		2692	`Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs`
		2693	`invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.`
		2694
		2695	`This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat`
		2696	`Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.`
		2697
377	dpurdie	2698	`A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on`
		2699	`64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as`

		2720	`Debug information is created for both production and debug builds`
		2721	`Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the`
		2722	`executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner`
		2723	`as the main binary.`
		2724
		2725	`This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while`
		2726	`retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded`
		2727	`device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the`

		3626	`Useful side effects include:`
		3627
		3628	`JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included`
		3629	`with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.`
		3630
		3631	`[DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,`

313	dpurdie	3638	`* Perl Modules`
		3639	`Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS`

		3656
		3657	`* Jats label utility`
		3658	`Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors`
		3659
		3660	`Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that`
		3661	`the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find`
		3662	`new files and folders to label - there should be none.`

		3678
309	dpurdie	3679	`The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered`
307	dpurdie	3680	`in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile`
309	dpurdie	3681	`to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.`
307	dpurdie	3682

		3711
		3712	`WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the`

		3724	`Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.`
		3725
		3726	`* MOS builds`
		3727	`If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address`

		3755	`Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.`
		3756
		3757	`If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot`

		3788	`as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if`
		3789	`this occurs.`
		3790
		3791	`* The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.`
		3792	`This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'`

		3794	`automated build framework.`
		3795

		3808	`* Jats Command line and -java option`
		3809	`This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into`

		3875	`Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using`
		3876	`Borlands Delphi Version 7.`
		3877
		3878	`See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options`
		3879	`to the Prog and SharedLib directives.`
		3880
		3881	`This toolset has a number of limitations:`
		3882	`1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single`
		3883	`makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library`
		3884	`names cannot be changed.`
		3885
		3886	`2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated`
		3887	`artifacts is very simplistic.`
		3888
		3889	`Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the`
		3890	`name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.`
		3891	`ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );`
		3892	`Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'`
		3893
		3894	`Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk`
		3895	`file.`
		3896	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyPackage' );`
		3897	`will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file`
		3898	`MyPackage.dpk.`
		3899
		3900	`Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr`
		3901	`file.`
		3902	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyDll' );`
		3903	`will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file`
		3904	`MyDll.dpr.`
		3905
		3906	`Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr`
		3907	`file.`
		3908	`ie: Prog ( '*', 'MyProg' );`
		3909	`will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file`
		3910	`MyProg.dpr.`
		3911
		3912	`Minor changes:`
		3913	`* New EnvVar: DELPHI7`
		3914	`Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the`
		3915	`standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not`
		3916	`c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7`
		3917
		3918	`* BuildVersion directive`
		3919	`Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information`
		3920	`in a Delphi Unit.`
		3921
		3922	`Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.`
		3923	`If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files`
		3924	`will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will`
		3925	`'know' the location of the files.`
		3926
		3927	`* Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs`
		3928	`Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.`
		3929
		3930	`Internal Changes:`
		3931	`* ToolsetSHLD functions`
		3932	`Pass in the shared library version string as an argument`
		3933	`Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner`
		3934	`that is decoupled from the toolsets.`
		3935
		3936	`* Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries`
		3937	`merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets`
		3938	`and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.`

		3947
289	dpurdie	3948	`* Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password`

287	dpurdie	3950
289	dpurdie	3951	`NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order`

		3953	`Manager`
287	dpurdie	3954
		3955	`Minor changes:`

		4070
		4071	`Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT`
		4072
		4073	`Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow`
		4074	`environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'`

		4972	`Major changes:`
229	dpurdie	4973	`* Jats Release Mechanism`
		4974	`Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its`
		4975	`internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be`
		4976	`released using the 'standard' mechanism.`
		4977
		4978	`Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.`
		4979
		4980	`A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align`
		4981	`itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.`
		4982
		4983	`* Running Jats`
		4984	`Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.`

		4995	`Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer`

		4997	`compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.`
		4998
		4999	`* Build Directive: BuildVersion`
		5000	`This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'`
		5001	`file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT`
		5002	`build.`
		5003
		5004	`* Jats Internals`

		5006	`Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.`
		5007
		5008	`* Jats Tool: CCbc2`
		5009	`Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two`
		5010	`packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views`
		5011	`and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the`
		5012	`process.`
		5013
		5014	`Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.`
		5015	`Only works under Windows.`

		5022	`* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat`
		5023	`Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported`

		5025
		5026	`* Jats eprog`
		5027	`Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current`
		5028	`directory.`

		5040	`* Jats Tool: create_dpkg`
		5041	`Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and`

		5045	`-pversion=Package_Version`
		5046

		5057
		5058	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5059	`Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared`
		5060	`libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable`
		5061	`programs are still supported.`

		5066	`Major changes:`
		5067
		5068	`Minor changes:`
		5069	`* WINCE toolsets`
		5070	`Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset`
		5071	`This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been`
		5072	`installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers`
		5073	`when header files cannot be found.`
		5074
		5075	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5076	`If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make`
		5077	`it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames`
		5078	`that are difficult to solve.`
		5079
		5080	`* MakePerlModule directive`
		5081	`Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed`

		5087	`-dirs=xxx options.`
		5088
		5089	`* Jats Tool: release`
		5090	`Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the`
		5091	`build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.`
		5092
		5093	`Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be`
		5094	`used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.`
		5095
		5096	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`
		5097	`Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be`
		5098	`uploaded to CodeStriker.`

		5210	`Version: 2.71.1.cr Released: 16-Oct-07`
		5211	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5212	`Major changes:`
		5213
		5214	`Minor changes:`
		5215	`PackageLib directive`
		5216	`The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.`
		5217	`Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.`
		5218	`Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.`
		5219
		5220	`MakefileGenerate directive`
		5221	`This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,`

		5224	`Multiple Parent detection`
		5225	`A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the`

		5228	`condition will be treated as a warning.`
		5229
		5230	`Solaris Toolset`
		5231	`Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.`
		5232	`When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will`
		5233	`cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the`
		5234	`link.`
		5235
		5236	`Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the`
		5237	`misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an`
		5238	`indication that this is a bad thing to do.`
		5239
		5240	`Make and generation of subdirectories`
		5241	`Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.`
		5242	`This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency`
		5243	`file.`
		5244
		5245	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5246	`Version: 2.71.0.cr Released: 10-Oct-07`
		5247	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5248	`Major changes:`
		5249	`Makefile generation and make recursion`
		5250	`Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by`
		5251	`which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.`
		5252
		5253	`Summary of changes:`
		5254	`- Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories`
		5255	`and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program that performs`
		5256	`the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for`
		5257	`flexibility.`
		5258
		5259	`The user interface remains identical: jats make ....`
		5260
		5261	`- Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text`
		5262	`file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the`
		5263	`interface directory and associated build information.`
		5264
		5265	`- Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.`
		5266	`On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less`
		5267	`than one second.`
		5268
		5269	`- Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent`
		5270	`building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for`
		5271	`each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every`
		5272	`makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity`
		5273	`testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the`
		5274	`toolset. It is an expensive operation.`
		5275
		5276	`- Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism`
		5277	`for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,`
		5278	`rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.`
		5279
		5280	`- Better makefile rebuilding`
		5281	`Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to`
		5282	`detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-`
		5283	`building them.`
		5284
		5285	`- Detection of build file changes`
		5286	`The make process will detect that the build file has been modified`
		5287	`and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It`
		5288	`does not prevent the 'make' operation.`
		5289
		5290	`- Quieter make output`
		5291	`The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.`
		5292
		5293
		5294	`Minor changes:`
		5295	`MakeAnt Directive`
		5296	`Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5`
		5297
		5298	`JATS command "debug" and "prod"`
		5299	`These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:`
		5300	`jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args`
		5301	`Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution`
		5302	`display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.`
		5303
		5304	`CSHARP toolset`
		5305	`Correctly detect missing compiler directories`

