      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
380
 
381
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
382
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
383
      duplicates corrected.
384
 
385
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
386
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
387
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
388
 
389
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
390
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
391
      displayed at the end of the build process.

581
 
4688 dpurdie 582
    * EnvVars
583
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
584
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
585
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
586
 
587
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
588
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
589
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled

      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
591
 
592
    * Jats caching
593
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
594
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
620
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
621
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
622
 
623
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
624
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
625
 
626
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
627
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
628
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
629
 
630
    * Jats Internal: Database access

815
      This has been added to support auperaunx01 as a general developer machine

Major changes:
916
 
917
Minor changes:
918
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
919
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
920
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
921
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
922
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
923
 
924
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
925
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

      Added options:
935
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
936
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
937
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
938
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
939
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
940
      Report filter elements that are not used.
941
 
942
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
943
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
944
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.

Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
951
------------------------------------------------------------------------
952
Major changes:
953
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
954
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
955
      intended to build deployed software.
956
 
957
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
958
      the DEVLINUX alias.
959
 
960
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
961
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
962
 
963
Minor changes:
964
    * Jats wrapper script
965
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
966
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
967
      Subversion instance of the command.
968
 
969
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
970
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
971
 
972
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
973
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
974
 
975
    * Utility: jats upddep
976
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
977
      file under windows.
978
 
979
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
980
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
981
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
982
 
983
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
984
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
985
 
986
    * GCC Toolchain
987
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1003
Major changes:
1004
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1005
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1006
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1007
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1008
 
1009
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1010
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1018
      family
3559 dpurdie 1019
 
1020
Minor changes:
1021
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1022
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1023
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1024
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1025
      line.
1026
 
1027
    * Jats Configuration
1028
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1029
 
1030
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1031
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1032
      and Linux.
1033
 
1034
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1035
      correctly rippled.

Minor changes:
1043
    * Jats Core
1044
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1045
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1046
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1047
 
1048
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1049
      Used only by the build daemons.
1050
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1051
 
1052
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1053
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
1054
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1059
Major changes:
1060
 
1061
Minor changes:
1062
    * svnrelease utility
1063
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1064
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1065
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1066
 
1067
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1068
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1069
      the named tag.
1070
 
1071
    * svnrelease utility
1072
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1073
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

1090
    * ALL Toolsets
1091
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1092
 
1093
    * Utility vcsdiff
1094
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1095

    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1116
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1117
      we have build support for this target.
1118
 
1119
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1120
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.

1139
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1140
Major changes:
1141
 
1142
Minor changes:
1143
    * Makefile generation
1144
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1145
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1146
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1147
      of warnings.
1148
 
1149
    * Makefile Generation
1150
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
1151

2429 dpurdie 1158
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1159
Major changes:
1160
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1161
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1162
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1163
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1164
 
1165
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1166
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1167
      windows path scheme.
1168
 
1169
Minor changes:
1170
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1171
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1172
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1173
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1174
 
1175
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1176
        jats make clobber
1177
      This operates as before.
1178
 
1179
    * Utility: escrow
1180
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1181
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1182
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1183
 
1184
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1185
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1186
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1187
 
1188
    * Utility: svn : url
1189
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1190
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1191
 
1192
    * Utility: svn : import
1193
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1194
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1195
 
1196
    * Subversion Support
1197
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1198
      showing the user what to do.
1199
 
1200
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1201
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1202
      repositories.

1207
 
1208
Minor changes:
1209
    * Jats build
1210
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1211
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1212
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1213
 
1214
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1215
      command, with a sandbox.

1227
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
1228
                 Can also display available branches.
1229
 
2054 dpurdie 1230

1236
 
1237
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1238
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1239
      Modified two options:
1240
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1241
                        The named branch must not exist
1242
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1243
                        The named branch must exist
1244
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
1254
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
1255

1278
 
1279
Major changes:
1280
    * Jats Version Number
1281
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
1283
      significantly.

1299
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
1300
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
1301
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1302
 
1303
Minor changes:
1304
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
1305
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
1306
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
1307
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
1308
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
1309
 
1310
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1311
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
1312
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
1313
 
1314
    * Linux support utilities
1315
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format

1325
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
1326
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
1327
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

1330
Minor changes:
1331
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
1332
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
1333
 
1334
    * Utility: svnrelease
1335
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
1336
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
1337
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
1338
 
1339
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1340
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
1341
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
1342
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
1343
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1344
 
1345
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
1346
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
1347

1350
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
1351
 
1352
      Subcommand: populate
1353
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
1354
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
1355
      sandbox.
1356
 
1357
    * Subversion Support
1358
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
1359
      repository is not supported.
1360
 
1361
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
1362
      a progress indication.
1363
 
1364
    * Jats Online Documentation
1365
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
1366
      online documentation.

1448
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
1449
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
1450
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
1451
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
1452
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1504
Major changes:
1505
 
1506
Minor changes:
1507
    * Command: jats clobber
1508
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
1509
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
1510
 
1511
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
1512
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
1513
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
1514
 
1515
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
1516
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
1517
 
377 dpurdie 1518
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
1519
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
1520
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 1521
 
1522
    * jats svnlabel
1523
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
1524
 
1525
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
1526
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
1527
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
1528
 
1529
    * Built Daemon support
1530
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
1531
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
1532

Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
1535
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1536
Major changes:
1537
    * GCC Toolset
1538
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
1539
      New methodology is:
1540
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
1541
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
1542
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
1543
        as the main binary.
1544
 
1545
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
1546
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
1547
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
1548
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
1549
      both worlds.
1550
 
1551
Minor changes:
1552
    * HTML Documentation
1553
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
1554

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1563
Major changes:
1564
    * Jats Sandbox
1565
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
1566
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
1567
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
1568
 
1569
    * RIORDS Platform
1570

1594
 
1595
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1596
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
1597
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
1598
      a vob.
1599

1682
    * HTML Help
1683
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
1684
 
1685
    * jats build -noforce
1686
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
1687
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
1688
      be forced.
1689
 
1690
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
1691
 
1692
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
1693
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
1694
 
1695
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
1696
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
1697
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
1698
 
1699
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
1700
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
1701
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
1702
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
1703
 
1704
    * Utility: svnrelease
1705
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
1706
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
1707
 
1708
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
1709
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
1710
 
1711
    * Utility: svn
1712
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
1713
      installed and can be used.
1714
 
1715
    * Toolset: CSharp
1716
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
1717
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
1718
      character.
1719
 
1720
    * Toolset: SunWorks
1721
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
1722
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
1723
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
1724
      masking an error.
1725
 
1726
    * Toolset: Delphi7
1727
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
1728
      enhancement.

1730
    * Toolset: dafbr
1731
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing

1734
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
1735
        - Return correct path to package
1736
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
1737
 
1738
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
1739
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
1740
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
1741
 
1742
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
1743
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
1744
      packages.
1745
 
1746
    * make command: show
1747
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
1748
      'jats make show' command.
1749
 
1750
    * Utility: create_dpkg
1751
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
1752
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
1753
 
1754
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
1755
      executed on Unix machines.

1791
 
1792
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
1793
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
1794
 
1795
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
1796
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
1797
      developers.

1819
      in a package archive.
1820
 
1821
      Sub command: create
1822

      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
1824
      package version.
1825
 
1826
      Command specific help
1827

      resulting in multiple builds.
2099
 
2100
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets

    * Jats label command
2117
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2118
      Not recommended for general use.
2119
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2120
      directories within the current view.
2121
 
2122
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2123
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2124
      elsewhere.
2125
 
2126
    * Jats save_build
2127
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2128
      the determination of a branch.
2129
 
2130
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2131
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2132
 
2133
    * Jats build
2134
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2135
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2136
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2137
 
2138
    * Borland6 toolset
2139
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2140
      to match the documented install location of:
2141
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2142
 
2143
    * Jats build
2144
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2145
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2146
      This is a very quick operation.
2147
 
2148
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2149
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2150
 
2151
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2152
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2153
      files are only recreated if need be.
2154
 
2155
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2156
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2157
      make the package.
2158
 
2159
    * Jats sandbox
2160
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2161
 
2162
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2163
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2164
 
2165
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2166
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2167
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2168
      is performed.
2169
 
2170

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2208
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2209
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2210
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2211
 
2212
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2213
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2214
 
2215
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2216
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2217
      platform builds.
2218
 
2219

2220
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2221
      directory tree.
2222

2237
Major changes:
2238
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2239
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2240
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2241
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2242
 
2243
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2244
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2245
 
2246
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2247
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2248
 
2249
      Examples:
2250
            jats upddep -show
2251
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2252
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2253
 
2254
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2255
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2256
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2257
 
2258
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2259
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2270
Major changes:
2271
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2272
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2273
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2274
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2275
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2276
      stream.
2277
 
2278
      Example:
2279
 
2280
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2281
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2282
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2283
                     );
2284
Minor changes:
2285
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2286
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2287
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2288
      directive.
2289
 
2290
    * GCC Toolkit
2291
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2292
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2293
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2294
      the point of termination.
2295
 
2296
    * Jats save_build utility
2297
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2298
      under windows.
2299
 
2300
    * Jats sandbox
2301
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2302
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2303
      in different sandboxes.
2304
 
2305
    * Jats release
2306
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2311
Major changes:
2312
 
2313
Minor changes:
2314
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 2315
      Added -locatedir=name
2316
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 2317
      directory.
2318
 
2319
    * jats label utility
2320
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
2321
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
2322
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
2323
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
2324
 
2325
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
2326

315 dpurdie 2329
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2330
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 2331
 
2332
Minor changes:
2333
    * WinCe Toolsets
2334
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 2335
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 2336
        noExceptions            - Disable
2337
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
2338
      Example:
2339
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
2340
 
2341
    * Solaris targets
2342
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
2343
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
2344
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
2345
      machine type.
2346
 
2347
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2348
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
2349
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2350
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 2351
    * New Build Platform: VB6
2352
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
2353
      project files.
2354
 
2355
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
2356
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
2357
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
2358
 
2359
Minor changes:
2360
    * Added more internal documentation
2361
      Use jats help to see available documentation
2362
 
2363
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
2364
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
2365
 
2366
    * Jats save_build utility
2367
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2368
      under windows.
2369
 
2370
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
2371
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
2372
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
2373
      libraries.
2374
 
2375
    * Solaris builds
2376
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
2377
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
2378
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
2379
      of the build failure.
2380
 
2381
 
2382
Internal changes:
2383
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
2384
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
2385
 
2386
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
2387
      PkgArchive topics.

