863
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
864
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
865
 
866
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
867
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
868
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
869
      build errors.
870
 
871
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
872
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
873
 
874
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
875
      Shorthand for
876
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
877
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
878
 
879
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
880
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
881
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
882
      Examples: 
883
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
884
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
885
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
886
 
887
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
888
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
889
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
890
 
891
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
892
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
893
      build system.
894
 
895

896
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
897
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
898
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

Version:  3.13.3000.cr                              Released: 13-Mar-17
903
------------------------------------------------------------------------
904
 
905
Minor changes:
906
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
907
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
908
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
909
 
910
------------------------------------------------------------------------
911
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
912
------------------------------------------------------------------------
913
 
914
Minor changes:
915
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
916
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
917
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
918
 
919
    * Build Files
920
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
921
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
922
 
923
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
924
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
925
 
926
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
927
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
928
 
929
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
930
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
931
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
932
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
933
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
934
 
935
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
936
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
937
     different architectures.
938
 
939
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
940
     are directed to one or more machines.
941
 
942
     Intended uses:
943
        Windows: Creating installers. 
944
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
945
 
946
       All: Specialized packaging.
947
 
948
    * Makefiles
949
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
950
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
951
      Eg:
952
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
953
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
954
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
955
      It could also have been written as:
956
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
957
      but NOT as:
958
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
959
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
960
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
961
 
962
    * Utility: sandbox
963
      Subcommand info 
964
        - Added option to test fingerprints

973
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
974
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
975
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
976
 
977
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
978
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
979
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
980
 
981
    * GenerateFiles directive
982
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
983

    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
1003
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
1004
 
1005
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1006
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1007
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1008
      machine may build the toolset.
1009
 
1010
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1011
      platform.

1032
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
1033
 
1034
    * Utility: escrow
1035
      Added -skim option
1036
 
1037
    * Utility: sandbox
1038
      Many improvements:
1039
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
1040
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1041
 
1042
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1043
 
1044
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
1045
        if an error is detected.
1046
 
1047
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
1048
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
1049
 
1050
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
1051
        skipped during the build.
1052
 
1053
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

1058
 
1059
Minor changes:
1060
    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
1061
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
1062
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1063
 
1064
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
1065
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

1178
      Centralized handling of filename escaping.
1179
 
1180
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
1181
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
1182
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.
1183
 
1184

2304
 
2305
Minor changes:
2306
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2307
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2308
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2309
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2310
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2311
 
2312
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2313
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

2322
      Added options:
2323
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2324
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2325
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2326
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2327
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2328
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2329
 
2330
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2331
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.

2339
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2340
Major changes:
2341
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2342
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2343
      intended to build deployed software.
2344
 
2345
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2346
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2347
 
2348
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2349
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2350
 
2351
Minor changes:
2352
    * Jats wrapper script
2353
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2354
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2355
      Subversion instance of the command.
2356
 
2357
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2358
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2359
 
2360
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2361
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2362
 
2363
    * Utility: jats upddep
2364
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2365
      file under windows.
2366
 
2367
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2368
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2369
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2370
 
2371
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2372
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2373
 
2374
    * GCC Toolchain
2375
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2391
Major changes:
2392
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2393
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2394
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2395
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2396
 
2397
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2398
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

3559 dpurdie 2407
 
2408
Minor changes:
2409
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2410
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2411
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2412
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2413
      line.
2414
 
2415
    * Jats Configuration
2416
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2417
 
2418
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2419
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2420
      and Linux.
2421
 
2422
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2423
      correctly rippled.

2430
Minor changes:
2431
    * Jats Core
2432
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2433
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2434
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2435
 
2436
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2437
      Used only by the build daemons.
2438
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2439
 
2440
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2441
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2442
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

2447
Major changes:
2448
 
2449
Minor changes:
2450
    * svnrelease utility
2451
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2452
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2453
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2454
 
2455
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2456
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2457
      the named tag.
2458
 
2459
    * svnrelease utility
2460
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2461
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2472
        covered by the makefile.
2473
 
2474
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2475
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2476
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2477
 
2478
    * ALL Toolsets
2479
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2480
 
2481
    * Utility vcsdiff
2482
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2483
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2484
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2494
      directory of the tag.
2495
 
2496
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2497
      repository.
2498
 
2499
    * Subversion Support
2500
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2501
      showing the user what to do.
2502
 
2503
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2504
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2505
      we have build support for this target.
2506
 
2507
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2508
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2509
 
2510
Internal:
2511
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2512
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2513
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2514
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Minor changes:
2531
    * Makefile generation
2532
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2533
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2534
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2535
      of warnings.
2536
 
2537
    * Makefile Generation
2538
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2547
Major changes:
2548
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2549
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2550
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2551
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2552
 
2553
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2554
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2555
      windows path scheme.
2556
 
2557
Minor changes:
2558
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2559
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2560
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2561
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2562
 
2563
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2564
        jats make clobber
2565
      This operates as before.
2566
 
2567
    * Utility: escrow
2568
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2569
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2570
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2571
 
2572
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2573
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2574
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2575
 
2576
    * Utility: svn : url
2577
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2578
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2579
 
2580
    * Utility: svn : import
2581
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2582
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2583
 
2584
    * Subversion Support
2585
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2586
      showing the user what to do.

2588
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2589
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2590
      repositories.

2596
Minor changes:
2597
    * Jats build
2598
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2599
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2600
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2601
 
2602
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2603
      command, with a sandbox.

2628
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2629
                        The named branch must not exist
2630
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2631
                        The named branch must exist
2632
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2666
 
2667
Major changes:
2668
    * Jats Version Number
2669
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

2688
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2689
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2690
 
2691
Minor changes:
2692
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2693
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2694
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2695
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2696
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2697
 
2698
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2699
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2700
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2701
 
2702
    * Linux support utilities
2703
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2704

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2710
Major changes:
2711
    * Subversion Repository location
2712
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
7323 dpurdie 2713
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1329 dpurdie 2714
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2715
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

2717
 
2718
Minor changes:
2719
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2720
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2721
 
2722
    * Utility: svnrelease
2723
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2724
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2725
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2726
 
2727
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2728
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2729
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2730
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2731
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2732
 
2733
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2734
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2735
 
2736
    * Utility: sandbox
2737
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2738
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2739
 
2740
      Subcommand: populate
2741
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2742
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2743
      sandbox.
2744
 
2745
    * Subversion Support
2746
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2747
      repository is not supported.
2748
 
2749
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2750
      a progress indication.
2751
 
2752
    * Jats Online Documentation
2753
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2754
      online documentation.
2755
 
2756
    * Generated makefiles
2757
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 2806
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2807
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
2808
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2809
 
2810
    * New Platform: VIXITP

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2834
Major changes:
2835
 
2836
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2837
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2838
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2839
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2840
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2841
 
2842
    * C# Toolchain
2843
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2855
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2856
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2857
 
2858
    * Utility ccrelease
2859
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2860
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2861
 
2862
    * Utility: svn
2863
      Improved package import processing.
2864
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

2892
Major changes:
2893
 
2894
Minor changes:
2895
    * Command: jats clobber
2896
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2897
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2898
 
2899
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2900
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2901
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2902
 
2903
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2904
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2905
 
377 dpurdie 2906
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2907
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2908
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2909
 
2910
    * jats svnlabel
2911
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2912
 
2913
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2914
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2915
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2916
 
2917
    * Built Daemon support
2918
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2919
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2920

2923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2924
Major changes:
2925
    * GCC Toolset
2926
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2927
      New methodology is:
2928
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2929
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2930
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2931
        as the main binary.
2932
 
2933
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2934
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2935
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2936
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2937
      both worlds.
2938
 
2939
Minor changes:
2940
    * HTML Documentation
2941
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2942
 
2943
Internal changes:
2944
    * Generated makefiles

2946
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2951
Major changes:
2952
    * Jats Sandbox
2953
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2954
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2955
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2956
 
2957
    * RIORDS Platform
2958
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
2959
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion

      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3072
 
3073
    * jats build -noforce
3074
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3075
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3076
      be forced.
3077
 
3078
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3079
 
3080
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3081
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3082
 
3083
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3084
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3085
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3086
 
3087
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3088
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3089
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3090
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3091

3093
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3094

3097
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.

3100
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3101
      installed and can be used.
3102
 
3103
    * Toolset: CSharp
3104
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3105
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3106
      character.
3107
 
3108
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3109
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3110
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3111
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3112
      masking an error.
3113
 
3114
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3115
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3116
      enhancement.

3124
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3125
 
3126
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3127
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3128
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3129
 
3130
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3131
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3132
      packages.
3133
 
3134
    * make command: show
3135
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3136
      'jats make show' command.
3137
 
3138
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3139
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3140
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.

      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
3367
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
3368
 
3369
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3370
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3371
      need toolset specific information.
3372
 
3373
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3374
 
3375
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
3376
 
3377
Internal:
3378
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
3379
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
3380
      processing into jats.pl
3381
 
3382
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
3383
      a ClearCase site.