		5318	`Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.`

		5398
		5399	`Minor changes:`
		5400	`* Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path`
		5401	`Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.`
		5402
		5403	`Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new`
		5404	`AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched`
		5405	`last.`
		5406
		5407	`For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:`
		5408
		5409	`1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl`
		5410	`or within any such directive with the --Local option`
		5411
		5412	`2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with`
		5413	`InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.`
		5414
		5415	`3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive`
		5416
		5417	`4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl`
		5418	`or within any such directive with the --Global option`
		5419
		5420	`5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive`
		5421
		5422
		5423	`6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl`

		5430	`Version: JATS_2.68.1 Released: 24-Aug-07`
		5431	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5432	`Major changes:`
		5433
		5434	`Minor changes:`
		5435	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5436	`Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the`
		5437	`dependent packages.`
		5438
		5439	`* RunTest operation`
		5440	`Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.`
		5441
		5442	`* Csharp toolkit`
		5443	`.dtd files are treated as resource files too`
		5444
		5445	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5446	`Version: JATS_2.68.0 Released: 20-Aug-07`
		5447	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5448	`Major changes:`
		5449	`* Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)`
		5450
		5451	`It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and`
		5452	`javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was`
		5453	`normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages`
		5454	`were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search`
		5455	`path.`
		5456
		5457	`JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt`
		5458	`directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and`
		5459	`reproducible.`
		5460
		5461	`This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.`
		5462	`This is better than building incorrectly.`
		5463
		5464	`There are several aspects to the change`
		5465	`1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If`
		5466	`the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the`
		5467	`PATH then these will be used and report an error.`
		5468
		5469	`2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build`
		5470	`Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.`
		5471	`Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is`
		5472	`controlled separately.`
		5473
		5474	`Minor changes:`
		5475	`* Sanitize the PATH environment variable`
		5476	`Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched`
		5477	`Remove duplicates`
		5478	`Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH`
		5479
		5480	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5481	`Version: JATS_2.67.1 Released: 17-Aug-07`
		5482	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5483	`Major changes:`
		5484
		5485	`Minor changes:`
		5486	`* Makefile sanity test`
		5487	`Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are`
		5488	`not then run on a machine of a different type.`
		5489
		5490	`This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-`
		5491	`x86 machine.`
		5492
		5493	`* Correct bug in RunTest`
		5494	`RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory`
		5495
		5496	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5497	`Version: JATS_2.67.0 Released: 13-Aug-07`
		5498	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5499	`Major changes:`
		5500	`* RunTest directive`
		5501	`Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the`
		5502	`CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing`
		5503	`toolset specific test frameworks has been added.`
		5504
		5505	`Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.`
		5506	`The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option`
		5507	`--FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program`
		5508	`under test will be passed to the framework. program.`
		5509
		5510	`If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework`
		5511	`builder within the current toolset.`
		5512
		5513	`When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:`
		5514	`'--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.`
		5515
		5516	`With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit`
		5517	`will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile`
		5518	`containing the RunTest directive.`
		5519
		5520	`The Nunit Framework supports the following options:`
		5521	`--Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+`
		5522
		5523	`This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will`
		5524	`be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external`
		5525	`package or the components 'local' lib directory.`
		5526
		5527	`SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:`
		5528	`--NonJats This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a`
		5529	`P or D suffix.`
		5530	`--Jats (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will`
		5531	`select the correct library type for this build.`
		5532
		5533	`Minor changes:`
		5534	`* New Cache cleanup mechanism`
		5535	`When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within`
		5536	`the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to`
		5537	`the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are`
		5538	`frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.`
		5539
		5540	`* Save Build Utility`
		5541	`This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file`
		5542	`used in a ripple build.`
		5543
		5544	`The utility has been enhanced to detect a reserved checkout of the`
		5545	`build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.`
		5546
		5547	`* Release Utility`
		5548	`The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked`
		5549	`when an error is encountered.`
		5550
		5551	`This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be`
		5552	`unlocked if a build error occurs.`
		5553
		5554	`* Jats caching local copy of itself`
		5555	`Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message`
		5556	`being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.`
		5557
		5558	`* Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step`
		5559	`before the makefiles are created.`
		5560
		5561	`* TestProg directive`
		5562	`TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs`
		5563
		5564	`* Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with`
		5565	`a 'space' or '$' in the file name.`

		5575	`These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.`
		5576	`DEVLINUX`
		5577	`LMOS_DEVLINUX`
		5578
		5579	`* Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]`

		5582
		5583	`Minor changes:`
		5584	`* Added utility class to provide directory searching`

		5589
		5590	`Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx`
		5591	`and .cs files.`
		5592
		5593	`Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right`
		5594	`thing.`
		5595
		5596	`* Microtec ColdFire compiler`
		5597	`Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a`
		5598	`local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control`
		5599	`were it places temp files.`
		5600
		5601	`Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected`
		5602	`interaction with other builds.`
		5603
		5604	`* Release utility command`
		5605	`Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create`
		5606	`multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique`
		5607	`component in the clearcase tag name.`

		5696	`Major changes:`
		5697	`* Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended`

		5699	`the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.`
		5700
		5701	`* GenerateFiles`
		5702	`Added the options:`
		5703	`--UnknownPreq - Will force the recipe to be run every time`

		5707
		5708	`--AutoGenerate - Will not force the recipe to be run during the`

		5848	`supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to`
		5849	`describe the group of platforms.`
		5850
		5851	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5852	`These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to`
		5853	`build these targets.`
		5854
		5855	`The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,`
		5856	`where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.`
		5857
		5858	`The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,`
		5859	`where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.`
		5860
		5861	`* New build platform: WINCE`
		5862	`This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.`
		5863	`Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for`
		5864	`consumption on all WINCE machines.`
		5865
		5866	`The current list of WINCE targets is:`
		5867	`WCEIT3000`
		5868	`WCEPA961`
		5869	`WCEPA962`
		5870	`WCEPCM7220`