2391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2392
Major changes:
2393
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
2394
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
2395
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
2396
      existing 32-bit builds.
2397
 
2398
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
2399
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
2400
 
2401
Minor changes:
2402

2403
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
2404
 
2405
    * Package searching
2406
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
2407
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
2408
 
2409
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
2410
 
2411
    * jats help
2412
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
2413
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
2414
 
2415
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
2416
      with one of:
2417
        jats -h
2418
        jats help jats
2419
 
2420
Internal:
2421
    * cmdfile utility
2422
      Added macros:
2423
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
2424
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
2425
 
2426
      Corrected
2427
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
2428
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
2429
 
2430
      Extended
2431
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2432
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2433
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
2434
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Minor changes:
2442
 
2443
Internal changes
2444
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
2445
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
2446
      Useful side effects include:
2447
 
2448
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
2449
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
2450
 
2451
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
2452
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
2453
 
2454
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
2455
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
2456
        BuildPkgArchive
2457
 
313 dpurdie 2458
    * Perl Modules
2459
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
2460
      release. This will:
2461
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
2462
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
2463
          reported by ERG.
2464
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
2472
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
2473
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
2474
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
2475
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
2476
 
2477
    * Jats label utility
2478
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
2479
 
2480
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
2481
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
2482
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
2483
 
2484
    * Jats core
2485
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
2486
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
2487
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
2496
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
2497
      This is now fixed.
2498
 
309 dpurdie 2499
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 2500
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 2501
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 2502
 
2503
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2504
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 2512
    * Generating makefiles
2513
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 2514
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 2515
      an error.
2516
 
2517
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 2518
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 2519
 
2520
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 2521
      Highly specialized directive.

2527
Major changes:
2528
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
2529
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
2530
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
2531
 
2532
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
2533
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
2534
 
2535
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
2536
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
2537
      Support includes
2538
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
2539
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
2540
 
2541
Minor changes:
2542
    * Build file processing
2543
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
2544
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
2545
 
2546
    * MOS builds
2547
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
2548
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
2549
 
2550
    * MOS builds
2551
      New 'known' product: PICP
2552
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
2553
 
2554
    * GenerateFiles directive
2555
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
2556
        under windows.
2557
 
2558
        .
2559
 
2560
    * Verbose builds now show command files
2561
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
2562
 
2563
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
2564
      to the output stream.
2565
 
2566
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
2567
 
2568
    * Windows Shell
2569
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
2570
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
2571
 
2572
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
2573
 
2574
    * H8S toolset
2575
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
2576
 
2577
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
2578
      handle macros that use line continuation.
2579
 
2580
Internal changes
2581
    * WinCe builds
2582
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
2583
      content of the file.
2584
 
2585
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
2586
 
2587
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
2588
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

2600
Major changes:
2601
 
2602
Minor changes:
2603
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
2604
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
2605
      Changes are transparent to users.
2606
 
2607
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
2608
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
2609
      this occurs.
2610
 
2611
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
2612
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
2613
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
2614
      automated build framework.
2615
 
2616
    * jats sandbox command
2617
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
2618
      'create' command.
2619
 
2620
    * jats command aliases. Added
2621
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
2622
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2627
Major changes:
2628
    * Jats Command line and -java option
2629
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
2630
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
2631
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
2632
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
2633
      will work as expected
2634
 
2635
Minor changes:
2636
    * VS2008 Toolset
2637
      Picking up incorrect config details
2638
      May result in a warning message.
2639
 
2640
    * gen_cots utility
2641
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
2642
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
2643
 
2644
    * DELPHI7 toolset
2645
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

Version:  2.79.0000.cr                               Released: 10-Jun-09
2692
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2693
Major changes:
2694
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
2695
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
2696
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
2697
 
2698
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
2699
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
2700
 
2701
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
2702
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
2703
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
2704
           names cannot be changed.
2705
 
2706
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
2707
           artifacts is very simplistic.
2708
 
2709
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
2710
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
2711
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
2712
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
2713
 
2714
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
2715
      file.
2716
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
2717
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
2718
      MyPackage.dpk.
2719
 
2720
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
2721
      file.
2722
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
2723
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
2724
      MyDll.dpr.
2725
 
2726
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
2727
      file.
2728
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
2729
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
2730
      MyProg.dpr.
2731
 
2732
Minor changes:
2733
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
2734
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
2735
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
2736
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
2737
 
2738
    * BuildVersion directive
2739
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
2740
      in a Delphi Unit.
2741
 
2742
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
2743
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
2744
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
2745
      'know' the location of the files.
2746
 
2747
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
2748
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
2749
 
2750
Internal Changes:
2751
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
2752
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
2753
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
2754
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
2755
 
2756
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
2757
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
2758
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
2762
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2763
Major changes:
2764
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
2765
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
2766
      information for purely C++ builds.
2767
 
289 dpurdie 2768
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
2769
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 2770
 
289 dpurdie 2771
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
2772
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
2773
            Manager
287 dpurdie 2774
 
2775
Minor changes:
2776
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
2777
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
2778
 
2779
    * updatenodespec utility
2780
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
2781
      Manager database.

2807
    * MergeLibrary directive
2808

2817
Minor changes:
2818
    * New command: jats make show
2819
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
2820
      used in the build.
2821
 
2822
    * Escrow command
2823
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
2824
 
2825
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
2826
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
2827
      build files against the Release Manager information.
2828
 
2829
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
2830
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
2831
 
2832
------------------------------------------------------------------------
279 dpurdie 2833

277 dpurdie 2834
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2835
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 2836
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 2837
 
279 dpurdie 2838
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
2839
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
2840
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 2841
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 2842
 
2843
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
2844
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
2845
 
2846
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
2847
 
2848
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
2849
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
2850
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
2851
 
2852
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
2853
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
2854
        processed.
2855
 
2856
      Removed the '-delete' option
2857
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
2858
 
277 dpurdie 2859
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 2860
    * Sandbox command
2861
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
2862
 
2863
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
2864
      target from consideration in the build set.
2865
 
2866
    * MCR Toolset
2867
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
2868
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
2869
 
2870
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
2871
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
2872
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
2873
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
2874
 
2875
    * Jats run_test command
2876
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
2877
      tests we run on a Window machine.
2878
 
2879
    * descpkg file
2880
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
2881
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
2882
 
2883
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
2884
     Now contains build trace information
2885
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
2886
 
2887
   * jats abt command simplified usage
2888
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
2889
     it contains 'jar' files.
2890
 
2891
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
2892
 
2893
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
2894
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
2895
 
2896
   * BuildVersion directive
2897
     Form:
2898
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
2899
     now works as expected.
2900
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
2901
 
2902
Internal Changes:
2903
 
2904
    * Error reporting mechanism
2905
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
2906
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
2907
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

2918
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
2919
    then starts.
2920
 
2921
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
2922
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
2923
 
2924
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
2925
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
2926
    non-platform option.
2927
 
279 dpurdie 2928
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

2946
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
2947
 
2948
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
2949
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
2950
 
2951
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
2952
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
2953
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
2954

2955
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
2956
 
2957
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
2958
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
2959
      to the invoked application.
2960
 
2961
Internal Changes:

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
3083
 
3084
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
3085
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
3086
 
3087
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
3088
      New options:

        no_define_source_file
3090
        define_source_file              (Default)
3091
 
3092
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3093
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3094
 
3095
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
3096
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
3097
      compatibility.
3098
 
3099
    * Jats directives: MakeProject

3103
            --InstallProg=list
3104
 
3105
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
3106
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
3107
      GenerateCab.
3108
 
3109
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags
3110

Internal Changes:
3122
    * These utility 'gen_winrc' now uses module used by the BuildVersion
3123
      directive to created the resource file.
3124
 
3125
      The BuildVersion.pm module has been modified to allows it to be used in
3126
      a standalone manner by gen_winrc.pl.

      of XDR based modules.
3157
 
3158
    * Jats GenerateFiles directive
3159
      New option '--PreDelete' will delete all generated files before
3160
      the generator process is run. This may be used in cases where the

3176
Internal Changes:
3177
    * Resolved issues with JatsEnv modules that make it difficult to include

3186
 
3187
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
3188
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
3189
      programs.
3190
 
3191
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
3192
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

      After discovering that several operations are not fully function under
3205
      Perl 5.6.1 the minimum version of Active State Perl that is required has
3206
      been increased.
3207
 
3208

3218
 
3219
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
3220
 
3221
      Suggested new usage:
3222
        jats etool jats_save_build
3223
                        -pname=xxxx

3238
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
3239
 
3240
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
3241
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
3242
      time.
3243
 
3244
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
3245
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

3258
 
3259
Internal Changes:
3260
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
3261
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3262
      Previously was being done at two places
3263
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3264
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3265
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
3266
 
3267
    * JATS make: Command line
3268
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
3269
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
3270
 
3271
      It didn't work on all platforms.

3277
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
3278
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
3279
        + Consistent use of option parsing
3280
 
3281

3282
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
3283
      Improved readability of the generation process
3284
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
3285
      Removed dead code
3286
      Improved the creation of Progs
3287
 
3288

      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
3290
      problems.
3291
 
3292
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG

3302
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
3303
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
3304
 
3305
    * FileUtils package.
3306
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
3307
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.

