the`
		6714	`OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build`
		6715	`environments are compatible.`
		6716
		6717
		6718	`Minor changes:`
		6719	`* BuildName option`
		6720	`Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames`
5710	dpurdie	6721	`that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).`
227	dpurdie	6722
		6723	`* jats.bat`
		6724	`Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined`
		6725	`It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.`

		6728	`Version: JATS_2.45.0 Released: 29-Nov-05`
		6729	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6730	`Major changes:`
		6731	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6732	`The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified`
		6733	`so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly`
		6734	`speeds up multiple 'build' operations.`
		6735
		6736	`If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then`
		6737	`this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are`
		6738	`considered as under development and are subject to change.`
		6739
		6740	`If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be`
		6741	`installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to`
		6742	`be transferred into the 'interface' directory.`
		6743
		6744	`A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been`
		6745	`transferred.`
		6746
		6747	`* Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.`
		6748	`See notes below.`
		6749
		6750	`* WIN32 toolset`
		6751	`Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate`
		6752	`correctly.`
		6753
		6754	`Export the complete library search path into the build environment`
		6755	`for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.`
		6756
		6757	`* BuildVersion`
		6758	`Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#`
		6759	`The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for`
		6760	`other langauges as needed.`
		6761
		6762
		6763	`Minor changes:`
		6764	`* Utility: gen_winrc.pl`
		6765	`Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.`
		6766	`This information will be available to be placed into the generation`
		6767	`version strings.`
		6768
		6769	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		6770	`Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local`
		6771	`package or an imported package.`
		6772
		6773	`* Toolsets: MOS_MRI`
		6774	`Generate an error if required tools are not found.`
		6775	`Previously this condition would generate a warning.`
		6776
		6777	`* BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives`
		6778	`Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check`
		6779	`was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same`
		6780	`version to be included. This could result in badly formed`
		6781	`makefiles and strange error messages.`
		6782
		6783	`Internal Changes`
		6784	`* Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common`
		6785	`directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite`
		6786	`of utilities.`
		6787
		6788	`Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting`
		6789	`functions.`
		6790
		6791	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6792	`Version: JATS_2.44.0 Released: 18-Nov-05`
		6793	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6794	`Major changes:`
		6795	`* Generated makefiles`
		6796	`Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE`
		6797	`cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure`
		6798	`that sed did not process its arguments.`
		6799
		6800	`This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts`
		6801	`within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was`
		6802	`incorrectly processing:`
		6803	`sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'`
		6804	`The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was`
		6805	`then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally`
		6806	`confused.`
		6807
		6808	`NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a`
		6809	`breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).`
		6810	`The construct`
		6811	`-D__SOURCE__=\"name\"`
		6812	`was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,`
		6813	`then it works.`
		6814
		6815	`* MakeAnt directive`
		6816	`Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile`
		6817
		6818	`This option has the following effects`
		6819	`1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and`
		6820	`can be used installed and manipulated.`
		6821
		6822	`2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done`
		6823	`early - in the generated files phase.`
		6824
		6825	`Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java`
		6826	`component needs to generate a header file early.`
		6827
		6828
		6829	`Minor changes:`
		6830	`* JATS post-installation script`
		6831	`Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.`
		6832
		6833	`* Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix`
		6834	`systems. Thus .h and .H files will considered header files in`
		6835	`windows.`
		6836
		6837	`* Build.pl rewrite tool`
		6838	`Handle all variants of BuildName`
		6839
		6840	`* Jats wrapper script`
		6841	`Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable`
		6842	`1) Contain spaces`
		6843	`2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped`
		6844
		6845	`* Toolset`
		6846	`Added a 'LINUX' platform.`
		6847
		6848	`* JAVA toolset`
		6849	`Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following`
		6850	`directive:`
		6851
		6852	`includeAntRuntime="off"'`
		6853
		6854	`This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to`
		6855	`the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's`
		6856	`version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.`
		6857
		6858	`* GCC Toolset`
		6859	`Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian`
		6860
		6861	`* Makefile generation`
		6862	`When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS`
		6863	`has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.`
		6864	`Previously JATS would use the package name found within the`
		6865	`descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the`
		6866	`package could not be used.`
		6867
		6868	`* Unit Tests`
		6869	`The following environment variables are set:`
		6870
		6871	`GBE_TYPE - The type of build. Debug or production. This`
		6872	`will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'`
		6873
		6874	`GBE_HOST - The host machine we are running on.`
		6875	`This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'`
		6876
		6877	`These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.`
		6878
		6879	`* New makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		6880
		6881