		5873	`WCEPSPC_emu`
		5874	`WCEX86A420`
		5875	`WCEX86A500`
		5876	`WCEX86A500_SOM4455`
		5877
		5878	`The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.`
		5879
		5880	`* JATS makefile.pl`
		5881	`The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles`
		5882	`that contain packaging directives.`
		5883
		5884	`There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in`
		5885	`very unusual configurations.`
		5886
		5887	`Minor changes:`
		5888	`* Directive: PackageFile`
		5889	`Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming`
		5890	`conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain`
		5891	`an '='.`
		5892
		5893	`Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead`
		5894	`of "--Subdir=etc".`
		5895
		5896	`* JATS Internal utility: cmdfile`
		5897	`Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that`
		5898	`provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.`
		5899
		5900	`This version will display the library search path with one item per line,`
		5901	`rather than all items on one, very long, line.`
		5902
		5903	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5904	`Version: JATS_2.63.0 Released: 5-Apr-07`
		5905	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5906	`Major changes:`
		5907
		5908	`* JATS release command`
		5909	`Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is`
		5910	`specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.`
		5911
		5912	`Rules are:`
		5913	`Modify a file: File will branch`
		5914	`Adding a file: Containing directory will not branch`
		5915	`File will be placed on a branch`
		5916	`Add a directory: Containing directory will not branch`
		5917	`New directory will branch`
		5918
		5919	`Minor changes:`
		5920	`* JATS release command`
		5921	`Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the`
		5922	`user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.`
		5923
		5924	`* JATS label command`
		5925	`Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label`
		5926	`is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.`
		5927
		5928	`* JATS make`
		5929	`Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and`
		5930	`Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package`
		5931	`was re-packaged.`
		5932
		5933	`* JATS escrow`
		5934	`Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.`
		5935	`Use jats escrow -help for details`
		5936
		5937	`* makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt`
		5938	`This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java`
		5939	`packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.`
		5940
		5941	`This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in`
		5942	`packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the`
		5943	`interface directory.`
		5944
		5945	`* build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive`
		5946	`Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.`
		5947	`Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'`
		5948	`directory as seen by the package.`
		5949
		5950	`Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10`
		5951
		5952	`* JAVA 6`
		5953	`JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y`
		5954	`environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.`
		5955
		5956	`The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5`
		5957	`and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.`
		5958
		5959	`The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables`
		5960
		5961	`* Jats command: vars`
		5962	`Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory`
		5963	`These indicate potential problems.`
		5964
		5965	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5966	`Version: JATS_2.62.4 Released: 20-Mar-07`
		5967	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5968	`Major changes:`
		5969	`* JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)`
		5970	`When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned`
		5971	`libarry is also created.`
		5972
		5973	`Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical`
		5974	`copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is`
		5975	`'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two`
		5976	`files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)`
		5977	`The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug`
		5978	`information contained within the file.`
		5979
		5980	`This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',`
		5981	`'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.`
		5982
		5983	`The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used`
		5984	`within the build environment and dpkg_archive.`
		5985
		5986	`* Building Perl Modules`
		5987	`Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the`
		5988	`documentation on the build machine.`
		5989
		5990	`Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.`
		5991
		5992	`Minor changes:`
		5993	`* jats create_dpkg`
		5994	`Added an option to create a built.generic file`
		5995	`This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.`
		5996
		5997	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5998	`Version: JATS_2.62.3 Released: 28-Feb-07`
		5999	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6000	`Major changes:`
		6001	`* JATS JAVA build target`
		6002	`The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the`
		6003	`default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.`
		6004
		6005	`Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar`
		6006	`JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.`
		6007	`Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this`
		6008	`is then picked up as the default version.`
		6009
		6010	`If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the`
		6011	`build.pl file.`
		6012
		6013	`Minor changes:`
		6014	`* jats release`
		6015	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH`
		6016	`Issue an error if it cannot be found.`
		6017	`This error indicates bad DevEnv setup`
		6018
		6019	`Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.`
		6020	`Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify`
		6021	`the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,`
		6022	`based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change`
		6023	`the name of the view.`
		6024
		6025	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		6026	`Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.`
		6027
		6028	`* MOS Toolset`
		6029	`When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly`
		6030	`used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set`
		6031	`up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization`
		6032
		6033	`Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );`
		6034
		6035
		6036	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6037	`Version: JATS_2.62.2 Released: 15-Feb-07`
		6038	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6039	`Major changes:`
		6040
		6041	`Minor changes:`
		6042	`* JATS environment`
		6043	`Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH`
		6044	`environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities`
		6045	`that are located in the Perl bin directory.`
		6046
		6047	`Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html`
		6048
		6049	`* Use of GENERIC platforms`
		6050	`Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform`
		6051	`specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because`
		6052	`they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need`
		6053	`to be packaged.`
		6054
		6055	`* Generated makefiles`
		6056	`Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.`
		6057
		6058	`* Generating MOS THX files`
		6059	`Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX`
		6060	`files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.`
		6061	`This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.`
		6062
		6063	`SharedLib ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );`
		6064
		6065	`* JATS release`
		6066	`Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix`
		6067
		6068	`* JATS extract`
		6069	`New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'`
		6070
		6071	`* JATS Toolset`
		6072	`Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)`
		6073	`This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK`
		6074
		6075
		6076	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6077	`Version: JATS_2.62.1 Released: 18-Jan-07`
		6078	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6079	`Major changes:`
		6080
		6081	`Minor changes:`
		6082	`* jats label`
		6083	`Added a -vob=name option`
		6084	`This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete`
		6085	`labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option`
		6086	`cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.`
		6087	`It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.`
		6088
		6089	`Added a -user=name option`
		6090	`This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the`
		6091	`label to the named user.`
		6092
		6093	`* jats release`
		6094	`Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner`
		6095	`Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.`
		6096
		6097	`* JATS build.pl`
		6098	`BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.`
		6099	`ie:`
		6100	`BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');`
		6101
		6102
		6103	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6104	`Version: JATS_2.62.0 Released: 22-Dec-06`
		6105	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6106	`Major changes:`
		6107	`* GenerateFiles and RunTest directives`
		6108	`These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile`
		6109	`values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of`
		6110	`the makefile internals. ie:`
		6111	`--Var(BuildName)`
		6112	`will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)`
		6113	`-BuildName=MyPackage`
		6114
		6115	`The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.`
		6116
		6117	`* GenerateFiles`
		6118	`Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase`
		6119	`This allows external scripts to cleanup.`
		6120
		6121	`* BuildPlatforms`
		6122	`Restored operation of the --Uses option`
		6123
		6124	`Minor changes:`
		6125	`* GCC Toolset`
		6126	`Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages`
		6127
		6128	`Internal changes:`
		6129	`* GenerateFiles`
		6130	`Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.`
		6131
		6132	`--Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an`
		6133	`external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.`
		6134
		6135
		6136	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6137	`Version: JATS_2.61.3 Released: 14-Dec-06`
		6138	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6139	`Major changes:`
		6140	`* Caching JATS`
		6141	`Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local`
		6142	`drive. This is applicable to windows.`
		6143
		6144	`This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in`
		6145	`dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of`
		6146	`then using JATS across a slow(network) link.`
		6147
		6148	`The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.`
		6149	`Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be`
		6150	`effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.`
		6151
		6152	`Use: Build Machines and Windows Users`
		6153
		6154	`Minor changes:`
		6155	`* Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option`
		6156	`Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:`
		6157	`TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.`
		6158
		6159	`* jats build`
		6160	`If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache`
		6161	`packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package`
		6162	`processed by the build.`
		6163
		6164	`* jats build`
		6165	`Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the`
		6166	`makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating`
		6167	`makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error`
		6168	`message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users`
		6169	`from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.`
		6170
		6171	`* PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr`
		6172	`Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the`
		6173	`Path is not specified.`
		6174
		6175	`Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in`
		6176	`conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a`
		6177	`package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified`
		6178	`--Dir=$Pinc`
		6179	`but $Pinc is not defined.`
		6180
		6181	`* Purify and Purecov under Windows`
		6182	`Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the`
		6183	`Windows platform.`
		6184
		6185	`- OPTIONS=purecov`
		6186	`Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required`
		6187	`by 'purecov.`
		6188
		6189	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		6190	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows`
		6191
		6192	`- OPTIONS=purify`
		6193	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		6194	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.`
		6195	`Under WIndows this option does nothing.`
		6196
		6197