3324
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
3325
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
3326
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
3327
 
3328
Minor changes:
3329
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
3330
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

Major changes:
3339
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
3340
      The product must be installed in its default location.
3341
 
3342
      New platforms:
3343
        CSHARP2005
3344
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
3345
         Support extends to allow:
3346
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
3347
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3348
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
3349
 
3350
        VS2005
3351
         Support extends to allow:
3352
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
3353
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
3354
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
3355
 
3356
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
3357
      through a version selector:
3358
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
3359
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
3360
 
3361
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
3362
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
3363
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
3364
 
3365
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
3366
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
3367
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
3368
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
3369
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
3370
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
3371
          under VS2005.
3372
 
3373
Minor changes:
3374
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
3375
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
3376
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
3377
 
3378
    * PPC_603E Toolset
3379
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
3380
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
3381
 
3382
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
3383
 
3384
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
3385
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
3386
 
3387
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
3388
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
3389
      a minimal value of perl.
3390
 
3391
      Removed excessive require statements.
3392
 
3393
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
3394
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
3395
      Include JATS specific files for
3396
        1) Windows
3397
        2) Linux
3398
 
3399
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
3400
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
3401
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
3402
      machines.
3403
 
3404
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
3405
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
3406
 
3407
    * JATS Environment
3408
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
3409
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
3410
 
3411
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
3412
      wrapper scripts.
3413
 
3414
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
3415
      Correct problem with location of build files.
3416
      Spell check help and code.

3445
      was added.
3446

Major changes:
249 dpurdie 3461
 
3462
Minor changes:
3463
    * PackageFile directive [DEVI-048037][DEVI-047541]
3464
      Now supports the packaging of files with ( or ) in the name
3465

3467
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
3468
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3469
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 3470
  * New toolset and platform
3471
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
3472
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
3473
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
3474
    this platform.
3475
 
3476
Minor changes:
3477
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
3478
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
3479
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
3480
    work.
3481
 
3482
  * Jats utility: release
3483
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
3484
    published to dpkg_archive.
3485
 
249 dpurdie 3486
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 3487
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
3488
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
3489
    supported for ANT builds.
3490
 
3491
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
3492
        releasemanager.releasename
3493
        releasemanager.projectname
3494
 
3495
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
3496
    tagged data item of the form
3497
 
3498
        releasemanager.releasename = value
3499
        releasemanager.projectname = value
3500
 
3501
  * Mug File Generation
3502
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
3503
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
3504
 
3505
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
3506
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
3507
    required.
3508
 
3509
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
3510
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
3511
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
3512
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
3513
    the files in order to use them.
3514
 
3515
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
3516
    locate the file.
3517
 
3518
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
3519
    to ensure backward compatibility.
3520
 
3521
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
3522
        * CSharp
3523
        * Properties
3524
        * WinRC
3525
 
3526
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
3527
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
3528
    The case of the value is now preserved.
3529
    Value is correctly assigned.
3530

3532
Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
3533
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3534
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 3535
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
3536
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
3537
 
3538
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
3539
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
3540
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
3541
 
3542
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
3543
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
3544
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
3545
 
3546
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
3547
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
3548
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
3549
 
3550
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
3551
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
3552
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
3553
    correct.
3554
 
3555
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
3556
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
3557
 
3558
Minor changes:
3559
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
3560
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 3561
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 3562
 
3563
    This should improve build reproducibility.
3564
    This will simplify new user setup.
3565
 
3566
  * All Unix Toolsets
3567
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
3568
    on unix systems
3569
 
3570
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
3571
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
3572
    on some Solaris Machines.
3573
 
3574
  * JATS -version=<version>
3575
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
3576
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
3577

3594
      Does not work with LMOS
3595
 
3596
    * Readme.txt file
3597
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
3598
 
3599
    * Misc Cleanup
3600
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
3620
 
3621
  * JATS builds
3622
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
3623
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
3624
    mode.
3625
 
3626
  * JATS makefiles
3627
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
3628
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
3629
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
3630
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
3631
                            SetList directive.
3632
 
3633

        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
3641
 
3642
  * JATS buildfile processing
3643
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
3644
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
3645
    of JATS.
3646
 
3647
  * JATS save_build utility
3648
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of

    Correctly labels directories up to the VOB root.
3653
    Displays the correct 'Source Path' in the Release Manager Information.
3654
    Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only
3655
 
3656
  * JATS sandbox (experimental)
3657

      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
3678
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
3679
 
3680
    * MOS Toolset
3681
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
3682
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
3683
 
3684
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

    * Extract/Release utility.
3731
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
3732
      that can handle spaces
3733
 
3734
    * MOS Compiler
3735
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
3736
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
3737
 
3738
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3739
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded

3777
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 3778
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
3779
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
3780
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
3781
 
3782
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3783
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
3784
 
3785
    * Jats wrapper
3786
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
3787
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
3788

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3792
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 3793
    * Jats Release Mechanism
3794
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
3795
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
3796
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
3797
 
3798
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
3799
 
3800
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
3801
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
3802
 
3803
    * Running Jats
3804
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
3805
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
3806
      This may affect some windows developers.
3807
 
3808
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
3809
      Future versions will generate an error.
3810
 
3811
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
3812
 
3813
Minor changes:
3814
    * Perl Version Check
3815
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
3816
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
3817
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
3818
 
3819
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
3820
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
3821
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
3822
      build.
3823
 
3824
    * Jats Internals
3825
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
3826
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
3827
 
3828
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
3829
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
3830
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
3831
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
3832
      process.
3833
 
3834
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
3835
      Only works under Windows.
3836
 
3837
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
3838
 
3839
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
3840
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
3841
 
3842
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
3843
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
3844
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
3845
 
3846
    * Jats eprog
3847
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
3848
      directory.
3849
 
3850
    * jats tool jats_metrics
3851
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect

3856
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3857
Major changes:
3858
 
3859
Minor changes:
3860
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
3861
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
3862
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
3863
      automated build system. New options are:
3864
        -pname=Package_Name
3865
        -pversion=Package_Version
3866
 
3867
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
3868
      transferring the package. New options are:
3869
        -test
3870
 
3871
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3872
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
3873
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
3874
 
3875
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
3876
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
3877
 
3878
    * Solaris Toolset
3879
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
3880
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
3881
      programs are still supported.

3886
Major changes:
3887
 
3888
Minor changes:
3889
    * WINCE toolsets
3890
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
3891
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
3892
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
3893
      when header files cannot be found.
3894
 
3895
    * GenerateFiles directive
3896
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
3897
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
3898
      that are difficult to solve.
3899
 
3900
    * MakePerlModule directive
3901
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
3902
      to the the module builder.
3903
 
3904
    * Jats Tool: label
3905
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
3906
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
3907
      -dirs=xxx options.
3908
 
3909
    * Jats Tool: release
3910
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
3911
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
3912
 
3913
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
3914
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
3915
 
3916
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
3917
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
3918
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
3919
 
3920
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
3927
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
3928
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
3929
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
3930
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
3931
 
3932
Minor changes:
3933
    * label utility
3934
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
3935
 
3936
    * make package and install operations
3937
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
3938
      transfer.
3939
 
3940
    * make clean up
3941
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
3942
 
3943
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
3944
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
3945
      minor file transformations such as:
3946
        Copy, with optional rename
3947
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
3948
        Perform simple TAG replacement
3949
 
3950
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
3951
 
3952
    * jats release utility
3953
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
3954
      in place.
3955
 
3956
    * escrow utility
3957
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
3958
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
3966
    * Makefile generation
3967
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
3968
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
3969
      generate phase early.

3974
Major changes:
3975
 
3976
Minor changes:
3977
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
3978
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
3979
 
3980
    * Makefile generation
3981
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
3982
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
3983
 
3984
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
3985
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
3986
 
3987
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
3988
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
3989
      branch. The locks will be removed.
3990
 
3991
    * jats_rewrite utility
3992
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
3993
 
3994
    * jats escrow utility
3995
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
3996
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
3997
 
3998
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
3999
      inconsistent packages.
4000
 
4001
    * jats make help
4002
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4003
      available within the current build.
4004
 
4005
    * jats makefiles
4006
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4007
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4008
 
4009
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4010
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4011
 
4012
    * gcc toolset
4013
      SharedLibries.
4014
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4015
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4016
 
4017
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4018
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4019
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4020
 
4021
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4022
        New options:
4023
            --MultiScan
4024
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4025
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4026
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4032
Major changes:
4033
 
4034
Minor changes:
4035
    PackageLib directive
4036
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4037
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4038
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4039
 
4040
    MakefileGenerate directive
4041
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4042
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4043
 
4044
    Multiple Parent detection
4045
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4046
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4047
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4048
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4049
 
4050
    Solaris Toolset
4051
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4052
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4053
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4054
    link.
4055
 
4056
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4057
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4058
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4059
 
4060
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4061
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4062
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4063
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4068
Major changes:
4069
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4070
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4071
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4072
 
4073
    Summary of changes:
4074
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4075
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4076
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4077
          flexibility.
4078
 
4079
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4080
 
4081
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4082
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4083
          interface directory and associated build information.
4084
 
4085
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4086
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4087
          than one second.
4088
 
4089
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4090
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4091
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4092
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4093
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4094
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4095
 
4096
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4097
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4098
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4099
 
4100
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4101
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4102
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4103
          building them.
4104
 
4105
        - Detection of build file changes
4106
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4107
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4108
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4109
 
4110
        - Quieter make output
4111
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4112
 
4113
 
4114
Minor changes:
4115
    MakeAnt Directive
4116
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4117
 
4118
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4119
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4120
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4121
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4122
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4123
 
4124
    CSHARP toolset
4125
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4126

Minor changes:
4133
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4134
    are generated.
4135
 
4136
    MakeAnt
4137
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4138
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4139
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4140
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4141
 
4142
    MCR platform
4143
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

4151
Minor changes:
4152
    MakeAnt directive extended
4153
    New option: --PackageBase
4154
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4155
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4156
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4157
 
4158
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4159
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4160
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4161
        package image being created.

