    * Build Directives: BuildPlatforms and BuildProducts
71
        The --Uses=XXX and --Alias=XXX options support a comma and a colon 
72
        separated list. The colon seperated list will aviod parsing 
73
        confusion.
74
 
75
        The following all have the same effect:
76
            BuildPlatforms ('P1', '--Uses=P2:P3' );
77
            BuildPlatforms ('P1', '--Uses=P2,P3' );
78
            BuildPlatforms ('P1,--Uses=P2:P3' );

85
      Add 'testlinks' command to test, and optionally delete, the package
86
      symlinks.

Minor changes:
254
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
255
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
256
 
257
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
258
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
259
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
260
      build errors.
261
 
262
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
263
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
264
 
265
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
266
      Shorthand for
267
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
268
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
269
 
270
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
271
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
272
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
273
      Examples: 
274
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
275
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
276
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
277
 
278
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
279
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
280
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
281
 
282
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
283
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
284
      build system.
285
 
286
Experimental:
287
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
288
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
289
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.
7300 dpurdie 290
      This will change

293
Version:  3.13.3000.cr                              Released: 13-Mar-17
294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
295
 
296
Minor changes:
297
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
298
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
299
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.

301
------------------------------------------------------------------------
302
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
303
------------------------------------------------------------------------
304
 
305
Minor changes:
306
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
307
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
308
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
309
 
310
    * Build Files
311
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
312
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
313
 
314
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
315
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
316
 
317
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
318
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
319
 
320
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
321
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
322
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
323
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
324
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
325
 
326
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
327
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
328
     different architectures.
329
 
330
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
331
     are directed to one or more machines.
332
 
333
     Intended uses:
334
        Windows: Creating installers. 
335
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
336
 
337
       All: Specialized packaging.
338
 
339
    * Makefiles
340
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
341
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
342
      Eg:
343
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
344
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
345
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
346
      It could also have been written as:
347
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
348
      but NOT as:
349
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
350
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
351
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
352
 
353
    * Utility: sandbox
354
      Subcommand info 
355
        - Added option to test fingerprints
356
        - Display status in a column for easy reading

361
 
362
Minor changes:
363
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
364
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
365
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
366
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
367
 
368
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
369
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
370
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
371
 
372
    * GenerateFiles directive
373
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
374
 
375
    * Utility: sandbox
376
      Added a 'fingerprint' command to manipulate packages fingerprints.
377
 
378

379
      recalulated if the user adds or removes packages from the sandbox.
380

387
 
388
Minor changes:

      Added special platform of 'INSTRUMENT'. This will exclude 
391
      all Instrumented builds.
392
 
393
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
394
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
395
 
396
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
397
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
398
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
399
      machine may build the toolset.
400
 
401
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
402
      platform.

570
 
571
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a

      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
573
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.
574
 
575

576
      Improved the deletion of files such that only files that exist will

      the library: link and soname.
637
      When the shared library is Installed or Packaged the symlink was not

1136
      The use of the --Alias=xxx suboption has been exetnded.
1137
        BuildProduct   ( PROD,--Alias=A1', 'PLATFORM1,--Alias=A2', 'PLATFORM1,--Alias=A3' );
1138
      Will result in A1 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM1 and PROD_PLATFORM2
1139
                     A2 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM1
1140
                     A3 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM2
1141
 
1142
    * GCC Toolset. New CompileOptions

1145
 
1146
      Currently the default is to not generate PIC on static libraries, except for
1147
      the UBUNTU14 target.
1148
 
1149
      Note: PIC will always be generated for shared libraries

Major changes:
1156
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
1157
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
1158
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
1159
 
1160
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
1161
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
1162
      duplicates corrected.
1163
 
1164
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
1165
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
1166
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
1167
 
1168
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
1169
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
1170
      displayed at the end of the build process.

    * ANDROID target
1257
      Can be build on either Windows and Linux. This does not mean that
1258
      all Android packages will build on both, rather that the some Android

    * New build Alias - NATIVE
1334
      NATIVE is a set of platforms, in the current build, which build 
1335
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1336
 
1337
      The NATIVE alias has been created to simplify the support
1338

    * EnvVars
1362
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
1363
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
1364
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
1365
 
1366
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1367
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
1368
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
1369
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
1370
 
1371
    * Jats caching
1372
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
1373
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

1397
Minor changes:
1398
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
1399
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1400
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1401
 
1402
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1403
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1404
 
1405
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
1406
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
1407
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
1408
 
1409
    * Jats Internal: Database access

    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1698
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1699
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1700
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1701
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1702
 
1703
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1704

1731
Major changes:
1732
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1733
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1734
      intended to build deployed software.
1735
 
1736
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1737
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1738
 
1739
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1740
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1741
 
1742
Minor changes:
1743
    * Jats wrapper script
1744
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1745
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1746
      Subversion instance of the command.
1747
 
1748
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1749
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1750
 
1751

      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1760
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1761
 
1762
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1763
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1764
 
1765
    * GCC Toolchain
1766
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1784
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1785
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1786
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1787
 
1788
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1789
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1819
Major changes:
1820
 
1821
Minor changes:
1822
    * Jats Core
1823
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1824
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1825
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1826
 
1827
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1828
      Used only by the build daemons.
1829
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1830
 
1831
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1832
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1833
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

1838
Major changes:
1839
 
1840
Minor changes:
1841
    * svnrelease utility
1842
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1843
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1844
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1845
 
1846
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1847
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1848
      the named tag.
1849
 
1850
    * svnrelease utility
1851
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1852
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1863
        covered by the makefile.
1864
 
1865
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1866
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1867
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
1868
 
1869
    * ALL Toolsets
1870
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1871
 
1872
    * Utility vcsdiff
1873
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1874

1875
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
1885
      directory of the tag.
1886
 
1887

1891
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1892
      showing the user what to do.
1893
 
1894
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1895
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1896
      we have build support for this target.
1897
 
1898
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1899
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1900
 
1901
Internal:
1902
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage

1919
Major changes:
1920
 
1921
Minor changes:
1922
    * Makefile generation
1923
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1924
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1925
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1926
      of warnings.
1927
 
1928
    * Makefile Generation
1929
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

2429 dpurdie 1937
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1938
Major changes:
1939
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1940
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1941
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1942
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1943
 
1944
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1945
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1946
      windows path scheme.
1947
 
1948
Minor changes:
1949
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1950
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1951
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1952
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1953
 
1954
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1955
        jats make clobber
1956
      This operates as before.
1957
 
1958
    * Utility: escrow
1959
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1960
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1961
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1962
 
1963
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1964
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1965
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1966
 
1967
    * Utility: svn : url
1968
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1969
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1970
 
1971
    * Utility: svn : import
1972
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1973
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1974
 
1975
    * Subversion Support
1976
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1977
      showing the user what to do.
1978
 
1979
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1980
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1981
      repositories.

1986
 
1987
Minor changes:
1988
    * Jats build
1989
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1990
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1991
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1992
 
1993
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1994
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 1995
 
1996

2016
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2017
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2018
      Modified two options:
2019
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2020
                        The named branch must not exist
2021
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2022
                        The named branch must exist
2023
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2057
 
2058
Major changes:
2059
    * Jats Version Number
2060
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
2061
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2062
      significantly.
2063
 
2064

2079
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2080
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2081
 
2082
Minor changes:
2083
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2084
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2085
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2086
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2087
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2088
 
2089
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2090
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2091
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2092
 
2093
    * Linux support utilities
2094
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format

2105
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2106
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2108
 
2109
Minor changes:
2110
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2111
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2112
 
2113
    * Utility: svnrelease
2114
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2115
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2116
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2117
 
2118
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2119
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2120
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2121
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2122
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2123
 
2124
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2125
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2126
 
2127
    * Utility: sandbox
2128
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2129
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2130
 
2131
      Subcommand: populate
2132
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2133
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2134
      sandbox.
2135
 
2136
    * Subversion Support
2137
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2138
      repository is not supported.
2139
 
2140
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2141
      a progress indication.
2142
 
2143
    * Jats Online Documentation
2144
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2145
      online documentation.
2146
 
2147
    * Generated makefiles
2148
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2225
Major changes:
2226
 
2227
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2228
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2229
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2230
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2231
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2232

2247
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2248
 
2249
    * Utility ccrelease
2250
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2251
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2252
 
2253
    * Utility: svn
2254
      Improved package import processing.
2255
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

2282
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2283
Major changes:
2284
 
2285
Minor changes:
2286
    * Command: jats clobber
2287
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2288
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2289
 
2290
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2291
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2292
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2293
 
2294
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2295
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2296
 
377 dpurdie 2297
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2298
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2299
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2300
 
2301
    * jats svnlabel
2302
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2303
 
2304
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2305
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2306
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2307
 
2308
    * Built Daemon support
2309
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2310
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2311

373 dpurdie 2313
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2315
Major changes:
2316
    * GCC Toolset
2317
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2318
      New methodology is:
2319
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2320
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2321
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2322
        as the main binary.
2323
 
2324
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2325
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2326
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2327
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2328
      both worlds.
2329
 