		6201	`Major changes:`
		6202	`* makefile.pl directive Platform`
		6203	`This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation`
		6204	`Example:`
		6205	`Platform ('!MOSCF');`
		6206	`Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF`
		6207	`This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');`
		6208
		6209	`Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have`
		6210	`been determined.`
		6211
		6212	`Minor changes:`
		6213	`* Added the ScanList directive.`
		6214	`This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be`
		6215	`located at build-time.`
		6216
		6217	`* Unix based systems`
		6218	`If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be`
		6219	`generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.`
		6220
		6221	`* MakeLinuxDriver`
		6222	`Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the`
		6223	`driver being built.`

		6254
		6255	`GenerateFiles.`
		6256	`Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does`

		6319	`Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files`
		6320
		6321	`* Microtec Coldfire compiler`
		6322	`Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.`
		6323	`This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds`
		6324	`are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a`
		6325	`similar, but more pronounced, issue.`
		6326
		6327	`* Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)`
		6328	`New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS`
		6329	`The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232`
		6330	`The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722`
		6331
		6332	`Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.`
		6333	`AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.`

		6422	`tool is created, rather then the target platform type.`
		6423
		6424	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6425	`Version: JATS_2.56.2 Released: 28-Aug-06`
		6426	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6427	`Major changes:`
		6428
		6429	`Minor changes:`
		6430	`* WIN32 and WINCE toolsets`
		6431	`SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'`
		6432	`library without creating the body of the library:`
		6433	`eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );`
		6434
		6435
		6436	`* MOS toolsets`
		6437	`SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'`

		6453	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6454	`Version: JATS_2.56.1 Released: 23-Aug-06`
		6455	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6456	`Major changes:`
		6457	`* Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64`
		6458	`Initial release.`
		6459
		6460	`Minor changes:`
		6461
		6462
		6463	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6464	`Version: JATS_2.56.0 Released: 18-Aug-06`
		6465	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6466	`Major changes:`
		6467	`* Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64`
		6468	`Initial release.`
		6469
		6470	`* Packaging directives`
		6471	`Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into`
		6472	`a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.`
		6473
		6474	`Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on`
		6475	`SOLARIS`
		6476	`WIN32`
		6477
		6478	`* Removal of support for badly formed packages`
		6479	`As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory`
		6480	`will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect`
		6481	`directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose`
		6482	`of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,`
		6483	`solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).`
		6484
		6485	`* Build Platform target name expansion facility`
		6486	`The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They`
		6487	`will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .`
		6488
		6489
		6490	`Minor changes:`
		6491	`* Utility: JATS LABEL`
		6492	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.`
		6493	`Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.`
		6494
		6495	`* Utility: JATS RELEASE`
		6496	`Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given`
		6497	`location`
		6498
		6499	`Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for`
		6500	`controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx`
		6501
		6502	`* Utility genrc`
		6503	`Added the company name to the copyright string`
		6504
		6505	`* Utility: jats_save_build`
		6506	`Added option: -new`
		6507	`This option forces the saved file only a new branch.`
		6508	`The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific`
		6509	`branch. Useful when branching an entire release.`
		6510
		6511	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6512	`Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.`
		6513	`Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.`
		6514
		6515	`* Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir`
		6516	`These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for`
		6517	`migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.`
		6518
		6519	`The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl`
		6520	`features - in a uniform manner.`
		6521
		6522
		6523	`Internal Changes:`
		6524	`* Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts`
		6525	`directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.`
		6526
		6527	`Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:`
		6528	`1) Platform information available at build time`
		6529	`2) Dynamic platform names`
		6530
		6531	`* Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform`
		6532	`The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the`
		6533	`machine on which the platform is invoked.`
		6534
		6535	`Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into`
		6536	`configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the`
		6537	`SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.`
		6538
		6539	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6540	`Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32`
		6541	`platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer`
		6542	`needed.`
		6543
		6544	`A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be`
		6545	`located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change`
		6546	`should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle`
		6547	`files from all of these.`

		6558	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6559	`Version: JATS_2.55.0 Released: 3-Aug-06`
		6560	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6561	`Major changes:`
		6562	`* Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used`
		6563	`Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of`
		6564	`JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.`
		6565
		6566	`The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.`
		6567
		6568	`JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up`
		6569	`the operations.`
		6570
		6571	`The version option MUST be the first option.`
		6572
		6573	`The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.`
		6574	`This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.`
		6575
		6576	`Example: jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build`
		6577
		6578	`* Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script`
		6579	`and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.`
		6580
		6581	`* Utility: create_dpkg`
		6582	`Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts`
		6583	`Extended the built-in help`
		6584	`Added useful error messages`
		6585	`Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism`
		6586
		6587	`* WinCE toolset`
		6588	`Added support for the WCEPA962 target.`
		6589
		6590	`* M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware`
		6591	`Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files`
		6592	`are used in the creation of bootstraps.`
		6593
		6594	`Minor changes:`
		6595	`* JATS wrapper script`
		6596	`Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from`
		6597	`the command line.`
		6598
		6599	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6600	`Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the`
		6601	`ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.`
		6602
		6603	`Internal Changes:`
		6604	`* Common Error Reporting`
		6605	`Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels`
		6606	`for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars`
		6607	`of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE`
		6608	`level.`
		6609
		6610	`Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is`
		6611	`displayed.`
		6612
		6613	`Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.`
		6614
		6615	`* Added JatsSystem module`
		6616	`Common code for accessing system commands`

		6628	`Added AT7272 support`
		6629

		6647	`Major changes:`
		6648
		6649	`Minor changes:`

		6651	`Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production`
		6652	`builds.`
		6653
		6654	`* JATS Core`
		6655	`Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an`
		6656	`auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their`
		6657	`behaviour.`
		6658
		6659	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6660	`Version: JATS_2.54.0 Released: 22-Jun-06`
		6661	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6662	`Major changes:`
		6663	`* Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.`
		6664	`Deployment package will be affected.`
		6665
		6666	`The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment`
		6667	`support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:`
		6668
		6669	`BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );`
		6670
		6671	`This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided`
		6672	`by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start`
		6673	`of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield`
		6674	`packages.`
		6675
		6676	`* Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS`
		6677	`The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex`
		6678	`and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.`
		6679
		6680	`This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'`
		6681	`the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'`
		6682
		6683	`Minor changes:`
		6684	`* SubDir directive`
		6685	`Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies`
		6686	`a directory from two different makefiles.`
		6687
		6688	`* Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend`
		6689	`If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated`
		6690	`dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence`
		6691	`of the file usage.`
		6692
		6693	`* New utility: jats_manifest`
		6694	`Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.`
		6695	`Beta Release: Windows only at the moment`
		6696
		6697	`* Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc`
		6698	`The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries`
		6699	`generated within the build and have been installed locally.`
		6700
		6701	`* Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script`
		6702	`This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.`
		6703	`In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and`
		6704	`will execute a JATS extended command.`
		6705
		6706
		6707	`Internal Changes:`
		6708	`* Code refactor`
		6709	`Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.`
		6710
		6711	`* Deployment utilities`
		6712	`The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file`
		6713	`Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.`
		6714	`The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and`
		6715	`the module can locate the file.`
		6716
		6717	`Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate`
		6718	`the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.`
		6719
		6720	`* JATS core`
		6721	`Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.`
		6722
		6723	`Better parsing of descpkg files.`
		6724
		6725	`* JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm`
		6726	`Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs`
		6727	`through the use of environment variables.`
		6728
		6729	`A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment`
		6730	`variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.`
		6731
		6732	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6733	`Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:`
		6734	`deployfiles - as used by the deployment system`
		6735	`tools/scripts - as used by perl based extensions`
		6736
		6737	`* Make environment`
		6738	`Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to`
		6739	`include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.`