4180
    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4181
 
4182
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4183
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4184
 
4185
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4186
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4187
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4188
 
4189
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4190
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4191
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4192
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
4221
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4222
 
4223
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4224
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4225
      last.
4226
 
4227
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4228
 
4229
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4230
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4231
 
4232
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4233
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4234
 
4235
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4236
 
4237
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4238
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4239
 
4240
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4241

Major changes:
4253
 
4254
Minor changes:
4255
    * Solaris Toolset
4256
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
4257
      dependent packages.
4258
 
4259
    * RunTest operation
4260
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4261
 
4262
    * Csharp toolkit
4263
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too

Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
4267
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4268
Major changes:
4269
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4270
 
4271
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4272
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4273
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4274
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4275
      path.
4276
 
4277
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4278
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4279
      reproducible.
4280
 
4281
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4282
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4283
 
4284
      There are several aspects to the change
4285
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4286
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4287
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4288
 
4289
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4290
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4291
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4292
          controlled separately.
4293
 
4294
Minor changes:
4295
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4296
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4297
        Remove duplicates
4298
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4299

4303
Major changes:
4304
 
4305
Minor changes:
4306
    * Makefile sanity test
4307
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
4308
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
4309
 
4310
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
4311
      x86 machine.
4312
 
4313
    * Correct bug in RunTest
4314
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
4315
 
4316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4317
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
4318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4319
Major changes:
4320
    * RunTest directive
4321
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
4322
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
4323
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
4324
 
4325
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
4326
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
4327
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
4328
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
4329
 
4330
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
4331
        builder within the current toolset.
4332
 
4333
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
4334
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
4335
 
4336
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
4337
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
4338
      containing the RunTest directive.
4339
 
4340
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
4341
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
4342
 
4343
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
4344
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
4345
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
4346
 
4347
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
4348
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
4349
                            P or D suffix.
4350
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
4351
                            select the correct library type for this build.
4352
 
4353
Minor changes:
4354
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
4355
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
4356
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
4357
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
4358
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
4359
 
4360
    * Save Build Utility
4361
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
4362
      used in a ripple build.
4363
 
4364
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
4365
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
4366
 
4367
    * Release Utility
4368
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
4369
      when an error is encountered.
4370
 
4371
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
4372
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
4373
 
4374
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
4375
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
4376
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
4377
 
4378
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
4379
      before the makefiles are created.
4380
 
4381
    * TestProg directive
4382
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
4383
 
4384
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
4385
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
4386

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4390
Major changes:
4391
    * New build target
4392
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
4393
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
4394
 
4395
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
4396
            DEVLINUX
4397
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
4398
 
4399
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
4400
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
4401
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
4402
 
4403
Minor changes:
4404
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
4405
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
4406
 
4407
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
4408
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
4409
 
4410
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
4411
      and .cs files.
4412
 
4413
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
4414
      thing.
4415
 
4416
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
4417
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
4418
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
4419
      were it places temp files.
4420
 
4421
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
4422
      interaction with other builds.
4423
 
4424
    * Release utility command
4425
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
4426
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
4427
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
4435
 
4436
    Supports the handling of .resx files
4437
 
4438
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
4439
    libraries
4440
 
4441
Minor changes:
4442
  * Unit Tests
4443
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
4444
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
4445
 
4446
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
4447
    as a Script.

    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
4480
 
4481
  * Removed the following targets
4482
        TP5600
4483
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4484
        TP5600_EMU
4485
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4486
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4487
 
4488
  * Deployment
4489
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
4490
 
4491
  * build.pl
4492
    Better error check on a packages version number.
4493
 
4494
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
4495
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
4496
 
4497
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
4498
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
4499
    build.
4500
 
4501
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
4502
 
4503
  * Tool: escrow
4504
     New features
4505
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
4506
     are not in the SBOM.
4507
 
4508
     Prune "patch" package versions.
4509

4515
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4516
Major changes:
4517
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
4518
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
4519
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
4520
 
4521
  * GenerateFiles
4522
    Added the options:
4523
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
4524
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
4525
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
4526
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
4527
 
4528
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
4529
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
4530
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
4531
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
4532
                                  required.
4533
 
4534
 
4535
Minor changes:
4536
  * GenerateFile directive
4537
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
4538
 
4539
  * GCC Toolset
4540
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
4541
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
4542
    be rebuilt.
4543
 
4544
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
4545
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
4546
 
4547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4548
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
4549
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4550
Major changes:
4551
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
4552
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
4553
    environment variables.
4554
 
4555
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
4556
            moved.
4557
 
4558
    This will affect users that:
4559
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
4560
           Some tools that build deployable packages
4561
 
4562
        2) Use the ABT system
4563
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
4564
           the required configuration
4565
 
4566
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
4567
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
4568
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
4569
    Windows
4570
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
4571
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
4572
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
5710 dpurdie 4573
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 4574
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
4575
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
4576
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
5710 dpurdie 4577
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 4578
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
4579
 
4580
 
4581
  * New build platforms
4582
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4583
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
4584
 
4585
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4586
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4587
 
4588
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
4589
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
4590
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
4591
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
4592
 
4593
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
4594
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
4595
    release.
4596
 
4597
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
4598
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
4599
 
4600
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
4601
    need to be converted.
4602
 
4603
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
4604
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
4605
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
4606
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
4607
    used for different targets platforms.
4608
 
4609
  * Sandbox support
4610
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4611
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
4612
 
4613
    New command: jats sandbox ...

Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
4620
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4621
Major changes:
4622
  * MakeAnt directive
4623
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
4624
 
4625
    New options
4626
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
4627
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
4628
 
4629
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
4630
    run_unit_tests phase.
4631
 
4632
  * Sandbox support
4633
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
4634
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
4635
 
4636
Minor changes:
4637
  * jats build
4638
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
4639
    platforms that will be 'built'.
4640
 
4641
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
4642
 
4643
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
4644
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
4645
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
4646
 
4647
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
4648
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
4649
 
4650
  * JATS.BAT
4651
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
4652
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
4653
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
4654
 
4655
  * jats label
4656
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
4657
 
4658
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4659
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
4660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4661
Major changes:
4662
  * New build platform:
4663
        LMOS_TP5600
4664
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
4665
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4666
 
4667
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
4668
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
4669
    describe the group of platforms.
4670
 
4671
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
4672
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
4673
    build these targets.
4674
 
4675
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
4676
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
4677
 
4678
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
4679
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
4680
 
4681
  * New build platform: WINCE
4682
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
4683
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
4684
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
4685
 
4686
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
4687
            WCEIT3000
4688
            WCEPA961
4689
            WCEPA962
4690
            WCEPCM7220
4691
            WCEPSION_420
4692
            WCEPSPC_arm
4693
            WCEPSPC_emu
4694
            WCEX86A420
4695
            WCEX86A500
4696
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
4697
 
4698
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
4699
 
4700
 *  JATS makefile.pl
4701
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
4702
    that contain packaging directives.
4703
 
4704
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
4705
    very unusual configurations.
4706
 
4707
Minor changes:
4708
  * Directive: PackageFile
4709
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
4710
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
4711
    an '='.
4712
 
4713
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
4714
    of "--Subdir=etc".
4715
 
4716
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
4717
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
4718
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
4719
 
4720
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
4721
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
4722
 
4723
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4724
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
4725
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4726
Major changes:
4727
 
4728
  * JATS release command
4729
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
4730
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
4731
 
4732
    Rules are:
4733
        Modify a file:      File will branch
4734
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
4735
                            File will be placed on a branch
4736
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
4737
                            New directory will branch
4738
 
4739
Minor changes:
4740
  * JATS release command
4741
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
4742
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
4743
 
4744
  * JATS label command
4745
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
4746
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
4747
 
4748
  * JATS make
4749
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
4750
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
4751
    was re-packaged.
4752
 
4753
  * JATS escrow
4754
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
4755
    Use jats escrow -help for details
4756
 
4757
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
4758
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
4759
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
4760
 
4761
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
4762
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
4763
    interface directory.
4764
 
4765
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
4766
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
4767
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
4768
    directory as seen by the package.
4769
 
4770
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
4771
 
4772
  * JAVA 6
4773
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
4774
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
4775
 
4776
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
4777
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
4778
 
4779
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
4780
 
4781
  * Jats command: vars
4782
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
4783
    These indicate potential problems.
4784
 
4785
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4786
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
4787
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4788
Major changes:
4789
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
4790
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
4791
    libarry is also created.
4792
 
4793
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
4794
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
4795
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
4796
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
4797
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
4798
    information contained within the file.
4799
 
4800
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
4801
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
4802
 
4803
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
4804
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
4805
 
4806
  * Building Perl Modules
4807
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
4808
    documentation on the build machine.
4809
 
4810
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
4811
 
4812
Minor changes:
4813
  * jats create_dpkg
4814
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
4815
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
4816
 