3482
Minor changes:
3483
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
3484
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3485
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3486
      resulting in multiple builds.
3487
 
3488
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3489
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3490
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3491
 
3492
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3493
 
3494
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3495
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3496
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

3501
Major changes:
3502
 
3503
Minor changes:
3504
    * Jats label command
3505
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3506
      Not recommended for general use.
3507
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3508
      directories within the current view.
3509
 
3510
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3511
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3512
      elsewhere.
3513
 
3514
    * Jats save_build
3515
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3516
      the determination of a branch.
3517
 
3518
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3519
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3520
 
3521
    * Jats build
3522
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3523
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3524
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3525
 
3526
    * Borland6 toolset
3527
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3528
      to match the documented install location of:
3529
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3530
 
3531
    * Jats build
3532
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3533
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3534
      This is a very quick operation.
3535
 
3536
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3537
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3538
 
3539
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3540
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3541
      files are only recreated if need be.
3542
 
3543
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3544
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3545
      make the package.
3546
 
3547
    * Jats sandbox
3548
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3549
 
3550
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3551
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3552
 
3553
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3554
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3555
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3556
      is performed.
3557
 
3558
Internal:
3559
    * build.pl

Minor changes:
3595
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3596
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3597
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3598
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3599
 
3600
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3601
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3602
 
3603
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3604
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3605
      platform builds.
3606
 
3607
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3608
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3609
      directory tree.
3610
 
3611
    * New command: jats man

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3625
Major changes:
3626
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3627
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3628
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3629
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3630
 
3631
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3632
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3633
 
3634
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3635
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3636
 
3637
      Examples:
3638
            jats upddep -show
3639
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3640
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3641
 
3642
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3643
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3644
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3645
 
3646
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3647
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3648
 
3649
Minor changes:
3650
 
3651
Internal changes:
3652
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3658
Major changes:
3659
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3660
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3661
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3662
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3663
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3664
      stream.
3665
 
3666
      Example:
3667
 
3668
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3669
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3670
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3671
                     );
3672
Minor changes:
3673
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3674
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3675
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3676
      directive.
3677
 
3678
    * GCC Toolkit
3679
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3680
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3681
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3682
      the point of termination.
3683
 
3684
    * Jats save_build utility
3685
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3686
      under windows.
3687
 
3688
    * Jats sandbox
3689
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3690
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3691
      in different sandboxes.
3692
 
3693
    * Jats release
3694
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

      directory.
3706
 
3707
    * jats label utility
3708
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3709
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3710
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3711
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3712
 
3713
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3724
        noExceptions            - Disable
3725
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3726
      Example:
3727
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3728
 
3729
    * Solaris targets
3730
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3731
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3732
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3733
      machine type.

    * New Build Platform: VB6
3740
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3741
      project files.
3742
 
3743
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3744
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3745
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3746
 
3747
Minor changes:
3748
    * Added more internal documentation
3749
      Use jats help to see available documentation

3754
    * Jats save_build utility
3755
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3756
      under windows.
3757
 
3758
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3759
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3760
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3761
      libraries.
3762
 
3763
    * Solaris builds
3764
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3765
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3766
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3767
      of the build failure.
3768
 
3769
 
3770
Internal changes:
3771
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3772
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3773
 
3774
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3775
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
3779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3780
Major changes:
3781
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3782
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3783
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3784
      existing 32-bit builds.
3785
 
3786
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3787
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3788
 
3789
Minor changes:
3790
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3791
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3792
 
3793
    * Package searching
3794
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3795
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3796
 
3797
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3798
 
3799
    * jats help
3800
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3801
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3802
 
3803
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3804
      with one of:
3805
        jats -h
3806
        jats help jats
3807
 
3808
Internal:
3809
    * cmdfile utility
3810
      Added macros:
3811
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3812
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3813
 
3814
      Corrected
3815
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3816
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3817
 
3818
      Extended
3819
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3820
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3821
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3822
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Version:  2.80.4000.cr                               Released: 17-Dec-09
3826
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3827
Major changes:
3828
 
3829
Minor changes:
3830
 
3831
Internal changes
3832
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3833
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3834
      Useful side effects include:
3835
 
3836
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3837
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3838
 
3839
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3840
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3841
 
3842
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3843
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3844
        BuildPkgArchive
3845
 
313 dpurdie 3846
    * Perl Modules
3847
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3848
      release. This will:
3849
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3850
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3851
          reported by ERG.
3852
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3857
Major changes:
3858
 
3859
Minor changes:
3860
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3861
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3862
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3863
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3864
 
3865
    * Jats label utility
3866
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3867
 
3868
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3869
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3870
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3871
 
3872
    * Jats core
3873
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3874
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3875
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3884
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3885
      This is now fixed.
3886
 
309 dpurdie 3887
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3888
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3889
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3890
 
3891
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3892
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3900
    * Generating makefiles
3901
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3902
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3903
      an error.
3904
 
3905
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3906
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3907
 
3908
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3909
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3915
Major changes:
3916
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3917
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3918
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3919
 
3920
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3921
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3922
 
3923
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3924
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3925
      Support includes
3926
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3927
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3928
 
3929
Minor changes:
3930
    * Build file processing
3931
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3932
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3933
 
3934
    * MOS builds
3935
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3936
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3937
 
3938
    * MOS builds
3939
      New 'known' product: PICP
3940
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3941
 
3942
    * GenerateFiles directive
3943
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3944
        under windows.
3945
 
3946
        .
3947
 
3948
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3949
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3950
 
3951
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3952
      to the output stream.
3953
 
3954
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3955
 
3956
    * Windows Shell
3957
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3958
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3959
 
3960
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3961
 
3962
    * H8S toolset
3963
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3964
 
3965
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3966
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3967
 
3968
Internal changes
3969
    * WinCe builds
3970
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3971
      content of the file.
3972
 
3973
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3974
 
3975
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3976
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

Major changes:
3989
 
3990
Minor changes:
3991
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3992
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3993
      Changes are transparent to users.
3994
 
3995
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3996
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3997
      this occurs.
3998
 
3999
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4000
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4001
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4002
      automated build framework.
4003
 
4004
    * jats sandbox command
4005
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4006
      'create' command.
4007
 
4008
    * jats command aliases. Added
4009
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4010
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4015
Major changes:
4016
    * Jats Command line and -java option
4017
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
4018
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
4019
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
4020
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
4021
      will work as expected
4022
 
4023
Minor changes:
4024
    * VS2008 Toolset
4025
      Picking up incorrect config details
4026
      May result in a warning message.
4027
 
4028
    * gen_cots utility
4029
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
4030
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
4031
 
4032
    * DELPHI7 toolset
4033
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4081
Major changes:
4082
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4083
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4084
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4085
 
4086
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4087
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4088
 
4089
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4090
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4091
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4092
           names cannot be changed.
4093
 
4094
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4095
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4096
 
4097
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4098
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4099
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4100
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4101
 
4102
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4103
      file.
4104
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4105
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4106
      MyPackage.dpk.
4107
 
4108
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4109
      file.
4110
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4111
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4112
      MyDll.dpr.
4113
 
4114
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4115
      file.
4116
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4117
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4118
      MyProg.dpr.
4119
 
4120
Minor changes:
4121
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4122
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4123
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4124
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4125
 
4126
    * BuildVersion directive
4127
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4128
      in a Delphi Unit.
4129
 
4130
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4131
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4132
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4133
      'know' the location of the files.
4134
 
4135
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4136
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4137
 
4138
Internal Changes:
4139
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4140
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4141
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4142
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4143
 
4144
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4145
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4146
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

4150
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4151
Major changes:
4152
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4153
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4154
      information for purely C++ builds.
4155
 
289 dpurdie 4156
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4157
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4158
 
289 dpurdie 4159
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4160
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4161
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4162
 
4163
Minor changes:
4164
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

4166
 
4167
    * updatenodespec utility
4168
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4169

4206
    * New command: jats make show
4207
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4208
      used in the build.
4209
 
4210
    * Escrow command
4211
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4212
 
4213
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4214
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4215
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4216
 
4217
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4218
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

277 dpurdie 4222
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4223
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4224
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4225
 
279 dpurdie 4226
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4227
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4228
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4229
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4230
 
4231
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4232
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4233
 
4234
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4235
 
4236
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4237
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4238
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4239
 
4240
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4241
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4242
        processed.
4243
 
4244
      Removed the '-delete' option
4245
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4246
 
277 dpurdie 4247
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4248
    * Sandbox command
4249
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4250
 
4251
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4252
      target from consideration in the build set.
4253
 
4254
    * MCR Toolset
4255
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4256
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4257
 
4258
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4259
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4260
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4261
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4262
 
4263
    * Jats run_test command
4264
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4265
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4266
 
4267
    * descpkg file
4268
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4269
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4270
 
4271
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4272
     Now contains build trace information
4273
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4274
 
4275
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4276
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4277
     it contains 'jar' files.
4278
 
4279
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4280
 
4281
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4282
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4283
 
4284
   * BuildVersion directive
4285
     Form:
4286
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4287
     now works as expected.
4288
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4289
 
4290
Internal Changes:
4291
 
4292
    * Error reporting mechanism
4293
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4294
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4295
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

4307
    then starts.
4308
 
4309
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4310
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4311
 
4312
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4313
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4314
    non-platform option.
4315
 
279 dpurdie 4316
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4480
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4481
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4482
 
4483
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
4484
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
4485
      compatibility.
4486
 
4487

4491
            --InstallProg=list
4492
 
4493
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
4494
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
4495
      GenerateCab.
4496
 
4497

4538
    * Windows utilities  [DEVI-051360]
4539
      Added rpccpp to assist in the creation of rcpgen based modules under
4540
      windows.
4541
 
4542
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolsets
4543
      Made used of rpccpp. These platforms can now support the creation
4544
      of XDR based modules.
4545
 
4546
    * Jats GenerateFiles directive
4547
      New option '--PreDelete' will delete all generated files before
4548
      the generator process is run. This may be used in cases where the
4549
      generator process does not operate if the output files already exist,
4550
      such as the rpcgen utility.
4551
 
4552
    * Jats MakeAnt directive
4553
      Correct problem where unit_tests could not be run.