		6763	`* Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access`
		6764	`The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been`
		6765	`radically replaced.`
		6766
		6767	`A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.`
		6768	`Usage:`
		6769	`jats etool test_rmconnection`
		6770
		6771	`The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle`
		6772	`Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with`
		6773	`this solution:`
		6774	`- Required the installation of two Perl Modules`
		6775	`- Required the installation of an Oracle client`
		6776	`- Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris`
		6777	`- Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline`
		6778
		6779	`The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin`
		6780	`client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in`
		6781	`order to work.`
		6782
		6783	`JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but`
		6784	`reduced functionality.`
		6785
		6786
		6787	`Minor changes:`
		6788	`* makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		6789	`Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.`
		6790	`This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.`
		6791
		6792	`* makefile.pl directive: SetList`
		6793	`Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists`
		6794	`within the makefiles.`
		6795	`Options:`
		6796	`--NoWarn Disable name clash warnings`
		6797	`--Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+ Add to list in selected projects`
		6798	`--Unique Add only if not already present`
		6799	`--Clear Clear list, before adding new items`

		6804	`SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');`
		6805	`SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );`
		6806
		6807	`* Makefile.pl directive: RunTest`
		6808	`Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file`
		6809	`is not in the current directory.`
		6810
		6811	`* Jats Command: ant'`
		6812	`This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option`
		6813	`to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.`
		6814
		6815	`eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant`
		6816
		6817	`* TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support`
		6818	`Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next`
		6819	`generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version`
		6820	`of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr`
		6821
		6822	`* Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh`
		6823	`Added provision to process user command arguments.`
		6824	`Thus`
		6825
		6826	`set_WIN32.bat prog`
		6827
		6828	`will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog`

		6833	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6834	`Major changes:`
		6835
		6836	`Minor changes:`
		6837	`* Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.`
		6838	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be`
		6839	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project`
		6840	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6841	`$(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always`
		6842
		6843	`* m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware`
		6844	`Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are`
		6845	`created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.`
		6846
		6847	`Internal changes:`
		6848	`* JATS toolsets`
		6849	`Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created`
		6850	`as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a`
		6851	`number of files, some which may be packaged.`
		6852
		6853	`Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now`
		6854	`they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.`

		6857	`Version: JATS_2.52.1 Released: 29-Mar-06`
		6858	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6859	`Major changes:`
		6860	`* Jats command: etool`
		6861	`Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment`
		6862	`tools to use the JATS core perl modules.`
		6863
		6864	`* Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer`
		6865	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be`
		6866	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt`
		6867	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6868	`$(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always`
		6869	`$ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always`

		6877	`Major changes:`
		6878	`* JATS environment variables`
		6879	`Added GBE_DPKG_STORE`
		6880	`Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow`
		6881	`read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be`
		6882	`searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,`
		6883	`will not publish packages in this repository.`
		6884
		6885	`Uses: Seed repository for a complete build`
		6886	`Remote repository`
		6887
		6888	`Added GBE_DPLY`
		6889	`Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the`
		6890	`placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.`
		6891
		6892	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6893	`Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.`
		6894	`Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This`
		6895	`created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by`
		6896	`the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.`
		6897
		6898	`The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be`
		6899	`processed once and it will be processed last.`
		6900
		6901
		6902	`Minor changes:`
		6903	`* JATS utility: build`
		6904	`* JATS utility: cache_dpkg`
		6905	`Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within`
		6906	`GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.`
		6907
		6908	`* JATS utility: gen_cots`
		6909	`Ensure label is not locked`
		6910	`Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package`
		6911	`that already exists in dpkg_archive.`
		6912
		6913	`* JATS directive: PackageFile`
		6914	`Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process`
		6915	`to a specific type of build.`
		6916
		6917	`* JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests`
		6918	`Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information`
		6919	`to be extracted and passed to generator programs.`
		6920	`ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)`
		6921
		6922	`Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as`
		6923	`sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.`
		6924	`ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)`
		6925
		6926	`* JATS utility: release`
		6927	`Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have`
		6928	`been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.`
		6929
		6930	`* JATS utility: label`
		6931	`Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,`
		6932	`when it is being created.`
		6933
		6934	`Internal Changes`
		6935	`* JATS utility: create_dpkg`
		6936	`Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.`
		6937
		6938	`Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use`
		6939	`to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.`
		6940
		6941	`* Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive`
		6942	`This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting`
		6943	`different results.`
		6944
		6945	`* ToolsetRequire directive`
		6946	`This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within`
		6947	`packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory`

		6959	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6960	`Major changes:`
		6961	`* WIN32 utilities`
		6962	`Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)`
		6963	`with versions from the GNUWin32 project.`
		6964
		6965	`The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories`
		6966	`under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the`
		6967	`same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).`
		6968
		6969	`Minor changes:`
		6970	`* BuildVersion`
		6971	`The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file`
		6972	`will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'`
		6973	`program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.`
		6974
		6975	`The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.`
		6976
		6977	`* Unix Builds`
		6978	`Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static`
		6979	`library or a shared library.`
		6980
		6981	`JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred`
		6982	`when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix`
		6983	`systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already`
		6984	`start with 'lib'.`
		6985
		6986	`* BuildPkgArchive`
		6987	`Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if`
		6988	`they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source`
		6989	`package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.`
		6990
		6991	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6992	`Version: JATS_2.49.0 Released: 10-Feb-06`
		6993	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6994	`Major changes:`
		6995	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6996	`Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target`
		6997	`THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get`
		6998	`regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was`
		6999	`being manually maintained.`
		7000
		7001
		7002	`Minor changes:`
		7003	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7004	`Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset`
		7005	`that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset`
		7006	`supports ANT builds.`
		7007
		7008	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		7009	`Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where`
		7010	`there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.`
		7011
		7012	`* Label utility`
		7013	`Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified`
		7014	`files to be labeled.`
		7015
		7016	`* Build. Parsing descpkg files`
		7017	`Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly`
		7018	`on Solaris.`
		7019
		7020	`* Generated makefiles`
		7021	`Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to`
		7022	`nothing.`
		7023
		7024	`* MOS Toolset`
		7025	`Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.`
		7026	`This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised`
		7027	`modules.`
		7028
		7029	`* Utility: gen_cots`
		7030	`This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry`
		7031	`and then check it in under clearcase.`
		7032
		7033	`JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.`

		7040	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7041	`Major changes:`
		7042	`None`
		7043
		7044	`Minor changes:`
		7045	`* DEVI addressed`
		7046	`DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource`
5710	dpurdie	7047	`DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource`
227	dpurdie	7048
		7049	`* Utility: release (cbuild)`
		7050	`Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching`
		7051	`rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:`
		7052
		7053	`jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH`
		7054
		7055	`will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating`
		7056	`a patch for Sydney Legacy work.`
		7057
		7058	`* RunTest directive`
		7059	`The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have`
		7060	`been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to`
		7061	`test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.`
		7062
		7063	`* PackageFile, Option --DirTree`
		7064	`Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the`
		7065	`--DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be`
		7066	`packaged under JATS`
		7067
		7068	`Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not`
		7069	`supported within JATS.`
		7070
		7071	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7072	`Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the`
		7073	`sanitized environment provided by JATS.`
		7074
		7075	`The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's`
		7076	`PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the`
		7077	`JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.`
		7078
		7079	`Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2`
		7080	`Eg: jats ant`
		7081
		7082	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7083	`Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )`
		7084
5710	dpurdie	7085	`This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file`
227	dpurdie	7086	`called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called`
		7087	`<ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the`
		7088	`<ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the`
		7089	`<ProjectName>.xml file.`
		7090
5710	dpurdie	7091	`If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will`
227	dpurdie	7092	`expect a build.pl file.`
		7093
		7094	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7095	`Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.`
		7096
		7097	`* Jats utility: create_dpkg`
		7098	`Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within`
		7099	`the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.`
		7100
		7101	`* Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)`
		7102	`Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.`
		7103
		7104	`* Build files`
		7105	`Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with`
5710	dpurdie	7106	`VIX extensions.`
227	dpurdie	7107

