		418	`but NOT as:`
		419	`PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)`

		3118	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3119	`Major changes:`
		3120	`* Makefile directive helper function: If`
		3121	`Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the`
		3122	`outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in`
		3123	`all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the`
		3124	`remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument`
		3125	`stream.`
		3126
		3127	`Example:`
		3128
		3129	`SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS`
		3130	`, If ('WIN32', '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )`

		3134	`* Makefile directive: InstallLibs`

		3137	`directive.`
		3138
		3139	`* GCC Toolkit`
		3140	`Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline`
		3141	`with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some`
		3142	`libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at`
		3143	`the point of termination.`
		3144
		3145	`* Jats save_build utility`
		3146	`Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file`
		3147	`under windows.`
		3148
		3149	`* Jats sandbox`
		3150	`ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that`

		3220	`All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)`

		3223
		3224	`* Solaris builds`
		3225	`Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before`
		3226	`the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing`

309	dpurdie	3348	`The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered`

		4641	`Major changes:`
229	dpurdie	4642	`* Jats Release Mechanism`
		4643	`Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its`
		4644	`internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be`
		4645	`released using the 'standard' mechanism.`
		4646
		4647	`Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.`
		4648
		4649	`A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align`

		4677	`* Jats Tool: CCbc2`
		4678	`Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two`
		4679	`packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views`
		4680	`and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the`
		4681	`process.`
		4682
		4683	`Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.`
		4684	`Only works under Windows.`

		4691	`* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat`
		4692	`Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported`

		4697	`directory.`

		4709	`* Jats Tool: create_dpkg`
		4710	`Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and`
		4711	`version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the`

		4713	`-pname=Package_Name`
		4714	`-pversion=Package_Version`
		4715
		4716	`Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without`

		4726
		4727	`* Solaris Toolset`
		4728	`Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared`
		4729	`libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable`
		4730	`programs are still supported.`

		4737	`Minor changes:`
		4738	`* WINCE toolsets`
		4739	`Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset`
		4740	`This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been`
		4741	`installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers`
		4742	`when header files cannot be found.`
		4743
		4744	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		4745	`If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make`

		4757
		4758	`* Jats Tool: release`
		4759	`Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the`

		4763	`used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.`
		4764
		4765	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`
		4766	`Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be`

		4885	`The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.`
		4886	`Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.`
		4887	`Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.`
		4888
		4889	`MakefileGenerate directive`

		4903	`link.`
		4904
		4905	`Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the`
		4906	`misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an`
		4907	`indication that this is a bad thing to do.`
		4908
		4909	`Make and generation of subdirectories`
		4910	`Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.`
		4911	`This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency`

		4921
		4922	`Summary of changes:`
		4923	`- Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories`

		4927
		4928	`The user interface remains identical: jats make ....`
		4929
		4930	`- Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text`
		4931	`file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the`
		4932	`interface directory and associated build information.`
		4933
		4934	`- Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.`
		4935	`On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less`
		4936	`than one second.`
		4937
		4938	`- Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent`
		4939	`building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for`
		4940	`each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every`
		4941	`makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity`
		4942	`testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the`
		4943	`toolset. It is an expensive operation.`
		4944
		4945	`- Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism`
		4946	`for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,`
		4947	`rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.`
		4948
		4949	`- Better makefile rebuilding`
		4950	`Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to`
		4951	`detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-`
		4952	`building them.`
		4953
		4954	`- Detection of build file changes`
		4955	`The make process will detect that the build file has been modified`
		4956	`and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It`
		4957	`does not prevent the 'make' operation.`
		4958
		4959	`- Quieter make output`
		4960	`The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.`
		4961
		4962
		4963	`Minor changes:`
		4964	`MakeAnt Directive`
		4965	`Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5`
		4966
		4967	`JATS command "debug" and "prod"`
		4968	`These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:`
		4969	`jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args`
		4970	`Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution`
		4971	`display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.`
		4972
		4973	`CSHARP toolset`
		4974	`Correctly detect missing compiler directories`

		5069	`* Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path`
		5070	`Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.`
		5071

		5076	`For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:`

		5101	`Major changes:`
		5102
		5103	`Minor changes:`
		5104	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5105	`Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the`
		5106	`dependent packages.`
		5107
		5108	`* RunTest operation`
		5109	`Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.`

		5114	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5115	`Version: JATS_2.68.0 Released: 20-Aug-07`
		5116	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5117	`Major changes:`
		5118	`* Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)`
		5119
		5120	`It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and`
		5121	`javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was`
		5122	`normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages`
		5123	`were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search`
		5124	`path.`
		5125
		5126	`JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt`
		5127	`directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and`
		5128	`reproducible.`
		5129
		5130	`This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.`
		5131	`This is better than building incorrectly.`
		5132
		5133	`There are several aspects to the change`
		5134	`1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If`
		5135	`the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the`
		5136	`PATH then these will be used and report an error.`
		5137
		5138	`2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build`
		5139	`Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.`
		5140	`Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is`
		5141	`controlled separately.`
		5142
		5143	`Minor changes:`
		5144	`* Sanitize the PATH environment variable`
		5145	`Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched`
		5146	`Remove duplicates`
		5147	`Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH`
		5148
		5149	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5150	`Version: JATS_2.67.1 Released: 17-Aug-07`
		5151	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5152	`Major changes:`
		5153
		5154	`Minor changes:`
		5155	`* Makefile sanity test`
		5156	`Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are`
		5157	`not then run on a machine of a different type.`
		5158
		5159	`This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-`
		5160	`x86 machine.`
		5161
		5162	`* Correct bug in RunTest`
		5163	`RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory`
		5164
		5165	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5166	`Version: JATS_2.67.0 Released: 13-Aug-07`
		5167	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5168	`Major changes:`
		5169	`* RunTest directive`
		5170	`Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the`
		5171	`CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing`
		5172	`toolset specific test frameworks has been added.`
		5173
		5174	`Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.`
		5175	`The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option`
		5176	`--FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program`
		5177	`under test will be passed to the framework. program.`
		5178
		5179	`If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework`
		5180	`builder within the current toolset.`
		5181
		5182	`When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:`
		5183	`'--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.`
		5184
		5185	`With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit`
		5186	`will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile`
		5187	`containing the RunTest directive.`
		5188
		5189	`The Nunit Framework supports the following options:`
		5190	`--Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+`
		5191
		5192	`This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will`
		5193	`be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external`
		5194	`package or the components 'local' lib directory.`
		5195
		5196	`SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:`
		5197	`--NonJats This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a`
		5198	`P or D suffix.`
		5199	`--Jats (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will`
		5200	`select the correct library type for this build.`
		5201
		5202	`Minor changes:`
		5203	`* New Cache cleanup mechanism`
		5204	`When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within`
		5205	`the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to`
		5206	`the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are`
		5207	`frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.`
		5208
		5209	`* Save Build Utility`
		5210	`This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file`
		5211	`used in a ripple build.`
		5212
		5213	`The utility has been enhanced to detect a reserved checkout of the`
		5214	`build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.`
		5215
		5216	`* Release Utility`
		5217	`The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked`
		5218	`when an error is encountered.`
		5219
		5220	`This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be`
		5221	`unlocked if a build error occurs.`
		5222
		5223	`* Jats caching local copy of itself`
		5224	`Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message`
		5225	`being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.`
		5226
		5227	`* Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step`
		5228	`before the makefiles are created.`
		5229
		5230	`* TestProg directive`
		5231	`TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs`
		5232
		5233	`* Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with`
		5234	`a 'space' or '$' in the file name.`
		5235