2330
Minor changes:
2331
    * HTML Documentation
2332
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2333

2341
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2342
Major changes:
2343
    * Jats Sandbox
2344
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2345
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2346
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2347
 
2348
    * RIORDS Platform
2349
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

2372
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
2373
 
2374
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2375
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2376
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
2377
      a vob.
2378
 
2379
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
2444
      the clearcase label.
2445

2457
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
2458

2459
 
2460
Minor changes:
2461
    * HTML Help
2462
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
2463
 
2464
    * jats build -noforce
2465
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
2466
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
2467
      be forced.
2468
 
2469
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
2470
 
2471
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2472
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
2473
 
2474
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
2475
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
2476
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
2477
 
2478
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
2479
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
2480
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
2481
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
2482
 
2483
    * Utility: svnrelease
2484
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
2485
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
2486
 
2487
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
2488
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
2489
 
2490
    * Utility: svn
2491
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
2492
      installed and can be used.
2493
 
2494
    * Toolset: CSharp
2495
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
2496
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
2497
      character.
2498
 
2499
    * Toolset: SunWorks
2500
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
2501
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
2502
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
2503
      masking an error.
2504
 
2505
    * Toolset: Delphi7
2506
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
2507
      enhancement.
2508
 
2509
    * Toolset: dafbr
2510
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
2511
 
2512
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
2513
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
2514
        - Return correct path to package
2515
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
2516
 
2517
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
2518
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
2519
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
2520
 
2521
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
2522
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
2523
      packages.
2524
 
2525
    * make command: show
2526
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
2527
      'jats make show' command.
2528
 
2529
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2530
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
2531
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
2532
 
2533
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
2534
      executed on Unix machines.

2570
 
2571
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
2572
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
2573
 
2574
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
2575
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
2576
      developers.

2761
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
2762
      need toolset specific information.
2763
 
2764
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.

Minor changes:
2895
    * Jats label command
2896
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2897
      Not recommended for general use.
2898
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2899
      directories within the current view.
2900
 
2901
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2902
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2903
      elsewhere.
2904
 
2905
    * Jats save_build
2906
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2907
      the determination of a branch.
2908
 
2909
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2910
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2911
 
2912
    * Jats build
2913
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2914
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2915
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2916
 
2917
    * Borland6 toolset
2918
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2919
      to match the documented install location of:
2920
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2921
 
2922
    * Jats build
2923
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2924
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2925
      This is a very quick operation.
2926
 
2927
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2928
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2929
 
2930
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2931
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2932
      files are only recreated if need be.
2933
 
2934
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2935
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2936
      make the package.
2937
 
2938
    * Jats sandbox
2939
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2940
 
2941
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2942
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2943
 
2944
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2945
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2946
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2947
      is performed.
2948
 
2949

      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2988
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2989
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2990
 
2991
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2992
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly

2997
 
2998
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2999
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3000
      directory tree.
3001
 
3002
    * New command: jats man
3003
      Produces full help on a specified item.
3004
 
3005
Internal changes:
3006
    * jats upddep
3007
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.

323 dpurdie 3014
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
3015
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3016
Major changes:
3017
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3018
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3019
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3020
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3021
 
3022
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3023
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3024
 
3025
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3026
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3027
 
3028
      Examples:
3029
            jats upddep -show
3030
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3031
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3032
 
3033
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3034
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3035
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3036
 
3037
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3038
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3039
 
3040
Minor changes:
3041
 
3042
Internal changes:
3043
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
3044
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 3047
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3048
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3049
Major changes:
3050
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3051
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3052
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3053
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3054
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3055
      stream.
3056
 
3057
      Example:
3058
 
3059
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3060
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3061
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3062
                     );
3063
Minor changes:
3064
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3065
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3066
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3067
      directive.
3068
 
3069
    * GCC Toolkit
3070
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3071
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3072
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3073
      the point of termination.
3074
 
3075
    * Jats save_build utility
3076
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3077
      under windows.
3078
 
3079
    * Jats sandbox
3080
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3081
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3082
      in different sandboxes.
3083
 
3084
    * Jats release
3085
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3086

3089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3090
Major changes:
3091
 
3092
Minor changes:
3093
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3094
      Added -locatedir=name
3095
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3096
      directory.
3097
 
3098
    * jats label utility
3099
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3100
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3101
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3102
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3103
 
3104
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3105

315 dpurdie 3108
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3109
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3110
 
3111
Minor changes:
3112
    * WinCe Toolsets
3113
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3114
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3115
        noExceptions            - Disable
3116
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3117
      Example:
3118
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3119
 
3120
    * Solaris targets
3121
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3122
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3123
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3124
      machine type.
3125
 
3126
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3127
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3129
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3130
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3131
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3132
      project files.
3133
 
3134
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3135
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3136
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3137
 
3138
Minor changes:
3139
    * Added more internal documentation
3140
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3141
 
3142
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3143
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3144
 
3145
    * Jats save_build utility
3146
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3147
      under windows.
3148
 
3149
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3150
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3151
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3152
      libraries.
3153
 
3154
    * Solaris builds
3155
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3156
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3157
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3158
      of the build failure.
3159
 
3160
 
3161
Internal changes:
3162
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3163
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3164
 
3165
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3166
      PkgArchive topics.

3170
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3171
Major changes:
3172
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3173
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3174
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3175
      existing 32-bit builds.
3176
 
3177
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3178
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3179
 
3180
Minor changes:
3181
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3182
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3183
 
3184
    * Package searching
3185
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3186
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3187
 
3188
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3189
 
3190
    * jats help
3191
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3192
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3193
 
3194
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3195
      with one of:
3196
        jats -h
3197
        jats help jats
3198
 
3199
Internal:
3200
    * cmdfile utility
3201
      Added macros:
3202
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3203
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3204
 
3205
      Corrected
3206
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3207
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3208
 
3209
      Extended
3210
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3211
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3212
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3213
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

3222
Internal changes
3223
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3224
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3225
      Useful side effects include:
3226
 
3227
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3228
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3229
 
3230
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3231
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3232
 
3233
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3234
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3235
        BuildPkgArchive
3236
 
313 dpurdie 3237
    * Perl Modules
3238
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3239
      release. This will:
3240
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3241
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3242
          reported by ERG.
3243
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
3251
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3252
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3253
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3254
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3255
 
3256
    * Jats label utility
3257
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3258
 
3259
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3260
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3261
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3262
 
3263
    * Jats core
3264
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3265
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3266
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3275
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3276
      This is now fixed.
3277
 
309 dpurdie 3278
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3279
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3280
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3281
 
3282
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3283
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
3284

    * Generating makefiles
3292
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3293
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3294
      an error.
3295
 
3296
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3297
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3298
 
3299
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3300
      Highly specialized directive.

3306
Major changes:
3307
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3308
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3309
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3310
 
3311
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3312
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3313
 
3314
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3315
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3316
      Support includes
3317
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3318
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3319
 
3320
Minor changes:
3321
    * Build file processing
3322
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3323
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3324
 
3325
    * MOS builds
3326
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3327
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3328
 
3329
    * MOS builds
3330
      New 'known' product: PICP
3331
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3332
 
3333
    * GenerateFiles directive
3334
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3335
        under windows.
3336
 
3337
        .
3338
 
3339
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3340
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3341
 
3342
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3343
      to the output stream.
3344
 
3345
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3346
 
3347
    * Windows Shell
3348
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3349
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3350
 
3351
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3352
 
3353
    * H8S toolset
3354
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3355
 
3356
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3357
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3358
 
3359
Internal changes
3360
    * WinCe builds
3361
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3362
      content of the file.
3363
 
3364
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3365
 
3366
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3367
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

Version:  2.79.5000.cr                               Released: 14-Sep-09
3378
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3379
Major changes:
3380
 
3381
Minor changes:
3382
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3383
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3384
      Changes are transparent to users.
3385
 
3386
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3387
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3388
      this occurs.
3389
 
3390
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3391
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3392
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3393
      automated build framework.
3394
 
3395
    * jats sandbox command
3396
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3397
      'create' command.
3398
 
3399
    * jats command aliases. Added
3400
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3401
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
3402

3405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3406
Major changes:
3407
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3408
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3409
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3410
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3411
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3412
      will work as expected
3413
 
3414
Minor changes:
3415
    * VS2008 Toolset
3416
      Picking up incorrect config details
3417
      May result in a warning message.
3418
 
3419
    * gen_cots utility
3420
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3421
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3422
 
3423
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3424
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
3425
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths
3426

      Fixed DLL Version Number
3440
 
3441
    * DELPHI7 Toolset
3442
      Minor correction discovered during use.
3443
      Existing tools to create a .lib from .dll had serious path length issues
3444
      Extended the compiler search paths
3445
 
3446
    * Deployment utilities (old)

289 dpurdie 3470
Version:  2.79.0000.cr                               Released: 10-Jun-09
3471
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3472
Major changes:
3473
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
3474
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
3475
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
3476
 
3477
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
3478
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
3479
 
3480
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
3481
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
3482
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
3483
           names cannot be changed.
3484
 
3485
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
3486
           artifacts is very simplistic.
3487
 
3488
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
3489
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
3490
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
3491
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
3492
 
3493
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
3494
      file.
3495
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
3496
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
3497
      MyPackage.dpk.
3498
 
3499
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
3500
      file.
3501
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
3502
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
3503
      MyDll.dpr.
3504
 
3505
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
3506
      file.
3507
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
3508
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
3509
      MyProg.dpr.
3510
 
3511
Minor changes:
3512
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
3513
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
3514
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
3515
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
3516
 
3517
    * BuildVersion directive
3518
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
3519
      in a Delphi Unit.
3520
 
3521
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
3522
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
3523
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
3524
      'know' the location of the files.
3525
 
3526
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
3527
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
3528
 
3529
Internal Changes:
3530
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
3531
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
3532
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
3533
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
3534
 
3535
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
3536
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
3537
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
3538

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
3541
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3542
Major changes:
3543
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
3544
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
3545
      information for purely C++ builds.
3546
 
289 dpurdie 3547
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
3548
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 3549
 
289 dpurdie 3550
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
3551
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
3552
            Manager
287 dpurdie 3553
 
3554
Minor changes:
3555
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
3556
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
3557
 
3558
    * updatenodespec utility
3559
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
3560
      Manager database.