		7109	`Version: JATS_2.47.0 Released: 20-Dec-05`
		7110	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7111	`Major changes:`
		7112	`* BuildVersion directive in build.pl`
		7113	`Correct a problem in the generation of version.c`
		7114	`The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing`
		7115	`space when the 'array' mode was selected.`
		7116
		7117	`This may cause module validation to fail.`
		7118

		7122	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7123	`Version: JATS_2.46.0 Released: 08-Dec-05`
		7124	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7125	`Major changes:`
		7126	`* BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives`
		7127	`Added option --Uses=NAME`
		7128	`ie:`
		7129	`BuildProduct ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5', 'MOSCF' );`
		7130
		7131	`This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5`
		7132	`headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the`
		7133	`OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build`
		7134	`environments are compatible.`
		7135
		7136
		7137	`Minor changes:`
		7138	`* BuildName option`
		7139	`Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames`
5710	dpurdie	7140	`that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).`
227	dpurdie	7141
		7142	`* jats.bat`
		7143	`Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined`
		7144	`It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.`
		7145
		7146	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7147	`Version: JATS_2.45.0 Released: 29-Nov-05`
		7148	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7149	`Major changes:`
		7150	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		7151	`The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified`
		7152	`so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly`
		7153	`speeds up multiple 'build' operations.`
		7154
		7155	`If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then`
		7156	`this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are`
		7157	`considered as under development and are subject to change.`
		7158
		7159	`If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be`
		7160	`installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to`
		7161	`be transferred into the 'interface' directory.`
		7162
		7163	`A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been`
		7164	`transferred.`
		7165
		7166	`* Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.`
		7167	`See notes below.`
		7168
		7169	`* WIN32 toolset`
		7170	`Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate`
		7171	`correctly.`
		7172
		7173	`Export the complete library search path into the build environment`
		7174	`for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.`
		7175
		7176	`* BuildVersion`
		7177	`Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#`
		7178	`The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for`
		7179	`other langauges as needed.`
		7180
		7181
		7182	`Minor changes:`
		7183	`* Utility: gen_winrc.pl`
		7184	`Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.`
		7185	`This information will be available to be placed into the generation`
		7186	`version strings.`
		7187
		7188	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		7189	`Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local`
		7190	`package or an imported package.`
		7191
		7192	`* Toolsets: MOS_MRI`
		7193	`Generate an error if required tools are not found.`
		7194	`Previously this condition would generate a warning.`
		7195
		7196	`* BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives`
		7197	`Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check`
		7198	`was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same`
		7199	`version to be included. This could result in badly formed`
		7200	`makefiles and strange error messages.`
		7201
		7202	`Internal Changes`
		7203	`* Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common`
		7204	`directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite`
		7205	`of utilities.`
		7206
		7207	`Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting`
		7208	`functions.`

		7211	`Version: JATS_2.44.0 Released: 18-Nov-05`
		7212	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7213	`Major changes:`
		7214	`* Generated makefiles`
		7215	`Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE`
		7216	`cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure`
		7217	`that sed did not process its arguments.`
		7218
		7219	`This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts`
		7220	`within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was`
		7221	`incorrectly processing:`
		7222	`sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'`
		7223	`The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was`
		7224	`then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally`
		7225	`confused.`
		7226
		7227	`NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a`
		7228	`breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).`
		7229	`The construct`
		7230	`-D__SOURCE__=\"name\"`
		7231	`was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,`
		7232	`then it works.`
		7233
		7234	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7235	`Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile`
		7236
		7237	`This option has the following effects`
		7238	`1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and`
		7239	`can be used installed and manipulated.`
		7240
		7241	`2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done`
		7242	`early - in the generated files phase.`
		7243
		7244	`Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java`
		7245	`component needs to generate a header file early.`
		7246
		7247
		7248	`Minor changes:`
		7249	`* JATS post-installation script`
		7250	`Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.`
		7251
		7252	`* Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix`
		7253	`systems. Thus .h and .H files will considered header files in`
		7254	`windows.`
		7255
		7256	`* Build.pl rewrite tool`
		7257	`Handle all variants of BuildName`
		7258
		7259	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7260	`Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable`
		7261	`1) Contain spaces`
		7262	`2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped`
		7263
		7264	`* Toolset`
		7265	`Added a 'LINUX' platform.`
		7266
		7267	`* JAVA toolset`
		7268	`Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following`
		7269	`directive:`
		7270
		7271	`includeAntRuntime="off"'`
		7272
		7273	`This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to`
		7274	`the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's`
		7275	`version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.`
		7276
		7277	`* GCC Toolset`
		7278	`Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian`
		7279
		7280	`* Makefile generation`
		7281	`When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS`
		7282	`has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.`
		7283	`Previously JATS would use the package name found within the`
		7284	`descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the`
		7285	`package could not be used.`
		7286
		7287	`* Unit Tests`
		7288	`The following environment variables are set:`
		7289
		7290	`GBE_TYPE - The type of build. Debug or production. This`
		7291	`will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'`
		7292
		7293	`GBE_HOST - The host machine we are running on.`
		7294	`This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'`
		7295
		7296	`These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.`
		7297
		7298	`* New makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		7299
		7300
		7301	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`

		7305	`* New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.`
		7306
		7307	`Special features of this toolset.`
		7308	`1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file`
		7309	`This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be`
		7310	`incorporated within the target image.`
		7311
		7312	`2) Prog directive extensions:`
		7313	`--Set=Name=Value`
		7314	`The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.`
		7315	`This allows the location of program segments to be set`
		7316
		7317	`--Ref=name`
		7318	`The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used`
		7319	`to provide information that will be placed within the`
		7320	`THX header. The version number will be ignored. It`
		7321	`will be taken from the build version number.`
		7322
		7323	`Minor changes:`
		7324	`* MOS Toolset`
		7325	`Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.`
		7326	`Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or`
		7327	`packaged.`
		7328
		7329	`* Src directive`
		7330	`No generates a warning if no source files are located within the`
		7331	`directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform`
		7332	`specifier.`
		7333
		7334	`* WIN32 runtime support`
		7335	`Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.`
		7336	`1) od - dump files in octal and other formats`
		7337	`2) cmp - compare two files byte by byte`
		7338
		7339	`Internal:`
		7340	`Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"`
		7341	`dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program`
		7342	`generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.`
		7343
		7344	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7345	`Version: JATS_2.42.0 Released: 19-Oct-05`

		7351	`--Target - Redeclares the alais as the list of all`
		7352	`platforms that are based on a given target or`
		7353	`targets.`
		7354	`Eg:`
		7355	`BuildAlias ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );`
		7356	`BuildProduct ( 'GAK', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );`
		7357	`BuildProduct ( 'PCP', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );`
		7358
		7359	`Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's`
		7360	`that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of`
		7361	`'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.`
		7362
		7363	`Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.`
		7364	`The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the`
		7365	`specification of all the LMOS targets.`
		7366
		7367
		7368	`Minor changes:`
		7369	`* Label utility`