      Merged files that exist in the target archive are now compared
4562
      against the local file. A difference is considered to be an error.
4563
 
4564
Internal Changes:
4565
    * Resolved issues with JatsEnv modules that make it difficult to include
4566
      the modules in other modules. This is now a package
4567
 
4568
    * JatsSystem Module
4569
      Resolved issues when 'shell' is used to invoke a 'system' command.
4570
      Now quote the command string being passed to the shell.
4571
 
4572
      Resolved issues with JatsCmd
4573
      Now takes an array of arguments.
4574
 
4575
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
4576
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
4577
      programs.
4578
 
4579
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
4580
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

4628
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
4629
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
4630
      time.
4631
 
4632
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4633
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

4646
 
4647
Internal Changes:
4648
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
4649
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4650
      Previously was being done at two places
4651
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4652
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4653
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4654
 
4655
    * JATS make: Command line
4656
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4657

4665
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4666
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4667
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4668

4691
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4692
 
4693
    * FileUtils package.
4694
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
4695
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.

4712
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
4713
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
4714
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4715
 
4716
Minor changes:
4717
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4718
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
4719

4726
Major changes:
4727
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
4728
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4729
 
4730
      New platforms:
4731
        CSHARP2005
4732
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4733
         Support extends to allow:
4734
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4735
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4736
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4737
 
4738
        VS2005
4739
         Support extends to allow:
4740
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4741
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4742
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4743
 
4744
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4745
      through a version selector:
4746
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4747
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4748
 
4749
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4750
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4751
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4752
 
4753
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4754
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4755
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4756
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4757
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4758
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4759
          under VS2005.
4760
 
4761
Minor changes:
4762
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

4765
 
4766
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4767
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4768
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4769
 
4770
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4771
 
4772
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4773
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4774
 
4775
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4776
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4777
      a minimal value of perl.
4778
 
4779
      Removed excessive require statements.
4780
 
4781
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4782
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4783
      Include JATS specific files for
4784
        1) Windows
4785
        2) Linux
4786
 
4787
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4788
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4789
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4790
      machines.
4791
 
4792
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4793
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4794
 
4795

      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4797
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4798
 
4799
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4800
      wrapper scripts.
4801
 
4802
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4803
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4804
      Spell check help and code.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4857
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4858
  * New toolset and platform
4859
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4860
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4861
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4862
    this platform.
4863
 
4864
Minor changes:
4865
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4866
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4867
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4868
    work.
4869
 
4870
  * Jats utility: release
4871
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4872
    published to dpkg_archive.
4873
 
249 dpurdie 4874
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4875
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4876
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4877
    supported for ANT builds.
4878
 
4879
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4880
        releasemanager.releasename
4881
        releasemanager.projectname
4882
 
4883
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4884
    tagged data item of the form
4885
 
4886
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4887
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4888
 
4889
  * Mug File Generation
4890
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4891
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4892
 
4893
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4894
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4895
    required.
4896
 
4897
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4898
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4899
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4900
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4901
    the files in order to use them.
4902
 
4903
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4904
    locate the file.
4905
 
4906
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4907
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4908
 
4909
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4910
        * CSharp
4911
        * Properties
4912
        * WinRC
4913
 
4914
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4915
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4916
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4917
    Value is correctly assigned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4922
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4923
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4924
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4925
 
4926
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4927
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4928
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4929
 
4930
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4931
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4932
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4933
 
4934
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4935
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4936
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4937
 
4938
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4939
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4940
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4941
    correct.
4942
 
4943
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4944
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4945
 
4946
Minor changes:
4947
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4948
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4949
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4950
 
4951
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4952
    This will simplify new user setup.
4953
 
4954
  * All Unix Toolsets
4955
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4956
    on unix systems
4957
 
4958
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4959
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4960
    on some Solaris Machines.
4961
 
4962
  * JATS -version=<version>
4963
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4964
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4965

      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
4973
 
4974
Minor changes:
4975
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
4976
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
4977
 
4978
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
4979
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets

4981
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
4982
      Does not work with LMOS
4983
 
4984
    * Readme.txt file
4985
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
4986
 
4987
    * Misc Cleanup
4988
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
5008
 
5009
  * JATS builds
5010
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
5011
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
5012
    mode.
5013
 
5014
  * JATS makefiles
5015
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
5016
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
5017
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
5018
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
5019
                            SetList directive.
5020

5029
 
5030
  * JATS buildfile processing
5031
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
5032
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
5033
    of JATS.
5034
 
5035
  * JATS save_build utility
5036
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
5037
    which may be reserved.

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
5065
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
5066
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
5067
 
5068
    * MOS Toolset
5069
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
5070
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
5071
 
5072
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
5073
      can have production (PIC) components.
5074

      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
5083
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
5084
      Previously only worked on Windows

    * Extract/Release utility.
5119
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
5120
      that can handle spaces
5121
 
5122
    * MOS Compiler
5123
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
5124
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5125
 
5126
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5127
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5128
      descpkg files to be copied.
5129
 
5130
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
5131
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
5132
 
5133
    * JATS ANT command
5134
      Better selection of the ant build file
5135
 
5136

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 5146
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
5147
 
5148
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
5149
      <project> field.
5150
 
5151

5164
 
5165
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5166
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5167
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5168
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5169
 
5170
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5171
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5172
 
5173
    * Jats wrapper
5174
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5175
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5180
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5181
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5182
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5183
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5184
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5185
 
5186
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5187
 
5188
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5189
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5190
 
5191
    * Running Jats
5192
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5193
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5194
      This may affect some windows developers.
5195
 
5196
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5197
      Future versions will generate an error.
5198
 
5199
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5200
 
5201
Minor changes:
5202
    * Perl Version Check
5203
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5204
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5205
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5206
 
5207
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5208
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5209
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5210
      build.
5211
 
5212
    * Jats Internals
5213
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5214
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5215
 
5216
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5217
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5218
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5219
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5220
      process.
5221
 
5222
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5223
      Only works under Windows.
5224
 
5225
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5226
 
5227
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5228
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5229
 
5230
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5231
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5232
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5233
 
5234
    * Jats eprog
5235
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5236
      directory.
5237
 
5238
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5239
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5240
      build metrics.
5241
 
5242

5244
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5245
Major changes:
5246
 
5247
Minor changes:
5248
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5249
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5250
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5251
      automated build system. New options are:
5252
        -pname=Package_Name
5253
        -pversion=Package_Version
5254
 
5255
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5256
      transferring the package. New options are:
5257
        -test
5258
 
5259
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5260
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5261
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5262
 
5263
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5264
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5265
 
5266
    * Solaris Toolset
5267
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5268
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5269
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5274
Major changes:
5275
 
5276
Minor changes:
5277
    * WINCE toolsets
5278
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5279
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5280
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5281
      when header files cannot be found.
5282
 
5283
    * GenerateFiles directive
5284
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5285
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5286
      that are difficult to solve.
5287
 
5288
    * MakePerlModule directive
5289
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5290
      to the the module builder.
5291
 
5292
    * Jats Tool: label
5293
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5294
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5295
      -dirs=xxx options.
5296
 
5297
    * Jats Tool: release
5298
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5299
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5300
 
5301
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5302
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5303
 
5304
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5305
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5306
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5307
 
5308
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5355
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5356
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the

5364
Minor changes:
5365
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5366
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5367
 
5368
    * Makefile generation
5369
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5370
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5371
 
5372
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5373
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5374
 
5375
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5376
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5377

5380
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5381
 
5382
    * jats escrow utility
5383
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5384
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5385
 
5386
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5387
      inconsistent packages.
5388
 
5389
    * jats make help
5390
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5391
      available within the current build.
5392
 
5393
    * jats makefiles
5394
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5395
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5396
 
5397
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5398
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5399
 
5400
    * gcc toolset
5401
      SharedLibries.
5402
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5403
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5404
 
5405
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5406
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5407
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5408
 
5409
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5410
        New options:
5411
            --MultiScan
5412
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5413
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5414
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5422
Minor changes:
5423
    PackageLib directive
5424
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5425
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5426
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5427
 
5428
    MakefileGenerate directive
5429
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5430
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5431
 
5432
    Multiple Parent detection
5433
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5434
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5435
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5436
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5437
 
5438
    Solaris Toolset
5439
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5440
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5441
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5442
    link.
5443
 
5444
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5445
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5446
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5447
 
5448
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5449
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5450
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5451
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5456
Major changes:
5457
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5458
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5459
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5460
 
5461
    Summary of changes:
5462
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5463
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5464
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5465
          flexibility.
5466
 
5467
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5468
 
5469
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5470
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5471
          interface directory and associated build information.
5472
 
5473
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5474
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5475
          than one second.
5476
 
5477
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5478
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5479
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5480
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5481
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5482
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5483
 
5484
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5485
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5486
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5487
 
5488
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5489
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5490
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5491
          building them.
5492
 
5493
        - Detection of build file changes
5494
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5495
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5496
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5497
 
5498
        - Quieter make output
5499
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5500
 
5501
 
5502
Minor changes:
5503
    MakeAnt Directive
5504
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5505
 
5506
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5507
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5508
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5509
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5510
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5511
 
5512
    CSHARP toolset
5513
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5514

5523
 
5524
    MakeAnt
5525
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5526
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5527
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5528
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5529

    New option: --PackageBase
5542
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5543
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5544
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5545
 
5546
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5547
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5548
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5549
        package image being created.