3573
      Remove warning created during normal operation
3574
 
3575

3581
    * New Platform: H400
3582
      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
3583
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
3584
 
3585
Minor changes:
3586
    * MergeLibrary directive
3587
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
3588
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
3589

3595
 
3596
Minor changes:
3597
    * New command: jats make show
3598
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
3599
      used in the build.
3600
 
3601
    * Escrow command
3602
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
3603
 
3604
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
3605
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3606
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3607
 
3608
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3609
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
3610
 
3611

279 dpurdie 3612

277 dpurdie 3613
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3614
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3615
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3616
 
279 dpurdie 3617
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3618
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3619
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3620
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3621
 
3622
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3623
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3624
 
3625
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3626
 
3627
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3628
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3629
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3630
 
3631
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3632
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3633
        processed.
3634
 
3635
      Removed the '-delete' option
3636
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3637
 
277 dpurdie 3638
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3639
    * Sandbox command
3640
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3641
 
3642
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3643
      target from consideration in the build set.
3644
 
3645
    * MCR Toolset
3646
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3647
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3648
 
3649
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3650
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3651
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3652
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3653
 
3654
    * Jats run_test command
3655
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3656
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3657
 
3658
    * descpkg file
3659
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3660
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3661
 
3662
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3663
     Now contains build trace information
3664
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3665
 
3666
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3667
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3668
     it contains 'jar' files.
3669
 
3670
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3671
 
3672
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3673
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3674
 
3675
   * BuildVersion directive
3676
     Form:
3677
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3678
     now works as expected.
3679
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3680
 
3681
Internal Changes:
3682
 
3683
    * Error reporting mechanism
3684
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
3685
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
3686
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
3696
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
3697
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
3698
    then starts.
3699
 
3700
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3701
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
3702
 
3703
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
3704
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3705
    non-platform option.
3706
 
279 dpurdie 3707
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

3719
 
3720
    * Jats Utility: dstatus
3721
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
3722
 
3723
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
3724
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
3725
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
3726
 
3727
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
3728
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
3729
 
3730
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
3731
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
3732
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
3733
        GBE_MAKE_CMD                - Current make target
3734
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
3735
 
3736
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
3737
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
3738
      to the invoked application.
3739
 
3740
Internal Changes:
3741
    * JatsCopy Package

3743
      CopyDir now supports MatchDirs
3744
 
3745
    * JatsMakeConfig Package
3746
      Added class to read in the parsed makefile.pl data for the current
3747
      build target.
3748
 
3749
    * Jmake - Jats Makefile Supervisor
3750
      Export GBE_MAKE_* EnvVars to directly export the current makefile
3751
      environment.

    * Jats command: sandbox
3761
      Support subcommands "clean" and "clobber"

      up operations work correctly.
3764
 
3765
    * Makefile generation

3846
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
3847
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
3848

3871
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3872
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3873
 
3874
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

3967
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
3968
      programs.
3969
 
3970
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.

4040
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4041
      Previously was being done at two places
4042
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4043
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4044
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.

4105
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4106
 
4107
Minor changes:
4108
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4109
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

4119
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4120
 
4121
      New platforms:
4122
        CSHARP2005
4123
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4124
         Support extends to allow:
4125
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4126
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4127
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4128
 
4129
        VS2005
4130
         Support extends to allow:
4131
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4132
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4133
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4134
 
4135
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4136
      through a version selector:
4137
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4138
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4139
 
4140
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4141
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4142
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4143
 
4144
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4145
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4146
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4147
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4148
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4149
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4150
          under VS2005.
4151
 
4152
Minor changes:
4153
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

4155
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4156
 
4157
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4158
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4159
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4160
 
4161
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4162
 
4163
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4164
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4165
 
4166
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4167
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4168
      a minimal value of perl.
4169
 
4170
      Removed excessive require statements.
4171
 
4172
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake

4174
      Include JATS specific files for
4175
        1) Windows
4176
        2) Linux
4177
 
4178
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4179
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4180
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4181
      machines.
4182
 
4183
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4184
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC

4188
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4189
 
4190
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4191
      wrapper scripts.
4192
 
4193
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4194
      Correct problem with location of build files.

4224
      was added.
4225

4247
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4248
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4249
  * New toolset and platform
4250
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4251
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4252
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4253
    this platform.
4254
 
4255
Minor changes:
4256
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4257
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4258
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4259
    work.
4260
 
4261
  * Jats utility: release
4262
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4263
    published to dpkg_archive.
4264
 
249 dpurdie 4265
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4266
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4267
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4268
    supported for ANT builds.
4269
 
4270
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4271
        releasemanager.releasename
4272
        releasemanager.projectname
4273
 
4274
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4275
    tagged data item of the form
4276
 
4277
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4278
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4279
 
4280
  * Mug File Generation
4281
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4282
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4283
 
4284
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4285
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4286
    required.
4287
 
4288
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4289
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4290
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4291
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4292
    the files in order to use them.
4293
 
4294
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4295
    locate the file.
4296
 
4297
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4298
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4299
 
4300
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4301
        * CSharp
4302
        * Properties
4303
        * WinRC
4304
 
4305
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4306
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4307
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4308
    Value is correctly assigned.

4313
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4314
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4315
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4316
 
4317
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4318
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4319
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4320
 
4321
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4322
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4323
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4324
 
4325
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4326
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4327
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4328
 
4329
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4330
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4331
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4332
    correct.
4333
 
4334
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4335
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4336
 
4337
Minor changes:
4338
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4339
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4340
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4341
 
4342
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4343
    This will simplify new user setup.
4344
 
4345
  * All Unix Toolsets
4346
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4347
    on unix systems
4348
 
4349
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4350
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4351
    on some Solaris Machines.
4352
 
4353
  * JATS -version=<version>
4354
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4355
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

4556
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 4557
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
4558
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
4559
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
4560
 
4561
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4562
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
4563
 
4564
    * Jats wrapper
4565
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
4566
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
4567

Major changes:
229 dpurdie 4572
    * Jats Release Mechanism
4573
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
4574
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
4575
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
4576
 
4577
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
4578
 
4579
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
4580
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
4581
 
4582
    * Running Jats
4583
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
4584
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
4585
      This may affect some windows developers.
4586
 
4587
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
4588
      Future versions will generate an error.
4589
 
4590
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
4591
 
4592
Minor changes:
4593
    * Perl Version Check
4594
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
4595
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
4596
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
4597
 
4598
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
4599
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
4600
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
4601
      build.
4602
 
4603
    * Jats Internals
4604
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4605
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4606
 
4607
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4608
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4609
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4610
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4611
      process.
4612
 
4613
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4614
      Only works under Windows.
4615
 
4616
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4617
 
4618
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4619
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4620
 
4621
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4622
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4623
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4624
 
4625
    * Jats eprog
4626
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4627
      directory.
4628
 
4629
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4630
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4631
      build metrics.
4632

4636
Major changes:
4637
 
4638
Minor changes:
4639
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4640
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4641
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4642
      automated build system. New options are:
4643
        -pname=Package_Name
4644
        -pversion=Package_Version
4645
 
4646
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4647
      transferring the package. New options are:
4648
        -test
4649
 
4650
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4651
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4652
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4653
 
4654
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4655
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4656
 
4657
    * Solaris Toolset
4658
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4659
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4660
      programs are still supported.