		5238	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5239	`Major changes:`
		5240	`* New build target`
		5241	`LINUX_ETX - Support for Linux on an ETX board`
		5242	`LMOS_LINUX_ETX - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target`
		5243
		5244	`These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.`
		5245	`DEVLINUX`
		5246	`LMOS_DEVLINUX`
		5247
		5248	`* Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]`
		5249	`Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file`
		5250	`transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.`
		5251
		5252	`Minor changes:`
		5253	`* Added utility class to provide directory searching`
		5254	`To be used in JATS and JATS support tools`
		5255
		5256	`* tweaks to the C# toolset`
		5257	`Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs`
		5258
		5259	`Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx`
		5260	`and .cs files.`
		5261
		5262	`Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right`
		5263	`thing.`
		5264
		5265	`* Microtec ColdFire compiler`
		5266	`Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a`
		5267	`local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control`
		5268	`were it places temp files.`
		5269
		5270	`Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected`
		5271	`interaction with other builds.`
		5272
		5273	`* Release utility command`
		5274	`Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create`
		5275	`multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique`
		5276	`component in the clearcase tag name.`

		5368	`the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.`

		5370	`* GenerateFiles`
		5371	`Added the options:`
		5372	`--UnknownPreq - Will force the recipe to be run every time`

		5397	`Version: JATS_2.65.0 Released: 16-May-07`
		5398	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5399	`Major changes:`
		5400	`* Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases`
		5401	`The database location, user and password have been made configurable via`
		5402	`environment variables.`
		5403
		5404	`Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being`
		5405	`moved.`
		5406
		5407	`This will affect users that:`
		5408	`1) Use tools that access RM or DM`
		5409	`Some tools that build deployable packages`
		5410
		5411	`2) Use the ABT system`
		5412	`The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide`
		5413	`the required configuration`
		5414
		5415	`If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on`
		5416	`the build machine then you will need to add the following environment`
		5417	`definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.`
		5418	`Windows`
		5419	`set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM`

227	dpurdie	5427	`Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.`
		5428
		5429
		5430	`* New build platforms`
		5431	`ARM9TDMI - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI`
		5432	`LINUX_EMU - To replace TP5600_EMU`
		5433
		5434	`LMOS_ARM9TDMI - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI`

		5436
		5437	`DEVLINUX - To replace TP5600`
		5438	`LMOS_DEVLINUX - To replace LMOS_TP5600`
		5439	`LMOS - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:`
		5440	`LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32`
		5441
		5442	`Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms`
		5443	`of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future`
		5444	`release.`
		5445
		5446	`The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to`
		5447	`LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU`
		5448
		5449	`The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages`
		5450	`need to be converted.`
		5451
		5452	`* Building Linux Device Drivers`
		5453	`The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.`
		5454	`Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide`
		5455	`the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be`
		5456	`used for different targets platforms.`
		5457
		5458	`* Sandbox support`
		5459	`Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox`
		5460	`Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.`
		5461
		5462	`New command: jats sandbox ...`

		5467	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5468	`Version: JATS_2.64.1 Released: 03-May-07`
		5469	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5470	`Major changes:`
		5471	`* MakeAnt directive`
		5472	`Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.`
		5473
		5474	`New options`
		5475	`--AutoTest=<target> # Run as Automated unit test`
		5476	`--UnitTest=<target> # Run as Unit test`
		5477
		5478	`This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the`
		5479	`run_unit_tests phase.`
		5480
		5481	`* Sandbox support`
		5482	`Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox`
		5483	`Will remain undocumented until fully implemented`
		5484
		5485	`Minor changes:`
		5486	`* jats build`
		5487	`Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of`
		5488	`platforms that will be 'built'.`
		5489
		5490	`This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		5491
		5492	`This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is`
		5493	`available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific`
		5494	`platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600`
		5495
		5496	`* AVR_IAR Toolset`
		5497	`Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.`
		5498
		5499	`* JATS.BAT`
		5500	`Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that`
		5501	`the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both`
		5502	`the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.`
		5503
		5504	`* jats label`
		5505	`Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB`
		5506
		5507	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5508	`Version: JATS_2.64.0 Released: 16-Apr-07`
		5509	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5510	`Major changes:`
		5511	`* New build platform:`
		5512	`LMOS_TP5600`
		5513	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI`
		5514	`LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5515
		5516	`LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600`
		5517	`supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to`
		5518	`describe the group of platforms.`
		5519
		5520	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5521	`These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to`
		5522	`build these targets.`
		5523
		5524	`The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,`
		5525	`where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.`
		5526
		5527	`The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,`
		5528	`where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.`
		5529
		5530	`* New build platform: WINCE`
		5531	`This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.`
		5532	`Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for`
		5533	`consumption on all WINCE machines.`
		5534
		5535	`The current list of WINCE targets is:`
		5536	`WCEIT3000`
		5537	`WCEPA961`
		5538	`WCEPA962`
		5539	`WCEPCM7220`