4817
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4818
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
4819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4820
Major changes:
4821
  * JATS JAVA build target
4822
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
4823
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
4824
 
4825
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
4826
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
4827
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
4828
    is then picked up as the default version.
4829
 
4830
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
4831
    build.pl file.
4832
 
4833
Minor changes:
4834
  * jats release
4835
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
4836
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
4837
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
4838
 
4839
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
4840
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
4841
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
4842
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
4843
    the name of the view.
4844
 
4845
  * GenerateFiles directive
4846
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
4847
 
4848
  * MOS Toolset
4849
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
4850
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
4851
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
4852
 
4853
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
4854
 
4855
 
4856
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4857
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
4858
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4859
Major changes:
4860
 
4861
Minor changes:
4862
  * JATS environment
4863
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
4864
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
4865
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
4866
 
4867
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
4868
 
4869
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
4870
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
4871
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
4872
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
4873
    to be packaged.
4874
 
4875
  * Generated makefiles
4876
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
4877
 
4878
  * Generating MOS THX files
4879
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
4880
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
4881
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
4882
 
4883
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
4884
 
4885
  * JATS release
4886
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
4887
 
4888
  * JATS extract
4889
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
4890
 
4891
  * JATS Toolset
4892
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
4893
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
4894
 
4895

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4897
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
4898
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4899
Major changes:
4900
 
4901
Minor changes:
4902
  * jats label
4903
    Added a -vob=name option
4904
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
4905
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
4906
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
4907
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
4908
 
4909
    Added a -user=name option
4910
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
4911
    label to the named user.
4912
 
4913
  * jats release
4914
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
4915
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
4916
 
4917
  * JATS build.pl
4918
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
4919
    ie:
4920
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
4921

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4924
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
4925
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4926
Major changes:
4927
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
4928
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
4929
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
4930
    the makefile internals. ie:
4931
        --Var(BuildName)
4932
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
4933
        -BuildName=MyPackage
4934
 
4935
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
4936
 
4937
  * GenerateFiles
4938
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
4939
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
4940
 
4941
  * BuildPlatforms
4942
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
4943
 
4944
Minor changes:
4945
  * GCC Toolset
4946
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
4947
 
4948
Internal changes:
4949
  * GenerateFiles
4950
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
4951
 
4952
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
4953
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
4954
 
4955
 
4956
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4957
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
4958
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4959
Major changes:
4960
  * Caching JATS
4961
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
4962
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
4963
 
4964
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
4965
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
4966
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
4967
 
4968
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
4969
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
4970
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
4971
 
4972
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
4973
 
4974
Minor changes:
4975
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
4976
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
4977
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
4978
 
4979
  * jats build
4980
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
4981
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
4982
    processed by the build.
4983
 
4984
  * jats build
4985
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
4986
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
4987
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
4988
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
4989
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
4990
 
4991
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
4992
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
4993
    Path is not specified.
4994
 
4995
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
4996
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
4997
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
4998
        --Dir=$Pinc
4999
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5000
 
5001
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5002
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5003
    Windows platform.
5004
 
5005
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5006
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5007
            by 'purecov.
5008
 
5009
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5010
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5011
 
5012
        - OPTIONS=purify
5013
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5014
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5015
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5016

5023
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5024
    Example:
5025
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5026
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5027
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5028
 
5029
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5030
    been determined.
5031
 
5032
Minor changes:
5033
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5034
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5035
    located at build-time.
5036
 
5037
  * Unix based systems
5038
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
5039
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
5040
 
5041
  * MakeLinuxDriver
5042
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
5043
    driver being built.

5073
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
5074
 
5075
    GenerateFiles.
5076
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
5077
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
5078
                      be run on every invocation.

  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
5090
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
5091
 
5092
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
5093
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default

5104
  * SunWorks Toolset
5105
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
5106
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
5107
    It is based on machine type.
5108
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
5109
 
5110
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
5111
 
5112
Minor changes:
5113

5122
Major changes:
5123
  * GCC Toolset
5124
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
5125
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5140
 
5141
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5142
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5143
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5144
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5145
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5146
 
5147
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5148
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5149
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5150
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5151
 
5152
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5153
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

5165
 
5166
 
5167
Minor changes:
5168
  * JATS wrapper script
5169
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5170
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5171
    to setup links to system programs.
5172

5194
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5195
        no_misalign         - Default
5196
 
5197
        multithread         - Default
5198
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking

        debug_debuginfo
5212
 
5213
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
5214
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5215
    Theses are:
5216
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5217
        SOLARIS_AMD
5218
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5219
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5220
 
5221
Minor changes:
5222
  * AT3232 toolset
5223
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

Major changes:
5233
 
5234
Minor changes:
5235
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5236
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5237
    messages
5238
 
5239
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5240
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5241
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5242
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5243
 
5244

5247
Major changes:
5248
 
5249
Minor changes:
5250
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5251
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5252
    library without creating the body of the library:
5253
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5254
 
5255
 
5256
  * MOS toolsets
5257
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5258
    library without creating the body of the library:
5259
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5260
 
5261
  * JATS BIN directories
5262
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5263
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5264
    using autoconf.
5265
 
5266
  * Generate directive
5267
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5268
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5269
 
5270
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5271

5285
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5286
Major changes:
5287
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5288
    Initial release.
5289
 
5290
  * Packaging directives
5291
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5292
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5293
 
5294
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5295
        SOLARIS
5296
        WIN32
5297
 
5298
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5299
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5300
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5301
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5302
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5303
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5304
 
5305
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5306
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5307
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
5308
 
5309
 
5310
Minor changes:
5311
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
5312
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
5313
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
5314
 
5315
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
5316
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
5317
    location
5318
 
5319
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
5320
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
5321
 
5322
  * Utility genrc
5323
    Added the company name to the copyright string
5324
 
5325
  * Utility: jats_save_build
5326
    Added option: -new
5327
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
5328
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
5329
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
5330
 
5331
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5332
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
5333
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
5334
 
5335
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
5336
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
5337
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
5338
 
5339
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
5340
   features - in a uniform manner.
5341
 
5342
 
5343
Internal Changes:
5344
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
5345
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
5346
 
5347
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
5348
        1) Platform information available at build time
5349
        2) Dynamic platform names
5350
 
5351
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
5352
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
5353
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
5354
 
5355
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
5356
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
5357
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
5358
 
5359
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5360
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
5361
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
5362
    needed.
5363
 
5364
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
5365
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
5366
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
5367
    files from all of these.
5368

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5379
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
5380
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5381
Major changes:
5382
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
5383
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
5384
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
5385
 
5386
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
5387
 
5388
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
5389
    the operations.
5390
 
5391
    The version option MUST be the first option.
5392
 
5393
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
5394
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
5395
 
5396
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
5397
 
5398
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
5399
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
5400
 
5401
  * Utility: create_dpkg
5402
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
5403
    Extended the built-in help
5404
    Added useful error messages
5405
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
5406
 
5407
  * WinCE toolset
5408
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
5409
 
5410
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
5411
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
5412
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
5413
 
5414
Minor changes:
5415
  * JATS wrapper script
5416
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
5417
    the command line.
5418
 
5419
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
5420
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
5421
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
5422
 
5423
Internal Changes:
5424
  * Common Error Reporting
5425
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
5426
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
5427
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
5428
    level.
5429
 
5430
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
5431
    displayed.
5432
 
5433
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
5434
 
5435
  * Added JatsSystem module
5436
    Common code for accessing system commands        
5437

Minor changes:
5443
  * BR Compiler toolset
5444
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
5445
    .def files to include other files.
5446
 
5447
  * IAR toolset
5448
    Added AT7272 support
5449
 
5450
  * Tool: jats_manifest
5451
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
5452

Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
5455
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5456
Major changes:
5457
 
5458
Minor changes:
5459
  * BR Compiler toolset
5460
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
5461
    use.
5462
 
5463
 
5464
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5465
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
5466
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5467
Major changes:
5468
 
5469
Minor changes:
5470
  * Mictotec toolset
5471
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
5472
    builds.
5473
 
5474
  * JATS Core
5475
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
5476
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
5477
    behaviour.
5478
 
5479
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5480
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
5481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5482
Major changes:
5483
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
5484
    Deployment package will be affected.
5485
 
5486
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
5487
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
5488
 
5489
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
5490
 
5491
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
5492
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
5493
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
5494
    packages.
5495
 
5496
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
5497
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
5498
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
5499
 
5500
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
5501
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
5502
 
5503
Minor changes:
5504
  * SubDir directive
5505
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
5506
    a directory from two different makefiles.
5507
 
5508
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
5509
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
5510
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
5511
    of the file usage.
5512
 
5513
  * New utility: jats_manifest
5514
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
5515
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
5516
 
5517
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
5518
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
5519
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
5520
 
5521
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
5522
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
5523
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
5524
    will execute a JATS extended command.
5525
 
5526
 
5527
Internal Changes:
5528
  * Code refactor
5529
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
5530
 
5531
  * Deployment utilities
5532
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
5533
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
5534
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
5535
    the module can locate the file.
5536
 
5537
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
5538
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
5539
 
5540
  * JATS core
5541
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
5542
 
5543
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
5544
 
5545
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
5546
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
5547
    through the use of environment variables.
5548
 
5549
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
5550
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
5551
 
5552
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
5553
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
5554
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
5555
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
5556
 
5557
  * Make environment
5558
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
5559
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
5560
 
5561
 
5562
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5563
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
5564
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5565
Major changes:
5566
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
5567
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
5568
 
5569
 
5570
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5571
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
5572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5573
 
5574
Not Released.
5575
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
5576
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
5577
 
5578
 
5579
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5580
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
5581
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5582
Major changes:
5583
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
5584
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
5585
    radically replaced.
5586
 