4665
Major changes:
4666
 
4667
Minor changes:
4668
    * WINCE toolsets
4669
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4670
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4671
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4672
      when header files cannot be found.
4673
 
4674
    * GenerateFiles directive
4675
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4676
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4677
      that are difficult to solve.
4678
 
4679
    * MakePerlModule directive
4680
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4681
      to the the module builder.
4682
 
4683
    * Jats Tool: label
4684
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4685
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4686
      -dirs=xxx options.
4687
 
4688
    * Jats Tool: release
4689
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4690
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4691
 
4692
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4693
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4694
 
4695
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4696
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4697
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4698
 
4699
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

4705
Major changes:
4706
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
4707
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
4708
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
4709
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
4710
 
4711
Minor changes:
4712
    * label utility
4713
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
4714
 
4715
    * make package and install operations
4716
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
4717
      transfer.
4718
 
4719
    * make clean up
4720
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4721
 
4722
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4723
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4724
      minor file transformations such as:
4725
        Copy, with optional rename
4726
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4727
        Perform simple TAG replacement
4728
 
4729
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
4730
 
4731
    * jats release utility
4732
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4733
      in place.
4734
 
4735
    * escrow utility
4736
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
4737
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
4745
    * Makefile generation
4746
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4747
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4748
      generate phase early.

4753
Major changes:
4754
 
4755
Minor changes:
4756
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4757
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4758
 
4759
    * Makefile generation
4760
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4761
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4762
 
4763
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4764
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4765
 
4766
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4767
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4768
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4769
 
4770
    * jats_rewrite utility
4771
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4772
 
4773
    * jats escrow utility
4774
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4775
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4776
 
4777
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4778
      inconsistent packages.
4779
 
4780
    * jats make help
4781
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4782
      available within the current build.
4783
 
4784
    * jats makefiles
4785
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4786
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4787
 
4788
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4789
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4790
 
4791
    * gcc toolset
4792
      SharedLibries.
4793
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4794
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4795
 
4796
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4797
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4798
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4799
 
4800
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4801
        New options:
4802
            --MultiScan
4803
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4804
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4805
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4811
Major changes:
4812
 
4813
Minor changes:
4814
    PackageLib directive
4815
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4816
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4817
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4818
 
4819
    MakefileGenerate directive
4820
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4821
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4822
 
4823
    Multiple Parent detection
4824
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4825
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4826
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4827
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4828
 
4829
    Solaris Toolset
4830
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4831
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4832
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4833
    link.
4834
 
4835
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4836
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4837
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4838
 
4839
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4840
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4841
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4842
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4847
Major changes:
4848
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4849
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4850
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4851
 
4852
    Summary of changes:
4853
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4854
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4855
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4856
          flexibility.
4857
 
4858
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4859
 
4860
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4861
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4862
          interface directory and associated build information.
4863
 
4864
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4865
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4866
          than one second.
4867
 
4868
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4869
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4870
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4871
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4872
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4873
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4874
 
4875
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4876
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4877
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4878
 
4879
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4880
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4881
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4882
          building them.
4883
 
4884
        - Detection of build file changes
4885
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4886
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4887
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4888
 
4889
        - Quieter make output
4890
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4891
 
4892
 
4893
Minor changes:
4894
    MakeAnt Directive
4895
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4896
 
4897
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4898
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4899
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4900
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4901
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4902
 
4903
    CSHARP toolset
4904
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4905

Minor changes:
4912
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4913
    are generated.
4914
 
4915
    MakeAnt
4916
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4917
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4918
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4919
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4920
 
4921
    MCR platform

Minor changes:
4931
    MakeAnt directive extended
4932
    New option: --PackageBase
4933
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4934
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4935
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4936
 
4937
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4938
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4939
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4940
        package image being created.

4959
    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4960
 
4961
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4962
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4963
 
4964
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4965
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4966
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4967
 
4968
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4969
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4970
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4971
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command
4972
         tar -xjf /net/auperaunx26/export/devl/dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots/

Minor changes:
4999
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5000
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5001
 
5002
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5003
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5004
      last.
5005
 
5006
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5007
 
5008
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5009
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5010
 
5011
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5012
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5013
 
5014
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5015
 
5016
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5017
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5018
 
5019
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5020
 
5021
 
5022
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5023
           with the --System option
5024
 
5025
    * LMOS target platform
5026
      Includes LINUX_ETX

5031
Major changes:
5032
 
5033
Minor changes:
5034
    * Solaris Toolset
5035
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5036
      dependent packages.
5037
 
5038
    * RunTest operation
5039
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5040
 
5041
    * Csharp toolkit
5042
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
5043

5045
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
5046
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5047
Major changes:
5048
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5049
 
5050
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5051
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5052
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5053
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5054
      path.
5055
 
5056
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5057
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5058
      reproducible.
5059
 
5060
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5061
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5062
 
5063
      There are several aspects to the change
5064
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5065
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5066
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5067
 
5068
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5069
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5070
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5071
          controlled separately.
5072
 
5073
Minor changes:
5074
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5075
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5076
        Remove duplicates
5077
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5078
 
5079

5080
Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
5081
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5082
Major changes:
5083
 
5084
Minor changes:
5085
    * Makefile sanity test
5086
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5087
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5088
 
5089
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5090
      x86 machine.
5091
 
5092
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5093
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5094
 
5095
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5096
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5097
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5098
Major changes:
5099
    * RunTest directive
5100
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5101
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5102
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5103
 
5104
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5105
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5106
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5107
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5108
 
5109
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5110
        builder within the current toolset.
5111
 
5112
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5113
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5114
 
5115
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5116
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5117
      containing the RunTest directive.
5118
 
5119
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5120
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5121
 
5122
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5123
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5124
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5125
 
5126
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5127
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5128
                            P or D suffix.
5129
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5130
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5131
 
5132
Minor changes:
5133
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5134
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5135
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5136
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5137
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5138
 
5139
    * Save Build Utility
5140
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5141
      used in a ripple build.
5142
 
5143
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5144
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5145
 
5146
    * Release Utility
5147
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5148
      when an error is encountered.
5149
 
5150
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5151
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5152
 
5153
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5154
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5155
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5156
 
5157
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5158
      before the makefiles are created.
5159
 
5160
    * TestProg directive
5161
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5162
 
5163
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5164
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5165

5169
Major changes:
5170
    * New build target
5171
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5172
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5173
 
5174
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5175
            DEVLINUX
5176
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5177
 
5178
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5179
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5180
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5181
 
5182
Minor changes:
5183
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5184
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5185
 
5186
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5187
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5188
 
5189
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5190
      and .cs files.
5191
 
5192
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5193
      thing.
5194
 
5195
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5196
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5197
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5198
      were it places temp files.
5199
 
5200
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5201
      interaction with other builds.
5202
 
5203
    * Release utility command
5204
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5205
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5206
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5223
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5224
 
5225
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5259
 
5260
  * Removed the following targets
5261
        TP5600

5265
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5266
 
5267
  * Deployment
5268
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5269
 
5270
  * build.pl
5271
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5272
 
5273
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5274
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5275
 
5276
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5277
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5278
    build.
5279
 
5280
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5281
 
5282
  * Tool: escrow
5283
     New features
5284
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5285
     are not in the SBOM.
5286
 
5287
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5288

5294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5295
Major changes:
5296
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5297
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5298
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5299
 
5300
  * GenerateFiles
5301
    Added the options:
5302
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5303
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5304
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5305
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5306
 
5307
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5308
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5309
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5310
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5311
                                  required.
5312
 
5313
 
5314
Minor changes:
5315
  * GenerateFile directive
5316
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5317
 
5318
  * GCC Toolset
5319
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5320
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5321
    be rebuilt.
5322
 
5323
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5324
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.

Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5328
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5329
Major changes:
5330
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5331
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5332
    environment variables.
5333
 
5334
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5335
            moved.
5336
 
5337
    This will affect users that:
5338
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5339
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5340
 
5341
        2) Use the ABT system
5342
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5343
           the required configuration
5344
 
5345
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5346
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5347
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5348
    Windows
5349
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5350
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5351
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5352
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5353
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5354
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5355
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5356
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5357
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5358
 
5359
 
5360
  * New build platforms
5361
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5362
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5363
 
5364
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5365
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5366
 
5367
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5368
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5369
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5370
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5371
 
5372
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5373
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5374
    release.
5375
 
5376
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5377
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5378
 
5379
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5380
    need to be converted.
5381
 
5382
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5383
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5384
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5385
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5386
    used for different targets platforms.
5387
 
5388
  * Sandbox support
5389
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5390
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5391
 
5392
    New command: jats sandbox ...
5393
 
5394
Minor changes:
5395
 
5396
 
5397
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5398
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5399
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5400
Major changes:
5401
  * MakeAnt directive
5402
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5403
 
5404
    New options
5405
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5406
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5407
 
5408
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5409
    run_unit_tests phase.
5410
 
5411
  * Sandbox support
5412
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5413
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5414
 
5415
Minor changes:
5416
  * jats build
5417
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5418
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5419
 
5420
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5421
 
5422
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5423
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5424
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5425
 
5426
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5427
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5428
 
5429
  * JATS.BAT
5430
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5431
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5432
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5433
 
5434
  * jats label
5435
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5436
 
5437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5438
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
5439
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5440
Major changes:
5441
  * New build platform:
5442
        LMOS_TP5600
5443
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5444
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5445
 
5446
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
5447
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
5448
    describe the group of platforms.
5449
 
5450
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5451
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
5452
    build these targets.
5453
 
5454
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
5455
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
5456
 
5457
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
5458
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
5459
 
5460
  * New build platform: WINCE
5461
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
5462
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
5463
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
5464
 