5569
 
5570
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5571
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5572
 
5573
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5574
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5575
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5576
 
5577
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5578
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5579
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5609
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5610
 
5611
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5612
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5613
      last.
5614
 
5615
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5616
 
5617
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5618
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5619
 
5620
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5621
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5622
 
5623
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5624
 
5625
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5626
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5627
 
5628
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5629
 
5630
 
5631
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5632

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5656
Major changes:
5657
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5658
 
5659
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5660
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5661
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5662
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5663
      path.
5664
 
5665
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5666
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5667
      reproducible.
5668
 
5669
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5670
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5671
 
5672
      There are several aspects to the change
5673
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5674
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5675
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5676
 
5677
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5678
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5679
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5680
          controlled separately.
5681
 
5682
Minor changes:
5683
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5684
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5685
        Remove duplicates
5686
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5687

Minor changes:

    * Makefile sanity test
5695
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5696
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5697
 
5698
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5699
      x86 machine.
5700
 
5701
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5702
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory

5706
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5707
Major changes:
5708
    * RunTest directive
5709
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5710
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5711
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5712
 
5713
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5714
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5715
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5716
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5717
 
5718
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5719
        builder within the current toolset.
5720
 
5721
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5722
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5723
 
5724
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5725
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5726
      containing the RunTest directive.
5727
 
5728
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5729
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5730
 
5731
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5732
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5733
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5734
 
5735
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5736
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5737
                            P or D suffix.
5738
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5739
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5740
 
5741
Minor changes:
5742
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5743
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5744
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5745
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5746
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5747
 
5748
    * Save Build Utility
5749
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5750
      used in a ripple build.
5751
 
5752
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5753
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5754
 
5755
    * Release Utility
5756
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5757
      when an error is encountered.
5758
 
5759
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5760
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5761
 
5762
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5763
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5764
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5765
 
5766
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5767
      before the makefiles are created.
5768
 
5769
    * TestProg directive
5770
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5771
 
5772
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5773
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5774

Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
5777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5778
Major changes:
5779
    * New build target
5780
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5781
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5782
 
5783
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5784
            DEVLINUX
5785
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5786
 
5787
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5788
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5789
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5790
 
5791
Minor changes:
5792
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5793
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5794
 
5795
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5796
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5797
 
5798
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5799
      and .cs files.
5800
 
5801
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5802
      thing.
5803
 
5804
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5805
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5806
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5807
      were it places temp files.
5808
 
5809
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5810
      interaction with other builds.
5811
 
5812
    * Release utility command
5813
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5814
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5815
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5865
Minor changes:
5866
  * WINCE Support
5867
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5868
 
5869
  * Removed the following targets
5870
        TP5600
5871
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5872
        TP5600_EMU
5873
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5874
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5875
 
5876
  * Deployment
5877
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5878
 
5879
  * build.pl
5880
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5881
 
5882
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5883
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5884
 
5885
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5886
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5887
    build.
5888
 
5889
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5890
 
5891
  * Tool: escrow
5892
     New features
5893
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5894
     are not in the SBOM.
5895
 
5896
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5897
 
5898
     Specify packages to be ignored.

5902
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5903
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5904
Major changes:
5905
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5906
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5907
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5908
 
5909
  * GenerateFiles
5910
    Added the options:
5911
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5912
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5913
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5914
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5915
 
5916
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5917
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5918
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5919
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5920
                                  required.
5921
 
5922
 
5923
Minor changes:
5924
  * GenerateFile directive
5925
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5926
 
5927
  * GCC Toolset
5928
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5929
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5930
    be rebuilt.
5931
 
5932
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5933
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5934
 
5935
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5936
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5937
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5938
Major changes:
5939
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5940
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5941
    environment variables.
5942
 
5943
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5944
            moved.
5945
 
5946
    This will affect users that:
5947
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5948
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5949
 
5950
        2) Use the ABT system
5951
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5952
           the required configuration
5953
 
5954
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5955
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5956
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5957
    Windows
5958
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5959
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5960
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5961
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5962
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5963
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5964
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5965
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5966
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5967
 
5968
 
5969
  * New build platforms
5970
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5971
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5972
 
5973
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5974
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5975
 
5976
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5977
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5978
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5979
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5980
 
5981
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5982
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5983
    release.
5984
 
5985
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5986
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5987
 
5988
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5989
    need to be converted.
5990
 
5991
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5992
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5993
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5994
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5995
    used for different targets platforms.
5996
 
5997
  * Sandbox support
5998
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5999
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
6000
 
6001
    New command: jats sandbox ...

6008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6009
Major changes:
6010
  * MakeAnt directive
6011
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
6012
 
6013
    New options
6014
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
6015
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6016
 
6017
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6018
    run_unit_tests phase.
6019
 
6020
  * Sandbox support
6021
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6022
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6023
 
6024
Minor changes:
6025
  * jats build
6026
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6027
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6028
 
6029
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6030
 
6031
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6032
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6033
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6034
 
6035
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6036
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6037
 
6038
  * JATS.BAT
6039
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6040
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6041
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6042
 
6043
  * jats label
6044
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6045
 
6046
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6047
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6048
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6049
Major changes:
6050
  * New build platform:
6051
        LMOS_TP5600
6052
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6053
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6054
 
6055
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6056
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6057
    describe the group of platforms.
6058
 
6059
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6060
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6061
    build these targets.
6062
 
6063
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6064
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6065
 
6066
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6067
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6068
 
6069
  * New build platform: WINCE
6070
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6071
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6072
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6073
 
6074
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6075
            WCEIT3000
6076
            WCEPA961
6077
            WCEPA962

6086
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6087
 
6088
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6089
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6090
    that contain packaging directives.
6091
 
6092
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6093
    very unusual configurations.
6094
 
6095
Minor changes:
6096
  * Directive: PackageFile
6097
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6098
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6099
    an '='.
6100
 
6101
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6102
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6103
 
6104
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6105
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6106
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6107
 
6108
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6109
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6110

6112
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6113
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6114
Major changes:
6115
 
6116
  * JATS release command
6117
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6118
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6119
 
6120
    Rules are:
6121
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6122
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6123
                            File will be placed on a branch
6124
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6125
                            New directory will branch
6126
 
6127
Minor changes:
6128
  * JATS release command
6129
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6130
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6131
 
6132
  * JATS label command
6133
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6134
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6135
 
6136
  * JATS make
6137
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6138
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6139
    was re-packaged.
6140
 
6141
  * JATS escrow
6142
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6143
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6144
 
6145
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6146
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6147
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6148
 
6149
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6150
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6151
    interface directory.
6152
 
6153
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6154
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6155
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6156
    directory as seen by the package.
6157
 
6158
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6159
 
6160
  * JAVA 6
6161
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6162
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6163
 
6164
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6165
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6166
 
6167
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6168
 
6169
  * Jats command: vars
6170
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6171
    These indicate potential problems.
6172
 
6173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6174
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6176
Major changes:
6177
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6178
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6179
    libarry is also created.
6180
 
6181
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6182
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6183
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6184
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6185
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6186
    information contained within the file.
6187
 
6188
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6189
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6190
 
6191
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6192
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6193
 
6194
  * Building Perl Modules
6195
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6196
    documentation on the build machine.
6197
 
6198
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6199
 
6200
Minor changes:
6201
  * jats create_dpkg
6202
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6203
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6204
 
6205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6206
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6208
Major changes:
6209
  * JATS JAVA build target
6210
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6211
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6212
 
6213
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6214
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6215
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6216
    is then picked up as the default version.
6217
 
6218
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6219
    build.pl file.
6220
 
6221
Minor changes:
6222
  * jats release
6223
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6224
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6225
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6226
 
6227
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6228
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6229
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6230
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6231
    the name of the view.
6232
 
6233
  * GenerateFiles directive
6234
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6235
 
6236
  * MOS Toolset
6237
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6238
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6239
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6240
 