		5543	`WCEX86A420`
		5544	`WCEX86A500`
		5545	`WCEX86A500_SOM4455`
		5546
		5547	`The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.`
		5548
		5549	`* JATS makefile.pl`
		5550	`The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles`
		5551	`that contain packaging directives.`
		5552
		5553	`There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in`
		5554	`very unusual configurations.`
		5555
		5556	`Minor changes:`
		5557	`* Directive: PackageFile`
		5558	`Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming`
		5559	`conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain`
		5560	`an '='.`
		5561
		5562	`Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead`
		5563	`of "--Subdir=etc".`
		5564
		5565	`* JATS Internal utility: cmdfile`
		5566	`Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that`
		5567	`provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.`
		5568
		5569	`This version will display the library search path with one item per line,`
		5570	`rather than all items on one, very long, line.`
		5571
		5572	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5573	`Version: JATS_2.63.0 Released: 5-Apr-07`
		5574	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5575	`Major changes:`
		5576
		5577	`* JATS release command`
		5578	`Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is`
		5579	`specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.`
		5580
		5581	`Rules are:`
		5582	`Modify a file: File will branch`
		5583	`Adding a file: Containing directory will not branch`
		5584	`File will be placed on a branch`
		5585	`Add a directory: Containing directory will not branch`
		5586	`New directory will branch`
		5587
		5588	`Minor changes:`
		5589	`* JATS release command`
		5590	`Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the`
		5591	`user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.`
		5592
		5593	`* JATS label command`
		5594	`Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label`
		5595	`is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.`
		5596
		5597	`* JATS make`
		5598	`Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and`
		5599	`Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package`
		5600	`was re-packaged.`
		5601
		5602	`* JATS escrow`
		5603	`Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.`
		5604	`Use jats escrow -help for details`
		5605
		5606	`* makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt`
		5607	`This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java`
		5608	`packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.`
		5609
		5610	`This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in`
		5611	`packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the`
		5612	`interface directory.`
		5613
		5614	`* build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive`
		5615	`Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.`
		5616	`Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'`
		5617	`directory as seen by the package.`
		5618
		5619	`Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10`
		5620
		5621	`* JAVA 6`
		5622	`JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y`
		5623	`environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.`
		5624
		5625	`The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5`
		5626	`and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.`
		5627
		5628	`The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables`
		5629
		5630	`* Jats command: vars`
		5631	`Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory`
		5632	`These indicate potential problems.`
		5633
		5634	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5635	`Version: JATS_2.62.4 Released: 20-Mar-07`
		5636	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5637	`Major changes:`
		5638	`* JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)`
		5639	`When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned`
		5640	`libarry is also created.`
		5641
		5642	`Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical`
		5643	`copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is`
		5644	`'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two`
		5645	`files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)`
		5646	`The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug`
		5647	`information contained within the file.`
		5648
		5649	`This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',`
		5650	`'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.`
		5651
		5652	`The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used`
		5653	`within the build environment and dpkg_archive.`
		5654
		5655	`* Building Perl Modules`
		5656	`Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the`
		5657	`documentation on the build machine.`
		5658
		5659	`Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.`
		5660
		5661	`Minor changes:`
		5662	`* jats create_dpkg`
		5663	`Added an option to create a built.generic file`
		5664	`This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.`
		5665
		5666	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5667	`Version: JATS_2.62.3 Released: 28-Feb-07`
		5668	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5669	`Major changes:`
		5670	`* JATS JAVA build target`
		5671	`The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the`
		5672	`default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.`
		5673
		5674	`Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar`
		5675	`JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.`
		5676	`Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this`
		5677	`is then picked up as the default version.`
		5678
		5679	`If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the`
		5680	`build.pl file.`
		5681
		5682	`Minor changes:`
		5683	`* jats release`
		5684	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH`
		5685	`Issue an error if it cannot be found.`
		5686	`This error indicates bad DevEnv setup`
		5687
		5688	`Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.`
		5689	`Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify`
		5690	`the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,`
		5691	`based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change`
		5692	`the name of the view.`
		5693
		5694	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5695	`Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.`
		5696
		5697	`* MOS Toolset`
		5698	`When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly`
		5699	`used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set`
		5700	`up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization`
		5701
		5702	`Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );`
		5703
		5704
		5705	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5706	`Version: JATS_2.62.2 Released: 15-Feb-07`
		5707	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5708	`Major changes:`
		5709
		5710	`Minor changes:`
		5711	`* JATS environment`
		5712	`Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH`
		5713	`environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities`
		5714	`that are located in the Perl bin directory.`
		5715
		5716	`Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html`
		5717
		5718	`* Use of GENERIC platforms`
		5719	`Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform`
		5720	`specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because`
		5721	`they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need`
		5722	`to be packaged.`
		5723
		5724	`* Generated makefiles`
		5725	`Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.`
		5726
		5727	`* Generating MOS THX files`
		5728	`Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX`
		5729	`files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.`
		5730	`This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.`
		5731
		5732	`SharedLib ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );`
		5733
		5734	`* JATS release`
		5735	`Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix`
		5736
		5737	`* JATS extract`
		5738	`New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'`
		5739
		5740	`* JATS Toolset`
		5741	`Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)`
		5742	`This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK`
		5743
		5744
		5745	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5746	`Version: JATS_2.62.1 Released: 18-Jan-07`
		5747	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5748	`Major changes:`
		5749
		5750	`Minor changes:`
		5751	`* jats label`
		5752	`Added a -vob=name option`
		5753	`This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete`
		5754	`labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option`
		5755	`cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.`
		5756	`It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.`
		5757
		5758	`Added a -user=name option`
		5759	`This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the`
		5760	`label to the named user.`
		5761
		5762	`* jats release`
		5763	`Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner`
		5764	`Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.`
		5765
		5766	`* JATS build.pl`
		5767	`BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.`
		5768	`ie:`
		5769	`BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');`
		5770
		5771
		5772	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5773	`Version: JATS_2.62.0 Released: 22-Dec-06`
		5774	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5775	`Major changes:`
		5776	`* GenerateFiles and RunTest directives`
		5777	`These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile`
		5778	`values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of`
		5779	`the makefile internals. ie:`
		5780	`--Var(BuildName)`
		5781	`will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)`
		5782	`-BuildName=MyPackage`
		5783
		5784	`The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.`
		5785
		5786	`* GenerateFiles`
		5787	`Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase`
		5788	`This allows external scripts to cleanup.`
		5789
		5790	`* BuildPlatforms`
		5791	`Restored operation of the --Uses option`
		5792
		5793	`Minor changes:`
		5794	`* GCC Toolset`
		5795	`Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages`
		5796
		5797	`Internal changes:`
		5798	`* GenerateFiles`
		5799	`Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.`
		5800
		5801	`--Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an`
		5802	`external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.`
		5803
		5804
		5805	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5806	`Version: JATS_2.61.3 Released: 14-Dec-06`
		5807	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5808	`Major changes:`
		5809	`* Caching JATS`
		5810	`Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local`
		5811	`drive. This is applicable to windows.`
		5812
		5813	`This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in`
		5814	`dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of`
		5815	`then using JATS across a slow(network) link.`
		5816
		5817	`The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.`
		5818	`Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be`
		5819	`effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.`
		5820
		5821	`Use: Build Machines and Windows Users`
		5822
		5823	`Minor changes:`
		5824	`* Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option`
		5825	`Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:`
		5826	`TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.`
		5827
		5828	`* jats build`
		5829	`If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache`
		5830	`packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package`
		5831	`processed by the build.`
		5832
		5833	`* jats build`
		5834	`Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the`
		5835	`makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating`
		5836	`makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error`
		5837	`message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users`
		5838	`from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.`

		6097
		6098	`Minor changes:`

		6144	`SOLARIS`
		6145	`WIN32`
		6146
		6147	`* Removal of support for badly formed packages`
		6148	`As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory`
		6149	`will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect`
		6150	`directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose`
		6151	`of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,`
		6152	`solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).`
		6153
		6154	`* Build Platform target name expansion facility`
		6155	`The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They`

		6165	`Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given`
		6166	`location`
		6167
		6168	`Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for`