5465
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
5466
            WCEIT3000
5467
            WCEPA961
5468
            WCEPA962
5469
            WCEPCM7220
5470
            WCEPSION_420
5471
            WCEPSPC_arm
5472
            WCEPSPC_emu
5473
            WCEX86A420
5474
            WCEX86A500
5475
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
5476
 
5477
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
5478
 
5479
 *  JATS makefile.pl
5480
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
5481
    that contain packaging directives.
5482
 
5483
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
5484
    very unusual configurations.
5485
 
5486
Minor changes:
5487
  * Directive: PackageFile
5488
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
5489
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
5490
    an '='.
5491
 
5492
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
5493
    of "--Subdir=etc".
5494
 
5495
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
5496
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
5497
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
5498
 
5499
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
5500
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
5501
 
5502
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5503
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
5504
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5505
Major changes:
5506
 
5507
  * JATS release command
5508
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
5509
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
5510
 
5511
    Rules are:
5512
        Modify a file:      File will branch
5513
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
5514
                            File will be placed on a branch
5515
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
5516
                            New directory will branch
5517
 
5518
Minor changes:
5519
  * JATS release command
5520
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
5521
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
5522
 
5523
  * JATS label command
5524
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
5525
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
5526
 
5527
  * JATS make
5528
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
5529
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
5530
    was re-packaged.
5531
 
5532
  * JATS escrow
5533
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
5534
    Use jats escrow -help for details
5535
 
5536
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
5537
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
5538
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
5539
 
5540
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
5541
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
5542
    interface directory.
5543
 
5544
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
5545
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
5546
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
5547
    directory as seen by the package.
5548
 
5549
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
5550
 
5551
  * JAVA 6
5552
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
5553
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
5554
 
5555
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
5556
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
5557
 
5558
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
5559
 
5560
  * Jats command: vars
5561
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
5562
    These indicate potential problems.
5563
 
5564
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5565
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
5566
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5567
Major changes:
5568
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
5569
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
5570
    libarry is also created.
5571
 
5572
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
5573
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
5574
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
5575
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
5576
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
5577
    information contained within the file.
5578
 
5579
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
5580
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
5581
 
5582
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
5583
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
5584
 
5585
  * Building Perl Modules
5586
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
5587
    documentation on the build machine.
5588
 
5589
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
5590
 
5591
Minor changes:
5592
  * jats create_dpkg
5593
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
5594
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
5595
 
5596
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5597
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
5598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5599
Major changes:
5600
  * JATS JAVA build target
5601
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
5602
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5603
 
5604
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5605
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5606
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5607
    is then picked up as the default version.
5608
 
5609
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5610
    build.pl file.
5611
 
5612
Minor changes:
5613
  * jats release
5614
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5615
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5616
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5617
 
5618
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5619
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5620
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5621
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5622
    the name of the view.
5623
 
5624
  * GenerateFiles directive
5625
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5626
 
5627
  * MOS Toolset
5628
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5629
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5630
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5631
 
5632
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5633
 
5634
 
5635
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5636
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5637
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5638
Major changes:
5639
 
5640
Minor changes:
5641
  * JATS environment
5642
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5643
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5644
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5645
 
5646
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5647
 
5648
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5649
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5650
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5651
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5652
    to be packaged.
5653
 
5654
  * Generated makefiles
5655
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5656
 
5657
  * Generating MOS THX files
5658
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5659
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5660
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5661
 
5662
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5663
 
5664
  * JATS release
5665
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5666
 
5667
  * JATS extract
5668
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5669
 
5670
  * JATS Toolset
5671
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5672
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5673
 
5674

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5676
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5677
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5678
Major changes:
5679
 
5680
Minor changes:
5681
  * jats label
5682
    Added a -vob=name option
5683
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5684
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5685
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5686
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5687
 
5688
    Added a -user=name option
5689
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5690
    label to the named user.
5691
 
5692
  * jats release
5693
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5694
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5695
 
5696
  * JATS build.pl
5697
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5698
    ie:
5699
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

5703
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5704
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5705
Major changes:
5706
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5707
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5708
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5709
    the makefile internals. ie:
5710
        --Var(BuildName)
5711
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5712
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5713
 
5714
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5715
 
5716
  * GenerateFiles
5717
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5718
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5719
 
5720
  * BuildPlatforms
5721
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5722
 
5723
Minor changes:
5724
  * GCC Toolset
5725
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5726
 
5727
Internal changes:
5728
  * GenerateFiles
5729
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5730
 
5731
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5732
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5733
 
5734
 
5735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5736
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5737
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5738
Major changes:
5739
  * Caching JATS
5740
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5741
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5742
 
5743
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5744
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5745
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5746
 
5747
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5748
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5749
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5750
 
5751
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5752
 
5753
Minor changes:
5754
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5755
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5756
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5757
 
5758
  * jats build
5759
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5760
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5761
    processed by the build.
5762
 
5763
  * jats build
5764
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5765
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5766
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5767
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5768
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5769
 
5770
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5771
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5772
    Path is not specified.
5773
 
5774
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5775
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5776
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5777
        --Dir=$Pinc
5778
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5779
 
5780
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5781
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5782
    Windows platform.
5783
 
5784
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5785
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5786
            by 'purecov.
5787
 
5788
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5789
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5790
 
5791
        - OPTIONS=purify
5792
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5793
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5794
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5795

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
5799
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5800
Major changes:
5801
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5802
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5803
    Example:
5804
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5805
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5806
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5807
 
5808
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5809
    been determined.
5810
 
5811
Minor changes:
5812
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5813
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5814
    located at build-time.
5815
 
5816
  * Unix based systems
5817
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5818
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5819
 
5820
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5821
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5822
    driver being built.
5823

5837
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
5838
 
5839

5840
    dependancy information within a package.
5841
 
5842
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
5843
    messages.

    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5853
 
5854
    GenerateFiles.
5855
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5856
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5857
                      be run on every invocation.
5858
 
5859
 
5860
Minor changes:

5863
 
5864
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
5865
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
5866
  There are two mechanism:
5867
 
5868
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5869
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5870
 
5871
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5872
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
5873
 
5874
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
5875
  default.
5876
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
5877
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

5883
  * SunWorks Toolset
5884
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5885
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5886
    It is based on machine type.
5887
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5888
 
5889
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5890
 
5891
Minor changes:
5892

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5919
 
5920
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5921
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5922
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5923
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5924
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5925
 
5926
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5927
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5928
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5929
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5930
 
5931
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5932
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

5945
 
5946
Minor changes:
5947
  * JATS wrapper script
5948
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5949
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5950
    to setup links to system programs.

5973
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5974
        no_misalign         - Default
5975
 
5976
        multithread         - Default
5977
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
5978

        debug_debuginfo
5991
 
5992
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5993
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5994
    Theses are:
5995
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5996
        SOLARIS_AMD
5997
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5998
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5999
 
6000
Minor changes:
6001

Minor changes:
6014
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6015
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6016
    messages
6017
 
6018
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6019
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6020
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6021
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6022

Major changes:
6027
 
6028
Minor changes:
6029
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6030
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6031
    library without creating the body of the library:
6032
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6033
 
6034
 
6035
  * MOS toolsets
6036
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6037
    library without creating the body of the library:
6038
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6039
 
6040
  * JATS BIN directories
6041
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6042
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6043
    using autoconf.
6044
 
6045
  * Generate directive
6046
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6047
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6048
 
6049
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6050

6064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6065
Major changes:
6066
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6067
    Initial release.
6068
 
6069
  * Packaging directives
6070
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6071
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6072
 
6073
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6074
        SOLARIS
6075
        WIN32
6076
 
6077
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6078
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6079
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6080
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6081
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6082
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6083
 
6084
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6085
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6086
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6087
 
6088
 
6089
Minor changes:
6090
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6091
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6092
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6093
 
6094
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6095
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6096
    location
6097
 
6098
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6099
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6100
 
6101
  * Utility genrc
6102
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6103
 
6104
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6105
    Added option: -new
6106
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6107
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6108
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6109
 
6110
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6111
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6112
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6113
 
6114
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6115
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6116
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6117
 
6118
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6119
   features - in a uniform manner.
6120
 
6121
 
6122
Internal Changes:
6123
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6124
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6125
 
6126
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6127
        1) Platform information available at build time
6128
        2) Dynamic platform names
6129
 
6130
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6131
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6132
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6133
 
6134
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6135
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6136
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.

6138
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6139
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6140
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6141
    needed.
6142
 
6143
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6144
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6145
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6146
    files from all of these.

Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6150
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6151
Major changes:
6152
 
6153
Minor changes:
6154
  * WinCE toolset
6155
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6156
 
6157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6158
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6160
Major changes:
6161
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6162
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6163
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6164
 
6165
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6166
 
6167
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6168
    the operations.
6169
 
6170
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6171
 
6172
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6173
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6174
 
6175
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6176
 
6177
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6178
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6179
 
6180
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6181
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6182
    Extended the built-in help
6183
    Added useful error messages
6184
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6185
 
6186
  * WinCE toolset
6187
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6188
 
6189
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6190
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6191
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6192
 
6193
Minor changes:
6194
  * JATS wrapper script
6195
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6196
    the command line.
6197
 
6198
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6199
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6200
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6201
 
6202
Internal Changes:
6203
  * Common Error Reporting
6204
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6205
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6206
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6207
    level.
6208
 
6209
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6210
    displayed.
6211
 
6212
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6213
 
6214
  * Added JatsSystem module
6215
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6216
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6217
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

6219
Major changes:
6220
 
6221
Minor changes:
6222
  * BR Compiler toolset
6223
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6224
    .def files to include other files.
6225
 
6226
  * IAR toolset
6227
    Added AT7272 support
6228
 
6229
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6230
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6231
 
6232
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6233
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6234
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6235
Major changes:
6236
 
6237
Minor changes:
6238
  * BR Compiler toolset
6239
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6240
    use.
6241
 
6242
 
6243
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6244
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6245
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6246
Major changes:
6247
 
6248
Minor changes:
6249
  * Mictotec toolset
6250
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6251
    builds.
6252
 
6253
  * JATS Core
6254
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6255
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6256
    behaviour.
6257
 
6258
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6259
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6260
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6261
Major changes:
6262
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6263
    Deployment package will be affected.
6264
 
6265
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6266
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6267
 
6268
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6269
 
6270
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6271
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6272
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6273
    packages.
6274
 
6275
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6276
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6277
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6278
 
6279
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6280
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6281
 
6282
Minor changes:
6283
  * SubDir directive
6284
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6285
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6286
 
6287
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6288
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6289
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6290
    of the file usage.
6291
 
6292
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6293
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6294
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6295
 
6296
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6297
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6298
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6299
 
6300
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6301
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6302
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6303
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6304
 
6305
 
6306
Internal Changes:
6307
  * Code refactor
6308
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6309
 
6310
  * Deployment utilities
6311
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6312
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6313
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6314
    the module can locate the file.
6315
 
6316
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6317
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6318
 
6319
  * JATS core
6320
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6321
 
6322
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6323
 
6324
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6325
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6326
    through the use of environment variables.
6327
 
6328
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6329
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6330
 
6331
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6332
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6333
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6334
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6335
 
6336
  * Make environment
6337
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6338
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6339
 
6340
 
6341
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6342
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6344
Major changes:
6345
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6346
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6347
 
6348
 
6349
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6350
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6351
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6352
 
6353
Not Released.
6354
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6355
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6356
 
6357
 
6358
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6359
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6360
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6361
Major changes:
6362
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6363
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6364
    radically replaced.
6365
 
6366
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6367
    Usage:
6368
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6369
 
6370
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6371
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6372
    this solution:
6373
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6374
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6375
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6376
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6377
 
6378
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6379
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6380
    order to work.
6381
 
6382
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6383
    reduced functionality.
6384
 
6385
 
6386
Minor changes:
6387
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6388
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6389
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6390
 
6391
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6392
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6393
    within the makefiles.
6394
        Options:
6395
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6396
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6397
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6398
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6399
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6400
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6401
        Useage:
6402
 
6403
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6404
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6405
 
6406
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6407
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6408
    is not in the current directory.
6409
 
6410
  * Jats Command: ant'
6411
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6412
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6413
 
6414
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6415
 
6416
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6417
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6418
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6419
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6420
 
6421
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6422
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6423
    Thus
6424
 
6425
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6426
 
6427
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6428
 
6429

6431
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6433
Major changes:
6434
 
6435
Minor changes:
6436
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6437
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6438
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6439
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6440
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6441
 
6442
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6443
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6444
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6445
 
6446
Internal changes:
6447
  * JATS toolsets
6448
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6449
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6450
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6451
 
6452
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6453
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6454
 
6455
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6456
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6457
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6458
Major changes:
6459
  * Jats command: etool
6460
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6461
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6462
 
6463
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6464
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6465
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6466
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6467
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6468
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6469
 
6470
Minor changes:
6471
 
6472
 
6473
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6474
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
6475
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6476
Major changes:
6477
  * JATS environment variables
6478
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
6479
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
6480
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
6481
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
6482
        will not publish packages in this repository.
6483
 
6484
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
6485
              Remote repository
6486
 
6487
    Added GBE_DPLY
6488
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
6489
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
6490
 
6491
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6492
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
6493
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
6494
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
6495
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
6496
 
6497
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
6498
    processed once and it will be processed last.
6499
 
6500
 
6501
Minor changes:
6502
  * JATS utility: build
6503
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
6504
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
6505
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
6506
 
6507
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
6508
    Ensure label is not locked
6509
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
6510
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
6511
 
6512
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
6513
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
6514
    to a specific type of build.
6515
 
6516
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
6517
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
6518
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
6519
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
6520
 
6521
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
6522
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
6523
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
6524
 
6525
  * JATS utility: release
6526
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
6527
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
6528
 
6529
  * JATS utility: label
6530
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
6531
    when it is being created.
6532
 
6533
Internal Changes
6534
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
6535
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
6536
 
6537
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
6538
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
6539
 
6540
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
6541
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
6542
    different results.
6543
 
6544
  * ToolsetRequire directive
6545
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
6546
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
6547

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

6708
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6709
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6710
Major changes:
6711
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6712
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6713
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6714
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6715
 
6716
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6717
 
6718
Minor changes:
6719
  * None
6720
 
6721
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6722
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6723
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6724
Major changes:
6725
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6726
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6727
    ie:
6728
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6729
 
6730
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6731
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6732
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6733
    environments are compatible.
6734
 
6735
 
6736
Minor changes:
6737
  * BuildName option
6738
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6739
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6740
 
6741
  * jats.bat
6742
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6743
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6744
 
6745
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6746
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6747
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6748
Major changes:
6749
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6750
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6751
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6752
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6753
 
6754
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6755
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6756
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6757
 
6758
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6759
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6760
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6761
 
6762
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6763
    transferred.
6764
 
6765
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6766
    See notes below.
6767
 
6768
  * WIN32 toolset
6769
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6770
    correctly.
6771
 
6772
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6773
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6774
 
6775
  * BuildVersion
6776
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6777
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6778
    other langauges as needed.
6779
 
6780
 
6781
Minor changes:
6782
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6783
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6784
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6785
    version strings.
6786
 
6787
  * GenerateFiles directive
6788
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6789
    package or an imported package.
6790
 
6791
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6792
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6793
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6794
 
6795
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6796
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6797
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6798
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6799
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6800
 
6801
Internal Changes
6802
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6803
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6804
    of utilities.
6805
 
6806
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6807
    functions.
6808
 
6809
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6810
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6811
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6812
Major changes:
6813
  * Generated makefiles
6814
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6815
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6816
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6817
 
6818
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6819
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6820
    incorrectly processing:
6821
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6822
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6823
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6824
    confused.
6825
 
6826
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6827
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6828
    The construct
6829
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6830
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6831
    then it works.
6832
 
6833
  * MakeAnt directive
6834
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6835
 
6836
    This option has the following effects
6837
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6838
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6839
 
6840
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6841
           early - in the generated files phase.
6842
 
6843
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6844
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6845
 
6846
 
6847
Minor changes:
6848
  * JATS post-installation script
6849
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6850
 
6851
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6852
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6853
    windows.
6854
 
6855
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6856
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6857
 
6858
  * Jats wrapper script
6859
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6860
        1) Contain spaces
6861
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6862
 
6863
  * Toolset
6864
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6865
 
6866
  * JAVA toolset
6867
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6868
    directive:
6869
 
6870
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6871
 
6872
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6873
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6874
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6875
 
6876
  * GCC Toolset
6877
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6878
 
6879
  * Makefile generation
6880
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6881
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6882
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6883
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6884
    package could not be used.
6885
 
6886
  * Unit Tests
6887
    The following environment variables are set:
6888
 
6889
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6890
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6891
 
6892
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6893
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6894
 
6895
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6896
 
6897
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6898
 
6899
 
6900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6901
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6902
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6903
Major changes:
6904
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6905
 
6906
    Special features of this toolset.
6907
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6908
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6909
       incorporated within the target image.
6910
 
6911
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6912
       --Set=Name=Value
6913
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6914
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6915
 
6916
       --Ref=name
6917
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6918
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6919
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6920
                will be taken from the build version number.
6921
 
6922
Minor changes:
6923
  * MOS Toolset
6924
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6925
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6926
    packaged.
6927
 
6928
  * Src directive
6929
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6930
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6931
    specifier.
6932
 
6933
  * WIN32 runtime support
6934
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6935
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6936
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6937
 
6938
Internal:
6939
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6940
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6941
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6942
 
6943
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6944
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6945
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6946
Major changes:
6947
    * BuildAlias directive
6948
      Added options.
6949
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6950
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6951
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6952
                          targets.
6953
      Eg:
6954
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6955
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6956
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6957
 
6958
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6959
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6960
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6961
 
6962
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6963
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6964
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6965
 
6966
 
6967
Minor changes:
6968
  * Label utility
6969
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6970
    build.pl file
6971
 