		7377	`--FilterIn option.`
		7378
		7379	`* jats release (cbuilder) utility`
		7380	`Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.`
		7381	`The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.`
		7382
		7383	`* Location of descpkg file`
		7384	`All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was`
		7385	`created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it`
		7386	`can be done within any makefile.pl.`
		7387
		7388	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7389	`Version: JATS_2.41.0 Released: 27-Sep-05`
		7390	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7391	`Major changes:`
		7392	`* RunTest directive`
		7393	`Extended the options and operation of RunTest`
		7394	`Additional options`
		7395	`--CopyIn=file`
		7396	`This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before`
		7397	`the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This`
		7398	`allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into`
		7399	`the test area.`
		7400
		7401	`Additional operations`
		7402	`The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of`
		7403	`transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms`
		7404	`--File(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a known file`
		7405	`--Local(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a file that has been Installed`
		7406	`--PackageBase(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a Package`
		7407	`Allows flags:`
		7408	`--dir - directory part of the pathname`
		7409	`--file - file part of the pathname`
		7410	`--abspath - as an absolute path`
		7411	`--absdrive - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)`
		7412
		7413	`Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their`
		7414	`existence is tested.`
		7415
		7416	`* Packaging Directives`
		7417	`Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets`
		7418	`such as LMOS.`
		7419
		7420	`PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');`
		7421

		7430	`the version of Java to be used to build a package.`
		7431
		7432	`BuildPlatforms ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );`
		7433
		7434	`The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.`
		7435	`This may not be sutable for all packages.`
		7436
		7437	`Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be`
		7438	`set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:`
		7439
		7440	`JAVA_HOME_1_4`
		7441	`JAVA_HOME_1_5`
		7442
		7443	`Minor changes:`

		7447
		7448	`* JATS environment`
		7449	`Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase`
		7450	`COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in`
		7451	`the JATS wrapper script.`
		7452
		7453	`* Label utility`
		7454	`Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.`
		7455	`There are three modes of operation:`

		7478	`Options to do this are:`
		7479	`--TreeDir=name`
		7480	`--FilterOut=regexp`
		7481	`--FilterIn=regexp`
		7482	`--StripDir`
		7483
		7484	`Only a single directory can be specified.`
		7485	`Multiple filters are allowed.`
		7486	`The directories must be within the current directory. It is not`
		7487	`possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.`
		7488
		7489	`The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.`
		7490	`The filters are regular expressions. Examples:`
		7491
		7492	`'--FilterIn=\.h$' - Select all files ending with .h`
		7493	`'--FilterOut=MyHeader.h' - Except this one`
		7494
		7495	`The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the`
		7496	`files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.`
		7497
		7498
		7499	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7500	`Version: JATS_2.39.0 Released: 14-Sep-05`
		7501	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7502	`Major changes:`

		7515	`Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable`
		7516	`variables and overrides.`
		7517

		7527	`Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.`
		7528	`The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further`
		7529	`restricted by options within the build.`
		7530
		7531	`* PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl`
		7532	`The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a`
		7533	`problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the`
		7534	`list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the`
		7535	`list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.`
		7536
		7537	`Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these`
		7538	`directives.`
		7539
		7540	`* MakeProject directive`
		7541	`If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed`
		7542	`because 'make' stops when a command fails.`
		7543
		7544	`The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the`
		7545	`log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command`
		7546	`is preserved.`
		7547
		7548	`* Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl`
		7549	`Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'`

		7571	`duplicate flags being added.`
		7572
		7573	`* GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)`
		7574	`Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS`
		7575	`loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.`
		7576
		7577	`* Mug File Generation`
		7578	`Added support to allow load files to include other load files.`
		7579
		7580	`* 'cbuild' or 'release' command`
		7581	`Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the`
		7582	`problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been`
		7583	`labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root`
		7584	`directory.`
		7585
		7586	`The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT`
		7587	`reproducible.`

		7596	`longer a list of directories.`
		7597
		7598	`Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now`
		7599	`done within the toolset.`

		7616	`Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various`
		7617	`target platforms to be extracted.`
		7618
		7619	`Better support for Product families. This is only an issue`
		7620	`for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of`
		7621	`libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.`
		7622
		7623	`* Utility: release (cbuilder)`
		7624	`Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests`
		7625	`Units tests will still be run by default.`

		7648	`tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will`
		7649	`be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to`
5710	dpurdie	7650	`the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as`
227	dpurdie	7651	`-- Auto.`
		7652

		7661	`locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.`
		7662
		7663	`* WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6`
		7664	`The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer`

		7667	`installed on the machine.`
		7668
		7669	`* WINCE Targets`
		7670	`The name of the SDK is case sensitive.`

		7687
		7688	`* UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)`
		7689	`Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to`

		7693
		7694	`Minor changes:`

		7718	`Major changes:`
		7719	`* SunWorks production builds`
		7720	`Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler`
		7721	`optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:`

		7731
		7732	`Minor changes:`
		7733	`* Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under`
		7734	`windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.`
		7735	`This should not affect current users.`

		7749
		7750	`Minor changes:`
		7751	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7752	`Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe`

		7754	`that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.`
		7755
		7756	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive`
		7757	`Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft`

		7785
		7786	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7787	`Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of`

		7826	`* Support for Windows DLLs`
		7827	`When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is`

		7907	`Multiple platforms should be specified as:`
		7908	`Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );`
		7909	`with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace`
		7910	`If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what`

		7912	`solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.`
		7913
		7914	`* GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl`
		7915	`Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for`
		7916	`embedded brackets. Now allow`

		7932
		7933	`Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"`
		7934	`The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut`
		7935	`to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by`
		7936	`other components.`
		7937

		7965	`to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for`
		7966	`production.`
		7967
		7968	`* MOS toolset`

		7977
		7978	`* New utility - jats_save_build.pl`
		7979	`This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to`
		7980	`capture the modified build files back into the version control`
		7981	`system.`

		7990	`The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.`
		7991	`The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not`
		7992	`named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.`

		8069	`corrected.`
		8070
		8071	`* JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate`

		8155
		8156	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if`
		8157	`the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to`
		8158	`the build command, will prevent this behaviour.`
		8159
		8160
		8161	`Minor changes:`
		8162	`* create_dpkg utility`

		8183
		8184	`Minor changes:`
		8185	`* "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow`
		8186	`builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.`
		8187
		8188	`The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.`
		8189
		8190	`* Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		8191	`GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles`
		8192	`to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.`
		8193
		8194	`The change allows the construct`
		8195	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS`
		8196	`to be replaced by the simpler`
		8197	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS`

		8244
		8245	`* GCC toolset`
		8246	`Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not`

		8248
		8249	`* jats "label"`

		8334	`PDB - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).`
		8335
		8336	`These options operation affect all components within the`