		6170
		6171	`* Utility genrc`
		6172	`Added the company name to the copyright string`
		6173
		6174	`* Utility: jats_save_build`
		6175	`Added option: -new`
		6176	`This option forces the saved file only a new branch.`
		6177	`The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific`
		6178	`branch. Useful when branching an entire release.`
		6179
		6180	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6181	`Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.`
		6182	`Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.`
		6183
		6184	`* Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir`
		6185	`These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for`
		6186	`migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.`
		6187
		6188	`The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl`
		6189	`features - in a uniform manner.`
		6190
		6191
		6192	`Internal Changes:`
		6193	`* Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts`
		6194	`directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.`
		6195
		6196	`Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:`
		6197	`1) Platform information available at build time`
		6198	`2) Dynamic platform names`
		6199
		6200	`* Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform`
		6201	`The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the`
		6202	`machine on which the platform is invoked.`
		6203
		6204	`Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into`
		6205	`configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the`
		6206	`SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.`
		6207
		6208	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6209	`Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32`
		6210	`platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer`
		6211	`needed.`
		6212
		6213	`A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be`
		6214	`located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change`
		6215	`should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle`
		6216	`files from all of these.`

		6229	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6230	`Major changes:`
		6231	`* Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used`
		6232	`Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of`
		6233	`JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.`
		6234
		6235	`The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.`
		6236
		6237	`JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up`
		6238	`the operations.`
		6239
		6240	`The version option MUST be the first option.`
		6241
		6242	`The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.`
		6243	`This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.`
		6244
		6245	`Example: jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build`
		6246
		6247	`* Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script`
		6248	`and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.`

		6262
		6263	`Minor changes:`
		6264	`* JATS wrapper script`
		6265	`Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from`
		6266	`the command line.`
		6267
		6268	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6269	`Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the`
		6270	`ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.`
		6271
		6272	`Internal Changes:`
		6273	`* Common Error Reporting`
		6274	`Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels`
		6275	`for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars`

		6277	`level.`
		6278
		6279	`Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is`
		6280	`displayed.`