		6882	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6883	`Version: JATS_2.43.0 Released: 01-Nov-05`
		6884	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6885	`Major changes:`
		6886	`* New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.`
		6887
		6888	`Special features of this toolset.`
		6889	`1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file`
		6890	`This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be`
		6891	`incorporated within the target image.`
		6892
		6893	`2) Prog directive extensions:`
		6894	`--Set=Name=Value`
		6895	`The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.`
		6896	`This allows the location of program segments to be set`
		6897
		6898	`--Ref=name`
		6899	`The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used`
		6900	`to provide information that will be placed within the`
		6901	`THX header. The version number will be ignored. It`
		6902	`will be taken from the build version number.`
		6903
		6904	`Minor changes:`
		6905	`* MOS Toolset`
		6906	`Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.`
		6907	`Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or`
		6908	`packaged.`
		6909
		6910	`* Src directive`
		6911	`No generates a warning if no source files are located within the`
		6912	`directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform`
		6913	`specifier.`
		6914
		6915	`* WIN32 runtime support`
		6916	`Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.`
		6917	`1) od - dump files in octal and other formats`
		6918	`2) cmp - compare two files byte by byte`
		6919
		6920	`Internal:`
		6921	`Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"`
		6922	`dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program`
		6923	`generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.`
		6924
		6925	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6926	`Version: JATS_2.42.0 Released: 19-Oct-05`
		6927	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6928	`Major changes:`
		6929	`* BuildAlias directive`
		6930	`Added options.`
		6931	`--Define - Does not create implicit platforms`
		6932	`--Target - Redeclares the alais as the list of all`
		6933	`platforms that are based on a given target or`
		6934	`targets.`
		6935	`Eg:`
		6936	`BuildAlias ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );`
		6937	`BuildProduct ( 'GAK', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );`
		6938	`BuildProduct ( 'PCP', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );`
		6939
		6940	`Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's`
		6941	`that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of`
		6942	`'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.`
		6943
		6944	`Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.`
		6945	`The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the`
		6946	`specification of all the LMOS targets.`
		6947
		6948
		6949	`Minor changes:`
		6950	`* Label utility`
		6951	`Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one`
		6952	`build.pl file`
		6953
		6954	`* Package directives. PackageFile.`
		6955	`Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn`
		6956	`needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.`
		6957	`Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the`
		6958	`--FilterIn option.`
		6959
		6960	`* jats release (cbuilder) utility`
		6961	`Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.`
		6962	`The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.`
		6963
		6964	`* Location of descpkg file`
		6965	`All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was`
		6966	`created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it`
		6967	`can be done within any makefile.pl.`
		6968
		6969	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6970	`Version: JATS_2.41.0 Released: 27-Sep-05`
		6971	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6972	`Major changes:`
		6973	`* RunTest directive`
		6974	`Extended the options and operation of RunTest`
		6975	`Additional options`
		6976	`--CopyIn=file`
		6977	`This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before`
		6978	`the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This`
		6979	`allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into`
		6980	`the test area.`
		6981
		6982	`Additional operations`
		6983	`The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of`
		6984	`transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms`
		6985	`--File(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a known file`
		6986	`--Local(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a file that has been Installed`
		6987	`--PackageBase(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a Package`
		6988	`Allows flags:`
		6989	`--dir - directory part of the pathname`
		6990	`--file - file part of the pathname`
		6991	`--abspath - as an absolute path`
		6992	`--absdrive - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)`
		6993
		6994	`Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their`
		6995	`existence is tested.`
		6996
		6997	`* Packaging Directives`
		6998	`Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets`
		6999	`such as LMOS.`
		7000
		7001	`PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');`
		7002
		7003	`Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32`
		7004
		7005	`PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');`
		7006
		7007	`Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys`
		7008
		7009	`* JAVA 1.4 and 1.5`
		7010	`Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify`
		7011	`the version of Java to be used to build a package.`
		7012
		7013	`BuildPlatforms ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );`
		7014
		7015	`The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.`
		7016	`This may not be sutable for all packages.`
		7017
		7018	`Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be`
		7019	`set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:`
		7020
		7021	`JAVA_HOME_1_4`
		7022	`JAVA_HOME_1_5`
		7023
		7024	`Minor changes:`
		7025	`* Script directive`
		7026	`Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.`
		7027	`These scripts are now always marked as executable.`
		7028
		7029	`* JATS environment`
		7030	`Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase`
		7031	`COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in`
		7032	`the JATS wrapper script.`
		7033
		7034	`* Label utility`
		7035	`Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.`
		7036	`There are three modes of operation:`
		7037	`1) -nocheckout Checked out files are not labeled`
		7038	`2) -checkout Only checked out files are labeled`
		7039	`3) Neither All files are labeled.`