5587
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
5588
    Usage:
5589
        jats etool test_rmconnection
5590
 
5591
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
5592
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
5593
    this solution:
5594
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
5595
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
5596
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
5597
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
5598
 
5599
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
5600
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
5601
    order to work.
5602
 
5603
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
5604
    reduced functionality.
5605
 
5606
 
5607
Minor changes:
5608
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
5609
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
5610
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
5611
 
5612
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
5613
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
5614
    within the makefiles.
5615
        Options:
5616
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
5617
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
5618
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
5619
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
5620
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
5621
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
5622
        Useage:
5623
 
5624
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
5625
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
5626
 
5627
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
5628
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
5629
    is not in the current directory.
5630
 
5631
  * Jats Command: ant'
5632
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
5633
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
5634
 
5635
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
5636
 
5637
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
5638
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
5639
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
5640
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
5641
 
5642
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
5643
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
5644
    Thus
5645
 
5646
        set_WIN32.bat prog
5647
 
5648
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
5649
 
5650

5652
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
5653
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5654
Major changes:
5655
 
5656
Minor changes:
5657
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
5658
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
5659
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
5660
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5661
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
5662
 
5663
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
5664
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
5665
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
5666
 
5667
Internal changes:
5668
  * JATS toolsets
5669
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
5670
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
5671
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
5672
 
5673
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
5674
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
5675
 
5676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5677
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
5678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5679
Major changes:
5680
  * Jats command: etool
5681
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
5682
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
5683
 
5684
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
5685
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
5686
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
5687
    extension. It was bad. Now:
5688
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
5689
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
5690
 
5691
Minor changes:
5692
 
5693
 
5694
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5695
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
5696
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5697
Major changes:
5698
  * JATS environment variables
5699
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
5700
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
5701
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
5702
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
5703
        will not publish packages in this repository.
5704
 
5705
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
5706
              Remote repository
5707
 
5708
    Added GBE_DPLY
5709
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
5710
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
5711
 
5712
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5713
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
5714
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
5715
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
5716
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
5717
 
5718
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
5719
    processed once and it will be processed last.
5720
 
5721
 
5722
Minor changes:
5723
  * JATS utility: build
5724
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
5725
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
5726
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
5727
 
5728
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
5729
    Ensure label is not locked
5730
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
5731
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
5732
 
5733
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
5734
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
5735
    to a specific type of build.
5736
 
5737
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
5738
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
5739
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
5740
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
5741
 
5742
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
5743
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
5744
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
5745
 
5746
  * JATS utility: release
5747
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
5748
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
5749
 
5750
  * JATS utility: label
5751
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
5752
    when it is being created.
5753
 
5754
Internal Changes
5755
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
5756
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
5757
 
5758
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
5759
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
5760
 
5761
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
5762
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
5763
    different results.
5764
 
5765
  * ToolsetRequire directive
5766
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
5767
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
5768
 
5769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5770
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
5771
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5772
Major changes:
5773
 
5774
  * MCR toolset
5775
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
5776
 
5777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5778
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
5779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5780
Major changes:
5781
  * WIN32 utilities
5782
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
5783
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
5784
 
5785
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
5786
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
5787
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
5788
 
5789
Minor changes:
5790
  * BuildVersion
5791
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
5792
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
5793
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
5794
 
5795
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
5796
 
5797
  * Unix Builds
5798
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
5799
    library or a shared library.
5800
 
5801
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
5802
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
5803
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
5804
    start with 'lib'.
5805
 
5806
  * BuildPkgArchive
5807
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
5808
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
5809
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
5810
 
5811
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5812
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
5813
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5814
Major changes:
5815
  * MOS_MRI toolset
5816
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
5817
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
5818
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
5819
    being manually maintained.
5820
 
5821
 
5822
Minor changes:
5823
  * MakeAnt directive
5824
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
5825
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
5826
    supports ANT builds.
5827
 
5828
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5829
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
5830
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
5831
 
5832
  * Label utility
5833
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
5834
    files to be labeled.
5835
 
5836
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
5837
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
5838
    on Solaris.
5839
 
5840
  * Generated makefiles
5841
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
5842
    nothing.
5843
 
5844
  * MOS Toolset
5845
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
5846
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
5847
    modules.
5848
 
5849
  * Utility: gen_cots
5850
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
5851
    and then check it in under clearcase.
5852
 
5853
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
5854
 
5855
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
5856
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
5857

Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
5860
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5861
Major changes:
5862
  None
5863
 
5864
Minor changes:
5865
  * DEVI addressed
5866
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 5867
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 5868
 
5869
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
5870
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
5871
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
5872
 
5873
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
5874
 
5875
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
5876
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
5877
 
5878
  * RunTest directive
5879
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
5880
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
5881
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
5882
 
5883
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
5884
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
5885
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
5886
    packaged under JATS
5887
 
5888
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
5889
          supported within JATS.
5890
 
5891
  * Jats utility wrapper
5892
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
5893
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
5894
 
5895
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
5896
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
5897
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
5898
 
5899
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
5900
    Eg: jats ant
5901
 
5902
  * Jats utility wrapper
5903
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
5904
 
5710 dpurdie 5905
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 5906
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
5907
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
5908
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
5909
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
5910
 
5710 dpurdie 5911
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 5912
    expect a build.pl file.
5913
 
5914
  * Jats utility wrapper
5915
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
5916
 
5917
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
5918
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
5919
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
5920
 
5921
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
5922
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
5923
 
5924
  * Build files
5925
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 5926
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 5927

5929
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
5930
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5931
Major changes:
5932
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
5933
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
5934
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
5935
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
5936
 
5937
    This may cause module validation to fail.
5938
 
5939
Minor changes:
5940
  * None
5941
 
5942
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5943
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
5944
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5945
Major changes:
5946
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
5947
    Added option --Uses=NAME
5948
    ie:
5949
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
5950
 
5951
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
5952
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
5953
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
5954
    environments are compatible.
5955
 
5956
 
5957
Minor changes:
5958
  * BuildName option
5959
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 5960
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 5961
 
5962
  * jats.bat
5963
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
5964
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
5965
 
5966
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5967
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
5968
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5969
Major changes:
5970
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
5971
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
5972
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
5973
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
5974
 
5975
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
5976
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
5977
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
5978
 
5979
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
5980
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
5981
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
5982
 
5983
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
5984
    transferred.
5985
 
5986
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
5987
    See notes below.
5988
 
5989
  * WIN32 toolset
5990
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
5991
    correctly.
5992
 
5993
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
5994
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
5995
 
5996
  * BuildVersion
5997
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
5998
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
5999
    other langauges as needed.
6000
 
6001
 
6002
Minor changes:
6003
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6004
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6005
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6006
    version strings.
6007
 
6008
  * GenerateFiles directive
6009
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6010
    package or an imported package.
6011
 
6012
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6013
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6014
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6015
 
6016
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6017
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6018
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6019
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6020
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6021
 
6022
Internal Changes
6023
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6024
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6025
    of utilities.
6026
 
6027
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6028
    functions.
6029
 
6030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6031
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6032
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6033
Major changes:
6034
  * Generated makefiles
6035
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6036
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6037
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6038
 
6039
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6040
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6041
    incorrectly processing:
6042
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6043
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6044
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6045
    confused.
6046
 
6047
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6048
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6049
    The construct
6050
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6051
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6052
    then it works.
6053
 
6054
  * MakeAnt directive
6055
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6056
 
6057
    This option has the following effects
6058
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6059
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6060
 
6061
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6062
           early - in the generated files phase.
6063
 
6064
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6065
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6066
 
6067
 
6068
Minor changes:
6069
  * JATS post-installation script
6070
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6071
 
6072
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6073
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6074
    windows.
6075
 
6076
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6077
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6078
 
6079
  * Jats wrapper script
6080
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6081
        1) Contain spaces
6082
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6083
 
6084
  * Toolset
6085
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6086
 
6087
  * JAVA toolset
6088
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6089
    directive:
6090
 
6091
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6092
 
6093
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6094
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6095
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6096
 
6097
  * GCC Toolset
6098
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6099
 
6100
  * Makefile generation
6101
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6102
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6103
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6104
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6105
    package could not be used.
6106
 
6107
  * Unit Tests
6108
    The following environment variables are set:
6109
 
6110
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6111
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6112
 
6113
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6114
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6115
 
6116
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6117
 
6118
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6119
 
6120
 
6121
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6122
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6123
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6124
Major changes:
6125
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6126
 
6127
    Special features of this toolset.
6128
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6129
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6130
       incorporated within the target image.
6131
 
6132
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6133
       --Set=Name=Value
6134
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6135
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6136
 
6137
       --Ref=name
6138
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6139
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6140
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6141
                will be taken from the build version number.
6142
 
6143
Minor changes:
6144
  * MOS Toolset
6145
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6146
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6147
    packaged.
6148
 
6149
  * Src directive
6150
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6151
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6152
    specifier.
6153
 
6154
  * WIN32 runtime support
6155
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6156
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6157
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6158
 
6159
Internal:
6160
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6161
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6162
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6163
 
6164
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6165
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6166
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6167
Major changes:
6168
    * BuildAlias directive
6169
      Added options.
6170
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6171
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6172
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6173
                          targets.
6174
      Eg:
6175
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6176
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6177
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6178
 
6179
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6180
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6181
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6182
 
6183
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6184
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6185
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6186
 
6187
 
6188
Minor changes:
6189
  * Label utility
6190
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6191
    build.pl file
6192
 
6193
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6194
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6195
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6196
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6197
    --FilterIn option.
6198
 
6199
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6200
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6201
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6202
 
6203
  * Location of descpkg file
6204
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6205
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6206
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6207
 
6208
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6209
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6210
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6211
Major changes:
6212
  * RunTest directive
6213
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6214
    Additional options
6215
      --CopyIn=file
6216
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6217
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6218
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6219
        the test area.
6220
 
6221
    Additional operations
6222
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6223
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6224
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6225
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6226
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6227
    Allows flags:
6228
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6229
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6230
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6231
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6232
 
6233
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6234
    existence is tested.
6235
 
6236
  * Packaging Directives
6237
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6238
    such as LMOS.
6239
 
6240
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6241
 
6242
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6243
 
6244
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6245
 
6246
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6247
 
6248
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6249
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6250
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6251
 
6252
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6253
 
6254
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6255
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6256
 
6257
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6258
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6259
 
6260
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6261
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6262
 
6263
Minor changes:
6264
  * Script directive
6265
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6266
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6267
 
6268
  * JATS environment
6269
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6270
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6271
    the JATS wrapper script.
6272
 
6273
  * Label utility
6274
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6275
    There are three modes of operation:
6276
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6277
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6278
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.