		6314	`Version: JATS_2.54.1 Released: 29-Jun-06`
		6315	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6316	`Major changes:`
		6317
		6318	`Minor changes:`
		6319	`* Mictotec toolset`
		6320	`Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production`
		6321	`builds.`
		6322
		6323	`* JATS Core`
		6324	`Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an`
		6325	`auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their`
		6326	`behaviour.`
		6327
		6328	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6329	`Version: JATS_2.54.0 Released: 22-Jun-06`
		6330	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6331	`Major changes:`
		6332	`* Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.`
		6333	`Deployment package will be affected.`
		6334
		6335	`The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment`
		6336	`support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:`
		6337
		6338	`BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );`
		6339
		6340	`This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided`
		6341	`by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start`
		6342	`of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield`
		6343	`packages.`
		6344
		6345	`* Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS`
		6346	`The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex`
		6347	`and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.`
		6348
		6349	`This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'`
		6350	`the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'`
		6351
		6352	`Minor changes:`
		6353	`* SubDir directive`
		6354	`Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies`
		6355	`a directory from two different makefiles.`
		6356
		6357	`* Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend`
		6358	`If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated`
		6359	`dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence`
		6360	`of the file usage.`
		6361
		6362	`* New utility: jats_manifest`
		6363	`Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.`
		6364	`Beta Release: Windows only at the moment`
		6365
		6366	`* Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc`
		6367	`The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries`
		6368	`generated within the build and have been installed locally.`
		6369
		6370	`* Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script`
		6371	`This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.`
		6372	`In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and`
		6373	`will execute a JATS extended command.`
		6374
		6375
		6376	`Internal Changes:`
		6377	`* Code refactor`
		6378	`Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.`
		6379
		6380	`* Deployment utilities`
		6381	`The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file`
		6382	`Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.`
		6383	`The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and`
		6384	`the module can locate the file.`
		6385
		6386	`Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate`
		6387	`the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.`
		6388
		6389	`* JATS core`
		6390	`Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.`
		6391
		6392	`Better parsing of descpkg files.`
		6393
		6394	`* JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm`
		6395	`Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs`
		6396	`through the use of environment variables.`
		6397
		6398	`A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment`
		6399	`variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.`
		6400
		6401	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6402	`Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:`
		6403	`deployfiles - as used by the deployment system`
		6404	`tools/scripts - as used by perl based extensions`
		6405
		6406	`* Make environment`
		6407	`Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to`
		6408	`include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.`
		6409
		6410
		6411	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6412	`Version: JATS_2.53.2 Released: 13-Jun-06`
		6413	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6414	`Major changes:`
		6415	`* Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)`
		6416	`Added support for SILENT_MODE`
		6417
		6418
		6419	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6420	`Version: JATS_2.53.1 Released: Not release`
		6421	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6422
		6423	`Not Released.`
		6424	`This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis`
		6425	`for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.`
		6426
		6427
		6428	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6429	`Version: JATS_2.53.0 Released: 11-Apr-06`
		6430	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6431	`Major changes:`
		6432	`* Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access`
		6433	`The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been`
		6434	`radically replaced.`
		6435
		6436	`A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.`
		6437	`Usage:`
		6438	`jats etool test_rmconnection`
		6439
		6440	`The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle`
		6441	`Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with`
		6442	`this solution:`
		6443	`- Required the installation of two Perl Modules`
		6444	`- Required the installation of an Oracle client`
		6445	`- Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris`
		6446	`- Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline`
		6447
		6448	`The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin`
		6449	`client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in`
		6450	`order to work.`
		6451
		6452	`JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but`
		6453	`reduced functionality.`
		6454
		6455
		6456	`Minor changes:`
		6457	`* makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		6458	`Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.`
		6459	`This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.`
		6460
		6461	`* makefile.pl directive: SetList`
		6462	`Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists`
		6463	`within the makefiles.`
		6464	`Options:`
		6465	`--NoWarn Disable name clash warnings`
		6466	`--Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+ Add to list in selected projects`
		6467	`--Unique Add only if not already present`
		6468	`--Clear Clear list, before adding new items`
		6469	`--Append Append items to list (default)`
		6470	`-- Disable/Enable option parsing`
		6471	`Useage:`
		6472
		6473	`SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');`
		6474	`SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );`
		6475
		6476	`* Makefile.pl directive: RunTest`
		6477	`Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file`
		6478	`is not in the current directory.`
		6479
		6480	`* Jats Command: ant'`
		6481	`This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option`
		6482	`to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.`
		6483
		6484	`eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant`
		6485
		6486	`* TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support`
		6487	`Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next`
		6488	`generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version`
		6489	`of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr`
		6490
		6491	`* Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh`
		6492	`Added provision to process user command arguments.`
		6493	`Thus`
		6494
		6495	`set_WIN32.bat prog`
		6496
		6497	`will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog`
		6498
		6499
		6500	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6501	`Version: JATS_2.52.2 Released: 30-Mar-06`
		6502	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6503	`Major changes:`
		6504
		6505	`Minor changes:`
		6506	`* Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.`
		6507	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be`
		6508	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project`
		6509	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6510	`$(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always`
		6511
		6512	`* m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware`
		6513	`Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are`
		6514	`created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.`
		6515
		6516	`Internal changes:`
		6517	`* JATS toolsets`
		6518	`Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created`
		6519	`as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a`
		6520	`number of files, some which may be packaged.`
		6521
		6522	`Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now`
		6523	`they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.`
		6524
		6525	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6526	`Version: JATS_2.52.1 Released: 29-Mar-06`
		6527	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6528	`Major changes:`
		6529	`* Jats command: etool`
		6530	`Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment`
		6531	`tools to use the JATS core perl modules.`
		6532
		6533	`* Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer`
		6534	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be`
		6535	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt`
		6536	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6537	`$(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always`
		6538	`$ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always`
		6539
		6540	`Minor changes:`
		6541
		6542
		6543	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6544	`Version: JATS_2.52.0 Released: 27-Mar-06`
		6545	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6546	`Major changes:`
		6547	`* JATS environment variables`
		6548	`Added GBE_DPKG_STORE`
		6549	`Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow`
		6550	`read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be`
		6551	`searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,`
		6552	`will not publish packages in this repository.`
		6553
		6554	`Uses: Seed repository for a complete build`
		6555	`Remote repository`
		6556
		6557	`Added GBE_DPLY`
		6558	`Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the`
		6559	`placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.`
		6560
		6561	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6562	`Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.`
		6563	`Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This`
		6564	`created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by`
		6565	`the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.`
		6566
		6567	`The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be`
		6568	`processed once and it will be processed last.`
		6569
		6570
		6571	`Minor changes:`
		6572	`* JATS utility: build`
		6573	`* JATS utility: cache_dpkg`
		6574	`Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within`
		6575	`GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.`
		6576
		6577	`* JATS utility: gen_cots`
		6578	`Ensure label is not locked`
		6579	`Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package`
		6580	`that already exists in dpkg_archive.`
		6581
		6582	`* JATS directive: PackageFile`
		6583	`Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process`
		6584	`to a specific type of build.`
		6585
		6586	`* JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests`
		6587	`Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information`
		6588	`to be extracted and passed to generator programs.`
		6589	`ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)`
		6590
		6591	`Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as`
		6592	`sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.`
		6593	`ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)`
		6594
		6595	`* JATS utility: release`
		6596	`Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have`
		6597	`been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.`
		6598
		6599	`* JATS utility: label`
		6600	`Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,`
		6601	`when it is being created.`
		6602
		6603	`Internal Changes`
		6604	`* JATS utility: create_dpkg`
		6605	`Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.`
		6606
		6607	`Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use`
		6608	`to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.`
		6609
		6610	`* Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive`
		6611	`This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting`
		6612	`different results.`
		6613
		6614	`* ToolsetRequire directive`
		6615	`This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within`
		6616	`packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory`
		6617
		6618	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6619	`Version: JATS_2.51.0 Released: 15-Mar-06`
		6620	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6621	`Major changes:`
		6622
		6623	`* MCR toolset`
		6624	`Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files`
		6625
		6626	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6627	`Version: JATS_2.50.0 Released: 15-Feb-06`
		6628	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6629	`Major changes:`
		6630	`* WIN32 utilities`
		6631	`Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)`
		6632	`with versions from the GNUWin32 project.`
		6633
		6634	`The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories`
		6635	`under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the`
		6636	`same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).`
		6637
		6638	`Minor changes:`
		6639	`* BuildVersion`
		6640	`The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file`
		6641	`will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'`
		6642	`program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.`
		6643
		6644	`The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.`
		6645
		6646	`* Unix Builds`
		6647	`Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static`
		6648	`library or a shared library.`
		6649
		6650	`JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred`
		6651	`when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix`
		6652	`systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already`
		6653	`start with 'lib'.`
		6654
		6655	`* BuildPkgArchive`
		6656	`Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if`
		6657	`they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source`
		6658	`package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.`
		6659
		6660	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6661	`Version: JATS_2.49.0 Released: 10-Feb-06`
		6662	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6663	`Major changes:`
		6664	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6665	`Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target`
		6666	`THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get`
		6667	`regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was`
		6668	`being manually maintained.`
		6669
		6670
		6671	`Minor changes:`
		6672	`* MakeAnt directive`
		6673	`Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset`
		6674	`that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset`
		6675	`supports ANT builds.`
		6676
		6677	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6678	`Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where`
		6679	`there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.`
		6680
		6681	`* Label utility`
		6682	`Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified`
		6683	`files to be labeled.`
		6684
		6685	`* Build. Parsing descpkg files`
		6686	`Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly`
		6687	`on Solaris.`
		6688
		6689	`* Generated makefiles`
		6690	`Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to`
		6691	`nothing.`
		6692
		6693	`* MOS Toolset`
		6694	`Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.`
		6695	`This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised`
		6696	`modules.`
		6697
		6698	`* Utility: gen_cots`
		6699	`This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry`
		6700	`and then check it in under clearcase.`
		6701
		6702	`JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.`
		6703
		6704	`* Utilty cache_dpkg`
		6705	`Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.`
		6706
		6707	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6708	`Version: JATS_2.48.0 Released: 24-Jan-06`
		6709	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6710	`Major changes:`
		6711	`None`
		6712
		6713	`Minor changes:`
		6714	`* DEVI addressed`
		6715	`DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource`
5710	dpurdie	6716	`DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource`
227	dpurdie	6717
		6718	`* Utility: release (cbuild)`
		6719	`Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching`
		6720	`rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:`
		6721
		6722	`jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH`
		6723
		6724	`will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating`
		6725	`a patch for Sydney Legacy work.`
		6726
		6727	`* RunTest directive`
		6728	`The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have`
		6729	`been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to`
		6730	`test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.`
		6731
		6732	`* PackageFile, Option --DirTree`
		6733	`Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the`
		6734	`--DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be`
		6735	`packaged under JATS`
		6736
		6737	`Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not`
		6738	`supported within JATS.`
		6739
		6740	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6741	`Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the`
		6742	`sanitized environment provided by JATS.`
		6743
		6744	`The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's`
		6745	`PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the`
		6746	`JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.`
		6747
		6748	`Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2`
		6749	`Eg: jats ant`
		6750
		6751	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6752	`Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )`
		6753
5710	dpurdie	6754	`This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file`
227	dpurdie	6755	`called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called`
		6756	`<ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the`
		6757	`<ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the`
		6758	`<ProjectName>.xml file.`
		6759
5710	dpurdie	6760	`If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will`
227	dpurdie	6761	`expect a build.pl file.`
		6762
		6763	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6764	`Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.`
		6765
		6766	`* Jats utility: create_dpkg`
		6767	`Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within`
		6768	`the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.`
		6769
		6770	`* Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)`
		6771	`Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.`
		6772
		6773	`* Build files`
		6774	`Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with`
5710	dpurdie	6775	`VIX extensions.`