		7050	`This options retains the locked state of a label.`
		7051
		7052	`* AVR_IAR toolset`
		7053	`Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be`
		7054	`added to a program as it is created. The option is:`
		7055	`--ProgLoader=name`
		7056
		7057	`* Package directives. PackageFile`
		7058	`Added support for packaging of directory trees.`
		7059	`Options to do this are:`
		7060	`--TreeDir=name`
		7061	`--FilterOut=regexp`
		7062	`--FilterIn=regexp`
		7063	`--StripDir`
		7064
		7065	`Only a single directory can be specified.`
		7066	`Multiple filters are allowed.`
		7067	`The directories must be within the current directory. It is not`
		7068	`possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.`
		7069
		7070	`The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.`
		7071	`The filters are regular expressions. Examples:`
		7072
		7073	`'--FilterIn=\.h$' - Select all files ending with .h`
		7074	`'--FilterOut=MyHeader.h' - Except this one`
		7075
		7076	`The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the`
		7077	`files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.`
		7078
		7079
		7080	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7081	`Version: JATS_2.39.0 Released: 14-Sep-05`
		7082	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7083	`Major changes:`
		7084	`* Make commands`
		7085	`Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.`
		7086
		7087	`The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools`
		7088	`sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter`
		7089
		7090	`* Label utility`

		7096	`Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable`
		7097	`variables and overrides.`
		7098
		7099	`The make_init target is always run.`

		7102
		7103	`* Deployment`
		7104	`Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction`
		7105	`with deployment operations.`
		7106
		7107	`* Release utility`
		7108	`Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.`
		7109	`The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further`
		7110	`restricted by options within the build.`
		7111
		7112	`* PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl`
		7113	`The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a`
		7114	`problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the`
		7115	`list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the`
		7116	`list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.`
		7117
		7118	`Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these`
		7119	`directives.`
		7120
		7121	`* MakeProject directive`
		7122	`If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed`
		7123	`because 'make' stops when a command fails.`
		7124
		7125	`The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the`
		7126	`log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command`
		7127	`is preserved.`
		7128
		7129	`* Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl`
		7130	`Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'`
		7131	`statements.`
		7132
		7133	`* Mugfile generation`
		7134	`Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to`
		7135	`be placed in the target package.`

		7147	`number.`
		7148
		7149	`Minor changes:`
		7150	`* AddFlags directives`
		7151	`Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of`
		7152	`duplicate flags being added.`
		7153
		7154	`* GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)`
		7155	`Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS`
		7156	`loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.`
		7157
		7158	`* Mug File Generation`
		7159	`Added support to allow load files to include other load files.`
		7160
		7161	`* 'cbuild' or 'release' command`
		7162	`Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the`
		7163	`problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been`
		7164	`labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root`
		7165	`directory.`
		7166
		7167	`The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT`
		7168	`reproducible.`

		7174	`* jats.bat and jats.sh`
		7175	`Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.`
		7176	`Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no`
		7177	`longer a list of directories.`
		7178
		7179	`Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now`
		7180	`done within the toolset.`