6972
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6973
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6974
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6975
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6976
    --FilterIn option.
6977
 
6978
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6979
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6980
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6981
 
6982
  * Location of descpkg file
6983
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6984
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6985
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6986
 
6987
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6988
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6989
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6990
Major changes:
6991
  * RunTest directive
6992
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6993
    Additional options
6994
      --CopyIn=file
6995
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6996
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6997
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6998
        the test area.
6999
 
7000
    Additional operations
7001
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7002
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7003
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7004
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7005
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7006
    Allows flags:
7007
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7008
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7009
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7010
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7011
 
7012
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7013
    existence is tested.
7014
 
7015
  * Packaging Directives
7016
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7017
    such as LMOS.
7018
 
7019
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7020
 
7021
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7022
 
7023
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7024
 
7025
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7026
 
7027
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7028
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7029
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7030
 
7031
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7032
 
7033
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7034
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7035
 
7036
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7037
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7038
 
7039
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7040
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7041
 
7042
Minor changes:
7043
  * Script directive
7044
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7045
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7046
 
7047
  * JATS environment
7048
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7049
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7050
    the JATS wrapper script.
7051
 
7052
  * Label utility
7053
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7054
    There are three modes of operation:
7055
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7056
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7057
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7058
 
7059
 
7060
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7061
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7062
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7063
Major changes:
7064
 
7065
Minor changes:
7066
  * label utility
7067
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7068
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7069
 
7070
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7071
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7072
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7073
      --ProgLoader=name
7074
 
7075
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7076
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7077
    Options to do this are:
7078
        --TreeDir=name
7079
        --FilterOut=regexp
7080
        --FilterIn=regexp
7081
        --StripDir
7082
 
7083
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7084
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7085
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7086
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7087
 
7088
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7089
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7090
 
7091
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7092
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7093
 
7094
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7095
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7096
 
7097
 
7098
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7099
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7101
Major changes:
7102
    * Make commands
7103
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7104
 
7105
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7106
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7107
 
7108
    * Label utility
7109
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7110
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7111
 
7112
Minor changes:
7113
    * Toolsets
7114
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7115
      variables and overrides.
7116
 
7117
      The make_init target is always run.
7118
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7119
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7120
 
7121
    * Deployment
7122
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7123
      with deployment operations.
7124
 
7125
    * Release utility
7126
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7127
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7128
      restricted by options within the build.
7129
 
7130
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7131
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7132
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7133
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7134
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7135
 
7136
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7137
      directives.
7138
 
7139
    * MakeProject directive
7140
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7141
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7142
 
7143
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7144
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7145
      is preserved.
7146
 
7147
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7148
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7149
      statements.
7150
 
7151
    * Mugfile generation
7152
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7153
      be placed in the target package.
7154
 
7155
 
7156
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7157
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7158
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7159
Major changes:
7160
    * BuildVersion directive
7161
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7162
      number as well as a patch number.
7163
 
7164
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7165
      number.
7166
 
7167
Minor changes:
7168
    * AddFlags directives
7169
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7170
      duplicate flags being added.
7171
 
7172
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7173
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7174
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7175
 
7176
    * Mug File Generation
7177
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7178
 
7179
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7180
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7181
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7182
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7183
     directory.
7184
 
7185
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7186
     reproducible.
7187
 
7188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7189
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7191
Major changes:
7192
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7193
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7194
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7195
      longer a list of directories.
7196
 
7197
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7198
      done within the toolset.
7199
 
7200
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7201
 
7202
    * JATS environment variables
7203
      Redefined variable
7204
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7205
                          Previously was a list that included the
7206
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7207
 
7208
      New variable
7209
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7210
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7211
 
7212
 
7213
Minor changes:
7214
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7215
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7216
      target platforms to be extracted.
7217
 
7218
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7219
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7220
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7221
 
7222
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7223
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7224
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7225
 
7226
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7227
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7228
 
7229
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7230
      Support ANT based XML files
7231
 
7232
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7233
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7234
      structure.
7235
 
7236
    * makefile.pl's
7237
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7238
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7239
 
7240
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7241
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7242
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7243
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7244
 
7245
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7246
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7247
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7248
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7249
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7250
      -- Auto.
7251
 
7252
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7253
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7254
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7255
 
7256
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7257
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7258
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7259
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7260
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7261
 
7262
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7263
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7264
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7265
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7266
      installed on the machine.
7267
 
7268
    * WINCE Targets
7269
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7270
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7271
 
7272
 
7273
 
7274
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7275
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7276
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7277
Major changes:
7278
    * WIN32 platforms
7279
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7280
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7281
      and installed packages.
7282
 
7283
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7284
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7285
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7286
 
7287
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7288
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7289
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7290
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7291
      searched when looking for libraries.
7292
 
7293
Minor changes:
7294
    * GenerateFiles directive
7295
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7296
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7297
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7298
                          and drive letter
7299
 
7300
    * Src directive
7301
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7302
      directory of a package.
7303
 
7304
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7305
 
7306
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7307
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7308
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7309
 
7310
    * jats_rewrite utility
7311
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7312
 
7313
 
7314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7315
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7317
Major changes:
7318
    * SunWorks production builds
7319
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7320
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7321
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7322
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7323
      compiler documentation.
7324
 
7325
    * MOS Toolset
7326
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7327
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7328
 
7329
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7330
 
7331
Minor changes:
7332
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7333
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7334
      This should not affect current users.
7335
 
7336
    * Mugfile generation
7337
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7338
      specified.
7339
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7340
 
7341
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7342
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7344
Major changes:
7345
    MOS Toolset
7346
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7347
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7348
 
7349
Minor changes:
7350
    * Jats wrapper script
7351
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7352
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7353
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7354
 
7355
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7356
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7357
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7358
      may be suspect.
7359
 
7360
    * GenerateFiles directive
7361
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7362
      the pathname to the specified package.

Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7366
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7367
Major changes:
7368
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7369
      build.xml files.
7370
 
7371
Minor changes:
7372
    * WIN32 toolset.
7373
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7374
 
7375
    * MakeAnt
7376
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7377
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7378
 
7379
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7380
 
7381
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7382
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7383
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7384
 
7385
    * MakeAnt directive
7386
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7387
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7388
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7389
 
7390
      Recommended usage:
7391
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7392
 
7393
Internal Changes
7394
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7399
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7400
Major changes:
7401
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7402
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7403
      files packaged into the release.
7404
 
7405
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7409
 
7410
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7411
      The recommended platform is:
7412
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7413
 
7414
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7415
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7416
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7417
      components.
7418
 
7419
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

7423
 
7424
Minor changes:
7425
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7426
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7427
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7428
      by the package to be accessed.
7429
 
7430
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7431
      application or visual studio.
7432
 
7433
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7434
      and the JATS Core path.
7435
 
7436
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7437
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7438
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7439
 
7440
    * MOS Toolset
7441
      Add support for the TPT device
7442
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7443
 
7444
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7445
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7446
 
7447
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7448
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7449
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7450
 
7451
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7452
 
7453
Internal Changes
7454
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7455
      in jats.pl
7456
 
7457
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7458
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7459
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7460
Major changes:
7461
    * JATS wrapper script
7462
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7463
 
7464
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7465
 
7466
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7467
 
7468
Minor changes:
7469
    * Deployment support
7470
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7471
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7472
 
7473
    * 'build'
7474
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
7475
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
7476
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
7477
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
7478
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
7479
 
7480
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
7481
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
7482
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
7483
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
7484
                                      the link phase.
7485
 
7486
    * BuildPkgArchive
7487
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
7488
      Previously these were ignored.
7489
      Minor code cleanup
7490
 
7491
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
7492
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
7493
      Manager "Source Path" field.
7494
 
7495
    * SOLARIS targets
7496
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
7497
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
7498
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
7499
 
7500
    * MugFile generation
7501
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
7502
      included in the final package.
7503
 
7504
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
7505
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
7506
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
7507
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
7508
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
7509
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
7510
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
7511
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
7512
 
7513
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
7514
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
7515
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
7516
            --Option=(some_text)
7517
            --Option=[some_text]
7518
            --Option={some_text}
7519
 
7520
Internal Changes
7521
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
7522
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
7523
      code.
7524
 
7525
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7526
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
7527
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7528
Major changes:
7529
    * JATS wrapper script
7530
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
7531
 
7532
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
7533
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
7534
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
7535
      other components.
7536
 
7537
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
7538
 
7539
    * JATS
7540
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
7541
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
7542
 
7543
    * Build operations
7544
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
7545
      if required packages are built against different versions of
7546
      packages.
7547
 
7548
    * Make operations
7549
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
7550
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
7551
 
7552
Minor changes:
7553
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
7554
      deployment builds.
7555
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
7556
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
7557
 
7558
      Extended the "jats vars" display
7559
 
7560
    * build.pl
7561
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
7562
        processed. Allows
7563
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
7564
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
7565
        production.
7566
 
7567
    * MOS toolset
7568
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
7569
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
7570
 
7571
    * create_dpkg utility
7572
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
7573
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
7574
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
7575
      progress of the build.
7576
 
7577
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
7578
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
7579
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
7580
      system.
7581
 