		6777	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6778	`Version: JATS_2.47.0 Released: 20-Dec-05`
		6779	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6780	`Major changes:`
		6781	`* BuildVersion directive in build.pl`
		6782	`Correct a problem in the generation of version.c`
		6783	`The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing`
		6784	`space when the 'array' mode was selected.`
		6785
		6786	`This may cause module validation to fail.`
		6787
		6788	`Minor changes:`
		6789	`* None`
		6790
		6791	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6792	`Version: JATS_2.46.0 Released: 08-Dec-05`
		6793	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6794	`Major changes:`
		6795	`* BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives`
		6796	`Added option --Uses=NAME`
		6797	`ie:`
		6798	`BuildProduct ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5', 'MOSCF' );`
		6799
		6800	`This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5`
		6801	`headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the`
		6802	`OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build`
		6803	`environments are compatible.`
		6804
		6805
		6806	`Minor changes:`
		6807	`* BuildName option`
		6808	`Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames`
5710	dpurdie	6809	`that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).`
227	dpurdie	6810
		6811	`* jats.bat`
		6812	`Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined`
		6813	`It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.`
		6814
		6815	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6816	`Version: JATS_2.45.0 Released: 29-Nov-05`
		6817	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6818	`Major changes:`
		6819	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6820	`The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified`
		6821	`so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly`
		6822	`speeds up multiple 'build' operations.`
		6823
		6824	`If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then`
		6825	`this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are`
		6826	`considered as under development and are subject to change.`
		6827
		6828	`If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be`
		6829	`installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to`
		6830	`be transferred into the 'interface' directory.`
		6831
		6832	`A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been`
		6833	`transferred.`
		6834
		6835	`* Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.`
		6836	`See notes below.`
		6837
		6838	`* WIN32 toolset`
		6839	`Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate`
		6840	`correctly.`
		6841
		6842	`Export the complete library search path into the build environment`
		6843	`for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.`
		6844
		6845	`* BuildVersion`
		6846	`Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#`
		6847	`The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for`
		6848	`other langauges as needed.`
		6849
		6850
		6851	`Minor changes:`
		6852	`* Utility: gen_winrc.pl`
		6853	`Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.`
		6854	`This information will be available to be placed into the generation`
		6855	`version strings.`
		6856
		6857	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		6858	`Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local`
		6859	`package or an imported package.`
		6860
		6861	`* Toolsets: MOS_MRI`
		6862	`Generate an error if required tools are not found.`
		6863	`Previously this condition would generate a warning.`
		6864
		6865	`* BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives`
		6866	`Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check`
		6867	`was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same`
		6868	`version to be included. This could result in badly formed`
		6869	`makefiles and strange error messages.`
		6870
		6871	`Internal Changes`
		6872	`* Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common`
		6873	`directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite`
		6874	`of utilities.`
		6875
		6876	`Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting`
		6877	`functions.`
		6878
		6879	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6880	`Version: JATS_2.44.0 Released: 18-Nov-05`
		6881	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6882	`Major changes:`
		6883	`* Generated makefiles`
		6884	`Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE`
		6885	`cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure`
		6886	`that sed did not process its arguments.`
		6887
		6888	`This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts`
		6889	`within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was`
		6890	`incorrectly processing:`
		6891	`sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'`
		6892	`The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was`
		6893	`then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally`
		6894	`confused.`
		6895
		6896	`NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a`
		6897	`breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).`
		6898	`The construct`
		6899	`-D__SOURCE__=\"name\"`
		6900	`was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,`
		6901	`then it works.`
		6902
		6903	`* MakeAnt directive`
		6904	`Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile`
		6905
		6906	`This option has the following effects`
		6907	`1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and`
		6908	`can be used installed and manipulated.`
		6909
		6910	`2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done`
		6911	`early - in the generated files phase.`
		6912
		6913	`Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java`
		6914	`component needs to generate a header file early.`
		6915
		6916
		6917	`Minor changes:`
		6918	`* JATS post-installation script`
		6919	`Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.`
		6920
		6921	`* Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix`
		6922	`systems. Thus .h and .H files will considered header files in`
		6923	`windows.`
		6924
		6925	`* Build.pl rewrite tool`
		6926	`Handle all variants of BuildName`
		6927
		6928	`* Jats wrapper script`
		6929	`Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable`
		6930	`1) Contain spaces`
		6931	`2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped`
		6932
		6933	`* Toolset`
		6934	`Added a 'LINUX' platform.`
		6935
		6936	`* JAVA toolset`
		6937	`Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following`
		6938	`directive:`
		6939
		6940	`includeAntRuntime="off"'`
		6941
		6942	`This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to`
		6943	`the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's`
		6944	`version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.`
		6945
		6946	`* GCC Toolset`
		6947	`Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian`
		6948
		6949	`* Makefile generation`
		6950	`When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS`
		6951	`has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.`
		6952	`Previously JATS would use the package name found within the`
		6953	`descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the`
		6954	`package could not be used.`
		6955
		6956	`* Unit Tests`
		6957	`The following environment variables are set:`
		6958
		6959	`GBE_TYPE - The type of build. Debug or production. This`
		6960	`will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'`
		6961
		6962	`GBE_HOST - The host machine we are running on.`
		6963	`This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'`
		6964
		6965	`These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.`
		6966
		6967	`* New makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		6968
		6969
		6970	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6971	`Version: JATS_2.43.0 Released: 01-Nov-05`
		6972	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6973	`Major changes:`
		6974	`* New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.`
		6975
		6976	`Special features of this toolset.`
		6977	`1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file`
		6978	`This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be`
		6979	`incorporated within the target image.`
		6980
		6981	`2) Prog directive extensions:`
		6982	`--Set=Name=Value`
		6983	`The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.`
		6984	`This allows the location of program segments to be set`
		6985
		6986	`--Ref=name`
		6987	`The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used`
		6988	`to provide information that will be placed within the`
		6989	`THX header. The version number will be ignored. It`
		6990	`will be taken from the build version number.`
		6991
		6992	`Minor changes:`
		6993	`* MOS Toolset`
		6994	`Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.`
		6995	`Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or`
		6996	`packaged.`
		6997
		6998	`* Src directive`
		6999	`No generates a warning if no source files are located within the`
		7000	`directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform`
		7001	`specifier.`
		7002
		7003	`* WIN32 runtime support`
		7004	`Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.`
		7005	`1) od - dump files in octal and other formats`
		7006	`2) cmp - compare two files byte by byte`
		7007
		7008	`Internal:`
		7009	`Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"`
		7010	`dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program`
		7011	`generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.`
		7012
		7013	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7014	`Version: JATS_2.42.0 Released: 19-Oct-05`
		7015	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7016	`Major changes:`
		7017	`* BuildAlias directive`
		7018	`Added options.`
		7019	`--Define - Does not create implicit platforms`
		7020	`--Target - Redeclares the alais as the list of all`
		7021	`platforms that are based on a given target or`
		7022	`targets.`
		7023	`Eg:`
		7024	`BuildAlias ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );`
		7025	`BuildProduct ( 'GAK', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );`
		7026	`BuildProduct ( 'PCP', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );`
		7027
		7028	`Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's`
		7029	`that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of`
		7030	`'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.`
		7031
		7032	`Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.`
		7033	`The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the`
		7034	`specification of all the LMOS targets.`
		7035
		7036
		7037	`Minor changes:`
		7038	`* Label utility`
		7039	`Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one`
		7040	`build.pl file`
		7041
		7042	`* Package directives. PackageFile.`
		7043	`Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn`
		7044	`needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.`
		7045	`Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the`
		7046	`--FilterIn option.`
		7047
		7048	`* jats release (cbuilder) utility`
		7049	`Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.`
		7050	`The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.`
		7051
		7052	`* Location of descpkg file`
		7053	`All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was`
		7054	`created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it`
		7055	`can be done within any makefile.pl.`
		7056
		7057	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7058	`Version: JATS_2.41.0 Released: 27-Sep-05`