6241
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6242
 
6243
 
6244
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6245
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6246
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6247
Major changes:
6248
 
6249
Minor changes:
6250
  * JATS environment
6251
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6252
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6253
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6254
 
6255
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6256
 
6257
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6258
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6259
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6260
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6261
    to be packaged.
6262
 
6263
  * Generated makefiles
6264
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6265
 
6266
  * Generating MOS THX files
6267
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6268
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6269
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6270
 
6271
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6272
 
6273
  * JATS release
6274
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6275
 
6276
  * JATS extract
6277
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6278
 
6279
  * JATS Toolset
6280
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6281
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6282
 
6283
 
6284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6285
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6287
Major changes:
6288
 
6289
Minor changes:
6290
  * jats label
6291
    Added a -vob=name option
6292
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6293
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6294
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6295
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6296
 
6297
    Added a -user=name option
6298
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6299
    label to the named user.
6300
 
6301
  * jats release
6302
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6303
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6304
 
6305
  * JATS build.pl
6306
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6307
    ie:
6308
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6309

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6312
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6313
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6314
Major changes:
6315
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6316
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6317
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6318
    the makefile internals. ie:
6319
        --Var(BuildName)
6320
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6321
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6322
 
6323
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6324
 
6325
  * GenerateFiles
6326
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6327
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6328
 
6329
  * BuildPlatforms
6330
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6331
 
6332
Minor changes:
6333
  * GCC Toolset
6334
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6335
 
6336
Internal changes:
6337
  * GenerateFiles
6338
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6339
 
6340
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6341
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6342
 
6343
 
6344
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6345
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6346
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6347
Major changes:
6348
  * Caching JATS
6349
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6350
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6351
 
6352
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6353
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6354
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6355
 
6356
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6357
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6358
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6359
 
6360
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6361
 
6362
Minor changes:
6363
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6364
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6365
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6366
 
6367
  * jats build
6368
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6369
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6370
    processed by the build.
6371
 
6372
  * jats build
6373
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6374
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6375
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6376
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6377
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6378
 
6379
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6380
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6381
    Path is not specified.
6382
 
6383
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6384
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6385
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6386
        --Dir=$Pinc
6387
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6388
 
6389
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6390
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6391
    Windows platform.
6392
 
6393
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6394
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6395
            by 'purecov.
6396
 
6397
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6398
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6399
 
6400
        - OPTIONS=purify
6401
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6402
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6403
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6404

6407
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6409
Major changes:
6410
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6411
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6412
    Example:
6413
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6414
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6415
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6416
 
6417
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6418
    been determined.
6419
 
6420
Minor changes:
6421
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6422
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6423
    located at build-time.
6424
 
6425
  * Unix based systems
6426
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6427
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6428
 
6429
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6430
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6431
    driver being built.
6432
 
6433
 
6434
------------------------------------------------------------------------

6439
 
6440
Minor changes:
6441
  * jats_rewrite tool
6442
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6443
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6444
 
6445
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6446
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6447
 
6448
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6449
    dependancy information within a package.
6450
 
6451
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6452
    messages.
6453
 
6454
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6455
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
6456
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6457
Major changes:
6458
  * makefile.pl directives
6459
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
6460
 
6461
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6462
 
6463
    GenerateFiles.
6464
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6465
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6466
                      be run on every invocation.
6467
 
6468
 
6469
Minor changes:
6470
  * Added the jats version command
6471
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6472
 
6473
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6474
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6475
  There are two mechanism:
6476
 
6477
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6478
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6479
 
6480
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6481
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6482
 
6483
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6484
  default.
6485
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6486
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6487

    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6494
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6495
    It is based on machine type.
6496
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6497
 
6498
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6499
 
6500
Minor changes:
6501
  * Perl DBI interface
6502
    Removed the message showing database connection
6503
 
6504
  * JATS internal library
6505
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
6506
 
6507

6508
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
6509
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6510
Major changes:
6511
  * GCC Toolset
6512
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6513
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6514
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6515
 
6516
  * Added platforms
6517
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6518
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6519
    TP5600_EMU
6520
 
6521
Minor changes:
6522
  * descpkg file reader
6523
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6524
    field separator.
6525
 
6526
  * JATS eprog command
6527
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6528
 
6529
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6530
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6531
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6532
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6533
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6534
 
6535
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6536
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6537
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6538
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6539
 
6540
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6541
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
6542

6553
 
6554
 
6555
Minor changes:
6556
  * JATS wrapper script
6557
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6558
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6559
    to setup links to system programs.
6560

Major changes:
6580
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6581
    Added CompileOptions
6582
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6583
        no_misalign         - Default
6584
 
6585
        multithread         - Default
6586
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking

  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6589
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6590
 
6591

        debug_debuginfo
6600
 
6601
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6602
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6603
    Theses are:
6604
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6605
        SOLARIS_AMD
6606
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6607
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6608
 
6609
Minor changes:
6610
  * AT3232 toolset
6611
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

6620
Major changes:
6621
 
6622
Minor changes:
6623
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6624
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6625
    messages
6626
 
6627
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6628
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6629
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6630
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6631
 
6632
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6633
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6635
Major changes:
6636
 
6637
Minor changes:
6638
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6639
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6640
    library without creating the body of the library:
6641
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6642
 
6643
 
6644
  * MOS toolsets
6645
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6646
    library without creating the body of the library:
6647
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6648
 
6649
  * JATS BIN directories
6650
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6651
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6652
    using autoconf.
6653
 
6654
  * Generate directive
6655
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6656
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6657
 
6658
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6659
 
6660
 
6661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6662
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6663
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6664
Major changes:
6665
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6666
    Initial release.
6667
 
6668
Minor changes:
6669
 
6670
 
6671
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6672
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6674
Major changes:
6675
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6676
    Initial release.
6677
 
6678
  * Packaging directives
6679
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6680
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6681
 
6682
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6683
        SOLARIS
6684
        WIN32
6685
 
6686
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6687
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6688
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6689
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6690
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6691
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6692
 
6693
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6694
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6695
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6696
 
6697
 
6698
Minor changes:
6699
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6700
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6701
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6702
 
6703
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6704
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6705
    location
6706
 
6707
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6708
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6709
 
6710
  * Utility genrc
6711
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6712
 
6713
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6714
    Added option: -new
6715
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6716
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6717
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6718
 
6719
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6720
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6721
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6722
 
6723
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6724
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6725
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6726
 
6727
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6728
   features - in a uniform manner.
6729
 
6730
 
6731
Internal Changes:
6732
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6733
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6734
 
6735
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6736
        1) Platform information available at build time
6737
        2) Dynamic platform names
6738
 
6739
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6740
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6741
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6742
 
6743
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6744
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6745
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6746
 
6747
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6748
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6749
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6750
    needed.
6751
 
6752
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6753
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6754
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6755
    files from all of these.
6756

6758
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

6760
Major changes:
6761
 
6762
Minor changes:
6763
  * WinCE toolset
6764
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6765
 
6766
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6767
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6768
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6769
Major changes:
6770
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6771
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6772
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6773
 
6774
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6775
 
6776
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6777
    the operations.
6778
 
6779
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6780
 
6781
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6782
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6783
 
6784
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6785
 
6786
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6787
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6788
 
6789
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6790
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6791
    Extended the built-in help
6792
    Added useful error messages
6793
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6794
 
6795
  * WinCE toolset
6796
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6797
 
6798
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6799
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6800
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6801
 
6802
Minor changes:
6803
  * JATS wrapper script
6804
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6805
    the command line.
6806
 
6807
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6808
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6809
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6810
 
6811
Internal Changes:
6812
  * Common Error Reporting
6813
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6814
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6815
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6816
    level.
6817
 
6818
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6819
    displayed.
6820
 
6821
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6822
 
6823
  * Added JatsSystem module
6824
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6825
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6826
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

Major changes:
6829
 
6830
Minor changes:
6831
  * BR Compiler toolset
6832
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6833
    .def files to include other files.
6834
 
6835
  * IAR toolset
6836
    Added AT7272 support
6837
 
6838
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6839
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6840
 
6841
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6842
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6844
Major changes:
6845
 
6846
Minor changes:
6847
  * BR Compiler toolset
6848
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6849
    use.
6850
 
6851
 
6852
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6853
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6854
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6855
Major changes:
6856
 
6857
Minor changes:
6858
  * Mictotec toolset
6859
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6860
    builds.
6861
 
6862
  * JATS Core
6863
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6864
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6865
    behaviour.
6866
 
6867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6868
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6869
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6870
Major changes:
6871
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6872
    Deployment package will be affected.
6873
 
6874
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6875
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6876
 
6877
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6878
 
6879
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6880
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6881
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6882
    packages.
6883
 
6884
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6885
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6886
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6887
 
6888
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6889
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6890
 
6891
Minor changes:
6892
  * SubDir directive
6893
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6894
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6895
 
6896
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6897
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6898
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6899
    of the file usage.
6900
 
6901
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6902
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6903
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6904
 
6905
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6906
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6907
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6908
 
6909
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6910
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6911
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6912
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6913
 