		7182	`*** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release`
		7183
		7184	`* JATS environment variables`
		7185	`Redefined variable`
		7186	`GBE_DPKG - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive`
		7187	`Previously was a list that included the`
		7188	`dpkg_archive cache.`
		7189
		7190	`New variable`
		7191	`GBE_DPKG_CACHE - Optional directory for a local cache of`

		7197	`Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various`
		7198	`target platforms to be extracted.`
		7199
		7200	`Better support for Product families. This is only an issue`
		7201	`for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of`
		7202	`libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.`
		7203
		7204	`* Utility: release (cbuilder)`
		7205	`Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests`
		7206	`Units tests will still be run by default.`
		7207
		7208	`Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has`

		7216	`structure.`
		7217
		7218	`* makefile.pl's`
		7219	`GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools`
		7220	`to be generated within the same script. Example:`
		7221
		7222	`Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );`
		7223	`GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",`
		7224	`'--Prereq(infile)',`

		7226
		7227	`RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can`
		7228	`be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These`
		7229	`tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will`
		7230	`be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to`
5710	dpurdie	7231	`the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as`
227	dpurdie	7232	`-- Auto.`
		7233
		7234	`* Added a new make target: run_unit_tests`
		7235	`This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive`
		7236	`unit tests within an automated framework.`
		7237
		7238	`* Make run_test and run_unit_test operation`
		7239	`The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to`
		7240	`include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well`

		7242	`locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.`
		7243
		7244	`* WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6`
		7245	`The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer`
		7246	`imported from the users environment as the environment is`

		7268
		7269	`* UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)`
		7270	`Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to`

		7332	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7333	`Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe`

		7336
		7337	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive`
		7338	`Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft`

		7366
		7367	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7368	`Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of`

		7407	`* Support for Windows DLLs`
		7408	`When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is`

		7410	`by the package to be accessed.`
		7411
		7412	`The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the`
		7413	`application or visual studio.`

		7457	`force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as`

		7488	`Multiple platforms should be specified as:`

		7490	`with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace`
		7491	`If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what`

		7494
		7495	`* GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl`
		7496	`Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for`
		7497	`embedded brackets. Now allow`

		7516	`to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by`
		7517	`other components.`

		7547	`production.`
		7548

		7572	`The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not`

		7717	`option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug`
		7718	`or all.`
		7719
		7720	`This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with`
		7721	`the library or program.`
		7722
		7723	`Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );`
		7724
		7725	`Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub`
		7726	`library or any debug files.`
		7727
		7728	`* GenerateFiles`
		7729	`All processed arguments now support two options.`
		7730
		7731	`ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)`
		7732	`directory in which the prereq file is found`
		7733
		7734	`ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)`
		7735	`The filename of the prereq file`
		7736
		7737	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if`
		7738	`the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to`
		7739	`the build command, will prevent this behaviour.`
		7740
		7741
		7742	`Minor changes:`
		7743	`* create_dpkg utility`
		7744	`Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow`
		7745	`utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that`
		7746	`the package has been altered.`

		7767	`builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.`
		7768
		7769	`The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.`
		7770
		7771	`* Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		7772	`GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles`
		7773	`to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.`
		7774
		7775	`The change allows the construct`
		7776	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS`
		7777	`to be replaced by the simpler`
		7778	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS`

		7821	`Correct two common situations`
		7822	`1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored`

		7824	`ansi, but is often done.`
		7825
		7826	`* GCC toolset`
		7827	`Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not`
		7828	`being created in the correct place.`
		7829
		7830	`* jats "label"`
		7831	`The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not`

		7897
		7898	`* Jats wrapper`

		7901	`further commands.`
		7902

		7914	`NoPDB - Disable the generation of PDBs`
		7915	`PDB - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).`
		7916
		7917	`These options operation affect all components within the`