		7061	`* RunTest directive`
		7062	`Extended the options and operation of RunTest`
		7063	`Additional options`
		7064	`--CopyIn=file`
		7065	`This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before`
		7066	`the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This`
		7067	`allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into`
		7068	`the test area.`
		7069
		7070	`Additional operations`
		7071	`The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of`
		7072	`transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms`
		7073	`--File(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a known file`
		7074	`--Local(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a file that has been Installed`
		7075	`--PackageBase(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a Package`
		7076	`Allows flags:`
		7077	`--dir - directory part of the pathname`
		7078	`--file - file part of the pathname`
		7079	`--abspath - as an absolute path`
		7080	`--absdrive - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)`
		7081
		7082	`Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their`
		7083	`existence is tested.`
		7084
		7085	`* Packaging Directives`
		7086	`Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets`
		7087	`such as LMOS.`
		7088
		7089	`PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');`
		7090

		7099	`the version of Java to be used to build a package.`
		7100
		7101	`BuildPlatforms ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );`
		7102
		7103	`The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.`
		7104	`This may not be sutable for all packages.`
		7105
		7106	`Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be`
		7107	`set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:`
		7108
		7109	`JAVA_HOME_1_4`
		7110	`JAVA_HOME_1_5`
		7111
		7112	`Minor changes:`
		7113	`* Script directive`

		7115	`These scripts are now always marked as executable.`
		7116
		7117	`* JATS environment`
		7118	`Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase`
		7119	`COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in`
		7120	`the JATS wrapper script.`
		7121
		7122	`* Label utility`
		7123	`Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.`
		7124	`There are three modes of operation:`
		7125	`1) -nocheckout Checked out files are not labeled`
		7126	`2) -checkout Only checked out files are labeled`

		7138	`This options retains the locked state of a label.`
		7139
		7140	`* AVR_IAR toolset`
		7141	`Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be`
		7142	`added to a program as it is created. The option is:`
		7143	`--ProgLoader=name`
		7144
		7145	`* Package directives. PackageFile`
		7146	`Added support for packaging of directory trees.`

		7152
		7153	`Only a single directory can be specified.`
		7154	`Multiple filters are allowed.`
		7155	`The directories must be within the current directory. It is not`
		7156	`possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.`
		7157
		7158	`The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.`
		7159	`The filters are regular expressions. Examples:`
		7160
		7161	`'--FilterIn=\.h$' - Select all files ending with .h`
		7162	`'--FilterOut=MyHeader.h' - Except this one`
		7163
		7164	`The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the`
		7165	`files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.`
		7166
		7167
		7168	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7169	`Version: JATS_2.39.0 Released: 14-Sep-05`
		7170	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7171	`Major changes:`
		7172	`* Make commands`
		7173	`Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.`
		7174
		7175	`The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools`

		7190
		7191	`* Deployment`
		7192	`Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction`
		7193	`with deployment operations.`
		7194
		7195	`* Release utility`
		7196	`Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.`
		7197	`The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further`
		7198	`restricted by options within the build.`
		7199
		7200	`* PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl`
		7201	`The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a`
		7202	`problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the`
		7203	`list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the`
		7204	`list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.`
		7205
		7206	`Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these`
		7207	`directives.`
		7208
		7209	`* MakeProject directive`
		7210	`If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed`
		7211	`because 'make' stops when a command fails.`
		7212
		7213	`The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the`
		7214	`log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command`

		7238	`* AddFlags directives`
		7239	`Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of`
		7240	`duplicate flags being added.`
		7241
		7242	`* GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)`
		7243	`Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS`

		7252	`labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root`
		7253	`directory.`
		7254
		7255	`The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT`
		7256	`reproducible.`

		7495	`* Support for Windows DLLs`
		7496	`When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is`

		7545	`force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as`

		7579	`If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what`

		7713	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7714	`Major changes:`
		7715	`* MOS Toolset`
		7716	`The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works`
		7717	`There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.`
		7718
		7719	`* WIN32 Toolset`
		7720	`Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs`
		7721	`toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link`
		7722	`list.`
		7723
		7724	`* Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset`
		7725	`allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.`

		7728
		7729	`* GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly`
		7730	`invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"`
		7731
		7732
		7733	`Minor changes:`
		7734	`* SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)`
		7735	`The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link`
		7736	`to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as`
		7737	`a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been`
		7738	`corrected.`
		7739
		7740	`* JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate`
		7741	`build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.`
		7742
		7743	`* Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged`
		7744	`library created from libraries that have been 'installed'`
		7745	`JATS would create a circular dependancy.`

		7772	`Major changes:`
		7773	`* Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.`
		7774	`The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward`
		7775	`compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and`
		7776	`SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.`
		7777
		7778	`* Preliminary Support`
		7779	`Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are`

		7785	`BuildArgument ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );`
		7786
		7787	`These options limit processing to either Production or Debug`
		7788	`building. The default build will build both.`
		7789
		7790	`Minor changes:`
		7791	`* Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate`
		7792	`a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats`
		7793	`directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.`
		7794
		7795	`* WCEX86A420 toolset`

		7807
		7808	`This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with`
		7809	`the library or program.`
		7810
		7811	`Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );`
		7812
		7813	`Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub`
		7814	`library or any debug files.`
		7815
		7816	`* GenerateFiles`
		7817	`All processed arguments now support two options.`
		7818

		7822	`ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)`
		7823	`The filename of the prereq file`
		7824
		7825	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if`
		7826	`the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to`
		7827	`the build command, will prevent this behaviour.`
		7828
		7829
		7830	`Minor changes:`
		7831	`* create_dpkg utility`
		7832	`Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow`
		7833	`utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that`

		7856
		7857	`The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.`
		7858
		7859	`* Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		7860	`GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles`
		7861	`to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.`
		7862
		7863	`The change allows the construct`
		7864	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS`
		7865	`to be replaced by the simpler`
		7866	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS`