6914
 
6915
Internal Changes:
6916
  * Code refactor
6917
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6918
 
6919
  * Deployment utilities
6920
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6921
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6922
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6923
    the module can locate the file.
6924
 
6925
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6926
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6927
 
6928
  * JATS core
6929
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6930
 
6931
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6932
 
6933
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6934
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6935
    through the use of environment variables.
6936
 
6937
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6938
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6939
 
6940
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6941
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6942
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6943
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6944
 
6945
  * Make environment
6946
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6947
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6948
 
6949

6951
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6952
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6953
Major changes:
6954
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6955
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6956
 
6957
 
6958
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6959
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6960
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6961
 
6962
Not Released.
6963
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6964
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6965
 
6966
 
6967
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6968
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6969
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6970
Major changes:
6971
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6972
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6973
    radically replaced.
6974
 
6975
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6976
    Usage:
6977
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6978
 
6979
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6980
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6981
    this solution:
6982
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6983
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6984
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6985
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6986
 
6987
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6988
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6989
    order to work.
6990
 
6991
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6992
    reduced functionality.
6993
 
6994
 
6995
Minor changes:
6996
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6997
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6998
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6999
 
7000
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
7001
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
7002
    within the makefiles.
7003
        Options:
7004
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
7005
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
7006
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
7007
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
7008
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
7009
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
7010
        Useage:
7011
 
7012
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
7013
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
7014
 
7015
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7016
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7017
    is not in the current directory.
7018
 
7019
  * Jats Command: ant'
7020
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7021
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7022
 
7023
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7024
 
7025
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7026
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7027
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7028
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7029
 
7030
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7031
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7032
    Thus
7033
 
7034
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7035
 
7036
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7037
 
7038
 
7039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7040
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7041
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7042
Major changes:
7043
 
7044
Minor changes:
7045
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7046
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7047
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7048
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7049
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7050
 
7051
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7052
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7053
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7054
 
7055
Internal changes:
7056
  * JATS toolsets
7057
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7058
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7059
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7060
 
7061
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7062
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7063
 
7064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7065
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7067
Major changes:
7068
  * Jats command: etool
7069
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7070
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7071
 
7072
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7073
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7074
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7075
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7076
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7077
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7078
 
7079
Minor changes:
7080
 
7081
 
7082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7083
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7084
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7085
Major changes:
7086
  * JATS environment variables
7087
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7088
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7089
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7090
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7091
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7092
 
7093
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7094
              Remote repository
7095
 
7096
    Added GBE_DPLY
7097
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7098
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7099
 
7100
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7101
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7102
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7103
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7104
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7105
 
7106
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7107
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7108
 
7109
 
7110
Minor changes:
7111
  * JATS utility: build
7112
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7113
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7114
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7115
 
7116
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7117
    Ensure label is not locked
7118
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7119
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7120
 
7121
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7122
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7123
    to a specific type of build.
7124
 
7125
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7126
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7127
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7128
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7129
 
7130
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7131
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7132
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7133
 
7134
  * JATS utility: release
7135
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7136
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7137
 
7138
  * JATS utility: label
7139
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7140
    when it is being created.
7141
 
7142
Internal Changes
7143
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7144
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7145
 
7146
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7147
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7148
 
7149
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7150
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7151
    different results.
7152
 
7153
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7154
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7155
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7156
 
7157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7158
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7160
Major changes:
7161
 
7162
  * MCR toolset
7163
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7164
 
7165
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7166
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7167
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7168
Major changes:
7169
  * WIN32 utilities
7170
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7171
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7172
 
7173
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7174
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7175
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7176
 
7177
Minor changes:
7178
  * BuildVersion
7179
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7180
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7181
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7182
 
7183
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7184
 
7185
  * Unix Builds
7186
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7187
    library or a shared library.
7188
 
7189
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7190
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7191
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7192
    start with 'lib'.
7193
 
7194
  * BuildPkgArchive
7195
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7196
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7197
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7198
 
7199
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7200
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7201
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7202
Major changes:
7203
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7204
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7205
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7206
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7207
    being manually maintained.
7208
 
7209
 
7210
Minor changes:
7211
  * MakeAnt directive
7212
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7213
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7214
    supports ANT builds.
7215
 
7216
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7217
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7218
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7219
 
7220
  * Label utility
7221
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7222
    files to be labeled.
7223
 
7224
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7225
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7226
    on Solaris.
7227
 
7228
  * Generated makefiles
7229
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7230
    nothing.
7231
 
7232
  * MOS Toolset
7233
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7234
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7235
    modules.
7236
 
7237
  * Utility: gen_cots
7238
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7239
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7240
 
7241
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7242
 
7243
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7244
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7245
 
7246
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7247
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7248
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7249
Major changes:
7250
  None
7251
 
7252
Minor changes:
7253
  * DEVI addressed
7254
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7255
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7256
 
7257
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7258
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7259
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7260
 
7261
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7262
 
7263
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7264
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7265
 
7266
  * RunTest directive
7267
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7268
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7269
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7270
 
7271
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7272
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7273
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7274
    packaged under JATS
7275
 
7276
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7277
          supported within JATS.
7278
 
7279
  * Jats utility wrapper
7280
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7281
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7282
 
7283
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7284
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7285
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7286
 
7287
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7288
    Eg: jats ant
7289
 
7290
  * Jats utility wrapper
7291
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7292
 
5710 dpurdie 7293
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7294
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7295
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7296
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7297
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7298
 
5710 dpurdie 7299
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7300
    expect a build.pl file.
7301
 
7302
  * Jats utility wrapper
7303
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7304
 
7305
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7306
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7307
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7308
 
7309
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7310
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7311
 
7312
  * Build files
7313
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7314
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7315

7318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7319
Major changes:
7320
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7321
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7322
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7323
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7324
 
7325
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7326
 
7327
Minor changes:
7328
  * None
7329
 
7330
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7331
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7332
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7333
Major changes:
7334
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7335
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7336
    ie:
7337
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7338
 
7339
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7340
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7341
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7342
    environments are compatible.
7343
 
7344
 
7345
Minor changes:
7346
  * BuildName option
7347
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7348
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7349
 
7350
  * jats.bat
7351
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7352
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7353
 
7354
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7355
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7356
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7357
Major changes:
7358
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7359
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7360
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7361
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7362
 
7363
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7364
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7365
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7366
 
7367
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7368
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7369
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7370
 
7371
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7372
    transferred.
7373
 
7374
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7375
    See notes below.
7376
 
7377
  * WIN32 toolset
7378
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7379
    correctly.
7380
 
7381
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7382
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7383
 
7384
  * BuildVersion
7385
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7386
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7387
    other langauges as needed.
7388
 
7389
 
7390
Minor changes:
7391
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7392
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7393
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7394
    version strings.
7395
 
7396
  * GenerateFiles directive
7397
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7398
    package or an imported package.
7399
 
7400
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7401
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7402
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7403
 
7404
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7405
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7406
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7407
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7408
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7409
 
7410
Internal Changes
7411
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7412
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7413
    of utilities.
7414
 
7415
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7416
    functions.
7417
 
7418
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7419
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7420
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7421
Major changes:
7422
  * Generated makefiles
7423
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7424
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7425
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7426
 
7427
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7428
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7429
    incorrectly processing:
7430
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7431
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7432
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7433
    confused.
7434
 
7435
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7436
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7437
    The construct
7438
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7439
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7440
    then it works.
7441
 
7442
  * MakeAnt directive
7443
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7444
 
7445
    This option has the following effects
7446
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7447
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7448
 
7449
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7450
           early - in the generated files phase.
7451
 
7452
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7453
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7454
 
7455
 
7456
Minor changes:
7457
  * JATS post-installation script
7458
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7459
 
7460
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7461
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7462
    windows.
7463
 
7464
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7465
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7466
 
7467
  * Jats wrapper script
7468
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7469
        1) Contain spaces
7470
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7471
 
7472
  * Toolset
7473
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7474
 
7475
  * JAVA toolset
7476
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7477
    directive:
7478
 
7479
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7480
 
7481
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7482
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7483
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7484
 
7485
  * GCC Toolset
7486
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7487
 
7488
  * Makefile generation
7489
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7490
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7491
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7492
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7493
    package could not be used.
7494
 
7495
  * Unit Tests
7496
    The following environment variables are set:
7497
 
7498
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7499
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7500
 
7501
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7502
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7503
 
7504
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7505
 
7506
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7507
 
7508
 
7509
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7510
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7512
Major changes:
7513
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7514
 
7515
    Special features of this toolset.
7516
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7517
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7518
       incorporated within the target image.
7519
 
7520
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7521
       --Set=Name=Value
7522
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7523
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7524
 
7525
       --Ref=name
7526
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7527
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7528
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7529
                will be taken from the build version number.
7530
 
7531
Minor changes:
7532
  * MOS Toolset
7533
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7534
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7535
    packaged.
7536
 
7537
  * Src directive
7538
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7539
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7540
    specifier.
7541
 
7542
  * WIN32 runtime support
7543
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7544
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7545
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7546
 
7547
Internal:
7548
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7549
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7550
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7551
 
7552
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7553
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7554
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7555
Major changes:
7556
    * BuildAlias directive
7557
      Added options.
7558
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7559
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7560
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7561
                          targets.
7562
      Eg:
7563
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7564
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7565
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7566
 