6282
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6284
Major changes:
6285
 
6286
Minor changes:
6287
  * label utility
6288
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6289
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6290
 
6291
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6292
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6293
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6294
      --ProgLoader=name
6295
 
6296
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6297
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6298
    Options to do this are:
6299
        --TreeDir=name
6300
        --FilterOut=regexp
6301
        --FilterIn=regexp
6302
        --StripDir
6303
 
6304
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6305
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6306
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6307
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
6308
 
6309
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
6310
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
6311
 
6312
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
6313
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
6314
 
6315
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
6316
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
6317
 
6318
 
6319
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6320
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
6321
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6322
Major changes:
6323
    * Make commands
6324
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
6325
 
6326
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
6327
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
6328
 
6329
    * Label utility
6330
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
6331
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
6332
 
6333
Minor changes:
6334
    * Toolsets
6335
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
6336
      variables and overrides.
6337
 
6338
      The make_init target is always run.
6339
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
6340
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
6341
 
6342
    * Deployment
6343
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
6344
      with deployment operations.
6345
 
6346
    * Release utility
6347
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
6348
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
6349
      restricted by options within the build.
6350
 
6351
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
6352
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
6353
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
6354
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
6355
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
6356
 
6357
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
6358
      directives.
6359
 
6360
    * MakeProject directive
6361
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
6362
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
6363
 
6364
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
6365
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
6366
      is preserved.
6367
 
6368
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
6369
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
6370
      statements.
6371
 
6372
    * Mugfile generation
6373
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
6374
      be placed in the target package.
6375
 
6376
 
6377
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6378
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
6379
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6380
Major changes:
6381
    * BuildVersion directive
6382
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
6383
      number as well as a patch number.
6384
 
6385
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
6386
      number.
6387
 
6388
Minor changes:
6389
    * AddFlags directives
6390
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
6391
      duplicate flags being added.
6392
 
6393
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
6394
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
6395
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
6396
 
6397
    * Mug File Generation
6398
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
6399
 
6400
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
6401
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
6402
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
6403
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
6404
     directory.
6405
 
6406
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
6407
     reproducible.
6408
 
6409
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6410
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
6411
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6412
Major changes:
6413
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
6414
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
6415
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
6416
      longer a list of directories.
6417
 
6418
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
6419
      done within the toolset.
6420
 
6421
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
6422
 
6423
    * JATS environment variables
6424
      Redefined variable
6425
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
6426
                          Previously was a list that included the
6427
                          dpkg_archive cache.
6428
 
6429
      New variable
6430
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
6431
                          the main dpkg_archive.
6432
 
6433
 
6434
Minor changes:
6435
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
6436
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
6437
      target platforms to be extracted.
6438
 
6439
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
6440
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
6441
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
6442
 
6443
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
6444
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
6445
      Units tests will still be run by default.
6446
 
6447
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
6448
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
6449
 
6450
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
6451
      Support ANT based XML files
6452
 
6453
    * Utility: create_dpkg
6454
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
6455
      structure.
6456
 
6457
    * makefile.pl's
6458
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
6459
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
6460
 
6461
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
6462
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
6463
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
6464
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
6465
 
6466
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
6467
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
6468
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
6469
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 6470
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 6471
      -- Auto.
6472
 
6473
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
6474
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
6475
      unit tests within an automated framework.
6476
 
6477
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
6478
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
6479
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
6480
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
6481
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
6482
 
6483
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
6484
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
6485
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
6486
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
6487
      installed on the machine.
6488
 
6489
    * WINCE Targets
6490
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
6491
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
6492
 
6493
 
6494

6496
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
6497
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6498
Major changes:
6499
    * WIN32 platforms
6500
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
6501
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
6502
      and installed packages.
6503
 
6504
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
6505
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
6506
      create CV style debug information in the target.
6507
 
6508
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
6509
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
6510
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
6511
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
6512
      searched when looking for libraries.
6513
 
6514
Minor changes:
6515
    * GenerateFiles directive
6516
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
6517
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
6518
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
6519
                          and drive letter
6520
 
6521
    * Src directive
6522
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
6523
      directory of a package.
6524
 
6525
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
6526
 
6527
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
6528
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
6529
      found in the package and the interface directory.
6530
 
6531
    * jats_rewrite utility
6532
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
6533
 
6534
 
6535
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6536
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
6537
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6538
Major changes:
6539
    * SunWorks production builds
6540
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
6541
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
6542
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
6543
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
6544
      compiler documentation.
6545
 
6546
    * MOS Toolset
6547
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
6548
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
6549
 
6550
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
6551
 
6552
Minor changes:
6553
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
6554
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
6555
      This should not affect current users.
6556
 
6557
    * Mugfile generation
6558
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
6559
      specified.
6560
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
6561
 
6562
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6563
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
6564
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6565
Major changes:
6566
    MOS Toolset
6567
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
6568
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
6569
 
6570
Minor changes:
6571
    * Jats wrapper script
6572
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
6573
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
6574
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
6575
 
6576
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
6577
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
6578
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
6579
      may be suspect.
6580
 
6581
    * GenerateFiles directive
6582
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
6583
      the pathname to the specified package.  
6584
 
6585
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6586
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
6587
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6588
Major changes:
6589
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
6590
      build.xml files.
6591
 
6592
Minor changes:
6593
    * WIN32 toolset.
6594
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
6595
 
6596
    * MakeAnt
6597
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
6598
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
6599
 
6600
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
6601
 
6602
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
6603
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
6604
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
6605
 
6606
    * MakeAnt directive
6607
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
6608
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
6609
      conjunction with the JAVA target
6610
 
6611
      Recommended usage:
6612
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
6613
 
6614
Internal Changes
6615
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
6616

6619
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
6620
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6621
Major changes:
6622
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
6623
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
6624
      files packaged into the release.
6625
 
6626
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
6630
 
6631
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
6632
      The recommended platform is:
6633
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
6634
 
6635
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
6636
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
6637
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
6638
      components.
6639
 
6640
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

6644
 
6645
Minor changes:
6646
    * Support for Windows DLLs
6647
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
6648
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
6649
      by the package to be accessed.
6650
 
6651
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
6652
      application or visual studio.
6653
 
6654
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
6655
      and the JATS Core path.
6656
 
6657
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
6658
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
6659
      directive or if no directories where specified.
6660
 
6661
    * MOS Toolset
6662
      Add support for the TPT device
6663
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
6664
 
6665
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
6666
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
6667
 
6668
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
6669
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
6670
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
6671
 
6672
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
6673
 
6674
Internal Changes
6675
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
6676
      in jats.pl
6677
 
6678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6679
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
6680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6681
Major changes:
6682
    * JATS wrapper script
6683
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
6684
 
6685
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
6686
 
6687
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
6688
 
6689
Minor changes:
6690
    * Deployment support
6691
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
6692
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
6693
 
6694
    * 'build'
6695
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
6696
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
6697
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
6698
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
6699
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
6700
 
6701
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
6702
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
6703
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
6704
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
6705
                                      the link phase.
6706
 
6707
    * BuildPkgArchive
6708
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
6709
      Previously these were ignored.
6710
      Minor code cleanup
6711
 
6712
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
6713
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
6714
      Manager "Source Path" field.
6715
 
6716
    * SOLARIS targets
6717
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
6718
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
6719
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
6720
 
6721
    * MugFile generation
6722
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
6723
      included in the final package.
6724
 
6725
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
6726
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
6727
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
6728
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
6729
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
6730
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
6731
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
6732
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
6733
 
6734
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
6735
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
6736
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
6737
            --Option=(some_text)
6738
            --Option=[some_text]
6739
            --Option={some_text}
6740
 
6741
Internal Changes
6742
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
6743
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
6744
      code.
6745
 
6746
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6747
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
6748
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6749
Major changes:
6750
    * JATS wrapper script
6751
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
6752
 
6753
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
6754
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
6755
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
6756
      other components.
6757
 
6758
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
6759
 
6760
    * JATS
6761
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
6762
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
6763
 
6764
    * Build operations
6765
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
6766
      if required packages are built against different versions of
6767
      packages.
6768
 
6769
    * Make operations
6770
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
6771
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
6772
 
6773
Minor changes:
6774
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
6775
      deployment builds.
6776
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
6777
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
6778
 
6779
      Extended the "jats vars" display
6780
 
6781
    * build.pl
6782
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
6783
        processed. Allows
6784
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
6785
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
6786
        production.
6787
 
6788
    * MOS toolset
6789
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
6790
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
6791
 
6792
    * create_dpkg utility
6793
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
6794
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
6795
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
6796
      progress of the build.
6797
 
6798
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
6799
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
6800
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
6801
      system.
6802
 