		7936
		7937	`* The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the`

		7940	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7941	`Version: JATS_2.13.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		7942	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7943	`Major changes:`
		7944	`* Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged`
		7945	`the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The`
		7946	`implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can`
		7947	`"installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.`
		7948	`The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as`
		7949	`this is the order in which the libraries will be created and`
		7950	`installed.`
		7951
		7952	`This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared`
		7953	`libraries that depend on each other.`
		7954
		7955	`This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not`
		7956	`generate separate stub libraries to link against.`
		7957
		7958	`Minor changes:`
		7959	`* WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets`
		7960	`Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files`
		7961	`in the "local" and "interface" directory.`
		7962
		7963	`* The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the`
		7964	`first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a`
		7965	`"src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation`
		7966	`of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.`
		7967
		7968	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7969	`Version: JATS_2.12.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		7970	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7971	`Major changes:`
		7972
		7973	`Minor changes:`
		7974	`* Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive`
		7975	`Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction`
		7976	`with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another`
		7977	`file.`
		7978
		7979	`* Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when`
		7980	`a soft link is used to redirect to the package.`
		7981
		7982	`* Win32 and WinCE toolsets`
		7983	`Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.`
		7984	`CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );`
		7985
		7986	`Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of`
		7987	`a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"`
		7988
		7989	`Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries`
		7990	`in the same manner at Shared Libraries.`
		7991
		7992	`* WinCE toolsets`
		7993	`Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve`
		7994	`compiler specific libraries.`
		7995
		7996	`* SOLARIS toolset`
		7997	`Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line`
		7998	`with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with`
		7999	`OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.`
		8000
		8001	`Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared`
		8002	`libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being`
		8003	`cleaned up.`
		8004
		8005	`* Microtec tools set (MOS)`
		8006	`Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args`
		8007
		8008	`* jats_rewriter.pl`
		8009	`Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments`
		8010	`with either " or ' characters.`