7567
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7568
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7569
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7570
 
7571
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7572
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7573
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7574
 
7575
 
7576
Minor changes:
7577
  * Label utility
7578
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7579
    build.pl file
7580
 
7581
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7582
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7583
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7584
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7585
    --FilterIn option.
7586
 
7587
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7588
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7589
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7590
 
7591
  * Location of descpkg file
7592
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7593
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7594
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7595
 
7596
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7597
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7599
Major changes:
7600
  * RunTest directive
7601
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7602
    Additional options
7603
      --CopyIn=file
7604
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7605
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7606
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7607
        the test area.
7608
 
7609
    Additional operations
7610
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7611
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7612
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7613
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7614
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7615
    Allows flags:
7616
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7617
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7618
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7619
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7620
 
7621
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7622
    existence is tested.
7623
 
7624
  * Packaging Directives
7625
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7626
    such as LMOS.
7627
 
7628
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7629
 
7630
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7631
 
7632
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7633
 
7634
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7635
 
7636
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7637
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7638
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7639
 
7640
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7641
 
7642
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7643
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7644
 
7645
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7646
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7647
 
7648
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7649
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7650
 
7651
Minor changes:
7652
  * Script directive
7653
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7654
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7655
 
7656
  * JATS environment
7657
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7658
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7659
    the JATS wrapper script.
7660
 
7661
  * Label utility
7662
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7663
    There are three modes of operation:
7664
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7665
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7666
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7667
 
7668

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7670
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7671
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7672
Major changes:
7673
 
7674
Minor changes:
7675
  * label utility
7676
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7677
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7678
 
7679
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7680
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7681
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7682
      --ProgLoader=name
7683
 
7684
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7685
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7686
    Options to do this are:
7687
        --TreeDir=name
7688
        --FilterOut=regexp
7689
        --FilterIn=regexp
7690
        --StripDir
7691
 
7692
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7693
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7694
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7695
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7696
 
7697
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7698
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7699
 
7700
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7701
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7702
 
7703
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7704
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7705
 
7706
 
7707
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7708
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7709
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7710
Major changes:
7711
    * Make commands
7712
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7713
 
7714
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7715
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7716
 
7717
    * Label utility
7718
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7719
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7720
 
7721
Minor changes:
7722
    * Toolsets
7723
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7724
      variables and overrides.
7725
 
7726
      The make_init target is always run.
7727
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7728
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7729
 
7730
    * Deployment
7731
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7732
      with deployment operations.
7733
 
7734
    * Release utility
7735
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7736
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7737
      restricted by options within the build.
7738
 
7739
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7740
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7741
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7742
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7743
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7744
 
7745
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7746
      directives.
7747
 
7748
    * MakeProject directive
7749
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7750
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7751
 
7752
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7753
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7754
      is preserved.
7755
 
7756
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7757
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7758
      statements.
7759
 
7760
    * Mugfile generation
7761
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7762
      be placed in the target package.
7763
 
7764
 
7765
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7766
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7767
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7768
Major changes:
7769
    * BuildVersion directive
7770
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7771
      number as well as a patch number.
7772
 
7773
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7774
      number.
7775
 
7776
Minor changes:
7777
    * AddFlags directives
7778
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7779
      duplicate flags being added.
7780
 
7781
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7782
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7783
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7784
 
7785
    * Mug File Generation
7786
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7787
 
7788
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7789
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7790
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7791
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7792
     directory.
7793
 
7794
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7795
     reproducible.
7796
 
7797
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7798
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7799
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7800
Major changes:
7801
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7802
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7803
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7804
      longer a list of directories.
7805
 
7806
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7807
      done within the toolset.
7808
 
7809
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7810
 
7811
    * JATS environment variables
7812
      Redefined variable
7813
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7814
                          Previously was a list that included the
7815
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7816
 
7817
      New variable
7818
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7819
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7820
 
7821
 
7822
Minor changes:
7823
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7824
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7825
      target platforms to be extracted.
7826
 
7827
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7828
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7829
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7830
 
7831
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7832
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7833
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7834
 
7835
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7836
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7837
 
7838
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7839
      Support ANT based XML files
7840
 
7841
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7842
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7843
      structure.
7844
 
7845
    * makefile.pl's
7846
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7847
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7848
 
7849
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7850
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7851
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7852
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7853
 
7854
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7855
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7856
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7857
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7858
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7859
      -- Auto.
7860
 
7861
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7862
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7863
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7864
 
7865
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7866
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7867
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7868
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7869
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7870
 
7871
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7872
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7873
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7874
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7875
      installed on the machine.
7876
 
7877
    * WINCE Targets
7878
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7879
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7880
 
7881
 
7882
 
7883
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7884
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7885
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7886
Major changes:
7887
    * WIN32 platforms
7888
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7889
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7890
      and installed packages.
7891
 
7892
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7893
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7894
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7895
 
7896
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7897
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7898
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7899
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7900
      searched when looking for libraries.
7901
 
7902
Minor changes:
7903
    * GenerateFiles directive
7904
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7905
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7906
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7907
                          and drive letter
7908
 
7909
    * Src directive
7910
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7911
      directory of a package.
7912
 
7913
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7914
 
7915
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7916
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7917
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7918
 
7919
    * jats_rewrite utility
7920
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7921
 
7922
 
7923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7924
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7925
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7926
Major changes:
7927
    * SunWorks production builds
7928
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7929
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7930
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7931
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7932
      compiler documentation.
7933
 
7934
    * MOS Toolset
7935
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7936
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7937
 
7938
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7939
 
7940
Minor changes:
7941
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7942
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7943
      This should not affect current users.
7944
 
7945
    * Mugfile generation
7946
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7947
      specified.
7948
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7949
 
7950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7951
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7952
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7953
Major changes:
7954
    MOS Toolset
7955
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7956
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7957
 
7958
Minor changes:
7959
    * Jats wrapper script
7960
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7961
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7962
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7963
 
7964
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7965
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7966
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7967
      may be suspect.
7968
 
7969
    * GenerateFiles directive
7970
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7971
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7972
 
7973
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7974
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7975
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7976
Major changes:
7977
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7978
      build.xml files.
7979
 
7980
Minor changes:
7981
    * WIN32 toolset.
7982
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7983
 
7984
    * MakeAnt
7985
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7986
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7987
 
7988
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7989
 
7990
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7991
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7992
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7993
 
7994
    * MakeAnt directive
7995
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7996
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7997
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7998
 
7999
      Recommended usage:
8000
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8001
 
8002
Internal Changes
8003
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
8004

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
8008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8009
Major changes:
8010
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8011
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8012
      files packaged into the release.
8013
 
8014
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
8018
 
8019
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8020
      The recommended platform is:
8021
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8022
 
8023
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8024
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8025
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8026
      components.
8027

8032
 
8033
Minor changes:
8034
    * Support for Windows DLLs
8035
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
8036
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
8037
      by the package to be accessed.
8038
 
8039
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
8040
      application or visual studio.
8041
 
8042
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
8043
      and the JATS Core path.
8044
 
8045
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
8046
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
8047
      directive or if no directories where specified.
8048
 
8049
    * MOS Toolset
8050
      Add support for the TPT device
8051
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
8052
 
8053
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
8054
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
8055
 
8056
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8057
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8058
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8059
 
8060
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8061
 
8062
Internal Changes
8063
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
8064
      in jats.pl
8065
 
8066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8067
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
8068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8069
Major changes:
8070
    * JATS wrapper script
8071
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
8072
 
8073
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8074
 
8075
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8076
 
8077
Minor changes:
8078
    * Deployment support
8079
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8080
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8081
 
8082
    * 'build'
8083
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8084
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8085
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8086
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8087
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8088
 
8089
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8090
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8091
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8092
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8093
                                      the link phase.
8094
 
8095
    * BuildPkgArchive
8096
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8097
      Previously these were ignored.
8098
      Minor code cleanup
8099
 
8100
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8101
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8102
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8103
 
8104
    * SOLARIS targets
8105
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8106
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8107
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8108
 
8109
    * MugFile generation
8110
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8111
      included in the final package.
8112
 
8113
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8114
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8115
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8116
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8117
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8118
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8119
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8120
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8121
 
8122
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8123
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8124
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8125
            --Option=(some_text)
8126
            --Option=[some_text]
8127
            --Option={some_text}
8128
 
8129
Internal Changes
8130
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8131
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8132
      code.
8133

8135
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8136
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8137
Major changes:
8138
    * JATS wrapper script
8139
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8140
 
8141
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8142
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8143
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8144
      other components.
8145
 
8146
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8147
 
8148
    * JATS
8149
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8150
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8151
 
8152
    * Build operations
8153
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8154
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8155
      packages.
8156
 
8157
    * Make operations
8158
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8159
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8160
 
8161
Minor changes:
8162
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8163
      deployment builds.
8164
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8165
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8166
 
8167
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8168
 
8169
    * build.pl
8170
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8171
        processed. Allows
8172
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8173
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8174
        production.
8175
 
8176
    * MOS toolset
8177
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8178
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8179
 