		8359	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8360	`Version: JATS_2.13.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		8361	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8362	`Major changes:`
		8363	`* Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged`
		8364	`the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The`
		8365	`implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can`
		8366	`"installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.`
		8367	`The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as`
		8368	`this is the order in which the libraries will be created and`
		8369	`installed.`
		8370
		8371	`This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared`
		8372	`libraries that depend on each other.`
		8373
		8374	`This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not`
		8375	`generate separate stub libraries to link against.`
		8376
		8377	`Minor changes:`
		8378	`* WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets`
		8379	`Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files`
		8380	`in the "local" and "interface" directory.`
		8381
		8382	`* The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the`
		8383	`first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a`
		8384	`"src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation`
		8385	`of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.`
		8386
		8387	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8388	`Version: JATS_2.12.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		8389	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8390	`Major changes:`
		8391
		8392	`Minor changes:`
		8393	`* Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive`
		8394	`Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction`
		8395	`with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another`
		8396	`file.`
		8397
		8398	`* Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when`
		8399	`a soft link is used to redirect to the package.`
		8400
		8401	`* Win32 and WinCE toolsets`
		8402	`Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.`
		8403	`CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );`
		8404
		8405	`Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of`
		8406	`a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"`
		8407
		8408	`Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries`
		8409	`in the same manner at Shared Libraries.`
		8410
		8411	`* WinCE toolsets`
		8412	`Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve`
		8413	`compiler specific libraries.`
		8414
		8415	`* SOLARIS toolset`
		8416	`Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line`
		8417	`with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with`
		8418	`OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.`
		8419
		8420	`Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared`
		8421	`libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being`
		8422	`cleaned up.`
		8423
		8424	`* Microtec tools set (MOS)`
		8425	`Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args`
		8426
		8427	`* jats_rewriter.pl`
		8428	`Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments`
		8429	`with either " or ' characters.`

		8432	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8433	`Version: JATS_2.11.0 Released: 15-Mar-05`
		8434	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8435	`Major changes:`
		8436	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		8437	`The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area`
		8438	`The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform`
		8439	`specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories`
		8440
		8441	`Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process`
		8442	`of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.`
		8443
		8444	`* Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the`
		8445	`user.`
		8446
		8447	`* MOS Microtec Toolset`
		8448	`Always present an absolute filename to the compiler`
		8449	`Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress`
		8450
		8451	`This will remove error messages about the path being too long`
		8452	`for the -Gf option.`
		8453
		8454	`Minor changes:`
		8455	`* SOLARIS Toolset`
		8456	`Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line`
		8457
		8458	`* Win32 and WinCE Toolset`
		8459	`Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or`
		8460	`the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to`
		8461	`figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.`
		8462
		8463	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8464	`Version: JATS_2.10.0 Released: 11-Mar-05`
		8465	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8466	`Major changes:`
		8467	`* Extended BuildName to accept the form`
		8468	`BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );`
		8469
		8470	`* MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.`
		8471	`Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and`
		8472	`data addresses for the board.`
		8473
		8474	`BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );`
		8475
		8476	`Will set the code,data address for the debugable image`
		8477
		8478	`* Extended the PackageXxxxx options`
		8479	`1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy`
		8480	`Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the`
		8481	`"platform" name. Only useful within the context of the`
		8482	`PackageFile`
		8483
		8484	`2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile`
		8485	`directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the`
		8486	`platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a`
		8487	`suffix. In practice this is the logical use.`
		8488
		8489	`* Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been`
		8490	`discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files`
		8491	`to be installed and packaged.`
		8492
		8493	`Minor changes:`
		8494
		8495	`* cache_dpkg utility`
		8496	`If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache`
		8497	`entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.`
		8498
		8499	`* label utility`
		8500	`New option -auto to create and label`
		8501
		8502	`* Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files`
		8503	`This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names`
		8504
		8505	`* The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument`
		8506	`This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root`
		8507	`directory. ie:`
		8508
		8509	`BuildDirTree ( '', 'pkg' );`
		8510
		8511	`* Fixed DEVIM 00019520`
		8512	`The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to`
		8513	`the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.`
		8514
		8515
		8516	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8517	`Version: JATS_2.9.0 Released: 28-Feb-05`
		8518	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8519	`Major changes:`
		8520	`* First release for Back Office and Front Office use.`
		8521
		8522	`* Added the jats tool jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.`
		8523	`To be used by the nightly build process.`
		8524
		8525	`* Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.`
		8526	`The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the`
		8527	`compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete`
		8528	`the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.`
		8529
		8530	`The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's`
		8531	`interface directory and to remove all temp files before each`
		8532	`compilation.`
		8533
		8534	`This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.`
		8535
		8536	`Minor changes:`
		8537	`* The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if`
		8538	`one is being produced.`
		8539
		8540	`* Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"`
		8541	`option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better`
		8542	`job of cleaning the workspace.`
		8543
		8544	`* Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS`
		8545
		8546	`* Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive`
		8547
		8548	`* Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.`
		8549	`This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.`
		8550
		8551	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8552	`Version: JATS_2.8.0 Released: 17-Feb-05`
		8553	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8554	`Major changes:`
		8555	`* Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be`
		8556	`installed in order for the compilers to work.`
		8557
		8558	`* New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220`
		8559
		8560	`* All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile`
		8561	`This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the`
		8562	`same directory`
		8563
		8564	`* Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag`
		8565	`_DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the`
		8566	`documenattion.`
		8567
		8568	`Minor changes:`
		8569	`* Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings`
		8570	`Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match`
		8571
		8572	`* Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with`
		8573	`spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.`
		8574
		8575	`* Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.`
		8576	`Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB`
		8577
		8578	`* Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display`
		8579	`when the verbose option had not been selected`
		8580
		8581	`* Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files`
		8582	`would prevent the execution of the command. This command should`
		8583	`be exempt from this test.`
		8584
		8585	`* Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE`
		8586	`platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.`
		8587
		8588	`* The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build`
		8589	`clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.`
		8590
		8591	`Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be`
		8592	`removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"`
		8593	`does.`
		8594
		8595	`* The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will`
		8596	`not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.`
		8597
		8598
		8599	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8600	`Version: JATS_2.7.0 Released: 09-Feb-05`
		8601	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8602	`Major changes:`
		8603	`* First release with support for the DAFBR compiler`
		8604
		8605	`* Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:`
		8606	`--Interface - Pull lib from Interface directory`
		8607	`--Local - Pull lib from Local directory (default)`
		8608	`--SubDir=pathname - Pull lib from a subdirectory`
		8609	`Note: xxxx,pathname still works`
		8610
		8611	`* Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling`
		8612	`operations.`
		8613
		8614	`* Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.`
		8615
		8616	`* Added this manual ChangeLog file`
		8617
		8618	`Minor changes`
		8619	`* Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to`
		8620	`be run in a controlled environment from the command line.`
		8621
		8622	`* Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various`
		8623	`toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the`
		8624	`directory is not added to the library path.`
		8625
		8626	`Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will`
		8627	`not add the xxxx/lib to the path.`
		8628
		8629	`* cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.`
		8630	`The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search`
		8631	`first in an attempt to speed up the process.`
		8632
		8633	`* The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not`
		8634	`begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler`
		8635	`specific flags.`
		8636
		8637	`* The use of linker flags will issue a warning.`
		8638
		8639	`* Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been`
		8640	`determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions`
		8641	`such they are available to the common makefile.pl.`
		8642
		8643	`* Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify`
		8644	`a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of`
		8645	`JATS.`
		8646
		8647	`* Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that`
		8648	`caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.`
		8649
		8650	`* The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS`
		8651	`projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full`
		8652	`pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.`
		8653
		8654	`* The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to`
		8655	`the initial DLL or EXE.`
		8656
		8657	`* Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may`
		8658	`fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created`
		8659	`since the "generate" phase was not being run.`
		8660
		8661	`Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated`
		8662	`and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive`
		8663
		8664	`* JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.`
		8665
		8666	`* The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.`
		8667	`Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.`
		8668
		8669	`* Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if`
		8670	`the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's`
		8671	`objects.`
		8672
		8673	`* Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make`
		8674	`command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in`
		8675	`that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always`
		8676	`build defendants.`