6803
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6804
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
6805
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6806
Major changes:
6807
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6808
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
6809
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
6810
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
6811
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
6812
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
6813
 
6814
    * WCEX86A500 target
6815
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
6816
 
6817
    * MOS Toolsets
6818
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
6819
      the compiler.
6820
 
6821
    * RunTest directive
6822
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
6823
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
6824
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
6825
 
6826
Minor changes:
6827
    * JATS BUILD
6828
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
6829
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
6830
      highlight bad settings.
6831
 
6832
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
6833
      access to extensions.
6834
 
6835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6836
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
6837
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6838
Major changes:
6839
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6840
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
6841
 
6842
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
6843
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
6844
      under unix.
6845
 
6846
Minor changes:
6847
    * label utility
6848
      Added options to:
6849
        o Delete a label
6850
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
6851
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
6852
 
6853
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6854
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
6855
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
6856
      Package directives.
6857
 
6858
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
6859
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
6860
      system.
6861
 
6862
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6863
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
6864
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6865
Major changes:
6866
    * MOS Toolset
6867
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
6868
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
6869
 
6870
    * WIN32 Toolset
6871
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
6872
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
6873
      list.
6874
 
6875
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
6876
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
6877
 
6878
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
6879
 
6880
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
6881
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
6882
 
6883
 
6884
Minor changes:
6885
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
6886
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
6887
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
6888
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
6889
      corrected.
6890
 
6891
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
6892
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
6893
 
6894
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
6895
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
6896
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
6897
 
6898
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6899
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
6900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6901
Major changes:
6902
    * WIN32 Toolset
6903
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
6904
      use with multithreaded modes.
6905
 
6906
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
6907
      --OnlyProd.
6908
 
6909
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
6910
      within the makefile.pl.
6911
 
6912
Minor changes:
6913
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
6914
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
6915
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
6916
      platforms.
6917
 
6918
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
6919
 
6920
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6921
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
6922
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6923
Major changes:
6924
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
6925
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
6926
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
6927
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
6928
 
6929
    * Preliminary Support
6930
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
6931
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
6932
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
6933
 
6934
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
6935
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
6936
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
6937
 
6938
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
6939
      building. The default build will build both.
6940
 
6941
Minor changes:
6942
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
6943
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
6944
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
6945
 
6946
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
6947
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
6948
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
6949
 
6950
 
6951
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6952
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
6953
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6954
Major changes:
6955
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
6956
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
6957
      or all.
6958
 
6959
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
6960
      the library or program.
6961
 
6962
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
6963
 
6964
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
6965
      library or any debug files.
6966
 
6967
    * GenerateFiles
6968
      All processed arguments now support two options.
6969
 
6970
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
6971
              directory in which the prereq file is found
6972
 
6973
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
6974
              The filename of the prereq file
6975
 
6976
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
6977
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
6978
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
6979
 
6980
 
6981
Minor changes:
6982
    * create_dpkg utility
6983
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
6984
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
6985
      the package has been altered.
6986
 
6987
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6988
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

6990
Major changes:
6991
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
6992
      This is a WINCE target
6993
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
6994
 
6995
    * New toolset
6996
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
6997
 
6998
    * Modified toolset
6999
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7000
 
7001
    * Modified toolset
7002
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7003
 
7004
Minor changes:
7005
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7006
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7007
 
7008
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7009
 
7010
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7011
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7012
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7013
 
7014
      The change allows the construct
7015
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7016
      to be replaced by the simpler
7017
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7018
 
7019
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7020
      specified name.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7041
Major changes:
7042
    * The "package.pl" file.
7043
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7044
      package name being taken from the build name
7045
 
7046
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7047
      package Build Name.
7048
 
7049
Minor changes:
7050
    * create_dpkg utility

        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7063
           ansi, but is often done.
7064
 
7065
    * GCC toolset
7066
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7067
      being created in the correct place.
7068
 
7069
    * jats "label"
7070
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7071
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7072

Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7076
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7077
Major changes:
7078
 
7079
Minor changes:
7080
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7081
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7082
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7083
 
7084
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7085
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7086
 
7087
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7088
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7089
      package was not being transferred.
7090
 
7091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7092
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7093
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7094
Major changes:
7095
    * Support for solaris_i386
7096
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7097
      binaries for this target.
7098
 
7099
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7100
      with the GCC compiler.
7101
 
7102
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7103
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7104
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7105
 
7106
Minor changes:
7107
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7108
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7109
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7110
 
7111
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7112
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7113
 
7114
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7115
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7116
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7117
Major changes:
7118
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7119
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7120
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7121
 
7122
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7123
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7124
 
7125
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7126
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7127
      with either " or ' characters.
7128
 
7129
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7130
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7131
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7132
 
7133
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7134
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7135
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7136
 
7137
    * Jats wrapper
7138
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7139
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7140
      further commands.
7141
 
7142
Minor changes:
7143
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7144
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7145
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7146
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7147
 
7148
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7149
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7150
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7151
Major changes:
7152
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7153
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7154
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7155
 
7156
      These options operation affect all components within the
7157
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7158
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7159
 
7160
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7161
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7162
 
7163
Minor changes:
7164
 
7165
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7166
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7167
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7168
Major changes:
7169
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7170
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7171
 
7172
Minor changes:
7173
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7174
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7175
 
7176
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7177
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7178
 
7179
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7180
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7181
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7182
Major changes:
7183
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7184
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7185
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7186
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7187
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7188
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7189
      installed.
7190
 
7191
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7192
      libraries that depend on each other.
7193
 
7194
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7195
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7196
 
7197
Minor changes:
7198
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7199
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7200
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7201
 
7202
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7203
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7204
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7205
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7206
 
7207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7208
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7209
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7210
Major changes:
7211
 
7212
Minor changes:
7213
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7214
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7215
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7216
      file.
7217
 
7218
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7219
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7220
 
7221
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7222
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7223
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7224
 
7225
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7226
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7227
 
7228
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7229
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7230
 
7231
    * WinCE toolsets
7232
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7233
      compiler specific libraries.
7234
 
7235
    * SOLARIS toolset
7236
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7237
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7238
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7239
 
7240
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7241
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7242
      cleaned up.
7243
 
7244
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7245
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7246
 
7247
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7248
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7249
      with either " or ' characters.
7250
 
7251

7253
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7254
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7255
Major changes:
7256
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7257
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7258
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7259
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7260
 
7261
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7262
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7263
 
7264
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7265
      user.
7266
 
7267
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7268
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7269
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7270
 
7271
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7272
      for the   -Gf option.
7273
 
7274
Minor changes:
7275
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7276
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7277
 
7278
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7279
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7280
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7281
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7282
 
7283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7284
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7285
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7286
Major changes:
7287
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7288
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7289
 
7290
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7291
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7292
      data addresses for the board.
7293
 
7294
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7295
 
7296
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7297
 
7298
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7299
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7300
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7301
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7302
         PackageFile
7303
 
7304
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7305
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7306
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7307
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
7308
 
7309
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
7310
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
7311
      to be installed and packaged.
7312
 
7313
Minor changes:
7314
 
7315
    * cache_dpkg utility
7316
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
7317
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
7318
 
7319
    * label utility
7320
      New option -auto to create and label
7321
 
7322
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
7323
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
7324
 
7325
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
7326
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
7327
      directory. ie:
7328
 
7329
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
7330
 
7331
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
7332
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
7333
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
7334
 
7335
 
7336
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7337
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
7338
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7339
Major changes:
7340
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
7341
 
7342
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
7343
      To be used by the nightly build process.
7344
 
7345
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
7346
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
7347
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
7348
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
7349
 
7350
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
7351
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
7352
      compilation.
7353
 
7354
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
7355
 
7356
Minor changes:
7357
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
7358
      one is being produced.
7359
 
7360
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
7361
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
7362
      job of cleaning the workspace.
7363
 
7364
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
7365
 
7366
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
7367
 
7368
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
7369
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
7370
 
7371
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7372
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
7373
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7374
Major changes:
7375
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
7376
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
7377
 
7378
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
7379
 
7380
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
7381
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
7382
      same directory
7383
 
7384
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
7385
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
7386
      documenattion.
7387
 
7388
Minor changes:
7389
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
7390
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
7391
 
7392
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
7393
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
7394
 
7395
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
7396
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
7397
 
7398
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
7399
      when the verbose option had not been selected
7400
 
7401
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
7402
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
7403
      be exempt from this test.
7404
 
7405
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
7406
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
7407
 
7408
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
7409
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
7410
 
7411
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
7412
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
7413
      does.
7414
 
7415
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
7416
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
7417
 
7418
 
7419
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7420
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
7421
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7422
Major changes:
7423
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
7424
 
7425
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
7426
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
7427
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
7428
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
7429
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
7430
 
7431
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
7432
      operations.
7433
 
7434
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
7435
 
7436
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
7437
 
7438
Minor changes
7439
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
7440
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
7441
 
7442
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
7443
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
7444
      directory is not added to the library path.
7445
 
7446
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
7447
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
7448
 
7449
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
7450
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
7451
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
7452
 
7453
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
7454
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
7455
      specific flags.
7456
 
7457
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
7458
 
7459
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
7460
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
7461
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
7462
 
7463
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
7464
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
7465
      JATS.
7466
 
7467
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
7468
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
7469
 
7470
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
7471
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
7472
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
7473
 
7474
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
7475
      the initial DLL or EXE.
7476
 
7477
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
7478
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
7479
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
7480
 
7481
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
7482
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
7483
 
7484
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
7485
 
7486
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
7487
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
7488
 
7489
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
7490
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
7491
      objects.
7492
 
7493
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
7494
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
7495
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
7496
      build defendants.