7582
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7583
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
7584
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7585
Major changes:
7586
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7587
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
7588
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
7589
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
7590
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
7591
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
7592
 
7593
    * WCEX86A500 target
7594
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
7595
 
7596
    * MOS Toolsets
7597
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
7598
      the compiler.
7599
 
7600
    * RunTest directive
7601
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
7602
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7603
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7604
 
7605
Minor changes:
7606
    * JATS BUILD
7607
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7608
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7609
      highlight bad settings.
7610
 
7611
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7612
      access to extensions.
7613
 
7614
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7615
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7616
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7617
Major changes:
7618
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7619
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7620
 
7621
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7622
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7623
      under unix.
7624
 
7625
Minor changes:
7626
    * label utility
7627
      Added options to:
7628
        o Delete a label
7629
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7630
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7631
 
7632
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7633
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7634
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7635
      Package directives.
7636
 
7637
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7638
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7639
      system.
7640
 
7641
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7642
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7643
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7644
Major changes:
7645
    * MOS Toolset
7646
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7647
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7648
 
7649
    * WIN32 Toolset
7650
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7651
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7652
      list.
7653
 
7654
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7655
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7656
 
7657
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7658
 
7659
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7660
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7661
 
7662
 
7663
Minor changes:
7664
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7665
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7666
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7667
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7668
      corrected.
7669
 
7670
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7671
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7672
 
7673
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7674
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7675
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7676
 
7677
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7678
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7679
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7680
Major changes:
7681
    * WIN32 Toolset
7682
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7683
      use with multithreaded modes.
7684
 
7685
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7686
      --OnlyProd.
7687
 
7688
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7689
      within the makefile.pl.
7690
 
7691
Minor changes:
7692
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7693
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7694
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7695
      platforms.
7696
 
7697
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7698
 
7699
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7700
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7701
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7702
Major changes:
7703
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7704
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7705
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7706
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7707
 
7708
    * Preliminary Support
7709
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7710
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7711
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7712
 
7713
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7714
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7715
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7716
 
7717
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7718
      building. The default build will build both.
7719
 
7720
Minor changes:
7721
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7722
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7723
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7724
 
7725
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7726
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7727
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7728
 
7729
 
7730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7731
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7732
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7733
Major changes:
7734
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7735
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7736
      or all.
7737
 
7738
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7739
      the library or program.
7740
 
7741
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7742
 
7743
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7744
      library or any debug files.
7745
 
7746
    * GenerateFiles
7747
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7748
 
7749
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7750
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7751
 
7752
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7753
              The filename of the prereq file
7754
 
7755
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7756
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7757
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7758
 
7759
 
7760
Minor changes:
7761
    * create_dpkg utility
7762
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7763
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7764
      the package has been altered.

7769
Major changes:
7770
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7771
      This is a WINCE target
7772
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7773
 
7774
    * New toolset
7775
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7776
 
7777
    * Modified toolset
7778
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7779
 
7780
    * Modified toolset
7781
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7782
 
7783
Minor changes:
7784
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7785
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7786
 
7787
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7788
 
7789
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7790
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7791
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7792
 
7793
      The change allows the construct
7794
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7795
      to be replaced by the simpler
7796
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7797
 
7798
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7799
      specified name.

7819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7820
Major changes:
7821
    * The "package.pl" file.
7822
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7823
      package name being taken from the build name
7824
 
7825
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7826
      package Build Name.
7827
 
7828
Minor changes:
7829
    * create_dpkg utility
7830
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists

7835
Major changes:
7836
 
7837
Minor changes:
7838
    * Dependancy generator
7839
      Correct two common situations
7840
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7841
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7842
           ansi, but is often done.
7843
 
7844
    * GCC toolset
7845
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7846
      being created in the correct place.
7847
 
7848
    * jats "label"
7849
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7850
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7851
 
7852
 
7853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7854
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7855
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7856
Major changes:
7857
 
7858
Minor changes:
7859
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7860
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7861
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7862
 
7863
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7864
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7865
 
7866
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7867
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7868
      package was not being transferred.
7869
 
7870
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7871
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7872
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7873
Major changes:
7874
    * Support for solaris_i386
7875
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7876
      binaries for this target.
7877
 
7878
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7879
      with the GCC compiler.
7880
 
7881
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7882
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7883
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7884
 
7885
Minor changes:
7886
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7887
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7888
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7889
 
7890
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7891
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7892
 
7893
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7894
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7895
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7896
Major changes:
7897
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7898
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7899
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7900
 
7901
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7902
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7903
 
7904
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7905
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7906
      with either " or ' characters.
7907
 
7908
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7909
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7910
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7911
 
7912
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7913
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7914
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7915
 
7916
    * Jats wrapper
7917
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7918
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7919
      further commands.
7920
 
7921
Minor changes:
7922
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7923
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7924
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7925
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7926
 
7927
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7928
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7929
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7930
Major changes:
7931
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7932
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7933
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7934
 
7935
      These options operation affect all components within the
7936
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7937
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7938
 
7939
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7940
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7941
 
7942
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7945
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7946
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7947
Major changes:
7948
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7949
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7950
 
7951
Minor changes:
7952
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7953
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7954
 
7955
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7956
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7957
 
7958
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7959
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7960
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7961
Major changes:
7962
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7963
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7964
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7965
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7966
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7967
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7968
      installed.
7969
 
7970
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7971
      libraries that depend on each other.
7972
 
7973
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7974
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7975
 
7976
Minor changes:
7977
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7978
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7979
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7980
 
7981
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7982
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7983
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7984
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7985
 
7986
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7987
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7988
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7989
Major changes:
7990
 
7991
Minor changes:
7992
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7993
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7994
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7995
      file.
7996
 
7997
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7998
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7999
 
8000
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8001
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8002
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8003
 
8004
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8005
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8006
 
8007
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8008
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8009
 
8010
    * WinCE toolsets
8011
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8012
      compiler specific libraries.
8013
 
8014
    * SOLARIS toolset
8015
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8016
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8017
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8018
 
8019
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8020
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8021
      cleaned up.
8022
 
8023
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8024
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8025
 
8026
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8027
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8028
      with either " or ' characters.
8029

Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8033
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8034
Major changes:
8035
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8036
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8037
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8038
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8039
 
8040
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8041
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8042
 
8043
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8044
      user.
8045
 
8046
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8047
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8048
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8049
 
8050
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8051
      for the   -Gf option.
8052
 
8053
Minor changes:
8054
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8055
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8056
 
8057
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8058
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8059
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8060
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8061
 
8062
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8063
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8065
Major changes:
8066
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8067
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8068
 
8069
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8070
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8071
      data addresses for the board.
8072
 
8073
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8074
 
8075
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8076
 
8077
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8078
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8079
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8080
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8081
         PackageFile
8082
 
8083
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8084
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8085
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8086
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8087
 
8088
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8089
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8090
      to be installed and packaged.
8091
 
8092
Minor changes:
8093
 
8094
    * cache_dpkg utility
8095
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8096
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8097
 
8098
    * label utility
8099
      New option -auto to create and label
8100
 
8101
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8102
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8103
 
8104
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8105
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8106
      directory. ie:
8107
 
8108
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8109
 
8110
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8111
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8112
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8113
 
8114
 
8115
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8116
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8117
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8118
Major changes:
8119
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8120
 
8121
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8122
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8123
 
8124
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8125
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8126
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8127
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8128
 
8129
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8130
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8131
      compilation.
8132
 
8133
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8134
 
8135
Minor changes:
8136
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8137
      one is being produced.
8138
 
8139
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8140
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8141
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8142
 
8143
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8144
 
8145
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8146
 
8147
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8148
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.

8154
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8155
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8156
 
8157
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8158
 
8159
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8160
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8161
      same directory
8162
 
8163
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8164
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8165
      documenattion.
8166
 
8167
Minor changes:
8168
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8169
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8170
 
8171
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8172
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8173
 
8174
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8175
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8176
 
8177
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8178
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8179
 
8180
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8181
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8182
      be exempt from this test.
8183
 
8184
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8185
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8186
 
8187
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8188
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8189
 
8190
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8191
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8192
      does.
8193
 
8194
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8195
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8196

8199
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8200
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8201
Major changes:
8202
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8203
 
8204
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8205
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8206
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8207
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8208
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8209
 
8210
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8211
      operations.
8212
 
8213
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8214
 
8215
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8216
 
8217
Minor changes
8218
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8219
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8220
 
8221
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8222
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8223
      directory is not added to the library path.
8224
 
8225
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8226
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8227
 
8228
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8229
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8230
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8231
 
8232
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8233
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8234
      specific flags.
8235
 
8236
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8237
 
8238
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8239
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8240
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8241
 
8242
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8243
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8244
      JATS.
8245
 
8246
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8247
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8248
 
8249
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8250
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8251
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8252
 
8253
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8254
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8255
 
8256
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8257
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8258
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8259
 
8260
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8261
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8262
 
8263
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8264
 
8265
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8266
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8267
 
8268
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8269
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8270
      objects.
8271
 
8272
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8273
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8274
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8275
      build defendants.