		8013	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8014	`Version: JATS_2.11.0 Released: 15-Mar-05`
		8015	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8016	`Major changes:`
		8017	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		8018	`The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area`
		8019	`The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform`
		8020	`specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories`
		8021
		8022	`Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process`
		8023	`of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.`
		8024
		8025	`* Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the`
		8026	`user.`
		8027
		8028	`* MOS Microtec Toolset`
		8029	`Always present an absolute filename to the compiler`
		8030	`Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress`
		8031
		8032	`This will remove error messages about the path being too long`
		8033	`for the -Gf option.`
		8034
		8035	`Minor changes:`
		8036	`* SOLARIS Toolset`
		8037	`Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line`
		8038
		8039	`* Win32 and WinCE Toolset`
		8040	`Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or`
		8041	`the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to`
		8042	`figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.`
		8043
		8044	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8045	`Version: JATS_2.10.0 Released: 11-Mar-05`
		8046	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8047	`Major changes:`
		8048	`* Extended BuildName to accept the form`
		8049	`BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );`
		8050
		8051	`* MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.`
		8052	`Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and`
		8053	`data addresses for the board.`
		8054
		8055	`BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );`
		8056
		8057	`Will set the code,data address for the debugable image`
		8058
		8059	`* Extended the PackageXxxxx options`
		8060	`1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy`
		8061	`Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the`
		8062	`"platform" name. Only useful within the context of the`
		8063	`PackageFile`
		8064
		8065	`2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile`
		8066	`directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the`
		8067	`platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a`
		8068	`suffix. In practice this is the logical use.`
		8069
		8070	`* Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been`
		8071	`discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files`
		8072	`to be installed and packaged.`
		8073
		8074	`Minor changes:`
		8075
		8076	`* cache_dpkg utility`
		8077	`If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache`
		8078	`entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.`
		8079
		8080	`* label utility`
		8081	`New option -auto to create and label`
		8082
		8083	`* Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files`
		8084	`This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names`
		8085
		8086	`* The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument`
		8087	`This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root`
		8088	`directory. ie:`
		8089
		8090	`BuildDirTree ( '', 'pkg' );`
		8091
		8092	`* Fixed DEVIM 00019520`
		8093	`The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to`
		8094	`the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.`
		8095
		8096
		8097	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8098	`Version: JATS_2.9.0 Released: 28-Feb-05`
		8099	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8100	`Major changes:`
		8101	`* First release for Back Office and Front Office use.`
		8102
		8103	`* Added the jats tool jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.`
		8104	`To be used by the nightly build process.`
		8105
		8106	`* Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.`
		8107	`The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the`
		8108	`compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete`
		8109	`the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.`
		8110
		8111	`The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's`
		8112	`interface directory and to remove all temp files before each`
		8113	`compilation.`
		8114
		8115	`This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.`
		8116
		8117	`Minor changes:`
		8118	`* The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if`
		8119	`one is being produced.`
		8120
		8121	`* Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"`
		8122	`option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better`
		8123	`job of cleaning the workspace.`
		8124
		8125	`* Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS`
		8126
		8127	`* Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive`
		8128
		8129	`* Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.`
		8130	`This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.`
		8131
		8132	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8133	`Version: JATS_2.8.0 Released: 17-Feb-05`
		8134	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8135	`Major changes:`
		8136	`* Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be`
		8137	`installed in order for the compilers to work.`
		8138
		8139	`* New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220`
		8140
		8141	`* All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile`
		8142	`This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the`
		8143	`same directory`
		8144
		8145	`* Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag`
		8146	`_DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the`
		8147	`documenattion.`
		8148
		8149	`Minor changes:`
		8150	`* Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings`
		8151	`Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match`
		8152
		8153	`* Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with`
		8154	`spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.`
		8155
		8156	`* Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.`
		8157	`Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB`
		8158
		8159	`* Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display`
		8160	`when the verbose option had not been selected`
		8161
		8162	`* Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files`
		8163	`would prevent the execution of the command. This command should`
		8164	`be exempt from this test.`
		8165
		8166	`* Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE`
		8167	`platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.`
		8168
		8169	`* The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build`
		8170	`clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.`
		8171
		8172	`Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be`
		8173	`removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"`
		8174	`does.`
		8175
		8176	`* The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will`
		8177	`not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.`
		8178
		8179
		8180	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8181	`Version: JATS_2.7.0 Released: 09-Feb-05`
		8182	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8183	`Major changes:`
		8184	`* First release with support for the DAFBR compiler`
		8185
		8186	`* Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:`
		8187	`--Interface - Pull lib from Interface directory`
		8188	`--Local - Pull lib from Local directory (default)`
		8189	`--SubDir=pathname - Pull lib from a subdirectory`
		8190	`Note: xxxx,pathname still works`
		8191
		8192	`* Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling`
		8193	`operations.`
		8194
		8195	`* Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.`
		8196
		8197	`* Added this manual ChangeLog file`
		8198
		8199	`Minor changes`
		8200	`* Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to`
		8201	`be run in a controlled environment from the command line.`
		8202
		8203	`* Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various`
		8204	`toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the`
		8205	`directory is not added to the library path.`
		8206
		8207	`Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will`
		8208	`not add the xxxx/lib to the path.`
		8209
		8210	`* cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.`
		8211	`The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search`
		8212	`first in an attempt to speed up the process.`
		8213
		8214	`* The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not`
		8215	`begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler`
		8216	`specific flags.`
		8217
		8218	`* The use of linker flags will issue a warning.`
		8219
		8220	`* Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been`
		8221	`determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions`
		8222	`such they are available to the common makefile.pl.`
		8223
		8224	`* Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify`
		8225	`a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of`
		8226	`JATS.`
		8227
		8228	`* Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that`
		8229	`caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.`
		8230
		8231	`* The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS`
		8232	`projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full`
		8233	`pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.`
		8234
		8235	`* The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to`
		8236	`the initial DLL or EXE.`
		8237
		8238	`* Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may`
		8239	`fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created`
		8240	`since the "generate" phase was not being run.`
		8241
		8242	`Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated`
		8243	`and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive`
		8244
		8245	`* JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.`
		8246
		8247	`* The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.`
		8248	`Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.`
		8249
		8250	`* Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if`
		8251	`the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's`
		8252	`objects.`
		8253
		8254	`* Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make`
		8255	`command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in`
		8256	`that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always`
		8257	`build defendants.`