8180
    * create_dpkg utility
8181
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8182
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8183
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8184
      progress of the build.
8185
 
8186
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8187
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8188
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8189
      system.
8190
 
8191

8192
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8193
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8194
Major changes:
8195
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8196
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8197
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8198
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8199
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8200
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8201
 
8202
    * WCEX86A500 target
8203
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8204
 
8205
    * MOS Toolsets
8206
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8207
      the compiler.
8208
 
8209
    * RunTest directive
8210
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8211
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8212
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8213
 
8214
Minor changes:
8215
    * JATS BUILD
8216
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8217
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8218
      highlight bad settings.
8219
 
8220
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8221
      access to extensions.
8222
 
8223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8224
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8226
Major changes:
8227
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8228
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8229
 
8230
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8231
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8232
      under unix.
8233
 
8234
Minor changes:
8235
    * label utility
8236
      Added options to:
8237
        o Delete a label
8238
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8239
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8240
 
8241
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8242
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8243
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8244
      Package directives.
8245
 
8246
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8247
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8248
      system.
8249
 
8250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8251
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8252
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8253
Major changes:
8254
    * MOS Toolset
8255
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8256
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8257
 
8258
    * WIN32 Toolset
8259
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8260
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8261
      list.
8262
 
8263
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8264
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8265
 
8266
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8267
 
8268
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8269
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8270
 
8271
 
8272
Minor changes:
8273
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8274
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8275
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8276
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8277
      corrected.
8278
 
8279
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8280
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8281
 
8282
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8283
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8284
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8285
 
8286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8287
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8288
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8289
Major changes:
8290
    * WIN32 Toolset
8291
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8292
      use with multithreaded modes.
8293
 
8294
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8295
      --OnlyProd.
8296
 
8297
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8298
      within the makefile.pl.
8299
 
8300
Minor changes:
8301
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8302
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8303
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8304
      platforms.
8305
 
8306
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8307
 
8308

8309
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8310
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8311
Major changes:
8312
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8313
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8314
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8315
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8316
 
8317
    * Preliminary Support
8318
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8319
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8320
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8321
 
8322
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8323
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8324
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8325
 
8326
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8327
      building. The default build will build both.
8328
 
8329
Minor changes:
8330
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8331
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8332
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8333
 
8334
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8335
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8336
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8337
 
8338
 
8339
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8340
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8341
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8342
Major changes:
8343
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8344
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8345
      or all.
8346
 
8347
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8348
      the library or program.
8349
 
8350
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8351
 
8352
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8353
      library or any debug files.
8354
 
8355
    * GenerateFiles
8356
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8357
 
8358
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8359
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8360
 
8361
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8362
              The filename of the prereq file
8363
 
8364
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8365
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8366
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8367
 
8368
 
8369
Minor changes:
8370
    * create_dpkg utility
8371
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8372
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8373
      the package has been altered.
8374

8378
Major changes:
8379
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8380
      This is a WINCE target
8381
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8382
 
8383
    * New toolset
8384
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8385
 
8386
    * Modified toolset
8387
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8388
 
8389
    * Modified toolset
8390
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8391
 
8392
Minor changes:
8393
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8394
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8395
 
8396
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8397
 
8398
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8399
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8400
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8401
 
8402
      The change allows the construct
8403
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8404
      to be replaced by the simpler
8405
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8406
 
8407
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8408
      specified name.    
8409

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8429
Major changes:
8430
    * The "package.pl" file.
8431
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8432
      package name being taken from the build name
8433
 
8434
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8435
      package Build Name.
8436
 
8437
Minor changes:
8438
    * create_dpkg utility

    * Dependancy generator
8448
      Correct two common situations
8449
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8450
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8451
           ansi, but is often done.
8452
 
8453
    * GCC toolset
8454
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8455
      being created in the correct place.
8456
 
8457
    * jats "label"
8458
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8459
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8460
 
8461
 
8462
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8465
Major changes:
8466
 
8467
Minor changes:
8468
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8469
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8470
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8471
 
8472
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8473
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8474
 
8475
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8476
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8477

8482
Major changes:
8483
    * Support for solaris_i386
8484
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8485
      binaries for this target.
8486
 
8487
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8488
      with the GCC compiler.
8489
 
8490
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8491
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8492
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8493
 
8494
Minor changes:
8495
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8496
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8497
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8498
 
8499
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8500
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8505
Major changes:
8506
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8507
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8508
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8509
 
8510
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8511
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8512
 
8513
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8514
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8515
      with either " or ' characters.
8516
 
8517
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8518

8524
 
8525
    * Jats wrapper
8526
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8527
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8528
      further commands.
8529
 
8530
Minor changes:
8531
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8532
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8533
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8534
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8535
 
8536
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8537
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8538
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8539
Major changes:
8540
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8541
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8542
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8543
 
8544
      These options operation affect all components within the
8545
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8546
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8547
 
8548
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8549
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8550
 
8551
Minor changes:
8552
 
8553
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8554
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8555
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8556
Major changes:
8557
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8558
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8559
 
8560
Minor changes:
8561
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8562
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8563
 
8564
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8565
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8566
 
8567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8568
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8569
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8570
Major changes:
8571
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8572
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8573
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8574
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8575
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8576
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8577
      installed.
8578
 
8579
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8580
      libraries that depend on each other.
8581
 
8582
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8583
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8584
 
8585
Minor changes:
8586
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8587
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8588
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8589
 
8590
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8591
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8592
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8593
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8594
 
8595
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8596
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8597
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8598
Major changes:
8599
 
8600
Minor changes:
8601
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8602
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8603
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8604
      file.
8605
 
8606
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8607
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8608
 
8609
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8610
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8611
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8612
 
8613
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8614
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8615
 
8616
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8617
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8618
 
8619
    * WinCE toolsets
8620
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8621
      compiler specific libraries.
8622
 
8623
    * SOLARIS toolset
8624
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8625
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8626
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8627
 
8628
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8629
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8630
      cleaned up.
8631
 
8632
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8633
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8634
 
8635
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8636
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8637
      with either " or ' characters.
8638
 
8639
 
8640
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8641
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8642
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8643
Major changes:
8644
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8645
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8646
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8647
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8648
 
8649
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8650
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8651
 
8652
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8653
      user.
8654
 
8655
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8656
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8657
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8658
 
8659
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8660
      for the   -Gf option.
8661
 
8662
Minor changes:
8663
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8664
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8665
 
8666
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8667
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8668
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8669
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8670
 
8671
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8672
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8673
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8674
Major changes:
8675
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8676
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8677
 
8678
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8679
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8680
      data addresses for the board.
8681
 
8682
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8683
 
8684
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8685
 
8686
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8687
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8688
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8689
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8690
         PackageFile
8691
 
8692
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8693
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8694
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8695
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8696
 
8697
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8698
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8699
      to be installed and packaged.
8700
 
8701
Minor changes:
8702
 
8703
    * cache_dpkg utility
8704
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8705
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8706
 
8707
    * label utility
8708
      New option -auto to create and label
8709
 
8710
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8711
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8712
 
8713
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8714
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8715
      directory. ie:
8716
 
8717
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8718
 
8719
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8720
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8721
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8722
 
8723
 
8724
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8725
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8726
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8727
Major changes:
8728
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8729
 
8730
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8731
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8732
 
8733
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8734
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8735
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8736
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8737
 
8738
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8739
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8740
      compilation.
8741
 
8742
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8743
 
8744
Minor changes:
8745
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8746
      one is being produced.
8747
 
8748
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8749
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8750
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8751
 
8752
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8753
 
8754
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8755
 
8756
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8757
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8758
 
8759
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8760
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8761
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8762
Major changes:
8763
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8764
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8765
 
8766
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8767
 
8768
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8769
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8770
      same directory
8771
 
8772
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8773
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8774
      documenattion.
8775
 
8776
Minor changes:
8777
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8778
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8779
 
8780
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8781
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8782
 
8783
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8784
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8785
 
8786
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8787
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8788
 
8789
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8790
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8791
      be exempt from this test.
8792
 
8793
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8794
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8795
 
8796
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8797
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8798
 
8799
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8800
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8801
      does.
8802
 
8803
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8804
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8805
 
8806
 
8807
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8808
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8809
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8810
Major changes:
8811
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8812
 
8813
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8814
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8815
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8816
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8817
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8818
 
8819
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8820
      operations.
8821
 
8822
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8823
 
8824
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8825
 
8826
Minor changes
8827
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8828
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8829
 
8830
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8831
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8832
      directory is not added to the library path.
8833
 
8834
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8835
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8836
 
8837
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8838
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8839
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8840
 
8841
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8842
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8843
      specific flags.
8844
 
8845
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8846
 
8847
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8848
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8849
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8850
 
8851
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8852
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8853
      JATS.
8854
 
8855
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8856
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8857
 
8858
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8859
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8860
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8861
 
8862
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8863
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8864
 
8865
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8866
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8867
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8868
 
8869
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8870
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8871
 
8872
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8873
 
8874
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8875
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8876
 
8877
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8878
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8879
      objects.
8880
 
8881
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8882
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8883
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8884
      build defendants.