		7912	`ansi, but is often done.`
		7913
		7914	`* GCC toolset`
		7915	`Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not`
		7916	`being created in the correct place.`
		7917
		7918	`* jats "label"`
		7919	`The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not`

		7989	`further commands.`
		7990
		7991	`Minor changes:`

		8002	`NoPDB - Disable the generation of PDBs`
		8003	`PDB - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).`

		8030	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8031	`Major changes:`
		8032	`* Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged`
		8033	`the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The`
		8034	`implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can`
		8035	`"installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.`
		8036	`The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as`
		8037	`this is the order in which the libraries will be created and`
		8038	`installed.`
		8039
		8040	`This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared`
		8041	`libraries that depend on each other.`
		8042
		8043	`This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not`
		8044	`generate separate stub libraries to link against.`

		8052	`first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a`
		8053	`"src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation`
		8054	`of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.`

		8063	`Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction`
		8064	`with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another`
		8065	`file.`
		8066
		8067	`* Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when`
		8068	`a soft link is used to redirect to the package.`

		8070	`* Win32 and WinCE toolsets`
		8071	`Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.`
		8072	`CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );`
		8073
		8074	`Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of`
		8075	`a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"`
		8076
		8077	`Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries`
		8078	`in the same manner at Shared Libraries.`
		8079
		8080	`* WinCE toolsets`
		8081	`Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve`
		8082	`compiler specific libraries.`
		8083
		8084	`* SOLARIS toolset`
		8085	`Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line`
		8086	`with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with`
		8087	`OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.`
		8088
		8089	`Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared`
		8090	`libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being`
		8091	`cleaned up.`
		8092
		8093	`* Microtec tools set (MOS)`

		8103	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8104	`Major changes:`
		8105	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		8106	`The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area`
		8107	`The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform`
		8108	`specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories`
		8109
		8110	`Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process`
		8111	`of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.`
		8112
		8113	`* Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the`
		8114	`user.`
		8115
		8116	`* MOS Microtec Toolset`
		8117	`Always present an absolute filename to the compiler`
		8118	`Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress`
		8119
		8120	`This will remove error messages about the path being too long`
		8121	`for the -Gf option.`

		8148	`1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy`
		8149	`Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the`
		8150	`"platform" name. Only useful within the context of the`
		8151	`PackageFile`
		8152
		8153	`2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile`
		8154	`directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the`
		8155	`platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a`
		8156	`suffix. In practice this is the logical use.`
		8157
		8158	`* Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been`
		8159	`discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files`
		8160	`to be installed and packaged.`

		8162	`Minor changes:`
		8163
		8164	`* cache_dpkg utility`

		8173
		8174	`* The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument`
		8175	`This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root`
		8176	`directory. ie:`
		8177
		8178	`BuildDirTree ( '', 'pkg' );`
		8179
		8180	`* Fixed DEVIM 00019520`
		8181	`The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to`
		8182	`the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.`
		8183
		8184
		8185	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8186	`Version: JATS_2.9.0 Released: 28-Feb-05`
		8187	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8188	`Major changes:`
		8189	`* First release for Back Office and Front Office use.`
		8190
		8191	`* Added the jats tool jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.`
		8192	`To be used by the nightly build process.`
		8193
		8194	`* Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.`
		8195	`The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the`
		8196	`compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete`
		8197	`the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.`
		8198
		8199	`The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's`
		8200	`interface directory and to remove all temp files before each`
		8201	`compilation.`
		8202
		8203	`This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.`
		8204
		8205	`Minor changes:`
		8206	`* The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if`
		8207	`one is being produced.`
		8208
		8209	`* Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"`
		8210	`option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better`
		8211	`job of cleaning the workspace.`
		8212
		8213	`* Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS`
		8214
		8215	`* Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive`
		8216
		8217	`* Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.`
		8218	`This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.`
		8219
		8220	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8221	`Version: JATS_2.8.0 Released: 17-Feb-05`
		8222	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8223	`Major changes:`
		8224	`* Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be`
		8225	`installed in order for the compilers to work.`
		8226
		8227	`* New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220`
		8228
		8229	`* All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile`
		8230	`This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the`
		8231	`same directory`
		8232
		8233	`* Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag`
		8234	`_DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the`
		8235	`documenattion.`
		8236
		8237	`Minor changes:`
		8238	`* Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings`
		8239	`Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match`
		8240
		8241	`* Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with`
		8242	`spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.`
		8243
		8244	`* Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.`
		8245	`Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB`
		8246
		8247	`* Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display`
		8248	`when the verbose option had not been selected`
		8249
		8250	`* Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files`
		8251	`would prevent the execution of the command. This command should`
		8252	`be exempt from this test.`
		8253
		8254	`* Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE`
		8255	`platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.`
		8256
		8257	`* The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build`
		8258	`clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.`
		8259
		8260	`Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be`
		8261	`removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"`
		8262	`does.`
		8263
		8264	`* The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will`
		8265	`not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.`
		8266
		8267
		8268	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8269	`Version: JATS_2.7.0 Released: 09-Feb-05`
		8270	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8271	`Major changes:`
		8272	`* First release with support for the DAFBR compiler`
		8273
		8274	`* Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:`
		8275	`--Interface - Pull lib from Interface directory`
		8276	`--Local - Pull lib from Local directory (default)`
		8277	`--SubDir=pathname - Pull lib from a subdirectory`
		8278	`Note: xxxx,pathname still works`
		8279
		8280	`* Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling`
		8281	`operations.`
		8282
		8283	`* Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.`
		8284
		8285	`* Added this manual ChangeLog file`
		8286
		8287	`Minor changes`
		8288	`* Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to`
		8289	`be run in a controlled environment from the command line.`
		8290
		8291	`* Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various`
		8292	`toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the`
		8293	`directory is not added to the library path.`
		8294
		8295	`Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will`
		8296	`not add the xxxx/lib to the path.`
		8297
		8298	`* cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.`
		8299	`The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search`
		8300	`first in an attempt to speed up the process.`
		8301
		8302	`* The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not`
		8303	`begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler`
		8304	`specific flags.`
		8305
		8306	`* The use of linker flags will issue a warning.`
		8307
		8308	`* Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been`
		8309	`determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions`
		8310	`such they are available to the common makefile.pl.`
		8311
		8312	`* Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify`
		8313	`a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of`
		8314	`JATS.`
		8315
		8316	`* Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that`
		8317	`caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.`
		8318
		8319	`* The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS`
		8320	`projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full`
		8321	`pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.`
		8322
		8323	`* The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to`
		8324	`the initial DLL or EXE.`
		8325
		8326	`* Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may`
		8327	`fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created`
		8328	`since the "generate" phase was not being run.`
		8329
		8330	`Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated`
		8331	`and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive`
		8332
		8333	`* JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.`
		8334
		8335	`* The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.`
		8336	`Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.`
		8337
		8338	`* Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if`
		8339	`the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's`
		8340	`objects.`
		8341
		8342	`* Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make`
		8343	`command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in`
		8344	`that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always`
		8345	`build defendants.`
